"Hehe, those are ownerless items to begin with. There's no need to thank me …" Jiang Fei laughed.
"Senior, you must be joking. In the Five Worlds, the law of the jungle has always been the law of the jungle. Those with bigger fists rule. If you didn't want me to take those two stones away, I'm afraid I would have to stay there myself. So, no matter what, I have to thank you for helping me," Hong Yun said.
"Alright, let's not talk about these small things anymore." Jiang Fei waved his hand.
"Senior, in order to express my gratitude, I know that you are looking for Fantasy Stones. Coincidentally, I found one two days ago, so I specially brought it to you," Hong Yun said as she took out a Fantasy Stone.
"Hmm?!" Jiang Fei raised his eyebrows. If it was anything else, he would not want it. In his opinion, he really did not help Hong Yun much. As the saying went, one should not accept a reward without doing anything. He did not help Hong Yun, so naturally, it was not appropriate for him to take something from her.
However, this Fantasy Stone was something that Jiang Fei could not refuse no matter what.
"Senior, please accept it!" Hong Yun held the Fantasy Stone with both hands and handed it to Jiang Fei.
"Alright, I do need the Fantasy Stone. However, I won't take it from you for free. Here are two healing pills. Consider it my compensation." Jiang Fei took the Fantasy Stone and handed the two pills to Hong Yun. He did not want to owe Hong Yun a favor.
In fact, Jiang Fei's personality was very similar to the Naga in some aspects. They did not like to owe favors to others. When the Naga wanted something, they would either rob it or steal it. It did not matter to them. However, if it was given to them by others, they would give more valuable treasures as compensation.
Jiang Fei was the same. Although when he traded with the old shopkeeper, he only exchanged three Fantasy Stones for one pill. That was a fair trade. Now that Hong Yun had taken the initiative to give him the Fantasy Stone, he naturally had to pay a higher price.
"Thank you, senior!" Hong Yun did not hesitate and immediately took the pills from Jiang Fei. Now, everyone in the Wanshou Gathering knew about the miraculous effects of this pill. Not to mention Hong Yun, she had been saved by this pill in the past.
"Oh, right, I have something that I need your help with!" Jiang Fei suddenly said.
"Senior, please let me know if you have any orders!" Hong Yun said immediately.
"Lil Nine is now in a deep sleep. I have something to attend to. Can you help me take care of him for a few days?" Jiang Fei said. Based on his understanding of Hong Yun, she was a trustworthy person.
"Alright!" Hong Yun immediately nodded. Jiang Fei's requirements were not high. Little Nine was in a deep sleep and was very obedient. Moreover, this was the Thousand Beasts Gathering, so it was very safe. Therefore, she only needed to stay in this small courtyard for a few days to complete Jiang Fei's request.
"Thank you very much. When I return, I will reward you handsomely!" Jiang Fei said.
"Senior, you're too polite," Hong Yun said.
After giving Hong Yun a few more instructions, Jiang Fei left the courtyard to look for Qi Meng.
"Sir, you're here!" Qi Meng did not expect Jiang Fei to arrive so quickly.
"I'm free now. Are you ready?" Jiang Fei asked.
"Yes! I'm ready, "Qi Meng said.
"Then, let's go!" Jiang Fei laughed.
"Thank you for making this trip for me, sir!" Qi Meng said respectfully.
"Don't be so polite. Let's go," Jiang Fei said as he jumped up. Qi Meng followed closely behind. The two of them went straight to the Ninth Elder's cave.
After flying for about a day, Jiang Fei and Qi Meng finally arrived at the Ninth Elder's cave.
As soon as Jiang Fei and Qi Meng landed, a maid came out to greet them. "Two esteemed guests, my master would like to see you!"
"Alright!" Jiang Fei nodded, then followed the maid into the cave. He had been here once before and had seen this maid.
"It seems that the Ninth Elder is very familiar with this master …" Qi Meng thought to himself. He could tell a lot from the way the maid addressed them and the way she treated them. After all, he had been in the Thousand Beasts Gathering for so many years. What kind of people had he not met?
Soon, Jiang Fei and Qi Meng arrived at the Ninth Elder's study under the maid's guidance.
"As expected!" Qi Meng nodded to himself. The guests that the master received in the study were all very close friends. Those who were not close would definitely be served tea in the living room.
In less than half an hour, the Ninth Elder arrived. He had been delayed for so long because he needed to take a bath and change his clothes. He did not dare to be negligent in welcoming the Upper Dragon Royalty.
"Welcome, sir! I apologize for not going out to greet you!" The Ninth Elder smiled.
"Please forgive me for disturbing you, Ninth Elder," Jiang Fei said courteously.
"Greetings, Ninth Elder." Qi Meng bowed.
"Sir, who is this?" The Ninth Elder might have seen Qi Meng before, but he would definitely not remember such a small character.
"His name is Qi Meng. He is the warden of the Thousand Beasts Gathering." Jiang Fei smiled.
"Oh! Oh! Oh! " The Ninth Elder nodded, but he did not actually remember who Qi Meng was. He only did so to show respect to Jiang Fei.
"By the way, how's the marriage between Ao Guang and You Rong?" Jiang Fei asked.
"Sigh! It's not easy for Ao Guang. He lost his parents when he was young, and he's all alone … "The Ninth Elder sighed. He was actually a little regretful. After all, who would want to marry their daughter to a pauper?
However, the Ninth Elder still had one thing on his mind. That was, if Ao Guang managed to get close to Jiang Fei, the Upper Dragon Royalty, he might not have much now, but he would one day soar to the top.
"Yes." Jiang Fei nodded, then turned to Qi Meng and said, "Kid, didn't you say that you admire the Ninth Elder? Why are you speechless now that you've met him? "
"Yes! Yes! Yes! " Qi Meng was a smart person. He understood Jiang Fei's hint and walked to the front of the Ninth Elder in a few steps.
"Ninth Elder, I've admired you for a long time. Here's a small gift to show my respect!" Qi Meng said as he handed over a card.
In order to get himself a good job, Qi Meng had put in a lot of money. He had a lot of gifts, and it was not convenient to present them one by one. So, he just made a gift list.
"Oh?" The Ninth Elder casually flipped through the gift list, but the more he looked, the more his jaw dropped. This Qi Meng and Ao Guang weren't on the same level. This kid was so fat that he was overflowing with oil. Everything he took out was good stuff!
"Okay!" After looking through the gift list, the Ninth Elder put the gift list on the coffee table and pressed it down with a teacup.
"Thank you, Ninth Elder!" Qi Meng stepped forward and bowed. Obviously, the Ninth Elder had accepted the gift.
"Ninth Elder, this kid has been guarding the Thousand Beasts Gathering for hundreds of years. It's not good for a young man like him to stay in one place. He has to go out and see the world …" Jiang Fei said on behalf of Qi Meng. He had just given the gift, so it was not appropriate for him to speak directly. So, Jiang Fei said on behalf of Qi Meng.
"Yes! That's true! "The Ninth Elder nodded. He had received the gift, so naturally, he had to do something.
"Also, if this kid vacates Zhenxing's position, it's not a bad choice to let Ao Guang go." Jiang Fei's words completely moved the Ninth Elder. As the saying goes, one should not let one's own goodies flow into one's own field. If such a lucrative job was given to his son-in-law, although Ao Guang's status would not increase, at least he would be able to save up the betrothal gifts in a relatively short time!
