C323 It Seems like I Was Mistaken Right
"Sure!" Shen Jingyi also nodded his head, but both of them had their gazes on Zhang Fan at the same time.
"Of course there's no problem," Zhang Fan said with a smile. He didn't want the five of them to be tense. Relaxing for the time being before the match might also be very effective.
Zhang Fan looked towards Liu Ruyan and said, "Let's go together."
At this time, the group of people also walked outside of the academy. Since the academy was considered extremely remote, they walked a long distance before arriving at the downtown area of the Kingdom of Fire and Dance. It was still the Pleasant Lounge Restaurant, and there was also a private room, so they sat down.
After the dishes were served, the few of them started to drink and chat. The atmosphere was quite harmonious.
While they were drinking, a servant walked up to them from within the Dongguo clan. "Patriarch, patriarch, someone is waiting in the main hall."
Dongguo Chen Ming paused for a moment, then looked at his son, Dongguo Mu Tian. "You go take a look, I'll head back first." With that, the old man walked in another direction.
Dongguo Mutian nodded slightly, then turned around and walked in the direction of the main hall with the old man. Dongguo Chengyan followed after him after some hesitation.
When they arrived at the lobby, a middle-aged man was sitting there.
Dongguo Mu Tian was stunned for a moment before his expression changed. He quickly said, "What? Your organization has already retrieved that item?"
"No!" The man shook his head gently and said smoothly, "I failed!"
He clenched his fists as he looked at the man and said, "Your organization's reputation is very good. Our Dong Guo family has chosen your organization to complete this mission, but are you telling me that the mission has failed?"
"I'm sorry, Master Dongguo. Our organization will compensate you for your losses." It was a middle-aged man, but he appeared to be extremely calm.
"How about compensation? I suspect that your organization has taken it for itself." Dongguo Mutian sneered.
"The leader of the Dongguo family was stunned, but soon after, his expression changed," Are you doubting the credibility of our organization? We've been investigating in the Tusk Mountains recently, and the people we sent have already died, so they were probably intercepted and killed by another group. We'll be conducting a detailed investigation on this matter, and if there's the latest news, we'll naturally notify you as well. "
Dongguo Mutian took a deep breath and let out a cold snort. He did not speak, but his face grew even darker as another group of people tried to kill him. If what they said was true, then wouldn't there be a traitor within their family?
"I'll give this map to you," the man said again. He took out a piece of paper from his pocket and placed it on the table, then said, "Regarding compensation, we will have a specialist come to settle it for you later. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first." With that, the man turned around and left.
"Father, what is it?" Dongguo's eyes were filled with curiosity. He walked up to a blueprint on the table after some hesitation. He opened it to take a look, and his suspicion was deepened.
This jade token belongs to the Dongguo Family. A long time ago, the Dongguo Family and several other families once discovered a ruin that they left behind, and it is said that this jade token was a key to the opening of the ancient ruins. However, it was lost in your grandfather's generation, and now I know that it was stolen by your grandfather's personal follower, so I let this organization track it down, but they did not succeed.
Dongguo was stunned, and the doubt in his eyes deepened. He asked, "Does grandpa know about this?"
"Your grandfather naturally knows about this as well!" Dongguo Mutian said plainly.
"So it's like that." Dongguo Yan nodded slightly, then asked curiously, "Father, do you know where the ruins are?"
"This … the clan has already begun to investigate!" Dongguo Mu Tian's eyes narrowed as he continued, "According to the information left by our ancestors, there seems to be a powerful weapon sealed within, and an extremely powerful magical beast. It is said that if we can help that magical beast break the seal, that magical beast will submit to us, and if our Dongguo Clan can get it, it will be beneficial for our entire clan."
Dongguo Chengyan's eyes lit up when he heard that, and his gaze once again landed on the blueprint. At that moment, he couldn't help but take a closer look, and it was also at that moment that he suddenly blanked out, disbelief written all over his face. With a trembling voice, he said, "Father, I think I've seen this before."
He was about to open his mouth, but then something came to his mind. When he was about to open his mouth, his expression suddenly changed, because he remembered that thing that was given to him, and he threw it out. If his father found out about it, he would be beaten to death.
Dongguo Mutian frowned. Then, without another word, he turned and left.
As for Dongguo Chengyan, he looked at the blueprint, and his eyes lit up. If he could get it back, then he would have made a great contribution to the family and would probably become the next head of the family.
Thinking of this, Guo Zhi rushed out again.
Meanwhile, Zhang Fan and the others, who had been hollering at the Elegant Luck Restaurant for the past four hours, finally walked out. Their heads were slightly dizzy, but they did not feel like they were being flippant like before.
At this moment, Liu Ruyan said that she wanted to go back. Zhang Fan did not hesitate and directly said, "Then I'll send it over for you."
"Is that alright?" Liu Ruyan couldn't help but ask.
"Of course there's no problem," Zhang Fan said with a smile.
"Forget it. You guys should go back and rest as well. I'll go back alone." Liu Ruyan's face was slightly flushed as she smiled.
"Alright, the five of us will send it to you as a gift," Qiu Qingyan said.
Zhang Fan couldn't help but roll his eyes at this guy. He drank the most … Shen Jingyi looked a bit more spirited.
"How about I send Miss Ruyan off with you? Let them return first," Yue Yi said at this moment. Because at this moment, the ones who were the most clear-headed were still Yue Yi and Yang Sixuan, because neither of them could drink much.
"Then that's fine too." Liu Ruyan blinked her eyes at this moment and nodded directly.
"Alright." Seeing that Liu Ruyan had spoken, Zhang Fan also nodded his head. He then looked towards Yang Sixuan and the others and said, "Then go back. Be careful on the road."
"Rest assured," Yang Sixuan nodded slightly. At this time, Zhang Fan and Yue Yi also sent Liu Ruyan in the direction of the Liu Family.
"Yiya!" At this moment, when Yi Ya saw Zhang Fan leave, she immediately spoke out anxiously, but she was stopped by Yang Sixuan. She then said, "Your brother went to send someone off, he'll be back soon. Be good and come back with big sister."
As for Zhang Fan and Yue Yi, Liu Ruyan, they headed back without saying much. When they reached the Liu Family, Liu Ruyan smiled and said, "Okay, I'm here too. You guys can go back. Be careful on the way."
"Okay, then rest early," Zhang Fan nodded.
"Got it." Liu Ruyan giggled and waved her hand at the two of them. After the two of them turned around, a strange expression appeared in her eyes. Then, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she walked inside.
It was as if they were both thinking about their own matters. After a long time, Zhang Fan raised his head and looked at the sky, and found it was still bright. He couldn't help but say, "Yue Yi, why don't we walk around here and go back?"
"Are you alright?" Yue Yi raised her head after hearing that.
"It's nothing," Zhang Fan replied with a smile.
"Mm, alright then," Yue Yi nodded as she followed Zhang Fan into the most lively street in the Fire Wu Empire.
The two of them walked back and forth on the street, as if they were walking through a street. They would look here and there, and finally, when they passed by a piece of jewelry, Zhang Fan started to hesitate, and Yue Yi was about to leave. He might buy something for her as a souvenir, but if he did, how would he say it?
But soon, he came up with another idea. He put a smile back on his face and stopped.
Yue Yi was stunned for a moment. A hint of doubt appeared in her eyes, but she noticed that when Zhang Fan looked up, a strange look flashed across her eyes. She then said, "Who are you buying this for, Xian'er or Miss Ruyan?"
0
"Hehe, let's take a look," Zhang Fan laughed, but then sighed and said to himself, "I don't know what to buy either. Brother Yue Yi, please take a look for me."
