Chapter 1801: Chapter 1798: Probing
Dao Chengzi nodded and said, "Thatās right, if our Canglan Commerce can obtain this Token, and manage to secure the assistance of that mysterious organization, our Canglan Commerce will defeat other merchant associations and become the premier association in the Ancient Ruins."
Saying this, Dao Chengziās eyes showed an excited look, "I think even if thereās a sliver of hope, it is worth giving it a try!"
The Head of Cheng Family furrowed his brow lightly, "This is indeed a rare opportunity, but if the cost is too high, it wouldnāt be worth it. After all, there isnāt conclusive evidence of this news yet!"
"Fortune favors the bold!" Dao Chengzi said with a hint of madness, "When the time comes, I will naturally confirm the authenticity of this news; if it is true..."
"Then we will obtain that Token at any cost!" the Head of Cheng Family said gravely, "President Dao Chengzi, please be sure to confirm the authenticity of this news!"
"Certainly!" Dao Chengzi sighed with relief and said, "At that time, I will also discuss this matter with the Head of Cheng Family! Oh, yes, there is one more small matter I want to tell the Head of Cheng Family!"
Dao Chengzi chuckled and said, "Just now, people from the Storm Sect suspected that the person they are pursuing is hiding on our airship. For the sake of the Canglan Commerceās reputation, I didnāt hand over the person the Storm Sect was looking for; that person is still on the airship, but now their whereabouts are missing. If the Head of Cheng Family discovers anything, please capture them immediately!"
Cheng Qianjunās brow furrowed slightly, "There is such a thing? This is simply too abominable. Rest assured, Vice President, if the members of the Cheng family discover that person, we will definitely capture them!"
"Thatās a relief for me!" Dao Chengzi said with a smile, "Then I shall not disturb the Head of Cheng Family any longer!"
"Please!"
...
When Dao Chengzi left Cheng Qianjunās room, the smile on his face quickly turned cold. After Qi Song confirmed, the person taken by Cheng Minxue was the same person he had previously dealt with, which means the person the Storm Sect is looking for is right here with the Head of Cheng Family.
However, the Head of Cheng Family did not tell Dao Chengzi about this, which very likely means the Cheng family is also aware of that personās identity.
"Could it be that the Cheng family also wants a share of the pie?" Dao Chengziās mind was quite unsettled; he felt like he was making wedding attire for someone else, which was truly unpleasant.
"Hmph, I refuse to believe you can stay in the Cheng family forever!" Dao Chengzi thought to himself, "Once you leave the influence of the Cheng family, I will capture you immediately. How much of the Storm Sectās treasure did you actually get?"
The Head of Cheng Family also furrowed his brow; despite what Dao Chengzi said, the Head of Cheng Family sharply sensed that Dao Chengziās true objective was Ling Feng!
"Why does even Dao Chengzi want to capture Ling Feng? This is truly peculiar!" thought the Head of Cheng Family, "But with my family here, no one can touch even a strand of Ling Fengās hair!"
Entering the back room, Ling Feng and Cheng Minxue felt a little awkward; the room had just the two of them, and Cheng Minxue couldnāt help but feel a bit shy thinking about her previous actions.
If Ling Feng really were a weathered middle-aged man, Cheng Minxue wouldnāt have thought so much, but now Ling Feng was a handsome gentleman who was also the person the Cheng family had been wanting to find, naturally making Cheng Minxue a bit excited.
Seeing the inexplicable blush on Cheng Minxueās face, Ling Feng was puzzled, was it a bit warm in here?
"Um..." Ling Feng decided to break this awkward atmosphere himself, "Miss Cheng Minxue, could you tell me why others canāt hear this song or understand it? Though Iāve learned a little, Iām still a bit puzzled!"
Cheng Minxue said, "Iām not very clear about the specific reason, but my father said the language taught by our benefactor carries a bit of Soul Power!"
"Soul Power?" Ling Feng asked with some surprise.
"Exactly!" Cheng Minxue said, "Only specific souls can perceive this language, thus perceiving this song! My father once speculated that perhaps the benefactor wanted to find his clan using this method!"
With a rumbling sound, Ling Fengās mind thundered; searching for his clan? If the Head of Cheng Familyās guess was true, doesnāt that mean their so-called benefactor comes from the same place as Ling Feng, from Earth?
"A warrior wielding dual axes..." The name of a person surfaced in Ling Fengās mind, could it be the great Pangu?
After all, in Huaxia mythology, Pangu is known for wielding a giant axe, separating chaos and forming heaven and earth, thus creating the world!
If that person is indeed an Earthling, then it could very likely be Pangu! Moreover, didnāt Senior Mystic Lady also mention that Pangu entered the Ancient Ruins? Doesnāt it all match up?
Ling Feng was extremely excited in his heart, but he didnāt show it on his face.
"Itās possible!" Ling Feng nodded and said.
"Big Brother Feng, could you tell me about your world?" Cheng Minxue asked curiously, "If you and our benefactor come from the same world, what is that world like?"
Ling Feng smiled and said, "Itās still uncertain if I and your benefactor come from the same world, and thereās not much to say about my world. Iām more curious about why your Cheng family is so invested in the benefactor who saved your entire world!"
"Because our Cheng family is part of the Royal Family of our world!" Cheng Minxue replied straightforwardly, "As a member of the Royal Family, we must always remember the great benevolence and virtue the benefactor showed to our entire world!"
Ling Feng said in surprise, "I didnāt expect you to be a Princess, my apologies!"
Cheng Minxue chuckled bitterly, "What kind of Princess is worth anything in the Ancient Ruins? After all, there are numerous Small Worlds in each Plane here, and there are no fewer than dozens of Princesses in each Small World!"
Ling Feng smiled; Cheng Minxue doesnāt seem as cold as the rumors suggest.
"Miss Cheng Minxue..."
"Youāre being too formal!" Cheng Minxue interrupted Ling Feng, "Iāve already called you Big Brother Feng, so just call me Xueer; thatās what my family calls me!"
Ling Fengās mouth twitched, but truthfully, Cheng Minxueās age might not necessarily be younger than his. However, age is a forbidden topic for beauties, so Ling Feng didnāt rudely ask.
"Then Iāll call you Xueer!" Ling Feng smiled and said, "I wonder where the next stop for this airship is, will it pass through the Ximen Familyās territory?"
