It was obvious that Li and Zhou were in urgent need of rest, so Chen Xiao and his group said goodbye and returned to Tangyan Street.
Seeing that his hand was healed, Du Rong, who was unaware of the inside story, happily congratulated Chen Xiao.
Xiao Ba hadn't seen him for two days and came over to bother him.
Fortunately, the lamb was easy to soothe. Chen Xiao rubbed its head vigorously and stroked its fur. The satisfied Xiao Ba then happily went off to play by himself.
A lamb of this age is just in the mood for happiness after having enough food and drink. It doesn't notice any atmosphere at all and is particularly heartless.
When they arrived at the living room, Liu Lang couldn't wait to sit down and asked, "When do you plan to go to the Mechanical Island?"
Chen Xiao looked at him and said, "Do you know this mechanical island?"
Liu Lang nodded and said, "The atmosphere and environment of Taizhen Zhongtian Realm attract many mechanical masters. Every once in a while, these mechanical masters will gather together to hold a large-scale Dharma Assembly. The main purpose is to exchange knowledge and resources, and the other is to select new mechanical masters. They hold the Dharma Assembly on an island, and later this island was called the Mechanical Island."
Chen Xiao seemed to be thinking about something. Xi Yunting looked at him and said, "Now is the right time to go. There must be a master of machinery on the machinery island. It should be easy to deal with Brother Xiao's hand."
Chen Xiao smiled and said, "I thought, since so many mechanical engineers will be there, Nuonuo should be there too."
Xi Yunting nodded and said, "If we can meet him, please ask him to introduce a master to us."
So with just a few words, the few of them decided to go to the Mechanical Island.
This time, Chen Xiao didn't plan to let Liu Lang go with him.
There are too many things accumulated in Tangyan Street, so he plans to let Liu Lang stay and cooperate with Du Rong to deal with the simple problems that can be handled first.
Under Chen Xiao's high pressure, Liu Lang had a good foundation and had practical experience. Du Rong had witnessed it many times with him. With Du Rong's help, Liu Lang should be able to solve some Feng Shui orders that were not too problematic.
Chen Xiao plans to hand over the Feng Shui affairs from Du Rong to Liu Lang in the future, so that Du Rong can concentrate on managing the affairs inside and outside the Chen residence.
Liu Lang felt sorry that he couldn't go to the Mechanical Island with Chen Xiao. But thinking about the Feng Shui list he would soon be able to deal with made him excited and look forward to it.
He asked: "Teacher, are you going to take Xiao Ba with you this time?"
Chen Xiao hesitated for a moment. In fact, it would be a good idea to terminate the contract with Xiao Ba from now on and let it live comfortably in Tangyan Street from then on.
But Xiao Ba is too attached to him now. If the contract is terminated suddenly, Xiao Ba will definitely make a fuss if he can't see him. It's better to wait for a while, until Xiao Ba's mind is more mature and can adapt to this place, and then terminate the contract.
Chen Xiao said, "Forget it this time. If Xiao Ba can't see me, he will definitely make a fuss, and you won't be able to appease him."
Xiao Ba was seasick, so before going to the dock, he was first sent into the sea of consciousness.
There is only one boat trip to the Machinery Island a day. The boat is an ordinary sea vessel. Because the voyage is short, only one day, in order to accommodate more passengers, there are no luxury rooms.
Chen Xiao and two other friends booked a four-person room and chatted all the way until they reached the Mechanical Island.
The terrain of the Mechanical Island is quite unique. Looking down from the air, it looks like a huge bowl placed in the water.
Chen Xiao guessed that some powerful people must have fought here a long time ago, which formed this island that looked like a huge crater caused by a meteorite impact.
The surrounding craters are dozens of meters above sea level. Beyond the craters, there is a gentle slope with a very obvious curvature. The central area is a large flat land. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can see densely packed buildings.
At this time, the Mechanical Island was crowded with people. In addition to mechanical engineers, there were also businessmen and practitioners who came to trade.
The businessmen wanted to purchase organs and sell them to other realms, while the practitioners wanted to sell the materials at a good price.
Chen Xiao didn't expect that there were so many people on the Mechanical Island. He couldn't help but feel distressed: "How can I find Tong Nuonuo?"
Xi Yunting didn't have any good ideas for the time being. There was no Zhishitang here, otherwise he could have posted a task.
Jing Hui made a suggestion: "Do you know who Tong Nuonuo's master is? It's easier to find out about his master at this time than to find out about a foundation-building stage mechanical master."
Chen Xiao said: "Nono did mention it once, but I didn't remember it..."
Xi Yunting suddenly said, "Tong Daoyou's master's name is Dou Sun, also known as Quezhai Sanren, and he is a master of mechanical devices."
Chen Xiao immediately looked at him with admiration, "Brother, you have a really good memory. I remember Nuonuo mentioned it once! And it was several years ago."
Xi Yunting slightly curled the corners of his lips, but Jing Hui ruined the atmosphere by saying, "When you reach Nascent Soul stage, your memory will be greatly improved. Although I can't say that you have a photographic memory, you will not easily forget things that happened in the past ten years."
Xi Yunting's mouth drooped and he looked at Jing Hui expressionlessly, wanting very much to end his friendship with her.
Chen Xiao hurriedly said, "Then let's split up and go find out, and meet up here in an hour."
He was really afraid that Xi Yunting would lose control and chop Jing Hui to death with the Xuefeng heavy sword.
So the three of them split up into three directions. Chen Xiao walked towards the east, and when he came across an inn he went in to ask.
There are many hotels on the Mechanical Island. Chen Xiao asked more than ten hotels but couldn't find one.
Arriving at another store, Chen Xiao asked the clerk behind the counter, "Excuse me, does Quezhai Sanren live here?"
"Our store doesn't have this customer. Please ask somewhere else." The clerk replied politely.
Chen Xiao was feeling frustrated when he heard a voice from outside: "Who's looking for me?"
This voice is quite distinctive, with a high pitch, a little hoarseness and nasal tone, which makes it very recognizable.
Chen Xiao turned his head quickly and saw a short man standing on the street outside the store. He had a high bun and a hair crown that was at least 20 centimeters high. He looked to be in his forties.
"Are you Quezhai Sanren?" Chen Xiao asked tentatively.
"That's right, who are you? What do you want from me?" Quezhai Sanren looked at Chen Xiao in confusion.
Chen Xiao walked out of the store quickly and said thankfully, "It's great to meet you here, Sanren. My name is Chen Xiao, and I'm Nuonuo's friend."
Quezhai Sanren suddenly realized, "So you are Chen Xiao! I have mentioned to me many times that I was very grateful for your care during my training abroad."
Chen Xiao smiled embarrassedly: "Nono has helped me a lot." Then he turned his head and looked around, "Why don't I see him? Isn't he with you?"
Quezhai Sanren showed an expression as if he had seen a savior. He said, "I was looking for him too. You came just in time!" He took out a small round card and stuffed it into Chen Xiao's hand. "Take this. That idiot Nuonuo lost himself again. I didn't catch him. I have to hurry to the competition venue. It's my turn to be a judge today. You should also find him quickly. He is also one of the contestants who will participate in the selection today."
"I'll leave this to you! Please make sure to find him. I'll try to find a way to move him to the back."
After saying this, Quezhai Sanren turned around and walked away quickly, leaving Chen Xiao alone and confused.
What’s going on? Why is the situation so urgent right from the start?
