Chapter 78 - I Have a Favor to Ask of You (1/2)

Lin Luoran’s question surprises Wen Guanjing a little.

He knows from her life experience that she has grown up in a more-than-normal family. However, she doesn’t act arrogantly as most people do when they suddenly become rich. She is prudent. Why is that?

Still, Wen Guanjing has nothing to hide. Conspiracies are usually applied when the strength of the two parties are not comparable. The actual situation is that the gap between them and the others are so huge that others just see them as ants, therefore, it’s better to put everything above board— It is acknowledged that in the State of Huaxia, every cultivator under the level of Bearing Essence is as negligible as an ant.

Wen Guanjing thinks for less than a minute and tells Lin Luoran about the plan his department made last night.

“We’re hoping that your esteemed master can come to help us in the Night of Bermuda half a month later.”

“Night of Bermuda” is obviously a term commonly known in certain levels of the cultivational world. Wen Guanjing and his department never imagine that Lin Luoran is only a lucky dog who accidentally starts to cultivate, and she barely understands the current situation of the cultivational world, let alone these secrets.

As for the help of her “master” — there is no way that she can find a powerful master now. Thus Lin Luoran has no choice but to turn them down.

No… There isn’t a wall which hasn’t a crack and nothing can be kept secret forever in this world. Lin Luoran wants to say no on behalf of her “master”, but what about the next time, or the time after the next? Her unreal master is unreliable. Lin Luoran squints her eyes and comes up with an idea.

“Mr. Wen, I can’t understand what you are talking about. Sorry, I don’t agree with the condition you offer. Perhaps I have no choice but to decline your invitation.” Lin Luoran mentions nothing about her “master”. Her words are ambiguous, which are the most misleading.

Lin Luoran doesn’t know that the special department has identified her master as the only cultivator in the level of Bearing Essence, so she a.s.sumes that Wen Guanjing will give up now. In fact, if Lin Luoran agrees that she will ask her master to come, people in the special department may actually have doubts — after all, due to the disadvantageous Reiki in the world, even cultivators in the level of Laying Foundation will try their best to avoid meaningless fights. As a rookie, Lin Luoran can never understand how hard it is to refine Reiki since she owns the bead. High-level cultivators are powerful, but it will take them a long time to regain the Reiki they use in a fight, which is more harmful than good.

Wen Guanjing and the department aren’t expecting that a cultivator in the level of Bearing Essence can come. However, as long as they build connections with Lin Luoran, they may get closer one day, right?

Wen Guanjing has got the answer he is looking forward to, so he makes his next move with a smile, “Miss. Lin, the Night of Bermuda opens once every hundred years. Don’t you want to go and try your fortune? You may find some treasures in the remains if you’re lucky, and there are also weapons and spell books. Plus, you may have a chance of finding one or two Reiki elixirs which can help you out of years of hard cultivation.”

Lin Luoran owns the s.p.a.ce, and she is not interested in Reiki elixir. But spell books… Lin Luoran is tempted.

“What’s your condition?” According to Wen Guanjing, that place seems to be filled with magic weapons and elixirs. Lin Luoran doesn’t believe that he’s just offering her a share of the pie for free. She has never seen him laugh, and he is laughing like a fox now. Thus he must have plotted something!
