Chapter 279: Chapter 185: Meeting 2
"Old Li, who’s this?"
"Didn’t you used to bring your son to these meetings?"
Sun Tao glanced at Su Xing.
Though the equipment obscured Su Xing’s features, he could still tell from his general build and presence that he was different from Li Yu.
It was perfectly normal for Li Longxuan to bring his son, but bringing an outsider this time was rather surprising to Sun Tao.
"Haha, things have been busy in Cang City recently, and Li Yu is swamped. So, I brought a junior from the organization to let him broaden his horizons."
The words came easily to Li Longxuan. He knew what Su Xing was thinking and certainly wouldn’t reveal the truth about their relationship, so he fabricated a lie.
"Greetings, Elder Sun."
Su Xing said very respectfully.
Modu was a megalopolis second only to the Imperial Capital City. For a man to be in charge of the entire Modu Organization, he must possess Extraordinary strength. A man like that was naturally an old friend of Li Longxuan, so Su Xing treated him with sincerity.
"Hehe, this junior from your organization is no simple character. For Li Longxuan to bring you here means you have immense potential for growth."
Sun Tao said with a smile.
He was no fool. Li Longxuan wouldn’t bring some random person to such an important meeting. It could only mean that this unidentified young man possessed incredible talent and had earned Li Longxuan’s deep trust.
It’s just...
Sun Tao thought for a long while, but he couldn’t think of any Extraordinary Being from the Cang City special organization who fit this description.
The only one who might fit was Su Yu, who had been quite famous before. However, according to the information he’d gathered, Su Yu was only a Tier 4 Sequencer.
Even if his sequence ranking was high,
he wasn’t necessarily more powerful than his own organization’s prodigies.
"I was just lucky."
Of course, Su Xing had no idea what the other man was thinking. He just smiled and replied politely.
"It’s good for a young man to be humble, but being overly humble is another matter." Sun Tao grinned, his tone half-serious and half-joking. "If you run into prejudiced people, they’ll think you’re not being sincere."
...
’Prejudiced?’
’As long as I’m strong enough,’
’who would dare show their prejudice to my face?’
But Su Xing didn’t say this out loud. The man was, after all, an acquaintance of Elder Li, and he himself was just a junior. So, he replied with earnest respect:
"That makes sense."
"I’ll be more mindful in the future."
"Hehe, I was just speaking casually. Don’t take it to heart." Sun Tao chuckled and continued, "In the future, if you have the chance, you should come visit us in Modu. Let our Extraordinary Beings in Modu see the caliber of Cang City’s Extraordinary Beings."
...
"Old Sun."
Li Longxuan couldn’t help but interject when he heard this.
However, seeing Li Longxuan about to speak, Sun Tao immediately waved his hand and said:
"I mean well. Extraordinary Beings need to interact with each other to improve, right?"
That last "right?" was clearly directed at Su Xing, who was standing to the side. This caught Su Xing off guard. He instinctively glanced at Li Longxuan, unsure how to respond since he wasn’t actually a member of the special organization.
Seeing Li Longxuan give a faint nod, Su Xing then nodded back at the man and said:
"If the opportunity arises, I will definitely be there."
"Good."
"I’ll welcome you then, my young friend."
Having received a definite answer, Sun Tao’s face suddenly bloomed with a brilliant smile, like a chrysanthemum. He then cupped his fists to say his farewell:
"It’s getting late. I’ll take my leave."
As his words fell,
Sun Tao’s figure vanished.
Immediately after, Li Longxuan let out a slightly helpless sigh.
He knew.
Sun Tao was an extremely competitive person.
Even though he had gone to Modu, he was still from Cang City at heart, and thus Li Longxuan had left an indelible impression on him.
However,
while others admired Li Longxuan,
he tried every means possible to defeat Li Longxuan fair and square.
But he was seriously injured.
In terms of actual combat ability, there was no way he could ever beat Li Longxuan.
Therefore, he had come up with the idea of having the genius Extraordinary Beings from his organization fight against Li Longxuan’s genius Extraordinary Beings to achieve victory.
Previously, Li Longxuan had always sent Li Yu to deal with it, and their results were a mixed bag of wins and losses.
Now, Li Longxuan had brought Su Xing, a completely new face to Sun Tao, which naturally stoked his competitive spirit once more.
It’s just...
’This little guy I’ve brought with me...’
’He’s really not someone the younger generation can handle.’
’Perhaps,’
’by the time he goes to Modu,’
’all the Extraordinary Beings in Modu combined might not be a match for this little guy.’
This was precisely the reason for Li Longxuan’s sigh.
This time, Sun Tao had really picked a fight with someone he couldn’t possibly handle.
"Elder Li... you should know I’m not a member of the special organization. I can’t really get involved in this sort of thing."
Su Xing said with a moment’s hesitation.
"Of course I know that."
Li Longxuan nodded and said:
"You’re not a member of the special organization now, but that doesn’t mean you’ll never join. If you’re still interested in these matters in the future, then you can decide for yourself."
...
It felt as if Li Longxuan had said something and nothing at all. The only thing that was certain was that Li Longxuan seemed very sure that he would join the special organization in the future.
But,
’Why?’
’Why is Li Longxuan so certain?’
’Oh, well.’
’There’s no point in overthinking it.’
Su Xing shook his head, glanced at Li Longxuan who was still standing there, and asked, "Are we done?"
"Yes."
"You should have a basic impression of the other regions’ special organizations now. Although your identity wasn’t revealed, the other organizations now know I have a new genius by my side. We can indeed leave now."
As his words fell,
Su Xing and Li Longxuan’s figures instantly vanished from the Virtual Space.
...
「Modu.」
The young man beside Sun Tao couldn’t help but ask, "Elder Sun, even though that person was brought by Elder Li, was it really necessary to be so polite to him?"
This was Zhou Yuantong, the most talented and youngest Extraordinary Being in the Modu Organization.
The one in charge of the Modu Organization—
this status could only be described as extremely high.
Therefore, Zhou Yuantong had rarely seen his leader be so courteous to anyone, which was why he was so surprised.
Li Longxuan,
was indeed a very famous figure.
But it shouldn’t have been enough to make the leader of Modu act this way.
Because,
Sun Tao had taken him to meet many people, and while he was always polite, he had never used such a tone with a junior like he had today.
"It has nothing to do with Li Longxuan."
Sun Tao said, his expression a mixture of shock and admiration:
"Li Longxuan is a monster in his own right, but I never expected him to take on a genius who’s even more of a monster."
Because of his injuries,
Sun Tao was more sensitive to bodies with dense Qi and Blood.
Therefore,
before he even got close to Su Xing,
he had suspected the young man might be Su Yu.
However,
the moment he got near Su Xing, he immediately dismissed the thought.
Su Yu was a Sequencer, and his sequence had nothing to do with physical strength. But this young man’s physical body was so powerful it was like an indestructible wall, standing for all eternity.
’He’s a Martial Artist,’
’and a Martial Artist of a high realm at that.’
Sun Tao immediately came to this conclusion, which made him feel a little excited. He believed that a true genius—the kind of genius he had cultivated—could only be highlighted by being pitted against another genius of the same caliber.
"Go tell Ye Fei that his rival may have just appeared."
Sun Tao said.
Hearing the name Sun Tao mentioned, the young man was stunned. He then immediately realized what kind of status that person held in Sun Tao’s eyes and quickly said:
"Yes, sir!"
"Oh, right."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Sun Tao added:
"If he comes to Modu in the future, Ye Fei might not necessarily win in a fight against him. I know Ye Fei’s personality very well; if he loses, he definitely won’t get along with the guy. You all need to build a good relationship with this young man. You absolutely must not make an enemy of him. Understand?"
...
"Yes, sir."
