Chapter 452: First Meeting With Wan Tiansheng (1)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Night.

Staff Residential District.

Liu Hong's house.

Su Yu had arrived with a smile on his face.

"Teacher, thank you again for giving me this opportunity..."

The moment the door opened, Su Yu started praising Liu Hong repeatedly.

Liu Hong stood there with a smile. Yes. Keep acting. Go on.

After Su Yu was finally done speaking, Liu Hong asked, "Aren't you going to kneel down and thank me as well? That will make this look even more believable."

"Forget it."

Su Yu smiled, "Maybe you have already spoken to the single character faction elders about this. They will be more inclined to believe what you told them before this. Even if I kneel down, it won't really work that well."

Liu Hong smiled. Exactly. The kid had openly announced this visit. He would be in great trouble if he accepted the visit before communicating with the elders.

"Let's talk inside."

Liu Hong invited Su Yu into his house with a smile.

Su Yu stepped in without any hesitation. When he looked around, he saw that Liu Hong's place was still as clean and neat as ever. What was a guy doing living in a house this clean? This Liu Hong was clearly not a good person!

"Take a seat."

Liu Hong asked, "So why are you here?"

"No particular reason. I'm only here to visit you, Teacher."

Su Yu paused to look around before asking, "Teacher, is this conversation being monitored?"

Liu Hong said, "How is that possible?"

Inwardly, Su Yu thought that the more Liu Hong denied it, the more likely that this conversation was being monitored.

Great!

Su Yu smiled, "I'm glad to hear that. Teacher, our cooperation has been very smooth this time. In fact, our previous partnership has been very smooth as well. Through the two jobs, we have broken the spine of the single character faction..."

Liu Hong felt a headache coming. He said, "Stop saying all that, Su Yu. Just be honest and tell me why you're here. If you're really here to get me in trouble, it's pointless. Those elders aren't that stupid. If we were really in cahoots with each other, you would have come in secret instead of announcing your visit openly."

Su Yu smiled, "Teacher, there are only the two of us here. What are you afraid of? The public announcement is merely a diversion. That way, they won't suspect you..."

Inwardly, Liu Hong was rolling his eyes. Did this kid have too much free time in his hands? Was the kid doing all this just to give him some trouble?

With a tired tone, Liu Hong said, "Just go straight to the point and say what you're here for. If you don't have anything else to say, you can leave now."

Su Yu smiled, "Of course I have something to say. You see, I have established a club called the Single Eradication Club. I wish to invite you to the club. Are you interested, Teacher?"

"..."

Liu Hong was speechless. Had this kid gone mad? Or had he gone mad? Single Eradication Club? Was this a fucking joke? Was this kid here so late at night just to play a joke on him?

"I'm being serious." Su Yu solemnly said, "I have really established this club. And I have invited a decent number of people into the club. Oh, don’t worry too much about the name of the club. It isn’t important. I am now here to invite you to the club as well. Are you interested, Teacher?"

"..."

Liu Hong felt like Su Yu was pulling his leg.

Was the kid sick in the head? Establishing a Single Eradication Club before inviting him into the club? What was the meaning of that? And the kid had even openly invited him in front of the elders. He was starting to get confused about what the kid was planning.

"Single Eradication Club...and an invitation for me?" Liu Hong laughed and asked, "So do I gain anything from joining?"

"Of course." Su Yu solemnly said, "We aim to work together with the common purpose of creating a harmonious environment in the academy. We aim to expel all elements that are harmful to cultivation and remove some of the tumors in the academy. That way, the academy will be able to grow stronger and healthier."

Liu Hong was starting to suspect that Su Yu had gone mad. Was this something a mere student could do? Just what exactly was the kid planning? Liu Hong was getting more and more confused.

Su Yu stopped wasting time and put down a voice transmission talisman before saying, "This is your invitation, Teacher. I hope you can take care of me more in the future."

He then stood up and left. Behind Su Yu, Liu Hong blinked his eyes in stupefaction.

Fuck!

What the hell was that?

The kid was only here to give him a talisman and an invitation to the so-called Single Eradication Club? That was all? There was nothing else? His head started hurting. Liu Hong remained seated. After Su Yu left, the door swung open and Elder Sun walked through it. He first looked at the talisman on the table before looking at Liu Hong.

With a gloomy expression, Liu Hong stood up and said, "Elder Sun, I don't know what he's up to. He left after leaving this talisman behind. He claimed that he was here to invite me into the so-called Single Eradication Club. Elder Sun, just what is he trying to do?"

With a wave of his hand, Elder Sun pulled the talisman into his palm. After checking it out, he frowned. The talisman was empty. No information was recorded in it.

He tossed the talisman to Liu Hong and said, "What do you think? He is probably aware that someone else will be here tonight. Did he say all that to scare us?"

After a slight pause, he continued, "Or has he really been successful in recruiting members to this Single Eradication Club?"

"..."

Liu Hong smiled bitterly and said, "Elder Sun, this is most probably his true goal. He aims to make us suspect everyone of being a member of this so-called club. In truth, maybe the club is merely a joke by the kid. We can't take his words seriously."

Liu Hong believed that he had caught on to Su Yu's plan. Su Yu intended to make them doubt everyone in the academy. As for the so-called Single Eradication Club, the club might not even exist. No, wait a minute.

Liu Hong's heart thumped as he thought of a certain possibility. Was it possible that the club really existed? And...that dumb student of his was a member of that club?

After a while, Elder Sun said, "You might be right. He is probably trying to sow confusion among us."

At that moment, the talisman suddenly vibrated.

Liu Hong looked at Elder Sun for an instruction. With a frown, Elder Sun said, "Take a look."

At that, Liu Hong picked the talisman up. That was a uniquely made talisman, allowing the user to send and receive messages from multiple individuals. Currently, a certain message could be seen in the talisman.

"Heaven9: Oh, we have a new member. Welcome, newbie. I am Heaven9. Pick one word between heaven, earth, profound, and yellow before adding a number behind it as your username. Do not use your real name here."

"Earth7: Yeah, it's a new member. There is one extra person on the contact list."

"Earth12: Welcome, newcomer. The goal of the Single Eradication Club is simple. We aim to forge a harmonious environment for cultivation in the academy. Feel free to ask us if you have any questions. Of course, some information can only be purchased with single eradication points."

"..."

Liu Hong had a stupefied expression. He passed the talisman to Elder Sun. After looking at the contents, Elder Sun scanned the talisman. But after a while, he shook his head and said, "I can't trace them. This is a modified talisman. Unless we can get everyone in the capital city to stop using voice transmissions, I won't be able to trace the source of these messages."

With a look of disbelief, Liu Hong asked, "Elder Sun...is...this real?"

So many people had appeared out of nowhere! What was this? Just what was going on? Even Liu Hong was starting to get confused.

Elder Sun frowned and said, "Is this organization real? I have never heard of it. Is this a diversion by Su Yu to keep us occupied with something imaginary?"

Liu Hong shook his head. He had no answer to that. Suddenly, the academy felt a lot more complicated than before.

"Use a fake name and join them. Pay close attention to them and try to find something out from their communication. Also, keep me updated on what you find."

Elder Sun was also having a headache. Previously, he had assumed that the club was not real. But after reading the messages in the talisman, he wasn't so sure anymore. Just what was going on exactly? Was there really such an organization in the academy?

Single Eradication Club?

Was this Su Yu's smokescreen or was this real? But it felt more like a lie. Why would that kid openly come and give Liu Hong this talisman otherwise?

One Mountainsea and one Skysoar were greatly troubled by a mere Su Yu.

Before long, Elder Sun calmly said, "It doesn't matter if this club is real or not. Just pay some attention to it. You don't even need to put all your energy into it. Su Yu might be under someone else's order to shift our attention away. A lot of people are secretly unhappy with us. But what can they do?"

"Elder Sun, why don't you keep this talisman..."

The talisman was a hot potato. Liu Hong did not want to keep it with him.

Elder Sun frowned and said, "Keep it. I'm too busy to pay attention to it. We don't want to miss out on any information that might be important. Also, don't tell anyone about this. We don't want the others to panic."

If the other members of the single character faction find out about the Single Eradication Club, chaos might arise. And they couldn't afford to allow something like that to happen. Elder Sun's head was aching badly. Nothing had been smooth for them recently.

Liu Hong smiled bitterly and said, "Fine, Elder Sun. But you need to be my witness. I have not joined the Single Eradication Club. Also, we don't even know if this club is real."

"Don't worry. I'm not that stupid."

Elder Sun placated Liu Hong. There was no need to suspect anyone because of something like this. But inwardly, he was actually slightly suspicious of this. Was there really such a club in the academy? And was there a secret group of individuals working against them? But he wouldn't say that out loud. That would be creating more trouble for himself.
