Chapter 223 Inviting the Next Victim
After Fan Xian left, Ye Nanxiao's figure slowly appeared in the conference room.
Ye Nanxiao retrieved the four silencing beads that were floating around him and sat down on a chair.
"The Aodu Chamber of Commerce is in turmoil. The atmosphere among the three vice presidents is like a powder keg, just waiting for a fuse to ignite it."
"I didn't expect Wu Ye to have such grand ambitions. Choosing to severely damage An Litong seems to indicate that Wu Ye intends to eliminate An Litong and take control of the entire Aodu Chamber of Commerce. With such a grand strategy, how can An Litong be excluded by the three of them? Hehehe!"
Ye Nanxiao chuckled a few times. He wanted to find a way to drag An Litong into the current chaotic situation. He combined the methods that Ju Zi had told him with the ideas in his mind and gradually merged them into a plan.
A soft footstep sound came from the doorway, drawing Ye Nanxiao's attention to the entrance.
Old Jin swaggered in, pulled a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, put it in his mouth, and even reached out to comb his hair slightly.
"I knew you, you charlatan, hadn't left yet." Old Jin slowly exhaled a smoke ring, staring straight at Ye Nanxiao.
Ye Nanxiao smiled and spread his hands, indicating that you had found out.
Old Jin leaned against the doorframe and said, "Only a fool like Fan Xian would fall for your trick. Looks like you've landed a big job this time, or maybe you already knew someone would come looking for you. Am I right?"
Before Ye Nanxiao could speak, Old Jin finished his cigarette, exhaled a cloud of smoke, gave Ye Nanxiao a deep look, and turned to leave.
"I will remove the warrant for your arrest. I hope this is the last time we meet, Xiao Nanye."
The voices faded into the distance along with Lao Jin's footsteps, and the referees along the way all chose to leave quickly.
Ye Nanxiao quietly left the No. 1 arena, turning left and right before entering a dark alley.
Fifteen minutes later, Ye Nanxiao arrived at Xuan Ziwen's private residence.
Ye Nanxiao easily climbed through the window and landed, only to see Xuan Ziwen lying on the ground.
Just as Xuan Ziwen figured out the inscription method for a core magic array, the fatigue spreading throughout his body made him want to take a nap.
As a research fanatic, he only planned to take a short break before continuing his soul tool experiment. After glancing at his bedroom, which was a dozen steps away, Xuan Ziwen simply lay down on the floor.
I had just turned over when I heard a slight noise from the window.
I opened my eyes abruptly and saw a leaf fox climbing in through the window.
The two locked eyes and remained silent.
Ye Nanxiao blinked, tilted his head slightly, and asked, "Actually, you can always prepare a few blankets in your storage soul tool. When I was cultivating immortality, I would just spread the blankets on the ground and lie down to sleep. Soft blankets are better than cold floors. Although I am not afraid of the cold, I am more suited to sleeping on soft beds."
Xuan Ziwen [.]
She silently turned away, not intending to pay any attention to Ye Nanxiao.
Seeing that Xuan Ziwen had turned away and ignored him, Ye Nanxiao went into the kitchen.
After working so hard for so long, I should treat myself to a late-night snack.
"Please put extra chili powder in my fried chicken!"
Xuan Ziwen's voice came through.
Ye Nanxiao peeked out from the kitchen and saw that Xuan Ziwen was still lying down, showing no intention of getting up to help.
He took an apple from the refrigerator and threw it at Xuan Ziwen.
"Eat my Poké Ball!"
A moment later, Xuan Ziwen held up his glass and asked Ye Nanxiao, "Do you still have any of that 'happy water'?"
Ye Nanxiao reached out to protect the bottle of soda in front of him, glared at Xuan Ziwen, and said, "That's all! Make yourself some!"
"Rare metals, in exchange for three cases of soda!" Xuan Ziwen put down the fried chicken and said seriously.
"Great!" Ye Nanxiao waved his hand.
Xuan Ziwen took out a piece of rare, silvery-white metal from his personal storage soul tool and tossed it to Ye Nanxiao.
Seeing the rare metal flying towards him, Ye Nanxiao waved his hand to catch it, and at the same time, three cases of soda appeared on the ground.
As soon as the soda appeared, Xuan Ziwen quickly put it away.
"Teacher, do you know An Litong?" Ye Nanxiao suddenly asked.
Xuan Ziwen has been involved in the underground soul master industry for many years, and should also have information on the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, one of the three giants in the underground world.
Upon hearing this, Xuan Ziwen put down the cup of soda in his hand, looked at Ye Nanxiao, and asked, "What are you up to now?"
Seeing that Xuan Ziwen did not refuse, Ye Nanxiao smiled and said, "Someone sent me a great gift; it was someone from the Aodu Chamber of Commerce."
Xuan Ziwen picked up the cup and drank the "happy water" in one gulp.
He wiped his hands, straightened his glasses, and waved his left hand in front of Ye Nanxiao.
Seeing this, Ye Nanxiao said helplessly, "Teacher, you've changed. You're no longer my lovely and kind teacher."
Xuan Ziwen's glasses immediately reflected a cold light as he snorted, "You brat, you still remember I'm your teacher? You skip class every day and just cause me trouble! You've even corrupted my prized student!"
Xuan Ziwen said the last sentence through gritted teeth.
Orange, who used to bury herself in her research in the lab every day and focus on soul tools, has changed. She has been corrupted by the fox in front of her, learned to eat salted fish, and even started skipping classes.
As a teacher, Ju Zi was his precious student whom he had raised himself. He couldn't hit or scold her, so he could only punish the culprit. But this fox was even more cunning!
Ye Nanxiao shrugged and said helplessly, "Let me make this clear first, your prized student wasn't corrupted by me! She's self-taught; she grasped it on her own!"
"Isn't it all because of you, you fox, setting such a good example for her!" Xuan Ziwen glared at Ye Nanxiao and said irritably, "First, tell me what you're going to do, so you don't put Mingdu on high alert."
Ye Nanxiao touched his nose somewhat awkwardly. Judging from Xuan Ziwen's reaction, he had more or less guessed some of Ye Nanxiao's behavior.
"I heard that the Aodu Chamber of Commerce has a lot of rare metals," Ye Nanxiao casually offered a reason.
Xuan Ziwen's face immediately darkened.
Why don't you say that there are even more rare metals in the imperial palace's treasury?
Seeing Xuan Ziwen's face darken, Ye Nanxiao held up two fingers and said, "After it's done, I'll give you 20%?"
Xuan Ziwen stared blankly at Ye Nanxiao, then reached out and pried open the remaining three fingers on Ye Nanxiao's right hand. "A 50/50 split, or forget it!"
Ye Nanxiao's expression immediately fell. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and agreed to Xuan Ziwen's request.
"Waaah, you heartless bastard! You actually exploited the rare metal that I worked so hard to get!" Ye Nanxiao cried out in a "orz" gesture.
Xuan Ziwen suppressed the urge to throw the whimpering fox out of the house and said, "An Litong is a pure businessman, and you probably know how to deal with a businessman."
Ye Nanxiao's ears twitched. A businessman, huh? That makes things much easier.
"However, it will be difficult to attract An Litong's attention in a short period of time," Xuan Ziwen poured cold water on Ye Nanxiao's hopes.
With An Litong holding a third of the world on Earth in Mingdu, he's not someone you can easily deal with.
Ye Nanxiao sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes lowered, pondering a strategy.
Indeed, as Xuan Ziwen said, An Litong is one of the three giants in the underworld. Even though the Aodu Chamber of Commerce is in internal turmoil due to the three vice presidents, it still stands tall in the underworld of Mingdu.
The predicament of Li Yuanren's people precisely illustrates how ruthless An Litong is.
Seeing Ye Nanxiao sitting quietly to the side without saying a word, Xuan Ziwen was happy to have some peace and quiet and leisurely enjoyed his fried chicken and soda.
"Although they are one of the giants standing in the underworld of Mingdu, they are still hiding underground."
Since it was in Mingdu, and Mingdu was the place with the most advanced soul tools, it was natural to start with soul tools. So, two names suddenly appeared in Ye Nanxiao's mind.
"I wonder what the price will be this time. I hope the little poison girl won't go through the whole of Mingdu." Recalling some unpleasant meetings, Ye Nanxiao couldn't help but shiver slightly, and the muscles in his legs seemed to start to ache.
Xuan Ziwen swallowed the last piece of fried chicken, wiped his hands, stood up, and said to Ye Nanxiao, "I'm leaving now. I've had a few more students to teach recently. They're all oddballs like you, but none of them have reached your level of amazing skill."
"Hey, hey, hey, don't forget about me after you've eaten fried chicken! What kind of magical species are you? How can you slander someone like this out of thin air!" The Leaf Fox of a certain magical species immediately retorted.
"One of them once said frankly that he only wanted to make one soul tool in his life. How can I teach that? Oh well, never mind!" Xuan Ziwen straightened his clothes slightly, opened the door and left.
Ye Nanxiao stroked his chin, lost in thought.
"A Soul Master who's only willing to be a Soul Tool Master? Could it be that kid?"
He remembered that in the next Continental Soul Master Competition, the Sun and Moon team had a Soul Master who spent a lot of time using all his knowledge to gradually improve the Soul Tool that his father had passed down to him to its limit.
It may seem unconventional, but it is not.
There are almost no Soul Masters who can dedicate their entire lives to researching only one Soul Tool. After all, the Soul Tool is the embodiment of a Soul Master's strength. A Soul Master's strength depends not only on how powerful their Soul Tool crafting skills are, but also on their ability to control the Soul Tool.
If a Soul Master only has one Soul Tool, it means that their attack methods are limited.
However, Ye Nanxiao did not think so. If a soul tool could simultaneously satisfy the three conditions of attack, defense and control, then the soul master who wielded this soul tool would definitely be a top figure in the soul master world.
"I remember, Little Ye No. 1 seemed to have complained to me before that Shadow Stream was severely understaffed?" Ye Nanxiao stroked his chin, planning in his mind how to persuade them, hmm, to summon a few people over.
A plan called "Talent Recruitment" slowly formed in Ye Nanxiao's mind.
"Should I then say, 'Let's give a round of applause to the next victim you've set your sights on?'" Xue Di said with a smile.
