Chapter 210
210 Chapter 210-playing hard to get
The condition that Xia Pingan had just proposed was a condition that the adjudicator Union might accept after thinking about it for an entire night.
If he had asked for all the divine Springs from the one sun realm to the nine Sun realm and a few hundred thousand gold coins from the start, which would make the adjudicator Army feel the pinch, then the deal would not have been possible.
If he reported too little, it would not match the value of this information.
A member of the bloody demon church who was hiding in Shangjing city in exchange for a few divine Springs and 20000 gold coins. Xia Pingan thought that the higher-ups would want to give it a try once they found out about this price. Even if they were eventually proven to have been scammed, it would not be a big loss.
LAN Wuwei was not an idiot. The fact that he was in charge of contacting Xia Pingan in the Shadow Guard proved his ability.
When Xia Pingan mentioned the illusionary child and the information related to the Crown Prince and the bloody demon sect, a thought flashed through LAN Wuwei’s mind. Could it be that Xia Pingan had fused with the illusionary child’s realm Pearl and then slipped away?
However, this thought only flashed through his mind for a moment before LAN Wuwei immediately rejected it.
Even if Xia ping ‘an had merged with the realm Pearl of the illusionary child, the Crown Prince had an expert around him, so the illusionary child couldn’t get close to him. Moreover, the Crown Prince should have arrived in the underground city a few days ago. At that time, Xia ping’ an had not yet obtained the realm Pearl of the illusionary child. Therefore, this information couldn’t be Xia ping ‘an’s discovery of the black robe.
Also, even if Xia ping ‘an could summon the illusionary child, he would not have the ability to identify the members of the blood demon church. Xia ping’ an would not be able to find the members of the blood demon church as soon as he fused with the realm Pearl.
If the members of the bloody demon church could be found so easily, there would be no place for them in the entire Shang Jing city.
In summary, the information that Xia Pingan had brought was of great value and had to be taken seriously.
“The resources you’ve just mentioned have already exceeded the upper limit of my authority. I don’t have any immortal spring in my pawnshop. I have to ask for your advice!” LAN Wuwei said immediately.
“Alright!” Xia Pingan nodded.
“If the higher-ups agree, how do we exchange?”
“You give me the item, I will give it to that person. If that person tells me the information, I will send it back!”
“You’re a middleman?”
yes, that person doesn’t seem to want to have direct contact with the judgement Army. I guess he’s more at ease with me because I’m too weak!
“How are you going to find that person?”
“I can’t find him. As long as I leave this place, he will come to find me!”
wait here for Yingluo. after LAN Wuwei finished speaking, he left the room through the secret passage, leaving Xia Pingan in the room.
Xia Pingan waited patiently in the room.
……
After leaving the auspicious room, LAN Wuwei came to his study through a secret passage. He took out a brush and ink from his study and began to write furiously. Soon, he had written on a piece of paper. He rolled up the paper and put it in a small bamboo tube.
LAN Wuwei pushed open the study’s window after he was done. With a flash of mist on his hand, he summoned a dark green Egg. In the blink of an eye, the egg cracked open and a dark green bird crawled out from the egg. It jumped around on his palm and ate the eggshell. The bird grew in the wind and became the size of a Sparrow. It was dark green and very agile.
LAN Wuwei picked up the bamboo tube in his hand. The dark green bird swallowed the bamboo tube in one gulp. It flapped its wings and let out a soft buzzing sound. With a Swoosh, it flew out of the study’s window at lightning speed and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
LAN Wuwei left the study and continued to the front hall of the pawnshop.
Forty minutes later, a guest arrived at the fearless house. The guest said that he wanted to pawn off his family heirloom, so LAN Wuwei led him to another secret room. Less than a minute after the guest left, LAN Wuwei reappeared in the auspicious room and saw Xia Pingan.
LAN Wuwei’s hand moved and a small wooden box appeared in his hand. He placed the box on the table in front of Xia Pingan.
“The things are all here!”
Xia Pingan opened the box and took a look. There were four bottles with different lights in the box. The contents of the four bottles were the divine spring water from the one-sun realm to the four-sun realm. In addition to these four bottles, there were twenty gold notes in the alley, each worth a thousand gold.
Xia Pingan nodded and kept the box in his storage space.
“When that person gets the item and completes the transaction, I’ll come to find you again, Yingying.”
you can tell that person that the blood demon church is our nemesis. We don’t care who he is or how he obtained the information. As long as the information he provides is accurate and allows us to eliminate the members of the blood demon church hidden in Shangjing city and the great Shang kingdom, we can continue this deal in the future!
“Alright!” Xia Pingan nodded. He put on his wig and moustache again, then left the secret room.
20,000 gold coins and four divine Springs!
As long as they had the key information and could make use of the situation reasonably, everything was that simple. The wealth and resources that ordinary people could not reach even if they worked hard for their entire lives were obtained just like that.
Xia ping ‘an walked out of the fearless house and went to the alley outside. Everything was normal in the alley, and there were not many people. Only the entrance of the brothel with red lanterns in the distance was still lively.
This wasn’t a deal between a mysterious person and the adjudicating Army, but a deal between Xia ping ‘an and the adjudicating Army.
The ruling Army had merely become Xia ping ‘an’s channel for information exchange.
Is the deal done?
Of course not!
If everything was so easy and the deal was completed just like that, it would be an insult to the ability of the adjudicator Army and the intelligence of the big shots.
It was impossible for the higher-ups to not dig out a mysterious person who knew the whereabouts of the Crown Prince and the secrets of the great Shang. At the same time, he also knew about the hidden members of the blood demon church in Shangjing.
Although the item is in my hands, I can’t use it now.
Although everything in the surroundings was normal, and Xia ping ‘an did not notice anything unusual, he knew that he must have been targeted by the experts of the ruling Army.
Just like how he came, Xia Pingan walked to the other side of the box. However, with a thought, the lively and lovely Child of Fortune in a red dudou appeared beside him.
The Child of Fortune first jumped onto Xia Pingan’s shoulder and looked around. In the next second, the Child of Fortune disappeared from Xia Pingan’s shoulder in a flash. He jumped into the shadow of a Park not far away from the alley and sat in the void of the shadow as if he was sitting on a person’s head. He pointed at his butt.
There was nothing under the Child of Fortune’s butt. There was no one at all, but Xia Pingan’s heart skipped a beat. He knew that the Child of Fortune had found someone who could be completely invisible.
Invisibility, no aura, this ability was too abnormal.
Xia Pingan continued to walk outside.
In the next second, the Child of Fortune jumped up from the ground and was already in the sky. Xia Pingan’s view also appeared in the sky.
A Grey Goshawk was hovering in the sky thousands of meters above the ground and overlooking the city with its sharp eyes. Riding on the back of the grey Goshawk, the Child of Fortune God pointed at the head of the grey Goshawk once again.
Such goshawks could be seen in the sky of Shangjing at any time, and there were many of them. They would not attract any attention at all.
When Xia ping ‘an walked out of hundred spirits Lane, the Child of Fortune jumped onto the body of an unremarkable-looking warrior on the street. That warrior was about 300 meters away from Xia ping’ an. He was hanging on the street, keeping a distance from Xia ping ‘an.
Wherever Xia ping ‘an went, that disheveled warrior followed. That person whose entire body was transparent and had no aura followed. The gray goshawk in the sky also flew high up in the sky.
If it wasn’t for the Child of Fortune, Xia Pingan wouldn’t have noticed that so many eyes were staring at her.
In the night, Xia Pingan was like a homeless man. He crossed half of Shangjing on his feet. After a few hours, he finally arrived at the southern suburbs of Shangjing, where there were not many people. He crawled under a bridge and skillfully found a place to shelter himself from the wind. He picked up a dirty and tattered blanket from the ground, covered himself, and fell asleep.
It was normal for a wanted criminal who could not reveal his identity to become a homeless man sleeping under a bridge.
As for those few pairs of eyes staring at him, he would just let them stare.
Xia ping ‘an was a vagrant under the bridge for two days. On the morning of the third day, Xia ping’ an came to the fearless house again.
In the same secret room, Xia Pingan took out the wooden box that LAN Wuwei had given him two days ago and placed it in front of LAN Wuwei.
“The things are all inside, they’ve never been touched!”
what does this mean? did you not complete the transaction? ” LAN Wuwei asked with a frown.
“As I’ve told you, that person probably doesn’t want to deal with the adjudicator Army; therefore, he chose to make a deal with them through me. As I’m too weak, he hasn’t appeared for 2 days. However, this morning, I suddenly heard a voice that he didn’t like to stare at my 3 pairs of eyes. Therefore, this deal is canceled. It seems that the higher-ups don’t trust me and have people follow me to find that person. I’m afraid that person has already found the one that the higher-ups assigned. I really can’t complete this transaction. If that person thinks that I’m setting him up, then I’m just seeking my own death. I’ll just ask the higher-ups to find someone else!” Xia Pingan’s face was cold. After saying this, he turned around and left.
LAN Wuwei was obviously panicking. He quickly stopped Xia Pingan and said, ” don’t get agitated, don’t get agitated. I really didn’t know that someone was following you. I think the higher-ups were worried about your safety and made this arrangement. Please wait here for a moment. I’ll go and confirm it!
Xia Pingan was waiting in the room. After more than half an hour, LAN Wuwei came in again with a guilty look on his face. cough, cough. The higher-ups have already withdrawn all the people who are protecting you. They won’t send anyone to keep an eye on you anymore. This time, that person should be able to make a deal with you without worry, Yingluo.
