Chapter 284: Getting there first?
"Well, okay. Yun Jin, just do it as before. I have no objection."
After hearing Zuo Xi's answer, Shen He agreed without asking any more questions. It was difficult for her to make a choice in the first place, so of course she had no objection to Zuo Xi making the choice for her. Besides, since she said she would listen to Zuo Xi, she would not have any doubts about his decision.
"I understand, then let's follow this version."
Yun Jin also didn't ask the reason, although logically she should. But since I have said before that there is no need to consider the factor of time, then the other party's choice should have his intention for various reasons.
She didn't mean to say how much she trusted Zuo Xi. She mainly gave him the right to choose, and then asked him the reason after she was done. This can hardly be seen as deliberately making things difficult for others.
"...I thought you would ask about the reason. But forget it, the matter here is over, so we can go back."
Zuo Xi happily waited for Yun Jin to ask him the reason, and he was even ready with how to answer.
"
"Can I ask why?"
"That's your freedom, but whether to say it or not is my freedom."
"???"
"I only said the conclusion directly, and I didn't say I would explain the reasons later."
'
The above is what he had in mind.
Although it doesn't make any sense to peel off like this, it makes me happy when I peel off.
It's a pity that these two people didn't give him a chance.
"By the way Zuo Xi, I invited you here for other reasons besides collecting materials. You care about Lord [Tianquan]'s reward, right?"
Zuo Xi thought the matter was over now, but Yun Jin didn't think so. Zuo Xi promised to solve the venue problem for her, so in return she had to pay more attention to the things he cared about.
"As you know, I have paid attention to that bounty before. I have been collecting relevant information some time ago. I have not found any information related to "Xianjia Talisman" and "Mingxia Fusheng Stone". Fortunately, "Mingxia Fusheng Stone" "There are still a few left in Liyue, and the "Immortal Talisman" should not be a problem based on your relationship with the immortal.
I can't help with the above two objects, but I can provide information on the "Qianqi Core". "
Yun Jin's attitude is very sincere, and considering her character, this is not difficult to understand. But there was some anxiety and guilt on his expression, which made Zuo Xi a little confused.
"Well...is there something wrong with my understanding? This should be considered a good thing, right? But the expression on your face doesn't look like you are telling something happy at all.
Instead, it seems to be describing something regrettable... Oh, I understand. Someone got there first, right? "
While observing Yun Jin's expression, Zuo Xi was thinking about reasonable explanations in his mind. The other party will talk about this matter, probably intending to share the information with him to help.
The guilty expression indicates that for some reason, this information may have become invalid or has lost its original value. At the very least, the value is still greatly reduced.
The anxious expression shows that there may be room for recovery in this matter, but there is not enough time and more time is needed.
Thinking again about the source of information about the "Qianqi Core" here - Lao Zhang, he is not a particularly secretive person. Combining the previous two points, it is not difficult to infer that someone has already taken advantage of this matter.
In fact, Zuo Xi could probably guess who this "quick-start" person was, or who he was working for... Heh, it seems that Mr. [Tianquan] is still struggling desperately for the last bit of dignity.
"You, can you guess this?"
Yun Jin was really shocked now. If Zuo Xi knew the immortal before, it could be said that he had a wide network of connections. But is it too incredible to be able to guess this?
"You're right. In fact, the news I got is that clues about the "Secret Flower Stone" may be found in the villages at the foot of Tianheng Mountain. The "Secret Flower Stone" is one of the necessary materials for making the "Qianqi Core". Another material is "Broken Star Iron Ore". That ore needs to be found using the iron ore's resonance with the Eye of God...
Although "Broken Star Iron Ore" is difficult to find, it is not as rare as "Secret Flower Stone". You should be able to find it with some effort. But the "Secret Flower Stone"... There is indeed information about the whereabouts of the "Secret Flower Stone" in this village, but the old uncle just said that some people had come here to look for it earlier today. And judging from their appearance, they must have found them.
We can't wait until tomorrow. If we look for it now, we should still hope to find it before that group of people. So, let’s get going! "
Yun Jin was a little anxious, as the other party had the advantage in terms of time. The other party came earlier, and I and the others had nothing to say. They could only hope to move faster in the future to get ahead of the previous group of people.
"It doesn't matter, Yun Jin. As you said, I have already acquired the "Xianjia Talisman" and "Mingxia Fusheng Stone", and of course I have my own plans for this "Qianqi Core".
So those people, let them be. Now, we will return to Liyue Port to recuperate. In a few days it will be time for Ningguang to announce the results of the competition. "
……
"Lord Ningguang, the "Qianqi Core" has been obtained. As expected, the executive officer got the same news from somewhere. Fortunately, your Excellency had a clever plan and sent someone to take away the key materials one step ahead. This made the executive achieve nothing during the trip. "
While Baishi was reporting the situation, he looked at Ningguang with bright eyes. Everything was as Lord Ningguang expected. The executive officer was running around, but in the end he found nothing. This is all the result of Master Ningguang’s clever calculation!
The previous defeat was just because the other party had taken advantage of the Immortal family. Now, as soon as they returned to something that had nothing to do with the Immortals, the advantage was suddenly snatched back by Lord Ningguang. As expected of Lord Ningguang... Hehe, my Lord Ningguang... Hehe, hehehe...
"Well, very good. Send out the invitation... No, you should come and visit in person. Make an appointment for a banquet on the night when the results will be announced in three days. In addition, let Baiwen draft a notice. The content is that "Qunyu Pavilion" will be renamed " "Liu Xi Palace", the specific method, words and reasons are also decided by her. "
Although the "Qianqi Core" had indeed been obtained, Ningguang knew in her heart that this was just to make her defeat less ugly. The outcome of this competition has already been determined. According to the bet, she had to change the name of "Qunyu Pavilion" to "Liuxi Palace"... Oh, that's all.
……
In the waters outside Liyue Port, several warships belonging to the Foolish People were anchored there. Since the last time these warships saved the huge tsunami that was about to hit Liyue Port, they have been staying here. Over time, the people of Liyue have become accustomed to the few steel behemoths on the sea outside the harbor.
That night, a group of soldiers stationed on the main ship were patrolling as usual to detect possible dangers.
Everything was as normal as before, until he passed by the deck for the third time and spotted the elegant figure on the deck. His body tensed subconsciously, and when he was about to instruct the accompanying Titan to raise an alarm, he discovered that the Titan did not enter the alert mode as instructed.
He immediately understood what had happened, and without hesitation, he knelt down on one knee to salute the figure.
"[Mortal] Lord!"
