Wang Yao's mind raced, and he basically figured out why Qinghe had been able to successfully sneak into the ticket market by following him all the way. However, he was still even more puzzled. But at this moment, facing Liang Shan, especially since Qinghe had an important task to complete that night, he could only talk about other things.
“I am indeed from the Liang tribe. My purpose in coming to the Liang tribe is the same as my purpose in coming here. As for your claim that I have a companion, there is indeed one, but she has disappeared since I went shopping with her last night,” Wang Yao said to Liang Shan, blinking his eyes.
"Shopping? Disappeared? How could this be?" Liang Shan suddenly sat up straight.
"It's nothing, just a Liang ethnic minority girl who said she wanted to travel to the Shu ethnic minority and wanted to travel with me. I was originally planning to come to the Shu ethnic minority anyway, so I agreed. After she finished shopping in the cheese city, she wanted to go out on her own, so I naturally had no reason to stop her," Wang Yao said to Liang Shan in a serious tone.
"I see. Um... could you talk about your main purpose in going to the Liang tribe and coming to our Shu tribe?" Liang Shan took out a notebook from his pocket, hurriedly writing something down, and then asked Wang Yao.
Since Wang Yao had already come to the foreign guest reception area with this person, he stopped being coy and told Liang Shan everything again about the investigation team's suspicions about the Hu tribe, their desire to resettle other mainland refugees, and their persuasion of the Shu tribe not to join the tribal alliance.
“We know that the Shu Clan has a long-standing tradition of making friends with all sectors of society. As the transportation hub of the Holy Domain and the key link between the Holy Domain and all sectors of society, we hope that the Shu Clan can understand that the emergence of the tribal alliance does not simply mean that the balance of power within the Holy Domain has just changed.”
"This also means that a force hostile to the Heavenly Court has emerged in the Holy Realm. The Heavenly Court will absolutely not stand idly by. The Shu Clan and the Heavenly Court can reach each other in a short time. If a wrong choice is made, the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, nobles must take this seriously to avoid irreversible consequences."
Wang Yao finally spoke earnestly to Liang Shan.
“We understand, we understand. We have been handling our relationship with the ethnic alliance with great care.” Liang Shan nodded repeatedly while nervously taking notes in his notebook.
"Well then, Lord Matchmaker, please rest for a bit while I go out to make a phone call," Liang Shanji said respectfully to Wang Yao as he finished writing and put away his notebook.
Wang Yao nodded and watched Liang Shan leave the room. He then walked to the French windows facing the outside of the room, lifted the curtains, and saw that it was almost noon outside.
"Lord of the Moon, may I ask where your Liang tribe companion parted ways with you last night?" Liang Shan returned to his room not long after, and asked as soon as he entered.
"Um... I'm not really sure about the exact location. She got off the bus not long after leaving Baiwei Street." Wang Yao paused for a moment, then slowly walked back to his seat and sat down, answering with a frown.
He didn't know how advanced the Shu tribe's surveillance network was, so he could only give a vague answer. Otherwise, if he gave a specific location and the surveillance there didn't detect Qinghe, he would be lying to her face, which would put him in a very passive position.
However, Wang Yao was certain of one thing: they were lucky that they hadn't taken advantage of the private taxi's discount. Without the discount, the private taxi wouldn't turn on its surveillance cameras, so they had plenty of room to hide and maneuver while riding in the private taxi.
"Um..." Liang Shan blinked after hearing Wang Yao's answer and asked again, "Lord Matchmaker, would it be convenient for you to tell me your current address in Cheese City?"
“Well…” Wang Yao smiled mysteriously. “Please forgive me, it’s not very convenient. I know that just yesterday, a delegation from the Ethnic Alliance arrived in Cheese City. Director Liang, you have kept this a secret from me, which makes me wonder about the current relationship between the Shu tribe and the Ethnic Alliance.”
"How did you know? Could it be..." Liang Shan's expression changed drastically upon hearing this. He had gone to great lengths to invite Wang Yao to the foreign guest reception area because a secret meeting between the tribal alliance and the Shu tribe was taking place on the island in the middle of the lake. He was afraid that the tribal alliance would discover that a celestial being from the Heavenly Court had appeared in Cheese City at this time.
Unexpectedly, while he was on guard against the other side knowing about the situation of the Heavenly Court Immortals, the Heavenly Court Immortals had already clearly grasped that the Tribal Alliance delegation was in Cheese City, and he immediately felt somewhat caught off guard.
For the Shu tribe, who were unwilling to choose sides between the Eastern Continent and the Ethnic Alliance, the visit of the Ethnic Alliance delegation was handled with extreme discretion. They maintained tight security and kept the visit secret to avoid attracting attention from the outside world.
However, to Liang Shan's surprise, the arrival of the tribal alliance delegation had already alerted the Heavenly Court's investigation team. This greatly surprised Liang Shan, who was aware of his tribe's predicament, and he even felt a deep sense of crisis.
"How did you know? Of course we have our own intelligence sources. We just hope that you, nobleman, will behave yourself." Wang Yao smiled calmly. He said this intentionally, after all, he was always being questioned by Liang Shan, which put him in a rather passive position.
As expected, once the news came out, Liang Shan was thrown into a panic and could no longer keep up with Qing He's whereabouts.
"Please understand the difficulties faced by our Holy Domain clan, Immortal. In this land of great contention, we seek a place where our people can live and work in peace. There are some things we simply have to do our best to make." Liang Shan sat down and said bitterly to Wang Yao.
"But Director Liang should also know that there is no perfect solution in this world. At critical moments, choices must be made. Hesitation only leads to trouble," Wang Yao said earnestly.
The two chatted in the room, and as it was getting late afternoon, Wang Yao grew increasingly anxious. Just as he was estimating the car rental company's return time and preparing to leave, a short but burly old man pushed open the door and strode in.
