Gu Liyan shrugged. "Who knows?"
With that, he walked towards the town at the foot of the mountain, looking completely indifferent.
"That wretched fox!" Mo Chen followed after her angrily.
Cheng Wu, standing behind him, remained motionless, as if he had lost his soul, looking dazed, as if he had witnessed something terrible...
"The border region of Feixian is guarded by the Cheng family. They are not a large family, nor are they powerful, but there is a saying: 'The victor is king, the loser is villain,' and they are terrified at the mere mention of their name. With King Wen's assistance, they are filled with trepidation." Gu Liyan said as she walked, "The Cheng family is skilled in martial arts, and the Wen family is skilled in strategy. Guarding the border depends solely on these two families."
"Ah, so Chengwu isn't a bad person after all. Although he's a bit ugly and a bit sleazy, he's not too evil." Mo Chen turned to look at Gu Liyan, pursed his lips, and said, "Unlike a certain fox, who uses someone and then dumps them!"
Gu Liyan smiled slightly and said nothing when he saw the disdainful look on Mo Chen's face. His Ancient Charm Technique was one of the Nine Dusts of Fate's ultimate skills. Although it could not be considered an offensive skill, it was the best way to win people's hearts.
And it can also make the other person completely forget everything about them...
"So, should we join the Cheng family or the Wen family?" Mo Chen rolled his eyes and asked.
Gu Liyan looked at Mo Chen and asked, "Why do you want to join their family?"
"Huh? How can you participate in the world order without joining a faction? This is the only way to change the world! Don't forget that when I changed the Heavenly Palace's order and when you helped Mulan drive out the Tartars, we really did it!" Mo Chen said anxiously.
Gu Liyan remained calm, blinking as she looked at Mo Chen. "But don't you think these two families are too close to the edge of the battlefield, rather than the central world? If we fail, we'll be the first to die."
Mo Chen thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, "That's right! Following them will only lead to countless battles! It will only delay our mission."
“Yes, so we should take a longer-term view.” Gu Liyan smiled slightly.
"Then, what exactly do we do?" Mo Chen scratched his head, a little at a loss.
"I obtained a lot of interesting information from Chengwu. There are three forces in this world that remain neutral and are not bothered by the war." Gu Liyan said, squinting. "The first is Qingge Hall, which Chengwu mentioned. It's a place for pleasure-seeking, where people only seek laughter and joy, not war or fame. No one bothers them, and Qingge Hall is a source of intelligence for no apparent reason. As for the second, Shadow Pavilion, it's a paradise for assassins and a hell on earth. It's a free zone that both celestial beings and immortals love. Finally, the third is Wanbao Palace, a gambling, consumption, and auction venue that's spread all over the world. There, as long as you have money, no one dares to mess with you."
Mo Chen's eyes lit up. "So, all we need to do is join these three forces, right?"
Gu Liyan smiled slightly, his eyes narrowed. "That's right! Qingge Hall is located in this town. We'll join Qingge Hall first. As intelligence bases, we need to know the locations and territories of the other two forces. Once we slowly infiltrate them, this world will be in our hands!"
Mo Chen looked at Gu Liyan with excitement, "You rascal, I have to say, doing missions with you is not only exciting but also very cool!"
Gu Liyan smiled slightly, "Relax and be the incompetent in this world, then take control of it. Our ultimate goal is to subtly change it!"
