C3613 Making Things Difficult for Me
However, Xiao Ling also knew that without Chen Xiao's sacrifice, it would be impossible for them to live a peaceful life.
Therefore, they unconditionally supported all of Chen Xiao's decisions.
"He should go to the Purple Cloud City." As he spoke, Chen Xiao walked out of the cave unhurriedly.
"The Purple Cloud City is the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce and the fiefdom of the Duke of Zi Jin. It is said that it is a dangerous place in the mortal world. Are we really going to the Purple Cloud City?" When Xiao Ling heard this, she was extremely happy.
Xiao Ling had also heard of the legend of the Purple Cloud City, so she naturally wanted to know more about it.
"Yes, yes." Chen Xiao nodded.
"Wow, that's great. Am I the first one to know about this? Husband, you're so good to me." Xiao Ling was extremely happy. Like a little bird, she threw herself into Chen Xiao's arms.
The two of them left the cave. The warmth was like that of a celestial couple, making countless people envious. It was also the most beautiful world for the two of them.
Along the way, Chen Xiao accompanied Xiao Ling, stopping here and there, looking around and playing around. He was not in a hurry to go to the market.
Half a day passed in the blink of an eye, leaving an unforgettable memory for the two of them.
After a period of time, Chen Xiao and Xiao Ling held hands and arrived at the market.
"Who is on duty here today?" In the luxurious living room on the top floor of the market, Chen Xiao asked a maid.
The maids didn't dare to be negligent at all. They served tea, replied, and even sent messages.
"Reporting to Elder Chen, the one on duty today is Elder Xiao Yong." The maid answered carefully. She didn't even dare to raise her head to look at Chen Xiao.
The maid was well aware of the difference in strength and status between them, so she didn't dare to overstep it in the slightest.
"Xiao Yong?" Hearing that, Chen Xiao frowned deeply.
"It's someone from the Xiao Family. I'm afraid there's going to be trouble." Even Xiao Ling's face darkened as she said worriedly.
Chen Xiao was silent for a moment, then returned to his calm and said, "It's fine. Even the people from the Xiao Family are elders of the Chamber of Commerce. It's the same."
The conflict between him and the Xiao Family had long been known by everyone. However, under the mediation of Elder Su, the two sides had already reconciled.
Chen Xiao didn't think that the other party would take the initiative to cause trouble, unless he really wanted to bring trouble upon himself.
"Yes, Elder Chen, please wait for a moment. I'm already informing Elder Xiao Yong." The maid's forehead was dripping with sweat, and her palms were also starting to sweat.
Facing Chen Xiao, the pressure on her was too great, and she didn't even dare to breathe too loudly.
"Alright." Chen Xiao and Xiao Ling sat down and waited for a while.
After a while, a middle-aged cultivator wearing a luxurious robe quickly walked into the room. He cupped his fists and said, "I am Xiao Yong. Greetings, Elder Chen Xiao. It's my fault for making Elder Chen wait for so long."
When Chen Xiao heard this, he waved his hand and said: "Alright, stop talking nonsense. I am here today to exchange for treasures. Bring me the list."
Chen Xiao did not care whether Xiao Yong was a member of the Xiao Family or not. As long as the other party did not cause trouble for him, he could not be bothered.
He was not a vengeful person. As long as the other party did not take the initiative to cause trouble, he could pretend that he did not exist.
"Yes, yes, yes. Please take a look. This is the list of treasures within the Chamber of Commerce."
Xiao Yong did not dare to be careless. He quickly took out a thick book from his storage ring and handed it to Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao took it and quickly looked through it, then asked: "Is the list of everything here?"
"Yes, Elder Chen, the list will be updated every day. If someone manages to exchange for a treasure, it will be removed from the list. In return, if a new treasure comes to the Sky-sea Island, it will also be included in the list. Please rest assured, Elder." Xiao Yong said in a deep voice.
He was extremely concerned about the list.
"It's like this." Chen Xiao nodded and continued to read.
Right now, he was looking for an Earth Cultivation Method. This way, he would be able to complete the Five Elements Cultivation Method and then properly cultivate the Five Elements Cultivation Method.
Before, when he had been cultivating the five elements martial arts, he had been unable to get in because he lacked an earth martial art.
Then, after flipping through it for a while, he found a suitable Cultivation Method and said, "Elder Xiao Yong, I want this Native Attribute Cultivation Method. Go and get it for me."
Chen Xiao pointed at it. It was an earth attribute cultivation method called "The Mysterious chapter of the Inner Hidden."
Xiao Yong looked at it and said: "Exchange for the Mysterious chapter of Inner Hidden. This cultivation method requires 500 Contribution Points. May I ask if Elder Chen Xiao has it?"
"Yes." Chen Xiao nodded.
"Alright, then you go and get the cultivation method." Xiao Yong pointed at the maid and instructed.
"Yes."
After a while, the maid returned with a nervous expression. She carefully whispered a few words into Xiao Yong's ear and didn't dare to make any big movements.
Seeing this, Chen Xiao asked: "What happened?"
His heart sank. Originally, he had already reconciled with the Xiao Family. Could it be that the other party still wanted to find trouble with him?
As the saying goes, a kind man is bullied by others, and a kind horse is ridden by others. His face turned cold all of a sudden.
As expected, Xiao Yong stood up and said apologetically: "Elder Chen Xiao, I'm really sorry. I just went to check, and there is no such secret manual in the treasury. It must have been taken away by someone long ago. Why don't you change to another one?"
"Change it to another one? Hmph!" Chen Xiao's face was ice-cold as he snorted.
He had looked carefully just now, and after the list, only the Mysterious chapter of the Inner Hidden Gates was suitable for him to cultivate. It could be cultivated for a short period of time and was relatively easy to cultivate.
As for the other items, they weren't too good.
But now, Xiao Yong was saying that he did not have this secret manual, and even asked a maid to put on an act. It was obvious that he was deliberately causing trouble for Chen Xiao.
Faced with Chen Xiao's threatening gaze and cold gaze, Xiao Yong only smiled indifferently. He smiled apologetically and said: "Elder Chen Xiao, is this too much of a coincidence? You just happened to catch up with me. Without this secret manual, it is not that I want to make things difficult for you. Why don't you come again next time?"
"Come back next time? No need. I'll find it myself," Chen Xiao said coldly.
Xiao Yong was startled for a moment, then sneered and said: "I'm sorry, Elder Chen Xiao. According to the rules of the Chamber of Commerce, other than the person in charge of the treasury, no one is allowed to enter the treasury without permission to search for the items. Even if you have a close relationship with Elder Su, it is the same."
Obviously, Xiao Yong was fearless and wanted to make things difficult for Chen Xiao to embarrass him.
Especially in front of Xiao Ling, making things difficult for Chen Xiao and losing face for him, it would make Xiao Yong even more proud. It would also let this guy know the consequences of offending the Xiao family, and he would definitely make it difficult for him to do anything in the future.
Hearing that, Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows. Instead of being angry, he laughed and said, "Is that so? But I don't need to enter the treasury to search. "
As he spoke, Chen Xiao also stood up and rushed towards the maid.
