Chapter 1373 Perhaps we can fish in troubled waters
"What did you say?"
Lu Su seriously doubted whether there was something wrong with his ears.
Otherwise, why would he have heard Sun Wukong say that he had accidentally stumbled upon the scene of Chong Minxin's assassination?
Otherwise, why would he hear Sun Wukong say that the assassin had been captured and brought to justice with his assistance from Chong Minxin?
In that instant, Lu Su's mind raced, frantically trying to figure out if there was some other conspiracy involved.
It's not that he's a coward.
If he were truly a coward.
They wouldn't knowingly pretend not to know Sun Wukong's extraordinary abilities and then brazenly try to curry favor with him.
Isn't the purpose to ensure that Sun Wukong remains firmly on the big ship of the Third Guild?
However, this concerns the administrators of the Heavenly Dao Alliance.
Even if Chong Minxin is only one of the managers of the Heavenly Alliance.
The fact that the enemy was assassinated and that the battle had once been at a stalemate was enough to prove that the enemy was extraordinary.
Faced with an enemy whose origins and background were unclear, Sun Wukong was surprisingly skilled and daring, and was captured without hesitation!
This... is completely different from the previous minor squabbles!
The fact that the administrators of the Heavenly Dao Alliance are involved makes this matter quite intriguing.
“…Brother, haven’t you ever considered that this might be a power struggle between the administrators of the Heavenly Dao Alliance?”
Lu Su took several deep breaths before managing to utter this sentence.
This is actually a reminder to Sun Wukong.
Regardless of the reason why Chong Minxin was assassinated this time.
Since it has already involved the management of the Heavenly Dao Alliance.
That's not something they, as lowly task participants, can participate in.
Don't be fooled by how powerful these mission-oriented associations seem.
In fact, from the perspective of the Heavenly Dao Alliance's management, it was just a minor skirmish, nothing serious.
Even if Sun Wukong's abilities are not bad, and his birth may even be somewhat miraculous.
Actively getting involved in this kind of thing could easily lead to your utter destruction.
He wasn't worried about whether the Third Guild would be implicated.
After all, if that were to happen, given Sun Wukong's character, he would probably find a way to settle things with the Third Guild.
If all else fails, there's always him!
At worst, he can use all his connections to protect all the mission takers from the Third Guild!
The only cost might be the complete demise of the Third Guild.
But as the saying goes, as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn.
As long as the mission takers are still around, the fourth and fifth guilds can continue the glory of the third guild.
Hearing this, Sun Wukong shook his head: "I didn't think that much about it. I just saw someone being chased, and the chaser even mistook us for accomplices. If that weren't the case, I wouldn't have bothered to intervene..."
Sun Wukong spoke, half-jokingly and half-seriously.
After all, what he said wasn't wrong.
If Protector Huang hadn't ruthlessly killed him, Sun Wukong wouldn't have bothered with the matter.
He was already being very generous by sending a message to Lu Su, asking Lu Su to warn the law enforcement officers of the approaching danger.
Isn't this all just a coincidence?
Upon hearing Sun Wukong's words, Lu Su felt utterly distressed.
Although that's the logic, the power struggles at the top are completely unreasonable.
"Just be careful and don't try to take it personally. If I can help you, I definitely will."
As Lu Su spoke, he patted Sun Wukong on the shoulder, telling Sun Wukong to rest assured.
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong laughed.
He stated his main purpose frankly: "Then thank you very much, brother."
"By the way, the main reason I'm telling you all this is to remind you, brother, that the Heavenly Dao Alliance might be in chaos soon."
"Our Third Guild might be able to take advantage of this chaos and fish in troubled waters."
Upon hearing this, Lu Su immediately snapped out of his previous state of worry.
He looked at Sun Wukong with some disbelief: "Brother, what you're saying is..."
Sun Wukong interrupted Lu Su's hesitation: "Brother, what are you saying? Don't you know who I am?"
He stared at Lu Su with a serious expression, without a trace of a smile on his face. Anyone who came could see the seriousness in his eyes.
Under Sun Wukong's serious attitude, Lu Su finally understood that the other party would never have said such a thing to him if he was not absolutely certain.
Given this, the ensuing chaos might present the Third Guild with another opportunity to expand.
The two had a series of discussions about how to handle the chaos that might follow.
Before we knew it, the night had passed.
It happened around noon the next day.
An explosive news story suddenly flooded the entire Tiandao Alliance forum.
Chong Minxin used his authority to issue a notice, first explaining that he had been assassinated and then expressing strong condemnation of such an act.
Then, changing the subject, Chong Minxin directly stated that the assassin had been captured and that they would be interrogating him.
The meaning of "compassionate heart" here is to bring this hidden cancer to justice.
As soon as the announcement was issued, law enforcement was the first to respond.
His words were sharp and earnest, implying that all the previous turmoil and unrest in the Heavenly Dao Alliance was attributed to this person behind the scenes.
Believe it or not, this explanation actually fooled quite a few uninformed people.
However, those in the know believe that both the announcement from Chongminxin and the statement released by law enforcement are undoubtedly warnings and reprimands.
Snowflakes Guild.
After being reminded by his trusted aide, Gu Xing read the entire announcement and statement very carefully, and his face was extremely gloomy at this moment.
"President... does this mean our affair has been exposed?" The confidant trembled.
After all, the person above them had been out of contact for more than a day, and coincidentally, the Heavenly Dao Alliance issued such a notice at this time.
This doesn't seem like a coincidence at all.
In particular, that official also followed their lead to successfully intercept and kill the law enforcement officers.
If this gets investigated, neither Gu Xing nor he will get away with it.
Just imagining that scene made the confidant's breathing quicken.
Upon hearing this, Gu Xing glanced at his trusted confidant and sneered, "Can't you be a little more capable? It's not necessarily that the lord has been captured."
"You know how powerful they are. Maybe they just happened to run into an assassination attempt. Don't scare yourself."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xing's confidant immediately nodded: "Yes, yes, you're right, Chairman! It's probably just a coincidence; there's no way it could be such a coincidence!"
Although both of them knew that such a statement was self-deception.
But now, this is the only way to put their minds at ease.
