Chapter 244: Chapter 155: Why Not Get Rid of Him?!
’When I get back, I have to remind Zhong Yi not to say anything reckless in front of Lin Zhuo.’
’Lin Zhuo is so oblivious, she doesn’t even know I like her.’
’Besides managing Ghost Suppression Bureau affairs, all she does is browse *Pure Love Poppy*, a BL forum that makes even me blush just looking at it.’
’If Lin Zhuo found out, I’m afraid she’d start shipping me with Ju Jiasu.’
"I’m in Dragonya City this time to protect Xiaoyi, so I’ll skip the drinks."
"The Dragon Soaring Association is about to open. Get us four tickets. We plan on taking a look around."
"So that’s why you’re in Dragonya City right now! You’re here for the Dragon Soaring Association."
"You’ve got good timing. The Dragon Soaring Association opens the day after tomorrow."
"Tickets are no problem. I’ll get you four top-tier Diamond Tickets. They give you priority negotiation and transaction rights for anything you want at the Association."
"Heh heh, I’m a good friend, aren’t I?"
Guo Xing just thought Wen Tao was making an excuse to avoid drinking.
Otherwise, why would a new-generation, S-Level Combat-type Celestial Destiny Seeker coming to Dragonya City need Wen Tao for protection?
Besides, Wen Tao wasn’t even strong enough!
Wen Tao’s Order Beast was only at the Mythical Tier, not yet promoted to the Immortal Tier.
If his Order Beast had advanced a Tier, Wen Tao would have updated his Guardian Beast Master Level at the Celestial Destiny Society.
Even in Dragonya City, he would have known immediately.
Wen Tao was a lightweight who would get red-faced after just three bowls.
He was nothing like Lin Zhuo, who could down bowl after bowl of liquor as if it were watermelon juice.
Guo Xing knew Cui Heng. Wielding the National Treasure, the Blood Bone Great Wall, Cui Heng was famous throughout the entire Xin Xia Federation.
The reason Guo Xing hadn’t recognized Cui Heng since he walked in was that Cui Heng was intentionally disguised.
If Guo Xing had actually recognized Cui Heng, he probably wouldn’t have doubted Wen Tao’s words.
Instead, he would be wondering why Starlight City placed so much importance on this S-Level Combat-type Celestial Destiny Seeker named Zhong Yi that they would send a figure like Elder Cui.
"Four Diamond Tickets is more than generous. I’ll have to trouble you then, Brother Guo."
After chatting idly with Guo Xing for a moment, Wen Tao asked, as if by the way.
"Brother Guo, how has Master Tao En been lately?
"I’m an old acquaintance of Master Tao En’s. Since I’m here in Dragonya City, I was planning to visit him first."
Upon hearing this, the woman who had been standing quietly beside Guo Xing kept her gaze fixed on Wen Tao, but a hint of displeasure colored her features.
"Tao En is only at the level of a Three-finger Creator now. He’s long been unworthy of the title ’Master’."
"My uncle is already a Five-finger Peak Creator!"
"Ah Tao, my uncle is hosting a banquet tomorrow night for the guests from other cities who are here for the Dragon Soaring Association."
"Instead of visiting Tao En, you should come to my uncle’s banquet."
Guo Xing’s brows furrowed sharply when he heard Ju Jiasu’s words.
’Ju Jiasu is usually a sharp person. How does she turn into an idiot whenever Wen Tao is involved?’
Wen Tao had just said he was an acquaintance of Master Tao En, and Ju Jiasu immediately brought up her uncle.
Everyone knew that Tao En and Cao Xing’an were mortal enemies.
If it weren’t for a few old-timers holding him back, Cao Xing’an would have tormented Tao En and his grandchild to death long ago!
Wen Tao had indeed met Tao En, but claiming to be an old acquaintance was just an excuse.
Wen Tao said it to get more information about Tao En from Guo Xing.
Wen Tao disliked Ju Jiasu, but he wasn’t against the idea of attending a banquet hosted by a Five-finger Peak Creator like Cao Xing’an.
There were only five Six-finger Creators in the Xin Xia Federation. Aside from them, the Five-finger Peak Creators stood at the very top of the pyramid.
If you were to compare a Five-finger Peak Creator to someone, it would be to powerhouses like Elder Cui, who wielded a National Treasure like the Blood Bone Great Wall.
Or Celestial Destiny Seekers who had reached the level of the "Three Emperors, Four Venerables, and Five Monarchs."
Otherwise, Wen Tao wouldn’t have used the title "Master" for Five-finger Peak Creators like Tao En and Cao Xing’an.
However, Zhong Yi had come to Dragonya City to treat Tao En.
Wen Tao had witnessed Zhong Yi’s methods in treating the Cloud-Stepping Immortal Leopard and believed Zhong Yi had a chance of healing Tao En’s injuries.
Even if the trauma to Tao En’s soul couldn’t be fully healed, as long as he could be restored to the level of a Five-finger Creator...
...it would be worth the risk of offending a Five-finger Peak Creator like Cao Xing’an to have Zhong Yi take Tao En under his wing and bring him to Starlight City.
Once Zhong Yi took Tao En under his wing, even if Tao En could let go of the feud, Cao Xing’an never would.
And how could Tao En possibly let go of the feud!?
If Tao En had been able to let go of his hatred, then back when Cao Xing’an had repeatedly offered to make peace...
...how could their relationship have deteriorated to such an extent?
’If I’m destined to become Cao Xing’an’s enemy anyway, there’s really no point in attending his banquet.’
"Master Cao Xing’an is inviting friends and old acquaintances to his banquet."
"I have had no prior contact with Master Cao, so it would be inappropriate for me to disturb Master Cao Xing’an at a time like this. We won’t be attending the banquet."
After finishing his words to Ju Jiasu, Wen Tao turned back to Guo Xing.
"Brother Guo, Master Tao En should still be in Dragonya City."
"You probably know his address. Please send it to my Q-Messenger."
From Ju Jiasu’s perspective, she was introducing Wen Tao to her uncle.
It was tantamount to granting Wen Tao a huge favor, yet she never thought he would actually refuse her.
’And on top of that, he insists on visiting that ungrateful old fool, Tao En!’
