Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 775 - 398: Sitting in the Well and Viewing the Sky_3

Watching his demeanor, Lu Yu smiled faintly, feeling a sense of how quickly people can change.

Seeing Lu Yu standing at the door, Fu Mingcheng subconsciously quickened his pace. But then, many thoughts crossed his mind, causing him to slow down again. He didn't want Lu Yu to know how anxious he was and how much he needed his help.

"Brother Lu, you're here. Come upstairs quickly, I've already prepared the banquet, just waiting for you to take your seat." Fu Mingcheng spoke to Lu Yu as if meeting an old friend, even giving Lu Yu a friendly pat on the shoulder.

Lu Yu looked at him and smiled, not caring about his attitude, and replied, "Hmm."

Then he headed upstairs. Seeing Lu Yu going up, Fu Mingcheng quickly followed, walking side by side with him. Fu Mingcheng felt slightly uncomfortable with Lu Yu's indifferent reaction, considering the City Lord of Beifeng City smiles and greets him now.

However, thinking about his current need for Lu Yu, Fu Mingcheng had to suppress his dissatisfaction.

He wasn't concerned about Lu Yu's personal strength but about the force behind him. As long as the Divine Weapon Pavilion used a bit of its power, it could easily help him through his current difficulties.

As for Lu Yu, Fu Mingcheng had no idea where Lu Yu had been over the past year or so and only occasionally heard bits and pieces about him, not knowing much about his capabilities.

After they left, the players in the hall immediately started discussing who this person was that the owner of the Celestial Immortal Guest Restaurant would welcome personally.

Most of the players on the first floor entered the game later and didn't know about Lu Yu. However, players who had entered the game before the demon crisis in the real world and reached Beifeng City would know Lu Yu's name.

After all, back then, Lu Yu was the most prominent player in Beifeng City, without question.

Bang~ The sound of a wine glass being slammed onto the table drowned out all the discussions. A young man took a sip of wine and said, "He's the person behind Boss Fu. How do you think Fu Mingcheng got to where he is today? It's all because he's standing behind him."

Upon hearing this, everyone gathered around the speaker, curiously probing about Lu Yu's identity, speculating that Lu Yu was a real-world power base controller.

"Move aside, move aside... Don't talk nonsense here. Quickly throw this drunkard out." Fu Mingcheng's subordinates came over to disperse the crowd and forcefully dragged the speaker out of the Celestial Immortal Guest Restaurant.

The man didn't struggle, knowing it was futile to resist.

After being thrown out of the restaurant, he turned and entered a small alley. A few of Fu Mingcheng's men followed him into the alley, but after turning a corner, they found he had vanished.

The man who had been drinking squatted on the rooftop, watching those men leave the alley in confusion. He smiled at the sky and vanished from the rooftop.

He was once a member of Jianghu Intelligence, skilled in tracking and gathering information; originally part of Fu Mingcheng's faction, he was later suppressed and driven out by Fu Mingcheng.

Now, with Jianghu Intelligence at its peak, how could his life as a discarded member be comfortable?

Even casually mentioning the truths of the past could trigger Fu Mingcheng's men to eject him. Now that he revealed Fu Mingcheng's deeply hidden secret, he had certainly earned Fu Mingcheng's animosity.

But he didn't care; he knew Lu Yu's identity better than Fu Mingcheng.

A few months ago, he personally witnessed the City Lord of Beifeng City, the Patriarch of the Ling family, and the Deputy Pavilion Master of a branch of the Divine Weapon Pavilion grovel before Lu Yu.

As long as he gained Lu Yu's support, he could be the next Fu Mingcheng.

Lu Yu and Fu Mingcheng sat alone in a room, with no one else watching. Fu Mingcheng immediately displayed a pleading demeanor, serving tea and pouring water for Lu Yu.

"Brother Lu, you must help me this time."

"Oh~ Why don't you tell me what's going on first?" Lu Yu casually picked up chopsticks and started eating, listening to Fu Mingcheng as he spoke.

Seeing Lu Yu eat and listen, completely disregarding him, Fu Mingcheng paused, adjusted his mindset, and began to recount the issues he faced.
