Chapter 322: Old Man Bai’s Anger (2/2)

”Well then, Master Murong,” he turned towards Murong Jing. ”You assisted me just now, so I guess I should show you some gratitude. Why don't you join us for our meal?”

Although he originally had not planned on eating with Murong Jing, this man had shown genuine concern for him, and thus he felt that he ought to return the favor.

Murong Jing was taken by surprise. He had never thought that Xue Wei would invite him for a meal, and his eyes were filled with excitement. He had never thought that the appearance of Old Man Bai would indirectly help him like this.

Cupping his fists, Murong Jing quickly nodded his head and said: ”thank you so much for your invitation. I would be very honored to share a meal with you and your companions.”

Smiling, Xue Wei then took Luoluo's hand and together with the others they walked towards the restaurant that had a picture of a turtle on the door.

Bai Tianyi, Lin Xiao, Xue Wei, and Hei Gou had not actually participated in the drama that took place just before. Although Xue Wei had been the main character, he had not really said anything, and Murong Jing and Old Man Bai had handled everything.

When they reached the restaurant, a waitress came to greet them. Unlike the other restaurant, here, the waitress was immensely respectful.

”My lords, would you like to dine on the floor or have a private room?” she asked humbly, and Xue Wei instantly picked a private room for them.

Xue Wei and the others were led to a room on the upper floor of the restaurant. As they reached it, they found that it was a VIP room; it was big and magnificent. The floor was filled with cushions, and the table was of the most excellent wood that could be found in the entire Sea of the Enchanted.

When they sat down, the waitress gave Xue Wei and the others a menu, and when Xue Wei looked at it, he was surprised to see that all the seafood was much cheaper than the other dishes.

Still, he had lived of seafood for a very long time, and he wanted to eat something else, so he casually ordered a bit of everything. The things he ordered added up to a full seven thousand low-grade essence stones.

After the dishes, Xue Wei also ordered spirit wines and juices. The juices were for Luoluo. She was not allowed to drink wine at her age, but the rest of them had to enjoy the wine to the fullest.

Xue Wei looked at Murong Jing, who had spent some time observing the friends. Murong Jing had noticed how seamless the actions were between Xue Wei and the others.

It was evident that these five people had spent a lot of time together. They were so used to each other that their every gesture showed their connections.

”I am wondering where you come from?” Murong Jing suddenly asked, and Xue Wei honestly gave a reply.

”We come from Chang'an, however right now we are traveling with the ambassadors from Yan Dalu and the Demon Phoenix Continent.”

”I see,” Murong Jing nodded his head and considered for some time what exactly Xue Wei had said. He knew of Yan Dalu and the Demon Phoenix Continent, but he had never heard about the continent named Chang'an before.

Xue Wei did not care much about his thoughts. Not many knew of Chang'an, even Chang'an was unaware of the other continents, so it was clearly wholly isolated from the rest of the world.

”Well then, how many rainbow pills is it you want?” Xue Wei suddenly asked. ”Do you want both one-colored rainbow pills or also two-colored rainbow pills?”

Murong Jing was taken by surprise when he heard Xue Wei's question. Was he considering helping them with the pills? His heartbeat suddenly beat faster, and he was excited.

”I can tell you a bit of information before you decide,” Xue Wei continued. ”I am rather new to two-colored rainbow pills,” he explained.

”Because of this, I only have around fifty percent success rate of the two-colored rainbow pills, so be aware that some of the materials will be lost.

”At the same time, my success-rate for one-colored rainbow pills are around ninety percent; I cannot promise you that I will make all ingredients into pills.”

Murong Jing was shocked. ”What... What do you want in return for creating these pills for me?” He asked while looking worriedly at Xue Wei.

Xue Wei mused for some time. He did not need new resources; he already had all he needed.

”I need you to kill Old Man Bai,” Xue Wei said as a cold gleam appeared in his eyes. Murong Jing was surprised when he heard the words spoken by Xue Wei.

He would never have expected that he would make such a request. Old Man Bai was someone that they had to respect, but since he was merely an Ordinary Saint, he was killable for Murong Jing if he exposed a few of his ace attacks.

”I am not saying you have to do it on your own,” Xue Wei suddenly said. ”I imagine that you have some friendly families. If they assist in killing Old Man Bai, I will help you and your friends concoct pills.”

Murong Bai was shocked, but then his eyes shone with excitement and happiness.

He had some comrades amongst the leading families of Treasure Island, and to be able to enhance their strength would not be a wrong decision.

”Thank you!” he said excitedly. So what if he, a revered expert of the Treasure Island, was to become a hitman? The price was worth it.

Xue Wei was surprised when he saw how easily Murong Jing made a decision. But he was pleased with it. He could not afford to let Old Man Bai pose a threat to him and his family.
