Chapter 572: What gives you the right?

Entering temples to offer incense and pray to Bodhisattvas, if there’s no sense of ceremony, then the temple is merely a tourist spot.

But if one must travel a long path up the mountain to see the Bodhisattva, if the incense is not for just anyone to burn, if those around are devout believers, then…

Such a temple truly possesses spiritual significance.

In the past, Luo Wanya had researched it clearly, and today, Luo Wanya had arranged everything in Freemasonry neatly.

So when the three members of Freemasonry walked from Villa 11 to Villa 12, their hearts had already been sublimated, as if on a pilgrimage.

Originally they still had a line of defense in their hearts: they were smart enough, had good academic performances, and strong learning abilities.

But when they thought of the legend about Qing Chen, even their proudest defense was mercilessly shattered.

At this moment, the only thought in the minds of Nangong Yuanyu and others was, this is the most formidable student organization of Time Travelers in Los Angeles City!

Behind the three, Luo Wanya silently watched them go to knock on the door of Villa 12.

One of his men whispered beside him, “Lao Luo, do we really need to cooperate with the Daytime group to such an extent?”

Luo Wanya gave him a sidelong glance and said, “What are you trying to say?”

The subordinate thought for a moment and said, “I mean no other implications, just feeling now we also have cultivation techniques, couldn’t our brothers find a meal anywhere? Why must we serve the Daytime group?”

Luo Wanya laughed, “You’ve only cultivated for a few days and after a few empowerment sessions you think you’ve made it?”

“We have many brothers, and you’ve completed the Grand Circulation and can empower the brothers now, we wouldn’t need the bosses of Daytime anymore,” the subordinate said.

Before the last time travel, Qing Chen had arranged for Nan Gengchen to empower Luo Wanya, boosting him straight to E-Class in one go.

Luo Wanya thoroughly enjoyed the thrill of an upgrade; he himself had never expected that not only would he regain his freedom after his turn of fortune, but he could also become a genuine cultivator.

Now, Luo Wanya, Nan Gengchen, Hu Xiaoniu, Zhang Tianzhen, and Qing Chen all had the capability of empowerment, directly leading to a leap in the power of the entire Daytime security system.

This also caused the security personnel to harbor their little schemes.

Luo Wanya looked at his subordinate, “You’ve been with me not just a day or two, some things still need to be made clear. I serve the Daytime group not because I’m coerced, but willingly. You might all soon advance to E-Class, but have you seen Daytime controlling us?”

“No, those students don’t have any managerial experience,” the subordinate said.

Luo Wanya patted his subordinate’s shoulder and said, “Daytime doesn’t control you, not because they lack managerial experience, but because it would be too easy to eliminate you.”

After some thought, the subordinate suddenly reverted to his earlier way of addressing Luo Wanya, “Big Brother, why are you so utterly devoted to Daytime?”

Luo Wanya paused before answering, “We in the underworld need to maintain loyalty. They saved my life, Luo someone; it’s only right that I repay this debt. Besides, they’re more formidable than you think. That cultivation technique you think just anyone can get? Last time I went to the Inner World, I specifically asked around the black market about various cultivation techniques. What Daytime gave us… that’s orthodox cultivation techniques, and such things in the entire Inner World don’t exceed double digits.”

“Also,” Luo Wanya continued, “We need to urgently start our plans in the Inner World, and develop our families as much as possible. Although it has to be done secretly, we can’t slow down.”

Luo Wanya needed to prove his worth quickly since he had not yet joined the Daytime group.

…

…

The door of Villa 12 opened, and Liu Dezhu smiled at the three visitors, “Please come in.”

Nangong Yuanyu and his companions hesitated at the doorway, “Do you have slippers? Our shoes are a bit dirty.”

“No need,” said Liu Dezhu, “come in.”

Upon entering, Nangong Yuanyu, Qi Duo, and Zhang Lanjin cautiously took seats on the sofa, warily observing their surroundings.

When Hu Xiaoniu and Qing Chen came downstairs, the three immediately stood up as if they were the underlings seeing Corleone in the movie ‘The Godfather’, utterly humble.

Hu Xiaoniu said, “Sorry, something came up this morning, so there was a delay.”

Zhang Lanjin hurriedly said, “No worries at all, these are trivial matters. You should prioritize your urgent matters first.”

Hu Xiaoniu thought there really wasn’t any urgent matter, he was just upstairs being roped into playing Fight the Landlord by Xiao Tongyun.

He didn’t understand why Xiao Tongyun’s mind was so sharp; he and Zhang Tianzhen together couldn’t outsmart her.

The reason they did this was to first create a substantial psychological gap on the part of Freemasonry, making the forthcoming tasks a bit easier to handle.

At this moment, Hu Xiaoniu curiously asked, “May I know what brings you three here today? The countdown for this time travel is only two days, we should quickly get ready for the next one.”

Nangong Yuanyu hesitated a moment then said, “No particular reason, just wanted to express gratitude for the events in Taboo Land location 002; if it weren’t for you, we might have been trapped there.”

Hu Xiaoniu chuckled, “It’s nothing, just a small effort. Even though I am a servant of Qing Zade, he’s not difficult to talk to like other corporate bigwigs.”

“What exactly is Qing Zade’s role within Qing’s Family?” Nan Gengchen asked in front of Qing Chen, inquiring, “I heard from Guo Huchan that he seems to be sent by that Mr. Shadow of Qing’s Family?”

Hu Xiaoniu shook his head: “I’m not very clear about that. Mr. Qing Zade’s work is quite mysterious, and I have not had the chance to get involved. However, although he knows I am a Time Traveler, he has never interfered with anything I do.”

“By the way,” Nan Gengchen thought for a moment and said, “It seems that even the security personnel next door are practicing cultivation. Is this a cultivation method obtained by the Daytime group?”

“Yes,” Qing Chen replied with a smile, “Everyone is advancing quite quickly.”

Nan Gengchen nodded in admiration, “Indeed very quick. It’s only been two months, yet there is already a group of E-Class security personnel…”

In fact, Nan Gengchen’s concept of “quite fast” wasn’t very clear; he thought that those security personnel had been cultivating for two months.

But in reality, they had been cultivating for less than two weeks; even Luo Wanya had gone from being an ordinary person to an E-Class cultivator in just two days.

You see, all cultivators on the Daytime side who have completed the Grand Circulation can receive Empowerment.

Using this method to level up a cultivation team is like a geometric growth model and can even keep up with the speed at which Luo Wanya develops his family members….

Qing Chen didn’t correct Nan Gengchen; he just looked at him and smiled, “I wonder if the Freemasonry has any plans to practice cultivation?”

Nan Gengchen was taken aback for a moment, and the expressions of the three Freemasonry members immediately contorted.

After looking at each other for a few seconds, Nan Gengchen said gravely, “Sorry, we already belong to an organization and can’t join another. To be honest, Freemasonry is actually associated with Qing’s Family too, but the specifics still need to be kept secret. What I can say is that they have been gracious to us and also have methods to control us, so we can’t join other organizations.”

Qing Chen was stunned; he had not expected to elicit their true intentions so quickly.

Probably Nan Gengchen didn’t know that Qing Chen had long been aware that it was Shadow controlling the Freemasonry, and that he was about to take over the control of Freemasonry very soon…

To Nan Gengchen, so-called confidentiality was merely a lonely secret in front of Qing Chen.

At that moment, seeing Nan Gengchen’s conflicted yet sincere expression, Qing Chen wondered what methods that Shadow had used to swiftly and firmly control the Freemasonry.

Qing Chen looked at Nan Gengchen and smiled, “I didn’t mean to ask you all to join Daytime, and besides, the entry threshold for Daytime is set by the boss, who only invites specific individuals. It’s not prone to random expansion.”

Nan Gengchen and the others found nothing wrong with this statement; of course, such a formidable organization should have thresholds!

However, they were puzzled, “Then what did you mean by asking us if we want to cultivate?”

Qing Chen smiled and said, “Our boss in Daytime once indicated that Freemasonry in Los Angeles has enormous potential in the future. Thus, we are willing to set aside organizational differences and impart the method of cultivation to you without any cost, not just to you three but to all members of Freemasonry.”

Nan Gengchen and the others were shocked and moved.

What kind of selfless spirit was this? What kind of angelic boss was this?!

Under Qing Chen’s plan, he was definitely going to take over control of Freemasonry within a month.

If they were to start cultivating only at that time, it would indeed delay things, so it was better to pass on the method now and also garner some gratitude.

Such a group of smart individuals certainly needed to become strong as soon as possible!

But Nan Gengchen hesitated.

He was very aware of the preciousness of the cultivation method, so he always felt that he must be missing some important information.

Everything has a cause and effect; there must be a cause for an effect.

The gracious offer from Daytime to impart the cultivation method without seeking anything in return was exactly lacking a ’cause’.

This was like the common internet situation: “If someone lets you eat a kilo of dirt for a billion dollars, would you agree?”

Not to mention whether it’s about the dirt, in real life, no one genuinely gives away a billion dollars for no reason.

Why would anyone give you that billion dollars?

Nan Gengchen was utterly perplexed…

He looked at Qing Chen and noticed that the latter’s gaze was ‘kind’ to an extreme, affable to the point of making one want to let down their guard, as if he truly had their best interests at heart.

Nan Gengchen pondered for a long time, “Unearned rewards are not taken lightly; our Freemasonry hasn’t done anything beneficial for Daytime before, and accepting such a great gift now truly troubles my conscience. Perhaps… let us do something for Daytime?”

He almost blurted out his earlier thought—why not let us eat a kilo of dirt? Otherwise, we can’t wholeheartedly accept this cultivation method.

Fortunately, he stopped himself in time and didn’t voice it out loud.
