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

Chapter 649, Section 2.4: Cooperation
"So, the reason you specifically called us out can't be as simple as just going shopping, right?" Dao Lin stirred the ice in his cola and looked up at the girl at the opposite table.

"Have you been discovered?" Mu Yegui blinked her cool silver eyes, casually unwrapped the hamburger, and slightly opened her mouth to reveal two sharp little tiger teeth.

"You wouldn't come looking for us if you had nothing to do," Dao Lin said helplessly, rubbing his forehead.

Ling Tong carried the tray over and sat down next to Dao Lin, facing Mu Ye Gui.

He frowned and looked around, finding that there were no other guests besides them.

"The area has been cleared," Mu Yegui said softly.

Ling Tong was slightly taken aback.

"Arrogance?" Daolin asked.

“I don’t know what Xie Er is afraid of. Every time, he clears the area in advance to make sure no outsiders can get close to me. Not only that, he also sends soldiers in civilian clothes to hide around outside the door.” Mu Yegui took a bite of his hamburger, his cold silver eyes glancing at some people pretending to read newspapers by the street lamps outside the window, before turning his gaze back to Ling Tong’s plate.

Dao Lin: "..."

Ling Tong: "..."

The young man sitting on the bench outside the window seemed to notice the gaze coming from inside the store. He slightly raised his eyes, removed the sunglasses covering his eyes, and revealed his blood-red eyes.

A nonchalant smile appeared on his handsome face, subtly revealing a hint of danger.

"Ahem, Jafar's here too." Daolin coughed lightly, picked up the cola on the table, and took a sip.

“This is mine,” Ling Tong reminded him.

"Cough cough cough!" Dao Lin covered his mouth and coughed even louder.

Ling Tong looked at Dao Lin in silence for a few seconds before slowly saying, "...I've given it to you, but I haven't drunk it yet."

With cool, silver eyes fixed on the two, Mu Yegui said softly, "Lanlos is not in the Kingdom of the Unbelievable."

“He…” Dao Lin wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, frowned slightly, and hesitated.

"Although we don't know where he is, at the same time, Mr. Adele and his aide, Don Shuna, disappeared from the castle in the fairy tale kingdom. Currently, the other five lords, except for Sloth and Wrath, are searching for their whereabouts, but with little success." Mu Yegui reached out and picked up a crispy French fry and put it in his mouth.

"You heard it from Pride, didn't you?" At least among the players and even the Crown Prince, there was absolutely no information about the Seven Deadly Sins Lords.

"Hmm. Daolin probably wants to know about laziness, so he called you all to the Royal City. The Crown Prince's Gathering Place... isn't a good place to whisper." Mu Yegui tapped the '3' star hair clip in her hair and said softly.

In that instant, the space subtly shifted, and the three of them seemed to be in the cosmos. However, after Mu Yegui lowered his hand, the surrounding scenery returned to the fast food restaurant.

"Who are you on guard against?" Dao Lin asked, his brows furrowed.

“Everyone except you,” Mu Yegui said softly. “Actually, we could have added Shui Qi and Isaiah, but they belong to the Strategist Association. Including them would make us too conspicuous and arouse Xiao Jin's suspicion, so we simply excluded them.” “Not even Ming Jin?”

"As fellow prophets, Xiao Jin is the one that Lanlos is paying the most attention to, and Xiao Jin is number three. Within three months, Lanlos will definitely take action against Xiao Jin."

“Ming Jin said he has three months left, could it be…” Ling Tong suddenly realized.

Dao Lin stood up with a grim expression and said, "Lanlos wants to seize Ming Jin's prophetic abilities!"

Mu Yegui nodded and continued, "Xiao Jin's death was a natural death, and according to the rules, she cannot be resurrected. Therefore, if he wants to obtain Xiao Jin's prophetic abilities, he must do so before Xiao Jin's death."

“I’ve checked all the items, and there isn’t one that can steal other people’s abilities. How could Lanlos possibly do that? There’s no title for Sloth that can be used to steal other people’s abilities either. Or perhaps…” Dao Lin’s brows furrowed deeper as he murmured to himself.

“Just because he can’t do it doesn’t mean others can’t. Do you remember what Xiao Jin said about the Kingdom having a set of rules and templates, which can be used to obtain titles, just like the privileges of our Crown Prince title? Laziness is indeed not allowed, but there is one other person who can.” Mu Ye lowered his eyes and said slowly.

“Greed…” Dao Lin moved his lips, then suddenly thought of someone.

“That’s right, greed—Shu Ming. Because of his inherent greed, he has the right to plunder anyone’s possessions and even abilities. The essence of greed lies in plunder, an insatiable desire to acquire material things. Anything that can be seen and felt can be taken away by him, and the ability to predict the future is naturally one of them.” Mu Yegui paused, then added, “Lanlos and Shu Ming have cooperated.”

“Mingjin is our eyes. Once her ability to foresee the future is taken away, we become blind. In the end, we can only rely on you, the ‘beacon.’ At this point, her goal becomes even clearer. If something happens to you, the already unstable structure of the Crown Prince’s faction will crumble and scatter like loose sand in an instant. Therefore, I have a suggestion: let Ling Tong be the commander.”

"I! I can't do it..." Ling Tong looked up at Mu Yegui, then lowered her head again, apologizing.

"Ji Qiu was able to become the Crown Prince of the Empire at the age of eight not only because he was outstanding, but also because he was confident. Tong, as his younger brother, the second prince of the empire is overshadowed by the Crown Prince not because you lack ability, but because you are insecure." Mu Yegui sat down on the side of the table at some point, stroking Ling Tong's face with one hand and removing his mask with the other, revealing his stunningly beautiful face.

“Ling Tong, I shouldn’t call you Ji Tong. Your Highness, the Second Prince of the Empire, you should raise your head and look at the world. If you just look down, all you’ll see is a barren ground. Only by looking up can you see a vast, clear sky and free-flying birds.”

Ling Tong's lips moved slightly, her golden-orange eyes quietly gazing at those cold, silver vertical pupils, her eyes filled with a hint of struggle and longing.

"Mu Yegui...?" Dao Lin looked up at those silver vertical pupils and asked uncertainly.

She put down her hand, picked up a French fry, and looked at Dao Lin with a slight smile, saying, "I am Mu Yegui." But not the Mu Yegui who could only read partial memories.

"You'd better think carefully about what I just said. I don't have much time. If I stay out too long, it will arouse that guy's suspicion." Mu Ye lowered his eyes, his silver vertical pupils flashing with a hint of cold killing intent, but it disappeared in an instant.

"However, I don't think it will be too long before we officially meet. We can introduce ourselves properly then." She gave the two of them a deep look, then jumped off the table and turned to walk towards the door.

The space flickered for a moment, then returned to normal.

As usual, there is a lot of information and foreshadowing. This chapter reveals Ling Tong's identity, but in fact, there were already enough hints before, it was almost as if they were just going to say directly that Ling Tong is the Crown Prince's younger brother.

The events described in these three chapters occurred at the same time.
