Lin Xiu brought the two siblings all the way to the City Lord Residence of Canghai City. This time, after he showed his token, they came to the backyard unimpeded.
The City Lord of Canghai City was busy with the trade with the Sea Clan and was not in the residence at the moment. Lin Xiu was minding his own business and began to wander around the residence with the two children.
The two children had never been to such a magnificent place before, so they were filled with curiosity about everything.
However, they were naturally cautious and did not dare to be as casual as Lin Xiu. Their movements were very restrained.
Lin Xiu saw this situation and smiled slightly again. He touched their heads and said gently, "Familiarize yourself with the environment. I'm afraid you two will have to stay here for a long time."
Looking at Lin Xiu's face, the two children seemed to finally have greater confidence. They then kept walking around and even came to a pond and looked at the carps that were constantly swimming in the clear water.
These carps were also extraordinary. They had two long beards that shone like dragon whiskers and their scales were also golden. At first glance, one could tell that they were not ordinary creatures.
A steward who followed them also played the role of explanation at this time.
"Lord, because of Canghai City's geographical location, it has trade with the Sea Clan, so it is also extremely rich. These golden arowanas are what the Sea Clan has given to the City Lord over the years. "
Lin Xiu nodded slightly, then asked the steward to bring some bait for the two children and handed it to them.
"You two stay here and play with these whales for a while, I will leave for a while." After nodding to the siblings, Lin Xiu's figure disappeared in an instant.
Just now, Lin Xiu\'s extremely powerful divine sense had already noticed a shocking change in the location of the trading port.
Countless warriors gathered here and no one knew what they were discussing. The cultivators of Canghai City were clearly separated from the people of the Sea Clan. The atmosphere between the two sides was extremely tense and there was a possibility of drawing their swords at any time.
Although Lin Xiu did not know what exactly happened, he was considered the person with the highest status in Canghai City. Seeing the current situation, the City Lord of Canghai City could no longer control the situation, he could only choose to show up helplessly.
After coming here, Lin Xiu was not in a hurry to reveal his identity, but gradually heard some clues from the people around him.
It turned out that the volume of trade this time was extremely large, but for some reason, Canghai City was short of funds, and the Sea Race wasn't willing to give them more time.
Originally, with the friendship between the two races and the stable trade relationship that had been established for a long time, this wasn't a big deal at all. However, the City Lord of Canghai City actually wanted the Sea Race to reduce the trade volume by another 20%.
The Sea Race had been trading with Canghai City for many years.
It was just to exchange for some resources that were not available at the bottom of the sea to maintain their stable development. Their profits weren't very rich, and if they were to give up another 20% of the profits this time, it would be enough to hurt them.
After Lin Xiu learned the truth of the matter, he also frowned tightly. If things were really as these people said, then Canghai City was indeed a bit too much this time.
However, he couldn't just listen to one side of the story, he had to understand the specific situation well, so he finally chose to step forward, took out the token in his hand, and waved it in front of everyone.
After the City Lord of Canghai City saw the token, he suddenly tensed up, and a lot of sweat seeped out of his forehead, but his reaction was also very fast. He immediately knelt on the ground and bowed to Lin Xiu very respectfully and said, "Subordinate greets Master."
Although the people around didn't know what the token represented, the City Lord of Canghai City was already the person with the highest status in the city. Even he was so respectful to Lin Xiu, of course, everyone knew Lin Xiu's background and it was definitely not a trivial matter.
The cultivators of the Sea Clan, on the other hand, had a drastic change in expression at this moment.
Those who were not of the Sea Clan must have different intentions. They were already carefully figuring out how to negotiate next to protect their own interests.
The exchanges between the Sea Clan and Canghai City were mainly based on trade, so every time the person in charge came to trade, the highest level was only at the Dao Enlightenment Realm.
But such power seemed so insignificant in front of the City Lord of Canghai City and Lin Xiu.
A seemingly old Sea Clan member came in front of Lin Xiu, gently stroked his chest with his right hand, bowed to Lin Xiu, and then said sincerely, "Master, our Sea Clan was a bit rude in this matter. In order to express our apology, we are willing to give up 20% of the profits in this trade."
This old man in charge of the Sea Clan knew how to act appropriately.
He couldn't see through Lin Xiu's strength at all, but he thought that Lin Xiu was extremely strong. People under the eaves had to bow their heads, the Sea Clan still understood the principle.
But what made the people of the Sea Clan a little at a loss was that Lin Xiu didn't rush to answer, but turned his gaze to the people of the Sea Clan.
"What exactly happened? We still need to investigate further. If Canghai City is bullying us, then we will definitely give the Sea Clan an explanation. "
After hearing this, the people of the Sea Clan couldn't help but show a look of surprise on their faces. Their Sea Clan was indeed in the right in this matter.
But the people of Canghai City seemed a little dejected at this moment. Lin Xiu looked at the different expressions of the two groups of people and roughly understood the matter in his heart.
"Elder, since Canghai City has been trading with the Sea Clan for so long, both sides must have established a certain foundation of trust. This time, Canghai City might really have something that's hard to say. You can stay in Canghai City with the people of the Sea Clan for the time being. When the matter is clarified, I will definitely make you satisfied." Lin Xiu said to the old man of the Sea Clan personally. The other party also nodded and expressed his agreement.
Next, Lin Xiu walked in front, feeling a little angry in his heart. Originally, he came to Canghai City and didn't want to alarm anyone, but he didn't expect that the City Lord of Canghai City would actually cause trouble again.
Originally, Lin Xiu was a person who didn't like to meddle in other people's business and usually just cultivated quietly. He didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing as soon as he came to Canghai City, which really made him a little unhappy.
No matter what, Canghai City was also the territory of his sworn brother, Liu Cheng, and Lin Xiu also had the title of Deputy Alliance Master at this moment, so he had to take care of this matter.
The trade between the Sea Clan and Canghai City could greatly promote the development of the city, and there were indeed some resources at the bottom of the sea that couldn't be obtained on land.
Over the years, Canghai City's tax revenue was also ranked in the forefront. Logically speaking, with Canghai City's strength, they wouldn't want to covet 20% of the other party's profits. In this case, there must be something fishy about it.
The City Lord of Canghai City followed behind Lin Xiu dejectedly, and his heart was also conflicted. This time, he did have his own difficulties that were hard to say, and he didn't want to covet the profits of the Sea Clan.
