"who?"
Tianyang stood up, but then said, "Please come in."
He just used this incident as an excuse to get rid of being "tortured" by the moonlight.
A moment later, Hongxiu brought in a young woman, who was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a classical appearance and a dignified temperament.
Her long black hair was combed into a style that suited her temperament very well, and her pair of dark red eyes were as bright as gems and full of spirit.
She was wearing a dark red dress that was similar to her eye color, decorated with golden patterns and white ruyi buttons. She must have something like a sachet hidden on her body, because when she walked in, there was a faint scent of musk in the air.
"Hello, Mr. Tianyang." The young woman with black hair and red eyes had a smile on her lips. Her voice was gentle and calm, and very pleasant to the ear.
"Hello, who are you?" Tianyang was sure that he had never seen this woman before, and couldn't help but wonder how she knew his identity.
"My name is Xiangling, and I am Miss Qin Wangshu's personal maid. Our lady would like to ask Mr. Tianyang for a favor."
The woman who called herself Xiangling smiled and added, "Our lady is the president of the Golden Mint Chamber of Commerce. We are from the Emerald Castle in Central China."
Tianyang was quite surprised. Emerald Fort was one of the few super fortresses. He heard that the scenery there was pleasant and there were beautiful scenery everywhere in the fortress. Unfortunately, this journey did not go deep into the Central Continent, so naturally he could not visit Emerald Fort.
Tian Yang was not expecting the scent of golden mint to come from Emerald Castle, which really aroused his interest. However, interest was interest, and he still had the necessary caution.
Tian Yang smiled and said, "That's strange. I have no connection with your family or your young lady. How did your young lady know my name? And how did she know if I could help her?"
Xiangling smiled faintly: "Our Golden Mint Chamber of Commerce often goes to the Western Continent, so we have some friendship with the captain."
A simple sentence cleared up Tianyang's doubts. It turned out that Miss Qin had learned about him through the captain. Probably, she knew what happened yesterday from the captain and knew his abilities, so she came to ask for his help.
"So, what does your lady want me to help you with?" Tianyang asked again.
Xiangling smiled and said, "For the details, let our young lady explain it in detail to Mr. Tianyang. The young lady said that if Mr. Tianyang is willing to help, she will reward him handsomely."
“Besides, if Mr. Tianyang is not interested after listening to it, that’s fine.”
Tianyang nodded: "In that case, I will go with you."
Tianyang would have to stay on the boat for ten days or half a month anyway, and he didn't want to be caught by the moonlight playing chess every day and feel the pain of being crushed, so he agreed to Xiangling's request.
Moonlight also stood up: "I'll go with you."
Xiangling did not object and nodded, "Please follow me, both of you."
As a frequent visitor to the Poseidon, the chairman of Golden Mint naturally lived in the first-class cabin. However, when Tian Yang walked into the living room, he found that in addition to him, Miss Qin had invited two other people.
One was an old man wearing a silver gown with white hair on his temples. He had a full forehead, bright eyes, a smile on his lips, and was talking in a low voice with another woman sitting next to him.
He had two walnuts in his hands, and the old man was turning the two walnuts as he spoke.
Hearing the footsteps, he raised his head, glanced at Tianyang, smiled slightly, and then lowered his eyes again.
The other woman was about thirty years old, with a rather ordinary appearance and rough hair. Although she wore a hat, the
The hair still emerged stubbornly.
She was wearing an eye patch and it looked like her eyes had been injured, but it was unclear whether she didn't have a prosthetic eye or, like Tianyang, was trying to cover up something.
"Mr. Tianyang, please wait a moment. I will go and inform the young lady that all the guests have arrived."
Xiangling asked Tianyang and the other man to sit on the sofa nearby, and then she walked towards the master bedroom of the ship. Outside the master bedroom, two women in dark red long clothes stood.
The two girls naturally exuded a strong aura. They were both Ascendants, and should be at level 4.
However, it is not surprising that a Chamber of Commerce chairman has two Ascendant guards.
"Hehe, what's your name, little brother?"
The old man who was playing with the walnut said, "I am Chen Dubu, and the person next to me is Li Lin. Miss Li is an expert."
As he said this, the old man chuckled, but he didn't say what field he was an "expert in", which made it clear that he was just trying to whet people's appetite.
The woman named Li Lin shook her head and laughed, "Mr. Chen, please stop making fun of me. How dare I call myself an expert in front of you?"
The two of them were talking back and forth, seemingly praising each other.
Tianyang didn't interrupt, just listened quietly with a polite smile on his face, wondering why Qin Wangshu hadn't come out yet.
Over there, after Li Lin and Chen Dubu had been complimenting each other for a while, Li Lin looked at Tian Yang with some dissatisfaction: "Why don't you introduce yourself? Do you think that Old Chen and I are not worthy of knowing your name?"
How could that be possible? You guys are just praising them so enthusiastically that I don’t want to disturb you.
Tian Yang coughed dryly and said with a smile: "Ms. Li, Mr. Chen. Don't get me wrong, I was just flattered and forgot the words for a moment."
He gave his name, said "Please give me your guidance", and then sat quietly.
The moonlight beside him glared at him, feeling amused, thinking that Tianyang was just playing tricks on her. She didn't point it out, just looked here and there.
Li Lin, who was facing Tian Yang, asked again, "Where are you from? I see you are not very old. What is your rank? Are you at rank 4?"
"I'm from the East Continent, my position is low, so it's hard for me to compare with you two."
Chen Dubu laughed and said, "Little brother, you are too modest. You must be at least rank 4, otherwise Miss Qin would not have chosen you."
As they were talking, they heard footsteps, and then they heard Xiangling say, "Sorry to have kept you waiting, our young lady is here."
Tianyang and the others looked back and saw a woman of similar age walking behind Xiangling. Her facial features were pretty, but not very distinctive, which disappointed Tianyang.
This was somewhat different from the Qin Wangshu he had imagined.
Qin Wangshu was accompanied by a puppy, which seemed to be her pet. After the female chairwoman of the Chamber of Commerce sat down, she picked up the puppy. But the dog with a bell tied around its neck seemed to be unwilling to be held by her and wanted to jump off.
At this time Xiangling glared at it, and the puppy immediately became obedient, lying quietly on Qin Wangshu's legs, allowing Qin Wangshu to touch its back.
"Sorry, I caught a slight cold and was taking a short rest just now. I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting." Qin Wangshu, who looked relatively ordinary, smiled slightly and looked around. His eyes swept over everyone and stayed on Tianyang a little longer.
Then he continued, "I invited you all here today because I hope you three can do me a favor."
Chen Dubu played with the walnut and laughed: "Miss Qin, if you need anything, just ask.
If Chen can do it, he will not refuse. "
Li Lin also laughed and said, "Since Elder Chen has agreed, then I have nothing to say. Among the three of us, Elder Chen has the most experience and the highest combat power, so we will naturally follow his lead."
"With him in charge, Brother Tianyang and I can run errands and definitely help Miss Qin solve her problems."
After saying that, Li Lin looked towards Tian Yang and said, "What did you say?"
Tian Yang did not answer but asked: "What difficulties did Miss Qin encounter?"
Seeing that Tianyang did not support her, Li Lin's eyes flashed with displeasure, but she did not lose her temper on the spot. She just snorted softly through her nose.
Qin Wangshu looked at Tianyang and said, "Someone wants to kill me."
Chen Dubu suddenly spoke up and groaned, "Who is so bold as to do harm to Miss Qin? Miss Qin, please rest assured that even if I have to sacrifice my own life, I will protect you!"
After he finished speaking, he heard a light laugh. Looking coldly, it was moonlight.
Yue Guang heard the flattering intent between the lines of Chen's words and couldn't help laughing.
It was not a big deal for her to smile, but Chen Dubu was embarrassed and asked in a deep voice, "Miss, do you think that I am overestimating my own abilities?"
Just as Yue Guang was about to respond, Tian Yang's hand fell on her knee. She immediately understood and said reluctantly, "How dare I."
Tian Yang stood up and tried to smooth things over, "My friend is young and ignorant, so Mr. Chen, there's no need to argue with her."
Chen Dubu then smiled, looked at Tianyang with satisfaction, and sat back.
Tian Yang said again: "Ms. Qin, forgive me for being blunt. If someone is against you, can't you solve it with the power of the Golden Mint Chamber of Commerce?"
Chen Dubu and Li Lin looked thoughtful. It was not only Tianyang who thought of this, but they suddenly received an invitation from Qin Wangshu. Both of them wanted to use this opportunity to establish a relationship with the Golden Peppermint Chamber of Commerce, so they subconsciously ignored this issue.
Now that Tianyang had brought this up, the two of them were greatly puzzled. With the strength of the Golden Mint Chamber of Commerce, they should not need to rely on external forces.
unless...
Qin Wangshu sighed and said, "I suspect that the man is from our Chamber of Commerce, so we have to rescue a few of them."
"I have inquired about it. Mr. Chen's gold mining group has been to many invincible worlds. Mr. Chen himself is a rare strong man. As for Miss Li Lin, although you are a loner, you are a well-known tracking expert in the circle."
"As for Mr. Tianyang..."
"In short, all three of you have your own strengths. Therefore, I would like to draw on your strengths and hope to catch the murderer before I get off the ship."
Tian Yang narrowed his eyes slightly: "Murderer? So, the other party has committed a murder before?"
Qin Wangshu nodded and said, "Yes, the enemy had already attempted assassination once while we were on the road. That time, one of my maids was brutally murdered."
"On that day, only a few members of the Chamber of Commerce knew my whereabouts, and they were also core members of our Chamber of Commerce. That's why I am sure that the person who wanted to kill me was among us."
"I see."
Chen Dubu sighed, "No wonder Miss Qin asked us for help. If the murderer is inside the Chamber of Commerce, then no matter what you do, he will find out."
"That's right. Please do me a favor. I won't treat you unfairly." After Qin Wangshu said this, he looked at the maid Xiangling.
The maid with black hair, red eyes and classical temperament clapped her hands immediately, and a female guard came forward holding a box...
