Infiltrating the righteous path? Just another place to be a sycophant.

Could this person, sitting in this position, be the current leader of the Righteous Alliance?

That must be it. Mysterious, low-key, and silent—aren't all strong people like that?

Lu An became nervous. If he wasn't mistaken, this person should be the main interviewer, right?

Don't panic. The more important the situation, the calmer you need to be!

If you're going to put on airs, you have to!

So Lu An cautiously observed the man, then asked Zhuge Zhi beside him, "Mr. Zhuge, is the one sitting in the main seat the alliance leader?"

"That one? Which one? You mean the one with its head down?"

"Yes……"

“Ah, that’s not the alliance leader. The alliance leader is over there.” After saying that, Zhuge Zhi pointed to the pillar next to him.

Only then did Lu An notice that a person dressed in a brown-black Taoist robe was leaning against the pillar.

Beside that person were several jars of wine, and the ground was covered with wine that smelled of alcohol.

His hair was a mess, like a bird's nest. He was holding a jar of wine, leaning against a pillar, and fell into a deep sleep.

He was snoring from time to time, showing no signs of being a hermit, but rather like a drunken slumber.

Lu An was a little confused. If this was the leader of the alliance, then who was the one sitting in the main seat?

"That guy in the main seat is a drunkard. He was drinking with the alliance leader last night, and they both ended up passing out," Zhuge Zhi said helplessly. "I was just thinking of having a casual drink, but they both drank too much. Wait, I'll call someone to wake them up and carry them away."

Lu An finally understood; the person in the main seat had actually drunk too much, and wasn't just pretending to be mysterious by bowing his head.

He was overthinking it.

Zhuge Zhi waved his hand, and then a member of the Righteous Alliance appeared out of nowhere.

After Zhuge Zhi whispered a few words to him, he nodded and waved his hand. Several people ran out from behind the pillar and carried the person off the main seat.

As the person in the main seat was being carried off, he mumbled, "I...I can still drink, don't touch me!"

"Ugh, why did you have to drink so much? I told you I wouldn't wake up today, so take me away!"

Several people removed the wine from Zhuge Zhi's mouth, and then Zhuge Zhi went to the alliance leader's side, patted his face, and said softly, "Alliance leader, alliance leader, it's time to wake up! Lu An is here!"

"Huh...? Don't bother me, I'm about to become an immortal!"

"Alliance Leader, Alliance Leader, wake up!"

"I've already told you, I'm about to become an immortal! If you bother me again, I'll kill you all!"

The leader of the alliance got up drunk, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Yu Wanqing.

Then Zhuge Zhi returned to his original seat.

"Oh, it's Wanqing. What brings you here today?"

What do you think? Did you forget something today?

"Uh, haven't become an immortal yet today?"

"Today is the day new members join the Righteous Alliance, why are you pretending to be confused?"

"Hey, he's just a newbie. Don't I, as the alliance leader, have any dignity? Do I have to greet every newbie?"

The alliance leader stood up drunkenly, and Yu Wanqing seemed to have him completely under her control, which puzzled Lu An.

Does Yu Wanqing have that much influence?

"Elder Lu, you may not know this, but the Alliance Leader is actually Yu Wanqing's father, and Yu Wanqing is the one he loves the most!"

Lu An suddenly realized.

So this is my father-in-law!

Chapter 118 I suspect he's an undercover agent!

As expected of Zhuge Liang, he is truly extraordinary. With just a glance, he already knew what the man was thinking and provided the corresponding answer.

That wise expression truly reveals a wise mind!

Although his eyes are a bit strange, Zhuge Liang is still Zhuge Liang, truly extraordinary!

"Father, if you keep doing this, I'll start telling on Mother when she comes out of seclusion!"

Yu Wanqing said helplessly.

"Hey, what do you mean 'your mother' and 'my mother'? Your mother is my wife, and that woman, I'm not afraid of her at all!" The leader, drunk, sat down in the main seat: "Let me tell you, I'm the boss in this family! I'm the boss!"

"The Alliance Leader has gone on a drunken rampage again. Elder Lu, you're making a fool of yourself," Zhuge Zhi said somewhat awkwardly, but Lu An waved his hand to indicate that he didn't care.

"Oh, so this is Lu An? I've heard he's young but incredibly strong and has a remarkable presence. Seeing him today, I can see he's truly extraordinary!" The alliance leader seemed to suddenly snap out of his daze, stumbling over to Lu An and widening his eyes: "Looks pretty fierce, huh! Hahahaha!"

Another lunatic, this guy's probably gone mad...

But Lu An could only look at him expressionlessly, without saying a word.

The alliance leader just stared at him without saying a word.

Everyone else watched this scene with bated breath.

The so-called eye contact between two big shots.

"Father, don't scare them."

Finally, Yu Wanqing couldn't hold back any longer and spoke up to remind her.

Then, as if waking from a dream, the leader silently retreated to his seat and stopped looking at Lu An.

Lu An took a deep breath and stopped looking at him.

Why is this guy glaring at me like that?

"Father, why are your hands shaking?"

Yu Wanqing had just grasped the Alliance Leader's hand when she noticed that the Alliance Leader was trembling slightly, something she had never seen before.

"I...I'm fine, I just drank too much and couldn't control myself."

The leader took a deep breath, trying to calm the... fear in his heart.

Lu An, standing to the side, also tried to suppress his fear and took a deep breath.

This old Taoist priest seemed very calm, but based on his years of experience observing big shots, he knew this person was definitely extraordinary.

Absolutely extraordinary! There's not a trace of fear in those eyes!?

As expected of the leader of the Righteous Alliance, he probably already understands himself now, right?

It seems I need to be more careful.

"Wanqing, come here for a moment." The alliance leader beckoned, and Yu Wanqing obediently leaned in to listen.

"What is Lu An's strength?"

"The period of transcending tribulation."

"Which level of tribulation are you undergoing?"

"I don't know, I can't see through it, but it's very strong, otherwise Gu Leilong wouldn't have been scared off by it."

The alliance leader remained silent, but he gave Lu An a meaningful look, and a sense of respect arose in his heart.

He had just stared at Lu An for a while when he felt a sense of fear.

Lu An's eyes were as calm as a deep pool, and since he couldn't understand Lu An's cultivation level at all, in his eyes Lu An seemed to be an unparalleled expert.

His calm, unwavering gaze conveyed his disdain.

Yes, that must be the case.

He felt that Lu An didn't care about him, nor about his so-called alliance leader status, nor about his cultivation level and strength, which was why they looked at each other like that.

This child is so young, yet he possesses such cultivation, such a state of mind, and such eyes. His future is bound to be limitless!

Then the alliance leader suddenly looked up and asked, "Wanqing, you said he wants to join the Righteous Path Alliance, is that right?"

Yu Wanqing nodded and said, "Yes, Father, he..."

Snapped!

The alliance leader slammed his fist on the table and exclaimed, "Granted! Anyone who objects is going against me! That's it! Who agrees and who disagrees?!"

Everyone at the table fell silent; clearly, no one wanted to object.

But this speed seems a bit too fast, doesn't it? They even skipped the transitions?

Yu Wanqing was also stunned, after all, she had never seen such a scene before.

Others have come in this way before, but each time their cheapskate father makes things difficult for them.

But just now, his father made a glance with Lu An and actually accepted him. This is simply unbelievable!

The one who felt the most unbalanced was Chang Yuqing.

Because the person who was interviewed by the alliance leader and others last time, and was specially recruited into the Righteous Alliance after going through many rounds of selection, was him.

I thought I could at least experience being an examiner today, or at least enjoy the spectacle, but instead of the spectacle, I witnessed the final decision being made.

It completely baffled him.

I went through so much trouble to join the Righteous Path Alliance and escape my status as a beast of burden in the cultivation world, only to find that someone else arrived in Rome with just a glance or a look? How did this happen?

unfair! So unfair!

But what can you do if it's unfair? He can't really say anything.

He's tough on taking a beating, but he's not a good fighter. If he can't win, he naturally has no say.

The alliance leader has already made the decision, and he doesn't want to speak out against injustice and then court death.

Zhuge Zhi, however, was the first to stand up, looking at Lu An with his crooked eyes and saying, "Elder Lu, congratulations on becoming a member of our Righteous Path Alliance!"

Lu An stood up with a bewildered look on his face, then nodded with another bewildered look, and sat down again with the same bewildered look on his face.

What is going on? This is terrible!

But no matter what, it's good that I can join. It's another big step forward in getting to the task assigned by my master.

But what exactly is this undercover agent infiltrating? That's really strange.

I feel like I was sent undercover with a completely blank mind, and I still don't know what my purpose is.

Eating without doing anything and making money off others? The spirit stone income is actually much higher than when I wasn't undercover.

Thinking about it carefully, is this considered an undercover operation or a job hopping?

Lu An didn't quite understand.

However, the enthusiastic applause suppressed Lu An's thoughts.

"Wait, I object!"

Just as everyone was applauding, a loud and energetic voice suddenly rang out, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

Who on earth dares to openly challenge the alliance leader's decision?

Are you out of your mind?!

Everyone turned around and saw that the newcomer was a stunningly beautiful woman with captivating charm and allure, who seemed capable of bringing ruin to a country.

Her appearance instantly attracted everyone's attention.

She was incredibly beautiful, but in Lu An's eyes, she was just too provocative.

Originally, he thought it was some ignorant fool who had come, and he was about to give her a good scolding and a beating. But when he saw that it was this woman, the leader of the alliance fell silent.

Yu Wanqing was also stunned; clearly, she recognized the woman.

Yu Wanqing was the first to react, and went up to take the woman's hand, saying, "Mother, why did you come out of seclusion?"

The alliance leader, as if waking from a dream, quickly made way for the woman to sit down: "My lady, why didn't you inform us when you came out of seclusion?"

Seeing the two men welcoming the woman as if she were a queen, Lu An finally understood.

This is... Yu Wanqing's mother! The woman he once mistakenly thought he had already sent!

If Yu Wanqing hadn't said that she was just in seclusion trying to break through a bottleneck, Lu An would have really thought her mother was gone just from those few words and tone.
