The exchange between the two went smoothly.
Xu Qian had a serene and captivating smile, like a gentlewoman from a noble family enjoying the tranquility of ti...
Who could have known that this shop in the bustling resource area was actually hers?
Soon enough.
They had reached an agreent.
She would purchase all of Xu Lingjun’s sellable flesh and blood at ninety percent of the market price.
Though it’s ninety percent...
That price is quite reasonable; after all, they need to make a profit too.
Especially compared to the governnt’s fifty-fifty cut, this price is incredibly fair. They also have to account for the possibility of items being left unsold.
"This is mainly because we’re family, five hundred years ago, we might have been closely related... If it were soone else, I wouldn’t agree to such conditions. It’s only because it’s you that I’m making an exception, do you understand my deeper intention?"
The reason Xu Qian gave was quite reasonable, and she indicated that her intention was indeed sincere.
She also proposed a reasonable request.
Since Xu Lingjun hasn’t brought anything out yet, and they are establishing a long-term transaction, she requires that each ti he sells, both of them must be present to exchange in person. This ensures a better appraisal of the items.
Nearby, Zong Xiaoping was astonished.
He thought to himself, isn’t the senior busy...? Old Xu has to go to the Secret Realm two or three tis a month, which ans he will inconveniently trouble you two or three tis, and each session won’t be short, taking at least a day to sort and tally.
Isn’t the senior busy after all?
"After all, Xiaojun is a significant client, and he did ntion his volu is substantial. As a senior, I naturally have to wholeheartedly handle everything, can’t take too much advantage, and of course, I can’t lose out either. Whatever I receive, I must report back to him, right Xiaojun?"
Xu Qian had her gentle smile, and before anyone noticed, the term ’junior’ had beco ’Xiaojun’.
"Then I thank you, senior."
Xu Lingjun evidently didn’t expect things to go so smoothly.
Indeed, having more friends opens up more paths...
It seems I should find ways to make more friends.
"By the way, Xiaojun, are you planning to train inside the Secret Realm?"
Amidst their chat, Xu Qian suddenly asked casually.
"Yes, I plan to."
"Then you better be careful."
Xu Qian softly advised, "Recently, the Secret Realm has been quite unsettled."
"Unsettled?"
Xu Lingjun recalled Li Jingjun’s slight injuries from the Secret Realm last ti. Although her abilities were pretty strong, she had just enrolled and already beca a second-stage student, starting from a completely different point compared to others...
Compared to normal second-stage students, Li Jingjun undoubtedly lacked the depth.
But the Ultimate Level Martial Skill’s boost allowed her to rank in the top ten among the second-stage students.
Yet she got injured both tis she entered the Secret Realm... Does this girl have bad luck?
He asked, "Is there a problem?"
"It’s no major issue."
Xu Qian gave Xu Lingjun a deep look, saying, "Lately, there’s soone in the Secret Realm with a white mask, claiming to be Jigsaw, robbing ordinary students’ resources. After each successful robbery, they leave a note saying...’If you want to bla soone, bla that Jigsaw.’ Clearly, he’s not the real Jigsaw."
She continued, "That person was probably robbed by Jigsaw and plans to get back at him, but not knowing Jigsaw’s true identity, he’s resorting to this thod to force him out."
"So that’s how it is."
Xu Lingjun thought, no wonder Li Jingjun seed hesitant when she ca to pick up Pang Hu before, yet ended up saying nothing.
Clearly, it was a sche targeting him; she was worried that once he knew the truth, he’d rush over for vengeance.
Unexpectedly, the other party is tarnishing my na... Hmph... Hmph...
Suddenly, Xu Lingjun thought this actually might be advantageous.
Although it’s unfair to the ordinary students, the more dire the situation, the more Source Value he can gather when he appears, right?
"I understand, thank you for the advice, senior. I’ll be careful."
"That’s good."
Xu Qian’s aningful gaze left Xu Lingjun speechless...
The other party, though subtly implying it, her eyes, and small gestures were clearly telling Xu Lingjun that she already knew his secret but wanted to keep it as their little secret.
But don’t think I don’t know your secret, you must realize that I already know it, just keeping it silent for now.
So, where’s the trust between people?
Isn’t the Secret Realm supposed to keep all identities hidden?
How co after just one visit, everyone around knows what I’ve done... How embarrassing, what should I do?
Fortunately, those opposing Xu Lingjun didn’t know; otherwise, they wouldn’t be using such silly thods to investigate his identity.
This sowhat preserved his self-esteem.
"Senior, I have another question."
"Speak."
Xu Qian smiled warmly, like a caring older sister.
"Inside the Secret Realm, aren’t masks bound?"
Xu Lingjun inquired, "There clearly should be soone else behind the Jigsaw mask, so how are they using Jigsaw’s mask?"
"This is for the students’ safety."
Xu Qian explained earnestly, "If you always use the sa mask, it might be fine short-term, but in the long-term, you’re prone to targeting. Do you follow ?"
Xu Lingjun nodded, and she continued, "Masks can change constantly. Maybe today you’re Zhang San, tomorrow you’re Li Si, and the day after you’re Wang Ermazi... Every ti you enter the Secret Realm, your identity changes, known only to yourself. This ensures the maximum safety from revenge attacks."
"I see."
Xu Lingjun asked, "If soone else uses the Jigsaw identity, can the real Jigsaw still use it?"
"Once they exit the Secret Realm, if nobody is using the Jigsaw identity, the true Jigsaw can then use that mask again... But currently, it’s said the Jigsaw is still rampant inside, with many students injured and resources taken."
Xu Qian quietly sighed, "The real Jigsaw wears a hideous mask, but it’s imagined his heart hides a great wish for peace, hoping for a world full of love. Sadly... pure good is not tolerated in the Secret Realm, his efforts have been wasted."
Xu Lingjun: "............"
I beg you, my family, please don’t say things like that in front of , it makes so embarrassed, what can I do?
But thankfully, I got this information from Xu Qian. Otherwise, I’d have foolishly taken Jigsaw’s mask, and it wouldn’t work... Wouldn’t it be a waste then?
Knowing that the Secret Realm is located deep inside the Martial Mansion.
Getting there and back takes half a day’s ti.
"Thanks for the heads-up, senior. I’ll be cautious of deranged criminals in the Secret Realm."
"That’s good."
Xu Qian bid farewell to Xu Lingjun, watching him pondering as he turned and left...
She then turned to Zong Xiaoping, smiling, "Xiaoping, you’ve done well, you’ve greatly helped this ti. Your Academic Credit reward for this month is doubled."
"Thank you, senior."
"No problem, because I’m your Teaching Assistant, and because you are my student, we help each other, right?"
Xu Qian smiled with aning.
Zong Xiaoping looked at Xu Qian, unable to resist sighing... thinking to himself, Senior, you’ve got the wrong idea.
The guy has a fiancée, and she’s wealthy. Most importantly, her father is the ultimate father-in-law, planning on handing over all his assets before the son-in-law even marries her.
Thinking of taking away Old Xu? Do you have such a father?
But it’s no concern of mine; using Old Xu’s ties doesn’t bother us brothers anyway.
With this thought, Zong Xiaoping smiled, "Senior, I have a few Martial Tao questions I’m confused about, and since you’re here, how about giving an explanation?"
"What explanation, close the door, let’s go, senior will take you to the Martial Tao Training Room and demonstrate!"
Xu Qian was in a great mood, waving her hand, indicating her approval for a paid break.
Zong Xiaoping was imdiately delighted.
