Chapter Twenty Isn't His Own Son

  As soon as Lin Yun saw the disgusting look on Binghuo Jupan's face, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

  "Now I'm asking you, if you had the chance to be reborn, what would you do?"

  Rebirth?

  Upon hearing this, the Ice Fire Giant Python first showed a hint of joy, but then its face returned to calmness, and it said with some helplessness: "Sir, there's no need for you to comfort me. In this world, how could a deceased Spiritual Beast possibly be reborn?"

  "This you don't need to care about, I just ask you, if given a chance to rebirth, how would you choose?"

  Looking at the adult in front of him, it didn't seem like he was joking. The Ice Fire Giant Python's eyes rolled around and he smiled, saying: "Adult, if you can really let me be reborn, then I will 100% follow you. If you tell me to go up a knife mountain, I absolutely won't dare to go down a fire sea."

  "That's enough, no need to flatter me. You just stay here and wait for the day when I'm in a good mood."

  "Sir, take me with you when you leave, just in case."

  Just as he hadn't finished speaking, Lin Yun's figure had already disappeared into the Sword Prison. As for this time when the Wang family spent money to hire the Dark Assassins organization to come and assassinate him, he was extremely displeased, it could be said that he was extremely displeased. If not for some reason, he would have liked to go kill that turtle grandson Wang Ba right now.

  After the incident with the Dark Hand organization, Lin Yun didn't have the mood to continue sleeping. He quietly got up and left Tianfa Academy. Since crossing over, he hadn't had a chance to properly explore Tianfa City. Taking advantage of this dark night, strolling around the streets wasn't a bad idea either.

  As the largest city in Luoyang County, Tianfa City is among the best in terms of economy and other aspects. Inside Tianfa City, it is extremely prosperous, even at this moment when everything is pitch black, Tianfa City is still filled with flashing lights everywhere.

  Every night, the most famous place in Tianfa City can be said to be the red light district, because this is a man's paradise at night. When dusk falls and night falls, the red light district will transmit a soul-stirring cry, and outside each brothel, a batch of prostitutes with fine waists and seductive dresses will appear, standing outside the building and enthusiastically pulling customers.

  As for these worldly affairs, Lin Yun was not too interested, and he didn't want to return to Tianfa Academy so early either. After some thought, he suddenly remembered a place.

  It's out anyway, so take the opportunity to see what the Long Meng organization's branch looks like. The contact address left by Huan Ying was a place called Qian Lai Ke Zhan Inn. It has to be admitted that if one is not very familiar with Tian Xing City, it would be really hard to find an inn in such a big city.

  After inquiring about the location of Qianlai Inn, Lin Yun spent almost half an hour searching for it and finally found it with great difficulty. However, the inn was already closed at this time, and the surrounding area was also dark and deserted, not even a ghostly figure could be seen.

  Although the inn was closed, it didn't matter, after all, he wasn't there to stay. He walked up and stretched out his right hand to lightly knock on the inn's large door. Before long, with a creak, the inn's door opened, and a head poked out from inside, looking mischievous.

  "Who are you? Anything wrong?"

  Without saying more, Lin Yun directly took out the black token that Huan Ying had given him from his bosom. As soon as he saw the token in the youth's hand, his face lit up with joy and he immediately opened the door, saying: "So it's one of our own, come on in."

  One of us?

  Damn it, if he didn't have to, he wouldn't be willing to join this Dragon Alliance organization, and it's still a behind-the-scenes organization. Everything has to be done secretly, making people feel annoyed. Entering the inn, the man who opened the door just now closed the big gate again and said: "All guests are asleep, are you looking for Lord Phantom?"

  "Is Phantom-sama present?"

  "In this period of time, Phantom-sama has been here all along, and he also instructed you to come find him. He will take you immediately, it's truly enviable that you can be led directly by Phantom-sama."

  Following the man out of the lobby, into a room in the backyard, the man unknowingly pressed some mechanism, and the original stone wall suddenly had an extra stone door. After the two entered the stone door, it closed again.

  "Are you not following Lord Phantom?"

  "I don't have as good fortune as you, don't look at your current status as just a yellow rank one, once you make achievements, I believe your ranking will develop in leaps and bounds. By the way, if you can soar to great heights in the future, be sure to take care of your little brother."

  "I'd like to ask, how is our intelligence agency's ranking divided?"

  "Don't you know?"

  "I don't know," I knew nothing at the time, when I was in the Heavenly Punishment Forest, I didn't even know what had happened, and then I was dragged into the Dragon Alliance Intelligence Organization by a phantom. Until now, except for giving him a broken token and assigning him a task, everything else is unknown, including what kind of organization the Dragon Alliance is.

  "It seems you're new here, so let me tell you, our intelligence organization is the most important one in the Dragon Alliance. Only with our accurate intelligence can other organizations take action. Within our organization, there are four major levels and 36 minor levels, classified by status. The major levels are simple: Heaven, Earth, Mystery, and Yellow. The minor levels range from one to nine stars, like you're just a one-star Yellow level, which is the lowest in the intelligence organization. Our Lord Phantom, on the other hand, is a nine-star Heaven level, the highest existence."

  After listening to the man's words, Lin Yun scolded Phantom fiercely in his heart. He thought that as a yellow-level one-star agent in an intelligence organization, he shouldn't be at the bottom of the hierarchy, but this guy was really too embarrassing. If it weren't for the fact that he himself was an honest person, he would have turned around and left long ago.

  "Brother, don't be discouraged, you can follow Master Phantom and your future prospects will definitely be boundless."

  "I hope so."

  As they spoke, the two had already passed through the narrow corridor and arrived outside a dimly lit secret room.

  "Lord Phantom, Huang-class Number One Lin Yun has something to discuss with you."

  "Come in."

  Hearing the voice coming from inside the secret room, Lin Yun instantly confirmed that the person inside the secret room was 100% Phantom, a formidable strongman with unfathomable strength.

  "Brother, Master Phantom has allowed you to enter, I'll leave first."

  Waiting for the man to leave, Lin Yun didn't continue to stay either, and walked towards the inside of the secret room. As soon as he entered the secret room, his first glance fell on the Phantom sitting behind the table. At this moment, the Phantom was holding a book with unknown content in its hand, appreciating it. The entire secret room was decorated very simply, except for a table and several chairs, there were only a few ink paintings of mountains, water, fish, and insects hanging on the walls.

  "Have you come for something?" The phantom, who was reading a book, gently placed the book on the table and raised his head. His two eyes seemed to be able to see through everything in the world, making Lin Yun's heart feel hairy.

  Lin Yun cleared his throat and said, "Master Phantom, the main reason I came this time is to tell you that I've successfully won over Little Nizi, and next I'll be taking care of the Lord of Heaven's Punishment City. So, I'd like to ask, what exactly do you want me to keep an eye on? Give me a target, otherwise, aimless surveillance like this probably won't yield anything."

  "Alright, put away your petty thoughts. The task I've given you this time has some danger to it, but no risk means no reward. Once you complete the mission, I'll promote your rank to Xuan level. And let me tell you, this time you're monitoring the Lord of Tianfa City, mainly to investigate whether he's secretly colluding with foreign powers."

  Do you often communicate with foreigners?

  Lin Yun knew that the Tian Dong continent was divided into five major blocks, and these five major blocks were occupied by the Five Great Empires. The Tian Fa City where he was located belonged to the Luoyang Prefecture of the Eastern Dragon Empire. The five great empires had been at war for years, fighting for more land. If the lord of Tian Fa City, Sitong, lost the city to a foreign power, there would be no way out but death.

  If it were in the past, he wouldn't care about the life or death of the Lord of Tianfa City. After all, whether this person lives or dies has nothing to do with him? But now the situation is completely different. Now that he has successfully won Ye Mei'er's heart, if Ye Mei'er becomes his wife one day, won't the Lord of Tianfa City become his father-in-law? To kill his own father-in-law with his own hands? Even if he can get past this hurdle in his own heart, how will he face Mei'er in the future?

  "It seems that I can see what's on your mind, young man," said the phantom. "Since I let you pursue the little girl, I've already asked about it. The current lord of Tianfa City has no children under his knees. As for yours, he killed the little girl's whole family and adopted her."

  Shrimp rice?

  When Lin Yun heard the news, he seemed to be shocked. He never thought that Ye Wei'er was not the biological daughter of the Lord of Tianfa City, and there was such a deep hatred between them. If this news were to be known to Wei'er, it's unknown whether she could bear it.

  "Is this information reliable, Lord Phantom?"

  "Hmph, intelligence agency's information is never unreliable. This time you're monitoring this person, be extra careful. Once the evidence is solid, we'll take action immediately. And your little girl can avenge herself personally at that time."

  "Your Excellency Phantom, since you already know he's secretly communicating with foreigners, why don't you just kill him directly?"

  Lin Yun was puzzled by this, but it's worth noting that the Dragon Alliance is working for the Empire, and if they discover someone secretly communicating with a foreign country, they have the right to behead first and report later. In that case, why bother going through the trouble of surveillance and gathering evidence?

  "Kid, if it were that easy, what would we need an intelligence organization for? Remember, everything requires evidence. Only when the evidence is right in front of us can we take action. Otherwise, others will gossip about us to no end. We may not have anything to lose, but the Empire's face absolutely cannot be ignored. Do you understand?"
