Chu Xing looked at the lady in the room, and the lady also looked at Chu Xing. Chu Xing's footsteps paused slightly, but he didn't stop for long. He closed the door and walked straight into the room.
"Mister, please sit." The lady stood up to welcome him and sat down with Chu Xing.
After the two sat down, the lady poured tea for Chu Xing and asked with a smile, "How are your injuries? I've been worried for the past two days. "
"I've already recovered." Chu Xing looked at the blood wine in front of him. The concentration of blood wine was different. The low concentration blood wine spirit race drank it like tea. However, Chu Xing didn't reach out to take it. He just looked at the lady.
The lady didn't urge him to drink. Instead, she smiled and said, "Oh right, I haven't told you my name. I'm Jiang Zhen."
Chu Xing nodded slightly and said, "Lady Jiang, I'm here to get my reward."
"I've already prepared the reward for you." The lady stood up and took out a spatial ring from the drawer. She sat back down and handed it to Chu Xing. "The things are inside."
Chu Xing took the spatial ring and opened it to check the items inside. What shocked Chu Xing was that the materials inside were indeed very precious and expensive. It greatly exceeded the rewards of this mission. The Jiang clan was indeed very sincere.
Although the items were expensive, Chu Xing didn't reject it. He kept it and said, "Thank you, Lady. I'll take my leave."
As he spoke, Chu Xing was about to stand up and leave. However, the lady suddenly pressed down on his arm, preventing him from standing up.
In spirit race civilization, physical contact wasn't out of bounds. Therefore, Chu Xing didn't immediately pull his arm away. He just looked at Jiang Zhen and asked, "Lady Jiang, is there anything else?"
"There is something." Jiang Zhen retracted her hand and smiled at Chu Xing. "Mister's performance in the mission two days ago was very good. It also allowed us to recognize mister's talent and trustworthiness. Because of this, we have some missions for mister to do."
Seeing Jiang Zhen's smile, Chu Xing frowned. He clearly felt that something was wrong. He wasn't excited. Instead, he asked cautiously and coldly, "What mission?"
"An even more confidential mission." Jiang Zhen smiled and said, "Of course, the reward is even more generous. It's not even comparable to the reward of this mission."
Hearing the lady's words, Chu Xing didn't feel happy. Instead, he frowned and said, "Very dangerous?"
"It's both dangerous and safe. Overall, it's relatively safe. In fact, it's even safer than the last mission," Jiang Zhen said softly.
Chu Xing's brows furrowed even tighter. Other than the cold expression on his face, there was clearly some impatience. He didn't want to listen to riddles, so he directly said, "Miss, just say what you want to say. I don't want to listen to meaningless words. Moreover, before I worked with the Jiangs, I said that I have the right to not accept the mission. So, I have to listen to the mission's content before I decide whether to accept it or not. If I have to accept this mission before I can listen to it, then I definitely won't do it. "
Hearing Chu Xing's words, Jiang Zhen was clearly startled, but he wasn't too surprised. Jiang Zhen smiled and said, "This mission is indeed extremely confidential. I can only reveal a portion of the contents. Sir, you can decide for yourself."
Chu Xing did not force the matter and said, "Please go ahead."
"This mission is to head to … the Heavenly Star River to find something." Jiang Zhen's smile vanished completely as he spoke seriously.
Heavenly Star River?
Chu Xing's expression was obviously stunned, followed by shock. His brows furrowed as he asked, "What are you looking for in the Heavenly Star River?"
"This is a secret." Jiang Zhen said, "The danger of this mission lies in the enemies of the Heavenly Star River. However, the place that we want Sir to go to is not where the Hachiko clan or any other races are stationed. It is even very far away. The chances of Sir meeting the enemy is infinitely close to zero. As long as you don't meet the enemy, Sir will not be in danger. "
"…"
Chu Xing's brows furrowed even more as he said, "Since there is no danger, why do you want me to do it? This mission is so confidential, and there are so many people in the Jiangs. Can't you all do it yourselves? "
Hearing Chu Xing's words, Jiang Zhen shook his head lightly and said, "We are now in a time of war. Most of the people in the Jiangs are involved in the war and are unable to leave to carry out missions. It is because of this that the Jiangs are recruiting talents from the outside world. Sir is very clear about this. Furthermore … "
Jiang Zhen paused for a moment before continuing, "There are some things that we can't do personally, so we can only find outsiders to do it."
Chu Xing's expression turned serious as he sharply caught the crux of the problem. He said in a low voice, "Why? This matter cannot be known by the Spirit Race? "
"Smart." Jiang Zhen praised. She believed that Chu Xing was a smart person. This kind of thing could not be hidden, so it was better to say it from the start. Furthermore, she had more confidence in Lu An. There would be many chances for them to work together in the future. There was no need to destroy the trust between them because of this kind of concealment.
Chu Xing took a deep breath and said solemnly, "In other words, not only do we have to be wary of the enemies of the Heavenly Star River, even the Spirit Race has become our enemy. I really want to know what kind of matter would offend two galaxies at the same time?"
"If Sir wants to know, you can accept the mission." Jiang Zhen recovered his smile and said, "As long as Sir accepts the mission, from now on, Sir will be on the same boat as the Jiangs. Sir's matter is our matter. Even if the mission is not completed, Sir can ask for anything you want. The Jiangs will try our best to satisfy it. Whether it is materials, power or women, we can satisfy Sir. "
Chu Xing was obviously hesitant after hearing this. He did not immediately agree, but did not immediately reject. Jiang Zhen, on the other hand, kept looking at Chu Xing without saying anything. If Chu Xing had any questions, it would not be too late for her to answer them.
After a while, Chu Xing opened his mouth again. However, he did not answer whether or not he would accept the mission. Instead, he asked, "Will this mission be done by me alone or with others?"
"The first few missions will be done by many people together." When Jiang Zhen heard this, he replied, "As our trust in Young Master increases, the more confidential missions will be left to Young Master alone."
Many people?
When Chu Xing heard this, his brows furrowed. After seeing Chu Xing's reaction, Jiang Zhen continued, "The earlier missions will be more dangerous. The more people there are, the better. It will be able to ensure everyone's safety. This is also for Sir's safety."
Chu Xing hesitated once again. Finally, after a long while, he lifted his head and looked at Jiang Zhen. "From Miss's words, this matter will require a long time to complete. It isn't something that can be completed in one go. If you can promise me that I will still have the right to choose the mission, even if I do the earlier missions, I can choose not to do the later ones. I am willing to give it a try. "
"If I do the earlier missions, I will have to do the later ones. If I don't do them, I will be hunted down by all of you. Then I will not do them."
Chu Xing's words were very direct, causing Jiang Zhen to be slightly startled. Indeed, Chu Xing's worries were not without reason. Once the person who held the secret was out of control, many powers would choose to silence them. Thus, Chu Xing's worries were very normal.
Jiang Zhen smiled calmly and said, "Sir can rest assured about this. As long as Sir does not speak of it, we will definitely not pursue Sir's actions. As long as you complete the missions, Sir can terminate them at any time. The Jiang Clan will definitely not interfere and will definitely not harm Sir. "
Hearing Jiang Zhen's promise, Chu Xing took a deep breath. Actually, this kind of promise did not have much meaning. If the other party wanted to go back on it, they could do so. Not to mention verbal promises, even if it was written on paper, it could easily become waste paper. But speaking was better than not speaking. At least Jiang Zhen could express her attitude. Thus, after hesitating for a moment, Chu Xing finally said, "Alright, then I will try accepting a mission."
"Good." Jiang Zhen smiled and said, "Can Sir start the mission now?"
"Not today. This matter is too sudden. I do not like to do things without a plan. I am not prepared yet." Chu Xing said, "Three days later, I can start the mission."
"Then I can only tell Sir the details of the mission three days later." Jiang Zhen said softly.
Chu Xing nodded. He did not care whether it was today or three days later. He took a deep breath and was about to stand up and leave. At the same time, he said, "Since that is the case, I will take my leave first …"
Bang!
Suddenly, a loud sound rang out, causing Lu An and Jiang Zhen who were in the room to jump in fright. They immediately looked towards the door!
The loud sound was the sound of the door being kicked open!
And the person who kicked the door was none other than Jiang Ping's daughter, Jiang Xin!
