"Puff..." Yan Duo spurted out a mouthful of wine, which splashed all over himself. He turned around in shock and stared at Xia Pingan with an expression that said, "Are you f * cking kidding me?"
Xia Pingan shrugged his shoulders as he leisurely sipped the wine in his hand and smiled. "This Dew Congealing Wine is pretty good. I just sold a batch of it from the warehouse that I seized a few days ago. It's not worth much, only a few hundred thousand gold coins. Perhaps your wine is really the batch that I seized and sold."
"You, seized..." Yan Duo stammered.
"I haven't told you that I have indeed joined the Great Shang Nation's state apparatus. However, the state apparatus I have joined is not ordinary. It is the Great Shang Nation's Judgement Army. That's right, I am now the inspector of the East Port Supervision Bureau of the Judgement Army. I only have a few dozen One-Sun Stage and Two-Sun Stage summoners under me.
Yan Duo, please take care of me! "The speech that he had prepared was stuck in his throat. He originally wanted to show off and feel elated. However, he realized that the gap between him and Xia Pingan had not narrowed, nor was he in the lead. Instead, it had widened.
Yan Duo wanted to die.
Yan Duo's expression changed from green to red and white as if he had just opened a dye shop. Finally, Yan Duo forced a bitter smile as his shoulders slumped and he slumped onto the sofa-like seat in the carriage. Picking up the bottle, he gulped down a few mouthfuls of wine before panting heavily and scolding himself fiercely, "If I were to compare myself with you in the future, I would be the biggest idiot in the world. You're simply a monster. Why do I feel that the plan to patch the heavens was prepared for you …"
"Don't give up on yourself. Your brain is very useful!" Xia Pingan smiled.
"F * ck, sometimes I really want to cut open your head to see what's inside and if it's different from ours!" Yan Duo smiled bitterly.
"Hehe, I'm afraid you won't have such a chance!"
"No!" After drinking two mouthfuls of wine, Yan Duo suddenly thought of something as he abruptly sat up and stared at Xia Pingan with gleaming eyes. At the same time, he put his two paws on Xia Pingan's shoulders and asked, "Tell me the truth, who's that girl standing on the peach blossom bridge with you today? Given her look and temperament, she's definitely not an average person …"
"She's called Caocao, her real name is Beitang Wangyou. She's the princess of the Great Shang Nation!" Since Yan Duo wanted to know the truth, Xia Pingan didn't hide Caocao's identity.
Yan Duo's expression froze once again. In other words, he suffered another heavy setback. He stared at Xia Pingan blankly, "Princess, it's really a princess. It turns out that you're also..."
Yan Duo had already accepted that he was surpassed by Xia Pingan in cultivation base. However, he had not imagined that he was also surpassed by Xia Pingan in this aspect. Yan Duo felt that his secret mandala was about to collapse. A golden immortal appeared in his secret mandala. That immortal was Xia Pingan. Without thinking too much, he just needed to worship him from now on.
At the sight of Yan Duo's expression, Xia Pingan knew what this guy was thinking about, "It's not what you think!"
"I know, I know!" Yan Duo nodded. From today onwards, you are my big brother, my blood big brother. I concede defeat and prostrate myself before you. Don't worry, I will keep this a secret for you. Other than me, I will not tell anyone else. If anyone dares to say anything, I will silence them! "Yan Duo nodded his head and revealed a sly smile. He clasped his hands together and raised them above his head as he sighed," Originally, I thought that I was the only one who would walk this path. I didn't expect that you would also … Admirable, admirable.
'Forget it, if I tell this guy, it will only make things worse. '
Xia Pingan was too lazy to explain anything and directly interrupted the topic, "What are your plans for coming to Shang Jing City this time?" "Plans?
Actually, I don't have any long-term plans. I'm just a One-Sun Realm summoner, and I can't do anything now. Originally, I just wanted to participate in the dragon boat race with Qing'er. I heard that there are many Realm Pearls in Shang Jing City, so I want to buy some Realm Pearls back. When I'm stronger, I'm going to go to the Wood Flood Dragon Continent to see if I can get in touch with others... "Yan Duo said with waning interest.
"Some of the people who participated in the 'Heaven Mending Plan' might have gone to the Wood Flood Dragon Continent's Diting Kingdom and are helping them manufacture firearms, cannons, and high-energy explosives..."
"There are such people? They did what I wanted to do. How do you know that there are such people in the Diting Kingdom?"
"The Shang Kingdom has already obtained part of the cannons and explosives technology from the Diting Kingdom!"
"You even know about this? Did that princess tell you?" Yan Duo's gaze towards Xia Pingan became strange again. He chuckled, "You're doing well now. Do you have any benefits that you can take care of? I'm not greedy. Just find me seventy to eighty Realm Pearls with Spiritual Sense Crystals. This shouldn't be difficult for you. You're the future son-in-law of the Shang Kingdom!"
"You better not let others know about our relationship, or you might die!" Xia Pingan's expression was extremely serious.
"Damn, you're not trying to scare me, are you?" Yan Duo's expression changed immediately.
"It's actually very risky for you to come and find me now. Other than the Blood Demon Church chasing after me, the Crown Prince of the Shang Kingdom, Beitang Wangchuan, and the higher-ups of the Judgement Army already know about my identity as a Spacewalker. There are two important reasons why I was promoted to the East Port Inspector. First, Beitang Wangchuan and the higher-ups of the Judgement Army want to use me to lure the Blood Demon Church out, and I'm the bait. Second, they want me to seal you out. The people of the Shang Kingdom know where our advantage lies, and they want to use us to help them grow stronger. Therefore, you need to be clear-headed. If the Blood Demon Church knows about your identity, you won't be able to live in peace. The Shang Kingdom will also keep an eye on you. Do you still want my Realm Pearl?"
"Then aren't you in great danger now?"
"Do you really think there's a price to pay in this world?"
"Does that princess know about your situation? Can she tolerate it?"
"She still doesn't know about my identity as a Spacewalker. Moreover, let me tell you, my relationship with her is not like what you think! To a certain extent, I'm walking on a tightrope in this position! "
Yan Duo sat up straight again, and the expression on his face began to become serious. "Then what are your plans?"
Xia Pingan narrowed his eyes slightly. "What you said just now is very true. In this world, strength is everything. The reason I'm in Shang Jing City is because the cultivation resources here are more abundant. My current goal is to become stronger as soon as possible. The environment here is the best training for me. I'm not afraid of being used by the Shang Kingdom, as long as they can pay the corresponding price. The more my identity is exposed, the more I can attract the attention of the Blood Demon Church, and reduce the pressure on others.
Because of the space transmission accident, now that everyone is separated and has no contact with each other at all, it's very difficult to ask for help from others. This is actually very disadvantageous to the completion of the Heaven Patching Plan. If I can gather all the separated people and reestablish communication channels, the chances of completing the Heaven Patching Plan will be greater, and it will be of greater help to Earth. However, it's inconvenient for me to contact others because I've already been exposed. Do you understand what I mean? "
"Tell me, and I'll do it!"
"You are the most suitable candidate. If I make a name for myself in the Shang Dynasty, Wu Zhan Feng and the other people who were separated from me might know that I am in Shang Jing City. They should think of a way to contact me. At that time, you can slowly regroup all of us. At least, we can let everyone exchange information. We won't have to fight alone like scattered sand."
"You mean to form a secret organization?"
"There can be many forms. We came to this world for the same goal, and everyone's strength is too weak to fight alone. A certain degree of unity is necessary. For example, right now, it's not difficult for you and me to take out ten thousand gold coins, and the use of ten thousand gold coins is limited to us. However, if the others don't have the ability and luck like you and me, they may still be fighting for a few gold coins, looking for various opportunities! As for those who participated in Project Mend the Heavens, those who already have achievements and resources, may also be thinking about how to use the resources in their hands more efficiently and how to complete the project better, so that more people like us who came to this world can quickly grow stronger … "
Yan Duo was suddenly energized. "I understand. In fact, I've had an idea recently. I want to form an organization in the world of Yuanqiu with the members of Project Mend the Heavens as the core. This organization can make money, collect information, and contact others. It can link everyone's strength and protect everyone, but it can also avoid restricting each other. It can even stab the Blood Demon Church a few times at a critical moment. I'm still thinking about how to do it …"
"That's a good idea. If there really is such an organization, it will be helpful to everyone in Project Mend the Heavens. Here are two hundred thousand gold coins!" Xia Pingan heard Yan Duo's words, and directly took out a few gold notes and handed them to Yan Duo. "Take it as the initial funds I'm giving you. You have your own money, so it'll be more convenient for you to do things …"
"You're really a rich man, so generous!" Yan Duo exclaimed. He took the gold notes from Xia Pingan and asked, "This is not a small amount. Aren't you afraid that I'll embezzle it?"
"You risked your life to come to this world just to embezzle some gold coins?" Xia Pingan laughed.
Yan Duo did not say anything else, and directly put the gold coins away. "How do we contact each other in the future?"
"Do you still remember the set of media code words used by the Committee of Order in emergency situations?"
The two of them discussed how to contact each other, and the carriage they were in was blocked by the police in front of them …
The police in Shangjing were checking the carriage at the checkpoint.
The incident at Peach Blossom Bridge had made the whole of Shangjing nervous, and the number of police on the streets suddenly increased.
"Knock, knock, knock …" The police outside knocked on the window of the carriage with their batons. "Please open the door and get out for inspection!"
Yan Duo opened the door and got out of the carriage.
"Are you alone?" The police at the checkpoint scanned the carriage and asked.
Alone?
Yan Duo was stunned, and when he turned around, the carriage was empty. Xia Pingan was nowhere to be seen. Yan Duo had no idea how Xia Pingan disappeared.
Damn it, is the gap between us that big? Yan Duo smiled bitterly in his heart. Facing the police who were scrutinizing him, he could only answer, "Uh, it's just me …"
"What's your name?"
"Yan Xiaoqi!"
"Where's your identification?"
