Wang Zheng was momentarily stunned. It seemed like that was the problem. Perhaps subconsciously, he did not want to make things difficult for Snow Li, or maybe he was afraid to leave something behind.
“Snow was originally a member of Saruman Snake. Initially, she went over to help because the Icefire battle team had difficulties. Now that there is no formal competition, she ought to come back. You are making an unnecessary move and also a long-winded one.”
Ai Xiaolu criticized Wang Zheng fiercely, because at this moment, she had the same feelings as Snow Li. Sometimes, people would be obsessed with one person. There were plenty of other fish in the sea, so why love a single flower!
“Yes, Xiaolu, you really have a different perspective. Alright, I’ll go find Snow now.”
All along, when Wang Zheng thought of what to do, he would do it immediately. He dialed Snow Li’s Skylink right away. Snow Li was training at this moment. Although her Skylink rang, it still did not affect her at all. Lasers fired out continuously. Actually, when she was not in the Saruman Snake battle team, she was less stressed. She could be calmer and train and learn better. As snipers, it was not enough just to hit accurately. During this period of time, she had gained a lot and she became more focused.
Wang Zheng did not get through for a long time… Could it be that Snow Li was angry?
Wang Zheng scratched his head. Girls were complicated.
Just then, his Skylink rang. Snow Li had dialed back. “Wang Zheng, I was training just now, what’s the matter?”
“The Saruman Snake battle team needs you. Can you come back?” Wang Zheng asked tentatively. He did not feel confident in his chances of success.
In the Skylink, Snow Li smiled brightly. “OK.”
Classmate Wang was also stunned. Sometimes, there would be unexpected gains using the most direct way.
In the whole incident, the most important thing was his attitude. It would be best if Wang Zheng could solve the problem. This way, it would save the trouble for the people involved. But if you met someone like Rennes who took a chicken feather as a warrant to issue orders, then it would be another matter.
After all, the willingness of the team members was more important. Not to mention that this was not a departure with ill intentions. She was originally from Saruman Snake, and now it was for SIG, the big goal. If Rennes really wanted to stop them, or even used some nonsensical reason, he would not need to stay in Elite Academy X anymore. Where would there be people who disliked their schoolmates so much?
Ai Xiaolu had already seen through this point. She only deliberately hinted to Wang Zheng. This guy always looked at women as men, but he did not know that what women cared about was his attitude, and it had nothing to do with other things.
What a fool!
At this time, the fool Classmate Wang Zheng finally heaved a sigh of relief. The formation looked presentable now. They only needed to strengthen their teamwork, and then the problem would be much smaller. If it was really impossible, as the team leader, he was not a man to be trifled with!
Far away on Mars, the Sage Sect’s bell sounded.
Distinguished guests arrived and the Saint Mountain opened up. A grand-looking motorcade stopped at the gates. A very thin old man stood out.
The bell rang nine times before it stopped, representing the visitor’s respectable identity.
The corners of the old man’s mouth curled up slightly into a smile. Although he was very old, you could still see that he was definitely very handsome in the past, and now he was also a good-looking old man.
In front of the gates, nine disciples of the Sage Sect dressed in red robes came down from the hill in a single file and lined up on both sides. The eldest disciple went forward and greeted with his palms together, “Respecting the Sage’s orders, we are here to invite our distinguished guest up the mountain.”
The old man nodded slightly. Behind him, more than a dozen bodyguards were about to move, but with one look, they retreated. He refused the Maglev vehicle provided by the Sage Sect and walked up the stairs step by step.
Several disciples of the Sage Sect did not look good, but they dared not say anything, so they could only follow behind and guard carefully.
Halfway through the journey, they saw the Sage standing on the mountainside.
The nine disciples looked even more uncomfortable. According to the rules, they should have taken the distinguished guest to the meeting hall to see Master Sage.
“You may leave now.”
Odin waved to his disciples.
For some time, the two elders stood at the top and bottom of the stairs looking at each other. The wind was blowing. The leaves and also the corners of their clothes waved.
“It has been so many years and the Sage’s traditions remain old and strong.”
“The head of the Heavenly King family is also quite the remarkable one.”
Ha ha ha…
They forced a few laughs. Suddenly, the mountain wind stopped. The chirping of birds and cries of insects stopped instantaneously too, as if time and space were frozen.
Up and down, two bursts of terrifying auras clashed lightly. and then quickly withdrew.
The wind started blowing again, but the birds and insects flew away in terror.
“Old thing, I let you ride in the car. You just had to climb up the steps. Do you have the intention to join my Sage Sect?”
“Old swindler, your words are still so poisonous; are you not afraid that they will shorten your life?”
If the people from the Sage Sect and the Doyle family saw what they were like now, they would surely be stunned and bewildered.
Was this person who was making a joke really Odin?
Was this person with an old face full of arrogance really the family head of the Doyle family?
Of course, it was just for that moment. The past was gone, they were not young anymore, and their grievances were also gone with the breeze and river flow.
Inside the pavilion on the mountainside, tea was already prepared. The two elders sat and tasted the tea silently.
The water was from the Zhong Ru spring at the top of the Sage Mountain. The tea was the newly picked Martian Rock tea.
Three cups of tea, reminiscing old times.
In the end, the family head of the Doyle family spoke first.
“It’s rare for you to come down to greet me, so I’ll just go straight to the point. After all these years, those people finally cannot stand loneliness and want to make some moves. I’m not going to meddle in this muddy water anymore.”
Old Doyle did not waste time and directly pointed out his intentions. The dark ways of the underworld were not suitable for the Doyle family’s strategy. It was even more unsuitable for Achilles’s character and development. This was their nature. People who walked different paths could not make plans together.
And the attitude of the Sage Sect was also very firm. Even hundreds of years ago, when those people ruled the human beings, when they were the strongest, the Sage Sect still maintained their independence, let alone now.
It was once the brightest light, now it became the shadows of the underworld. The Sage Sect could not tolerate this shadow. Based on the character of the Lie family, they could not stand this kind of constraint either.
In this situation, the Sage Sect and the Heavenly King family that were originally on different paths had the basis to reach a consensus now. They did not want to see the Solar System invaded by those people. Under the control of those people, the reviving Solar System would only become a tool to fight against the Milky Way Alliance, or even a sacrifice. No matter Mars or the Moon, they did not want to see this situation. These were their homes!
The conversation between the two became more and more intense, involving the core interests of both sides. Even if they reached a consensus, they could not cooperate completely. And only the two of them had that influence to discuss on behalf of the two powers. Both held high positions for very long and had extraordinary abilities. When they were not willing to give in, the energy that burst out made the surroundings of the pavilion a forbidden area. Not to mention the small animals on the ground, even the insects and ants under the ground were fleeing in a hurry.
Towards evening, they finally reached a consensus on the core interests. They stood up and saw a huge, red sun setting down towards the horizon, as if it was a sign.
Old Doyle’s gaze was fixed. The sun set, the darkness was coming; the era that belonged to them would also fall.
Nevertheless, it was gratifying to note that their successors were better than they were at that time. To be honest, even if there was a basis to reach a consensus, one of the important reasons for the Doyle family and the Sage Sect to reach an agreement in just a short afternoon was that Achilles and Lie Xin were on the same front. They would be the suns of the new era, and they, the older generation, would be the gentle winds that rose with the sun.
It was only at their experience and age that it became clearer that youth was both strength and the future.
“Old swindler, you really don’t see anything? I heard you rang twelve bells for that little devil.”
Old Doyle looked back and stared at Odin. Even if it was him, it was only nine times, which was already extremely respectable. At that time, Wang Zheng was nothing; IG did not even look at him, let alone the behind-the-scenes support provided by Ye Bingwen, the KO Group, and Titatitan Star. Yet Odin had reacted at that time, a full twelve bells, and no one could bear twelve bells!
The reason he called him “old swindler” was because when they were young, they were competitors like frenemies. Old Doyle actually did not believe in Odin’s identity as a Sage. It would be boasting to say that you could see through everything, but it was possible that he could see segments of the future. The reason why the Sage Sect could be passed down to this day, and why Mars was always powerful. was because on many important matters, the Sage Sect always had the feeling that they could foretell things and walk in front of others.
“Fate between people comes and goes; it flows like water, and never returns. In the end, only memories are left. ”
With a sigh, Odin looked at the last glimmer on the horizon and uttered the prophecy he had left behind for Wang Zheng.
There was a flash in Old Doyle’s eyes. As a younger generation, Wang Zheng could not understand the words he said, but he understood it. He murmured, “Maybe you can give Ye Bingwen a push. It’s not harmful to push him forward a bit, and it would make the job easier for the little guys.”
“My Sage Sect is an outsider who has long vowed to remain neutral and will not to participate in the affairs of the Solar System,” Odin said solemnly.
Old Doyle’s mouth twitched. Od fox!
So old and still so shameless!
That was the good point for the swindler. He could always find some high-sounding reasons to act shamelessly.
The former Saint Church, the current Saint Sect, wanted to make a comeback and control the powers in daylight. Yet the Milky Way Alliance was verbose and inefficient, so much so that they were permeated so comprehensively that they could keep no secrets.
Mars… Even the entire Solar System that wanted to rise again in this era was like a small fish trying to free itself from sharks.
Fate was temptation, and temptation was bait. A story of a tiger eating humans spread widely on Mars. In the wilderness, there was once a mutant tiger which loved to eat people. No blade and spear could pierce through it. Warriors often gathered to slaughter the tiger as proof of their bravery. Every team would bring a fat man with them because everyone knew that the tiger would only eat one person at a time. As long as they ran faster than the fat man, and did not look as delicious as the fat man, they could survive.
Whether it was the Sage Sect or the Heavenly King family, how deep was their bases after managing it for nearly a thousand years. Perhaps only these two leaders knew clearly.
However, good steel must be used wisely as some things would be gone after one use. It was not wise to have a head-on clash with the Saint Sect, who was making a comeback. It was better to let someone take the lead, test the waters, and find out the determination and reaction of those people before making a decision.
Emotions were emotions; the overall situation was the most important. They had always distinguished these two clearly, only youngsters would lump them together.
This was called remaining invincible.
