4104 The merchant fan he!
&Quot; I met a familiar person just now ⦠I wanted to avoid him, but he also noticed me and rushed over ⦠After confirming that it was me, he didnât say a word and just turned around and flew away ⦠&Quot;
Gumokoâs voice trembled as he said, â my cultivation is lower than his. I canât catch up to him at all ⦠If he leaves, he will most likely expose our whereabouts ⦠I hope Childe Chen will believe me. I did not do it on purpose. It definitely was not ⦠&Quot;
Gumoko was not guilty because he had done something bad, but because he had exposed himself. He was afraid that Chen Xiaobei would punish him or even kill him.
âAlright, you donât have to be too nervous! This time, I miscalculated â¦â
&Quot; Oh? â Chen Xiaobei frowned. &Quot; I thought that this place was a billion miles away from the ningâs sacred city, so I didnât ask you to wear a human skin mask! &Quot; To suddenly meet someone familiar, I can only say that man proposes but God disposes. Itâs my bad luck â¦â
Upon hearing this, gumoko felt as if he had been granted Amnesty.
Fortunately, Chen Xiaobei was a reasonable master, so she was able to keep her life.
âHow long has that person been gone?â Chen Xiaobei asked.
&Quot; weâve been walking for about an hour ⦠&Quot; gumoko said embarrassedly, â âItâs too late to chase after him now, because I donât know where he went â¦â He said.
âWho said Iâm going to chase him? I just want to make sure if ning Tiancheng will be there in person!â Chen Xiaobei said.
âHow ⦠How can we be sure?â Gumokoâs face was full of doubt.
&Quot; the Holy King has the power to break through the void. If your acquaintance exposed your whereabouts, ning Tiancheng would be here in an instant. Why would he wait for you for an hour? â Chen Xiaobei said.
âYeah! Young master Chenâs words are reasonable!â Gumokoâs face was full of surprise, and then, he asked doubtfully, â âBut why didnât he tell ning Tiancheng about my whereabouts?â
âWhoâs that acquaintance of yours?â Chen Xiaobei asked.
&Quot; his name is fan he, a nine-star true sage. He used to run a Chamber of Commerce in the ning clanâs sacred city. We are good friends! &Quot; Gumoko said.
âI understand!â
âFirst of all, this man is not a henchman of the ning family! Therefore, he would not be loyal to ning Tiancheng! Secondly, this person is a businessman. He might be weighing who to sell the information to in order to gain the most benefits!â
âYes, yes, yes! Young master Chen is absolutely right!â
Gu Moke nodded his head and said,âfan he is indeed a ruthless man who disrespects the ning clan. Every time he drinks too much, he would curse the dark and corrupt upper echelons of the ning clan!â Moreover, this guy is very calculative and never does a losing business!â
âWell, this explains it!â
&Quot; this fan he must have known that youâre related to me. Thatâs why he did not dare to attack you even though his cultivation is higher than yours. Thatâs why he ran away! &Quot; And he didnât immediately sell out your whereabouts, which means that heâs waiting for a better buyer than ning Tiancheng!â
âYes, yes, yes, young master Chen is too smart!â Gumoko nodded his head continuously, his eyes filled with deep admiration.
âContact him now! Just say that I have something to discuss with him!â Chen Xiaobei said.
Gumoko really admired Chen Xiaobei, and did as he was told.
Using the communication rune, gumoko was able to contact Fan he.
Just as Chen Xiaobei had expected, fan he agreed to negotiate with Chen Xiaobei.
After that, Chen Xiaobei and fan he established a communication rune, and they could contact each other directly.
Fan he,âIâm curious, why did you think of negotiating with me?â Do you know that I can sell out your whereabouts at any time?
Chen Xiaobei: â gumoko said that youâre a calculative businessman. Youâre also selling information. If you sell it to me, youâll definitely get the most out of it! &Quot;
Fan he,âwhat?â Big head Gu dared to say that Iâm calculative? I really should have given him a punch before leaving!
Chen Xiaobei: â Hmph! You really donât want to take any losses! &Quot; Gumoko only said one sentence and you had to punch him!
Fan he: â I, fan he, will do anything in the world except for making a loss! &Quot;
Chen Xiaobei: â Hmph! I like people like you! &Quot; He was straightforward and consistent with his actions! Donât worry, you wonât lose anything doing business with me!
Fan he,âyou sure are confident!â Tell me, what price are you offering to seal my mouth?
Chen Xiaobei: â then you have to tell me first. Who wants to know my whereabouts? â What was the price they offered?
Fan he,âning Tiancheng will be the first to bear the brunt. He has already promised that whoever can help him find the person who destroyed the ning clanâs sacred city, he is willing to give a reward of three hundred million Saint origin crystal stones!â
âBut you didnât choose to work with ning Tiancheng!â
Fan he: â en, I donât like the higher-ups of the ning clan. Besides, three hundred million Saint origin crystal stones is not enough! &Quot;
Chen Xiaobei, I donât think itâs that simple! I more or less understand ning Tianchengâs character! If you provide him with information, itâs very likely that he will turn around and kill you. This way, you can save the three hundred million Saint origin crystal stones!
Fan he,âlooks like youâre quite smart!â
Chen Xiaobei: â youâre a profit-driven businessman. If you donât want to earn money, youâre afraid that youâll die to spend it! &Quot; This wasnât hard to guess!
Fan he,âthen I wonât beat around the bush with you. Thereâs another power thatâs interested in your whereabouts!â They were the nemesis of the ning clan, the guyin clan of Tian mountain!
Chen Xiaobei thought,âenemies of the nings?â Why would they be interested in me? You want to use my hand to deal with ning Tiancheng?
Fan he: â the enemy of my enemy is my friend. The overall strength of the Gu Yin clan is weaker than the ning clan. We naturally need allies to fight against the ning clan! &Quot;
Chen Xiaobei,âso, whatâs the price of the Gu Yin clan?â
Fan he,âthe Gu Yin clanâs bid is also 300 million!â
Chen Xiaobei thought,âhehe, the Gu Yin clan doesnât look that rich!â At this time, he was still calculative!
Fan he, [ the Gu Yin clan has been suppressed by the ning clan for a long time and is struggling to survive. Itâs already good enough that they can take out 300 million! ]
Fan he,âthe reason why I didnât agree to the Gu Yin clanâs request was because I was worried that they wouldnât even be able to take out 300 million!â
[ so, youâve been wavering between ning Tiancheng and the guyin clan. No matter which side you choose, youâll have to take some risk! ]
Fan he: This is why I havenât decided yet! So, I wonât haggle, as long as you can take out 300 million! I promise to keep my mouth shut and not reveal your whereabouts!
Chen Xiaobei: â What if I donât agree? â
Fan he,âyou donât agree?â Iâll send your message to ning Tiancheng in ten seconds. The Holy King will break the void and be near you in an instant! The power of a Saint King could destroy an entire Prefecture with a snap of his fingers! You will die without a doubt!
Chen Xiaobei:
Fan he,âyou ⦠Youâre not afraid of death?â
âOf course Iâm afraid of death, but I wonât die!â Last time, when I took out the Holy Meridian of the ning clanâs holy city, ning Tiancheng broke through the void and came. Didnât I also retreat in one piece?
Fan he,âthat was last time!â Iâm afraid you wonât be so lucky this time!
âWhat ⦠What do you mean?!â (Bewildered)
