Chapter 164 Participating in the Investigation
"What's the problem? Please speak up, President."
Ximen Tianyu did not hesitate, he knew that this was a test from the person in front of him.
The old man smiled slightly, his eyes revealing a bit of depth: "In your mind, what kind of organization is our Navoli Brotherhood?"
"To be honest, I don't know much about the Navoli Brotherhood, but the fact that Senior Shi and his gang stood up for the people when they were suffering is enough to make me respect the Brotherhood. In my opinion, the Navoli Brotherhood is not just an organization, it is more like a force, a force that brings together countless people with a sense of justice."
Ximen Tianyu's answer was sincere and profound, but the old man shook his head after hearing it, as if he did not agree with his opinion.
"The Navoli Brotherhood has not been recognized by the Dao Alliance since its establishment. Do you know why?"
Ximen Tianyu frowned slightly when he heard this. He had indeed never thought deeply about this question. He looked up at the old man, his eyes full of confusion and curiosity.
"Please enlighten me, President." He responded respectfully.
The old man sighed softly, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes: "Because the justice we pursue is often contrary to the secular rules. Since its establishment, the Navoli Brotherhood has fought for those who cannot survive under the protection of the Taoist Alliance. We rescue orphans and widows, we expose the corruption of the powerful, and we fight against injustice, but these are labeled by the Taoist Alliance as destroying the peace of humans and demons."
When Ximen Tianyu heard this, his whole body shuddered. He realized that there was a subtle gap between the justice he understood and the justice pursued by the Navoli Brotherhood.
But the old man's voice did not stop there, and continued: "In the eyes of the Dao League, stability and order are above all else. What they need is not change, but to maintain the status quo."
“In order not to destroy the so-called peace between humans and demons, they let these demons fight on the border, leaving innocent people homeless and their homes destroyed. These tragic situations are exactly why our Navoli Brotherhood exists.” The old man’s tone, which had been quite mild, became firm when he said this. “We know very well that true peace is not achieved by sacrificing the weak, but requires someone to stand up and fight for the rights of those who cannot speak out.”
It must be said that the old man's words were very brainwashing. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been excited and vowed to join this just war. But Ximen Tianyu was different. He had a calmer mind and deep insight. He was not overwhelmed by the old man's passionate words, but fell into deeper thinking.
"What the president said is very true. I am grateful for your advice."
Ximen Tianyu is not a fool, and he would not refute his point of view on other people's territory, but he was secretly thinking about how to find his own position in this force and then continue with his plan.
“President, although I am new here, I have a heart that is willing to sacrifice myself for justice. If the Navoli Brotherhood really has such a grand ambition, I, Ximen Tianyu, am willing to do my best to fight alongside you.”
The old man laughed out loud upon hearing this, and then took out a token from his arms. The token was engraved with complicated totems and emitted a faint blue light, which seemed to contain some mysterious power. He handed the token to Ximen Tianyu, his eyes full of trust and expectation.
"Ximen Tianyu, this token is the symbol of our Navoli Brotherhood. It means that you will officially become one of us."
"Thank you for your trust, President. Ximen Tianyu will definitely live up to your expectations. But before that, I have a request."
Ximen Tianyu took the token with both hands, feeling the warmth and strength it conveyed, but his expression suddenly became serious.
"Oh? What's the matter? Just tell me." The old man didn't seem surprised by Ximen Tianyu's request, but rather curious. "I heard that the Brotherhood's intelligence organizations are spread all over the human and demon worlds. I wonder if you know what caused the riots during this period?"
When Ximen Tianyu finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room seemed to freeze for a moment. A complex light flashed in the old man's deep eyes, as if he was weighing something. After a moment, he slowly spoke, his voice carrying a bit of heaviness.
"What you mentioned is indeed the most difficult issue at the moment. Recently, the Demon Alliance and the Taoist Alliance have gathered at this small border. It seems that they have nothing to do with each other, but in fact, there is an undercurrent. However, the hidden things in it are strictly kept secret by the two forces. Although we have explored it in many ways, we have never been able to touch the core."
"President, this matter is of great importance. If the truth cannot be ascertained in time, I am afraid that both worlds will fall into a deeper disaster. I request to be able to participate in this investigation and do my best to contribute to the Brotherhood."
Ximen Tianyu said in a firm tone.
The old man stared at Ximen Tianyu, with a hint of admiration in his eyes: "Logically speaking, you have just joined us, so you cannot participate in such a high-level operation, but your courage and determination are particularly to my liking."
"In that case, on behalf of the Brotherhood, I formally approve your participation in this investigation."
As the old man spoke, he took out a secret letter from under the table and handed it to Ximen Tianyu. The secret letter was sealed with the special mark of the Navoli Brotherhood, and it was obviously a very important intelligence document.
"Here is all the information and clues we have about the riots. You need to study it carefully. Then I will let Shi Feiyang take you to
Let’s do it together.”
"Thank you for your trust, President. Ximen Tianyu will do his best to fulfill his mission!"
Ximen Tianyu took the secret letter with both hands, feeling excited. He had been thinking about how to use the power of the Navoli Brotherhood to investigate the matter, but he didn't expect to get permission so easily.
He took a deep breath, kept the secret letter close to his body, thanked the president again, and left the secret room.
Shi Feiyang had been waiting outside the door for a long time. When he saw Ximen Tianyu coming out, he walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a brotherly manner, "Tianyu, the president has just sent me a message saying that you are a courageous kid, so you will be included in this mission."
Ximen Tianyu looked at Shi Feiyang gratefully and nodded: "Brother Shi, thank you for your trust and support. What should I do next?"
"Don't be so nervous. Our brotherhood emphasizes teamwork and flexibility. Tomorrow night, I will take you to meet some of our spies in the Demon Alliance and the Taoist Alliance to get first-hand intelligence from them."
"As for the remaining time, Brother Ximen can take a good rest and adjust your condition. After all, the next mission will not only test your cultivation, but also your physical strength and endurance."
