If He Can Go, So Can I

"This is..."

The person who brought the message spoke up.

"It seems that Jiang Clan is taking Li Baimei to a place called 'Huaxia Sect,' which should be the Huaxia Sect we know about."

"It is said that he will be recommended to a powerful figure named Yang Kaizhi."

"The Huaxia Sect... Yang Kaizhi..."

Gu De read it aloud, his eyes narrowing slightly.

He didn't speak, but calmly counted the time before slowly exhaling.

He had only recently learned about the Huaxia Sect; it was a colossal entity even more powerful than the Tai Clan.

It must be said that he did consider it.

However, considering that he was new to the place and hadn't fully gotten to know everything yet, he decided to familiarize himself with everything first before making a selection, and then try his best to get what he wanted.

It was truly unexpected that Jiang Clan had already taken Li Baimei away.

Although I knew that having a powerful backer would help me grow faster, it hasn't been long before my guess has been proven true.

Gu De frowned.

He couldn't quite understand what was so special about Li Baimei that made Jiang Clan Shi go to such great lengths for him.

According to his estimation, Jiang Clan was probably just using Li Baimei's value, and whether she would really give him an important position was hard to say.

Even so, it shows that Li Baimei has value to be exploited.

"Your Majesty, do you think we should join in as well?"

"If Li Baimei can go, then Your Majesty, you can definitely go too."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the other person next to him rolled his eyes at the one who had just spoken and said...

"Since Li Baimei has already gone, wouldn't it be cliché for our Great Emperor to go too? He definitely can't go, right, Great Emperor?"

"You bastard."

Gu De glanced at the second person and said.

"If he can go, so can I!"

After saying that, Gu De stood up and continued.

"Let's go and find out how to get to the Huaxia Sect to find Yang Kaizhi. Let's set off immediately."

Not long after.

One of them gave Gu De a deep look and confirmed it.

"Are you really going? Yang Kaizhi from the Huaxia Sect, I've heard he's a ruthless guy."

Gu De remained calm, but inwardly he sneered.

An old steed in its stall may still aspire to gallop a thousand miles.

He needs ruthless people!

He nodded and then asked.

"What is so special about Yang Kaizhi? And what are his strengths?"

"What makes it unique..."

The man smiled.

"I've heard there are quite a few, although I don't know the details very well myself, but I do know that he has some unique preferences."

"Of course, that's nothing."

"It is said that as long as one can satisfy his preferences, one can obtain the protection of the Huaxia Sect."

How can I satisfy his preferences?

Gu De pressed for an answer.

The man did indeed shake his head and said.

"Our place is still too small; there are many things we don't share with outsiders."

"After all, this is a shortcut. If just anyone knew about it, wouldn't everyone be taking the shortcut?"

However...

The man smiled slightly and said.

"As long as the money is right, and given some time, I can definitely find out some things for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu De waved his hand and said...

"No."

Money? I'm new to this world and have no money to spare.

As for time, where would he find so much time to waste?

This vast outside world is full of opportunities.

It's one thing to not participate, but now that I've decided to, how can I just lag behind?

At that moment, Gu De stood up and said.

"Where is Yang Kaizhi of the Huaxia Sect? Can you point me in the right direction?"

After Li Baimei left, someone else quickly walked in; it was none other than Chu Ping'an.

Before the other party could speak, Chu Ping'an spoke directly.

"What did that person ask you just now?"

The man glanced at Chu Ping'an and then decisively reached out his hand.

"That depends on how much you can offer."

Chu Ping'an didn't waste any words. He immediately took out a storage ring, placed it on the table, pushed it forward, and said...

"We don't have money, but we can use resources to make up the difference. Do you think that's enough?"

The man took the storage ring, and after a moment nodded and said...

"Since you're so sincere, then you naturally deserve to know these things."

"The person you asked about just now was Yang Kaizhi from the Huaxia Sect. From what he said, he wanted to find Yang Kaizhi."

"I know about the Huaxia Sect. But who is Yang Kaizhi? How much do you know about him?"

"This place is small, so our knowledge is limited."

"But everyone knows that this person's cultivation methods are very unorthodox, and he might even lose his life."

"But why exactly? Many people are tight-lipped about it."

"Of course, if you give me a little more, I should be able to help you find out more."

Chu Ping'an did not reply.

At this moment, his attention was completely focused on what the other person had just said, "You could lose your life if you're not careful."

Why has he persisted in following Gu De for so long? It's all so he can create an opportunity to plant the seed of this leek (a metaphor for exploitation).

However, during this time, Gu De was not in any dangerous situation at all; he was entirely exploring, and he was even starting to get a little impatient.

Unexpectedly, after searching high and low, Gu De has chosen to actively challenge such an adventurous place.

This is, undeniably, very gratifying.

Coming to his senses, Chu Ping'an looked at the person in front of him and asked.

"Does he know about these things? Like what you said, that his life might be in danger?"

The man smiled, waved the item Chu Ping'an had just given him, and said.

"That guy is very poor, he's reluctant to spend money, so naturally he wouldn't know."

Chu Ping'an nodded, then got up and left.

On his way to catch up with Gu De, Chu Ping'an looked up at the sky.

The sky was so blue, the sunshine so bright, and everything was so beautiful.

He had a premonition that this trip to the Huaxia Sect might allow him to successfully plant a new seed of exploitation.

Who knows what kind of opportunities this new type of leek will bring?

Of course, he was more concerned about improving the system.

With the enhancement and boost from this system, Li Baimei will inevitably be just one step away from being planted by him.

Speaking of which, Chu Ping'an's expression suddenly changed, and he murmured softly.

"Li Baimei should have already arrived at the Jiang Clan."

"Indeed, the trend of going out is consistent."

"That's good, everyone's out now, saving me the trouble of going back again."
