Strangely, the shop owner seemed reluctant to see Xia Fei and Fuchen leave as his eyes were filled with disappointment.
"Could it be that the two masters aren't interested in these things?" The old man asked nervously.
"Perhaps next time." Fuchen replied politely.
Xia Fei thought for a moment and asked with a smile, "I wonder if there's a decent warship repair shop nearby. Our ship encountered some problems on the way here and needs some repairs."
The old man was startled at first, but then he smiled and said, "You've asked the right person. There's a large repair dock not far from the Crescent Moon Harbor. The owner's surname is Cai, and his craftsmanship is top-notch in the area. Many warships from other Star Fields are attracted by his reputation. Why don't the two of you take a look there?"
Fuchen originally thought that Xia Fei was just asking casually. After all, even if there was a repair dock in such a desolate place, it wouldn't be too outstanding. It was far more convenient to return to the bustling core region of the universe.
Who knew that Xia Fei would take it seriously. Not only did he note down the location of the repair dock, he even carefully noted down the phone number of the boss.
After exiting the door, Fuchen asked, "Are you really planning to repair the ship nearby? It's not like the Silver Soul can't be used. Why are you docking it in the wilderness?"
Xia Fei smiled and said, "A little repair won't take up much time. Besides, it's actually not bad to repair it in the wilderness. If it's in a bustling area, the secret of this ship will be spread soon. By then, it's inevitable that someone will have designs on us. It's better to keep a low profile."
Despite saying so, Xia Fei quietly released the Bewitching Blade Nirvana. It was unknown what order Xia Fei gave the Source, but it quickly vanished at the end of the street.
"What are you doing?" Fuchen asked curiously.
"Nothing much, just letting the Source disperse. I'm also looking for any valuable shops nearby. I'm too lazy to make a trip myself. "Xia Fei didn't think much of it.
…
It was still the same shop. After Xia Fei and Fuchen left, the old man let out a long breath and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve.
"Keep watch at the front and call me if there's anything." The old man said to the manservant in the shop.
He turned around and returned to his room on the second floor. There was an open screen in the room and an old man was waiting there.
If Fuchen saw this person, he would surely turn pale with fright because he was Ling Lanzi's father, Ling Yan.
"How's it going?" Ling Yan asked with a frown.
"I wasn't able to sell the marked Soul Tool. But I have already convinced them to repair the warship nearby. If everything goes well, he will go to Cai Kangnian's shipyard this afternoon. "
Ling Yan shook his head and said to himself, "Why did you drag Cai Kangnian into this all of a sudden? I don't want anything to do with him. "
"It happened so suddenly. I thought that they would definitely be interested in that black soul weapon. However, they didn't even look at us, so I couldn't help you locate their coordinates. So, I had to find a way to keep them nearby. "
"Cai Kangnian's repair dock is the only way to attract them. If you don't want to have anything to do with Cai Kangnian, just wait for them to finish repairing the ship before you make your move. "
Suzuko nodded. "Very well. Remember, this matter must be kept a secret. Someone will naturally deliver your bounty. Don't worry, I'm a man of my word. "
The shop owner was naturally very grateful. Xia Fei and the others didn't know that Suzuko had already used his authority in the Cleric Union to secretly issue an order to search for Fuchen and even offered a huge bounty.
Not many people recognized Fuchen, but many people in the circle had seen Fuchen. When this shop owner saw Fuchen, he knew that his chance to make a fortune had come. As long as he told Suzuko this news, he would be able to make a huge sum of money!
Closing the screen, Suzuko walked out of his study with a dark expression. He saw his wife sitting in the living room with a bitter expression and didn't even greet him.
"Is Lan 'er doing well?" Suzuko walked over to his wife and asked in a nice tone.
"What's good about it? I really don't know how you are a father. Your son-in-law was killed and your daughter was bullied, yet you actually sat back and did nothing! If I knew that you were such a coward, I would rather marry a chicken or a dog than marry you! "
"Surnamed Ling, tell me clearly. Are you going to take revenge or not? If you are afraid of Fuchen, I will go look for my father! Let Lan 'er's grandfather and uncle step forward! "
This volley of curses made Ling Yan's face very embarrassed.
Suzuko might have a high position in the Cleric Association, but he was the typical third-in-command of the family. His wife listened to his wife, but his wife didn't listen to her daughter, so his days were rather miserable.
There was no helping it. Madam Ling was born into a wealthy family, and her family's financial situation was far superior to the Suzuko family's. Of course, Madam Ling's temper was also proportional to her family background. Suzuko did not even have a son and was about to die out. Suzuko did not dare to talk about taking a concubine because he was afraid of his wife.
However, dying out was not a solution, so Suzuko took in the orphan Zhong Qiu as his son-in-law. Unfortunately, Ling Lanzi and Zhong Qiu did not have any children after their marriage. Now that his son-in-law had been killed by Xia Fei, Old Suzuko was about to die out again!
In fact, with how advanced cloning technology was, Suzuko could use his genes to clone a few sons, but the big shots in the Alpha Universe were very particular about tradition. If Suzuko really did that, he would definitely be looked down upon and would no longer be able to mingle in the circle. Madam Ling could not afford to lose face like that.
Suzuko sighed and said, "I'm innocent. When did I say that I won't take revenge? But the opponent is that old monster, Fuchen. I have to make some preparations. I just received news that Fuchen and that mysterious young man have appeared in the Falcon Constellation. I'll set off tomorrow to seek justice for our daughter. "
"You found Fuchen?!" Madam Ling immediately stood up with a venomous look in her eyes.
"I just received a secret tip." Suzuko smiled apologetically.
"Tomorrow? No way! You have to set off right now! If you don't twist Fuchen's head off, you don't have to return to this family anymore! "Madam Ling had the air of a heroine as she spoke sternly.
"Now? I say, Madam, that's Fuchen, an old monster level character! As the saying goes, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. If I go without any preparations, I'm afraid I won't be able to return. "Suzuko said.
"I don't care! In any case, Fuchen must die! If you can't do it, hmph! "Madam Ling said unreasonably.
Suzuko sighed. If women were unreasonable, even the gods could do nothing about them, let alone this evil woman of his.
"Fuchen, ah, Fuchen, it's better for you to die than for me to die, so don't blame me for not following the rules …" Suzuko muttered to himself as he left the room in frustration.
…
Xia Fei could not see anything strange. He quickly set off after returning to the Silver Soul, his destination was Cai Kangnian's repair dock.
The distance was not far, and in less than two hours, a large repair dock appeared in front of Xia Fei.
This dock was built on a planet's orbit and was equivalent to a large space station. It looked a little shabby, but it was still functioning well.
There was no need to mention the standard procedure of docking and berthing. What Xia Fei was curious about was that the owner of this repair dock, Cai Kangnian, did not look like a businessman no matter how he looked at it. The moment the Silver Soul docked, Cai Kangnian came over excitedly like a child. He looked left and right at the Silver Soul and did not have any hint of the cunning of a businessman or the arrogance of a boss.
"Have you seen this ship before?" Cai Kangnian asked the engineer-like person next to him.
"Nope. Not only does it look strange, but the materials are also strange. Look, the super gravity berthing system of the dock is a little bent, which means that the weight of this ship is heavier than a large battleship. I'm afraid it's made of super heavy metal." The engineer was probably used to his childish boss and laughed.
"Interesting, truly interesting." Cai Kangnian was talking to himself and did not realize that Xia Fei had already arrived beside him.
Xia Fei turned around and saw that Fuchen, who had already left the hatch, had gone back for some reason. It seemed like he was not going to show his face here.
"Young man, young man, is this ship yours?" Cai Kangnian asked anxiously when he saw Xia Fei.
Xia Fei nodded. "It's mine. I want to have it with you …"
"Sell it to me. How much is it? Name your price." Cai Kangnian did not even let Xia Fei speak and directly said that he wanted to buy the Silver Soul. His personality was really childish. Who would be so direct? Under normal circumstances, even if an experienced businessman was interested in something, he would first express his disdain and lower the price to a sufficiently low level before making a deal.
This old man in front of him was obviously not a businessman and did not know how to bargain at all.
"Sorry, I only plan to repair this ship, not sell it," Xia Fei said plainly.
Cai Kangnian immediately looked very disappointed. Xia Fei did not plan to let anyone enter the Silver Soul at all. He only needed to borrow some tools, buy some equipment, and repair the warship himself. After all, this ship was related to the secret of blue crystal, so he had to be careful.
If someone boarded the ship and saw the equipment that was far beyond the level of Alpha Universe's technology, there would be a lot of rumors. Just seeing the appearance of the Silver Soul, Cai Kangnian had the idea of buying it. It was obvious that this ship was not suitable for too much exposure.
Cai Kangnian was even more disappointed after hearing Xia Fei's request. Even if he could not buy it, he could still take a look. Who knew that Xia Fei would not give him the chance at all. After being stunned for a while, Boss Cai left in disappointment.
Xia Fei gave the staff a list and wrote down all the tools and parts he needed. The staff immediately went to prepare it. If there were none, they would have to find a way to get it from other places.
After doing all this, Xia Fei returned to the warship and saw Fuchen drinking tea in the dining hall. Fuchen was very picky about his food and drink, even bringing tea leaves with him.
"Do you know this person?" Xia Fei poured himself a cup of tea and asked curiously. Fuchen's behavior today was too strange. He immediately returned when he saw Cai Kangnian as if he was unwilling to meet him. This naturally did not escape Xia Fei's eyes.
Fuchen nodded.
