And threatened Fu Mingcheng, saying he spread false information that severely damaged Jianghu Tong's reputation, expelling him from Jianghu Tong immediately.

After reading this message, Fu Mingcheng realized that Zeng Wentao had already deleted him as a friend, and he could no longer send messages to Zeng Wentao.

"Bad news?" Lu Yu asked.

Fu Mingcheng's anger turned into helplessness, and he said with a bitter smile, "I've been kicked out of Jianghu Tong. Zeng Wentao refuses to hand over the money and even claims you're dead."

Ding ding ding~ "Brother Cheng, what's going on? Why did you leave Jianghu Tong?" Fu Mingcheng's friend messaged him.

Before he could reply, a barrage of messages came in.

A few asked him for reasons, questioning why he left Jianghu Tong, even expressing intentions to clarify the facts to higher-ups.

Another part simply asked, "Is this true?"

"Did you really sell false intel to customers in the name of Jianghu Tong?"

And some even drew a line in the sand.

"Number 77, you're not fit to be a Jianghu person! You should leave Jianghu Tong early, better never show up in the game again."

"Having a colleague like you brings me shame. Don't say you know me!"

"Selfish and unethical, without Jianghu Tong, where would you be today? You've not only betrayed Jianghu Tong's interests but also tarnished its reputation, wrecking everyone's livelihood, bastard!"

...

After scolding him, they immediately deleted Fu Mingcheng as a friend, kicked him out of their contact list, severing ties to show their resolve and superior morality, refusing to associate with a "petty person."

Fu Mingcheng was mentally breaking down, but he didn't respond to anyone, turning off system notifications, sitting in his chair, taking deep breaths to calm himself.

Lu Yu watched this without speaking, quietly sitting, sipping tea, cultivating to increase his spiritual power limit.

After reaching the Qi Sea Realm, Lu Yu's strength was improving every moment, with his spiritual power limit continuously increasing. Actively practicing, his power-up speed would be much faster.

After a while, Fu Mingcheng finally calmed down, cleared his friend list, and messaged those who cared for him, assuring them not to worry, that he was fine.

After doing these things, Fu Mingcheng stood up and bowed deeply to Lu Yu, apologizing sincerely.

"I'm sorry, I might not be able to fulfill my promise to you, but I'll find a way to repay the money I owe you. Please give me some time," Fu Mingcheng said earnestly.

Ten million gold, Fu Mingcheng didn't know how long it would take to gather, but he spoke those words resolutely.

Bang~ The teacup was placed on the table, Lu Yu stood up and said, "No need to repay. Whoever took it, let them cough it up!"

"Do you know that Zeng...what's his name? Whatever he's called, where's your boss? And how strong is he?" Lu Yu asked.

Fu Mingcheng was stunned, instinctively replied, "Zeng Wentao, one of Jianghu Tong's senior figures. He became a Qi Sea Realm Martial Cultivator six months ago, supported by Jianghu Tong's resources, he should have reached high-level Qi Sea Realm by now."

"He's currently undergoing further studies at Beihai Academy, located in Dongyu City. Generally, he stays within the safe confines of Beihai Academy, only leaving under certain circumstances."

"Dongyu City?" Lu Yu searched his memory for the map information he had seen. Dongyu City was also located within Tianfeng Province, very close to its first city—Celestial Wind City.

Lu Yu's eyes lit up and he asked, "If I capture Zeng Wentao and make him declare his powers transferred to you, would it be effective?"

His implicit question was whether the other Jianghu Tong senior figures would recognize such a power transfer.

Fu Mingcheng thought deeply for a moment and replied, "There's an 80% chance the other Jianghu Tong senior figures would recognize it. Actually, the Jianghu Tong senior figures aren't interconnected. Jianghu Tong is more like an organization gathering local forces together."

"It grows by absorbing forces that develop in a region. For most of the Jianghu Tong senior figures, they don't care who controls Tianfeng Province as long as it's beneficial to them."

"And your supply channel for equipment is Jianghu Tong's most advantageous resource," Fu Mingcheng said earnestly.

Lu Yu smiled and said, "That's good. It makes things simple."

He looked at Fu Mingcheng and said, "Can you, through other channels, send a message to Zeng Wentao? Simply tell him that an ancient relic outside Dongyu City has revealed an exceptional spiritual treasure: the Seven-Colored Glazed Tower."
