1371 Four-Armed Clan, Prime Emperor Lan Ji
“When are we meeting?” Sheng Xiao asked.
Yu Huang said, “Tomorrow night.”
“I’ll go tomorrow night.” Sheng Xiao did not dare to see Prime Emperor Yu Tian without knowing his true colors first.
Who knew if the other party was a wolf in sheep’s clothing or not?
!!Seeing that Sheng Xiao agreed, Yu Huang said hesitantly, “I think we should forget it. Prime Emperor Yu Tian has lived for more than a thousand years. If he really has ulterior motives towards us, if we go, we will be walking into a lion’s den.”
They only had one life, so it was better to be careful.
“I’m prepared.” Sheng Xiao smiled mysteriously.
Yu Huang looked at him suspiciously and asked in confusion, “You mean…”
“Have you forgotten that when we were in Ascension Town, we received a promise from Senior Lan Ji’s father because we successfully helped Senior Lan Yuan overcome her emotional trauma?” After Sheng Xiao took out a Prime Emperor Jade Token from his interspatial ring, he stuffed the jade token into Yu Huang’s palm. Then, Sheng Xiao said, “Tomorrow, we’ll bring Senior Lan Ji along.”
As Yu Huang held the warm jade pendant, she felt a little more at ease, but she was still worried. “Is Prime Emperor Lan Ji willing to help us with this? Why don’t you ask him first? Perhaps he’s busy or in seclusion and can’t come out?”
“I’ll ask.” Sheng Xiao continued, “If he’s not free, look for Prime Emperor Linfeng. Don’t forget that Prime Emperor Linfeng also owes us a favor.” In order to find his brother, Ji Linyuan, the Vermillion Bird Clan’s Prime Emperor Linfeng had asked Prime Master Chengwen to ask Yu Huang for help.
Although Yu Huang was unable to help him find Ji Linyuan’s whereabouts, Prime Emperor Linfeng still left them a Prime Emperor Token and promised to help them.
Prime Emperor Lan Ji was Sheng Xiao’s first choice, while Prime Emperor Linfeng was his backup.
Upon hearing this, Yu Huang felt completely at ease.
“Let’s look for Prime Emperor Lan Ji first.” Yu Huang did not have a good impression of the Vermillion Bird Clan’s Prime Emperor Linfeng. She said with a sly expression, “When we encounter a truly dangerous and desperate situation in the future, we’ll look for Prime Emperor Linfeng.” The most unlikable person naturally had to help them do the most difficult and tiring work.
“Naughty.” After Sheng Xiao flicked Yu Huang’s glabella, Yu Huang groaned in pain and Sheng Xiao took the Prime Emperor Jade Token from her hand.
Sheng Xiao injected his spiritual energy into the Prime Emperor Jade Token and successfully activated the Prime Emperor spiritual consciousness sealed in the jade token.
At the same time, in the distant Four-Armed Clan, a small blue loudspeaker suddenly appeared in front of a tall and st.u.r.dy four-armed old man.
Staring at the small loudspeaker, Prime Emperor Lan Ji narrowed his eyes as he said thoughtfully, “Who could it be…”
After hesitating for a moment, Prime Emperor Lan Ji pressed the small horn.
When he pressed the honk, in the distant deserted island, Sheng Xiao suddenly realized that the jade pendant in his hand was shining with a dark blue light. Then, an unfamiliar and deep old voice sounded. “May I know who you are?”
Prime Emperor Lan Ji had handed out very few Prime Emperor Jade Tokens in his life. Everyone who had obtained his Prime Emperor Jade Token was someone who had done him a huge favor. Therefore, when Prime Emperor Lan Ji spoke to Sheng Xiao, he subconsciously restrained his aura and tried not to show his might as a Prime Emperor.
Sheng Xiao knew that Prime Emperor Lan Ji was an old man who meant what he said. “Prime Emperor Lan Ji, I’m Sheng Xiao.” Sheng Xiao greeted him respectfully and explained his encounter with Madam Lan Yuan.
Then, Sheng Xiao asked in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, “I wonder if Prime Emperor Lan Ji still remembers Sheng Xiao from Ascension Town?”
“Haha, so it’s Sheng Xiao.” Lan Ji seemed happy. From his reaction, not only did he remember Sheng Xiao’s ident.i.ty, but he also had a deep impression of him.
Even in the Four-Armed Clan, Lan Ji had heard about Sheng Xiao’s performance in the intercontinental finals. Now, Sheng Xiao’s fame in the Cang Lang Continent was comparable to Zhan Wuya’s. Not to mention that Sheng Xiao was indebted to his daughter, even if he was not indebted to him, he would not refuse Sheng Xiao’s request for help.
Anyone with eyes could tell that Sheng Xiao would do big things in the future, so it was wise to form a good relationship with him before he achieved success.
Therefore, before Sheng Xiao could ask, Lan Ji took the initiative to ask, “Sheng Xiao, did you encounter trouble? If you need any help, just ask. I will rush over as soon as possible and help you solve the problem! You helped my daughter overcome her misery, and I’m worried that I won’t have the chance to repay such a huge favor.”
Upon hearing his words, Sheng Xiao knew Prime Emperor Lan Ji’s att.i.tude and he felt relieved. “It’s like this, Prime Emperor Lan Ji. Tomorrow, I will go to the Blue Serene Sea with a few friends, but we are cautious about this trip…” Sheng Xiao told Lan Ji about his appointment with Prime Emperor Yu Tian.
After hearing this, Lan Jie chuckled and said, “You want me to support you, right? No problem, just wait. Let’s meet at the entrance of the Blue Serene Sea at five o’clock tomorrow afternoon!”
Upon hearing this, Sheng Xiao was very grateful. “Thank you, Sir. I will wait for you tomorrow.”
“You’re too kind. I’m extremely grateful to you for helping my daughter overcome her emotional trauma and completely cut ties with that b.a.s.t.a.r.d.” Lan Yuan was despised for her ugly appearance, but in the eyes of a father, Lan Yuan was a supreme treasure.
He was grateful to Sheng Xiao for his help to his daughter.
“See you tomorrow then.” After Prime Emperor Lan Ji removed the loudspeaker, he pursed his lips and looked up at the tallest ancient tree outside the villa as he said thoughtfully, “Prime Emperor Yu Tian… hasn’t this fellow been in seclusion for many years? Why did he suddenly come out and contact Sheng Xiao?”
The Cang Lang Continent was indeed vast and there were many experts on the continent, but there weren’t many true Prime Emperor big shots. Most of the Prime Emperor powerhouses knew each other and had their own contact methods.
Lan Ji was not familiar with Prime Master Yu Tian, but they would call each other by their honorific names and greet each other politely upon meeting.
They had only met five to six times, but from the few times they had met, Prime Emperor Yu Tian was not a sinister and treacherous person. However, people were good at pretending. Who knew what Prime Emperor Yu Tian was hiding?
Since Sheng Xiao was wary of Prime Emperor Yu Tian, he had his reasons.
Since Lan Ji had promised to help Sheng Xiao with something and Sheng Xiao had taken the initiative to ask for help, Lan Ji would not reject him. “I’m going out tomorrow. If Yuan’er comes back and asks, tell her that I went to see her benefactor from Ascension Town.”
When the old butler heard Prime Emperor Lan Ji’s instructions, he hurriedly asked, “When will you come back?”
“I don’t know.”
Prime Emperor Lan Ji waved his hand in frustration and strode back to his room.
