The transaction conditions had been negotiated, and Wang Xiao also put away the communicator.
Lin Xiang poured tea for the two of them with a bitter expression. “Mr. Wang, although we’ve already signed a contract, I still want to advise you.”
“It makes sense for those secret realms to be sealed. Therefore, even if you want to enter and explore, you have to choose according to your strength.
Don’t do anything outside your ability.”
“Don’t worry, I haven’t lived long enough. ”
Wang Xiao smiled faintly. His impression of Lin Xiang had also changed slightly.
After all, after he entered the secret realm, he was completely responsible for his life and death. There was actually no need for Lin Xiang to say such things to him, but the other party still took the risk of violating the contract.
Suddenly, Wang Xiao somewhat believed Lin Xiang’s words about treating him as a friend.
After silently drinking tea for a while, Wang Xiao pointed at the communicator at the side. “Manager Lin, I have a small problem. The locator hasn’t been placed yet. How can you let me accurately enter that large secret realm?”
“I have a brilliant plan. You don’t have to ask too much about this.”
Lin Xiang pretended to be mysterious and smiled. “Go back and prepare first.
I’ll meet you at the shop at eight tonight. At that time, I’ll introduce you to an expert.”
“An expert?”
Wang Xiao frowned. “Aren’t I going alone?”
“With someone accompanying you, you guys can take care of each other!”
Lin Xiang smiled and explained, “This is also for your safety.”
“Alright.”
Wang Xiao nodded helplessly and drank the last mouthful of tea in his cup before getting up to leave the Lord’s Shop.
He had already completed the first step in his plan to settle scores with Chen Jinrong.
Wang Xiao planned his next plan and walked home. Just as he reached the door, he saw Zhou Xiruo sitting at his door. Her eyes were red. It was obvious that she had just cried.
“Zhou Xiruo?”
Wang Xiao hurriedly went up to him. “What’s wrong with you? Who bullied you?”
“Other than you, who else dares to bully me now?!”
Zhou Xiruo punched Wang Xiao neither lightly nor forcefully and said angrily with a sobbing tone, “What exactly did you do? Can you not be so rash in the future? Do you know how worried I was?!”
“Why do you sound like my mother…”
Wang Xiao muttered softly in his heart, but he did not dare to really say it.
After coaxing her with a smile for a long time, it was still useless. Wang Xiao could only say honestly, “Manager Lin Xianglin looked for me to discuss a collaboration, so I went…’
“Talk about a collaboration?”
Zhou Xiruo seemed to be used to being Wang Xiao’s butler now. When she heard this, she immediately became energetic. “What cooperation? Didn’t you just finish discussing earlier?”
“It’s about something else.”
Seeing that he had successfully diverted Zhou Xiruo’s attention, Wang Xiao roughly explained the content of his cooperation with Lin Xiang. However, in order not to let the other party continue to worry, he deliberately hid the dangerous part.
After Zhou Xiruo heard this, she nodded thoughtfully. “I’ve indeed heard a similar rumor before. It’s said that the items in the Lord’s Shop came from illegitimate sources. I didn’t expect it to be like this.”
Hearing the words “illegal sources”, the corners of Wang Xiao’s mouth could not help but twitch. “It’s not to the extent of ‘illegal sources’, right? Actually, I think what Manager Lin said makes sense. It’s a waste to give up those secret realms for nothing.”
“You don’t have to explain. I understand.”
Zhou Xiruo nodded and suddenly looked a little embarrassed. “Actually, someone in my family does this kind of secret exploration… It’s just that I didn’t know that it was because of this”
“You have someone in your family who does this?”
Wang Xiao was shocked when he heard this. Speaking of which, he had known Zhou Xiruo for so long and really did not know what the other party’s family situation was. He only knew that her family background seemed to be not bad, but it was not to the extent of a “big family”.
Zhou Xiruo didn’t seem to want to talk about this topic anymore. She nodded and changed the topic. “Then when are you leaving?
“Eight o’clock tonight.”
Wang Xiao replied truthfully. When entering the secret realm, Zhou Xiruo would also sense it since she was his vassal lord. Because of this, there was no need for him to hide it.
“Eight o’clock…”
Zhou Xiruo revealed a thoughtful expression again. “Time is a little tight. Looks like I can only postpone the best friend gathering…”
“Wait a moment!”
When Wang Xiao heard that something was wrong, he hurriedly interrupted, “What do you mean? You’re going too?”
“Of course!”
Zhou Xiruo said confidently, “I’m your vassal lord. How can I let you take the risk yourself?”
Wang Xiao immediately revealed a difficult expression.
Although there was strength in numbers, this was a [large secret realm]. No one Imew the situation inside.
Wang Xiao originally wanted to go in himself. If he really encountered danger, he was confident that he could escape unscathed. If he brought another one, it might instead drag him down. After all, there was still a considerable difference in their current strength.
As if she could tell that Wang Xiao wanted to refuse, Zhou Xiruo suddenly hugged Wang Xiao’s arm. “If you don’t bring me there, then I won’t let you go anywhere today!”
“Sigh!”
Wang Xiao was shocked and wanted to break free, but he did not expect Zhou Xiruo to be powerful despite being so thin. The strength in her hand was not any weaker than his. He tried a few times, but she still did not budge.
“You’re being shameless!”
Wang Xiao collapsed helplessly.
Zhou Xiruo grabbed Wang Xiao’s arm and did not say anything, but the smug expression on her face seemed to say, “I’m being shameless. What can you do?”
After failing a few more times, Wang Xiao could only secretly say that the plan could not keep up with the changes. He raised his hand and surrendered. “Alright, alright, alright. I’ll bring you there, alright? However, you must not run around. You must listen to my instructions.”
“Don’t worry! It’s not my first day being your vassal lord!”
Zhou Xiruo smiled smugly and let go of Wang Xiao. After a while, she carefully probed, “Um… what are you going to do about Commander Chen?”
Hearing this, Wang Xiao’s expression also became serious. “I haven’t thought of a specific method for the time being, but I definitely won’t let it go.”
Zhou Xiruo immediately revealed a worried expression when she heard this. However, before she could speak, Wang Xiao continued, “However, don’t worry. I just want to take advantage of him. I definitely won’t do anything rash.”
Seeing Wang Xiao’s serious and calm appearance, Zhou Xiruo immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
She had rushed over previously because she was afraid that Wang Xiao would do something extreme on impulse. After all, the other party had been impulsive many times in the past.
However, from the looks of it, Wang Xiao was much more mature than she had imagined. She did not say the words of persuasion she had prepared previously.
After chatting for a while, the two of them entered the territory again and got busy. When they felt that it was about time, they left the territory and headed for the Lord’s Shop.
At night, it was also relatively busy in the Lord’s Shop. When the two of them entered the shop, it was so crowded that there was almost no place to stay.
Seeing this situation, Wang Xiao directly brought Zhou Xiruo upstairs. He originally wanted to go to the office to contact Lin Xiang, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw a young beauty sitting inside.
“Teacher Chen?”
Wang Xiao recognized the other party at a glance. It was Chen Xue, the class director of the Kaiyang Academy he had attended in the past..
