Ling Xiao didn't even look at the teenager he just saved. At this moment, his entire body and mind was attracted by the Red Smoke Beast.

The Red Smoke Beast stared at Ling Xiao with its red eyes, then it slowly retreated.

Was he gathering energy for the next attack?

Ling Xiao was secretly vigilant.

The Crimson Smoke Beast retreated step by step until it was far enough away. Then, it turned around, stuck its butt out, and ran away.

Ling Xiao was stunned. After a while, he withdrew his accumulated inner strength speechlessly.

Gaylen rushed over, and seeing the situation, he laughed, "The Red Smoke Beast is very cunning and quick. It knows it's no match for you, so it just gave up on its prey."

Ling Xiao smiled helplessly.

Behind him, the teenager that was saved already recognized Allens and shouted excitedly: "Uncle Allens!"

Allens was also very surprised, the person he saved turned out to be someone he knew, "Easily?"

It turned out that this youth called Long Yirann was the target of Allens's mission this time, the second son of the Longxing Trading Company Master.

After listening to what happened to Long Yirann, Allens expressed his sympathy. Fortunately, out of the few guards with Long Yirann, only two were severely injured, while the other three were slightly injured. None of them were worried about their lives.

The two groups of people naturally moved towards the Longxing Trading Company together. Fortunately, there was no trouble along the way. The group of people safely arrived at the city gate.

As soon as they entered the city, Galen and the others took their leave after receiving the commission from Allens.

Under Long Yirann's warm invitation, Ling Xiao and Allens came to Longxing Trading Company, and this was also his home.

The store was so deserted that not a single person could be seen. The signboard hanging on the wall of the store was dim. Ling Xiao was secretly surprised, but he didn't show it on his face.

Long Yirann clearly knew his own limits. He looked at Ling Xiao with a wry smile, wanting to say something but hesitating.

Allens told Ling Xiao in hushed tones that his old friend, Long Yirann's father, Loong Wanjun, was a very kind person. Even though he was already a Sixth Order Warrior, he could still befriend someone like Ling Xiao without any hesitation. His Longxing Trading Company grew and expanded under his command.

But not long after, Loong Wanjun met a second level pinnacle Savage Beast on the way out. Not only did it lose its precious goods, it also lost more than half of its experts. He had barely managed to survive under the protection of his men, but he had been stuck in his sickbed forever, unable to get up.

Loong Wanjun's wife was already sick and weak, so the company could only entrust her two sons, Loong Yizhu and Long Yirann.

Although the martial arts talent of his two sons were not as good as Loong Wanjun's, and the business of the company had declined by leaps and bounds because of this incident, it was not a problem to maintain the family's livelihood through proper management.

But not long after, Loong Yizhu's childhood fiancee came over to end the engagement, and instead threw herself into the arms of Longxing Trading Company's former rival, the parent and son of the Longyang Trading Company.

Loong Yizhu suffered a huge blow because of this matter. He had always thought that as long as he became the Martial Cultivator, he would have the ability to save his father and his fiancee would be in his arms again.

These things tend to be expensive and ineffective.

However, the dragon clan, who had already reached a dead end, didn't pay any attention to him as they went around buying medicinal pills and techniques. After spending all the money he had, he would sell off all the items from the trading companies and his family. As a result, the Long family was becoming more and more poor, and even the trading company could no longer be maintained.

Allens had a good relationship with Loong Wanjun before. Now, seeing his old friend fall into such a predicament, he volunteered to help him bring a batch of goods to maintain the business.

He didn't expect such a big change to happen in the middle of it all. Luckily, Allens did not fail his mission and successfully brought the goods back. As long as he sold the goods, his Longxing Trading Company would be able to hold out for a while longer.

Under Long Yirann's lead, the two of them passed through the dilapidated trading firm. A little further in would be the home they were living in now. This was originally a storehouse filled with goods, but because their original home had already been sold by the Long family, they had no choice but to move into the store.

The current manager of Longxing Trading Company, Loong Wanjun, had an old face and a weak body.

When he saw Long Yirann and Allens, his face couldn't help but reveal a gratified smile. He said, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

Long Yirann Qiang tried his best to hold back his tears as he forced out a smile. He whispered to his father about his first time going out.

There was a commotion in the front yard. A vigorous male voice was particularly ear-piercing, "This is something from my family, why don't you let me take it away!"

Loong Wanjun and Long Yirann's faces darkened at the same time. After the two of them looked at each other, Long Yirann walked into the front yard and said angrily: "I want to see who dares to touch the goods I brought back!"

The ruckus died down for a while.

After a while, the same man's voice sounded again, "Of course, I know you worked hard, but this batch can only keep the store open for another month at most. If you let me change the medicine, I can definitely be promoted to a warrior."

Long Yirann became even angrier and ridiculed, "You believe that? What do you want me to believe in you? When did you ever say that I believed you the first time, you took half of the family stock, and the result? Nothing. The second time I let you do it, but you still haven't made any progress. Do you really have to force me and my parents to die in front of you!? "

These words were not unkind, Loong Yizhu's face immediately turned pale.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but then gave up and ran out of the house, not leaving a single word.

Long Yirann's face was pale. He ordered the guards to lock the stuff in the warehouse, put away the keys, and then returned to the house.

Loong Wanjun had been holding back his anger during the dispute between the two brothers. Seeing Loong Yizhu leave, he immediately coughed and said, "I'm sorry, but I'm sorry. My son is not up to the task. I'm sorry to have to be a joke."

Ling Xiao and Allens naturally could not reveal the other party's scars and quickly changed the topic.

Gradually, Loong Wanjun was also attracted by the thrilling scene described by Allens. An expression of wonder or joy appeared on his face.

After Allens finished his sentence, he let out a long sigh and sighed. "Brother, although you've been through a lot of dangers along the way, at least you've made a breakthrough. It's a blessing in disguise."

Allens glanced at Ling Xiao beside him and echoed, "Who says that's not the case?"

In the description just now, the person who gave him the natural essence was a mysterious masked man who concealed Ling Xiao's identity.

After a few pleasantries, Loong Wanjun took a break. Allens went to check out the goods, and Long Yirann took Ling Xiao to dinner.

Ling Xiao finally found the opportunity, and asked Long Yirann on the way: "May I ask if there is a map of the runners in the store? I'm willing to pay for it. "

This was also the main reason Ling Xiao agreed to come to Longxing Trading Company. With a Southwest Province's map, he wouldn't be lost, and he would be able to find a clear direction to go, and avoid many dangers along the way.

Long Yirann did not immediately agree or reject. Instead, he hesitated and said, "I'm afraid I can't make a decision on that."

To a trading company, what was the most precious thing? Not goods, not connections. It was a route drawn up by the caravan in the course of their previous shipments. Such road maps are unusually detailed. Some will be accompanied by a detailed description. Wherever there were powerful Savage Beast s and mountains and rivers, they were all clearly marked.

Ling Xiao knew that his request was a bit difficult. If he didn't offer a price that would move Long Yirann's heart, it would be hard for him to get the map.

Therefore, after asking, he brought out an enticement that Long Yirann couldn't refuse no matter what: "If you agree to exchange, then I am willing to try to treat your father. If the treatment didn't work, then the agreement wouldn't work for one day. "How about it?"

When Long Feiye heard this, he froze on the spot, and after a while, he rushed over in disbelief, "You …" Do you really have a way? "

Ling Xiao didn't want to die, so he said: "I'll just try my best."

In fact, to the extent that only he could hear, Gayaro had already been picky about this little Martial Cultivator who dared to doubt his ability.

Even so, it was enough to make Long Yirann, who ran all over the place for his father's disease without making any progress, tremble in excitement.

He could only desperately nod his head.

Even if Ling Xiao wanted his life, he would not hesitate to offer it up.

As long as he could save his father, he was willing to pay any price!
