Chapter 557: Chapter 337 World Tree… Flicker!

“I want to ask…”

“You just mentioned The Hustlers Sect… right?”

After Simon said this,

Bai Yilin, Lin Jiangzhi, and their two companions, if their thoughts could be visualized, would probably have had a [?] bubble pop up above their heads.

They fell silent, momentarily befuddled.

Shandian: So it’s none of my business??

It shrunk its neck a little.

The Hustlers Sect… ah, it knew it was the sect founded by Su Buxian, but what caught its attention was that Lord Bai Qixing and several generals like Li Batian had private chats.

It eavesdropped when it was idle.

In those conversations, they had mentioned both The Hustlers and the Divine Machinery Kingdom… with emotions seeming heavy, hesitation present, and in the end, Lord Bai Qixing also seemed unable to make up his mind, deciding instead… to probe the Divine Machinery Kingdom first.

At this moment, Lin Jiangzhi couldn’t help but speak up:

“You just said… it’s about The Hustlers, right?”

“Yes.” Simon revealed a slight smile, “We are very interested in it, so we called you here to ask about…”

He didn’t spell it out, after all, he didn’t know what these people’s relationship was with The Hustlers Sect.

At this particular moment,

Bai Yilin was also observing and judging, his mind racing.

This was drifting from what they had anticipated.

Unexpectedly… the other party mentioned The Hustlers Sect, which directly disrupted their previous arrangements.

Even somewhat stupefied.

As Lin Jiangzhi was about to respond,

“Before answering, I would like to ask…”

Bai Yilin spoke slowly but did not rashly reply:

“Why are the two esteemed individuals interested in The Hustlers Sect…”

Lin Jiangzhi: …

I’m more curious about why these two esteemed individuals would know about The Hustlers.

Nancy observed the expressions of the four individuals, noticing… they all showed various degrees of shock and bewilderment.

At the same time,

there was also a certain wariness.

Lost in thought, Nancy realized that this space was his Sequence Characteristics ability, and naturally, he couldn’t be fooled by their emotional fluctuations.

He lightly patted Simon on the shoulder, seemingly conveying a message, then smiled and said, “It’s like this, the Sect Leader of that sect and I have had the fortune to meet twice, so I wanted to ask when I heard you mention him.”

The encounters were indeed true.

The first time he was humiliated after being ousted as the host.

The second time, he was dragged into murky waters, his planned retirement performance turned into… a servitude bound to this ship.

“Besides, there’s no need for you to be guarded or hostile.” Nancy lightly pointed, and a holographic image slowly appeared with a scene.

The scene was the recording from “Playhaven” at that time.

“Look, this is… the footage of the Sect Leader and me from my show.”

Of course,

Nancy didn’t release the audio, because… upon hearing it, one would realize he hardly spoke a word, it was all Su Qi hosting.

A black mark on his history.

But that didn’t matter…

Nancy already knew the identities of these people.

“If that’s the case.”

Lin Jiangzhi coughed once, “Then it truly is fate, and I won’t hide it from you, we are indeed the companions of that… Sect Leader you mentioned, also members of The Hustlers Sect.”

“Never thought the Sect Leader would have such a connection with you, we are really fortunate.”

“Also, I’m a fan. When you arrived at the Extreme Evil City, we all went to support you.”

Lin Jiangzhi was much smoother than Bai Yilin, instantly connecting relations, networking, trying to latch onto a big leg.

Simon’s eyes twitched slightly.

How to put it.

It seemed they indeed were members of The Hustlers Sect, and like President Su… their behaviors and speech were somewhat similar, probably influenced unknowingly.

Of course, they only learned the superficial aspect, for when President Su hoodwinked people, he was utterly watertight.

This fellow was clearly self-interested but lacked some flattery.

Which was normal, as ordinary people networking… to be neither humble nor haughty was already quite impressive.

And President Su.

He… made connections quite aggressively, often dragging people into his schemes without them realizing, without any say, they were compelled to join his cause.

Like… himself.

And…

Simon looked quietly at Nancy.

Nancy had not yet revealed his true association with Su Buxian.

He simply asked:

“Then, may I know… where is Su Buxian, Sect Leader Su, at the moment?”

To tell the truth,

after confirming their identity, Nancy felt a strong internal pressure somewhat alleviate.

The guy indeed also entered this Dark Zone.

At least there was someone to share the burden.

After all… he was well aware of Su Buxian’s abilities, always able to turn the rotten into the miraculous.

“The Sect Leader is…” Lin Jiangzhi coughed, “he should also be in another World Fragment, I guess.”

“Should be… right?”

Long Xun had Shandian resting on his shoulder, he paused, “Actually, we lost each other due to certain issues before, and currently, there’s still no news.”

“…” Nancy and Simon fell silent.

“But to tell the truth.”

Standing off to the side, Jian Xing spoke softly.

He was a protector that followed Young Master Spirit King An Xinghe, naturally having met Su Qi, and he was rather grateful to Su Qi for disrupting the Rhythm, potentially saving the Young Master.

“I remember it’s been quite a while since we parted ways.”

He looked at the people:

“And The Hustlers Sect now seems to be developing pretty well.”

“All three of you are very formidable, and so are the hundred or so people outside, all top-notched members.”

“Much can happen in three days, one should look with fresh eyes.”

Nancy paused slightly, too, agreeing.

Su Buxian had managed to recruit so many… each one could be called a Supernova, a member with potential, certainly no idleness was involved, and the effort shown in the development of Everday Commerce was commendable as well.
