Chapter 420 (1/2)
Soon after, the merchant team set out on the road and sped towards Jiming mountain.
Xue Jiayi was restless on the horse. When he was anxious, Shang Chenyang caught up with them and walked with a bridle. His face looked very heavy.
Luo Xiyan hurriedly asked, ”why? Brother Hua's situation is not good?”
Shang Chenyang stared at Xue Jiayi and smiled: ”you scared me. They all said it was on me.” then he looked solemn: ”but, a good news, a bad news, which do you want to hear first?”
”Of course it's good news.” Luo Xiyan said.
”Let's talk about the bad first,” Xue Jiayi said.
”I'd better say good things first to calm your heart.”
”The good news is that Hua Lanting's injury is not as serious as expected. His Yuanshen is slightly damaged. It is mainly because of excessive fatigue, so he has entered a dormant state of self-protection. Without external intervention, he needs a long sleep and rest.”
”Since he is a child of my merchant's platinum surname, my father specially allowed him to use a rare pill he kept for emergencies. I believe brother Hua will wake up soon.”
”The bad news is not too bad. According to my family's powerful doctor, the spirit of the Hua brothers is like a stretched rubber band. Although the pill can quickly restore the rubber band to its original state, the internal elasticity of the rubber band cannot be repaired as usual in a short time.”
”I mean, when we wake up, the combat effectiveness of the Chinese brothers is basically intact, that is, they may be confused for a period of time. They don't match their forewords, ask questions and answer questions. They have an abnormal response to external stimuli, sometimes sober and sometimes stunned. We need to be psychologically prepared and take more care of them, and we will fully recover in time.”
Luo Xiyan breathed a sigh of relief: ”it's good to wake up. We brothers, I won't say more words of thanks.”
Xue Jiayi said, ”thank you very much. In this case, we have to stay with him. We can't let him act alone until he is completely well or handed over to the free Vientiane gate.”
Shang Chenyang said, ”well, I happen to have something to discuss with you.”
”Brother Yang, please.”
”What do you think of the birth of Yibao?” asked Shang Chenyang.
Luo Xiyan hesitated and asked, ”what do Lord Shang Si and you want to do?”
Shang Chenyang pretended to be sad: ”Alas, my father insisted that I take people to look for treasure in person. You know I'm used to being carefree. I really don't want to take this risk. The process of seizing treasure must be extremely fierce and dangerous.”
Luo Xiyan said, ”Lord Si has only one son. Is he really willing to let you take risks?”
”Father, he can't help it. The job of the trading conference just falls on us. Who let us catch up? The responsibility is one of them.”
”Second, my brother won't hide it from you. My father is so strong. Although I can't compare with Chenzhao and Chenxi, as the legitimate son of the merchant, I can't fail to take responsibility and performance. In order to make my uncle pay more attention to it, I can have more voice in the merchant in the future. Frankly, I can get more power and interests. I can't shrink behind, but can only go up.”
Shang Chenyang's words are sincere and reasonable. Luo Xiyan naturally knows that the children of the aristocratic family look beautiful, but in fact, the pressure of competition is great.
Shang Chenyang continued: ”fortunately, my father also explained. It depends on the specific situation. Of course, it's good to have a harvest. If the situation is really dangerous, you don't have to fight for your life, but it's inescapable to take a trip and make a full appearance.”
”That's OK,” Luo Xiyan asked. ”What do you need to discuss with us?”
”The news from the front has been tested by some people. The rules of the treasure hiding place are different from those in the past. Xuanzhu and the great powers in the above realm can't enter. They are forced back by coercion. Only the unborn realm and the following monks can enter.”
”And you know, according to the experience of previous disasters, not all the real top talents are willing to take the lead. They prefer to participate in the second and subsequent competition after the treasure house is opened, and be the one who laughs the last. The competition behind is often more tragic than the first one.”
Luo Xiyan nodded, ”I see. In this way, the unborn state is the strongest force to enter. Other people are of little use if they have more.”
”That's good. This time, we have brought a lot of talents to the merchants to participate in the trading conference, but there are some deficiencies in the unborn realm experts. There are only four of them, including me...”
”Do you want miss Xue and I to accompany you in?”
”One more person and one more strength. You are doomed to be unable to run away. Miss Xue is the first time we meet, and I dare not insist.” Shang Chenyang is trying to get something.
Xue Jiayi didn't reply immediately. After considering it, he said, ”I really don't have much interest in the treasure, but according to my temperament, this once-in-a-thousand-year excitement wants to be mixed. I can't go. Yu Qing, the merchant saved my friend, and brother Luo also went. It's not appropriate for me to stay out of the matter.”
Shang Chenyang said happily, ”so, Miss Xue agreed?”
”What about Hua Lanting? I think you'd better forget it. Besides, you just said you can't leave brother Hua alone.” Luo Xiyan disagreed.
”I didn't say I must go. When LAN Ting wakes up, ask him what he thinks before deciding. Indeed, it's not good to leave him alone, but it's also inappropriate to take him.”
