At this moment.

The Celestial Path Alliance headquarters.

Inside Yu Qingcang's luxurious office.

Beside Yu Qingcang, Ye Hongyi, Lei Tai, and Liu Xinxin.

There was also a middle-aged man sitting opposite Yu Qingcang with a young girl.

Additionally, a few high combat professionals stood behind them, seemingly as bodyguards.

The girl's appearance was somewhat similar to Cong Yu, even her hairstyle was the same, but her hair was white.

At the same time, her face was as cold as ice.

Truly living up to her name, Cong Shuang!

Beside Cong Yu, was Cong Jixian.

"Unexpectedly, this Hundred Cities League has attracted so much attention, the presidents of the Four Major Guilds have come, how rare." Cong Jixian said with a chuckle.

"Nothing better to do, just here for the fun." Ye Hongyi shrugged and said.

"Indeed, with that mysterious Undead Mage, this national war will have a significant boost, but even so, you four shouldn't be so relaxed; after all, even though the U.S.A has lost many high combat professionals, there are still plenty of Black Dragon Equipment." Cong Jixian continued.

After he finished speaking.

Cong Jixian observed the expressions of the four guild leaders.

Unfortunately, he didn't see the expected anxiety on their faces.

"Cong Jixian, you didn't come all the way to the Celestial Path Alliance headquarters just to say this, did you?" Yu Qingcang changed the topic.

"Neil is dead, you know?" Cong Jixian suddenly said.

"We know, after all, if he disappeared from the global rankings, then naturally he's dead. As for how or where, no one knows." Yu Qingcang said casually.

"Even though Neil is dead, the U.S.A is not to be underestimated, not even with the Undead Mage, we still can't let our guard down." Cong Jixian said.

"We certainly know this." Yu Qingcang stared at Cong Jixian, waiting for him to speak further.

Cong Jixian didn't dilly-dally.

He didn't dwell too much on this topic.

He nodded and said, "My daughter, Cong Shuang, you should know."

Yu Qingcang smiled kindly at Cong Shuang.

Nodding, he said, "Of course, this year's top level and combat power in the Tianfu Society, the Star Mage profession is formidable, she's a good talent."

Upon hearing this.

Cong Jixian laughed heartily with pride.

He said, "Naturally, so I brought Cong Shuang this time to have her acquire the status of a core guild member of the Celestial Path Alliance. After the national war, she can immediately be promoted to a core member of the Celestial Path Alliance."

Oh?

Yu Qingcang raised an eyebrow.

Cong Shuang is currently a provisional member of the Celestial Path Alliance, recommended by the Celestial Path Alliance.

In fact, many hidden professional players participating in the Hundred Cities League were recommended by the Celestial Path Alliance.

After the national war, regardless of their rank in the Hundred Cities League, they will smoothly join the Celestial Path Alliance as full members.

But becoming a core member isn't so simple.

Yu Qingcang immediately shook his head and said, "I can make decisions, but I cannot allow this. Her level is not enough, experience is not enough, and although her talent is good, that doesn't mean anything. In this world, there are hidden talents, many excellent newcomers, I cannot make exceptions for them all to become core members. To become a core member, Cong Shuang still needs to continue working hard."

However, Cong Jixian was not satisfied with this.

"Old Yu, we've known each other for so many years, you know Cong Shuang's profession, talent, everything is one in a million, exceedingly rare! Isn't this enough? Even if she joins the Celestial Path Alliance normally, it will only be a matter of time before Cong Shuang accumulates enough contributions to become a core member." Cong Jixian said.

"You said it yourself, it takes time, and it's a short period of time, so there's no need to rush, it depends on her efforts." Yu Qingcang refused to relent.

"Old Yu, won't you give me this little face? In this Hundred Cities League, Cong Shuang will surely be the champion, is this not enough qualification?" Cong Jixian raised an eyebrow and said.

"If she can become the champion, I might consider it. But unfortunately, as I've said before, the Hundred Cities League is full of hidden talents, becoming the champion isn't just about saying so." Yu Qingcang said casually.

Not mentioning this was alright.

Once mentioned, Cong Shuang was even less qualified!

Lu Ran is the true champion!

This is an undeniable fact, for Cong Shuang to become champion, unless Lu Ran drops dead on the spot!

"Are you kidding? With my daughter's level, profession, combat talent, do you honestly believe she can't win this mere Hundred Cities League?" Cong Jixian looked incredulous.

"I do believe it, and in all likelihood, Cong Shuang is not going to win, remember, in all likelihood, I've said it before, the Hundred Cities League is full of hidden talents." Yu Qingcang said earnestly.

After saying this.

Obviously, Yu Qingcang knows that there are some very powerful newcomers in the Hundred Cities League, at least in his mind, not weaker than Cong Shuang.

But whether Cong Jixian couldn't hear it or was overly confident in Cong Shuang.

He immediately stood up.

Angrily said, "Nonsense! In that case, how about we make a bet? If Cong Shuang wins the championship, you must promise to admit Cong Shuang as a full member of the Celestial Path Alliance after the national war, how about that?"

"No problem." Unexpectedly, Yu Qingcang agreed so readily this time.

It even left Cong Jixian slightly taken aback.

"However... since it's a bet, what if Cong Shuang doesn't win the championship?" Yu Qingcang lazily said.

He even began to feel what Lu Ran experienced when betting with Song Xiaoya and others.

Darn it, this isn't betting.

This is flat out taking from the rich!

Guaranteed profit!

Because with Lu Ran around, the champion is certainly Lu Ran, this bet cannot be lost!

"If I lose, the Cong Family will provide three billion gold coins as resource supply to the Celestial Path Alliance, no, five billion! The Cong Family will put in five billion!" Cong Jixian gritted his teeth and said.

A hefty wager!

It seems they are genuinely confident in Cong Shuang.

Even Cong Shuang, sitting next to Cong Jixian, had a hint of pride on her face.

Understandably.

As the number one genius of the Tianfu Society, Cong Shuang's pride is certainly justified!

"Alright, it's settled then." Yu Qingcang agreed without even thinking about it.

This wave.

The Celestial Path Alliance gets five billion without effort, this is just too sweet!

And Cong Jixian, had thought Yu Qingcang wouldn't agree so easily, but with just a few words, it was decided?

What's going on!

Relying on his confidence in Cong Shuang, Cong Jixian still nodded and said, "Alright, it's settled then, it's just a three-day competition, the Cong Family can wait."

After saying that, he left with Cong Shuang and the bodyguards.

Exiting the Celestial Path Alliance.

Cong Jixian suppressed a strange feeling in his heart and said, "No problem at all, Xiao Shuang, during the competition, don't hold back, you must win the championship!"

Cong Shuang solemnly nodded.

"By the way, that girl Yu, haven't seen her for a few days." Cong Jixian casually asked.

"She seems to be spending time on missions at the Professional Alliance Guild of Undead Mages recently." Cong Shuang recalled and said.

"That's complete nonsense, does the Cong Family need her meager mission rewards?" Cong Jixian said speechlessly: "Forget it, don't worry about that girl, let her play. Cong Shuang, I'll take you to the family warehouse to select suitable equipment, prepare fully for tomorrow's Hundred Cities League."
