"Since you know that I'm from Guide City, do you think I wouldn't know that this was originally Zhuangzi Tomb?" Zhou Wen said coldly.
"This is Zhuangzi Tomb. Is there a problem?" Woods asked with a puzzled expression.
"As one of the representatives of Daoism, will such a dimensional zone be as safe as it looks on the surface? I'm just afraid that we won't be able to dig the Primordial Crystal mine and end up dying here. "Zhou Wen didn't say anything because he still wanted to make a deal.
Woods was somewhat nervous when he heard Zhou Wen say that. If Zhou Wen really noticed a problem, it would be impossible for him to change the Heavenly Robe back.
"Mr. Zhou, you are being too subjective. We have already discovered the Primordial Crystal mine here for a long time. Now, as you can see, there's no problem here. If you don't believe me, you can stay for another two days or attempt to mine the Primordial Crystals. Our Cape family will definitely not lie or do anything that violates the contract," Woods said seriously.
"Then we'll do as you say. We'll stay here for a few more days. If there's really no problem, I'll immediately transfer the Heavenly Robe to you," Zhou Wen said indifferently.
Woods cursed inwardly. He had only wanted to dispel Zhou Wen's doubts, but he never expected Zhou Wen to really stay for a few days. If that were the case, something might really happen.
"Of course." Although Woods said that, he was burning with anxiety. He was thinking about how he could get Zhou Wen to hand over the Heavenly Robe as soon as possible.
"Ah Sheng, go make preparations. Find a good place to set up camp and entertain Mr. Woods and company. They are guests from afar, so we can't neglect them," Zhou Wen said to An Sheng.
An Sheng understood and got someone to find a place to set up camp. He even got someone to transport supplies over, as though he was going to stay here for a long time.
Woods was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
"Mr. Zhou, you can stay here for as many days as you want, but we can't keep delaying this deal, right? We know that you aren't the kind of person who doesn't uphold the spirit of a contract, but you have to give us a deadline, right? The family head is still waiting. We have to return and give him an explanation. "Woods patiently probed.
"Let's limit it to five days. As long as nothing happens in the next five days, I'll immediately transfer the Heavenly Robe to you and complete our transaction," Zhou Wen said.
Woods knew that he couldn't wait five days. In another four days, the dimensional zone would undergo an anomaly. When that happened, it would definitely be all for naught.
However, Woods couldn't think of a way to get Zhou Wen to immediately transfer the Heavenly Robe to him.
Just as Woods's scalp was about to explode from his thoughts, an officer suddenly ran over on a Companion Beast. He looked extremely pathetic and had several injuries on his body. It looked like he had just experienced a huge battle.
"Young Master Wen, Adjutant An, bad news. A large number of break-out creatures have appeared in Dragon Gate Grotto. Governor Qin is leading the Sunset Army to resist with all their might. There are heavy casualties. Please return immediately to provide reinforcements." The officer jumped off his Companion Beast and rushed in front of Zhou Wen as he shouted.
"What!?" Zhou Wen and An Sheng were alarmed as they got up to leave.
"Mr. Zhou, you can't leave. According to our agreement, we have already brought you to the Primordial Crystal mine. Before you hand over the Heavenly Robe Companion Beast, you are not to leave this place." Woods and company immediately stopped Zhou Wen.
At that moment, Woods was overjoyed. The heavens are really helping me!
"Young Master Wen, why don't you stay here? I'll bring my brothers back to provide reinforcements," An Sheng said anxiously.
"Adjutant An, that won't do. Governor Qin said that there might be Calamity creatures appearing. Young Master Wen has to return. Otherwise, I'm afraid Luoyang really won't be able to hold on … Young Master Wen, quickly return … It'll be too late if you delay any longer …" The officer was about to cry.
"Young Master Wen!" An Sheng looked at Zhou Wen anxiously.
Zhou Wen was still hesitant. "This is the former Manor Tomb. I have a nagging feeling that this place isn't that simple."
"Sigh, Mr. Zhou, you're really overthinking things. Why don't we do this? Now that Luoyang is in trouble, we'll do our best. There's still some Primordial Crystals left. I'll give them to you. There are still some Companion Eggs here. Take them back as well. Consider it a token of our appreciation. I hope they can help Luoyang survive this crisis. "
Woods pointed at the valley and said, "This place isn't that big. You can see everything at a glance. If there's anything amiss, you should've seen it long ago. Even if you didn't, with so many people walking so many times, something would've happened long ago if there was any danger. It wouldn't have waited until now. If you're still worried, walk a few more rounds. After confirming that there's no problem and completing the transaction, we'll head to Luoyang with you and help you fend off the dimensional creatures that have broken out. We'll also stay in Luoyang for a few days. If there's really a problem, it won't be too late to look for us. "
Now, Woods only wanted to trick Tian Yi as soon as possible. The rest could wait.
"Young Master Wen, the overall situation is important," An Sheng anxiously persuaded Zhou Wen when he saw that he was still hesitating.
"Alright, let's do as Mr. Woods says." Zhou Wen gritted his teeth and walked in front of Woods. He held his hand and said as though he was touched, "I won't say anything else. Thank you for your help, Mr. Woods. You really are a good person."
Without waiting for Woods to say a word, Zhou Wen released his hand and said to An Sheng, "Ah Sheng, quickly move the things back. We'll immediately return to the rescue."
"Mr. Zhou, that Tian Yi …" Woods was a little anxious.
"Get them to move the things. I'll transfer it to you now." As Zhou Wen spoke, he began circulating his Primordial Energy. His face flushed red as though he was using a taboo power.
Seeing that Zhou Wen was about to turn Tian Yi, Woods couldn't stop An Sheng and company from moving the things. All he could do was stand in front of Zhou Wen and wait for him to turn Tian Yi around.
As transferring a Companion Beast required quite a sizable price, Woods felt that it was impossible for Zhou Wen to pay no price even if he had any special abilities. It was normal for Zhou Wen to look like this.
Zhou Wen constantly circulated his Primordial Energy, but he had no intention of taking action. The things were almost done moving. Woods couldn't help but ask when Zhou Wen suddenly extended his hand and pressed it against his chest.
It's coming! Woods immediately swallowed the words he was about to say and waited to receive the Companion Beast.
However, after waiting for a while, he saw Zhou Wen's face turn redder, but Woods didn't sense the Companion Beast turn around at all. As for the things on the other side, An Sheng and company had almost finished moving them.
Woods felt that something was amiss. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Zhou Wen roar, "Go!"
Woods immediately felt a force enter his body as wisps of Companion Beast energy surged into his body. He was immediately overjoyed.
Soon, the Companion Beast was transferred to Woods. Zhou Wen said with a pale face, "Mr. Woods, take a look. Is this the Companion Beast we mentioned previously? Don't make a mistake."
"That's right, that's right. It's a Terror-grade Celestial Companion Beast. Thank you very much, Mr. Zhou. Are you alright?" Woods confirmed a few times that the skill was the same as written in the contract, but he was still worried. He summoned it out and transformed it into the Celestial Robe. Only when he saw that it was identical to what Zhou Wen wore did he feel relieved.
"Since the transaction has been completed, I'll head back to provide support. If there's a chance in the future, let's work together again." Zhou Wen and Woods completed the handover and contract before leaving with An Sheng.
