"What does the person want to discuss?" Fade continued to ask.
Jovian's expression changed slightly. He paused for a moment before continuing, "Perhaps the person wants to discuss the reconstruction of tombs and the donation of resources."
Fade was stunned when he heard this. Soon, he realized something.
He said in a deep voice, "Does this mean that someone is unhappy with Mulji's order and wants to collude with you to go against him?"
Jovian nodded and said, "Yes, you are correct."
"After all, Mulji made a hasty decision. This is a very aggressive way to seek funding. It's natural that everyone wants to go against him."
Fade continued to ask, "Are you sure you can trust this person who wrote this to you? What happens if it's a trap?"
Jovian said, "It's very unlikely that it's a trap."
"Because the flower imprinted on this paper is the hyacinth flower. It represents the royal family of Great Hsia Domain. The symbols on it is a type of secret language that was originally used to communicate within the royal family."
"There are not many people within the domain who knows this. The other party is very likely to be a member of the royal family or perhaps one of the powerful families."
After a moment of silence, Fade asked Jovian, "What do you think? Are you going to meet up with this person?"
"This...." Jovian hesitated, unable to make a decision right away.
After all, he definitely did not want to give his resources to Mulji.
However, he knew that there would be serious consequences if Mulji found out that he went to a secret meeting.
Therefore, Jovian did not know whether to accept the invitation or not.
"Let's head back to the hotel first!" Seeing this, Fade did not continue to ask.
He wanted to discuss this matter with Nile. After all, he was in charge of the Thunder Plan. Therefore, he was the best person to make the decision.
The carriage soon arrived back at the hotel.
Fade immediately went straight to the room to find Nile and told him about the invitation.
Nile thought for a moment, then slammed his palm on the table. He looked at Fade and said, "He has to accept the invitation."
"Huh?" Fade was slightly surprised.
After all, there was definitely a risk of being exposed if Jovian agreed to the secret meeting. If Mulji did find out about this meeting, not only Jovian would be in trouble, Nile and Fade's identities would be exposed, and the Thunder Plan would also be affected.
Therefore, in terms of safety, they should not accept the invitation.
However, Nile seemed to have different ideas. He saw through Fade's doubts and explained, "Yes, for the sake of our safety, we should not participate."
"However, this is also an opportunity."
"Regardless if this is a trap or not, those who attend this meeting are clearly dissatisfied with Mulji."
"If we can use this opportunity to form a collusion with them. This will give us a confidence boost in dealing with Mulji. Besides, once he's gone, it will be easier for us to control the chaos."
Fade hadn't thought of this. Nile was already planning to take charge of Great Hsia Domain. He was looking at the long term picture.
"But, of course, we should be careful. After all, it may also be a trap." Nile added, "So, we have to attend this secret meeting, but we have to use the Appearance Transformation. We must not expose our true identities. Jovian cannot attend this meeting."
Fade nodded. Then, he said, "I'll go."
After all, he possessed the Six Arts Book, which he obtained from Haykal, the grandson of the governor of Great Song Domain and one of the skills in the book was the Appearance Transformation. Fade had not used it yet and this was the perfect opportunity to use it.
Nile was not pretentious. He nodded and said, "Alright then. You may attend the secret meeting."
"You have to be careful. Your safety have to be your priority."
This place was like a deep valley.
In the middle of the valley, there was a three-story wooden building. Fade could vaguely see that there were figures in it.
So, he walked towards the wooden building.
An old monk in a kasaya emerged from within and said, "Welcome."
"Greetings." Fade nodded gently and entered the wooden building.
In front of him was a huge Buddha statue, which was as tall as the building.
In other words, this wooden building was built around the Buddha statue itself.
There were about 12 people in the building. Some of them came in groups, while most of them came alone. This was evident as they did not communicate with the others.
When they saw Fade, they all turned to look at him, studying him.
Seeing this, Fade nodded slightly to them. Then, he found an empty seat and sat down quietly.
It was obvious that these people here were invited as well.
However, at a glance, he noticed the strangeness of the appearance of the people here.
It seemed that everyone had the same idea as Nile. Many people chose to disguise themselves to come to this meeting.
However, most of the people present only changed their physical features. Although their auras were covered by some fragrance, it was difficult to hide their identities completely.
Therefore, after careful investigation, Fade could sense several familiar aura. They should be acquaintances he had met in the hotel in the past few days.
Fade, on the other hand, had used the Appearance Transformation skill in the Six Arts Book. He had transformed himself into an ordinary passerby he had randomly found on the street, so the risk of being exposed was not high.
