Chapter 1024: Identity Sorted Out
Chapter 1024: Chapter 1024: Identity Sorted Out
Thus, Lan Xuanyu was actually very grateful to General Yu Muchen, for it was he who had provided the opportunity that allowed them to step forward. The academy, Tang Sect, wanted them to gain experience, while General Yu Muchen wanted to help the military win them over. However, Lan Xuanyu himself was quite clear in his thinking—he wanted to become stronger and to make his companions stronger as well. He never wanted to face the situation again where his mother had been in a life-threatening crisis just to protect him.
Nan Cheng, Nana, had both faced that sort of situation before, and that feeling of helplessness was forever imprinted in his soul. He needed to become stronger, continually stronger, to protect those he wished to protect.
With determination hardening, Lan Xuanyu’s breathing also became more even. He didn’t meditate; instead, he fell asleep leaning on the couch.
The night passed without incident.
Early the next morning, Fenglong City was just as usual, behaving no differently than before. Such a huge city would naturally not change just because of an auction that took place the previous day. As for what kind of deal the Imperial and Sky Domination Clan had reached, likewise, no one knew.
After breakfast, Lan Xuanyu and the others left their rooms. Led by Bai Xiuxiu, the group began to stroll around Fenglong City.
Early in the morning, a communicator was delivered to Bai Xiuxiu. It was a Fenglong City exclusive communicator with only one number saved—Huang Yuanlang. Along with it was a card, a golden-red card, the highest-level VIP card from Sky Dragon Bank. All her information had already been registered; it belonged to Bai Xiuxiu. The person who delivered the card told Bai Xiuxiu that she could overdraft without limit and buy anything she wanted. All the expenses would be paid off by Huang Yuanlang.
Huang Yuanlang had made a reservation for lunch, inviting Bai Xiuxiu to attend. And all this was based on his investigation of Bai Xiuxiu. Just as Lan Xuanyu had predicted, Liang Pu was investigated. Everything had been dealt with quite ordinarily.
After wandering around for a morning, at lunchtime, Bai Xiuxiu arrived at the place Huang Yuanlang had reserved. Lan Xuanyu and the others were arranged to dine in another room of the same restaurant.
Lunch went by even quicker than expected; in just over an hour, Bai Xiuxiu finished dining with Huang Yuanlang.
When she came out of the restaurant, her gaze towards Lan Xuanyu became strange, mixed with a bit of admiration.
“The same as what you told me last night?” Lan Xuanyu asked Bai Xiuxiu with a smile.
“Almost no difference at all,” Bai Xiuxiu said somewhat helplessly. “You schemers are truly terrifying. I’m even starting to feel a bit scared of you now.”
“That’s not called scheming, that’s called wisdom. My wisdom is completely useless in front of you! In front of you, I even think of myself as a fool,” Lan Xuanyu complained.
“Enough with you two! Public displays of affection, is this really okay? Especially on someone else’s turf,” Lan Mengqin rolled her eyes.
Lan Xuanyu said, “You two could too, we don’t mind.”
“Tch—”
“So where are we going now? Back?” Bai Xiuxiu asked.
Lan Xuanyu said, “Let’s head back. Liang Pu has returned. The fact that Huang Yuanlang had such a short lunch with you today, and that he conveyed everything I expected him to, means that he has some urgent matters to attend to. It’s definitely something to do with the Sky Domination Clan that hasn’t been completely settled.”
“Should I ask him about it? Or maybe hint around a bit?” Bai Xiuxiu suggested.
“Don’t ever do that. Just pretend you know nothing about it. You must not let him think you have any purpose for coming here. Just act as if you don’t care about anything. When will he be able to finish your identity verification?” Lan Xuanyu asked.
“He said it would be delivered tomorrow. From tomorrow on, I will belong to the upper ranks of the Imperial Dragon Clan. He also told me today that this matter must be kept a secret. If I want to go back, it’s best to come to Fenglong City as early as possible and not go to other major cities. He said that Fenglong City has places that are especially suitable for my cultivation. He also mentioned that the Imperial family has many techniques suitable for my cultivation.”
Lan Xuanyu smiled slightly and said, “That’s certain. How did he describe the strength of the Dragon Knights?”
Bai Xiuxiu replied, “He meant to say that the Dragon Knights are the strongest combat force today, even among the strongest in the entire universe. He said both he and I have a chance to become Dragon Knights and that I have an even greater opportunity than he does.”
Lan Xuanyu said, “Hmm, the strongest is hard to say. But him saying you have a greater chance definitely has to do with your dual attribute. He’s interested in your potential.”
Bai Xiuxiu said, “He also mentioned that the Imperial family would specially forge the most suitable weapon for me. They would create a unique Dragonlance for me. I didn’t refuse that because I thought it would seem abnormal to do so.”
Lan Xuanyu’s mind stirred, “Did he say anything about the abilities of the Dragonlance?”
Bai Xiuxiu shook her head, “He didn’t say. But from what he implied, the Dragonlance seems to be very important for Dragon Knights. It seems that many of the Dragon Knights’ strong abilities have to be manifested through the Dragonlance. I didn’t ask too much, just like you said, in front of him, I try to show as little desire as possible.”
Lan Xuanyu’s eyes narrowed slightly, “I think I understand. There must be secrets among the Dragon Knights. You can learn more about this. Just don’t be too eager.”
“Okay,” Bai Xiuxiu nodded, “He also asked me today when I would return. I didn’t tell him explicitly.”
Lan Xuanyu said, “He will certainly contact you tomorrow, tell him we will leave the day after tomorrow or the day following. He will definitely invite you again to settle in Fenglong City. This time, you can agree to him. But if he invites you to meet his father, say you’ll discuss it when you return. Don’t meet his father this time.”
“Okay,” Bai Xiuxiu nodded her head.
Huang Yuanlang’s father might be a God level strong member of the Dragon Clan, and if that were the case, the possibility of Bai Xiuxiu’s exposure would increase.
After all, the Dragon Clan here are dragons that take on human form, while they are humans assuming the form of dragons. The difference in abilities is also significant. Their only reliance is that the Demon Queen is originally from the Dragon Clan; with the Demon Queen’s assistance, it will be relatively easy for Bai Xiuxiu to conceal her identity.
Everyone returned to their dwelling to rest. As expected, Liang Pu returned in the evening. He brought the identity that had been processed for Lan Xuanyu. The metals for forging, including soul forging, were sold; the price was not too high, but still acceptable. Ten pieces of metal sold for one million Dragon Horse Coins in total. They got seven hundred thousand.
Adding the income from the previous betting, Lan Xuanyu and his group now had two million Dragon Horse Coins on hand.
Lan Xuanyu entrusted all this money to Liang Pu, asking him to purchase magic silver. With Liang Pu now fully under his control, because this was the first time controlling an outsider using the divine consciousness of a Treasure Hunting Beast, the previous trade with the forging metals was a trial process.
Liang Pu’s current state was somewhat special, like being hypnotized. If the Treasure Hunting Beast did not manipulate him, in his subconscious, there were also some conditions imprinted in his heart. For example, if someone asked about Lan Xuanyu and his group, he would respond according to the hints left by the Treasure Hunting Beast. At other times, he was still the same as before, with no difference.
With this control, it was naturally much easier to have him run errands.
The value of magic silver was too high in the Douluo Federation; Lan Xuanyu and his team didn’t have the money to purchase it. But here, it was much cheaper. The purpose of procuring magic silver, naturally, was to feed the Void Bug.
Today, the greatest gain for Bai Xiuxiu was a necklace with a pendant hanging an odd silver Crystal. It was not a Space Source Crystal. The atmosphere of its attributes was similar, yet different from that of the Space Source Crystal. It was a Storage Necklace. The storage space inside was even larger than Lan Xuanyu’s Ring of Destiny by a bit. It was like having a separate small space. All the things she got from the auction were inside it. This resource was definitely astonishing.
