Chapter 369 Test

Lyu Liang had been beaming with joy since the match was over. On the contrary, Lin Qiangu pouted angrily while watching Lyu Liang chatting merrily with Wen Xiaojing.

“Qiangu, could you forgive Lyu Liang? You still have other chances to test him. We have many enemies, and they are very strong. So you will learn what his abilities are sooner or later. I believe his performance will not disappoint you!” When Lyu Liang went to bid farewell to Mu Haiying, Wen Xiaojing held Lin Qiangu’s arm and tried to soothe her.

“Hmph! All right, I forgive him!” Lin Qiangu nodded compromisingly and said seriously, “To be honest, his defense was very strong, and his strategies were out of my expectation.”

Wen Xiaojing smiled but did not say anything. Just then, Lyu Liang came back. He took a look at Wen Xiaojing and then cupped his hands toward Lin Qiangu. “I have to go to the Pan Gu Heavenly Alliance now. Please help me take care of Xiaojing!”

“Of course! I knew Xiaojing much earlier than you! As long as I am alive, I will not let anyone hurt her!” Lin Qiangu said angrily, with great resolution.

Lyu Liang nodded firmly and gave a caring glance at Wen Xiaojing again. Then, his figure became vague and gradually disappeared.

“Xiaojing, have you… fallen in love with him?” Lin Qiangu frowned and asked hesitantly. At this moment, her friend looked very worried.

Hearing that, Wen Xiaojing turned around and replied with a smile, “I never think that way. He is the most important key for me. I just don’t want to lose it. Let’s go! We have not seen each other for a long time. Now that we are finally free, let’s have a nice chat! Tell me something about the Heaven Realm!” She held Lin Qiangu’s hand and took her toward the cave residence.

Lin Qiangu gave a wry smile and murmured in her mind, “Xiaojing, you would have maximized your benefits and minimized your losses to achieve your aim. But now, you have violated your principles several times. Is he really just a key for you?”

……

Half a day later, Lyu Liang arrived at the Pan Gu Heavenly Alliance. It was protected by a huge defensive cover. He noticed a blue-clad girl standing at the entrance. Upon getting closer, he recognized that she was Xiao Rong, Fairy Purple Phoenix’s personal maid.

“Hmph! You dared keep me waiting for several days! Fairy Purple Phoenix was worried about you and made me wait for you here! By the way, you can call me Sister Xiao Rong!” Xiao Rong said in a huff. Lyu Liang felt deeply wronged because he had hurried over before he fully recovered.

“Thank you for waiting for me! Should I go to meet Milord Night Dragon right now?” Lyu Liang asked as he cupped his hands respectfully.

“Yes, he has been waiting for a long time. Follow me.” Xiao Rong nodded. While she led Lyu Liang in, she transmitted her voice secretly: “When you meet him, speak less and listen more. Fairy Purple Phoenix is his daughter. You can mention her casually to win his trust.”

“Thank you!” Lyu Liang smiled lightly. This girl left a good impression on him.

On entering the Heavenly Alliance, Lyu Liang opened his eyes wide. He could not help thinking, “This is so remarkable!” The furnishings here were much more splendid than those in the Chaotic Heavenly Alliance.

“Below us now are the camps for our six special action squads. If you really become a senior alien minister, you will be in contact with their captains. A good relationship with them will make things here easier for you.” Xiao Rong informed him considerately.

Lyu Liang listened carefully and nodded from time to time, keeping all the details in mind.

“Most importantly, there are four places that you are not allowed to enter, unless you get permission from Milord Night Dragon. We call them ‘the four forbidden areas’!” Xiao Rong said in an ever serious tone, “They are respectively Green Vine Village, Purple Cloud Mountain, Divine Auspice Cave, and Shadow Moon Valley. When you become a senior alien minister, you will get a map of this domain. These four places will be marked on it. Be careful not to approach them.”

“Forbidden areas? What is so special about them?” Lyu Liang asked in a casual way.

“It is no good knowing too much. You just need to know that there are some important materials for the war.” Xiao Rong threw a severe stare at Lyu Liang and continued, “If you break in without Milord Night Dragon’s permission, you will definitely be killed!”

“I see!” Hearing what she had said, Lyu Liang thought that the spy of the Calamity Troop was possibly hiding in those places.

After a while, they landed in front of a grand cyan palace. Two gatekeepers, who had the cultivation at the Tao Ancestor Middle-stage, cupped their hands toward Xiao Rong respectfully. Then, they turned to Lyu Liang and invited him in.

“Just go in. I hope that you will still be smiling when you come out,” Xiao Rong said as she pointed at the palace.
