Except for Jiang Zifeng who was on duty, everyone else fell asleep quickly.
Outside the villa, snakes, insects, and rodents kept gathering, but the villa was impregnable, and they couldn't get in at all.
Jiang Zifeng felt much more at ease upon seeing this, but he still dared not let his guard down, constantly observing the situation outside and the durability of the villa.
...
Afy Island.
A thin and gentle man was fiddling with an instrument. The indicator light on the instrument kept lighting up, and the faint light shone on his fair face, making his expression look calm.
The room was completely silent except for the beeping of instruments.
A moment later, Anning was interrupted as someone pushed the door open and entered.
Yafei stood at the door, looking at the thin figure, and asked, "Mr. Lu, did it go smoothly?"
The moment she opened her mouth, Mr. Lu frowned slightly, then turned around with a warm smile on his face: "Of course everything went well."
Yafei showed a satisfied look on his face and ordered, "Very good, monitor the operation of the system at all times and make it more difficult for Luo Xinglan's team."
Mr. Lu's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Yafei, why did you ask me to change the course of this hunting activity? Don't use the Supreme Dragon to perfunctorily persuade me, I don't believe it."
Ya Fei stared at him for a long moment before calmly saying, "Mr. Lu, you're a wise man. You should know that a wise bird chooses the right tree to inhabit. The current Shenlong has lost interest in governing this world. If we continue to follow him, we will only bring about our own destruction. I will replace him and become the master of this world."
Mr. Lu remained calm. In fact, he had already had this suspicion when Yafei "invited" him to Yafei Island.
What he didn't expect was that Yafei actually said it without reservation.
Is she too conceited, or is she already completely confident?
Suppressing his various guesses, Mr. Lu continued to ask, "But what does this have to do with you asking me to change the event's progress? And why is that survivor named Luo Xinglan constantly increasing the difficulty for her team?"
Mentioning Luo Xinglan, Ya Fei showed disdain: "Our most honorable Lord Shenlong actually wants to hand over this world to a survivor to manage, making us managers inferior to the survivors! Where does he put us if he does this? It's simply ridiculous!"
"Luo Xinglan, what makes her so special? Over the years, I have served the Divine Dragon diligently and faithfully. Even if he is tired of immortality, he should hand over this world to me to rule!"
"Since he gave up on me, I will fight for everything I deserve!"
"Mr. Lu, you need to think this through carefully. If you choose the wrong side, you will face utter destruction."
At the end of his words, Yafei's tone already had a threatening tone.
Mr. Lu nodded calmly: "I have thought it through. I will do my best to help you get promoted. People strive for higher positions, and water flows downhill. I naturally understand this principle."
Ya Fei raised the corners of his lips: "Very good, you are much more clear-headed than Oin and the old evil talisman."
Mr. Lu raised an eyebrow: "You also captured Ao Yin and the Old Evil of Talismans... and 'invited' them over?"
Yafei snorted coldly: "I had high hopes for the two of them, but who knew they would be so stubborn? It's a real waste of my good intentions!"
Mr. Lu rolled his eyes. "You know I have a good relationship with them. Why don't you let me persuade them? Maybe they will change their minds."
Yafei thought for a moment and said, "That would be best. However, you should try to persuade Aoyin. I value his abilities. As for the old evil talisman, he's like a rock in the toilet—stinky and hard. There's no need to waste time on him."
Mr. Lu nodded: "Alright, shall we go now?"
Yafei turned around and said, "Follow me."
Mr. Lu lowered his eyes and quickly followed her to the secret room where Oin was imprisoned.
Oin's hands and feet were tied to the pillar, his hair was a mess, and he was much thinner than before.
Hearing a noise at the door, he struggled to lift his head and focused his gaze on Mr. Lu's face.
After a long pause, he said haltingly, "I am so embarrassed to see an old friend like this. Please forgive me."
Mr. Lu quickly stepped forward and untied the shackles that bound his hands and feet.
Yafei narrowed his eyes: "Mr. Lu, don't be so smart!"
Mr. Lu suppressed his anger, turned around and said calmly, "He's already so weak, is there any need to lock him up? Or are you afraid of even someone like Oin?"
Yafei thought for a moment, "Then let's do as you said, and stop locking him up. But if you can't persuade him, then..."
Mr. Lu said confidently, "I will persuade him."
"That's good."
Yafei turned and left.
Mr. Lu quickly helped Ao Yin to a chair, his face full of concern: "How did you get yourself into such a mess? I know you don't want to associate with Ya Fei, but you still have to protect yourself..."
Oin interrupted him with a low cough and gestured to him to look at the wall.
Mr. Lu glanced over and saw a camera installed in a hidden place on the wall.
He immediately understood what Oin meant.
Meanwhile, Yafei entered a room and looked at a monitor. On the monitor was Mr. Lu's Oin.
After a moment, Mr. Lu sighed and said in a tone that seemed to be concerned for Oin: "Oin, I have decided to follow Yafei. Since we have been friends for many years, I am here to persuade you to surrender. There is no future in following Shenlong."
He deliberately said the word "Shenlong" very slowly, hoping that his friend would understand what he meant.
Before he was "invited" by Yafei, Lord Shenlong had already contacted him and told him everything.
He had no objection to letting a survivor become a manager.
Lord Shenlong specifically told him that if Yafei took any action, he should follow the trend.
What he understood as "going with the flow" was pretending to surrender and taking advantage of the situation.
And he did indeed do it.
Now what he needs to do is to "persuade" Oin.
Ao Yin understood his meaning and followed up, saying, "Mr. Lu, let me be honest with you. Actually, I didn't want to cooperate with Ya Fei at first, but these past few days, I've come to a realization. Shenlong's glory days are over, and Ya Fei is the one who can lead us. I'm willing to follow her, but..."
Mr. Lu hurriedly asked, "But what?"
Oin: "It's just that I've been resisting for so long. If I suddenly say I want to surrender, I'm afraid Yafei won't believe me and will suspect I have ulterior motives. That's why I haven't said the words of surrender yet."
Mr. Lu: "I understand. You need a way out."
Oin: “…That’s right.”
