Chapter 24 24. Transaction

"Xia Feng."

A male voice with a low, bubbling tone spoke condescendingly. Xia Feng scooped a mouthful of egg custard into his mouth and raised his eyes. "What's the matter? Tell me."

He had met the elegant fat man named Panda several times, but today was the first time he met Yan Xujia.

Yan Xujia couldn't help but frown when he saw that this guy had no intention of stopping eating, but instead had the attitude of a big boss listening to reports from his subordinates.

Putting his hand on the chair, Yan Xujia smiled on his handsome face: "Can I sit here?"

Xia Feng glanced at him and was about to speak when Yan Xujia pulled out a chair and sat down.

The surroundings were very quiet, and Yan Xujia's arrival drew the attention of almost everyone in the restaurant to the small dining table.

Mushroom couldn't stand the panic of being the center of attention, and his little hands subconsciously grabbed Xia Feng's clothes under the table.

Yan Xujia casually set up a soundproof screen around him and said with a faint smile: "Xia Feng, don't be nervous. I'm here today just to make a deal with you."

"Deal?" Xia Feng was excited when he heard this and understood instantly, "You want me to stay away from your goddess? Okay, I understand. Ten million, and I promise not to say bad things about you to your goddess."

"." Yan Xujia was about to open his mouth but choked back the words. After choking for three full seconds, he said in a deep voice, "I want more than just these—"

"Oh? What else do you want?" Xia Feng frowned.

Yan Xujia took a deep breath, regained the initiative, and knocked on the table and said calmly: "Xia Feng, you may not know the content of the Saint Maiden Trial. Let me tell you this, the four candidate Saint Maidens——"

"I know that. Stop talking nonsense and just tell me your conclusion." Xia Feng interrupted with a frown.

"." Yan Xujia choked again, wondering how this guy knew everything?!

But that's fine, it saves me the trouble of explaining. He crossed his fingers, placed his arms on the table, and looked calmly, "Since you already know, I won't waste any more words. Naxue chose to practice 'Lonely Moon', so naturally she needs to minimize the number of ties, and the best way to do that is death."

Yan Xujia smiled playfully, "But it's obvious that we can't really kill you, right~"

Panda warned him not to assassinate Xia Feng again, but did not say that he could not do anything else.

"So, I've come up with a safe solution, and this solution requires your help, Xia Feng."

Yan Xujia's lips curled up strangely, but his tone was sincere, "For the sake of our past friendship, I believe that Junior Xia is willing to make a small sacrifice for Naxue's future~"

Although he was complaining in his heart, Xia Feng still nodded with a smile: "Okay, I am the most innocent, simple and kind person. Tell me and I will see if I can help."

"Don't worry, it's not a difficult thing."

Yan Xujia smiled broadly, "I just need you to agree to two conditions."

"Um?"

"First, hand over the pocket watch Naxue gave you. Second, agree to go to the Northern Territory and not leave the Northern Territory for ten years."

"And as compensation, I can help you write a letter of recommendation for joining the Marquisate of Dongbo, so that you can become a glorious knight of the Marquisate."

".?" Xia Feng paused with the spoon he was using to scoop up the egg custard. He looked up and remained silent for a long time. Only one capital 6 came to his mind: This guy couldn't be a fool.

The Empire and the Evil Tribe have been fighting for thousands of years, and there are two border areas, namely the Northern Border (District 49) and the Southern Border (District 13).

These two places cannot be said to be messy, they can only be said to be extremely messy.

The northern border has been fine in recent years and has been quite peaceful, but the southern border is terrible. I wouldn’t say there’s a war every day, but I can only say there’s a war every second.

Xia Feng was a seasoned slacker who would rather sit than lie down. So why was he asked to leave Area 51? He was dreaming! Not to mention the northern border, a place where war could break out again at any moment.

As for the pocket watch, this thing was a token of love that Chanayuki exchanged with him when they were young, and Chanayuki also had one of his in her hand.

"Well, this deal is fair, isn't it?"

Yan Xujia smiled faintly and said, "You don't need to die physically. As long as you die from the Master's life and gradually fade away, the constraints of the ties on the Master's cultivation will naturally be weakened."

Seeing Xia Feng still leisurely eating the egg custard and ignoring him, Yan Xujia frowned, shook his head and continued,

"Looking at you like this, I guess you still don't understand the meaning of being a knight of the Dongbo Marquis' territory."

As he said this, he gestured with his hand behind him.

"Please introduce yourselves to this little brother."

Seeing this, the seven or eight young men who were blocking the sunset light in the back took a step forward with their chest straightened. They looked at Xia Feng with a confident smile, "My name is Rhodes, a Marquis of the Holy Light Knight, with three stars of honor and merit, and the rank of Major. My father is the commander of the Third Legion of the Northern Territory."

After saying this, he also straightened his back and took a step back, standing in the sun, standing straight from beginning to end.

The tall, thin man beside him stepped out immediately after him, his tone calm, as if he was talking about an ordinary matter: "Huo Yisen, a Marquisate Knight of the Holy Light, with five stars of honor and merit, and has been awarded the rank of Colonel. He is twenty-five years old this year."

"My name is Xi Jia, a Marquis of Silver Knight, with a two-star Merit and Glory. My father is Earl Schiller, and my mother is the president of the Azure Sky Chamber of Commerce. I have over 100 million in personal assets."

"." Xia Feng listened silently, and inexplicably felt a sense of powerlessness and complaining, like elementary school students competing with each other.

"Qiu Li, Marquis of the Holy Light Knight, four-star honor, father."

There were eight people in total, and each one of them introduced themselves with either pride or indifference. Xia Feng's eyes twitched as he listened. Are these people talking to me?

Showing off?

But it is true that they do have the capital to show off, after all, they are all sons of aristocrats.

"Let me tell you another secret. I'm actually the second son of the Marquis of Dongbo!" Yan Xujia chuckled. "Now do you understand? If you become a knight of my Dongbo Territory, you will have the fastest path to promotion and even the chance to earn a title. You will also gain the friendship of our northern nobles. Your future is bright."

Xia Feng didn't know whether it was bright or not, but this deal was pretty stupid.

Seeing Xia Feng frowning, not knowing what he was thinking about, Yan Xujia lost his patience. "If you're worried about the engagement with the Mu family, you don't have to worry. The head of the Mu family is just a small viscount. I have plenty of ways to get Miss Mu to go to the Northern Territory with you."

As he spoke, he straightened his collar and stood up calmly, looking down at him. "So, Xia Feng, you have no objection to this deal, right?"

He and the eight tall knights behind him just stared at Xia Feng quietly, all eighteen eyes showing the same indifference.

silence.

The soundproof screen had been removed long ago, and although the students in the bustling restaurant didn't know what happened at the beginning, they still heard the following few sharp words.

A strange and oppressive atmosphere quietly spread.

They subconsciously held their breath and focused their eyes on the black-haired boy in the middle who was quietly eating egg custard.

Xia Feng threw the spoon into the bowl: "Honestly, Yan Xujia, I have a question."

"What?"

Xia Feng smiled and leaned back: "Does your tea goddess know that you're such a lickspittle?"

Yan Xujia's expression stiffened slightly, and he said in a bad tone, "I'm not a bootlicker!"

Xia Feng smiled but said nothing. He knew that Chanaxue's three guardian knights all had great nobles behind them. Yin and Panda's positions were basically stable. Only Yan Xujia was almost expelled by Chanaxue several times.

And every time, Yan Xujia would take out a lot of resources from the family to give to Cha Naixue, in order to ask for a chance to make amends and not remove his position.

Based on Xia Feng's understanding of this profit-oriented woman, she would discard useless things and discard useful things after they were used up.

If Yan Xujia cannot become the heir and cannot become as valuable as Yin and Panda, he will sooner or later be completely abandoned when he has no resources to use.

While thinking, Xia Feng raised his eyes and knocked on the table: "Let me put it this way, now it's not a question of whether I have any objections or not, but a question of whether your condition is valid or not."
