"What do you think of this story, Mr. Dai?"

Dai Yunkai's smile vanished, replaced by an unusually serious expression. "Some things aren't what you think..."

Xu Fu did not let him continue.

“I’m results-oriented. I don’t care what happens in the process. All I know is that this incident almost destroyed the Xiao family.”

Dai Yunkai shook his head inwardly; the message was clear enough.

It seems we can't be friends anymore.

friend?

Xu Fu laughed out loud: "A friend is paying for it. The red car is nice, but it's not worth it for me."

Dai Yunkai's heart trembled slightly, and he blurted out.

"I want to know what you want?"

"To be honest, you don't have what I need."

Where is Xie Tianshi?

Xu Fu shook his head, picked up the teapot and poured boiling water into the cup. The dried leaves soaked in the hot water, and their fragrance involuntarily wafted out.

Dai Yunkai couldn't understand the other person's true thoughts, so he could only say it half-jokingly.

"Mr. Xiao doesn't seem like a twenty-year-old at all. His words are full of Zen-like wisdom, which is a headache."

"It seems you have a headache. The tea is ready. Why don't you introduce yourself?"

“Watch me.” Dai Yunkai slapped his forehead: “I was so nervous that I completely forgot my manners. I’m sorry.” With that, he took out his real business card and placed it on the table: “Let me formally introduce myself. I am Dai Yunkai, liaison officer.”

Xu Fu asked casually, picking up his teacup and placing it on his heel.

"I remember there was a guy named Li Qun in your area. What's your relationship with him?"

Dai Yunkai tensed up, utterly shocked by Xu Fu's intelligence network. Elder Li's identity was rarely known to outsiders. His mind was racing, and he could only respond in the most ordinary way possible:

He is my boss.

That's how it is.

Xu Fu began to drink tea, and Dai Yunkai also picked up a teacup. The aroma of tea filled his mouth, but he couldn't taste any flavor. Before coming, he was full of confidence, but during the conversation, he was controlled by others at every turn.

As expected of the legendary Young Master Xiao, he's a real headache.

Dai Yunkai didn't want to be controlled by the person he was talking to, so he simply changed the subject.

"The competition is tomorrow. Young Master Xiao, do you think Zhang Ajiu will win, or Daozong?"

"The Daoist sect!"

Dai Yunkai couldn't help but ask, "You mean Zhang Jiu will lose?"

"Yes"

Dai Yunkai was increasingly puzzled: "If I remember correctly, this was the first time Zhang Aijiu brought up this match. Knowing that we would lose, why did he still bring it up?"

He didn't say Xu Fu's name, but changed it to "nine" instead, which was a very clever move.

Xu Fu shook his head: "It's not that Zhu Di will lose, but that the Dao Sect can't afford to lose, unless you want to help."

Chapter 1436 The Final Battle

Although he had a wealth of information about George Bernard Shaw and a complete understanding of his behavior, manners, and personality traits, Dai Yunkai still felt immense pressure and couldn't calm down for a long time when facing a real person.

He simply couldn't understand the other party's intentions.

"Mr. Xiao, you're joking. You want our help? What help could we possibly be?"

Xu Fu looked at him and said in a calm tone

"Weren't you helping?"

"Your Honor seems to have made no mistake."

Xu Fu chuckled twice, picked up his teacup and took a sip. "There are some things you should just keep to yourself; there's no need to say them out loud."

Calling Zhang Ajiu was actually a feint, breaking some traditions inherited from the Dragon Kingdom. Xu Fu had made preparations for the unexpected in order for the plan to proceed smoothly, but he did not expect that after waiting for a long time, no one would come to him for a social engagement.

He wasn't stupid; how could he not understand that he and Zhang Ajiu had become weapons used to fight against the two major scourges of the ancient martial arts world and the Taoist sect?

Realizing this, Xu Fu revealed a sly smile.

This world is so interesting. He never used others as weapons, and never thought that one day he himself would become a weapon.

"Mr. Dai, is there anything else?" "If not, please leave. I still have work to do."

"Then I won't bother you anymore."

Although Dai Yunkai was reluctant to leave, he had no choice but to get up and take his leave. Xu Fu pointed to the wooden box on the table and said...

"Take it away. The big red robe bowl doesn't suit my taste, and keeping it would be a waste."

"It's nothing, Mr. Xiao, you're welcome."

Xu Fu shook his head: "If you take someone else's money, you have to take on their responsibilities. I can't do your business, so naturally I can't take anything. I understand that much. Take it. If I let you stay, I'll have to find another hotel."

Dai Yunkai frowned, remained silent for a moment, then took the wooden box and, escorted by security personnel, turned and left the hotel, returning to the car he had come in.

Upon seeing him, Qi Jianqiu hurriedly asked.

"Yes, it worked."

"This is not the place to talk."

Cars start and stop in the factory's warehouse.

Qi Jianqiu repeated: It didn't work?

Dai Yunkai shook his head silently. Seeing this, Qi Jianqiu couldn't help but sigh.

"I knew it wouldn't be that simple. How will the other party react?"

He said Zhang Ajiu would lose tomorrow's match.

Qi Jianqiu was stunned: "What do you mean? Lost? After putting in so much effort, he still lost? Has he gone mad or is he stupid?"

"I think this might be a form of revenge."

Qi Jianqiu became increasingly confused: "Who is he taking revenge on? Who has offended him?"

Dai Yunkai pointed upwards, and Qi Jianqiu immediately understood everything, his anger flaring up.

“That kid is just unreasonable. He caused all this trouble. Nobody forced him. The people mentioned earlier were just adding fuel to the fire. He is also very petty.”

"Xu Fu-Xiao is a very intelligent man. The only thing these kinds of people have in common is arrogance. You can't judge them by common sense. Besides, he only said he might lose, he didn't draw any conclusions. Let's see how things go tomorrow."

What if we lose?

"Then he won't get the Celestial Master Plan, and I don't think he'll act so impulsively."

Qi Jianqiu was speechless for a moment.

"You have to deal with this kind of person."

...

Night fell quickly, and the decisive battle was about to begin.

Xu Fu, along with Linda, Ajiu, and a group of bodyguards, arrived at the foot of Longhu Mountain on time. This duel was somewhat special; it wasn't publicly organized, and there weren't many people present—only a little over three hundred, including a few famous martial arts figures, a few reporters, and the rest were Taoist practitioners.

Dirk carried the box in both hands, walked to the stone table at the top, carefully placed the box on the ground, and said with unusual seriousness.

"The Tiger's Roar and the Dragon's Cry contain profound meaning."

"If Zhu Di loses, all the gate plaques will be returned, and the 'True Tiger Demon Scripture' will be returned to the Taoist sect."

After he finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on the box, and many people's greedy eyes opened wide: During this period, the "True Tiger Fiend Scripture" has become the dream of all martial artists, just like the Celestial Master's Grand Ceremony in the Taoist sect.

This is a priceless treasure that can change one's destiny. Whoever obtains it will be able to pass through the Dragon Gate and ascend the Heavenly Ladder.

Thinking of this technique, many Taoists also showed some impatience. Although Taoist classics are good, the speed of cultivation is a big problem. Without twenty years of hard work, it is difficult to achieve anything. The Tiger Fiend Scripture is different. It is a quick way to achieve success. Jia Jiuzhang became invincible after only one month of cultivation. How can such speed not make people envious?

Dirk has already made his statement; now it's up to Dougman to decide.

An elderly Taoist priest in his forties stepped out from the crowd, holding a sandalwood box in his hands. In an instant, everyone's attention was drawn to the box.

Celestial Master Ceremony!

The ultimate treasure of the Tao

Things that exist in legends are all products of reality.

Everyone held their breath and stared intently at the wooden box. If they had discerning eyes, they would have immediately figured out what was inside.

A middle-aged Taoist priest spoke up.

"...The Celestial Master's plan is in the box. If we lose this battle, the Taoist sect will definitely fulfill the corresponding conditions according to the bet."

He didn't elaborate, clearly leaving room for maneuver: the Taoist sect holds the highest status, and if they were to acknowledge a fifteen-year-old boy as a war god, they would lose all face.

Two strange books were placed side by side on the table, catching the eye.

Linda said in a low voice.
