Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Wang Xiao wanted to see some clues from Chen Xue’s face.
However, he did not know if Chen Xue was deliberately pretending or if she really had a clear conscience. He looked at it for a long time but could not figure it out.
At this moment, Chen Xue suddenly stood up and walked towards Lin Xiang. She deliberately lowered her voice and asked, “Manager Lin, was the person you told me about previously Wang Xiao?”
Lin Xiang nodded blankly, and Chen Xue’s expression instantly darkened. “Manager Lin, do you know how dangerous this operation is? Wang Xiao is still a student. How can you let him participate in such an operation?”
After being suddenly scolded, Lin Xiang was clearly a little stunned. He was stunned for a few seconds before smiling helplessly. “Teacher Chen, don’t be agitated first. I know that Mr. Wang is still a student, but his strength is obvious to all.”
Without waiting for Chen Xue to speak, Lin Xiang raised his voice and continued, “Besides, this matter only sounds dangerous. After all, you’ve already done it so many times…”
“Manager Lin! ”
Chen Xue could tell that something was wrong and hurriedly interrupted, but she was still a step too late.
“Teacher Chen.”
Wang Xiao stood up and looked at Chen Xue with a subtle expression. “From what Manager Lin said, you’ve already done this many times?”
Chen Xue was speechless for a moment. After a few seconds, she said firmly, “I’ll explain this in the future. Anyway, go home immediately!”
“But Teacher Chen…”
“I want you to go home immediately!”
Chen Xue glared. “The two of you were once students of Kaiyang Academy. Now that you’ve gone to Yuheng Academy, you don’t even listen to me anymore?”
Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo looked at each other with helpless expressions. They really could not do anything when Chen Xue suddenly put on airs.
Just as the two ot them were teeling awkward, Lin Xiang finally stood up.
“Teacher Chen, can I say a few words?”
“What do you want to say?”
Chen Xue frowned and looked at Lin Xiang. Although her expression was not too obvious, that suppressive aura could even make the most mischievous student not dare to speak.
Unfortunately, Lin Xiang had already left school for many years.
Facing Chen Xue’s class director aura, Lin Xiang still had a smile on his face. “I understand Teacher Chen’s concern for the students and am very touched.”
“But it’s not class time now, and this is not a school. Moreover, Mr. Wang and lord Zhou are already adults, so I hope we can solve this problem as adults.”
Seeing that her usual oppression was useless, Chen Xue’s expression darkened. “What do you want to say?”
“The rules.”
Lin Xiang smiled and two [Contract Scrolls] appeared out of thin air in his hand. “This is the contract for Mr. Wang to join the Lord’s Shop and become the supplier lord. The other is the contract for Mr. Wang to participate in this operation. ”
Seeing the [Contract Scroll], Chen Xue’s pupils suddenly constricted. She already understood what Lin Xiang wanted to express.
In the lord’s world, the [Contract] was above everything.
Once he signed the [Contract], he had to complete it even if he had to risk his life. Otherwise, the punishment for violating the [Contract] might be even more tragic than death.
Instantly, the light in Chen Xue’s eyes dimmed. She returned to the sofa and said weakly, “In that case, let’s talk about tonight’s operation.”
“Thank you for your understanding, Teacher Chen.”
Lin Xiang smiled very gentlemanly, put away the [Contract Scroll], and sat opposite Chen Xue.
Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo looked at each other and also sat down beside Chen Xue. Chen Xue only looked at them with a complicated expression and did not say anything.
“Since everyone is here, I’ll begin.”
Lin Xiang clapped his hands and said his opening words again, as if nothing had happened.
“The first goal of this operation is to choose a safe and hidden location in the secret realm and successfully install the [Secret Realm Locator].”
“Other than that, it’s naturally better if we can gather some information about the secret realm and even gather scarce resources. However, if there’s no suitable time, we won’t force it.”
At this point, Lin Xiang smiled and clapped his hands again. “To put it simply, that’s it. Do you have any more questions?”
“I have a question…”
Wang Xiao raised his hand weakly and subconsciously glanced at Chen Xue.
When he realized that the other party was not looking at him, he asked softly, “I want to bring my vassal lord along… Can I?”
“Of course.”
Lin Xiang nodded without thinking. “You can bring as many people as you want, but we will only pay for one person. Also—”
With a thought, Lin Xiang took out a brand new [Contract Scroll]. “Lord Zhou needs to sign another confidentiality contract.”
Zhou Xiruo took the contract and looked at it. When she realized that there was only one requirement for keeping this operation a secret, she cut her finger and signed it without hesitation.
Clap!
Lin Xiang clapped his hands and stood up. He gestured at the door. “Since everyone has no more questions, let’s set off.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Xue immediately stood up and walked out. When Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo followed her out, Chen Xue was already gone from the corridor.
Wang Xiao narrowed his eyes when he saw this. Chen Xue was very familiar with this place, which meant that this was not her first time participating. Then, did Lin Xiang know that Chen Xue was Chen Jinrong’s daughter?
He was puzzled, but he could not ask. After all, it was fine if Lin Xiang knew, but if he did not know, wouldn’t he have betrayed Chen Xue?
After hesitating for a while, Wang Xiao finally decided to bide his time. In any case, he was about to enter the secret realm. At that time, it would be the same to ask Chen Xue.
After returning to his senses, Wang Xiao looked around and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
At this moment, they had already reached the sixth floor, but Lin Xiang had no intention of stopping. Instead, he continued to walk up.
Wang Xiao was stunned at first. Then, he suddenly realized something and immediately became excited.
He had once heard from Ma Yunle that the Lord’s Shop in Kaiyang City had a total of seven floors. The functions of each floor were different.
The first three floors were open to the public. From the first floor to the third floor, there were materials, items, and skills. Although most of the goods were of average quality, they did not have any requirements for customers. Anyone could come in and shop.
The fourth level was the office area. Lin Xiang and the shop assistant usually rested and worked here. This was also a separator for the Lord’s Shop.
After passing the office area, the fifth floor was the VIP floor. Many high-quality resources could only be bought here.
On the sixth level, it was the warehouse of the Lord’s Shop. Moreover, one could also buy many strange things. For example, the secret realm where Wang Xiao obtained the [Gold Armor Black Turtle] was found here.
As for the seventh floor, even Ma Yunle, who had been in the trading market for many years, did not know what was going on inside.. He was about to unveil the mystery of the seventh floor!
