Chapter 173 The East Sea Spirit Pearl is a Bait
Li Batian thought for a moment, "What are your requests? What benefits will it bring to me?"
Ian said he was quite sensible, stood up and helped him up from the ground, then took out a pill:
"Eat this."
He smiled bitterly and thought: After being so powerful all my life, I ended up being controlled by others. It's a pity that I have no choice.
He took the pill and swallowed it in one gulp, "Huh? This isn't poison?"
He only felt that his internal injuries were healing rapidly and his tendons and bones were slowly being reconnected.
Ian smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will only be honest with my friends. I said I just want to find an ally. If you join the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce, you will be my friend. What are the benefits? That depends on your performance.
Normally, you just do your job and I won't interfere, but when we need you, you must help us with all your strength.
The most important thing is not to reveal any information about me."
"That's it? Why didn't you tell me earlier and beat me half to death and then scare me again?"
……
City Lord's Mansion.
Everyone looked at the two people returning, Ian was in front and Li Batian was half a step behind. There was no sign of any friction between the two, but something seemed wrong.
The result was obvious, Ian won. At this time, Situ Gaofei truly saw Ian's strength. His realm was at most slightly higher than Li Batian's.
At this moment, he showed more enthusiasm than before. After all, Ian saved his precious daughter and gave her a priceless pill!
Ian didn't want to stay here any longer, so he stood up and said:
"Miss Wan'er, it's getting late. We'll leave first. Goodbye!"
"Okay, big brother, can you bind the sound transmission stone to me?"
Ian nodded, took out the sound stone and bound it to her.
Lan Yanfeng also came over shamelessly, "Miss Wan'er, please help me bind it too!"
Wan'er shook her head, "Sorry, I usually have things to do with my brother, not with you!"
He thought that after giving such a good thing away, it should not be difficult to get the contact information, but who knew that the girl would not buy it. But think about it, the gift was not asked for by others, but he had to give it to them...
Ian looked at the dusty Lan Yanfeng and smiled:
"Brother Lan, don't worry about it. You'll get to know each other better in the future. There will be plenty of opportunities. How about we go for a drink?"
He looked at Wan'er and then at Ian, "Okay!"
The three of them walked out and randomly found a restaurant. Seeing his depressed face, Ian shook his head and said, "Brother Lan should be able to see that Wan'er is different from others. It's not that money or gifts can win her favor. Besides, you have only known each other for a short time!"
"Ah... haven't you heard of love at first sight? I've been deeply fascinated by her since I first saw her. Forget it, let's talk about it later. By the way, were you the one in Room No. 9 at the Huanglong Inn last time?"
Ian was stunned, caught off guard by the sudden question, "It's me!"
"Haha, don't be nervous. Don't come here secretly. You made me think I was being chased by my enemy."
"Are you looking for me too?"
"Haha, yes, you were exactly looking for the person who won the East China Sea Spirit Pearl, but it seems I found the wrong person."
"I told you that you are not short of money at all. How could you be so poor as to sell off the family treasure? Tell me, what can I help you with?"
"How did you know I needed help?"
Ian said unhappily:
"Isn't this obvious? You sell the stuff and then look for buyers. If not to lure someone out, what else could it be?"
"That's right, brother. Although this East Sea Spirit Pearl is very helpful to our family and is also a symbol, it has little effect on others. How about you give it up and sell it back to me?"
Ian said tentatively, "That won't work. This thing was wanted by a friend of my Lan family, and I've already given it to her."
"The Lan family? Are you talking about someone from our main family?"
Ian nodded.
"Hurry, take me there. I'm going to find them to sell this thing."
Ian waved his hand, "No hurry, tell me what's going on first?"
"Okay, it's okay to tell you. The Lan family of Donghai encountered a life-and-death crisis for the entire family a year ago. Fortunately, the head of the Donghai family had already divined, so he made certain preparations in advance. If this crisis cannot be resisted head-on, a backup plan will be activated, and I am one of them. Now there are still some members of the family hiding in a special space. In more than two years, that space will disappear, and I will go to find the head of the family to report the news and ask for help.
The Lan family has been in seclusion for a long time, and it is not easy to find them. We only know that they are in the Western Continent.
Because they live in seclusion, they will not casually participate in the affairs of the outside world. If this East Sea Spirit Pearl is taken to the main city, it may be even more difficult to find them, so we can only try our luck here."
"Do you know who the enemy is?"
"I don't know. I was arranged to leave a long time ago. I am not in the clan. After I heard about what happened to my family, I quickly set off to the Western Continent."
Ian nodded. "Brother Lan's array formations are unpredictable and he has profound attainments, but array formations are rarely seen in the world. Where did you learn them from?"
"Hahaha, I know you have doubts. It was just an opportunity when I was a child. At that time, I accidentally entered a special space at the bottom of the East China Sea and obtained a formation inheritance in it, so I changed to practicing formations. Otherwise, how could I take out the East China Sea Spirit Pearl for auction?"
"Okay, I get it. Leave this to me! I'll help you find the Lan family."
"Really?"
"It's just a small matter. My friend is from the Lan family! So, how about I let you know the result later?"
"Okay, let's also bind the sound transmission stone so that it will be easier to communicate!"
A few of them chatted for a while and then separated.
It was already dark when we returned to the Chamber of Commerce. Selina said:
"It seems that the Lan family of Donghai is in dire straits!"
Ian tilted his head and asked, "Nana, do you feel that this matter is a little weird but you can't put your finger on it?"
Selina thought about it and shook her head.
"Forget it, let's contact Pearl first." Ian took out the voice stone.
"Pearl, Pearll..."
"Brother Ian, I'm here!"
"How's it going with you over there?"
"Brother Pang, Brother Xinghun and I returned last night. Everything is normal at home, but the appearance of the East Sea Spirit Pearl is unusual. Tomorrow, the elders of the clan will preside over the divination ceremony for the East Sea branch and we will know the situation."
Ian told Pei'er about his conversation with Brother Lan Yanfeng today, and told her that in order not to affect the divination results, he should wait until the divination results come out tomorrow before telling her for comparison and reference.
There was nothing required for them to do here, so the two of them rushed back to Shuanglong Ridge overnight. The training could not be stopped. They wondered if the more than 200 people had been slacking off.
