Chapter 325 Familiar Faces, New Friends, Unexpected Joy

After breakfast, Eric, as planned, went to find a place to sell the stolen goods.

Of course, it was already agreed with Nicholas last night, so Eric only needs to pick up the goods today.

However, if you're going to act, you have to go all the way and not let Jing Feiwan see through your act.

"If she finds out I went to a place like that, the next time I get physical therapy, it might not just be flesh and blood that gets cut open—"

Xiao Yun muttered to himself, when he suddenly felt Jing Feiwan casting a glance at him.

"Hmm? Why do you seem a little guilty?"

Jing Feiwan looked at him with a half-smile.

She immediately recognized the sleeping pills Eric had given her last night and guessed that the two of them must have done something, but she didn't know exactly what they had done.

Xiao Yun remained calm and composed, saying lightly, "You're mistaken. I get the feeling you're trying to cover something up."

You're mistaken.

Jing Feiwan responded calmly and looked away.

Neither of them delved into the matter, since they had both been doing things behind each other's backs the previous night.

Silence soon fell on the small boat, with only the sound of the boatman manipulating his magic to create turbulent currents remaining.

Soon, the small boat stopped in front of a workshop.

The workshop is located in a rather remote area, on the edge of Harbour City.

It's quite large, about the size of two basketball courts, and consists of simple brick and tile houses. The modern Eastern style is interwoven with a fantastical Western style, creating a unique atmosphere.

The outer layer was covered by a runic shield and some miscellaneous alchemical arrays, which were probably used to maintain the normal operation of the workshop.

There were many alchemical golems at the entrance. Sensing the two approaching, they all moved, their crimson eyes filled with warning.

"I am Jing Feiwan, a friend of the Hermit Lady."

Jing Feiwan picked up a stone engraved with runes and shook it, and the alchemical golem's hostility disappeared.

The runic shield slowly parted, revealing a gap, and the workshop door slowly opened as well.

"Looks like he's still at home."

Jing Feiwan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xiao Yun: "This hermit is a very strong alchemist, she has already reached the sixth sequence, and several guilds are helping her collect resources. Only she could possibly buy such a high-level resource as an A+ grade skill—Xiao Yun, Xiao Yun? Are you even listening to me?"

The dazed look in Xiao Yun's eyes disappeared. He nodded and said with a smile, "Ah, oh, that would be perfect."

Seeing his perfunctory attitude, Jing Feiwan couldn't help but frown.

"It's such an important matter, yet you're so absent-minded. Sigh... Oh well, at least I'm here with you, sister."

Jing Feiwan led Xiao Yun into the workshop, reminding him along the way: "Remember to speak less and be more respectful. The Hermit is very cold-hearted and doesn't like men talking nonsense in front of him."

""

Xiao Yun nodded with a smile: "I understand, I promise I won't say a word for a while."

Soon, a vast hall came into view.

The outer perimeter of the hall is lined with bookshelves, while the inner open space is completely surrounded by instruments.

Various runes, like elves, weaved through the space, carrying manuscripts, experimental materials, and alchemical artifacts.

"She's definitely gotten stronger, this girl—"

Xiao Yun nodded slightly and looked at the girl in the center who was concentrating on her research at the control panel.

Her brows still held an almost indifferent calmness, and her taut eyes and bloodshot eyes were full of fatigue, but her eyes were frighteningly bright.

"Tsk, still so competitive. Even research needs rest."

Xiao Yun frowned slightly, revealing a hint of displeasure.

"Um?"

Qin Yuqing exclaimed in surprise, snapping out of her research.

She looked up, glancing in confusion at Xiao Yun standing next to Jing Feiwan.

She couldn't recall this unfamiliar face at all; she had never seen this guy before.

However, that fleeting glance just now seemed familiar.

He looks exactly like that annoying guy.

"Wanwan, who is he?"

Qin Yuqing asked.

"My new male concubine is named Gu Yun."

Jing Feiwan paused, a teasing look appearing on her face: "What, you've got your eye on it? You can have it."

Qin Yuqing shook her head and said calmly, "No, I was just curious. You always said you had male concubines, but you've never had a man by your side."

"Ahem, you just didn't know that before."

"7

Jing Feiwan avoided eye contact and quickly changed the subject.

"I have an A+ level skill here, see if you can help me sell it."

As she spoke, she took out the [Touch of the Ocean] skill book and placed it in front of Qin Yuqing.

"What do you take this place for, some kind of stock exchange?"

Qin Yuqing pouted, but considering her best friend relationship and the value of the A+ level skill, she still picked it up and examined it carefully for a while.

Her handsome brows furrowed and then relaxed, finally taking on a somewhat solemn look.

"A very powerful skill, and its effectiveness is more than doubled when used in combat at sea."

95

As she spoke, she glanced at the octopus hanging around Jing Feiwan's neck and raised her head slightly: "If you sell me the matching accessories as well, I'll sell everything I own to get them."

Jing Feiwan gripped the octopus warily and shook her head: "No, I really like this accessory, I'm not selling it."

"Oh----"

Qin Yuqing chuckled softly, glancing at Xiao Yun beside her, her eyes darting between the two of them.

Xiao Yun lowered his head and pretended to be dead, afraid that this girl with keen intuition would actually see through something.

Fortunately, Qin Yuqing quickly looked away and said, "In that case, it will be difficult."

"Of course, single skills are also very valuable, but everyone I know has recently upgraded their equipment skills, and I've also emptied my savings for the workshop construction, so I don't have that many resources to exchange for them."

"I see—"

Jing Fei nodded without hesitation and reached for the skill book.

It's okay if Qin Yuqing doesn't accept it here. There are several large chambers of commerce in Harbour City. You can try going there. At most, you'll get fewer resources in exchange.

Just as she touched the skill book, Qin Yuqing reached out and pressed her down.

"Wait a minute, I haven't finished yet."

As Qin Yuqing picked up her phone, she said, "Coincidentally, I know a guy who loves this skill. He's also in Harbour City, so I can sell it to him."

Jing Feiwan looked puzzled and asked curiously, "Who is it?"

"You know him too? He's a very famous guy, the one known as the Great Philanthropist of the Sea of ​​No Points."

"Oh, it's him. What's he doing here?"

"Who knows? Maybe they heard there were goblins causing trouble at the nearby Senlong Harbor and are going to rescue them—"

The two chatted enthusiastically, while Xiao Yun was getting impatient.

"Who the hell is this? Explain yourself!"

Xiao Yun felt ants crawling all over his body.

Just as he was about to ask further questions, a voice suddenly came from the front door.

"Good morning, Hermit Lady. I heard you've found the skill I need?"

It was a clear male voice, his words carrying a sunny smile.

Just hearing that voice makes you feel close to it.

Without even looking back, Xiao Yun could imagine the image of a sunny, gentle, and handsome man.

Sure enough, a tall paladin soon stood beside him.

This gray-haired youth was two heads taller than Xiao Yun, but he didn't seem intimidating; in fact, he seemed quite reliable.

Even when facing two complete strangers, the gray-haired youth greeted them warmly: "Oh, good morning, my two new friends. You can call me Robert."

Robert paused for a moment, then said, "You two are from the East, right? Perfect, I just learned how to greet people from the East."

He cleared his throat and said in broken Chinese, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Pfft—"

—"

Seeing his comical performance, Jing Feiwan couldn't help but laugh out loud: "I've eaten, thank you very much, Robert."

Robert looked at Xiao Yun with a questioning expression.

Xiao Yun nodded with a smile, which was considered a response.

Having been terrified of being tricked by a scoundrel like Gu Shen, he was wary of guys who were overly enthusiastic and approachable.

But somehow, when faced with Robert, he couldn't doubt the guy's sincerity.

"An interesting guy—"

Xiao Yun's eyes flickered, and he continued to observe secretly.

The subsequent transaction went smoothly, with both parties showing great sincerity.

"I'm very satisfied with this skill. What items would you two like to exchange?"

Robert said with a smile, and before Jing Feiwan could answer, he suddenly waved his hand.

Hoo-la-hoo-la—

Various resources fell like rain, quickly covering the ground.

"Please choose whichever you like, both of you."

Jing Feiwan smiled and said, "Well, I actually want to take them all."

"No problem, take it."

Robert didn't hesitate at all; he even started helping with the packing.

Jing Feiwan was taken aback, then sighed softly, "The greatest philanthropist in the Sea of ​​No Points—"

Xiao Yun's expression was also somewhat strange.

This guy doesn't seem to be faking it, nor is he genuinely gentle and considerate.

It seems like he's just plain stupid.

"Thank you, Robert, but we don't need that many."

Jing Feiwan said apologetically, and then, following Xiao Yun's instructions, pointed to a gem box among the resources scattered on the ground.

The moment Robert took something out, Xiao Yun sensed a familiar fluctuation emanating from the box.

Confirmed by the forecast system, it is indeed another twin flower of life!

"That's all we need."

Robert looked in the direction she pointed and picked up the box.

"Oh, it's this flower. No problem, it's yours."

He shoved the box into Jing Feiwan's arms, then suddenly rested his chin on his hand and pondered, "Hmm, you should need something like this that's full of vitality and spirituality, right? Well then, these are for you too."

As he spoke, he picked and chose from the ground and stuffed a large pile into Jing Feiwan's arms.

This extravagant gesture astonished Xiao Yun, who looked at him with unwavering approval: "Indeed, there are no wrong nicknames, only wrong names."

Regardless of whether this guy was faking it or not, Xiao Yun had already labeled him a good person in his mind.

Robert only stopped when Jing Feiwan refused with a wry smile.

"Then, let's meet again on the journey ahead."

"By the way, you can contact me on the dark web if you need help; I'll cover the communication costs."

Robert smiled, waved, and hurried away.

"People like this are really rare these days —"

Jing Feiwan sighed, greeted Qin Yuqing, and pulled Xiao Yun to leave.

Her backpack was filled with so many good things that she felt a little uneasy.

"etc."

Qin Yuqing suddenly called out to her and handed her a piece of paper: "This is a medicine I developed that can enhance the spirit and nourish the soul."

As she spoke, she glanced at Xiao Yun almost imperceptibly.

"I think you'll find it useful."

Xiao Yun's pupils trembled almost imperceptibly as he accepted the formula before Jing Feiwan could reach out.

"Thanks."

He spoke in his own voice.

Qin Yuqing shuddered slightly, then waved her hand dismissively, immersing herself in her research.

Only after the two figures disappeared did she exhale and relax her hand, which had almost broken the carving knife in two.

Runes flew through the workshop, turning the once tidy space into chaos in an instant.

"Ugh, so annoying!"
