But before they could say anything else, they heard Master Long continue speaking to them:
"Actually, there's another reason why I don't want to see you. I don't know if I can help you. I have my own difficulties. You know that I'm not in close contact with the organization. Moreover, with recent events, many people are wary of me. I hope you can understand my predicament."
Upon hearing these words, Qianhua and Ram frowned slightly, but she quickly said to Lord Long:
“Master Long understands, we all understand. We know that we were wrong, which is why we wanted to make amends and that's why we came to you. We know that only you can handle this matter.”
After saying these words, a hint of expectation flashed in the eyes of the two men. Seeing this, Master Long frowned slightly.

In truth, he didn't want to agree to this at all, but just as he was about to refuse, he heard Chika and Ram say to him again:
“We know this is a difficult request, but we beg you to help us. If you help us this time, we will go through fire and water for you, even if it costs us our lives.”
.... ........ ...
Upon hearing these words, a hint of admiration flashed in Master Long's eyes. Indeed, there were very few young people like them at this stage, so Master Long did not want to see the two of them looking disappointed.
Moreover, Chika and Ram were so earnest that he couldn't bear not to help. Realizing this, he sighed softly and then said to Chika and Ram:
"Since you've put it that way, I can't bear to let you make a wasted trip. But I can't guarantee that I can definitely help you. However, I'm willing to give it a try for your sake."
Upon hearing these words, a hint of joy flashed in their eyes, and they hurriedly said to Master Long: Fan.
Chapter 205 Contacting Xia Yan
“We know we understand, but rest assured, we appreciate your kindness this time. If you ever need our help in the future, please don’t hesitate to ask.”
Upon hearing this, a smile slowly spread across Long Ye's face. He had already agreed to help and give it a try. So Xiao Huang didn't waste any time and quickly contacted the organization.
The organization's member "483" knew about Master Long and was aware of his field of vision. So when Master Long proposed to cooperate with the organization, some members of the organization were eager to work with him.
However, some people within the organization are still wary because recent events have made them hesitant to discuss this cooperation.
Moreover, since their communication this time was conducted by phone, once the members of the organization realized this, they no longer concealed it, and Master Long directly said to him:
"We know your character well, Mr. Long, and we would love to cooperate with you. However, due to recent events, we cannot discuss this matter. We are in a difficult position, and we hope you can understand."
Upon hearing this, a knowing glint flashed in Master Long's eyes. He understood the organization's desire to cooperate with him and knew there was a chance. After a moment's thought, he said to the people on the other side:
"We don't need to rush this matter. I contacted you this time simply to express my wishes. I also know about your difficulties because of recent events. But don't worry, since I have already expressed my willingness, it's better to be patient than to rush things."
Upon hearing these words, a keen eye immediately flashed in the eyes of those who arrived there. This was something they hadn't expected at all. But then they heard Master Long speak to them again:
"But now that I have expressed my willingness, I hope that both sides will show sincerity. Since we are going to cooperate, there will naturally be negotiations and discussions. However, I am old and not in good health. How about this, I will send someone down to organize the negotiations later. I hope you will treat me well."
Upon hearing this, the person on the other end readily agreed, quickly saying yes. After discussing other matters, the two hung up the phone.
Seeing this scene, Qianhua and Ram also showed a hint of joy in their eyes, and then hurriedly said to Lord Long:
"Thank you so much, Mr. Long. We don't know how to thank you enough."
The smile on Master Long's lips deepened, and then he hurriedly said to the two of them:
"Alright, alright, stop with the thanks. Now that I've promised them Xia Yan to organize the negotiations, I'm leaving everything to you. Get in touch with him and get ready."
Upon hearing this, a hint of agreement flashed in the eyes of the two of them. Without wasting any time, they hurriedly contacted Xia Yan and told him everything about the matter.
Upon hearing these words, Xia Yan's eyes flashed with shock, as if he had not expected this, but he also fully agreed with Qian Hua and Ram's actions.
Now that they have such an opportunity, they must seize it.
Chapter 206 Entering the Organization
Xia Yan knew perfectly well that the only way to resolve this matter was to ask Master Long for help. However, he was also extremely shocked, never expecting that Qianhua and Ram would actually go to Master Long.
Now that the matter was settled, he had no time to hesitate and hurried to Master Long's house. Master Long glanced at Xia Yan, a meaningful look flashing in his eyes, and then said to him:
"You already know what happened, right? I believe I don't need to say more. We've already contacted the organization, but how to handle the specifics of this matter is up to you."
Upon hearing these words, a serious look flashed in Xia Yan's eyes, and then he nodded firmly to Master Long.
Then he said, "You're right. I'm very clear about this matter. Don't worry. I will definitely remember your help this time."
A hint of admiration flashed in Long Ye's eyes. He knew very well that Xia Yan, Qian Hua, and Ram were already very outstanding compared to their peers.
So this time he was very willing to help them. Meanwhile, Chika and Ram, who were on the side, saw this scene and discussed some other things with Natsuhiko. They did not waste any more time.
After making some preparations, Xia Yan went to the organization for negotiations. The organization had already arranged for people to meet him, so as soon as Xia Yan arrived, someone came out to greet him.
Because Xia Yan was representing Master Long's side, the people in the organization treated him with great respect upon seeing him. As soon as Xia Yan arrived, a row of men in black stood there, respectfully nodding to him and saying:
"The people in the organization already knew you were coming, so they're waiting for you here. Just follow me."
Upon hearing these words, a strange glint flashed in Xia Yan's eyes. He looked the group of people in front of him up and down, and then nodded to them.
Xia Yan hadn't expected that after he adopted the name of "Master Long," the people in the organization would treat him with such respect, especially considering he had just been released from there a few days ago.
Despite thinking this to himself, Xia Yan continued walking, following the men in black into the organization.
The men in black led Xia Yan into a house, where he saw a row of people already waiting. Their expressions were serious, but their attitude towards Xia Yan was relatively polite.
Upon seeing this scene, a hint of wariness flashed in Xia Yan's eyes, because his purpose in coming here was very simple, not to mention that Master Long had acted as a go-between for him and his group.
Therefore, Xia Yan understood perfectly well that even if the people in the organization thought of Master Long, they wouldn't dare to act rashly. Realizing this, Xia Yan sat down on a stool to the side under the guidance of the other men in black.
Seeing this scene, the others' gazes deepened, because Xia Yan's composure made them feel a little uneasy.
They were fully aware of Long Ye's true status there. Realizing this, they exchanged glances, then said to Xia Yan:
Chapter 207 Help
"I believe that when you came this time, Master Long had already explained everything to you. I hope we can talk straight and frankly, instead of beating around the bush, which is not good for either of us."
Upon hearing this, the little blind man frowned slightly, but this suited him perfectly. He composed himself and addressed the people before him:
"As you all know, I'm here representing Master Long. You're all familiar with Master Long's status, so I won't beat around the bush. My purpose here is very simple: the first thing is to seek cooperation with you."
After saying this, Xia Yan glanced at the expressions of everyone present, and then spoke again:
"But I believe you are also very clear in your hearts that if we are going to cooperate, then we should work together for a win-win situation. I don't want you to do things behind our backs that harm others without benefiting yourselves. Moreover, you know about what has happened recently, so we have to be on guard."
Those present frowned slightly, but did not refute Xia Yan's words, because they all knew that the recent events had had a huge impact, to the point that they had to tone down their activities recently.
However, since Master Long has now sent Xia Yan to discuss cooperation with them, they naturally have to show their sincerity. But the people present looked at each other, and a hint of hesitation flashed in their eyes.
Seeing this, Xia Yan didn't urge them, but waited quietly to the side. After a while, Xiao Xiao heard someone in the middle say to him:
"Since Lord Long has sent you here with such sincerity, it would be a great disservice to you if we didn't treat you properly. Although we would like to discuss cooperation with you as soon as possible, you are aware of the recent events. Our organization is still looking for Shirogane Yuki, so we can only ask that you rest here for the time being."
After saying this, the man turned to one of the men in black beside him and said:
"Go and arrange the most luxurious room for our distinguished guest. Get the customer settled first, and we'll talk about the rest later."
A hint of agreement flashed in the eyes of everyone present. Xia Yan frowned slightly, knowing that everyone in the organization was looking for Shirogane Yuki.
Actually, there was another reason why he personally came to organize the negotiations this time. After Shirogane Miyuki realized this, a hint of amusement flashed in Xia Yan's eyes, and he hurriedly said to the people in front of him:
"Since I've come here to discuss cooperation with you, it already proves our sincerity. Anyway, our cooperation is already a done deal, only the terms are missing. Besides, I'm very interested in this matter of yours, and I wonder if I can help you with it."
After saying these words, a hint of anticipation flashed in Xia Yan's eyes. The brows of everyone present furrowed slightly. They (Mo Qian Zhao) really did not expect that Xia Yan would make such a request.
However, Xia Yan was sent by Master Long and was the one who was negotiating cooperation with them. If they refused, it would prove that their sincerity was insufficient. Realizing this, a hint of hesitation flashed in the eyes of everyone present, and then they looked at the person who had just spoken.
The person speaking did not change their expression at all, but their fingers were tapping the table with interlaced fingers.
Chapter 208 Hiding
This also showed that he was not at peace with himself, but he still nodded to everyone in the end, because since Xia Yan was so interested, they couldn't very well refuse.
Moreover, Xia Yan had just said that he was going to help, and if they refused, it would seem unreasonable. Then Xia Yan heard someone say to him:
"Since you don't mind the trouble, please follow me. However, I must remind you that the terrain here is quite complicated, so please do not wander around on your own."
Xia Yan naturally understood his underlying meaning, so he quickly nodded to him, and then Xia Yan followed a group of men in black out again.
As Xia Yan's departing figure slowly disappeared from their sight, a thoughtful look flashed across the eyes of everyone present. Meanwhile, on the other side, after Bai Yin Yuxing and his group jumped into the lake, they quickly found a cave to hide in.
However, everyone present was very wary, because they still had numbers and strength, and if they encountered people from the organization, they would definitely suffer losses.
Moreover, they had already suffered casualties while trying to escape. If they were to encounter the organization's people and engage in a fierce battle, it could be said that they would be doomed this time. Realizing this, a trace of worry flashed through everyone present.
Indeed, after arriving at the cave, Shirogane Miyuki hurriedly began searching the surroundings. After a thorough search, he discovered that the organization's people had not yet reached the foot of the mountain. Shirogane Miyuki knew very well that the organization had simply given them a good buffer time.
Realizing this, he knew he couldn't linger here. After all, this wasn't his territory; it was fraught with danger. A serious glint flashed in his eyes, and he addressed the crowd:
“I’ve already scouted the area. The one we just encountered was very likely the one that entered. So the organization’s people haven’t reached the foot of the mountain yet. But (aeej) this place is not safe to stay for long. We don’t know what dangers await us. We must find an exit here and leave immediately.”
Upon hearing this, a hint of agreement flashed across the faces of those present. Without wasting any more time, they discussed other matters and began searching for an exit in the cave. However, the cave was too dark, and at first, they could only see the path ahead through the dim light.
However, the deeper they went into the cave, the blurrier their vision became. They could have walked out of the cave, but if they left from the outside, they might run into people from the organization.
So now they could only leave through the cave. After reaching this point, everyone's brows furrowed tightly, but they still did not give up their hope. However, after searching for a long time, they could not find any exit.
Seeing this scene, the worry in everyone's eyes gradually deepened. On the other side, Shirogane Miyuki also found nothing. He sighed softly, knowing that everyone's physical strength was greatly depleted.
Moreover, the people in the organization are still relentlessly pursuing them, so their most important task now is to recover their strength and consciousness. After that, Shirogane Miyuki did not ask them to continue searching, but instead let them rest here for the time being.
Chapter 209 High Fever
Because Shirogane Miyuki is now very clear that they have been working hard for a long time to avoid the organization's search, and their physical strength has not yet recovered.
Moreover, they have never had access to food; they have only drunk some water when they are extremely thirsty. As a result, everyone's bodies are now completely exhausted.
Realizing this, Shirogane Miyuki frowned slightly, and the others present actually knew what they should do. They found a comfortable spot in the cave, sat down, and rested.
Shirogane Miyuki also found a spot and leaned against the cave wall, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes. Although they were temporarily staying in the cave because they hadn't found an exit, Shirogane Miyuki was very clear that this cave was not a place to stay for long.
Moreover, the organization's people don't know where they are looking for them. Once they are discovered by the organization, the situation will be extremely critical. Realizing this, Shirogane Miyuki rested for a while, and then started looking for an exit again.
Some people offered to help with the search, but they searched all day without finding anyone. Upon realizing this, a hint of sadness flashed in the eyes of everyone present.
Miyuki Shirogane also sighed softly, but he still didn't want these people to give up hope, so after a moment of contemplation, he said to them:
"Although we are now trapped here, you must have confidence."
Upon hearing these words, the worry in the eyes of everyone present gradually disappeared. They looked at Shirogane Miyuki and nodded firmly. Shirogane Miyuki knew that they were very tired from searching all day, so he told them to go and rest.
Normally, Shirogane Miyuki would wake them up every morning, but on this particular day, after they woke up, they didn't see him at all, and a hint of worry flashed in their eyes.
At first, they thought that Shirogane Miyuki had gone to find the exit on his own, but they waited for a long time and still did not see Shirogane Miyuki.

Realizing this, the worry in everyone's eyes deepened. Just as they were searching for Shirogane Miyuki, someone shouted:
"Hey, come quick! Shirogane Miyuki is here, but he seems to have a fever; his forehead is burning hot."
