Chapter 412: Whether It’s a Blessing or a Disaster, It Can ‘t

Be Avoided

Seeing Huang Tingwei’s obvious shameless appearance, Wang Xiao knew that there was no need to continue chatting.

Even if Huang Tingwei answered some questions, he would definitely bring up unimportant details. He would most likely not address the core questions. Otherwise, he would not have said things like “Thinking too much will harm you.”

However, this situation was also within Wang Xiao’s expectations. After all, even if these three seniors fell out with each other previously, they had to keep it a secret. If Huang Tingwei casually confessed, Wang Xiao would not easily believe him.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiao immediately stood up from his chair. “Since we have to be vigilant, it means that this school exchange is not that safe. My previous guess was right. I’ll continue to investigate in this direction.”

“I advise you not to.”

Huang Tingwei looked at Wang Xiao with a strange expression. After hesitating for a moment, he whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “You still remember Turk, right? He’s dead.”

Wang Xiao was stunned when he heard this. “What kind of hint is this? Isn’t he long dead?”

Huang Tingwei shook his head slightly with a subtle gaze. “He only died last night.”

“Last night?”

Wang Xiao was stunned again when he heard this, but his expression quickly changed because he suddenly realized how much information Huang Tingwei was hiding!

Their gazes met in the air, and Wang Xiao’s expression darkened at a visible speed.

However, this time, Wang Xiao did not continue to ask or verify anything. If things were really as he imagined, this was no longer something one or two people, or even one or two military districts, could handle!

After nearly five minutes of silence, Wang Xiao gradually recovered from his shock and bowed deeply to Huang Tingwei. “I understand. Thank you for informing me.”

“I’m glad you get it.”

Huang Tingwei smiled subtly. Without waiting for Wang Xiao to speak, he waved his hand and said, “If there’s nothing else, go back and prepare first. It’s also a serious matter to complete the school exchange.”

“Then I’ll leave first. Goodbye, Academy Head.”

Wang Xiao bowed again and bade farewell. Then, he turned around and left the office.

Watching Wang Xiao’s back disappear at the door, Huang Tingwei suddenly sighed and muttered softly as if he regretted it, “I think I’ve said too much… I wonder if Commander Chen will blame me?”

At the same time, outside the office.

As soon as Wang Xiao went out, he saw Zhou Xiruo waiting in the corridor, but Yi Han and Xu Junrou had disappeared.

“You’re still here?”

Wang Xiao casually asked as he walked forward and adjusted his expression.

“Where are Yi Han and Xu Junrou?”

“They went to upgrade their [Lord Cores].”

Zhou Xiruo spread her hands in envy and replied, “In the past, I only heard that they explored many secret realms. It’s only now that I have some idea of what they did. They can even gather two sets of upgrade resources. How many secret realms have they explored?!”

“I don’t know the exact number, but they’ve always done things with a purpose.”

Wang Xiao smiled bitterly and paused before changing the topic. “But it doesn’t matter. At the latest, I’ll be able to obtain the resources to advance by four levels tomorrow night. At that time, I’ll help you collect them with half the effort.”

Zhou Xiruo could not help but be touched when she heard this. However, after thinking about it, she still shook her head. “It’s better for you to prepare the resources to rise up to level five first. Otherwise, that mirror will always be in our territory. I keep feeling a little uneasy.”

“…Alright.”

Wang Xiao rolled his eyes and nodded in agreement. “Then I’ll help you collect resources to level up after I reach level five!”

Zhou Xiruo smiled sweetly and was about to speak when a crisp ringtone suddenly sounded.

Wang Xiao took out his communicator and saw that it was a call from Lin Xiang. He immediately pressed the answer button and placed it to his ear. “Manager Lin, what’s…”

“Brother Wang! Do you have time now?”

Before Wang Xiao could finish, Lin Xiang hurriedly asked a question, but after half a second, he corrected himself and said, “Forget it! Regardless of whether you have time or not, come to the shop immediately!”

Hearing the anxiety in Lin Xiang’s tone, Wang Xiao could not help but be puzzled. “Why are you in such a hurry? Is there a problem with that batch of resources?”

“No, I… Well! I can’t explain it in a few words. Come over quickly!”

After saying that, Lin Xiang directly hung up, not giving Wang Xiao a chance to ask again.

Wang Xiao was stunned for a few seconds as he held the communicator. Suddenly, a bad thought surfaced in his mind. “Could it be that Liu Yingying was discovered?”

After thinking about it again, Wang Xiao felt that it was not impossible. After all, it would be strange if the Lord’s Shop did not notice anything!

However, the problem was that even if they discovered that Liu Yingying had secretly run away, why would they look for him? Was it because of the previous conflict? Or did someone recognize Liu Yingying and secretly tell the Lord’s Shop?

For a moment, countless guesses popped up in Wang Xiao’s mind, but he also knew that there was no point in thinking about this now. If he wanted to know the exact situation, he could just go over and ask.

After all, Wang Xiao had not kidnapped her or even kindly sent her to Qin Kaiyang. Even if it was really because of this, the Lord’s Shop could not find a reason to vent their anger on him.

Half an hour later, Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo arrived at the Lord’s Shop. However, before they could enter, they were shocked by the scene inside. The entire first floor could almost be described as “crowded”. At a rough glance, there were at least two to three hundred people. Moreover, even the stairs were filled with people. It could be seen that the situation upstairs was similar.

However, strangely, these people did not seem to be here to buy anything. They did not even look at the various goods in the display cabinet. They only restrained their energy aura to the extreme and stood there silently without moving.

“Wang Xiao, you seem to have really guessed correctly…”

Zhou Xiruo went to Wang Xiao’s side and whispered. Her beautiful face was slightly pale. “These people are not weak. They’re most likely here to welcome Liu Yingying.”

Wang Xiao smacked his lips and did not say anything. Although he felt that he was not responsible for this matter, he could not help but feel a little guilty when he saw this scene with his own eyes.

After taking a few deep breaths, Wang Xiao finally forced himself to calm down. He held Zhou Xiruo’s hand and said in a low voice, “It’s a blessing, not a disaster. If it’s a disaster, we can’t avoid it… Let’s go! Let’s go meet them!”

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Xiao pushed open the door of the shop. Almost instantly, hundreds of sharp gazes looked over.

“I’m sorry, this place is closed today. Please come again another day.”

The middle- aged man closest to the door said coldly. Although his face was cold and expressionless, his tone was still relatively polite.

This made Wang Xiao relax a little. He pursed his lips and said, “I’m not here buy anything. My name is Wang Xiao. Manager Lin invited me…”

Before Wang Xiao could finish speaking, he suddenly paused because he realized that after he said his name, the way these people looked at him was clearly a little strange…
