C3072 To Risk Your Own Life
Green Lotus looked at him with a mocking expression. She stretched out a hand toward Chen Xiao and raised her palm.
Chen Xiao took a step back when he saw this. Like a miser, he said, "Miss Greenlotus is joking. It's not much, not much at all. It's just nice. Thank the Tower Master for me."
"En, that's more like it." Green Lotus nodded her head in satisfaction and said, "Tower Lord knows that you have spatial divine ability which consumes a lot of immortal energy. That's why he prepared ten bottles of Immortal Rank Restoration Pills. I hope that we can gain something from this trip."
"Please rest assured, Senior Sister Huo Yuan. I will definitely come back alive." Chen Xiao said with a confident expression.
Hearing this, Green Lotus shook her head with a smile and didn't say anything. She only said, "Alright, I've said what I needed to say. Take this communication rune. If necessary, you can call someone. The Tower Lord will personally take action"
After saying that, Green Lotus took out a fiery-red talisman and handed it to Chen Xiao. She was very careful.
Chen Xiao accepted it and carefully put it away.
"But Elder Chen Xiao, you should know that the Tower Master won't leave White Stone City under normal circumstances. And even if he did leave White Stone City, he wouldn't take the risk of venturing too far into the outer seas. So even if you ask for help, if the distance is too far... You have to think this through clearly." Green Lotus warned again.
Chen Xiao was not too surprised to hear what the other party said.
In such a troubled time, Senior Sister Huo Yuan was the pillar of the entire Treasure Tower. As long as she was here, everything could be carried out in an orderly manner.
Her existence was extremely important to the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce in White Stone City. She absolutely couldn't be allowed to be lost.
Therefore, the actual function of this communication rune seemed to be very useless. However, there was always something better than nothing.
"Alright, I understand." Chen Xiao said lightly.
He did not think anything of it. He would never place his hopes on someone else.
"Alright. Su Qi is right outside the door. He will bring you to the scene of the accident. As for what will happen, it will depend on the will of the heavens." Green Lotus said with a solemn expression.
She also knew that Chen Xiao's trip would be extremely dangerous. As for whether there would be any results, no one knew, especially since he was accompanied by a very suspicious person like Su Qi.
Only the heavens knew what kind of existence Su Qi was playing in this incident.
However, as the saying goes, if you are unwilling to part with the child, you will not be able to trap the wolf.
"Okay."
Chen Xiao responded and turned around to leave.
While walking, he even told Yue Yao a few times to make her feel at ease, in case something went wrong.
"Is there really no danger?" Yue Yao sent a message, her tone full of worry.
After all, there were too many cases like this in Chen Xiao's past life. Many times, he hid it from Yue Yao and the other girls, and then risked his life by himself. This caused Yue Yao to have no choice but to be cautious and worried.
After listening to Yue Yao's tone, Chen Xiao felt that his mood was a bit heavy.
He took a few deep breaths before saying, "It's fine. Even if there's any danger, I can still escape. Have you forgotten that I'm the best at escaping? Don't worry, nothing will happen to me."
"Pfft! You're the only one who knows how to say that." Yue Yao couldn't help but laugh. "But you must not forget that if there's any danger, immediately escape. Got it?"
"Yes, I remember. Let's go."
"Go on."
Although it was only a few short sentences, they were very sincere. It made Chen Xiao think a lot at once. He had to be careful in everything. He had to leave a way out for himself, even if he was working for Senior Sister Huo Yuan. He had to be careful.
Very soon, Chen Xiao walked out of the secret room and came outside. He saw Su Qi, who was waiting outside with a nervous expression.
Seeing this, he sneered in his heart.
Was this real, or was this an act?
According to the conversation he had with Green Lotus just now, as well as some of the information he had obtained, this appearance was most likely an act. It was truly nauseating.
However, although he was very disgusted and disdainful in his heart, on the surface, he did not reveal anything at all.
"Elder Chen." Su Qi slightly lowered his head and greeted him.
"I've already told you." Chen Xiao asked.
According to what Green Lotus said, he wanted Su Qi to bring Chen Xiao to the scene where the merchant ship had an accident. He wanted to investigate what had happened on the spot and whether it was related to Yama Island or Cloud Sky Pavilion.
Of course, Su Qi was just a small chess piece amongst them. The rest of the people had also started to move.
One had to know that the Purple Thorns Commerce was very powerful. They could gather a large number of people to work for them in a very short period of time.
Even in the current situation, the power of the Chamber of Commerce had been weakened by a lot. If people chose to watch and even abandoned the Chamber of Commerce, a lean camel was still bigger than a horse. The Chamber of Commerce's foundation was still there.
"Yes, this is what I requested from the Tower Master to atone for my crimes. I will bring Elder Chen Xiao to the place where the accident happened and investigate it carefully. Perhaps there will be some clues left behind. " Su Qi said in a deep voice with an incomparably sincere expression.
However, in Chen Xiao's eyes, his current appearance seemed a little ridiculous.
If he wanted to expose him, he had to bear with it. It was indeed a little bit uncomfortable, but Chen Xiao had to endure it for a long time.
But there was one thing that Su Qi was right about. After the merchant ship had an accident, no one from the Chamber of Commerce dared to go near the accident site to investigate.
After all, doing this was too dangerous. Plus, the Chamber of Commerce currently did not have enough manpower.
In the Treasure Tower of White Stone City, besides Chen Xiao, who was a Tribulation Transcender, the other three Tribulation Transcenders, Senior Sister Huo Yuan, needed to stay in the Treasure Tower and couldn't be moved.
The other two Tribulation Transcenders were Su Mo Cai, whom Chen Xiao had met before, and Elder Gu. Chen Xiao had never met them before.
Now, these two were sent out to carry out a mission, and they couldn't leave.
Therefore, the only one who could be ordered by Senior Sister Huo Yuan was Chen Xiao. However, using ten bottles of Immortal Restoration Pills in exchange for this trip didn't seem to be a loss to him.
"Alright, let's go." Chen Xiao said.
"Yes." Su Qi agreed.
Without further ado, the two of them flew out from the courtyard and crossed the city walls of White Stone City, flying out of White Stone City. They turned into two rays of light and disappeared from the crowd's sight.
"It's the aura of Tribulation Transcenders. Who were those two streaks of light?" A passer-by cultivator in White Stone City made a guess with a puzzled look on his face when he saw this.
"Looks like they flew out from the Treasure House. What happened to the Redbud Merchant Guild again?"
"I don't know. But I heard that a while ago, another merchant ship was destroyed in the outer seas. Not a single person on the ship escaped alive. What a troubled time."
