However, over these years, Inspection Immortal General hadn’t come across anyone ’Prime Material’ enough to invest Samara into, until Deputy Marshal appeared. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

As for whether the Deputy Marshal liked this ’type’ or not... it wouldn’t hurt to try.

Samara was always respectful to the Inspection Immortal General, but there was one thing she would make clear: she was more than willing to outwit the entire Cloudtop Market, even if it meant getting herself injured. But if he expected her to share his bed, he could forget it.

In general, Samara had quite a liking for this Immortal General. He never skimped on his payments, and always took care of matters efficiently. He’d never bothered her over irrelevant matters.

But today, Samara could tell Inspection Immortal General was different. He spoke of his guide, then looked at her coldly. She hadn’t expected such a complication from him after all these years of partnership.

"May I ask..." Samara hesitated, "Would this person you’re speaking of, he isn’t just looking to visit our farm, is he?"

"Tsk—" The Inspection Immortal General gave a dismissive laugh. "Rest assured, neither I nor the ’person’ has any interest in your petty land."

This was Samara’s deepest worry. The know-how to pass through to the farm was their greatest secret. If the person knew the way, would he return with others and seize the farm?

The Inspection Immortal General continued: "You don’t even need to take him to your farm. But you must ensure his safety. He needs your experience, not your combat capabilities."

Samara’s expression changed slightly: "This task would cost my brothers their lives!"

If he only wanted our knowledge, not our battle prowess. The ’person’ has quite some ambition. Once he enters One Heaven, he will roam everywhere, and my brothers would have to pave the way...

The Inspection Immortal General made his point clear: "This is your chance! You and your brothers, do you really want to keep hiding in this Ghost Tower forever?!"

"Giving you a respectable identity and protecting your farm, I’m afraid that’s beyond my power. But this ’individual’ can!"

"Samara, what you need to do is get this ’individual’s’ favor by all means!"

"And if you fail, I still control several other exploration teams. They would all love to have this opportunity."

Samara went pale. Her fear confirmed by one word from the Inspection Immortal General: ’favor.’ His intentions were clear. Miss this opportunity and she’d cut off her alliance with him.

But the temptation of a legal identity was indeed too great. She didn’t have to look to know that when the Inspection Immortal General put forth this condition, her brothers’ eyes were shining with anticipation.

Inspection Immortal General tapped the table: "Right, that ’individual’ is waiting. I dare not let him wait too long. Make your decision now. If you refuse, I will go to the second team immediately."

"Big sis..." One of the older brothers behind her couldn’t help pleading, his voice filled with anticipation. Samara clenched her teeth, "Let’s go, but..." The Inspection Immortal General interrupted her: "No buts!" He was filled with impatience: "You foolish woman, you have no idea what you’re going to miss!"

Inspection Immortal General suddenly looked a little weary. He wasn’t sure if Deputy Marshal would fancy her, especially with all the hesitation. Didn’t she see the head of the Blind Master Courtyard, the respectable Immortal King, almost coming to blows with the Heavenly River Courtyard for the ’individual’s’ favor?

"Let’s go." The Inspection Immortal General didn’t bother to persuade her further. He wanted to get the people and leave as soon as possible so as not to keep Deputy Marshal waiting. As for other matters... Go with the flow. If it worked out, it would increase his favor with Deputy Marshal. If not... Well, a guide would always come in handy.

Samara and her brothers were surprised to see the ’individual’, who was far too young. Was this the high-ranking person the Immortal General was talking about?

Immortals have a sort of "intuition", allowing them to roughly gauge another’s "age" in the Immortal World, similar to how ordinary people gauge age from physical appearance.

They could estimate a range. For example, looking at the ’individual’, they could tell he had ascended less than five years ago.

If they knew the actual number, they would be even more amazed.

However, the Heaven Realm was not like the Lower Realm; they had brains. Seeing such a ’young’ person with a high-ranking Immortal General acting servilely around him, it just exemplified his unusual status.

By the time the ’individual’ had already had two cups of tea, the Inspection Immortal General was, as expected, getting impatient with the long wait. Seeing the ’individual’s’ slightly furrowed brow, the Inspection Immortal General quickly bent over and put on a smile, "I assure you that this group will definitely meet your expectations."

"Let’s go." The ’individual’ showed no reaction and stood up to leave. Inspection Immortal General hurriedly escorted him, continuously assuring him, "Please rest assured, all will be well..."

Sarma and her group saw the Inspection Immortal General, whom they saw as a lofty figure, constantly flattering, yet received nothing but disdain from the ’individual’. This also gave them a clearer understanding of the ’individual’s’ identity and status.

Seeing the giant gap in status, they all kept quiet obediently, and the group of lawless exiles that ruled Cloudtop Market followed behind the ’individual’ like silent cicadas, daring not to make any unnecessary sound.
