The Black Tower!
The name itself confirmed Ye Ming’s guess.
“Here is the information on the Black Tower, you can take a look!”
Nangong Qianyu handed her little notebook to Ye Ming. The information within was given to her by Li Zhirou.
As for how she had gathered this intelligence, that remained unknown.
Behind it all, there might have been other hidden figures at play.
Ye Ming took the notebook and carefully read each piece of information.
Three minutes later.
“No wonder Li Zhirou wanted me to recruit the Black Tower; it is indeed of great use to us!”
After reading, Ye Ming couldn’t help but sigh softly.
The Black Tower!
Simply put, it was a large intelligence organization centered around the Gaoqiao Nation and expanding to surrounding smaller countries.
The information they possessed in this region, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say, was absolutely the most comprehensive. Even if Naini’er arrived, she wouldn’t understand it in as much detail as they did.
As Li Zhirou had said, if Ye Ming could control this organization, then for all the small countries centered around the Gaoqiao Nation, it would undoubtedly reduce many troubles when selling spiritual artifacts and elixirs in the future.
Furthermore, within this organization, there existed a strict and clear hierarchy.
They were different from the Tianzi Consortium of Gaoqiao Nation.
The latter was managed by five major families, lacking a central core leader. In other words, their cohesion was insufficient.
When faced with immense temptations of profit, perhaps one or two of them might become irredeemably entangled.
Therefore, Ye Ming had not given them the position of spokesperson.
However, in the Black Tower, this problem did not exist.
Because they had a supreme leader.
The Tower Master!
All major decisions required the personal judgment of this mysterious Tower Master before they could be smoothly executed.
This way, in the grand strategy and operations, mistakes would essentially be avoided.
Not only that, but the intelligence provided by Li Zhirou also highlighted one point.
That was the influence of the Black Tower.
They held high prestige in both the Gaoqiao Nation and the neighboring smaller countries. Although their fees for intelligence were higher than average, making them seem somewhat unacceptable.
However, once you could afford their pricing, then what you wanted to know would not disappoint you.
Thus, although the Black Tower had the word "Black" in its name, their credibility was not low.
With this guarantee, if they could sell spiritual artifacts and elixirs through them in the future, then concerns about credibility would not be too great.
“Interesting! Since they have established such a complete order within the Black Tower, I have some interest in that mysterious Tower Master.”
After understanding the basic information about the Black Tower, Ye Ming was also somewhat swayed by Li Zhirou’s proposal.
“What a pity! There is no information about that Tower Master here!” Ye Ming returned the notebook to Nangong Qianyu, shaking his head and sighing.
Li Zhirou had collected only a basic overview of the Black Tower, without delving into any core secrets.
For example, high-ranking figures were not mentioned.
Even the headquarters' address was missing.
Therefore, Ye Ming could not make a decision immediately.
“Ye Ming! Why don’t you ask Sister Naini’er! For an organization like the Black Tower, it should also be within her intelligence network!” Nangong Qianyu suddenly reminded him.
“Naini’er!”
Hearing her say this, a sexy silhouette with a pair of incredibly long legs couldn’t help but appear in Ye Ming’s mind.
“That’s a good idea! I haven’t properly thanked her for devising the perfect route for us last time!”
Ye Ming took out a jade stone emitting a faint white light, on which were carved some ancient runes, making it appear particularly mysterious.
“What is this?”
Nangong Qianyu asked curiously.
“This is a spatial sound transmission stone I constructed using spatial power,” Ye Ming explained with a smile. “As long as the person wearing this spatial sound transmission stone is on this planet, I can contact them.”
“Wow! So magical?”
Nangong Qianyu extended her small hand, gesturing invitingly, “Give me one too.”
Hearing this, Ye Ming smiled and shook his head, patting her small head. “Silly girl! You already have one.”
As he spoke, Ye Ming’s gaze fell upon her chest.
“You…”
When Nangong Qianyu saw this, she initially thought the other party was taking advantage of her. But when she lowered her head, she discovered the necklace shimmering with a faint blue glow.
This was something Ye Ming had given her to protect herself a long time ago.
“There’s a spatial sound transmission stone inside!” Nangong Qianyu suddenly realized.
“Of course!”
Ye Ming chuckled. “As long as you wear it, no matter what dangerous situation you are in, I can arrive at the first moment. Of course, you can also contact me anytime.”
After hearing this, Nangong Qianyu subconsciously covered the necklace with her hand, her clear, beautiful eyes looking at the man before her, shimmering and reflecting a captivating luster.
At the same time, her heart felt warm.
“Thank you!”
She leaned gently into his embrace, a perfect arc appearing at the corner of her lips.
“Silly girl!”
Ye Ming smiled tenderly, then activated the spatial sound transmission stone, sending a signal to Naini’er.
A moment later.
“Yo! What wind blows our Divine Master here? You actually remember to contact your forgotten subordinate. This truly makes me feel overwhelmed with gratitude?”
Upon connection, a voice laced with grievance instantly entered the ears of Ye Ming and Nangong Qianyu.
Hearing this, Nangong Qianyu looked up at Ye Ming, whose lips were twitching, and felt very puzzled.
Before, she had sensed something was off between Ye Ming and Naini’er. Now, it seemed the reality might be more… stimulating than she had imagined.
“Cough… Cough! Naini’er! How have you been lately?” Ye Ming cleared his throat, feeling somewhat awkward.
“Alas! How could I be well! Here in the Temple of Destiny, ever since the little princess left, I can only face that group of stinky men all day. Life is becoming unbearable.”
At this moment, the voice from the spatial sound transmission stone sounded even more resentful.
However, it was unknown whether the resentment in her tone was deliberately put on by Naini’er or contained a part of genuine emotion.
After all, she was known as the Thousand-Faced God King, and perhaps only Loria, the God King of Wisdom, within the temple could discern some of her true intentions.
As for Ye Ming, it was likely beyond his capability.
“Uh! Naini’er! This… you’ll have to bear with it during this period. I promise you, once I finish handling things here, I will definitely compensate you properly!”
Ye Ming couldn’t guess Naini’er’s intentions, so he could only offer a promise for now.
However, such promises seemed to be becoming too frequent.
“Tch! You men! Always saying one thing and doing another! I haven’t even used the promises you made last time, and now there’s another?”
Naini’er’s tone became a little lower, carrying a hint of melancholy. “We women! Can only work hard and complain silently. Alas… I won’t say anymore!”
“Just say it directly! Why are you looking for me? If there’s nothing, you definitely wouldn’t think of me. I’ve truly understood this!”
This statement rendered Ye Ming speechless.
Especially the trace of sadness revealed in her words, which inexplicably made him feel guilty.
“Naini’er, I… I’m sorry!”
