Hearing Zhou Xiruo’s words, Wang Xiao suddenly smiled. “What are you thinking? Although Teacher Tian is annoying, his ability is indeed not bad. Didn’t we learn a lot in this month?”
...“But the battle comprehension you submit every time is thrown away.”
Zhou Xiruo immediately asked, clearly not believing Wang Xiao. “Don’t say that you don’t care. I don’t believe you.”
“Am I that petty in your eyes?”
Wang Xiao smiled bitterly and pulled Zhou Xiruo’s hand off his face. “I really don’t have any plans. Don’t think too much about it. By the way, we haven’t seen Ma Yunle in a long time. Shall we go to the trading market later?”
Looking at Wang Xiao’s calm expression, although Zhou Xiruo was still a little suspicious, she still nodded. Then, she took out the secret realm key and crushed it.
A golden light flashed, and Zhou Xiruo’s figure disappeared from the arena.
Only then did Wang Xiao heave a sigh of relief. He patted his chest and said with lingering fear, “This girl is really becoming smarter and smarter. Fortunately, my acting skills are good!”
After muttering a few words, Wang Xiao looked at the spot where Tian Gang had been standing previously and smiled meaningfully. Then, he took out the secret realm key and crushed it.
After leaving the ancient arena, Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo directly went to the trading market.
After finding Ma Yunle and handing over the resources he sold and bought, Wang Xiao brought Zhou Xiruo to the Lord’s Shop.
Ever since the last time they parted ways in the large secret realm, Wang Xiao and Lin Xiang had not seen each other for a month. Even the supply resources had been cut off a few times.
However, Wang Xiao could not be blamed for not keeping his word. After all, he had to write tens of thousands of words of battle comprehension every day and really did not have time to explore the secret realm.
As if because the academy’s ranking assessment was approaching, the Lord’s Shop was especially lively. As soon as Wang Xiao entered, he discovered that there were people everywvhere. Moreover, most of them were students from various academies.
Wang Xiao brought Zhou Xiruo directly to the office on the fourth floor. He took out his communicator and was about to contact Lin Xiang when someone happened to come from the fifth floor.
The two of them looked at each other and the person immediately revealed a happy expression. “Brother Wang! It’s really been a long time!”
Wang Xiao looked at the person and found him familiar, but he could not remember where he had seen the other party before. “You are?”
“I’m Li Kaifu!”
Li Kaifu smiled warmly and said, “It was also here last time. Do you still remember the 200,000 units of purple gold mineral you sold me?”
At the mention of the “200,000 units of purple gold mineral”, Wang Xiao’s memory instantly recovered. “So it’s Brother Li! My memory isn’t very good.
I’m really sorry!”
“Brother Wang, nobles are forgetful. I understand, I understand!”
Li Kaifu laughed nonchalantly. Then, he turned to look at Zhou Xiruo. “If I’m not wrong, this beauty is Brother Wang’s vassal lord—Zhou Xiruo, lord Zhou, right?”
Zhou Xiruo’s personality was introverted to begin with. When she was suddenly called a beauty by a stranger, she immediately hid behind Wang Xiao without even thinking about it. “Hello, Mr. Li. I’m Zhou Xiruo.”
Seeing Zhou Xiruo’s small actions, Li Kaifu could not help but reveal a meaningful smile. Then, he looked at Wang Xiao. “Brother Wang, could it be that you have good resources to sell today? I wonder if you can broaden my horizons?”
Wang Xiao smiled bitterly and waved his hand. “Brother Li, you must be joking. I’ve been busy training for the past month and almost don’t have time to explore the secret realm. Now, my resources are also stretched. I’m only here to discuss some private matters with Manager Lin today.”
Wang Xiao was telling the truth, but Li Kaifu thought that it was an excuse. His expression immediately turned ugly. “Brother Wang, are you looking down on
“Last time, it was indeed a little difficult for me to take all the 200,000 units of purple gold mineral alone. However, things are different now. The academy’s ranking assessment is imminent, and my family has given me a lot of money. If you really have some rare treasures, would it be so wrong for you to show them to me?”
Hearing this, Wang Xiao knew that Li Kaifu had misunderstood. He smiled bitterly and was about to explain when another person came up from downstairs. It was the manager of the Lord’s Shop’s Kaiyang branch, Lin Xiang.
“Lord Wang!”
As soon as Lin Xiang appeared, he greeted warmly, “It’s really been a long time! I didn’t believe the shop assistant when she said that she saw you go upstairs!” “I’ve been busy recently and don’t have much time to come out.”
Wang Xiao casually explained and looked at Li Kaifu. “Brother Li, I’m really only here to discuss something today. If you’re interested in trading, I’ll contact you after I organize the resources on hand. How about that?”
Li Kaifu was originally a little unhappy, but seeing that Wang Xiao’s attitude was sincere and did not seem to be lying, he finally nodded. “Then I’ll wait for Brother Wang’s good news!”
After saying that, Li Kaifu bade farewell to Lin Xiang and headed downstairs.
Lin Xiang invited Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo to the office. As soon as they sat down, he couldn’t wait to ask, “Mr. Wang just said that you had something to discuss with me. I wonder what it is?”
Wang Xiao smiled. “Manager Lin, don’t pretend to be confused. Of course, it’s about working with your shop.”
Last time, Lin Xiang wanted to sign the cooperation contract again, but because Chen Xue secretly shook her head, Wang Xiao made an excuse to go back and consider it. In the end, this “consideration” lasted for more than a month. If not for the fact that he had come to the trading market today, Wang Xiao would have almost forgotten about this.
However, this was also unintentional. Lin Xiang was a person who only cared about profit. If he agreed too readily, they might end the cooperation one day.
As the saying went, one could not eat hot tofu with haste. Dragging it out for a period of time to grind his patience could also make him take Wang Xiao more seriously.
For example, now.
Hearing that Wang Xiao wanted to talk about cooperation, Lin Xiang immediately stood up from the sofa. After pouring tea and pouring water for a long time, he rubbed his hands and probed, “Then Mr. Wang, do you mean to continue working together?”
“That’s right.”
Wang Xiao nodded. “My conditions are the same as before. I’ll help you explore the new secret realms. In exchange, you have to let me enter those secret realms sealed by the military.”
“No problem!”
Lin Xiang agreed without thinking. He picked up the teacup and said excitedly, “To be honest, after Mr. Wang returned last time, the headquarters has been asking me about our cooperation.”
“But I don’t know what you’re thinking, so I naturally don’t dare to disturb you. With your words today, I can finally rest my heart! I’ll use tea as wine to toast you!”
With that said, Lin Xiang raised his head and drank the tea in his cup in one gulp. After putting down the teacup, he smiled dryly and asked, “What a coincidence. Recently, a new [Medium Mystic Realm] has appeared. I wonder if Mr. Wang…”
Before Lin Xiang could finish, Wang Xiao raised his hand and interrupted, “Manager Lin, I should be duty-bound to do such a thing, but the academy’s ranking assessment is imminent. I really don’t have time.”
“It’s fine! I understand!”
Lin Xiang waved his hand magnanimously and revealed a puzzled expression. “Since Mr. Wang doesn’t plan to accept missions in the near future, you’re probably not just here to discuss cooperation today, right?”
“Of course not.’
Wang Xiao shook his head and glanced at Zhou Xiruo beside him. “We want to go to those sealed secret realms to take a look..”
