Shangguan Wei'er's perception disappeared without a trace the moment it touched this young man.
Her face remained calm, but her heart was filled with turmoil.
As Eight-Ring Soul Douluo, Spiritual Power is among the best in the same level. Even if a strong person of Titled Douluo level stands in front of her, it is impossible for her to be completely unable to sense any information.
Unless...
She quietly separated a wisp of Spiritual Power and sent it into the ear of the middle-aged man behind her as a Soul Power sound transmission method.
The man stood silently half a step behind her, his breath restrained and his posture respectful, but the Soul Power fluctuations that occasionally overflowed around his body were as deep as the sea.
He is a Level 9 Soul Engineer, Titled Douluo-level existence of the Imperial Family stationed in the Ordinary Alliance, and he is also the biggest trump card in the hands of Shangguan Wei'er.
Without his presence, I'm afraid it would be difficult for the Ordinary Alliance to cope with the Xishui Alliance's crazy attack this time.
"Can you see any confidence in him? I feel that this young man is a little strange. I can't see through his cultivation level. But the man behind him, although he is only level 63, is already very good at his age and has a good foundation..."
The middle-aged man was silent for a moment, and also responded using Soul Power voice transmission:
"Leader, it's true as you said. Your judgment is very accurate. This person is indeed strange. He is covered by a power that I don't understand. Even I can't see through his cultivation."
"What?!"
Shangguan Wei'er almost lost his temper.
Even Titled Douluo can't see through his cultivation?
The middle-aged man paused and seemed to be organizing his words:
"In this case, I think there are only two possibilities. One is that there is a top strong person behind him, and the method of masking the aura was applied by that strong person for him. The person who can perfectly hide his cultivation in front of Titled Douluo must be at least Super Douluo who is above Level 98, or a hidden master who is good at this."
"Second..."
He paused for a moment and his tone became more cautious:
"His own cultivation level is higher than mine, but this is unlikely. His bone age cannot be more than sixteen years old, so he should be the first type. He has a great background, so please be careful and don't provoke him..."
Shangguan Wei'er's eyelashes trembled.
Even Titled Douluo couldn't see through his cultivation. Who was standing behind this boy who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old?
Mingdu When did such a number one person appear?
She took back Spiritual Power and focused her attention on Lu Ren again.
This time, her eyes were less condescending and more cautious and inquisitive.
"The visitor is a guest, let's take a step to talk."
Her red lips parted slightly, and her voice was still gentle, but the key people around her could hear an unusual solemnity.
The leader rarely speaks in this manner to strangers.
She turned around and walked towards the depths of Corridor, Lu Ren followed her leisurely.
Ji Juechen carried two Evil Soul Master and followed behind them expressionlessly.
After a while, everyone came to a spacious box, which was obviously a place used by Shangguan Wei'er to receive important guests.
The walls are inlaid with wooden wainscoting, and the floor is covered with thick handmade carpets that make no sound when stepped on.
A gleaming crystal soul chandelier hangs in the center of the ceiling, and its soft light illuminates the entire box warmly and elegantly.
There is a large Rosewood long table in the center of the box, with a row of high-backed chairs on both sides, enough to accommodate dozens of people discussing matters at the same time.
Shangguan Wei'er sat down on the main seat, and her bright red dress spread out on the dark seat, like a blooming red flower.
Ye Guyi was standing beside her, hands hanging in front of her, as well-behaved as a kitten that finally returned to its owner.
Behind her, a dozen key people, including Level 9 Soul Engineer, lined up on both sides, like two rows of silent copper and iron walls.
There are dozens of elite disciples of the Ordinary Alliance standing on the left and right sides of the box. Among them, there are more than a dozen of Soul Saint level auras, and the rest are also Soul Master from Soul Emperor and Soul King level.
By setting this scene out, Shangguan Wei'er is sending a silent signal to Lu Ren: This is Ordinary Alliance's territory, and I have enough strength to make you sit down and talk.
Lu Ren had a clear view of all this, and then he made a move that stunned everyone present.
He did not walk to the guest seat and sit down in a proper manner, but walked straight to the sofa, sat down, and then crossed his legs.
His left leg was placed on his right leg, his ankle was dangling slightly, and his posture was as casual as if he was visiting a friend's house.
He leaned his back on the soft sofa cushion, his head lowered slightly, and his eyes fell on the empty coffee table in front of him.
"The way the leader of the Upper Palace treats guests is not very good. Your friends come from afar and you don't even give them tea?"
The atmosphere in the box suddenly became subtle.
Anger appeared on the faces of several skeletons.
A young boy who appeared out of nowhere dared to be so presumptuous in front of the leader of the alliance.
Someone had secretly clenched his fists, waiting for Shangguan Wei'er to give the order before stepping forward to teach this kid what the rules were.
Shangguan Wei'er smiled.
The smile was very faint, with just the corners of her mouth raised slightly by a few millimeters, but there was a touch of aura on her face that was enough to brighten the entire box.
She raised her hand to signal the maid to serve tea, her movements as graceful as a royal concubine greeting an envoy from afar.
"My little friend is so brave."
There was a hint of playfulness in Shangguan Wei'er's tone. Two maids walked into the private room carrying tea trays and placed two cups of tea in front of Lu Ren and Ji Juechen respectively.
The teacup is made of fine bone china, with a mouth as thin as a cicada's wing. The tea soup is green and clear, and a quiet fragrance of tea slowly spreads in the private room.
Ji Juechen did not sit down. He placed the two Evil Soul Masters beside him, then stood behind Lu Ren with Silver-White Long Sword in his arms, as silent as a sculpture, as if he was ready to fight at any time.
He didn't even glance at the tea cup in front of him.
Lu Ren picked up the teacup and took a sip.
The tea has a mellow aroma and a long sweet aftertaste. It is indeed a good tea.
He put down the tea cup, raised his eyes, looked across the coffee table, and landed on the face of Shangguan Wei'er who was sitting in the main seat.
"Little friend, since you dare to bring Evil Soul Master to my Ordinary Alliance, and also make Guyi come back as an exception, you should tell me your purpose, right?"
Shangguan Wei'er's voice was still gentle, and her hands were folded on the table.
"The turmoil over Mingdu in the past two days has been quite big. Xishui Alliance is being hunted all over the city like crazy. Even Aodu Chamber of Commerce has been disabled. I, Ordinary Alliance, have also been affected a lot."
"And you just came to our door at this time, bringing two disabled Soul Saint prisoners with you, wanting to cooperate with me to deal with the Xishui Alliance."
Shangguan Wei'er showed a smile, that smile was meaningful:
"If my information is correct, the source of this turmoil is that someone took down eight strongholds of the forces behind the Xishui Alliance on the same day."
"And in the stronghold, eight Soul Saint elders, more than twenty Soul Emperor protectors, and hundreds of believers all disappeared completely. Not even a complete body could be found. Even the traces on the scene were so clean that it seemed like nothing existed..."
"The reason why Xishui Alliance is crazy is because the existence of that person makes them feel a fatal threat. This person may even possess Martial Soul of Holy Attribute."
She paused, her red lips parted slightly, and said word by word:
"If my guess is correct, that person is you."
The air in the box seemed to freeze at this moment.
Everyone held their breath unconsciously.
The eyes of more than a dozen key people fell on Lu Ren. There were shock, doubt, and disbelief in their eyes, but most of them were disbelief.
A fifteen-year-old boy took away eight Branch Altar and killed eight Soul Saint?
Are you kidding me?
Lu Ren put down the teacup and then spoke:
"It is true that I made Xishui Alliance anxious, so after I heard that Aodu Chamber of Commerce and Ordinary Alliance had been attacked by the Xishui Alliance, I couldn't bear it and came to the leader of the Shanggong Alliance in person to solve your trouble."
"Of course, this is conditional. I can't work for nothing and not get any benefits, right?"
Shangguan Wei'er was startled and felt a little angry.
You also know that you are the cause of this trouble. Ordinary Alliance and Aodu Chamber of Commerce have sucked in so much hatred for you. Both families were tortured to death by the Xishui Alliance.
Now Ordinary Alliance is just right, but you came out at this time and pretended to help solve the problem, and you also wanted benefits?
Although Shangguan Wei'er was very annoyed, he still said honestly about Lu Ren's fear:
"My little friend, I'm quite straightforward. I just don't know what you mean by the benefits you mentioned?"
