Chapter 1300 Suspicion
"His reputation on Earth is no better than mine, so it's better not to mention his name." The Fourth Lord took out two boxes and placed them in front of Zhou Wen. He continued, "These two boxes contain a Lucky Elf and a Fear-level Black Bear Spirit respectively. You can take them anytime."
"Are you so sure that I will help you?" Zhou Wen looked at him and said.
The Fourth Lord smiled and said, "Why don't you help me? Because the person who made the bet with me is your teacher? Do you still want to recognize such a sinner?"
"Whether you recognize him or not has nothing to do with whether I help you or not." Zhou Wen said.
"Then you should help me even more. Aren't these what you want?" The Fourth Lord said, pointing to the two boxes.
Zhou Wen looked at the Fourth Lord with a strange expression, not understanding what he was thinking.
Zhou Wen naturally didn't want Wang Mingyuan to lose. Jing Daoxian, an experienced guy, must have known this, but he told Zhou Wen in advance that he was making a bet with Wang Mingyuan.
"Could it be that he doesn't really want me to pass the level? Or is it that the bet he made with the teacher is not as simple as passing the level?" Zhou Wensi thought about it, but couldn't figure it out.
"It's not as complicated as you think. It's just a bet. Even if you don't do it, someone else will. It's not that difficult to get on the list." said the Fourth Lord.
"What will happen if you win?" Zhou Wen asked with a frown.
"If I win, he will give me something to help me prolong my life," said the Fourth Lord.
Zhou Wen then remembered that Jingdaoxian had always had the problem of insufficient lifespan. He had previously wanted Bajiaoxian to help him refine medicine, but he had not come to Zhou Wen to talk about refining medicine in recent years. It was probably because he could not find enough materials.
"To do it or not?" the Fourth Lord asked again.
Zhou Wen was still a little hesitant. Just like Jing Daoxian said, it was not that difficult to just get on the list. Even if he didn't do it, with Jing Daoxian's ability, it was not impossible for him to find a few people to help him get on the list.
But even if someone else could help Jing Daoxian get on the list, that person shouldn't be Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen thought about it again: "What if I take Jing Daoxian's things but don't help him get on the list, and just delay the process?"
As if seeing through Zhou Wen's thoughts, the Fourth Lord said with a half-smile: "If you want something, you can take it away at any time. It doesn't matter whether the matter is done or not."
Zhou Wen was slightly startled: "What do you mean?"
"I've given you the thing, it's yours, you can keep it or throw it away. There are still two months and eight days left before the bet expires. My people are in Luyue Lane, waiting for you for two months and eight days. You can come if you want, or not come if you don't want to." After the Fourth Lord said this, he turned around and left.
"What do you mean?" Zhou Wen looked at the back of the Fourth Lord, not knowing what he wanted to do.
The Fourth Lord ignored him, returned to the boat, and ordered the boat to leave Dosili Island.
Zhou Wen looked at the two boxes in front of him and wondered if Jing Daoxian had placed a bomb inside, which was why he was in such a hurry to leave.
However, such a box was no different from a transparent one in front of Zhou Wen. After listening carefully, he knew that there was indeed a necklace and a companion egg inside, but no bomb.
That necklace should be the goddess of luck necklace. There is a seal on it, and it seems that it was forcibly peeled off from the original owner by some method.
There is also a card under the necklace, which contains the method for renewing the contract.
The companion pet in the other box was a black ball of fur. Jing Daoxian said it was a black bear spirit. Zhou Wen didn't know what the attribute of the companion pet was, but from the aura emitted by the companion egg itself, he knew that it was definitely not a low-level item.
"Could it be that Jing Daoxian is lying? The content of their bet is not about whether or not I can make the list, but it is related to me? If I choose not to go, will the teacher lose?" Zhou Wen couldn't help but doubt it. This matter was too weird.
Who was Jing Daoxian? The Federation's greatest villain, was he someone willing to suffer a loss? Now he had casually given Zhou Wen two such precious items, and even said it was up to Zhou Wen to do it or not. This was completely unreasonable.
But on the other hand, this might be a trap set by Jing Daoxian, deliberately making him overthink things, just to take advantage of his psychology.
"It would be great if I could meet the teacher. At least I could find out whether the teacher made a bet with Jing Daoxian." Zhou Wen was made suspicious by Jing Daoxian. He suspected that the person who made a bet with Jing Daoxian might not be Wang Mingyuan at all.
Jing Daoxian might have said this on purpose to make Zhou Wen feel conflicted and thus achieve his goal.
Zhou Wen thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he simply put away the Goddess of Luck necklace and the companion egg.
"The stuff must be good. There won't be any problem if I take it. I'll think about other things slowly." After Zhou Wen put away the things, he turned around and went to the dimensional field on Asili Island.
After walking around the island and killing many avian dimensional creatures, Zhou Wen did not see the lucky bird or the small hand pattern, so he could only go back in disappointment.
On the way back, Zhou Wen kept thinking about Jing Daoxian. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. It didn't make sense that Jing Daoxian gave him such a big benefit for no reason.
"Could it be that there is something wrong with these two companion pets themselves?" Zhou Wen took out the Goddess of Luck necklace and the Black Bear Companion Egg again, and studied them carefully for a long time, but did not find any problems.
"This is really strange. Did Jing Daoxian suddenly change his personality?" Zhou Wen felt that this was unreliable.
"Liuyun, do you know who the Fourth Lord is?" Zhou Wen sent a message to Liuyun, wanting to find out whether Liuyun knew the truth of the matter.
"The Fourth Lord is the Fourth Lord. What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Liuyun replied quickly.
"Nothing." Zhou Wen didn't ask any more questions.
If Jing Daoxian didn't want people to know it was him, it was normal for Liuyun not to be able to tell. Even Zhou Wen didn't realize it at first. It was only when Jing Daoxian deliberately used his own voice that Zhou Wen could hear it.
"What happened? Are you okay?" Liuyun sent another message.
"It's okay. Let's put the matter of the Fourth Lord aside for now. I'll let you know when I need to do it later." Zhou Wen thought for a moment and sent another message: "Have you any way to contact the teacher?"
"No...you might as well go ask Zhong Ziya, maybe he has a solution." Liuyun replied.
"Got it." Zhou Wen opened the address book, found Zhong Ziya's, and sent a message: "Is there any way to contact the teacher?"
"No." Zhong Ziya responded surprisingly quickly, just two simple words, nothing else.
Zhou Wen sent the same message to Hui Haifeng and Jiang Yan. Hui Haifeng said that he had not seen Wang Mingyuan since the incident in the Holy City.
Jiang Yanze has not replied to the message, and no one knows how he is doing now.
Good night, I will make up for the two chapters I missed yesterday tomorrow.
