Donglai Restaurant, top floor.
In the hall that used to be Lin Dong's house and is now decorated in an antique style, a young man is lying on a big chair with two maids beside him, one is massaging his shoulders and the other is massaging his legs.
In front of us, there was a young woman singing a little song, sounding like she was crying and complaining.
Behind her, a band playing various instruments was accompanying the woman.
The young man on the big chair closed his eyes, enjoying the maid's service and listening to the beautiful music, almost falling asleep. He was less than 30 years old, with a slightly pale face, deep eye bags, and a somewhat sickly look.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps was heard, which prevented the young man from hearing the music, and he immediately showed an unhappy expression.
He opened his eyes and said slowly, "Who is it? Can't you see I'm taking a break? Can't you let me listen to the music?"
"Sorry, sorry." A rough voice sounded, and it turned out that the person who walked into the hall was Xu Ao.
Seeing that it was Xu Ao, the young man didn't dare to put on airs anymore. He stood up and waved his hands repeatedly, sending the maid and the musicians away. Then he said with a smile, "Hey, isn't this Brother Xu? How come you have time to come up and sit down? Someone, come and serve tea."
Xu Ao chuckled and waved his hand. One of his men came forward with a gift box and placed it on the table next to the young man.
The pale young man asked in surprise: "Brother Xu, what is this?"
"Mr. Lin, just open it and you'll know." Xu Ao sat down aside. A servant brought him hot tea. He picked it up and drank it without any courtesy, as if he was at home.
Seeing this, the young man lowered his head, a barely perceptible coldness flashed across his eyes, and then he smiled again and opened the box. Inside the box, there was a red velvet cushion and a blue gem inside. In the gem, there were tiny dots of light floating up and down from time to time, like stars, very magical.
When the box was opened, the young man felt the temperature around him was pleasant, as if there were gusts of breeze blowing, which was very comfortable. His whole spirit became much better, as if the fatigue in his body was instantly dissipated.
"What is this thing that has such miraculous effects?"
Xu Ao smiled and said, "This is a treasure that was just discovered in the Reverse Realm. It can make the space within a certain range as spring-like all year round. After identification, it was found that it can also strengthen the body and prolong life. Therefore, the appraiser gave it a name, the Longevity Pearl."
"It has such a wonderful use?" The young man shook his head: "This gift is too valuable. I can't accept it. Please take it back, Brother Xu."
Xu Ao laughed and said, "What are you talking about, Young Master Lin? You are now the leader of our Donglai Caravan. We all hope that you will live a hundred years so that you can lead our caravan forever."
"If you can't keep this precious pearl, who else can?"
After some evasion, the young man finally said, "Well, since Brother Xu said so, I will respectfully obey your command."
After seeing the other party accept the gift, Xu Ao said seriously: "I wonder if Young Master Lin has heard that your elder brother, Young Master Lin, is plotting to deal with us and even wants to pull you down from the throne of the leader."
The young man on the seat was Lin Dong's youngest son, Lin Taosheng. After Lin Dong's sudden death, Xu Ao approached him to seek cooperation. Lin Taosheng wanted to use Xu Ao's military power to take the throne of the caravan leader. Xu Ao also wanted to use Lin Taosheng's name to secretly control the caravan.
The two hit it off immediately and took lightning speed to quickly kick Lin Dong's eldest son, Lin Pingsheng, out of the caravan.
After all, Lin Pingsheng is Lin Dong's eldest son, and he has accumulated some savings over the years, both in terms of connections and financial resources. How could he be willing to give up his bright future
Lin Taosheng knew about this, and sneered when he heard it: "Boss, don't you understand the situation? What can he do to fight me and us? If it weren't for our brotherhood, I would have kicked him out of Gaoshanbao long ago."
Xu Ao chuckled and said, "Just this morning, my people saw the young master going to look for someone."
Lin Taosheng frowned slightly: "Who?"
"The man who killed Luo Shuang." Xu Ao said again, "However, he was ignored. In fact, the young master was almost killed by that man's men."
Lin Taosheng looked regretful, and then said: "I have heard of that person too, he seems to be a teenager? He is fine, but his father did something that shocked the whole city a few days ago, but I don't know if it is true or not."
"Are you referring to the incident on the day of registration when the owner of Death Valley was brought to the Chamber of Commerce building?" Xu Ao said in a deep voice, "Although I was not there, I heard that the fortress army was dispatched at that time, and even General Qin Xiao was there, so it should be true."
Lin Taosheng took a breath and said, "So, that Mr. Su is really terrible. Moreover, Mr. Tu made an exception and gave their caravan a place. They don't need to participate in tomorrow's competition and can go to the War God Castle."
"I don't know what kind of shit luck this Ruixiang Caravan had, to actually hook up with such a person, and instantly become a phoenix. In the past, they wouldn't even be worthy of carrying my shoes!"
Xu Ao nodded: "Mr. Lin once took me to visit them. At that time, I thought that this person was at most rank 5 or rank 6. Now it seems that his strength is unfathomable."
"From the current situation, there are three places for the God of War Festival. Ruixiang Caravan has already won one, and Mr. Tu's caravan will also win one. In other words, the remaining caravans can only compete for one place."
Lin Taosheng asked nervously: "Brother Xu, are you sure?"
Xu Ao nodded: "If Young Master Lin is willing to listen to me and put out some funds, we can definitely invite a high-ranking expert to join. With me, it should be difficult to compete with Mr. Tu, but I am confident that I can win a spot."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Lin Taosheng nodded, "Also, I plan to prepare some gifts and visit Zhang Rui. No matter what, he has a noble person to help him now. As long as that noble person has not left him, we can only show him kindness."
"Otherwise, maybe the owner of Death Valley will come here directly next time."
Xu Ao nodded, thinking that there was nothing wrong with Lin Taosheng's approach. Then the two discussed some details about tomorrow's game. It was not until sunset that Xu Ao said goodbye and left.
As soon as he left, Lin Taosheng immediately put away the longevity pearl, snorted, and ordered someone to seal it up.
Tianyang spent the whole afternoon strolling around and even took Xingluo to the Volcano Bar. As a result, when Xingluo was drinking, he attracted a crowd of curious people. If Kaidi hadn't driven them all away, Tianyang would have had to let Xingluo go back to the hotel first.
Kaidi was worried that the Donglai Caravan would cause trouble for Tianyang, but now that Lin Dong is dead, the Donglai Caravan is unable to take care of itself and naturally has no time to cause trouble for Tianyang.
It was not until dusk that Tianyang said goodbye and left. When he returned to the hotel, he was invited by Zhang Rui to have dinner.
After dinner, Tianyang returned to the hotel and took out the communication device given by Bidou.
Got some information.
Most of them were messages about secret parties held by branches of the Hunger Ball in various fortresses. One of them was from Bidou, saying that Gold was going to deliver a completed Level 7 medium tonight, and Bidou asked Tianyang to pick it up.
After seeing the news, Tianyang knocked on his father's bedroom door.
"Come in."
Tianyang pushed open the door and saw his father sitting on the windowsill, looking at the night scene outside the window.
"Your mother used to like sitting by the window at night, staring out into the distance. I often laughed at her for wasting such precious time. She always said that I didn't understand, and I really didn't understand."
"But now, I seem to understand a little bit..."
Su Lie smiled and looked back at his son: "You want to go out?"
Tian Yang nodded: "I've asked someone to make a medium for you. It's already been made. When I bring it back, you can be promoted to Rank 7."
Su Lie shrugged and said, "Shall I go with you?"
"No need, I'll be back soon." Tianyang looked at his father and said to himself, you just stay here and watch the night.
"Well, since you said so, you'd better be careful." Su Lie didn't ask Tianyang where he was going to get the medium. After he said this, he leaned against the window and looked outside.
Tianyang quietly retreated, called Xingluo to his room, then opened the crack door and disappeared into the Baishi Hotel.
When he walked out of the crack door again, he had already arrived at an alley in the lower city of the Skyfort. Tianyang was wearing a "midnight cloak" and a "messenger mask" on his face, and he had transformed into the god of death.
Xing Luo was also fully armed, but looking at her armor made of different relics, Tian Yang felt that she was too different: "It seems that I have to get you a set of armor."
Then with a thought, Xing Luo flashed to the roof of a nearby small building, keeping a distance from Tianyang, one in the light and the other in the dark, and went towards the gray market.
The Gray Market tonight is not as lively as before, but the flow of people is still a lot more than before.
Tianyang entered the market, squeezed through the crowd, and came to the Hunger Dance. Tonight, the woman dressed as a noble lady was in charge of welcoming and seeing off people at the door. Seeing that it was Tianyang, she quickly called someone to take him to find Bidou.
When I arrived at Bidou's room, I heard Bidou's voice from inside: "This is true. Okay, I'll take people there right away."
Then the door opened, and Bidou, who looked pale, was about to go out, and almost bumped into Tianyang. Seeing it was him, he called out softly, "Mr. Death, you are here."
Tianyang nodded and said in the voice of the god of death: "Are you going out? Give me the medium first."
Bidou smiled bitterly: "That's why I'm going out."
Tian Yang frowned slightly behind his mask and asked, "What happened?"
Bidou answered quickly: "I just received a message from Mr. Huang Jin that his laboratory was under siege. It seems that someone received the message and knew that he was making a level 7 medium recently, so they had evil intentions and wanted to snatch your medium, Mr. Death."
"Mr. Huang Jin was fighting hard, but he couldn't break through, so he asked me for help."
Grab the medium
You are so brave that you even dare to steal my things!
Tian Yang snorted coldly in his mask: "Take me with you!"
