"Since Chaos Beasts are so important, why don't you Chaos Merchants send some experts here? Also, other forces don't know about this?"
"Well... other forces really don't know. As for our Chaos Company, in order not to arouse suspicion from other forces and to avoid suspicion from the Black Wind Emperor, we have settled in Black Wind City like any other small or medium-sized city, and we haven't given it any special treatment."
"Then how did you get this news? The Black Wind Emperor is such a dictator, such important news would not be easily leaked."
"Don't ask about this. In short, it's enough for you to know about the Chaos Beast." Meng Ting said somewhat embarrassedly.
She couldn't tell Li Mu that this was originally a deal between their Chaos Trading Company and the Black Wind Emperor, right? The Black Wind Emperor paid them a reward, and they were responsible for guaranteeing the introduction of foreign monks to join.
Even if Meng Ting didn't say it, Li Mu had guessed it. However, he didn't point it out, but asked instead: "You told me so much, I'm afraid it has something to do with what I promised you before?"
"Haha, that's right, Palace Master Li Mu, I hope you can cooperate with our Chaos Trading Company to snatch this Chaos Beast."
"Elder Meng, you think too highly of me. I am only in the early stage of Void Immortal Ancestor. There must be more than one Void Immortal Ancestor in this city, right?"
"Haha, Palace Master Li Mu, you worry too much. The number of Void Immortal Ancestors in this city, even if you add the subordinates of the Black Wind Emperor, will not exceed two handfuls. I have a feeling that you are not as simple as you look. Besides, you have the help of Deputy Palace Master Kunpeng. For you, it is not difficult to obtain the Chaos Beast."
Li Mu smiled bitterly: "Even so, if I really caught the Chaos Beast, you also said that the Black Wind Emperor is at least in the late stage of the Heavenly Dao Divine Ancestor realm, how can I break it?"
Meng Ting glanced at Li Mu meaningfully, and then transmitted her voice: "Palace Master, just give me the Void Beast when the time comes."
Li Mu immediately understood what Meng Ting meant. This Chaos Company was not ethical! They might have already ambushed a large number of experts outside Black Wind City. Where was the merchant's reputation? They even wanted to steal the employer's goods!
But thinking back, Chaos Trading Company was not wrong to do so. After all, the Black Wind Emperor did not tell them about the Chaos Beast himself, and their employment was not related to the Chaos Beast.
However, Li Mu always felt that there was something strange about this matter. The Black Wind Emperor was not a fool. Wouldn't he have thought that Chaos Business would do this? Didn't he have a backup plan?
Similarly, Chaos Trading Company, as the number one trading company in the Chaos Sea, is so smart, wouldn’t they have thought that Emperor Black Wind would guess what Chaos Trading Company was thinking?
The matter was getting more and more confusing, so Li Mu simply stopped thinking about it. No matter how they fought, he had a backup plan anyway. The worst that could happen was that he could just run away.
However, in order not to arouse Meng Ting's suspicion, Li Mu did not give a reply immediately, but said: "This matter is of great importance, can you allow me to think about it again?"
Meng Ting smiled and said, "It's okay, Palace Master Li Mu, just reply to me before the competition. If you can agree, you don't have to pay back the 1 million Chaos Stones regardless of whether the matter succeeds or not. If it succeeds, then we are willing to give you an additional 10 million Chaos Stones as compensation."
"Sure." Li Mu replied.
With this, the two ended their spiritual communication.
At this time, Kunpeng had already finished his portion of Chaos Fish and was staring at the one in front of Li Mu. Qingyao was a little restrained. In addition, her body was too weak now. If she ate too fast, she would not be able to withstand such a large amount of energy. Therefore, she just sipped the soup in small sips, and most of the fish meat was left.
"Hehe~ Deputy Palace Master Kun, are you still feeling unsatisfied? How about I order another portion for you, or you can just eat my portion? I haven't even taken a few bites yet, you shouldn't dislike me, right?" Meng Ting chuckled at Kunpeng.
"Okay, okay, I don't mind. Why would I mind Elder Meng?" Kunpeng nodded repeatedly and was about to take the Chaos Fish from Meng Ting's hand.
Li Mu slapped his hand away, looking at Kunpeng's useless appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little angry: "Since you have finished eating, you can go out for a walk, don't embarrass yourself in front of me here."
Li Mu was a little regretful for announcing to me that Kunpeng was the deputy hall master of Lingxiao Hall. This performance of Kunpeng really damaged the reputation of Lingxiao Hall which had not yet been established.
Kunpeng was a little embarrassed when he heard Li Mu say that. He coughed and said, "Ahem~ What were you talking about just now? Even I, the deputy hall master, can't know?"
"No! Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask!" Li Mu shouted softly, and Kunpeng immediately shut his mouth.
Next, Li Mu chatted with Meng Ting about some trivial matters. Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, Meng Ting went to pay the bill, and the group parted ways.
Walking on the street outside, there were few people on the road and not many shops. Li Mu took a quick stroll and decided to find a place to settle down first. Since Kunpeng had already found a place to stay here, Li Mu did not choose another place. Under the leadership of Kunpeng, the three of them came to an inn, which was an inn that only received foreign guests like them. The decoration inside and outside was very luxurious. Although the inn was very large, there were not many guest rooms. They were all stand-alone courtyards. A courtyard was the standard for a cultivator.
There are many such inns throughout the Black Wind City, with different styles, scattered in various areas of the Black Wind City, under the pretext of satisfying the different preferences of foreign guests. However, in Li Mu's opinion, this is just a means for the Black Wind Emperor to prevent monks from gathering.
Originally, Li Mu thought that Kunpeng's courtyard was big enough to accommodate the three of them, so for convenience, he did not plan to book another room. However, the staff told him that in order to provide the guests with the best stay experience, the principle rule was one guest per courtyard.
Helplessly, Li Mu had to ask the staff to open two more courtyards next to Kunpeng, but this made the staff a little embarrassed. They told Li Mu that although Qingyao no longer belonged to Black Wind City, she did not apply for a foreign guest pass and therefore was not eligible to enjoy foreign guest treatment.
Then he reminded Li Mu that Qingyao's cultivation was too low and she could not apply for a foreign guest pass, and even entering Black Wind City would be a violation of the regulations.
"Forget it, Palace Master, let this little girl squeeze in with me. This way, we can both obey your orders at any time." Kunpeng suggested.
Li Mu thought about it, and then he said to Qingyao, "You live with me."
"Uh..." Kunpeng scratched his head, not knowing what Li Mu meant. How could a boss squeeze with his subordinates while he lived in a big house?
"I'll follow the Palace Master's orders." Qingyao said with a blushing face, not knowing what she was thinking of.
The staff were still somewhat reluctant to Li Mu's request, but after Kunpeng and Li Mu, they were both powerful Void Immortal Ancestors, so they didn't dare to say anything more.
After all, they had heard about what happened to the Black Wind Guards before, and those Black Wind Guards didn’t end up in a good way.
