Chapter 245: The Truth Revealed in a Sentence

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Hearing that Wang Xiao knew the reason why he was being chased, Tang

Longji immediately showed that he was all ears.

Wang Xiao pointed at the place where Tang Longji had picked up the crystals. “There’s no crystal mine in that location. Logically speaking, no crystals should appear. Moreover, although these crystals are useless to a lord, their quality is good. They’re quite suitable for making decorations.”

“Of course I know that. That’s why I want to pick them up and make jewelry for my wife! ”

Tang Longji replied matter-of-factly, then revealed a puzzled expression. “But what does this have to do with the [Silver Shadow Leopard] chasing me?”

“Because this is its ‘collection’.”

Wang Xiao did not know whether to laugh or cry as he returned. As early as the first time he entered the [Thorn Canyon], he had discovered that the [Silver Shadow Leopard] had the habit of collecting shiny stones.

At that time, in order to collect the [Breakthrough Stone], Wang Xiao used the [Endless Swamp] to trap the [Silver Shadow Leopard]. In the end, the other party mistakenly thought that he also had this hobby. Later on, it even gave Wang Xiao many from its “collection”.

After Wang Xiao took the [Breakthrough Stone] he needed from it, he also returned dozens of energy cores to the Silver Shadow Leopard. It was probably because of this that the Silver Shadow Leopard was so close to Wang Xiao.

Now that Tang Longji had taken away the Silver Shadow Leopard’s beloved collection and had yet to give it anything in return, it would be strange if the Silver Shadow Leopard did not chase after him!

With this in mind, Wang Xiao directly opened the interface, pulled out 20 [Beginner Energy Cores] and gave them to Tang Longji.

Tang Longji was stunned. “What is this for?”

“To help you resolve the conflict.”

Wang Xiao pointed at the crystal in Tang Longji’s hand. “I’ll call the [Silver Shadow Leopard] over later. Give it these energy cores and apologize.” “A-Apologize?

Tang Longji was even more stunned when he heard this. He had lived for nearly 40 years, but this was the first time he had heard such a thing. A lord apologizing to a soldier?

Regarding this, Wang Xiao could only smile helplessly. He could understand Tang Longji’s doubts very well. After all, not every lord was as unlucky as him to encounter so many soldiers with “character”.

As he thought to himself, Wang Xiao had already summoned the [Silver Shadow Leopard] again.

Seeing the crystals in Tang Longji’s hand, the [Silver Shadow Leopard] immediately lowered its body and prepared to fight. It was only because Wang

Xiao was present that it did not act rashly.

“Uncle Tang, come on.”

Wang Xiao raised his hand helplessly. “Tell it properly. It can understand you.”

Tang Longji had a suspicious expression, but he still slowly squatted down and placed the 20 [Beginner Energy Cores] on the ground. “Um… I like these crystals very much. I’ll exchange them for these energy cores with you. Is that okay?”

The Silver Shadow Leopard let out a low roar from its throat and looked at Wang Xiao with its silver-white eyes. Seeing its lord nod, it went forward and picked up the [Beginner Energy Cores]. It turned around and slowly walked into the distance.

“Look!”

Tang Longji did not speak, mainly because he did not know what to say. After nearly ten seconds, he said, “Wang Xiao, it’s really been hard on you…”

Wang Xiao was stunned for a moment before understanding what he meant. He also smiled bitterly with Tang Longji. “You’ll get used to it. I have a mutated beast that doesn’t work unless I praise it. There’s also a mutated beast that’s very afraid of death and wants to hide whenever it sees an enemy. Do you want to go take a look?”

Tang Longji thought for a moment and shook his head. He chuckled teasingly and said, “Forget it. There are too many rules in your territory. I’m afraid of being chased by them again!”

Wang Xiao laughed and asked with a serious expression, “Uncle Tang, why did you suddenly think of visiting my territory?”

“Actually, I have something to tell you.”

When Tang Longji talked about serious matters, his expression also became serious. “There’s some progress on the matter you asked me to investigate last time.” Wang Xiao’s eyes lit up. “You found the real Wu Yan?”

. Sort of.”

Tang Longji said in a strange tone, “According to the information of ‘Wu Yan’ and ‘Fire Mage’, I went to Blue Planet University and asked. There’s indeed a student called Wu Yan there, and he’s from the magic department.”

Wang Xiao clapped excitedly. “Isn’t that a match?”

Tang Longji’s expression became even stranger. “Yes, but the problem is that he died last week!”

“What?!”

Wang Xiao exclaimed, “Doesn’t that mean that the Purple Star lord we saw has already infiltrated the Blue Planet for at least a week?”

Tang Longji nodded. His expression suddenly became solemn. “He also didn’t come alone.” Wang Xiao frowned even more. “Are you sure?”

“…At least 70% ”

Tang Longji thought seriously for a moment before saying, “The results I found at Blue Planet University are that Wu Yan was surrounded and killed by a group of mutated beasts when he was exploring a [medium-sized secret realm].”

“However, I went to that secret realm later to take a look. Although the attacks of those mutated beasts are fierce, it’s not difficult for fire-element mages to deal with them. Unless…”

“Wu Yan had already lost the ability to fight at that time.”

Wang Xiao continued the second half of the sentence in a low voice. After a

pause, he said coldly, “To be able to think of using the mutated beasts in the secret realm, it means that the other party’s thoughts are quite meticulous. The opponent he met at that time was definitely not a scattered soldier!”

Tang Longji nodded in agreement. “I’ve already reported this situation to the Kaiyang Military District and used an anonymous method like you said. Actually, I don’t quite understand. It’s every Blue Planet lord’s responsibility to report the enemy’s situation. Why did I have to be anonymous?”

“Of course it’s to prevent our enemies from discovering us.”

Wang Xiao smiled faintly, but there was a hint of helplessness and bitterness in his smile. “Although I don’t have any evidence yet, I suspect that the Purple Star people have already infiltrated the military.”

Kaiyang City, military building.

Dressed in military attire and wearing a white coat, Turk slowly walked down the corridor of an underground level.

A moment later, Turk stopped in front of a door. Through the observation window on the door, he could see a young man tied to a hospital bed. This man’s eyes were fixed on the ceiling, and his lips moved slightly, as if he was muttering softly.

If Wang Xiao was here, he would recognize the crazy young man on the bed. He was the famous genius of the Kaiyang Academy, Tian Qiang!

At this moment.

Turk looked at Tian Qiang through the observation window and subconsciously smiled. “A genius has become a lunatic… Andu’s methods are really not bad.”

As he spoke, Turk took out a card and placed it on the door lock. Unexpectedly, there was a mismatched sound.

“Hm?”

Turk frowned and placed the card on another empty door. This time, it opened smoothly.

Looking at the small words “General Prison Unlock Card” on the front of the card, Turk’s eyes flickered, and a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart..
