"Leader Ya'en, I think our next friendly cooperation can begin now!"
"Oh?"
A sharp glint flashed through Ya'en's eyes. The Yin-Yang Emperor had already told him that Sima Hao wanted to cooperate with them again, but he had not expected it to happen so soon.
"Is Patriarch Abe referring to that SSS-rank genius? What, have you already made the arrangements?"
Ya'en looked curiously at Sima Hao, his tone carrying faint anticipation. He was deeply interested in Lin Yu, who had ruined their plans.
"He is already at Sakura Martial University. As for the arrangements, didn't I come here today specifically to discuss them with you?"
"Hmm?"
Ya'en and the Yin-Yang Emperor's eyes lit up at once. They immediately sat upright, their gazes fixed tightly on the smiling Sima Hao. After a moment, Ya'en's booming laughter rang out.
"Hahaha... As expected of the former light of the Federation. Having an ally like you truly is fortunate!"
"You flatter me, Leader Ya'en."
Sima Hao was unmoved by Ya'en's words. To him, such words had no practical meaning whatsoever.
"Leader Ya'en, I believe we can now discuss our operation. Don't you agree?"
"Haha... Indeed! Patriarch Abe, go ahead!"
With a light wave of Ya'en's hand, a chair appeared out of thin air before Sima Hao. Sima Hao did not stand on ceremony and sat down.
"Leader Ya'en..."
Sima Hao roughly explained the situation, then voiced his speculation. After hearing it, Ya'en and the Yin-Yang Emperor silently agreed with his assessment.
"Leader Ya'en, I have an idea!"
At the end, Sima Hao looked at the two of them and spoke softly. This was the true purpose of his visit.
"Oh? Go on."
Ya'en watched Sima Hao curiously. Ya'en held special regard for this man who had once stirred up the Federation's Wind and Cloud.
