President Yue looked puzzled and stammered as he spoke.
"Well, you'll understand when you see it."
Qin Xiao frowned. What did this mean? Couldn't he say it yet?
However, Qin Xiao didn't care. Since the other party wanted to meet in person, they would definitely meet eventually.
"Where is it? Here?"
Qin Xiao asked curiously.
Chairman Yue seemed a little embarrassed. "The other party sent me their location. Do you think we should go and make the deal?"
As they were talking, Chairman Yue sent over his location.
Qin Xiao glanced at it; the location was still in the capital, which was a problem.
"Alright, Chairman Yue, thank you very much. I'll go and meet this strange trader."
He wasn't worried about encountering danger here; if even the capital wasn't safe, then he'd have nowhere to run.
Qin Xiao stood up and said goodbye to Chairman Yue.
Just as I was about to leave, I suddenly remembered something.
"Oh, by the way, President Yue, I'd also like to collect some gold and platinum spirit crystals, any kind and variety. As for the specific quantity, just follow my quota. There's no rush, President Yue, you can help me collect them slowly."
Yue Shan stood up and nodded. "No problem. These spirit crystals are easy to handle. I'll keep an eye on them for you."
"Thank you so much!"
“We’re all on the same side, these are minor matters. Our association collects these resources regularly anyway.”
Yue Shan waved his hand, and Qin Xiao didn't delay any longer. He left the Spirit Contract Association and headed over to the location the other party had given him.
All the way there, he kept wondering to himself, who could this be?
Unable to figure it out, Qin Xiao simply stopped thinking about it, figuring he'd find out when he got there anyway.
Soon, in a quiet apartment building on the outskirts of the capital's first ring road.
Qin Xiao went up to the top floor and rang the doorbell.
A sense of unease began to creep into my mind.
Where do you find deals where people arrange to meet at home?
The bell rang for a while, and footsteps came from inside. Qin Xiao composed himself.
The door opened, and a beautiful face with an icy demeanor appeared inside.
Qin Xiao was shocked and exclaimed, "It's you!"
The person inside showed a slight change in expression, but quickly regained their composure.
He nodded. "Come in."
Qin Xiao changed his shoes with suspicion and followed them inside.
He opened his mouth several times, but couldn't voice his doubts.
After sitting down in the living room, the other person reached out and poured a cup of hot tea.
Qin Xiao couldn't hold back any longer and asked.
"Are you the one who wants to make a deal with me?"
The girl sitting opposite me nodded slightly; the ice butterfly-shaped hair clip on her head was quite memorable.
That's right, this woman is Mu Yueming, who just separated from the secret realm.
Qin Xiao's expression was strange, but he couldn't care less about that now and asked directly.
Is the goods here?
The other party shook his head, and seeing Qin Xiao's displeased expression, immediately said.
"I've already arranged for someone to deliver it; it will arrive soon."
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiao's expression softened considerably. As long as the other party wasn't deliberately playing a trick on him, given their status, they probably wouldn't lie to him.
"What do you want in exchange? I have some extraordinary-grade spirit crystals here. What do you say?"
Qin Xiao acted in a businesslike manner and immediately began discussing the details of the transaction with the other party.
Mu Yueming, however, showed little interest. "I don't want your spirit crystals."
"Then what do you want? I only sell my art, not my body!"
Qin Xiao blurted it out, and as soon as the words left his mouth, he regretted it.
It's fine to joke around with a different woman, but with someone of her status, it would be troublesome if she couldn't handle the situation.
To everyone's surprise, after hearing Qin Xiao's words, the other party neither refuted nor got angry, but instead looked awkward.
Qin Xiao was stunned. What was going on?
Am I... that charming?
Thinking this, Qin Xiao looked at Mu Yueming with suspicion.
The other person's face flushed slightly. "I...I want to ask you for a favor."
Qin Xiao was unsure of the other person's thoughts. "Is there... anything else you need me for?"
Mu Yue knew that the other party seemed to have misunderstood, so she immediately explained.
"Here's the thing, I have a secret realm at my disposal, and my mother wants me to conquer and occupy the entire realm, so I'd like to ask for your help."
Qin Xiao was even more confused. "But with your status, you could have any help you wanted, so why are you looking for me?"
Mu Yueming said helplessly, "My mother said that I am not allowed to use her connections, nor am I allowed to contact people whose level exceeds the Secret Realm."
Having witnessed your strength at the World Youth Championships, I naturally believe in your abilities. After much consideration, you're the only one suitable for the position.
"But I don't have time."
Qin Xiao instinctively refused, putting aside the other party's identity, he subconsciously didn't want to have any more contact with them.
He also has a lot on his plate, including the advancement of his beast tamers and the management of his own secret realm.
He was still leading the team from the Spirit Taming Academy, arranging for Ye Qingya and her daughter's continued beast taming and cultivation resources.
In short, he needs to get moving. He's so busy he doesn't have time to meddle in other people's business.
Upon hearing his words, Mu Yueming stared intently at him.
Qin Xiao felt uncomfortable under her gaze. "Miss Mu, perhaps you should change your request. I'll offer something else in exchange. I really can't spare the time."
After a long pause, Mu Yueming shook her head. Qin Xiao's expression froze, and not wanting to waste any more words, he prepared to get up and take his leave.
"Hey, what's the rush? I haven't finished speaking yet."
As she spoke, Mu Yueming stood up and walked to the door.
The delivery person had arrived and signed for the goods. Mu Yueming returned to the living room.
He placed the spirit crystal in his hand on the table.
"I've brought you the things. You don't really need to refuse, since you'll still help me in the end anyway."
Qin Xiao looked puzzled. Would he still help in the end?
"Why?"
"The Spirit Academy will be organizing a team-based secret realm trial, and I reckon you'll be the team leader."
Qin Xiao seemed to have thought of something, but couldn't quite put his finger on it.
"What does this have to do with you? Are you also going to join this trial team?"
Mu Yueming shook his head, "No, but the secret realm you are going to enter for the trial is most likely my secret realm."
ah?
Qin Xiao looked surprised.
However, he was also somewhat speechless, as he had worked so hard to create his own secret realm, only to find that someone else already had one.
It's true what they say: comparing goods makes you want to throw them away, comparing people makes you miserable.
"What if it isn't?"
Mu Yueming shook her head slightly, quite confident, "Even if it's not, then forget it. You can exchange it for other spirit crystals later."
"Here you go first. If it turns out to be my secret realm, then you'll have to help me."
Qin Xiao hesitated for a moment, then thought... it might not be a bad idea, since it was just something that happened on the way anyway.
"Alright then, but what exactly is the situation with your secret realm?"
Mu Yueming then picked up his teacup.
"Don't ask any more questions. I'll tell you once you're sure you want to enter my secret realm."
Qin Xiao frowned. "Alright then, I appreciate Miss Mu's kindness for now. If anything changes later, I will definitely make sure to give you the items."
Mu Yueming nodded without saying anything more.
Qin Xiao stopped dawdling and put away the spirit crystals to leave.
"etc!"
Qin Xiao turned around. "Is there anything else?"
"Let's connect on communication. You can let me know once you've confirmed the location of the secret realm."
Qin Xiao didn't think much of it and directly sent a message to add him as a friend.
Communication with the other party was established very quickly.
The other party's profile picture wasn't of themselves, but rather a strange ice sculpture.
"Then I'll take my leave now."
