"They're here!"
Xiao Chen didn't have to wait too long. Old Man Yun Ying and the Liang Family Elder shouted at the same time. However, what puzzled Xiao Chen was that he didn't see anyone come in.
However, based on the expressions of these two old men, Xiao Chen immediately understood that these people who could really make decisions were definitely very high up and wouldn't appear to make direct contact with him.
Firstly, the difference in their statuses was too great, so it wouldn't be appropriate to make a deal with them directly. Secondly, if the person in charge came out and the deal fell through, there would be no way to salvage the situation.
Now, these people who could make decisions were behind the scenes. Even if the deal was a little stiff or something unexpected happened, they could personally come out and salvage the situation.
Xiao Chen had experienced this many times when he had been in the lower realm. Therefore, he didn't think too much about it after he figured it out.
Although he didn't have to face these terrifying existences directly, which greatly reduced the pressure, Xiao Chen knew very well that these terrifying existences were definitely paying close attention to the situation here. Therefore, he didn't appear too relaxed. Instead, he made himself appear more reliable so that no one would notice anything amiss.
"Little brother, you can state your conditions now." This was still the Celestial Treasure Pavilion's territory, so Old Man Yun Ying was the first to speak with a smile.
Xiao Chen rolled his eyes. He had originally thought that after the person in charge had come, the pressure on him would lessen a little. He hadn't expected that there would still be no change. How could he make a request?
Just as Xiao Chen was about to speak, his expression changed again and a jade slip appeared in his hand.
"Apologies, Senior, I have a very important message that I need to reply to!" Xiao Chen probed the jade slip with his Spiritual Force. After glancing at it, he cupped his fists and apologized to Yun Ying and the others.
At this point, he would naturally delay as long as he could. Furthermore, the person who had sent him the message was none other than Chen Hao from the Prophecy Pavilion.
"There's no hurry, Little Brother. Let's get down to business first!" Yun Ying said with a smile.
The Liang Clan's elders didn't rush him either. Obviously, they all thought that a senior of the clan was behind Xiao Chen. Perhaps they were instructing Xiao Chen about something.
The transaction of the Holy Immortal Fruit was naturally not something that could be settled in just a few words, so it was worth it to wait for a while. Even the terrifying beings behind them did not rush them, so the two of them naturally would not rush them either.
"Brother Xiao Chen, congratulations on successfully entering the Heaven Celestial Stage!" Chen Hao spoke with a smile after Xiao Chen answered the message.
"Do you know that I've already stepped into the Heavenly Immortal Stage?" Xiao Chen communicated with Chen Hao through the use of a jade slip.
"Hehe, no matter what, I'm still a member of the Secret Pavilion!" Chen Hao chuckled.
"Even if they're from the Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries, there's no way they would pay attention to the cultivation of a weak immortal like me, right? Don't tell me the Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries has nothing else to do? "Xiao Chen rolled his eyes.
"Heh, heh, as expected, I can't hide it from Brother Xiao Chen. However, when Brother Xiao Chen was in the Cloud Mystery Land, you were about to make a breakthrough. Now that you've come out of the Cloud Mystery Land, and after so many days, I'm sure you've made a breakthrough!" Chen Hao smiled again and told the truth.
"I knew you were just guessing!" Xiao Chen curled his lips.
"How about it? Then my guess is quite accurate, right? "Chen Hao was a bit proud.
"Yes, are you here to ask me for information? But I don't have time to talk to you right now, I'm busy with something important! "Xiao Chen replied casually, and then said with a headache.
"Something important? What important thing? " Chen Hao didn't politely hang up the message and say that he didn't want to disturb Xiao Chen for the time being. Instead, he wore a look of curiosity.
"… Are the people of the Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries all so curious?" Xiao Chen couldn't help but mutter to himself when he saw the gossipy look on Chen Hao's face after hearing that he was busy with something important.
"Nonsense, we are people of the Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries. The Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries mainly collects information. If we don't even pay attention to information that is highly likely to become information, how can we make a living?" Chen Hao said with a matter-of-fact expression.
"Fine, fine, I admit defeat!" Xiao Chen rubbed his forehead, feeling that he had made a rudimentary mistake.
For these people of the Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries, gossip was their duty.
"Tell me, what important thing is it? Is there a chance that it will become important information? "Chen Hao's gossipy fire was already burning brightly.
"This …" Xiao Chen was a little hesitant. Something like the Holy Celestial Fruit was naturally important, but was there a need to tell Chen Hao?
However, on second thought, he was currently stuck between the Celestial Treasure Pavilion and the Liang Clan. If he dragged the Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries into this as well, he might have a chance to turn things around.
After all, something as important as the Holy Celestial Fruit could be kept a secret for a while, but it couldn't be kept a secret forever. With the Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries' information network, it wouldn't be long before they found out. Hence, there was no need to hide it from Chen Hao.
Moreover, he owed Chen Hao a favor in the Cloud Secret Realm. Moreover, Chen Hao was a good person. Hence, he might as well let Chen Hao reap some benefits first.
Chen Hao could also report this matter to the Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries and earn him a lot of Contribution Points. This would be beneficial to his promotion in the Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries.
Hence, he might as well sell Chen Hao a favor. After all, making a friend from the Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries was a very rare thing.
Hence … Xiao Chen said directly, "I'm currently at the Celestial Treasure Pavilion, and I'm planning to sell a Holy Celestial Fruit. What do you think? Is this a big deal? "
"W-what? What did you say? "Chen Hao was instantly stunned." What did you say you were planning to sell? A Holy Celestial Fruit? Did I hear you correctly? "
"No! I'm currently at a branch of the Celestial Treasure Pavilion. If you don't believe me, you'll be able to find out soon! "Xiao Chen shrugged.
"Damn, Brother Xiao Chen, this is not very kind of you. Selling a Holy Celestial Fruit is such a big deal, and you didn't even tell me in advance!" Chen Hao instantly felt very hurt.
"Ahem, this …" Xiao Chen coughed dryly. It was true that he didn't think of this guy before.
He had thought about using Chen Hao's identity to make the Celestial Treasure Pavilion more cautious, but things had developed in a way that exceeded his expectations, so he didn't think about Chen Hao again. However, he didn't expect Chen Hao to take the initiative to send him a message, and the timing was perfect.
