The three of them waited for nearly an hour with their own thoughts. Then, they heard rumbling footsteps outside.
Wang Xiao turned around and looked out of the window. He saw Liu Yunsheng and Shen Tianlin rush into the Lord’s Shop with the group of people just now.
“They’re back.”
Wang Xiao informed him. A few minutes later, Shen Tianlin pushed the door open and walked in, but he did not see Liu Yunsheng.
“Minister Shen.”
Lin Xiang hurriedly went forward to greet him. He looked outside for a moment and probed, “Um… Where’s the boss?”
“Boss has something urgent to deal with. He’s going back to the Holy Capital first.”
Shen Tianlin then replied and hooked his finger at Wang Xiao. “Follow me.”
Before Wang Xiao could speak, Zhou Xiruo said coldly, “Are you done? Don’t forget that we’re customers! If you have anything to say, say it here!”
“Here?”
Shen Tianlin’s expression darkened. “Then I’m afraid you’ll have to wait for two to three months.”
Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo were stunned when they heard this, not understanding what he meant.
Lin Xiang, who was at the side, seemed to have understood something. His face lit up as he hurriedly waved at Wang Xiao. “Brother Wang! Hurry up and follow him! Minister Shen wants to bring you to collect the resources!”
“Collect the resources?”
Wang Xiao was even more confused when he heard this. “How did you know?”
“Two to three months!”
Lin Xiang explained excitedly, “Resources and items can’t pass through the [Ancient Teleportation Portal]. Ordinary lords’ territories can’t store so many resources, so when a large number of resources are handed over, they are transported through the logistics route.”
“It takes two to three months to transport resources from the Holy Capital to Kaiyang City. I’ve been a branch manager here for six to seven years. I’m very familiar with this timeframe!”
Hearing Lin Xiang’s explanation, Wang Xiao immediately looked at Shen Tianlin inquiringly.
Seeing this, Shen Tianlin snorted ambiguously. He did not admit Lin Xiang’s guess, but he did not deny it either.
Seeing this reaction, Wang Xiao knew that Lin Xiang was most likely right. Otherwise, with Shen Tianlin’s personality, he would definitely not be silent at this time.
Delighted, Wang Xiao hurriedly stood up and prepared to set off, but for some reason, he sat back down.
Shen Tianlin looked displeased. “What’s wrong now? Don’t you want the resources?”
“Of course I want the resources, but I don’t understand why?”
Wang Xiao sat on the sofa and looked at Shen Tianlin. “You guys came to find trouble with me aggressively, and now you want to give me resources for no reason. Don’t you think it’s very strange?”
“So what if it’s strange?”
Shen Tianlin frowned and asked, “Now that I’m taking you to get the resources, just tell me if you want them or not. Why do you care so much?”
“Is that so?”
Wang Xiao sneered and looked at Shen Tianlin provocatively. “Then I don’t want them anymore. Please leave.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Tianlin’s expression suddenly changed. Even Lin Xiang and Zhou Xiruo revealed puzzled expressions.
Zhou Xiruo whispered in Wang Xiao’s ear, “I know you’re still angry, but the resources are for you to advance to level four! How can you not want them just like that?”
“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”
Wang Xiao gently patted the back of Zhou Xiruo’s hand and looked at Shen Tianlin with a faint smile. “Why isn’t Minister Shen leaving yet? Did I not make myself clear enough?”
“Wang Xiao, don’t push your luck!”
Shen Tianlin looked at Wang Xiao coldly and gritted his teeth. “I’m giving you resources because the boss is kind. Don’t take advantage of me!”
“I’ll do it today. What can you do to me?”
Wang Xiao sneered and replied arrogantly. Seeing Shen Tianlin’s current reaction, he could basically confirm his guess.
Without waiting for Shen Tianlin to fly into a rage, Wang Xiao directly said, “If I’m not wrong, this is Liu Yingying’s idea, right? She should have said that if you don’t give me the resources, she will never return home.”
“How did you know?!”
Shen Tianlin subconsciously asked in surprise. After saying that, he realized that something was wrong. “Did you discuss this?”
“Then you’re overestimating me!”
Wang Xiao smiled bitterly and helplessly. He basically knew what was going on.
Liu Yingying’s current threat and asking Shen Tianlin about Wang Xiao were most likely to make others misunderstand their relationship.
At first glance, it seemed very strange for Liu Yingying to do this, but if she wanted to take revenge on Wang Xiao, everything made sense.
One was the daughter of the Lord’s Shop, and the other was a “poor kid” from Kaiyang City. Any elder with a normal IQwould not think highly of this relationship, let alone Liu Yunsheng who nurtured his granddaughter like his successor.
If his cabbage that he painstakingly planted was stolen by a wild boar from somewhere, he could imagine what Liu Yunsheng would do to Wang Xiao in a fit of anger.
“Although this plan is too simple, if she really succeeds, the consequences will be unimaginable… Indeed, women are the most vicious!”
Wang Xiao muttered at a loss whether to laugh or cry. As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that Zhou Xiruo’s expression was not right. He was stunned for a moment before hurriedly explaining, “Xiruo, I’m not talking about you! You’re different from her!”
“Different how?”
Zhou Xiruo looked at Wang Xiao bitterly. “Do you think I’m not a woman?”
“That’s not what I meant!”
Wang Xiao hurriedly waved his hand. “What I mean is that you’re a good woman, different from a bad woman like Liu Yingying!
When Shen Tianlin heard this, he instantly exploded. “Wang Xiao! What are you saying? Do you really think I don’t dare to touch you?”
Wang Xiao’s expression changed. He wanted to explain, but he did not know where to start. He simply waved his hand. “Forget it! I said the wrong thing. I apologize to you. Hurry up and get the resources!”
“This is the last time I’m telling you this!”
Shen Tianlin glared at Wang Xiao and warned him fiercely. Then, he stormed out of the office.
Wang Xiao coaxed Zhou Xiruo a few more times. After she calmed down, he chased after him. Shen Tianlin was already gone from the corridor.
Fortunately, Wang Xiao knew the way. After asking Lin Xiang to activate the [Ancient Teleportation Portal], he brought Zhou Xiruo to the Holy Capital and followed the route in his memory to the storage area of the Lord’s Shop headquarters.
When he came up from the underground passageway, he immediately saw Shen Tianlin waiting by the roadside.
Before Wang Xiao could speak, Shen Tianlin took off his crystal badge. “Do you know where the person-in-charge of the storage department is?”
“Go yourself. ”
Wang Xiao was stunned when he heard this. “Aren’t you going with me?”
Shen Tianlin frowned. “You don’t know the way?”
“I do know the way, but…”
As Wang Xiao spoke, a white light flashed in his hand, and the previous [Gold Contract] appeared in his hand. “We haven’t signed this contract yet. Why are you directly giving me the resources?”
Shen Tianlin rolled his eyes and took the contract. He quickly changed the relevant content and left his lord mark. “Can you do it now?
Wang Xiao took it back and saw that the number of mutated beasts nurtured for the Lord’s Shop had changed to three. The total amount had also changed to 15 billion.
Without any hesitation, Wang Xiao decisively left his lord mark and successfully signed the [Gold Contract]. However, he suddenly did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Although he had been schemed against by Liu Yingying once, in the end, she had coincidentally facilitated the transaction. For a moment, Wang Xiao did not know if he should thank her or resent her..
