Upon hearing this, Lu Fan was immediately surprised and couldn't help but ask, "Is it that difficult for you?"
Lu Fan had assumed that Wang Tianzhao, being General Zhao Deyang's apprentice, would be doing better than him, but Wang Tianzhao's nervous demeanor clearly indicated otherwise.
Li Yu was equally curious about what kind of environment could have transformed the invincible and confident Holy Son Wang Tianzhao into the cautious and timid person he is today.
“It’s really not easy…” Wang Tianzhao nodded, a bitter smile on his face.
As if remembering something, Wang Tianzhao suddenly frowned and spoke with a serious expression:
“Li Yu, Lu Fan, during the time I followed my master, General Zhao Deyang, I learned some things about the internal workings of the Zhongzhou government.”
Wang Tianzhao looked at the two of them intently, a hint of worry in his eyes:
"The identity of the Star Lord doesn't mean anything. You all need to be careful. The waters behind this are much deeper than anyone imagines."
Lu Fan raised an eyebrow and asked, "How deep is it? Tell me."
Wang Tianzhao lowered his voice: "On the surface, the Central Continent government seems to be planning a major operation, wanting to use the power of the Star Lord to defeat the Underworld Clan and the Twelve Holy Thrones."
"But you should be able to sense that Zhongzhou's attitude towards Xingjun is very subtle. They want to use Xingjun, but they also have some reservations."
"Moreover, they seem to be hiding some important secrets and don't completely trust the Star Lord."
Wang Tianzhao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "That's because it seems that a Star Lord once betrayed Zhongzhou! He even openly defied orders."
"Therefore, the current Central Plains government wants to find a way to restrain the Star Lord first, and then focus all its efforts on cultivating him."
"Targeting our own Star Lord?" Lu Fan's eyes turned cold, and a chill rose from the bottom of his heart.
"Control." A cold glint flashed in Wang Tianzhao's eyes as well: "They want to completely control the Star Lord, preferably to make him a weapon they can use at any time."
"I see." Li Yu and Lu Fan nodded thoughtfully after hearing this.
Even without Wang Tianzhao's reminder, both of them could sense Zhongzhou's ambiguous attitude towards them.
Li Yu felt a similar sense of urgency from the Thunder Bureau, as they both wanted to win them over and remained wary of them.
However, they have never thought about this in depth.
"No wonder I always felt that I wasn't valued by the Central State after I became a Star Lord." Lu Fan felt this deeply.
Thinking of the people who had just left, Lu Fan suddenly asked Wang Tianzhao deliberately:
“Wang Tianzhao, as a member of the Central Plains Military Command, shouldn’t your goal be to protect the Central Plains and fight against foreign enemies? Why don’t you join ‘them’?”
The "they" that Lu Fan was referring to were naturally the few people who had gathered around Lei Xiao earlier.
Upon hearing this, Wang Tianzhao sighed and said, "I would like to, but I am an outsider after all."
"Outsiders?" Li Yu and Lu Fan were both somewhat surprised.
Wang Tianzhao has become General Zhao Deyang's acknowledged disciple, and with the help of the military, he has obtained the Dragon Vein. How could he be an outsider?
Wang Tianzhao looked helpless. He had been living a high and mighty life in the shelter since he was a child. As the holy son of the shelter, he was naturally very clear about the thoughts of those in the upper class.
However, his status has now been reversed.
Now, he is like those refugees who once lived outside the shelter. Even after entering the shelter, he was still missing something and could never truly integrate into it.
Wang Tianzhao couldn't explain much in a short time, so he could only remind the two of his instructions again:
"Don't let your guard down. In the eyes of the Central Plains government, our strength is actually nothing."
"Just looking at the top ten on the Wind and Cloud Ranking, those who are publicly known are strong enough to deal with most Star Lords. You need to be more careful in the future, and don't let others use you as a pawn."
Wang Tianzhao looked at Li Yu: "Especially you, Li Yu, you probably don't even know how strong your influence is, making you easier for them to exploit."
Wang Tianzhao was absolutely certain that among those families in Zhongzhou, there were definitely some who had bet on Li Yu, and were constantly pushing up Li Yu's reputation.
There must be something hidden behind this, but Li Yu seems completely unaware of it.
"My influence?" Li Yu simply smiled upon hearing this. In his opinion, Wang Tianzhao's words were somewhat exaggerated.
These words, spoken by Wang Tianzhao, sounded so frightening.
"Don't worry, my strength isn't so easy to exploit," Li Yu reassured her.
Wang Tianzhao curled his lip after hearing this; Li Yu had no idea what those people's purpose was.
However, judging from those newspaper articles, Li Yu really dared to do anything, and he would do anything to anyone he met, which truly impressed him.
Although Wang Tianzhao was unclear about what Zhongzhou wanted to do with Xingjun, he could guess a thing or two from his master Zhao Deyang's cryptic words.
It seems that one needs strength to hold onto the position of a Star Lord.
Wang Tianzhao paused, then added to the two of them, "Remember, from now on, focus on improving your strength."
A series of beeping sounds suddenly came from Wang Tianzhao.
"I have to go." Wang Tianzhao said, removing the light shield and turning back to the two of them, speaking earnestly:
"Let's talk next time. We'll have plenty of opportunities to meet in the future."
After saying this, Wang Tianzhao walked out of the hall, and a burst of light suddenly erupted from his body, as dazzling as the sun.
He transformed into a beam of light and shot into the sky, disappearing into the clouds.
Watching Wang Tianzhao's departing figure, Li Yu and Lu Fan stood on the steps of Tian Shu Pavilion, speechless for a moment.
"He's changed a lot." Lu Fan broke the silence, his voice low and filled with emotion.
Looking in the direction Wang Tianzhao had left, Li Yu sighed in agreement:
"Yes, he seems no longer to be that holy son."
