Realm of the Night God

When Zhu Rong mentioned Ancheng, the smile on her face involuntarily faded a bit, and her change in expression naturally caught Yang Haoran's eye.

"Hehe, didn't you just say you didn't run into any trouble? Looking at your expression now, it doesn't seem like you haven't encountered any trouble," Yang Haoran said with a smile.

"Although this matter has caused some trouble, I can still handle the current situation, and there's no need to bother the Boss for now. If the situation continues to deteriorate, I'll definitely need the Boss to step in and solve it, after all, my current strength is still far from enough," Zhu Rong said.

"Hehe, no problem, why don't you tell me what kind of trouble it is," Yang Haoran said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Rong informed Yang Haoran of the intelligence she had recently obtained regarding Ancheng.

It turned out that Ancheng had been secretly investigating the situation in Lecheng recently, and had also extended olive branches to some of Lecheng's forces. As long as these forces were willing to help them Ancheng deal with Lecheng, they would receive rich rewards after Ancheng took over Lecheng.

Even if these forces were unwilling to help them Ancheng, as long as they did not help Lecheng, they would still receive a reward, although it would be much less than the former.

Among these forces, some could not resist the temptation and agreed to Ancheng's conditions, but these forces were all eliminated by the Spirit Police.

These forces were not very large, and were only local forces of Lecheng, with limited strength. But if they were gathered together and followed Ancheng's main force, they would still pose a certain threat to the Lecheng Administrative Bureau. Therefore, as soon as Zhu Rong learned of the news, she immediately eliminated these forces to prevent them from launching a sneak attack from behind.

After listening to Zhu Rong's words, Yang Haoran turned his gaze to Master Wu.

"Hehe, didn't our Yin Division receive an invitation from Ancheng?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile.

"Not yet," Master Wu replied respectfully without even thinking.

This kind of thing, if it had happened, Master Wu would not have forgotten it, nor would he have failed to report it to Yang Haoran, so he answered so decisively.

"Oh? Could it be that because I ruined their good deed last time, they burned the olive branch that originally belonged to our Lecheng Yin Division as firewood?" Yang Haoran guessed with a smile on his face.

"Boss, you're too humorous. According to the information I've obtained, the Ancheng Administrative Bureau not only didn't contact the Boss for a detailed discussion, but also didn't contact other major forces. It's not that they don't want to contact, but because they know that without enough sincerity, it's difficult to win over the bosses of the major forces. So they've been preparing all this time."

"During this preparation period, they sent people to persuade our small forces in Lecheng, in order to create trouble for our Lecheng Administrative Bureau and divert our attention. If I haven't analyzed it wrong, they will make a move in the near future, and then the Boss will be able to see the big gift they've prepared for you."

After listening to Zhu Rong's words, Yang Haoran's face showed a curious expression.

"Hehe, what is your basis? Have you planted a spy in the Ancheng Administrative Bureau?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile.

"Of course there are spies, we Lecheng must also have spies planted by Ancheng. My planted spy has a limited identity and position, so the information he can obtain is also limited. I believe the spies Ancheng has planted in our Lecheng are not much different."

"The reason I think they will make a move in the near future is that the small forces in Lecheng have either been incorporated by me or have already been cleaned up by me. And with the gathering of all the major forces in our Administrative Bureau today, they must have learned of this, and if they don't make a move now, they may not have the chance."

Yang Haoran thought about it for a while, and then smiled at Zhu Rong and said, "This time, you're using this opportunity to offer rewards to rally the major forces, just to get ahead of Ancheng, aren't you?"

Zhu Rong nodded and said, "That's right. Even if those two demon hunters hadn't intervened, I was also prepared to go and negotiate with the bosses of the major forces with sincerity, to get them to stand on our Lecheng side as much as possible. But since they've gathered together, it's even better, I can just handle this matter all at once."

Yang Haoran did not respond immediately, but after a moment of silence, he smiled and asked Zhu Rong.

"Hehe, if the conditions offered by the Ancheng Administrative Bureau are far superior to yours, aren't you worried that other forces will turn against you?"

Zhu Rong's face showed a wry smile, with a hint of helplessness.

"Of course, there are concerns in this regard. If it really comes to that, I can only trouble Boss you to step in."

This time, Yang Haoran did not ponder further, but immediately responded.

"No problem, if it really comes to that, then I'll take care of this matter."

After the meeting ended, Yang Haoran had Bai Xue secretly escort Zhu Rong back to the Administrative Bureau, leaving only him and Master Wu in the meeting room.

"Old Wu, how have you recently arranged for Big Brother, Second Brother, and Wu Xiaoxiao?" Yang Haoran asked Master Wu with a smile.

"Big Brother went out with Xiaokang to guide the undead and gather information about spirit masters. Big Brother's strength is still too weak, so I wanted him to gain some improvement by guiding the undead to exchange for pure yin qi. However, he is a newcomer in this area and doesn't know any combat techniques, so I had Xiaokang accompany him to teach him some basics. Xiaokang is very talented in this area and knows more than Big Brother." VisitMyVirtualLibraryEmpire(M_VLEMPYR)formore.

To avoid misunderstanding, Master Wu hurriedly explained.

"Although Big Brother is my son, I haven't given him any special treatment. He only gets the corresponding pure yin qi based on the amount of soul he contributes, just like the other Night Watch members. I can guarantee this with my reputation."

Yang Haoran chuckled and waved his hand, indicating that Master Wu didn't need to continue.

"Old Wu, you're too distant. If I can't even trust you, how could I possibly hand over the Lecheng Yin Division to you? You don't need to guarantee anything in front of me, I have absolute trust in you."

"Thank you, Boss, for your trust. In addition to Big Brother, I've also arranged for Second Brother to go on a mission. That wastrel only knows how to eat, drink, and play, not being diligent. So I gave him some tasks to complete on his own, both to temper his cowardly nature and to help him obtain some pure yin qi to improve his strength."

"Old Wu, you really put a lot of thought into this. But I've heard that Second Brother has changed a lot recently and no longer goes out to cause trouble."

"Hehe, I've kept him busy with tasks, so even if that wastrel wants to go out and cause trouble, he doesn't have the time."

Although Master Wu said this, Yang Haoran could see that he was quite satisfied with Second Brother's recent performance. The disappointment in his eyes had been replaced by a look of contentment.

"Congratulations, Old Wu. You must have been waiting for this day for a long time."

"Hehe, indeed, I've waited for a very long time. I originally thought that even until my death, I might not see this day. Fortunately, the worst-case scenario didn't happen."

Seeing Master Wu's happiness, Yang Haoran felt that he should change his original plan to avoid hurting Master Wu.

He had kept Master Wu behind to have him keep Second Son Wu confined at home until the two demon hunters left. But this approach clearly showed a lack of trust in Second Son Wu. In the past, it wouldn't have been a problem, as even Master Wu himself didn't trust him. However, the situation was different now, so Yang Haoran felt it was necessary to change the plan.

After Master Wu finished speaking, Yang Haoran paused briefly and then continued.

"Xiao Xiao has been with me recently. She's still too young and lacks social experience, so I've had her follow me to learn more."

Yang Haoran nodded in understanding, then said to Master Wu, "Gather the three of them back. I have a plan to implement and want to test their abilities. I'll have an arduous task for one of them."
