Twelfth Fly Chapter 557 One Wave and Three "Folds"

Chapter 557: One Wave and Three "Folds"

"Do you want me to follow you?" Wan Bao's reaction speed was also top-notch, and when he heard Wen Tao say this, he immediately reacted.

In front of smart people not to tell lies, Wen Tao nodded: "It does mean this." β€œ

"You think it's quite beautiful, not only did you take away my Yun Ying, but now you still want me to be with you. The fat man didn't say yes or no, and the first thing that came out of his words was a thick sourness.

In the fairy world, everyone wants to find a good backer, and everyone understands the truth that they can enjoy the shade with their backs against big trees. However, it is not easy to rely on the big tree, each sect has its own way of absorbing talents, and talents like the fat man Wanbao are very important in Wen Tao's eyes.

But in the fairy world, he can't find a backer at all.

"There's no need to talk nonsense with you about this kind of thing, you can think about it yourself. You stay with me until the end of the martial arts tournament, and at the end of the tournament, whether you follow me or not, I will compensate you for the same value of the Wanbao Pavilion. "Let Wen Tao get a Wanbao Pavilion for the fat man Wanbao again, especially with so many strange treasures, Wen Tao really doesn't have that patience.

Items of the same value are different, which is not a problem for Wen Tao even now, not to mention that Wen Tao is already ready to get a good vote at this martial arts conference.

It's easy to talk to smart people, and after Wen Tao said this, Wanbao didn't say anything more.

"Fatty, that's a good point, I really didn't see that you could have this set, and we were usually oppressed by a lot of instrument sects. This time, I thought that you would also sympathize with us, but I didn't expect you to give the Instrument Sect a resounding slap in the face, and you did a good job. I also listened to your set of theories just now, it's really amazing, let's talk about it if you have time, my "treasure hall" welcomes you at any time, as long as you come, we will join forces. β€œ

Coincidentally, at this time, someone openly threw an olive branch to Wanbao.

"How much is this?"

"Help me write it down, I'm going to look for the "Celestial Bird" and find a contact with me. ”

Other people came to inquire, came to see, and came to order.

The fat man Wanbao is multitasking, and 90% of his mind is thinking about Wen Tao's affairs, but on the surface, he still seems to be dealing with things.

As for what the person who wanted to pick up the cheap treasure hall said, Wan Bao didn't even pay attention to it, and said in his heart, if it were from a business point of view. Now there is no one worth taking refuge into, unless you glance at Wen Tao. This person is an Immortal Emperor-level master, and it is very weird, normally even if he is really an Immortal Emperor, it is impossible to control Yun Ying to that extent in such a short period of time.

Although he said that just now, the Instrument Sect really didn't dare to mess around, but the martial arts conference was unusual. Once the martial arts tournament really starts, it is not impossible for the Instrument Sect to find a reason to think of a way, and it is not impossible to have some accidents for himself.

He is nameless and powerful, even if this matter spreads, there is a certain range. It is unlikely that someone who wants to attract the attention of the Criminal Law Division will take the initiative.

This person wants to accept himself, why don't he need a backer to tide over this crisis, and it is good to have an immortal emperor as a backer.

"It's very simple to get me to agree, I have a small request, my Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion was destroyed by the Instrument Sect. The Instrument Sect is just a small sect that does not enter the third-rate, it may not be eye-catching to you, but for me it is the enemy of life, their succession ceremony is about to begin, I plan to go over and stir it up, I think it is better to wait for this matter, if I still have a life, and then go to you. β€œ

This is not a requirement at all, but it really puts forward a condition for Wen Tao.

Even if you are an Immortal Emperor and are not afraid of the Instrument Sect, but now is a very moment, I want to accept your treasure master to see if you have the bearing and responsibility.

"It's been a long time since I've encountered a lively thing, and now there is a lively thing that naturally won't let go, you clean up our past, such a good excitement is not ready for that. In Wan Bao's opinion, even the Immortal Emperor would consider it when he encountered this kind of thing, after all, he wanted to be the enemy of a sect, but Wen Tao replied without thinking about it.

Wen Taoken accompanied him on this trip to the troubled water, which Wanbao did not expect. The habit of a businessman, he said that just now he left room for Wen Tao to bargain, but he didn't expect Wen Tao to agree directly.

Since Wen Tao said so, Wan Bao immediately closed the stall and followed Wen Tao to the headquarters of the Instrument Sect.

Many times, many things are not that they don't want to do, even if they find various reasons, in fact, the essential reason is that they are more than willing to do it. Take the matter of Wan Bao and Qi Zong, Wan Bao has already thought about how to get angry hundreds of thousands of times.

But that can only be fantasy and imagination, there is no power and not enough strength, everything is just a fantasy in one's own mind.

Wanbao is better, he doesn't need to say some things against his will to the people around him, such as not retaliating for other reasons, for what considerations. If this is said by the strong and the person who stands on a high place, it is said to be generous, it is the heart is the decision, or it is for other reasons.

For most people, it can only be a helplessness and helplessness.

Although the immortal realm is a high-level existence standing on other planets or even other worlds, some things are still the same in essence.

There are so many sects in the fairy world that there are so many that they are like the shops in the secular world, and countless shops in the secular world are closed and more are opened every day. The difference is that trading in the secular world can be closed today and can come back again after a while, but in the immortal world it is different.

The disappearance of a force and a sect in the fairy world means that it has been cleared and eradicated, and there are very few opportunities to start again.

And how long a sect can stand in the fairy world without falling has almost become a symbol of the strength of a sect. In the fairy world, you may be able to support it for a while by relying on fame, but it is definitely not long, and there will always be countless bold and boundless people in the fairy world to challenge.

Even the Nine Great Immortal Emperors often have to face the challenge of super geniuses.

The history of the Qi Sect in the Immortal Realm is not short, longer than several forces under the Nine Great Immortal Emperors, but they are not recognized because they are in the Martial Fighting City.

There are rules, rules, and protections in Wudou City, and the truly powerful sects only send people to stay here for a long time, but they never build their headquarters here. Only on the outside can you feel the storm, the threat and the pressure of survival.

The path taken by the Qi Sect was the opposite of that of other sects, they established several garrisons outside the Martial Dou City and sent people to garrison them for a long time. Then every once in a while, a group of people are sent out to practice, and after a period of training, they are allowed to come back.

This way and method, although insured, has always been despised.

On the way, Wen Tao listened to what Wan Bao said, but he agreed very much, but he had doubts about whether the Qi Sect could do a good job, if they were ruthless enough, it would definitely help the early development.

Instrument Sect, Refining Instrument Hall.

The building Wen Tao saw when he first entered the valley was the appearance of the refining hall. There are many buildings around the rolling hills, and the fairy world seems to be boundless, huge and huge, allowing people in the fairy world to use the space at will.

Outside the refining hall, there were two rows of people standing on each side, but these two rows of people were not standing neatly, like the Big Dipper and standing like a snake twisting its body, and the two sides were symmetrical to each other.

Their own aura and strength are not too strong, but after combining with each other and echoing each other, their momentum does not seem to increase, but their coverage has increased by hundreds of times.

With them as the center, all within a few thousand meters of the entrance of the refining hall were shrouded in their aura.

People who come and go are shrouded in their aura.

However, they are only responsible for observing the people who come, because they are in Wudou City, it is impossible for anyone to suddenly attack and kill them, so there is no need to worry. These people are just putting on a posture, and their mentality is also very relaxed, which Wen Tao specially mentioned after listening to Wanbao.

If you want to develop in this way, the first thing you have to do is to control your mentality, and if you don't control the mentality of your disciples.

It's like a trained army, but it has never seen blood, and when it comes to a real large-scale battle, it is only known that the army that has not seen blood can only exert sixty percent of its strength at most. That's it, it depends on how well the opponent plays.

Their ability to fight alone is definitely not too bad, but after fighting outside, they still spend more time in the Instrument Sect.

First, they mainly focus on refining weapons, and secondly, this is their headquarters, and once so. Their mentality will soon change, just like the soldiers who have returned to the field, they can no longer guarantee the best condition and the strongest strength.

A change in mentality will in itself greatly reduce the strength.

"Now even Uncle Guanghe can achieve Luo Heavenly Immortal, do you say that there will be more powerful among the predecessors of our Instrument Sect, if there is an Immortal Emperor, haha, then we will be developed, even if we are out of Martial Dou City, no one will dare to provoke us easily. ”

Stand there in a routine position, unless there is a great change in the heavens and the earth, there is no need to worry about danger.

"You dream about it, you think that the Immortal Emperor belongs to your family, and if you say that it will be generated, it will be generated. ”

"Besides, even if there is an Immortal Emperor, it's not something we can see, hehe, but if our Instrument Sect produces an Immortal Emperor, it will be really cool. ”

"Don't worry about that, the guests have already started to come over in the past two days, this time the sect master succeeded to the throne before the martial arts conference, and there are many more people who have come than before, so this time there is no room for any mistakes, let's be careful." ”

"Hey, I'm afraid of something, this is Martial Arts City, you think it's outside, what's the matter? ”

"yes, it's so frustrating. ”

These people standing on the outermost side are all faΓ§ade things, and everyone's strength is a golden immortal, and this kind of handwriting is already quite luxurious for people like the Instrument Sect.

The conversation between them is also through immortal knowledge, and although there are many people who go back and forth, they are all invited to follow their own people.

These people would never have imagined that their conversations had already been overheard.

Although most of the time it is nonsense, in the midst of this nonsense, there are also many useful things to say.

In the air from the gate of the Qi Sect, Wen Tao was standing there, and Xiao Bai was in front. Today's Xiaobai is very different from before, under the tempering of Bafang Heaven and Earth in recent years, it gives people a sense of fierceness.

Xiao Bai is now close to the level of Da Luo Jin Xian, and he has exercised a lot stronger than before in the northeast world, in Xiao Bai's own words. If he is not strong, he will be beaten, although he will not be killed with his strength, but it is also a loss of face to be bullied and pressed to the top of his head by those official members of the Fei Shuxin Clinic.

What's more, now that he has arrived in the fairy world, Xiaobai is also very clear about the situation in the fairy world, if he doesn't increase his strength, he will not be able to hear anything in the future.

This is absolutely unacceptable to Xiaobai, after so long of hard work, Xiaobai has also changed a lot.

Now the conversation of Da Luo Jin Xian, including Da Luo Jin Xian, whether it is using secret methods or communicating through immortal knowledge, Xiao Bai can hear it.

Because the northeast heaven and earth have their own system, Wen Tao is now easily unwilling to move the people inside and let them develop freely. The complete system, which still has the existence of heavenly punishment, and is driven by these people under his own command, is far faster than their development in the immortal world.

However, this time the Instrument Sect is different, so Wen Tao needs to know more information, including the situation in the Instrument Sect and so on.

So find out Xiaobai and let him know in advance.

And Xun Qun was on the way to Wen Tao and Wan Bao to go to the Qi Sect, he had already followed, and the appearance of Xun Qun and Xiao Bai made Wan Bao secretly pay attention in his heart. originally thought that Wen Tao was a lone traveler, but he didn't expect that there were still people under him, and it seemed that there should be a lot.

The strength of Xun Qun and Xiao Bai was weaker than Wan Bao at this time, but the arrogance and killing aura of Xun Qun and Xiao Bai's fierce fighting aura made Wan Bao very vigilant.

They stood in the distance and stared at the Instrument Sect, it had been three days, and they had been watching like this for the past three days, and the guy who was called Xiaobai by Wen Tao was staring at it like that. Wanbao knew that they must be communicating, but they didn't know what the intention was.

When Wen Tao entered Wanbao Pavilion, Xun Qun also entered the Northeast Heaven and Earth for a period of time, and he also had some intersections with Xiaobai.

Although he doesn't like to communicate very much, after all, they are all his own people, so he also knows a lot about some basic things about the people in the comfort clinic, which naturally includes Xiaobai's special abilities.

"Boss, what these people said is not too useful, but from the information we have known in the past few days, we can know that this Instrument Sect has at least two Luo Heavenly Immortals. Xiao Bai stared at the Qi Sect for the past three days, eavesdropping and analyzing all the conversations within his ability, and then summarized the information to Wen Tao.

Basically, some will be reported every day, this is the third day, and Wen Tao will have the results today, because in a few days it will be the succession ceremony, and we will discuss how to prepare for this game.

"Not the Sect Master?"

"Wow, boss, you're getting more and more amazing, you can guess that. It's true that it's not that sect master, this instrument sect is more special, they don't pay much attention to the cultivation of strength, the cultivation of strength is only secondary, they pay attention to the magic weapon. They think that to fight with heaven is to fight with heaven, which is stupid in itself. Even if they reach the Immortal Emperor, they are going against the sky, and the heavenly punishment is the heavenly rule, they just use the magic weapon to delay and help themselves avoid the heavenly punishment, and then live. ”

Xiaobai thought for a while and said: "This point of view is a bit similar to the school in the secular world that does not pursue fame and fortune, but only seeks to live naturally, but their magic weapons are indeed very famous, especially they can repair the magic weapons, as if the magic weapons under the artifact can be used." Moreover, even the high-grade immortal artifacts can be refined every year, so there are many people who come to buy and sell. They think that as long as they survive like this, they are the best, so the Guanghe you mentioned before, the guy who pursues power, is not popular with them. ”

"Although they also sent people out to practice, it was just to not lose touch with the fairy world. After all, sometimes they still need some self-preservation ability, and as for the other one of them, it seems that he has only reached the Luo Heavenly Immortal by accumulating years and months, and it is estimated that there is no progress. And this kind of Luo Heavenly Immortal, it is estimated that it is not very powerful, according to my personal opinion, he is probably weaker than that Guanghe, and on the whole, this sect is not very strong. If the boss pulls out the team of our comfortable clinic, it will not be a big problem for them to be flattened directly. ”

Nowadays, the weakest in the Shuxin clinic is also the peak of the Golden Immortal, and most of them have already reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal, but it is more and more difficult to improve after entering the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

However, there is a great advantage in numbers, let alone in terms of combat effectiveness.

This Wen Tao didn't think about it, hearing Xiaobai mention this time again, Wen Tao smiled and shook his head slightly: "I have also thought about this matter, even if we do it cleanly, if such a sect is leveled, those criminal laws in the fairy world will definitely not give up." This is still secondary, and most importantly, it destroys the operation of the northeast heaven and earth. ”

"Boss, I've discussed this issue with Chaos, Tsunami, and Ling Yunzhi, do you really plan to keep us in there all the time?"

"Hmm" Wen Tao nodded affirmatively: "The Northeast Heaven and Earth have used the method of the initial Heavenly Punishment of the Immortal Realm to appear, plus our previous reserves in the Cultivation Realm, and we have experienced a cruel baptism to have today's results. Now the northeast heaven and earth are running much faster than the fairy world, with the experience of the fairy world, coupled with our deliberate guidance, this situation is very difficult to form, and it must not be easily destroyed. That's why I asked you to arrange everything and come out without affecting your normal plans. ”

"Oh, oh!!" Xiaobai then understood.

"What are you going to do, boss?"

"I haven't figured it out yet, so I'm going to sort out the information you provided to me and discuss it with them. ”

Why Wen Tao wanted to move this instrument sect, Xiao Bai didn't know and didn't need to be clear, after he finished his own affairs, he collected all the information he could collect, and then returned to the northeast world to continue his own career.

You must know that now Xiaobai, Luo Zhenfeng, Tsunami, and Ling Yunzhi are fighting very well in the local area. Of course, if Ling Lan or the Red Shirt attacked with a powerful force, they would also unite temporarily.

Although various forces in the northeast have been steadily formed, battles are frequent.

It's just another Warring States world, the fight is in full swing, and even the seven-colored rain army is involved.

Except for the core members of the Comfort Clinic, as long as the strength of others is not good, the wisdom is not good. It is possible to die in battle, and if the core members of the Comfort Clinic fail, they will have a chance to live, but they must be sent by the opponent, and after a certain period of time, they can rebuild their own forces.

However, this is not the beginning of the time, and with the formation of many forces, it is almost impossible to start again.

The situation inside is wonderful.

Seeing Xiaobai disappear suddenly, Wan Bao's heart trembled, space magic weapon.

It is definitely a space magic weapon, you must know that even if it is an immortal emperor, it is not possible to have it casually, if there are fewer immortal emperors, then there are even fewer space magic weapons. Although the space magic weapon does not necessarily have to be in the hands of the Immortal Emperor, if you calculate it, only one of the five Immortal Emperors may be able to have a space magic weapon.

Who is this person, and will I really fail to do with him in the future?

"Now I will tell you about the situation of the Instrument Sect, and you will also express your own opinions. Saying that, Wen Tao said a little Wanbao: "Especially Wanbao, this time it mainly depends on you." ”

Look at me? Wan Bao hasn't figured it out yet, look at what he is.

I came here in a daze, and now I say it's up to me.

Wen Tao didn't care what he was thinking, he told the two of them all the information that Xiaobai had collected these days, and the more Wen Tao said that Wan Bao's mouth grew bigger, and with his super fat body, it was like a fat man who wanted to open his mouth to eat Wen Tao.

Ah, no, I even know how many secret rooms there are, how many elders there are, how many magic weapons have been sold recently, and the quality and transaction price of magic weapons.

God, even the layout of their hall and the invited guests also knew about it, and what else did he not know.

No, how could he know that?

Wan Bao couldn't imagine that they could know these things by standing there and looking at the Qi Sect for a few days?

There is a problem, there must be a problem, and the person Wen Tao got out of the space magic weapon has a big problem.

"Wan Bao, can you tell me your opinion?" Wen Tao finished speaking, looking at Wan Bao.

"This" Wan Bao rubbed his mouth with his hand: "I'm really sorry, I don't know what you mean?"

Wen Tao said with a smile: "Didn't you say that I should deal with the Instrument Sect with you, now I have told you the information that should be collected, how to deal with the Instrument Sect now, to what extent, whether it is assassination, destruction, or direct attack, what should I do, you should always have an idea." ”

No, I heard it right, attacking? Did my ears hear it wrong, or did his mouth work badly?

Let's not talk about anything else, even if he is an Immortal Emperor, this is a martial arts city.

"Is this a martial arts city?" Wan Bao looked at Wen Tao, and said in his heart, how can you say that you are also an immortal emperor, the rules of this martial arts city are not a joke.

The more powerful the person, the more he should understand that the martial arts city is no better than other places, the martial arts competition is about to start, and the people from the criminal law department often appear.

"What's wrong with Wudou City" Wen Tao said indifferently: "When you were practicing there, you said that if something happened to you, it was the Instrument Sect that killed you, but if something happened to the Instrument Sect, would someone say that you did it?"

Wan Bao hurriedly shook his head, what are you kidding, who would have thought that he would be able to move the Instrument Sect.

"But even so, if we break the rules of Martial Dou City, we will not face the Instrument Sect, but the immortal rules and immortal laws. ”

"Rules and laws are set by a few people to be obeyed by the majority, and you won't be unfamiliar with this truth. ”

Wan Bao, who had taken revenge on the Qi Sect before, was made a bitter face by Wen Tao at this time: "That's what I said, but we don't need to take risks." ”

"Opportunities and risks coexist, if you want to get the greatest benefit, you have to take the biggest risk, you have been doing business this truth you will not understand. ”

"That's what I said, but "

"How can there be so many things to do, but, I said before that I wanted to find the Instrument Sect for revenge, as you told me, right?"

At this time, Wan Bao understood one thing, Wen Tao's mouth was definitely no worse than his own. No, he's better than himself.

Sometimes you don't need to talk much, you can only be useful and powerful, especially when talking to someone like Wan Bao, Wen Tao looked at Wan Bao with a smile after speaking.

Wan Bao's head drooped: "Say it." ”

From this moment on, Wanbao knew that he had completely lost the initiative, no, it should be said that from the moment Wen Tao appeared, he had lost the initiative.

Wen Tao will give his own people the greatest freedom, provided that he is "his own people", and Wanbao is not counted yet.

Wen Tao must control the initiative of the matter, in fact, Wen Tao didn't plan to make a big deal out of it from the beginning, and he didn't do so much to really bulldoze the Instrument Sect or fight with them.

He wants to do something, but before the martial arts conference, he will never cause anything, which is also his bottom line.

I just said that in order to deal with Wanbao first and make him lose the initiative.

"I don't have the courage to do things at all" Wen Tao shook his head as if disappointed: "Do you think I'm joking with you when I come with you, isn't it just a tool sect." ”

Wan Bao had a feeling of pulling thieves on board at this time.

"Forget it" Wen Tao seemed to have lost interest and patience: "You don't want to do it, and I don't need to take too much risk for it." However, "

Wen Tao looked at Wanbao Dao: "Yunying is always owed to you for the matter, even if you return Wanbao Pavilion in the future, it will not be as good as Yunying, I will still help you find justice in this matter." ”

Fooled, Wan Bao is not stupid, and he is very smart!

"Amazing, I found out that you are not so upright as you look, and you have been fooled again, you belong to the kind of wilted type. Wan Bao expressed his admiration very directly.

If those people in the Comfort Clinic heard this, they would definitely smile and nod their heads, you know.

But they were not there at this time, and only Xun Qun was beside Wen Tao, although he did not call the master. But everything Wen Tao did was the grace of recreation.

As soon as he heard Wan Bao say this, Xun Qun's murderous aura suddenly exploded, his eyes were like lightning, and his fists were clenched and he was about to shoot.

Although Wanbao's strength is stronger than that of Wanbao, Xunqun's murderous aura and experience are by no means comparable to Wanbao, but Wanbao has been operating Wanbao Pavilion for so many years, and he also has a lot of good magic weapons on his body. If you really fight, it's really hard to say whether you will win or lose.

People who can survive in the fairy world, no matter how bad they are at fighting, no one is afraid of fighting. It can only be said that there are strengths and weaknesses between each other, and they are all very energetic when they encounter a battle, unless the gap is too big.

Xun Qun wants to do it, Wan Bao is not afraid, he is afraid of Wen Tao.

"Don't be impatient, it's normal for your own people to make a joke. I didn't see Wen Tao moving, Wen Tao had already appeared by Xun Qun's side, patted him on the shoulder to soothe him and calm his anger.

"Hmph!" snorted at Wan Bao, closing his eyes and ignoring him.

The group that has lost its goal and is almost in a state of giving up is the kind of person who doesn't talk much, but now he has a goal and a direction. Everything he has can be put together, everything is only for the sake of strength, and everything else is put aside.

At this point, Wen Tao sighed to himself, he couldn't give up so much.

Of course, Wen Tao's realm is higher, he doesn't need to give up these, and he can do what he needs to do with the best energy and attention at any time.

Wen Tao already knew very well what kind of character Wen Tao was, he didn't pay attention to him with a faint smile, turned his head to look at Wan Baodao: "It depends on what you do, if you directly say a plan just now, or you agree to my plan, I will do the same." It can only be said that an opportunity passed by you, and you couldn't grasp it, and now a smaller opportunity has passed, if you don't want to seize it, I'm afraid you can only go through a long wait by yourself. ”

"You're right, heh" Wen Tao's words were very pertinent and impartial, and Wan Bao could only nod with a wry smile and admit: "Although I said that, this turn and turn always makes people feel uncomfortable." ”

"It seems that you are still a little close, and sometimes even if I am an enemy, if my tricks are bad enough and wonderful enough, you should applaud them and learn at the same time. Don't feel that this is a turning point or an insult to make yourself feel uncomfortable, it's just a small contest, don't say that we are not enemies now, even if we are enemies, you should also have the spirit of learning, only then can you be the one who plays tricks next time. ”

Treat different people with different methods, and dealing with Wanbao naturally requires the use of methods to deal with Wanbao, which seems to be a simple and calm dialogue again and again.

But there are constant twists and turns, and Wan Bao has been "broken" between several transformations, and his train of thought has been completely broken, following Wen Tao.

After Wen Tao, who was right and wrong, took Wanbao around a few times, and after Wanbao was completely broken, he began to talk about how to go to the Instrument Sect.

Xun Qun never said anything now, and basically could ignore his existence except for fighting, Wen Tao discussed it with Wan Bao. Without fighting, the best way to reorganize the Instrument Sect is to take advantage of them to hold a succession ceremony.

"If you can mess up their succession ceremony, it will be too enjoyable, this is more than a hundred faces of the left and right incendiary sects. "When it comes to how to rectify the Qi Sect, Wan Bao soon has a spirit, and Wen Tao is crushed here.

As soon as he has an outlet, he will naturally vent it all, not to mention that he is not afraid of the Instrument Sect at all.

"Okay, let's wait for the succession ceremony to make a fuss with him" Wen Tao decided, and it was a pity: "It would be nice if we could do it." ”

Up to now, Wen Tao has not fought with Luo Tianshang Immortal, and he really wants to see how powerful Luo Tianshang Immortal is.

Wan Bao's eyes rolled after hearing this, and he thought for a while and said, "It's not that there is no opportunity."
