It was supposed to be a Mythic card set, but what the heck is this Warhammer 40k?

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Beiling sent Lu Ya an address.

Lu Ya hailed a taxi and headed towards the address on his phone.

After a half-hour drive, the taxi slowly pulled up to the side of the road.

Lu Ya got out of the car and looked up, only to see that the area had been completely sealed off by a police cordon.

Due to the loss of control over the Peach Blossom Village Secret Realm, the original entrance and exit to the secret realm were sealed off. Therefore, the Card Master Alliance built a temporary entrance and exit for the secret realm in this location.

In addition to a temporary entrance to the secret realm, a large number of medical tents were also set up inside the cordon.

Those card masters who were injured while carrying out their missions were carried out of the entrance to the Peach Blossom Village secret realm and quickly placed into these medical tents.

Judging from the preparations made by the Card Master Alliance, the situation in Peach Blossom Village is indeed not optimistic.

As Lu Ya crossed the cordon and looked at the busy crowd, he was pondering whether to go up and find Jiang Beiling.

A voice came from beside Lu Ya, interrupting his thoughts.

"Dude, you're new here, right?"

Lu Ya turned his head and saw a young man with a full head of blond hair and wearing trendy clothes standing next to him, greeting him as if they were old friends.

Although Lu Ya did not recognize the blond-haired youth in front of him.

Out of politeness, Lu Ya nodded and replied, "I suppose so. Who are you?"

After confirming Lu Ya's newcomer status, the blond-haired youth replied with a smile, "Don't misunderstand, my name is Wu Tong, and I'm a Bronze-level card master. You seem unfamiliar to me, so I came to ask."

"You're new to the Card Master Alliance. If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to come to me. I've been in the Card Master Alliance for almost three years, so I might know a little more about some things than you do."

Of course, this is not because Wu Tong is particularly kind-hearted.

He said that simply because he liked to pretend, especially in front of newcomers who knew nothing.

As long as he shows his qualifications, the newcomers often show admiration and respect, which brings Wu Tong a great sense of satisfaction.

So after discovering Lu Ya, Wu Tong planned to use the same trick again and put on a show in front of Lu Ya.

However, Lu Ya was not entirely unaware of Wu Tong's ulterior motives.

However, Lu Ya was in no hurry to expose Wu Tong's thoughts. Instead, he gave a half-smile and said, "Is that so? Thank you so much."

Wu Tong waved his hand and said, "Hey, these are all minor matters, not worth mentioning."

Although Wu Tong said this, seeing that Lu Ya did not show any reaction, Wu Tong was somewhat unwilling.

So Wu Tong continued, "By the way, buddy, what mission are you here for this time?"

Lu Ya didn't think much of it and answered directly, "I'm here to participate in a rescue mission."

Upon hearing this, Wu Tong's eyes lit up. He smiled slightly and said, "Isn't this a coincidence? I'm also here to participate in the rescue mission, so we can be considered teammates."

"When it comes to carrying out the mission, I'll protect you. You just need to follow me."

Seeing Wu Tong's boastful manner, Lu Ya's expression became somewhat strange.

He coughed lightly and said, "How could I possibly accept this?"

Upon hearing Lu Ya's words, Wu Tong waved his hand and said, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. I'm practically your senior, so it's only right for a senior to take care of a newcomer!"

Lu Ya said with a forced smile, "Then the next task will probably have to be handled by you, Brother Wu."

Upon hearing Lu Ya's words, Wu Tong's face showed satisfaction.

That's more like it; that's what a newcomer should be like.

Lu Ya then asked, "By the way, Brother Wu, I heard this rescue mission is extremely dangerous. How confident are you?"

When asked about this, Wu Tong confidently patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, with me here, nothing will happen."

"Moreover, just in case, the Card Master Alliance has specially arranged for a powerful figure to be in charge of covering for them."

Upon hearing about the powerful figure, Lu Ya immediately became curious: "Powerful figure? What powerful figure?"

Wu Tong clicked his tongue and said with a sigh, "Do you know about the evil card master who caused such a stir in Lingjiang City a while ago?"

"Our Card Master Alliance went to great lengths but still couldn't catch that evil card master. In the end, we had no choice but to ask that powerful figure for help."

"In the end, it only took less than a day for that powerful man to take action and kill that evil card master."

"I also heard that the evil card master couldn't even last three rounds against that formidable person before he died. Tell me, wasn't that person incredibly powerful?"

Wu Tong was describing the situation to Lu Ya with great enthusiasm, completely unaware that Lu Ya's expression had become strange.

He was initially curious about the "fierce man" Wu Tong mentioned, but after listening to Wu Tong's description for a while, he realized that the "fierce man" Wu Tong was talking about was actually himself.

Most importantly, it's clear from Wu Tong's account that this story has been embellished countless times!

So much so that Lu Ya almost didn't recognize that the "fierce man" Wu Tong was talking about was himself.

After listening to Wu Tong's account, Lu Ya coughed awkwardly and said, "Incredible, truly incredible!"

After receiving Lu Ya's candid answer, Wu Tong looked satisfied and continued, "Let me tell you, these are all inside information from our Card Master Alliance. I went through a lot of trouble to find out about them."

"I seem to remember, that powerful man's name was Lu... Lu something?"

"Lu Ya," Lu Ya added promptly at this moment.

Wu Tong, reminded by Lu Ya, slapped his thigh and excitedly said, "Yes, that's right, his name is Lu Ya."

However, Wu Tong had barely finished speaking when he immediately realized something was wrong. He looked at Lu Ya suspiciously and asked, "Hey buddy, how did you know?"

Just as Lu Ya was pondering how to explain, a familiar voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

"Wu Tong, what are you doing here? We're about to enter the secret realm, why aren't you getting ready?"

Lu Ya turned his head and saw Jiang Beiling walking towards them.

Upon seeing Jiang Beiling, Wu Tong quickly explained with a smile, "I'm just chatting with the newcomer, I'll be right there."

As she spoke, Wu Tong pointed to Lu Ya beside her.

Jiang Beiling looked in the direction Wu Tong pointed and her gaze fell on Lu Ya. Jiang Beiling raised an eyebrow and said, "Lu Ya, you've finally arrived. I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Lu Ya shrugged and said helplessly, "There's nothing I can do. It's a bit far, and it took me quite a while to get here."

After overhearing Lu Ya and Jiang Beiling's conversation, Wu Tong looked stunned.

He looked at Jiang Beiling, his voice trembling slightly, and asked, "You... what did you just say this newcomer's name was again?"

Jiang Beiling replied with some confusion, "Lu Ya, didn't you just hear that?"

After receiving Jiang Beiling's reply, Wu Tong twisted his stiff neck, looked at Lu Ya, and forced a stiff smile: "Brother Lu... about what happened just now."

However, before Wu Tong could finish speaking, Lu Ya interrupted him with a laugh: "Hey, don't worry, Brother Wu, we're all brothers, that was just a joke."

Wu Tong was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, but before he could even feel happy, Lu Ya said with a smile again, "By the way, Brother Wu, the mission will depend on you later, please take good care of me."

Upon hearing Lu Ya's words, Wu Tong's expression froze, and the smile on her face instantly turned into something more like a grimace.
