In Tian Dan's view, letting Lin Zhao join the Coffin Gate was a great favor, and he should be grateful and immediately express his loyalty. But she didn't expect Lin Zhao to open his mouth and say, "We've already lost."

Tian Dan roared, "What did you say? Are you crazy?"

Still not appeased after scolding, Tian Dan took a step forward, raising her hand to slap Lin Zhao. Zi Wan'er took a step ahead and stopped her, "What are you doing? Stand properly."

Zi Wan'er said gently, "Lin Zhao, can you tell me why we lost?"

Lin Zhao said, "According to Miss Tian's orders, I cut off Li Po's business..."

Lin Zhao explained the whole story before continuing, "According to the rules of the Jianghu (martial world), squeezing out Li Po is cutting off his financial path and breaking the rules. Unless we invite Li Po back, we will lose this duel no matter how we look at it."

"You good-for-nothing!" Tian Dan flew into a rage. "It's true that I told you to suppress Li Po, but did I tell you to steal his business? You're useless yourself, and you dare to push the blame onto me. Are you trying to rebel?"

"Xiao Dan!" Zi Wan'er said sharply, "You're not allowed to speak."

Tian Dan said, "Senior Sister, what's wrong with me? Am I wrong? Lin Zhao messed things up. Can't I be angry?"

"Besides, who's going to beg Li Po to come back? Me?"

"If I go, what if Li Po makes things difficult for me? You don't know, Li Po is a terrible person. He'll do anything for profit."

"Senior Sister..." Tian Dan grabbed Zi Wan'er's hand and acted coquettishly. "If you don't help me, I'll really lose."

Zi Wan'er sighed before saying to Lin Zhao, "Lin Zhao, I'm afraid you'll have to worry about this matter. You go find Li Po and bring him back to this mission. If necessary, you can concede some benefits."

Lin Zhao said in a deep voice, "How many benefits can I concede? And what kind of benefits?"

"Does that even need asking?" Tian Dan said, "How much you concede is all a matter for your Spirit Coffin lineage. Just go and negotiate."

Zi Wan'er pushed Tian Dan aside, took out a box from her body, and said, "This item is our bottom line. I believe it can move Li Po."

"No!" Tian Dan said anxiously, "This is a treasure passed down by our master, and everyone only has one. How can we give it to Li Po? Absolutely not!"

Zi Wan'er said in a deep voice, "Shut your mouth. I'm in charge of this matter now."

Lin Zhao took the box and said, "If Li Po is willing to come back, will I be in charge of the whole mission?"

"Of course!" While Zi Wan'er was speaking, she didn't forget to glare at Tian Dan. Her meaning was very clear; she didn't want Tian Dan to say something like, "Why should you be in charge?"

Zi Wan'er said, "You can be fully responsible for this mission. If you need anything, you can ask me, and I will do my best."

Lin Zhao glanced at Tian Dan imperceptibly. Zi Wan'er immediately said, "Xiao Dan and Da Bing are seriously injured, so I have to take them back to recuperate. I'll leave things here to you. I believe the most outstanding disciple of the Spirit Coffin lineage is second to none."

Zi Wan'er also knew that she couldn't leave Tian Dan behind; she would only be a hindrance to Lin Zhao. Once someone interfered, even the strongest expert would find it difficult to display their strengths.

Lin Zhao nodded, "I'll do my best! I need to prepare. Tomorrow morning, I'll go to Liangjie Tang (Two Realms Hall)."

"No! Go now!" Tian Dan ordered, "I'm asking you to take action, what do you mean by hesitating?"

When Lin Zhao looked at Zi Wan'er, he found that she didn't speak, so he could only explain, "What I can think of, Li Po must also be able to think of. He's waiting for me to go back right now."

"Our mission has no deadline, so why don't we drag it out for a while and exhaust the other party's patience. That way, it will be more convenient to negotiate."

Zi Wan'er smiled with satisfaction, "Then prepare well, we'll leave first."

When Zi Wan'er was leaving with Tian Dan, Tian Dan transmitted her voice to Lin Zhao, "You're only allowed to win, not lose! Otherwise, be careful I skin you alive. Also, I don't care what method you use, you're not allowed to hand over Senior Sister's things, or don't blame me for being impolite."

Lin Zhao silently sneered at the backs of the two, and quickly disappeared into the night.

However, Lin Zhao didn't come to me the next morning as he said he would. Instead, he turned around and went to Liangjie Tang.

When Lin Zhao saw me, the first thing he did was put the secret treasure Zi Wan'er had given her and a voice recorder in front of me, "Hall Master Li, before we talk, I'd like to ask you to listen to something first."

I opened the voice recorder, and it contained the conversation between Lin Zhao and Zi Wan'er.

I listened quietly before looking at Lin Zhao with interest, "You carry a voice recorder with you?"

Lin Zhao smiled, "This is specially prepared for Tian Dan. Several elders in our sect have been wavering on the question of whether to return to the Coffin Gate. I think they still have illusions about the Coffin Gate. I brought the voice recorder to extinguish their illusions."

I put down the voice recorder and said, "So? What do you want to do?"
