Chapter 1163, First Union President
Having answered Sun Wukong's question, Cang Bai felt it was time to retire gracefully, and like a shadow, he vanished from Sun Wukong's sight in an instant.
Thus, Sun Wukong was left all alone in this secluded alley.
"Tsk..."
Sun Wukong checked the time, then left as if nothing had happened.
When Sun Wukong arrived outside the private room, Lu Su had already been waiting for a long time.
The moment Lu Su saw Sun Wukong appear, his initial worries vanished instantly.
He approached with a smile and asked with concern if Sun Wukong was lost.
With the time fast approaching, Sun Wukong was nowhere to be seen, and Lu Su initially wondered if he had been stood up.
He was already thinking in his mind about how to explain the accident to Lou Yishen.
Thankfully, thankfully, thankfully, Sun Wukong hurried here and finally arrived.
“Yes, this place is quite big. I haven’t been here much, so it took me a little while to figure out the way.” Sun Wukong smiled and continued what Lu Su had said.
"It's alright. If you're not familiar with this place, it's easy to get lost. Let's walk and walk, into the private room."
Lu Su laughed heartily and enthusiastically led Sun Wukong into the reserved private room.
As soon as Sun Wukong entered the private room, he saw Lou Yishen enjoying tea.
Sun Wukong was somewhat surprised. The man's face looked young, but his white hair betrayed his age.
Even so, the other person is still not as old as me.
Putting all those random thoughts aside, Sun Wukong immediately switched to business mode.
"This must be Guild Leader Lou of the Snowdrift Guild. I am Sun Wukong. You should have heard Guild Leader Lu Su mention my name before," Sun Wukong said with a smile.
“Indeed, I’ve heard Old Lu mention Mr. Kong’s name.” Lou Yishen stared at Sun Wukong with a smile.
He said with a rather meaningful tone, "However, the name Mr. Kong sounds very familiar..."
"Oh, really? That's my honor." Sun Wukong's smile stiffened slightly.
He thought to himself: This guy seems to be a cunning old fox. I wonder what he's really up to by saying these things.
Lou Yishen's smile widened even more: "Of course!"
"But speaking of this, I can't help but think of Journey to the West. I don't know if Mr. Kong has heard of that story. It's a very popular myth in some small worlds."
"I personally quite like the main character. He's incredibly capable, courageous, and resourceful, just like you, Mr. Kong!"
Standing to the side, Lu Su felt a little dizzy listening to the two talking in riddles.
He never paid attention to the myths and legends of the small world, so he could only describe his ignorance of what Lou Yishen said.
Lou Yishen's sudden mention of this topic was definitely not a sudden thought; there must be some details he hadn't noticed.
What kind of information were they exchanging?
Lu Su instinctively began to analyze the deeper meaning behind the two paintings.
He dared not speak carelessly, lest he get into trouble.
Sun Wukong had no idea that Lu Su beside him was constantly brainstorming, analyzing the shallow probing in his and Lou Yishen's words.
The tentative probe, which ended without going too far, has come to an end.
The group took their seats together.
Then they got down to business.
Lou Yishen's reason for insisting on meeting Sun Wukong was simple: he wanted to deepen his cooperation with Sun Wukong and the Third Guild.
Because the Snowdrift Guild and the Third Guild had previously joined forces to extort a large sum of money from the Pure Guild, making a fortune from it.
Lou Yishen believes that their collaborative model can be applied to other purposes as well.
If we add Sun Wukong to the mix, it's safe to say that almost no one in the entire Heavenly Alliance can stand against them.
The third guild, represented by Lu Su, was naturally delighted with this cooperation.
Because of Sun Wukong's special nature, Lu Su dared not make decisions for Sun Wukong, which is why he actively facilitated a meeting between the two parties after receiving a generous reward.
"...Don't worry, Mr. Kong, as long as you're willing, we will definitely not let you suffer a great loss," Lou Yishen said with a smile.
After listening to Lou Yishen's explanation, Sun Wukong pointed out the inconsistencies:
"Excuse my bluntness, but even without me, if the number one and number three guilds of the Heavenly Dao Alliance joined forces, there would still be no guild that could stop them, right?"
So, what was the reason Lou Yishen insisted on having him join?
Why would he give up a peaceful life and get involved in this kind of thing with Lou Yishen and the others?
Lou Yishen, however, offered his own perspective: "Mr. Kong should be able to guess that the Pure Duke, having suffered a great loss, will not let this go easily. He wouldn't dare to openly do anything to us, but you might not be so sure about Mr. Kong..."
In other words, if Sun Wukong doesn't want to live in constant fear, he'd better cooperate with them. After all, the Snowdrift Guild can provide him with some assistance!
Whether it's useful or not, the Pure Guild has to give face to the Snowdrift Guild to some extent!
"That sounds reasonable..." Sun Wukong nodded in agreement, but that was all; he didn't mean to agree.
"Of course, if Mr. Kong is unwilling, I, Lou Yishen, will not force him, but I still hope that Mr. Kong can join the first formal cooperation between the Snowdrift Guild and the Third Guild."
Lou Yishen knew he couldn't push people too far, so he gave up on pressing them and instead chose a roundabout way to try to persuade Sun Wukong.
Lu Su, who had been holding his tongue for a long time and couldn't find a way to speak, perked up immediately upon hearing this.
He concealed his anticipation, staring intently at Lou Yishen with a serious expression. "What does Chairman Lou mean?"
Lou Yi nodded, then pushed a document in front of Sun Wukong and Lu Su, and calmly said:
"Thanks to the last collaboration, my people have somehow figured out why the Pure Guild acted so arrogantly recently and didn't take the Snowdrift Guild seriously at all."
Upon seeing this, Lu Su first glanced at Sun Wukong, and seeing that Sun Wukong had no reaction, he picked up the documents to examine them.
After quickly glancing at the information inside, Lu Su couldn't help but let out a cold laugh:
"I knew it. Why is the Pure Guild suddenly so unscrupulous, not bothering to hide what they've been doing?"
"So, they obtained the coordinates of a special primordial world!"
Lou Yishen nodded upon hearing this, "That's right! It's said that it's a coordinate of a primordial world that has evolved to the middle or late stage."
Upon hearing this, Lu Su's initial joy froze.
