498: Chapter 65: Departure from the Ship 498: Chapter 65: Departure from the Ship “Qian Zhangui.”
Xie Xuanyi smiled, “I haven’t even mentioned what I want to discuss.”
“Lord Xie, I am merely a businessman.”
Qian San had no intention of opening the door to meet.
He chuckled, subtly saying: “You possess vast Divine Skills, and with the support of the Taoist and Fan Yin Temple…
If there’s trouble even you can’t handle, then it’s likely beyond me as well.”
…
Xie Xuanyi fell silent.
Qian San’s words were extremely humble.
But Xie Xuanyi knew, this guy simply wanted to avoid trouble.
From the moment he appeared, he could tell that this “Qian San” was no ordinary character.
Though a Li People, he could dispatch the Purple Green Treasure Ship within the border of Chu Country; he must hold significant status and power within Fangyuan Square.
Besides that.
There should be a high-grade Divine Soul Treasure on Qian San.
His Divine Thought swept over but could not probe in detail when it passed over this person.
Xie Xuanyi couldn’t determine Qian San’s realm.
However, his Heart Lake Sensing felt no anomalies.
Both True Master Jun Shan and Miao Zhen boarded the ship at ease.
All signs were sufficient to indicate that “Qian San” was not an enemy.
“Fangyuan Square is supposed to be a place for doing business, isn’t it?
Shopkeeper Qian, aren’t you interested in a ready deal?”
Xie Xuanyi paused for a moment, but eventually decided to speak.
This time, as his voice just came out.
The tightly closed door of Qian San’s room clicked open, and the green-robed Confucian Scholar looked displeased.
“Before setting sail, I already said.”
Qian San said coldly: “This trip to Fangyuan Square is just to ferry people, no fighting.
As for the rights and wrongs in the worldly society, I have no intention to get involved.
Lord Xie, if you have enemies, then you should resolve your feuds on your own…”
“This deal does not require the Shopkeeper to lift a finger.”
Xie Xuanyi spoke indifferently: “The grievances towards me, I will resolve myself.”
“…?”
Qian San furrowed his brows.
“I would like to ask the Shopkeeper to take care of a few friends.”
Xie Xuanyi smiled and said: “You must have seen the earlier scene.
Had True Master Jun Shan not acted, True Master Xiao You would have overturned the entire Treasure Ship.”
“He doesn’t have that capability.”
Qian San stated emotionlessly: “This deal, since Fangyuan Square has taken it on, it will naturally ensure accountability…
As agreed, the Purple Green Treasure Ship will arrive at the ferry downstream of Qu River in three hours.
However, how many people on the ship will survive to the end, that’s outside the deal and has nothing to do with me.”
Xie Xuanyi raised an eyebrow; this statement was quite meaningful.
Qian San was definitely capable.
Was he also a Yin God?
His Divine Thought could not probe clearly…
both Jun Shan and Miao Zhen didn’t take too many precautions, yet this guy really kept a low profile.
“What if someone tries to dismantle the ship later on?” Xie Xuanyi smiled again.
Qian San shook his head with certainty: “There won’t be.”
“The one who wants to kill me is Yuan Jimo.”
Xie Xuanyi laid his cards on the table, looking calmly at the distance.
Although it was calm now, there were threads of Killing Intent intertwining within the heavens and earth: “Yuan Jimo’s temperament is well-known to the world.
To kill me, he will stop at nothing.
If I don’t leave this ship, in at most an hour, the covert moves of the Imperial City Department will follow…
At that time, does Shopkeeper Qian truly have confidence in completing this transaction?”
…
This time, it was Qian San who fell silent.
Upon hearing the name Yuan Jimo.
A trace of disgust flashed in Qian San’s eyes, but it was quickly concealed.
He took a deep breath: “What are you trying to say?”
“Shopkeeper Qian, my request is very simple.”
Xie Xuanyi smiled and said: “I will take the initiative to leave the Treasure Ship.
Promise me, to ensure the safety of the people from the envoy…
If the Imperial City Department sends assassins aboard, please lend a hand to look after them.”
“Have you gone mad?”
Qian San looked at Xie Xuanyi with eyes full of surprise.
He confirmed once again.
This youth was merely a protege of the Grotto Heaven.
The news of this Heavenly Pride List has already spread far and wide…
As a high-level member of Fangyuan Square, Qian San naturally knew that Xie Zhen was the leader of the Heavenly Pride List.
But even with the strength to crush a Grotto Heaven, what of it?
“Yuan Jimo is at least in the Fifteenth Realm of Yin God…”
Qian San lowered his voice and said gravely: “Knowing it’s him who wants to kill you, you still dare to leave the ship?”
He never imagined the deal that Xie Zhen proposed would be so reckless.
Qian San thought this young man wanted to make an offer to hire him, to directly settle this trouble.
“Didn’t Shopkeeper say you don’t care about the life and death of the people on this ship?”
Xie Xuanyi smiled, “By that logic, even if I die, it seems to have nothing to do with this deal, right…”
Qian San was stunned.
“Shopkeeper Qian, if I’m not mistaken, you were intentionally sent by Chen Jingxuan, weren’t you?”
Just at that moment.
A mild and indifferent voice arose within Qian San’s Heart Lake.
“???”
Qian San’s pupils contracted, incredulously looking at the youth before him.
With these words spoken, the deepest string in his Heart Lake trembled profoundly: “You…”
“It seems I really haven’t guessed wrong.”
Xie Xuanyi smiled with lowered brows: “Sent on a thousand-li mission, with hidden Killing Intent, how could Chen Jingxuan not have a plan B?
Qu River is the best place to act, and also the last.
Yuan Jimo is most likely to make a move now; with his intelligence, he would definitely arrange a ‘Dark Child’ to save my life at a critical moment.
However, this ‘Dark Child’ must be concealed and clearly separated from me; otherwise, if detected by the Imperial City Department, this hunt would prematurely end.”
…
Upon hearing this, Qian San looked at the youth before him with a complex expression.
“This is a good idea, but unfortunately, Yuan Jimo won’t be fooled so easily.”
Xie Xuanyi spoke calmly: “Huo Qu, Red Immortal, Xiao You…
These chess pieces have already come into play.
However, Yuan Jimo himself is still without a trace.
He must be by the Qu River riverfront, watching all this from afar.
For him, this assassination is extremely risky and he has only one chance.
If something goes amiss, he can abandon all the preparations he’s made at any moment.”
