Chen Tianwen was originally unwilling to have any more contact with the Sand Sea Guild, thinking that with Bai Ze, his journey to the Central Region would definitely be much smoother.
But now it seems we still have to go find Xiang Feng.
Putting aside whether or not we can borrow the legendary immortal array, asking Xiang Feng for information about the Xuan Turtle Clan is the most appropriate course of action.
Xiang Feng is, after all, a member of the Sand Sea Guild, and he must have some connections in the Flowing Wind Domain. It's much better than being completely clueless.
The Sand Sea Guild's branch was located in Tu Yun City. Chen Tianwen made a few inquiries and found the Sand Sea Guild's location.
Just like the bustling atmosphere inside the city, the Sand Sea Guild here was also overflowing with people.
The shouts of forming teams kept coming. Having learned from his previous experience, Chen Tianwen did not waste any more time here, but went straight to the counter.
A young woman, seeing Chen Tianwen approaching, said with a beaming smile:
"Young master, are you here to issue a mission?"
Chen Tianwen sighed inwardly, realizing that the hospitality in Tu Yun City was far superior to that in Jie City.
Chen Tianwen couldn't help but recall Wang Chong's indifferent expression when he first entered the Sand Sea Guild.
However, Chen Tianwen naturally wouldn't care about such things now, and instead spoke up:
"No, I need to find Elder Xiang Feng."
"Looking for Elder Xiang?"
The young woman's expression changed slightly, but she quickly returned to normal and said to Chen Tianwen:
"Please wait a moment, young master. I will contact Elder Xiang immediately."
Chen Tianwen had expected to go through registration or something, but he didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward. Chen Tianwen found a suitable spot and sat down.
About fifteen minutes later, Xiang Feng walked in from outside the hall and immediately saw Chen Tianwen sitting there. He was overjoyed.
Xiang Feng strode towards Chen Tianwen, his face full of smiles.
However, Chen Tianwen clearly noticed that Xiang Feng had a worried look on his face when he came in.
"Young Master Chen, it is an honor to have you here. Please come inside."
Xiang Feng politely invited Chen Tianwen into the inner room and instructed the servants to serve tea.
Chen Tianwen sipped his fine tea and looked at Xiang Feng, who was all smiles, and said:
"Elder Xiang, has something happened?"
Xiang Feng's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure and replied:
"These are just mundane matters; there's no need for Young Master Chen to worry about them."
If it were anyone else, Chen Tianwen wouldn't even bother to ask.
However, Chen Tianwen had a very good impression of Xiang Feng, who stood firmly by his side during the crisis.
Therefore, Chen Tianwen asked probing questions:
"Elder Xiang, I have come to meet you with sincerity, but if you are hiding something from me, then you are not treating me as one of your own."
Xiang Feng sighed as he looked at Chen Tianwen's sincere expression.
Chen Tianwen sat up slightly and continued speaking:
"Elder Xiang, the bond between friends is built on the foundation of helping each other out! If you encounter any difficulties, please speak frankly."
"And to be honest, I have come here today because I need to trouble the elder with something."
Xiang Feng's expression changed, but he finally made up his mind and said:
“Young Master Chen, this time you led a team across the endless desert, but in the end only I returned.”
“In the past, crossing the endless desert was already extremely difficult, and some deaths and injuries were quite normal.”
"But this time, someone is investigating this matter!"
Chen Tianwen understood; he guessed there was probably internal strife within the Sand Sea Guild.
This time, Xiang Feng led seven people across the endless desert, but only Chen Tianwen and the Hua sisters returned. Since Chen Tianwen and the Hua sisters did not return to Tu Yun City with Xiang Feng, it was natural that those with ulterior motives would find incriminating evidence against Xiang Feng.
Although the Huang brothers and Yu Rongmiao both brought this upon themselves, it's a situation that's hard to talk about.
Chen Tianwen pondered for a moment, then spoke to Xiang Feng:
"Elder Xiang, if needed, I can bring the two Hua sisters to clear your name."
Xiang Feng shook his head and said:
"Young Master Chen, that's not what I meant."
"There are quite a few people in the Sand Sea Guild who sabotage things behind people's backs. I've gotten used to it."
Chen Tianwen looked at Xiang Feng with a puzzled expression. If it wasn't because of this, then why was Xiang Feng so worried?
Xiang Feng paused, seemingly organizing his thoughts, before continuing:
“Young Master Chen, I suspect that this time, it’s not aimed at me, but rather at the Hua sisters.”
Chen Tianwen frowned, signaling Xiang Feng to continue.
"After I came back this time, the guild leader questioned me, but I managed to get away with it. However, the guild's elder kept asking about the whereabouts of the Hua sisters."
Xiang Feng thought for a moment and then shared his analysis:
“I said that the Hua sisters died at the hands of the Huang brothers, but the Grand Elder wouldn’t let it go and kept asking where the Hua sisters died. I just made up a location, and to my surprise, the Grand Elder actually sent people to check.”
Chen Tianwen nodded. The Hua sisters only had the strength of Golden Immortals, so why did they receive so much attention for no reason?
Perhaps this is related to Hua Meng and Hua Shuang's background. Chen Tianwen recalled that Wang Chong had told him that the two sisters came from a reclusive family.
Chen Tianwen had previously wondered why a member of a reclusive family would entrust the Sand Sea Guild with the task of traversing the Endless Sand Sea.
However, Chen Tianwen never asked the Hua Meng sisters about it, since it involved their family privacy and he wouldn't bring it up on his own initiative.
But now that someone is so dedicated to finding the two sisters, even if they know they were murdered, they still have to go to the scene to confirm it, then Chen Tianwen has no choice but to take this seriously!
Chen Tianwen will not forget Hua Meng's selfless use of her trump card to protect his kindness, so he will not stand idly by when it comes to matters concerning the Hua sisters.
However, after Xiang Feng's analysis, he still couldn't grasp the key point.
Chen Tianwen now understood why Xiang Feng had looked so worried earlier.
Xiang Feng knew that the Hua sisters were right beside him, and the Grand Elder would find out sooner or later.
Moreover, Xiang Feng had witnessed Bai Ze's strength and knew that with Bai Ze around, the Sand Sea Guild would definitely be no match for them.
What Xiang Feng cares about is how he should face Chen Tianwen when the time comes!
After all, Chen Tianwen had done him a favor, but his guild had attacked Chen Tianwen instead.
However, Xiang Feng felt somewhat guilty towards the guild if he told Chen Tianwen directly, so he was caught in a dilemma and looked worried.
However, now that he has spoken out, Xiang Feng feels much better.
Seeing Chen Tianwen remain silent, Xiang Feng recalled Chen Tianwen's earlier words and asked:
"Young Master Chen, you just said you wanted my help? Please just say so."
