Chapter 228 - I Have A Friend (2/2)
Tian Zhu was confused. She was about to cry. Why was her Ren was still frozen like an idiot? Was he so happy that he had become mad?
Fortunately, Ren Ruofeng was a man with 400 IQ, not to mention theorizing and strategizing intelligence of 99 points. He came back immediately and asked her, ” Zhu, you should calm down. What’s happening with our child?”
Ren Ruofeng was 74, and due to several circumstances, had not had a child yet. He may be surprised, but he was also pleased.
“You know Qi Mei of Azure Mountain?”
How wise was Ren Ruofeng? As soon as she mentioned her, he had immediately made the connection and guessed what was happening. “You are saying, Gu Buwei has taken her soul back to Azure Mountain and someone wants her to take over our child?”
Tian Zhu was pleased. “Your intelligence is truly unparalleled, my dear Ren. It is so, and now I am trapped by Gu Buwei’s mistress and master, as well as her uncle in the Three Greats Formation and now cannot move an inch. Qi Mei has already entered or child’s body and in another 49 days, she will be born. I wanted them to wipe away her memories before letting her be reincarnated, but they obviously did not do so.”
“How dare they?!” Ren Ruofeng said angrily and anxiously. The heavens had finally given him a child, and so what if it was a piglet? That is a Celestial Swine, and how could anyone try to take over it?
Reincarnation and taking over were different. Xu Shilin was the reincarnation of the Wenqu Star 3 , and the star did not bring any memories with it, but only his writing talent, intelligence and fortune. His memories and consciousness were slowly developed by his parents in that life, which is why he would call Xu Xian his father and Bai Shuzhen his mother. If it was not so, then he would not have recognized them as his parents. 4
He immediately reassured her. ” Zhu-zhu, don’t you worry. I am a very important person in the outside world, and have many high connections. I may be a government official and cannot forgo official work for personal affairs, but I can call upon some of my good friends. There will be a way to deal with Azure Mountain.”
Tian Zhu said with admiration, “I knew my dear Ren, unparalleled in the world, would find a way. You need to be careful though, the Grandmaster of Azure Mountain has already controlled all of the arcane realms in it. His power is connected to Heaven, and his presence is akin to that of the Heavenly Axiom. Fighting him won’t be easy.”
“Even if his power is connected to Heaven, there will be flaws. I have thought about this for quite a while; even if we don’t invade Azure Mountain and somehow force them to wipe away Qi Mei’s memories, it can be done.” Ren Ruofeng said confidently.
Tian Zhu was mesmerized by him, and she no longer panicked.
She still needed to fight the Three Greats Formation. Quickly, both broke the connection and Ren Ruofeng stood. He started pacing in the office.
Then, a voice rang out.
“Who is Zhu-zhu? And who is Dear Ren?”
…
“What? You want to ask us to work with you on this tactic Attack the Heavenly Mountain with Seven Swords?”
Fang Ning stared, expressionless, looking like a statue; the Yellow Dog stared,its face towards the sky like some stupid husky 5 .
The Black Dog Brett rolled his eyes about, not knowing the situation but choosing to follow his master and Boss.
At the moment, Vigilante A and the two canines were in a deserted field, meeting with Ren Ruofeng and Hong Yunjiao. Ren Ruofeng had dark circles under his eyes, as though he had one too many late nights. Theoretically it could be removed easily using magic, but maybe he wanted to leave them there to show his hardworking attitude.
“Hear me out, Venerable One. I have a friend who had a sinful affair with the Guardian Goddess of Azure Mountain while cultivating there. Now, the Goddess is 10-years pregnant, and the Qi Mei you defeated before wants to take the baby…”
Ren Ruofeng used the classic “friend” cover to begin his story, telling everything from start to end.
The System said, “Big Billionaire, what is he saying? I don’t understand.”
Fang Ning said with a gossipy look, sniggering, “He is saying that he had a sinful affair with the Guardian Goddess, and now he wants us to help save his old lover – at least to not allow the baby to be taken. This Old Man Ren has a good, righteous look about him, yet he did this sort of thing. Though obviously, we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. Sigh, I’m just too innocent.”
The System replied, “Oh, really? What should we do?”
Fang Ning thought, ‘How should know what to do?’ But he had been with Sir for the better part of the year, and he had learnt a tactic; if it’s impossible, giving up was a good option…
So he said decisively, “Ask Ren Ruofeng. He’s the leader of the Think Tank Group, and he can probably see through it.”
Vigilante A said, “Leader Ren, I think there may be something suspicious about all this.”
Ren Ruofeng seemed to agree. “You are truly wise to a level unparalleled, Venerable Sir. I thought so too… of course we cannot enter that mountain, but I have researched them for years and I know their fatal weak point. That is…”
Fang Ning listened patiently, nodding his head occasionally. Ren Ruofeng was truly no good person; he was cunning and calculating, with high IQ. Such unstable factors as Azure Mountain had been researched by him many times.
If he had not been invaded by Sir System who had unrivaled Celestial Aura and maintained his introvert look of before, he would have been so different from this person that he could only watch him through online videos while giving several unsavory comments.
How would it be like this, the other explaining patiently when he did not understand it and making sure he himself also understood it fully?
