"I met an acquaintance just now. I wanted to avoid him but he noticed me and rushed over. After confirming that it was me, he turned around and flew away without saying a word."
Gummoke's voice trembled. "My cultivation is lower than his. I can't catch up with him. If he leaves, he will most likely expose our whereabouts. Please believe me, Childe Chen. I didn't do it on purpose. I didn't do it on purpose."
Obviously, the reason why Gummoke felt guilty was not because he had done something bad, but because he had exposed his whereabouts. He was afraid that Chen would punish him. Chen might even kill him.
"Alright. You don't have to be so nervous! I miscalculated this time. "
Chen Xiaobei frowned. "I thought that this place is trillions of miles away from Ning Family Holy City. That's why I didn't ask you to wear a human skin mask! I can only say that I'm just unlucky to meet an acquaintance out of the blue. "
Gummoke felt as if he had been pardoned.
Fortunately, Chen Xiaobei was a reasonable master. His life was saved.
"How long has that person been gone?" Chen Xiaobei asked.
"He's been gone for about an hour …" Gummoke said awkwardly, "It's definitely too late to go after him now because I don't know where he went …"
"Who said I'm going to chase after him? I just want to know if Ning Tiancheng will be there in person!" Chen Xiaobei said.
"How … How can you be sure?" Gummoke was confused.
"A Holy King has the ability to travel through space. If your friend had exposed your whereabouts, Ning Tiancheng would be able to get here in no time. Why would he wait for you for an hour?" Chen Xiaobei said calmly.
"That's right! Childe Chen is right! " Gummoke's face was full of amazement, and then he wondered, "But why didn't he tell Ning Tiancheng about my whereabouts?"
"Who is this acquaintance of yours?" Chen Xiaobei asked.
"His name is Fan He. He's a Nine-star True Divine. He used to run a business in Ning Family Holy City. He's my drinking buddy!"
"I understand now!"
Chen Xiaobei said. "First of all, this person is not a member of the Ning Family! So, he will not be loyal to Ning Tiancheng! Secondly, this person is a businessman. He might be weighing who to sell the information to in order to get the most benefits! "
"Right, right, right! Childe Chen is right! "
Gummoke nodded repeatedly and said, "Fan He is indeed a ruthless person who disrespects the Ning family. Every time he drinks too much, he will curse the darkness and corruption of the Ning family's top management! Moreover, this fellow is calculative and never does business that loses money! "
"Hmm, if that's the case, it makes sense!"
Fan He must know that you are related to me. That's why he did not dare to attack you even though his cultivation is higher than yours. That's why he ran away! Since he didn't sell you out immediately, it means that he is waiting for a better buyer than Ning Tiancheng! "
"Yes, yes, yes, Childe Chen is so smart!" Gummoke kept nodding, his eyes full of admiration.
"Contact him now! Just tell him that I have something to discuss with him! "Chen said.
"Understood!"
Gummoke really admired Chen. Without saying a word, he did as he was told.
Using the message rune, Gummoke quickly contacted Fan He.
Just as Chen expected, Fan He agreed to negotiate with Chen.
After that, Chen established a connection with Fan He using the message rune. Then, they could contact each other directly.
Fan He: I'm curious. Why do you want to negotiate with me? Do you know that I will sell you out anytime?
Chen: Gummoke said that you are a calculative businessman. You will get the most out of selling information if you sell it to me!
Fan He: What? How dare Big Head Gu say that I'm calculative? I should have punched him before I left!
Chen: Heh, you really don't want to suffer any losses! Every time Gummoke said something about you, you have to punch him!
Fan He: I, Fan He, do everything in the world except for business that loses money!
Chen: Heh, I like people like you! Straightforward and straightforward, the inside and the outside were the same! Don't worry, you will not lose money doing business with me!
Fan He: You are really confident! Tell me, what price do you want to pay me to keep my mouth shut?
Chen: First, you have to tell me, who wants to know my whereabouts? What's the price they are offering?
Fan He: Ning Tiancheng is the first. He promised that if anyone can help him find the person who destroyed the Ning Family's holy city, he is willing to give 300 million Saint Spiritual Crystals as a reward!
Chen: But you didn't choose to work with Ning Tiancheng!
Fan He: Mm, I don't like the Ning Family's higher-ups. Also, 300 million Saint Spiritual Crystals is really not enough!
Chen: I don't think it's that simple! I know Ning Tiancheng's personality very well! If you provide him with information, he will probably kill you. That way, you can save the 300 million Saint Spiritual Crystals!
Fan He: It seems like you are quite smart!
Chen Xiaobei: You are a greedy businessman. You don't want to earn money because you are afraid that you won't be able to spend it! It's not that hard to guess!
Fan He: Then, I will not beat around the bush with you. There is another force that is interested in your whereabouts! They are the Ning Family's mortal enemy, the Lone Yin Family of Tianshan!
Chen Xiaobei: Ning Family's enemy? Why would they be interested in me? They want to use me to deal with Ning Tiancheng?
Fan He: The enemy of my enemy is my friend. The Lone Yin Family's overall strength is weaker than the Ning Family. Naturally, they need allies to fight against the Ning Family!
Chen Xiaobei: So, how much is the Lone Yin Family's offer?
Fan He: The Lone Yin Family's offer is also 300 million!
Chen Xiaobei: Heh, the Lone Yin Family doesn't look like they are that rich! How can they be so calculative at a time like this?
Fan He: The Lone Yin Family has been suppressed by the Ning Family for a long time. They are struggling to survive. It's already good enough that they can come up with 300 million!
Fan He: The reason why I didn't agree to the Lone Yin Family's offer was because I was worried that they might not even be able to come up with 300 million!
Chen Xiaobei: So, you have been swaying between Ning Tiancheng and the Lone Yin Family. No matter which side you choose, you will have to bear a certain amount of risk!
Fan He: Yes! That's why I haven't decided yet! So, I will not bargain with you anymore. As long as you can come up with 300 million! I promise to keep my mouth shut! I will not reveal your whereabouts!
Chen Xiaobei: What if I don't agree?
Fan He: You don't agree? I will send your message to Ning Tiancheng within ten seconds. The Sage King will be able to reach you in an instant by stepping on the void! The power of the Holy King can destroy an entire state with a flick of his finger! You will definitely die!
Chen Xiaobei: Heh, you can try!
Fan He: You … Aren't you afraid of death?
Chen Xiaobei: Of course, I'm afraid of death. But, I will not die! Last time, when I drained the Ning Family's Holy Veins, Ning Tiancheng came to me by stepping on the void. Didn't I escape unscathed?
Fan He: That was the last time! I'm afraid you won't be so lucky this time!
Chen Xiaobei: You … What do you mean?! (Shocked emoji)
