Chapter 780: The Yakuza's Stance

Yan Zhichun got up early in the morning and looked at the two women in front of her.

Yesterday evening, while Yan Zhichun was resting there, these two women entered the building one after another, but neither spoke a word. After coming inside, they huddled in the corner, quietly waiting for the night to pass.

They were like the most common "participants" in "Zhong Yan Zhi Di".

At that moment, these two strange women also got up on their own and began to tidy themselves up simply. They seemed not to know each other.

The three people in the room were very cautious, so throughout the night, they just stayed in their respective corners, and no one spoke to the others.

After waiting a while, one of the girls broke the silence and tentatively said to the two:

“Um… this place looks very dangerous. Should the three of us team up and act together?”

Yan Zhichun turned her head impassively and glanced at her, noticing that the girl had a serene appearance, very fair skin, not particularly beautiful, but giving off a comfortable feeling.

Her hair was tied into a ponytail at the back of her head, and she was wearing only a simple T-shirt and a pair of black pants, like the most ordinary girl in everyday life.

Yan Zhichun felt that this woman looked a bit familiar, but couldn't remember where she had seen her.

“Sorry, I'm quite reclusive.”

Yan Zhichun said,

“You two can team up yourselves; don't include me.”

The girl with the ponytail shrugged helplessly after hearing this, then looked at the other girl:

“What about you? This place obviously needs teammates. Do you want to go together?”

The other girl smiled and shook her head:

“Sorry, I have teammates. I'm going to find them now.”

The girl with the ponytail could only nod helplessly upon hearing this, understanding their intentions.

Yan Zhichun knew she had never seen the two before, so she turned to leave, but suddenly heard four words that made her freeze in place—

“Ji Dao Wan Sui.”

Yan Zhichun's eyebrows twitched, and she turned back to look at the other girl.

The girl with the ponytail also cast a puzzled glance at her:

“Ji Dao… Wan Sui? What is that?”

The girl slowly stood up, stared into Yan Zhichun's eyes, and tentatively said again:

“Ji Dao Wan Sui.”

“Ji Dao Wan Sui.”

Yan Zhichun replied.

“You really are one of us.”

The girl instantly laughed,

“I'm Lin Geng.”

Yan Zhichun nodded after hearing this:

“Yan Zhichun.”

Although they exchanged names, strangely, neither had heard of the other's name.

After waiting a few seconds, Yan Zhichun felt a bit strange:

“Are you really from 'Ji Dao'?”

“Yes, genuine.”

Lin Geng said,

“Why?”

“Did you just join recently?”

Yan Zhichun asked again.

“No, at least seven years ago.”

Lin Geng shook her head in response.

“Seven years…?”

After saying that, Lin Geng clearly saw hostility in Yan Zhichun's eyes.

But she pretended as if nothing had happened and smiled at Yan Zhichun:

“What's wrong? Have you been in for a long time too?”

“I say…”

Yan Zhichun's expression gradually turned cold, and she said,

“'Ji Dao' has only existed for a few years. Are you trying to fool me?”

“Oh?”

Lin Geng paused,

“How am I fooling you?”

“You joined way too early.”

Yan Zhichun said,

“Unless you're one of the founders of 'Ji Dao'?”

“Of course not, I just joined early.”

Lin Geng said,

“Why… are you one of the founders?”

Yan Zhichun looked at her cautiously, feeling an ominous premonition in her heart.

If the other party wasn't from 'Ji Dao', how would she know the code to confirm identity?

But if she is from 'Ji Dao', a member who's been in for seven whole years, and I've never heard of her, that's just too weird.

After all, I was the one who founded 'Ji Dao' seven years ago.

“Sorry, I just want to know… who exactly are you?”

Yan Zhichun said,

“Why are you pretending to be from 'Ji Dao'?”

“'Pretending'…?”

Lin Geng also slowly frowned after hearing this,

“I don't understand. Is our 'Ji Dao' some all-powerful organization? What's the point of me pretending to be a 'Ji Dao' member?”

“That's really something.”

Yan Zhichun said,

“There are so many flaws in your few words that I can't help but suspect. I thought you said 'Ji Dao Wan Sui' because you recognized me, but actually, you just said it casually? What makes you so sure that I'm a 'Ji Dao' member?”

“Because you said you're reclusive.”

Lin Geng answered,

“We 'Ji Dao' members have always been reclusive. Is there a problem?”

Watching Yan Zhichun and Lin Geng arguing like they were exchanging codes, the girl with the ponytail felt a bit uneasy.

“You two, don't argue…”

The girl with the ponytail said to them,

“You look like you're meeting for the first time, right? Why are you arguing so fiercely?”

“It's none of your business.”

Yan Zhichun said coldly,

“I don't need others to understand me, but I really hate people pretending to be from 'Ji Dao'.”

“Make yourself clear.”

Lin Geng also felt a bit angry,

“You can't even judge if I'm from 'Ji Dao', so how can you say I'm pretending?”

“Heh, I don't know what your stance is or who sent you, but 'Ji Dao' is my faith, and I won't allow anyone to blaspheme it.”

Yan Zhichun looked at Lin Geng coldly and said,

“For this faith, I'll do anything. If you're from some organization trying to investigate or undermine us, you'd better give up that idea, or I'll kill.”

“Ridiculous.”

Lin Geng was clearly angered and stood up with an angry expression,

“As if you're the only 'Ji Dao' in the world. Did you think you're the only one who's sacrificed everything for these two words?”

“In that case, tell me, what is 'Ji Dao's' stance?”

“There are outsiders here.”

Lin Geng said,

“Are you sure you want to ask me?”

“Yes.”

Yan Zhichun said,

“I've been out of the loop for too long, leading to so many imposters. I'm really disappointed.”

“Fine… 'Ji Dao's' purpose is to guard 'Tao Yuan', to prevent anyone from collecting enough 'Dao' to escape from here.”

Lin Geng said,

“Is that enough?”

Before Yan Zhichun could answer, the girl with the ponytail's expression changed.

“What…?”

She was stunned,

“What the hell are you talking about…?”

The two turned their heads and looked her up and down, feeling that she was a bit strange.

At that moment, both felt she looked familiar, but couldn't remember where they had seen her.

“You guys are the ones stopping everyone from collecting 'Dao'…?”

The girl's tone was full of hostility,

“What kind of cult is this…? You treat this as 'faith'?”

Lin Geng looked at her T-shirt and felt even more familiar. At that moment, a flash of insight crossed her mind, making her freeze.

“Wait… what's your name?”

Lin Geng asked.

“Me? I'm Wen Qiaoyun.”
