I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 503, Section 2.1: Discussion
"Isaiah? The one who notified us to attend the Crown Prince's meeting?" Mu Yegui asked thoughtfully after taking a bite of a strawberry.

Ming Jin nodded, gestured with her hand, and said, "Isaiah has a pair of extremely special eyes, which is an innate ability. Even after coming here, they have not been weakened. Based on my speculation, something strange may have happened to him, or he may have been used for experiments."

He can know what happened to a person just by looking at them. The more carefully and clearly he looks, the more thoroughly he understands. So now he habitually covers his eyes with his hair to blur his vision.

After all, he's completely incapable of fighting; being blindfolded is like being blind, he can't see the way at all. Although he can't see the future like me, he can use clues to scientifically deduce it, with an accuracy rate of almost 80%.

Isaiah ranked second in the Crown Prince's intelligence rankings, second only to Daolin, which shows just how intelligent he was.

At this point, Mingjin couldn't help but mutter to herself, "If I hadn't held him back because of Xi, I might have surpassed him..."

Mingxi rolled his eyes at Mingjin. He was sorry, but he was dragging his team down with his intelligence. He was thinking that if Mingjin hadn't been dragging his team down with his strength, he could have gotten into the top three. As a result, he was overshadowed by Xinbai, that stupid cat. He felt frustrated just thinking about it.

Mingjin took a sip of milk tea and then said, "Isaiah is a member of the Strategist Association. Because he has no combat ability, he is well protected by them. Generally speaking, you can't find him by going directly; you can only find him by talking to higher-ups."

As the Conquerors' Association grew too large, the president and vice president had differing policies, which eventually led to the formation of two factions: the president's faction, the Horus Party, and the vice president's faction, the Water Spirit Party.

I suggested bypassing Horus and going directly to Shuiqi. After all, Shuiqi's faction currently holds the upper hand in the two-faction war. Although Horus is still the chairman, Shuiqi holds the most power. Most importantly, Shuiqi has a good relationship with Isaiah, and he's a staunch Shuiqi supporter.

He smiled at Mu Yegui and added, "Given how familiar you are with Shui Qi, I think even if he doesn't want to lend people, he'll have no choice but to agree."

Although the most likely scenario is that they will have to agree under duress or force.

Mingxi immediately understood the hidden meaning in Mingjin's words, and curled her lips in disdain, saying, "Don't you guys have that regularly held dessert lovers' club? Shuiqi should be considered your friend, right? How can you betray your friend like that?"

Every now and then, Mingjin would sneak out to eat sweets behind his back. Although they were twins, it didn't mean they would have the same tastes. At least he didn't like sweets.

It's impossible for a situation to arise where Mingxi must know everyone Mingjin knows, or Mingjin must know everyone Mingxi knows.

Ultimately, they are two different individuals with freedom of action, and they won't always be together. At most, their social circles overlap by as much as 99%, but there is still at least 1% difference, which belongs to their private space, and Shui Qi is within that 1%.

Mingxi felt that Shuiqi was not trustworthy, but he trusted Mingjin, so he let him be.

Seeing a passing waiter, Mingxi waved and said, "Here, I'd like to order!"

Ming Jin tapped the table lightly and said to Mu Yegui, "I'm trying to build up his good reputation. Shui Qi is a weirdo who has made countless enemies. I've never seen anyone so brazen in making enemies."

“Indeed, it has always been Shui Qi who took the initiative.” Mu Yegui nodded in agreement.

Mingxi, sitting next to her, took the menu from the waiter, propped her chin up with one hand, and began to flip through it.

Ming Jin sighed, looked down at the milk tea in her cup, and said softly, "I suppose even the most hateful person has a pitiable side. Because Shui Qi has many enemies, aside from the rule that members of the same association cannot be enemies, there are only two people who are truly willing to be his friends and will not betray him: one is me, and the other is Isaiah."

He was simply too lazy to make enemies because he was a dying man; he just wanted to remain neutral and didn't want to get involved in any struggles.

“Actually, if there weren’t a time difference, I would like to go myself, but unfortunately I can’t take the risk.” That’s why I’m relying on Isaiah. That instance is not something that a few people can conquer; it requires teamwork. “Jin, in the future you see, is Shui Qi the only option that you agree to?” Mu Yegui asked.

“The future is ever-changing, and generally there are three possible scenarios,” Ming Jin said slowly, holding up three fingers.

"In the first scenario, Shuiqi agrees to lend the man; in the second scenario, Shuiqi refuses, in which case we need to approach Isaiah himself; in the third scenario, Shuiqi agrees but will have others accompany him. But in any of these scenarios, a certain price must be paid, which is the so-called reward."

Mingxi casually flipped through the menu in her hand, showing no intention of making a decision, while the waiter at the table waited with a stiff smile.

"Sir, have you made up your mind?" the waiter asked with a smile.

"Not yet, soon. I'm hesitating between Black Forest and Ruby?" Mingxi looked up at Mingjin sitting opposite her, then at Mu Yegui beside her, and asked, "Which one would you choose?"

This is Mu Yegui: "Ruby".

This is Mingjin: "Black Forest".

Mingxi: "..." This is as good as saying nothing.

His lips twitched slightly as he said, "One of each, and then a cup of hot milk and a Celia tea."

"Okay, please wait a moment." The waiter wrote down Mingxi's order in his notebook and said softly.

He looked up, bewildered, at the two people who were staring at him simultaneously, and subconsciously said, "You two continue."

The two turned their heads and continued their previous conversation.

"In other words, no matter what, we have to go through Shuiqi first," Mu Yegui said in a low voice.

“That’s right. If you explain the reason to him clearly, I don’t think he will refuse. He might just take advantage of you a little.” Ming Jin said helplessly.

"Pushing his luck? I think you're exaggerating. He's clearly asking for an exorbitant amount," Mingxi sneered.

"I'll send Shui Qi a text message to arrange a time."

Mingjin's phone vibrated slightly, and she tapped on the message that had arrived. It read: "From [Shui Qi]: Die."

Ming Jin's expression stiffened for a moment, then her smile widened, and she said in an incredibly kind tone, "Huh? Did you send this to the wrong person? You're really something, Shui Qi, you've got guts."

Mingxi shivered, leaned close to Mu Yegui's ear, and whispered, "Actually, she's furious."

Mu Yegui nodded. The angrier Ming Jin was, the more harmless her smile became. Mu Yin knew this all too well, having witnessed it in Mu Yin's memories.
