BXBX NOVEL Chapter 328 - Exchange
However, her thought process was broken through when Fan Ping suddenly snapped his finger.
A cracking sound occurred, and the large red carpet was sliced into multiple pieces.
"You-"
"Don\'t act surprised, Qian Xurong. Did you think I would forget your true personality after a thousand years?" Fan Ping sneered wickedly.
"Either we make a deal fairly or we can both suffer the consequences," he added.
Qian Xurong gnashed her teeth as she sat back down on her throne.
Now that the formation she had hidden secretly was detected by Fan Ping, she could no longer hope to cage them.
"Tch, as annoying as ever, Fan Ping." Qian Xurong clicked her tongue in annoyance.
Fan Ping chuckled softly at her comment.
"I\'ll take that as a compliment, Qian Xurong," he said.
Sometime later, Qian Xurong glanced at Yang Wei with a solemn expression.
"Yang Wei, speak, what do you want from this majesty?" Qian Xurong asked.
Yang Wei was about to open his mouth to speak but stopped himself.
\'Hmm, the item that Senior Fan Ping offered must have been extremely important to Qian Xurong. If I simply asked for the prisoners in exchange then wouldn\'t I lose out a lot?\' He thought.
Sometime later, Yang Wei decided to send a mental transmission to Fan Ping.
"Senior Fan Ping, what is that item used for?"
"Hmm, the item is useless to us but for Qian Xurong, this item is extremely priceless."
"Is it worth exchanging that item for a few prisoners?"
Fan Ping pondered for a few moments.
"Forget it, Yang Wei. I owed Qian Xurong some debt of gratitude back then so it\'s best that we don\'t ask for more." Fan Ping said mentally.
Hearing Fan Ping\'s words, and his clear reluctance in revealing himself, Yang Wei could only nod his head.
There should have been a reason why Fan Ping didn\'t wish to reveal himself unless it was the last resort.
Thus, Yang Wei didn\'t try to pry further as he tilted his head and glanced at Qian Xurong.
"Your Majesty," Yang Wei cupped his fist as he explained his condition.
"I wish to have all the recent prisoners you captured since they have a use for me. Not to mention, we have a grudge to pay."
Qian Xurong took some time to think before nodding her head.
"Very well then, those mere prisoners don\'t account too much if I consider the item that Fan Ping is offering…" She said as she waved her sleeve.
A gust of wind was created, and a few seconds later, Fang Xifeng reappeared out of thin air.
"Did you call for this servant, Your Majesty?" Fang Xifeng knelt on one knee as she asked Qian Xurong.
"Un, bring all the recently captured prisoners we have so far over here."
Fang Xifeng gasped in surprise.
\'A-All of the recent prisoners? J-J-Just what did that shameless Yang Wei have in his hand, to be able to bargain with her majesty?\' She wondered silently.
"Fang Xifeng, why are you still kneeling?" Qian Xurong asked when she saw her remain in a daze.
"T-This servant shall head over to the prison area now," Fang Xifeng stuttered as she quickly vanished from sight.
Meanwhile, Qian Xurong glanced at Fan Ping as she extended her hand.
"The item, please," She asked.
"Can\'t we wait till the transaction happens simultaneously?" Fan Ping asked.
Qian Xurong shook her head.
"You know my personality. I never go back on my words once promised, unlike you who easily renege their promise." She spat in disgust.
Fan Ping twitched his mouth.
Not willing to have his past exposed any further in front of Yang Wei, Fan Ping decided to throw the box-looking item toward her.
With a swoosh, the box-looking item soon landed on her hand as she showed a gentle smile.
"Finally- after a long time, this item is finally in my hand," Qian Xurong mumbled as she held the box-looking item with a gentle expression.
"Tch, if it weren\'t because I have known you for a long time. I would have thought you made love with it." Fan Ping teased.
However, there was practically zero response from Qian Xurong as she focused completely on the box-looking item.
The atmosphere became awkward with Qian Xurong being mesmerized and forgetting about her surroundings.
"Psst, just what is inside that item?" Yang Wei asked Fan Ping in a low tone. "It was like I\'m looking at a different person now, compared to before."
He couldn\'t help but become curious as to what kind of item could make a person as majestic as Qian Xurong lose her cool completely.
"It\'s nothing much, Yang Wei. That item is something that would propel her cultivation to a new height- one that you can not even begin to imagine." Fan Ping said with a somewhat mysterious smile.
Yang Wei clicked his tongue in annoyance.
Everything was so secretive and mysterious for no reason.
Would it hurt to reveal a little bit of information instead of giving some vague answer?
Fan Ping\'s response was akin to speaking nothing at all since there wasn\'t enough clue to make sense of.
\'You will understand it in due time, Yang Wei. Not telling you right now is going to do you better than knowing it,\' Fan Ping thought.
Sometime later, the door was opened, and a loud chattering could soon be heard.
"How dare you treat me like this? I have you know, I\'m a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator and have multiple connections with other strong people."
Instantly, Yang Wei could hear a familiar voice- one that belonged to none other than Elder Chen Xue.
\'A senile old man is really a senile old man. Even now, he still expects his so-called connection to matter here.\' Yang Wei laughed inwardly.
"Shut up and keep walking before I snip your manhood," Fang Xifeng suddenly shouted as she dragged the prisoners faster that were being chained.
