Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 355 - 351: The Final Team Member Selection

Chapter 355: Chapter 351: The Final Team Member Selection

Xia Feng didn’t mind at all, though those waiting behind to pick up the leftovers after Tang Yunqi left all showed traces of resentment.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see Xia Feng was wealthy.

Tang Yunqi had really struck it lucky with a major benefactor.

None of them paid attention to these looks and went straight into a nearby tent.

Xia Feng took another look around, and then his expression turned somewhat subtle.

Tang Yunqi claimed to be a loose cultivator with some prestige, but now it seemed he had more than just a little.

Apart from the rows of tents strung together by the Four Great Clans, few individual loose cultivators dared to set up tents here.

Tang Yunqi not only set up a tent, but no one came over to cause trouble.

What’s more, after he took Xia Feng away, even though people around were angry, none dared to step forward and stop Tang Yunqi.

All of these indicated that people were particularly wary of Tang Yunqi.

Inside the tent sat a couple and a boy who looked about ten, who stood up in unison when Tang Yunqi entered and called out, "Brother Tang."

The boy, however, called out, "Uncle Tang."

After calling, they looked at Xia Tianming and Xia Feng brought in behind him, seeming somewhat puzzled.

Tang Yunqi made a gesture of one, then retracted halfway, as if signaling to the couple.

Their expressions immediately turned friendly.

"Friends brought back by Brother Tang, huh? I’m Zhou Zhang, this is my wife Zhou Yun, and this here is our son, Zhou Lu."

The man among the adults showed a somewhat simple and honest smile and extended his hand toward Xia Feng, seemingly wanting to shake hands.

Xia Feng’s brow furrowed imperceptibly, and Tang Yunqi stepped forward and took Zhou Zhang’s hand.

"Hey, the little guy doesn’t talk much. I just brought him back for a rest. Once we enter the Secret Realm, you two ought to watch out and not bump into him."

Xia Feng’s brow slightly relaxed, but his expression remained indifferent, and he went and sat in a corner by himself.

Xia Tianming sat next to him, frowning and sending a message: "Are these people trustworthy?"

"If our identities are known by the Dongfang Clan, they’ll go crazy for sure."

"What if they report our situation to the Dongfang Clan..."

Xia Feng shook his head slightly, while observing Tang Yunqi, who was also watching him.

This man was slick and had some connections, clearly looking down on the Four Great Clans’ conduct.

He probably disliked the Dongfang Clan; after all, his tent was essentially located nearest to the Beiming Clan, farthest from the Dongfang Clan.

Not sure what kind of signal Tang Yunqi and those two made, but for the next few days, the two adults hardly spoke to Xia Feng.

That kid, however, frequently ran up to Xia Feng, always looking curious.

Tang Yunqi went out every day to network; although he earned two Lower Grade Divine Crystals by selling information, he still couldn’t get the spot he wanted.

Seeing that it was almost time for the Secret Realm to open, and still not having gotten the last spot, Tang Yunqi’s expression became increasingly anxious.

After thinking deeply for a while, he couldn’t help but go up to Xia Feng, looking a bit embarrassed.

"Um, little guy..."

Xia Feng already guessed what he was going to say, though he was slightly surprised.

"Are you really planning to take such a young child in there?"

Tang Yunqi, looking helpless, communicated to Xia Feng: "To be honest, little guy, the Secret Realm key isn’t mine; it’s Zhou Zhang’s."

"After he and his wife got this opportunity, they planned to entrust their child to me and then participate in this Secret Realm trial."

"It was my own greed thinking I could manage to go along and see if I could get inside."

He sighed; apart from Tang Yunqi, the couple trusted no one. If he wasn’t willing to help with the kid, they would rather take the child into the Secret Realm than entrust him to anyone else.

This meant if he wanted to get inside, Zhou Lu would also have to go in, leaving one less spot.

His fingers slightly rubbed the ring.

"To be honest, I’m actually the Young Clan Leader of one of the subsidiary clans under the Beiming Clan. I have some abilities, but not much to show for it."

His mouth twitched slightly: "I just want one spot, definitely not trying to take over the little guy’s team."

"As long as I can be brought into the Secret Realm, you don’t need to worry after that; I’ll find a way to meet up with the few of them myself."

Xia Feng’s expression was slightly moved, though he remained somewhat uneasy in his heart.

He glanced thoughtfully at the tents of the Four Great Clans, then spoke after a while.

"I’ll take you, but there’s a condition."

Tang Yunqi’s eyes instantly lit up, nodding repeatedly: "Just say it, little guy. Whatever your condition is, my Tang Family will owe you one."

"My home is next to the Beiming Clan, hang on, I’ll get you a map."

He hurriedly took out a scroll from the ring, and it unfolded as a map of the area around the Beiming Clan.

The Tang family’s location was indeed somewhat remote but occupied a considerable area.

Xia Feng thoughtfully accepted the map, clicking his tongue.

"Earlier, it wasn’t that I was unwilling to bring you; it’s just that I have some enmity with one of the Four Great Clans."

"If you’re with me, you might get involved, so it’s not a very complex condition."

"I just hope you’ll disguise yourself well so they don’t recognize you."

Xia Tianming tugged Xia Feng’s sleeve, seemingly disapproving of this decision.

Xia Feng didn’t speak, just observing Tang Yunqi’s reaction, seeing his face display shock quickly followed by contemplation, apparently weighing the pros and cons to decide the best choice.

After a while, he gritted his teeth: "Fortune favors the bold."

"Don’t worry, little guy, I’ll find a way to disguise myself."

"Also, while my Tang Family is just a subsidiary clan, we still have some standing in front of the Four Great Clans."

He paused before asking gently, "Um, the clan you mentioned having enmity with is not the Beiming Clan, right?"

Xia Feng shook his head, to which Tang Yunqi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, then spoke quickly and quietly: "I’ll go figure out a way to change identities right now."

"Get ready, little guy. It’s almost time for the Secret Realm to open by tomorrow morning."

So saying, he left hurriedly, winding his way into the main tent of the Beiming Clan.
