Chapter 184: Chapter 183: No matter the amount, I can eat it all

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 time...

Who could have known that this shop in the bustling resource area was actually hers?

Soon enough.

They had reached an agreement.

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 government’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 someone 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 time 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 times a month, which means he will inconveniently trouble you two or three times, 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 mention his volume 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 become ’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 time. Although her abilities were pretty strong, she had just enrolled and already became 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 times 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 someone 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 blame someone, blame 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 method to force him out."

"So that’s how it is."

Xu Lingjun thought, no wonder Li Jingjun seemed hesitant when she came to pick up Pang Hu before, yet ended up saying nothing.

Clearly, it was a scheme targeting him; she was worried that once he knew the truth, he’d rush over for vengeance.

Unexpectedly, the other party is tarnishing my name... 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 meaningful 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 come after just one visit, everyone around me 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 methods to investigate his identity.

This somewhat 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 someone 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 same mask, it might be fine short-term, but in the long-term, you’re prone to targeting. Do you follow me?"

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 time 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 someone 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 me, it makes me 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 time.

"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 me this time. 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 meaning.

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 me 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 immediately delighted.
