Chapter 309: Forced to Lead

At the very least, he had not been thrown into some dark underground dungeon and he already counted that as fortunate.

“Why did you kidnap me?”

“Kidnap? That’s unfair. I merely invited you here.” Xie Yunlan’s voice sounded pitiful as though he had no other choice.

“This is what you call an invitation?”

“This is how Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall has always invited people.”

Xie Yunlan finally appeared.

His face was quite handsome, but even after showing himself, he seemed unable to sit still.

Yue Mingxuan could not be bothered to argue with him.

Since it was an “invitation,” then for the time being, his life should not be in danger.

He looked around and noticed a letter left on the table.

After opening the letter, he roughly understood why he had been “invited” here.

It turned out that the master of Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall had always been shrouded in mystery throughout the generations.

The identity of the master could only be confirmed through a certain token and the token is the jade bracelet he wore.

As long as one possessed that bracelet, they could command Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall.

However, despite being an intelligence-gathering organization, very few people could obtain any information about this bracelet.

Anyone found wearing it was to be recognized as the master of Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall.

Somehow, they had obtained information that Yue Mingxuan possessed this bracelet.

Still, he found it rather strange, weren’t they worried about making a mistake?

As he thought about it, he voiced the question aloud.

Xie Yunlan smiled and said, “Naturally, we verified it using our own methods. The methods is unique to our tower, in ways you wouldn’t notice it.”

A chill immediately ran down Yue Mingxuan’s spine.

Could it be that everyone in Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall had been thieves in their past lives?

Verified it without him knowing?

He had never once felt the bracelet leave his body.

“If I become the master of this tower, what benefits do I get?”

“There are naturally many benefits.” For a moment, Xie Yunlan could not name anything specific and spoke vaguely. “We can obtain any information you desire.”

“Then tell me, how can I make money quickly?”

“We’re an intelligence organization, not a money-making service!” Xie Yunlan was speechless.

This person… why was he so obsessed with money?

Most people, upon learning they could become the master of Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall would be overjoyed.

But Yue Mingxuan was completely different.

That said, there were indeed rumors among the common people that Prince Yue loved money.

Xie Yunlan’s thoughts shifted and he said, “If you become the master of Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall would you still need to worry about money?”

“Then give me money right now.” Yue Mingxuan held out his hand.

He never engaged in losing deals. Well, except when it came to Shang Qinghua.

Xie Yunlan was at a loss for words.

Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall did indeed have money, but none of it belonged to him.

He really had no way of handing over a large sum to Yue Mingxuan immediately.

From the look of things, if he didn’t pay, Yue Mingxuan would refuse to take the position.

But Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall truly needed a master right now.

Whether Yue Mingxuan wanted it or not, he would have to take the role.

“You’re carrying the token of Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall. Why are you unwilling to become its master?” Since he couldn’t persuade Yue Mingxuan with money, Xie Yunlan had no choice but to try another approach.

“I just don’t want to!” Yue Mingxuan replied bluntly.

What a joke, he was already busy enough as it was.

If he took on another role as some kind of hall master, how could he ever escape all the responsibilities?

He had only just managed to hand over Flying Opera Group’s affairs to Bai Huayue!

“No matter what, you must take charge of Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall.”

Xie Yunlan acted just as shamelessly, leaving Yue Mingxuan both amused and exasperated.

It was the first time he had ever seen a grown man act so coquettishly and roguishly.

“And what if I refuse?”

“Then I’ll kill you and take the bracelet.”

Of course, this was a lie.

Once the bracelet recognized its master, it could never be transferred to another.

“You can’t be this unreasonable!” Yue Mingxuan sighed helplessly.

Not knowing that Xie Yunlan was bluffing, he could only reluctantly agree.

“Now that I’ve agreed, you can let me go, right?”

“Since you’ve agreed, you’ll need to learn the martial arts of Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall. Besides, the entire city is currently searching for you. If Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall were to sell you out—”

“Alright, alright, I get it! I’ll learn, I’ll learn!”

Yue Mingxuan finally gave in completely.

It was true that people outside were searching for him and he did not want to be discovered.

Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall was, perhaps, a place where many people came and went.

Staying here might actually be relatively safe.

Although he had already accepted that he had no choice but to remain here, Yue Mingxuan still felt somewhat displeased.

Honestly, if they wanted him to become the hall master, they should at least have informed him in advance so he could prepare himself mentally.

Dragging him here like this without warning was simply too rude!

Yue Mingxuan decided that the first thing he would do after becoming the master was to reform this system and they could not continue using such crude methods to “invite” people.

“You keep saying I need to learn the martial arts of Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall, but I don’t even know what kind of martial arts it has. Are you even sincere about inviting me?”

Although he disliked the methods of Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall, since he had already agreed, Yue Mingxuan intended to follow through.

However, Xie Yunlan had yet to explain what kind of martial arts he was supposed to learn.
