The Portal of Wonderland

In order to be able to see Shi Mu as soon as possible, Zhong Xiu didn't think too much about Xu Luzi's request, and agreed without hesitation.

Then someone brought Zhong Xiu to the residence of a chamber of commerce and settled down.

After Zhong Xiu waited quietly for a while, under the arrangement of Tianwu Chamber of Commerce, he boarded a huge boat in the vast sea and embarked on a journey to Xihe Continent.

During the voyage of the giant boat, Zhong Xiu met a mysterious figure who claimed to be the president of the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce, and took out an agreement.

What was agreed in it was exactly what Xu Luzi mentioned before.

Since then, Zhong Xiu officially became a member of the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce in a somewhat confused situation.

Because the opponent's whole body was shrouded in a hazy golden light, Zhong Xiu didn't see clearly what the so-called president looked like.

Xiu'er, do you mean that you need to serve the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce for fifty years before you can leave? Shi Mu couldn't help frowning after hearing Zhong Xiu's narration.

Yes, it's just that I was too impatient and didn't pay close attention. Zhong Xiu said in a low voice.

Xiu'er, you don't need to blame yourself. If it wasn't for looking for me, you wouldn't have to suffer like this. In the end, it's all my fault. Shi Mu said.

Brother Shi, how can I blame you! Now that I can find you, I am very satisfied and very happy. Maybe it is God's will in the dark, if it is not for joining the chamber of commerce, maybe you and I will not know when we will meet. Zhong Xiu said.

That's what I said, but the forces behind the Wu Chamber of Commerce today always make me feel unpredictable. To be honest, I don't feel at ease. Shi Mu pondered for a while, and said so.

Brother Shi, the chamber of commerce... Zhong Xiu said.

I want to redeem you. Shi Mu directly interrupted Zhong Xiu's words and said so.

Redemption?

Zhong Xiu was slightly startled, but then said helplessly:

Brother Shi's kindness, Xiu'er understands. If possible, I would like to leave the chamber of commerce right now and leave this right and wrong place with Brother Shi, but...

But what? Shi Mu asked.

The contract doesn't seem to mention the possibility of leaving the Chamber of Commerce early, and I'm afraid only the president himself can cancel the power of the contract. Zhong Xiu shook his head and said.

Then let's go to the president, where can we find him? Shi Mu asked.

I don't know either. According to some seniors of the chamber of commerce, the president is a wandering man who comes and goes without a trace. The people in the chamber can only pass on the token message given by the chamber of commerce to him, but he doesn't see him. He must be able to respond, let alone show up. When the agreement was signed, I remember he said that he would show up as scheduled when the contract expired fifty years later. Zhong Xiu said with a sigh.

Is there no other way? Shi Mu frowned.

By the way, I remembered! I once heard an elder mention it inadvertently. Generally, when someone makes great contributions to the chamber of commerce, or has important personnel appointments, such as when someone is promoted to the official elder of the chamber of commerce, the president will appear. After pondering for a while, Zhong Xiu suddenly remembered something.

Make a great contribution... Shi Mu murmured thoughtfully.

Brother Shi, don't think about it for now. There will always be a way. If it doesn't work, I will wait fifty years. As long as I can be with you, Xiu'er will have no regrets in this life. Zhong Xiu comforted.

Hearing this, Shi Mu sighed slightly, and hugged Zhong Xiu into his arms.

At that moment, the bodies of both of them trembled, and in an instant they were enveloped by a natural calm.

Zhong Xiu recalled everything about the two of them when they were young, from the time when they first met, to the time when they practiced separately, and now they are dependent on each other, a little sweetness surged in their hearts.

Xiu'er, you and I are able to get together today, which is not in vain of Uncle Zhong's entrustment. Shi Mu said with some emotion.

Maybe it's God's will... Brother Shi, no matter where you go in the future, I will follow you. Zhong Xiu said softly.

Shi Mu lovingly touched Zhong Xiu's soft long hair, suddenly thought of something, and asked:

By the way, Xiu'er, I have recorded the matter of the Winged Crane Division and the Mingyue Sect conspiring to rob on the jade slip before, and asked someone to send it to you in advance. Why are you not prepared at all?

What did you say? You already knew about this? Zhong Xiu was shocked.

Shi Mu nodded, and told Zhong Xiu everything about following Pang Yu and the others that day.

Zhong Xiu frowned slightly after hearing this, and asked slowly after a while: Brother Shi, who did you give the jade slip to?

The confidant next to you should be the one named Xiaowei. Shi Mu thought for a while and replied.

is her?

Zhong Xiu fell into deep thought and said after a long time:

It seems that I have been calculated.

When Shi Mu heard this, he was taken aback, and hurriedly asked Zhong Xiu about the Central Plains.

I used to have only one confidant by my side. Xiaowei was appointed by the meeting half a month before departure... I thought it was a bit strange at first, but Xiaowei has a good personality and is well-behaved and sensible, so I didn't think too much about it. , and kept her here. I didn't expect that she would not report this incident, which would drag down the entire chamber of commerce! Zhong Xiu said slowly.

I have observed this woman, she is only an acquired martial artist, she should be instigated by someone behind her back. Xiu'er, do you know who sent her here? Shi Mu asked.

I'm not sure about this, but if you say that, I also think it was done by the people in the meeting. Zhong Xiu shook his head and said so.

Xiu'er, don't worry! If I find this person, I will definitely get rid of your future troubles. Shi Mu said in a deep voice.

Brother Shi, even getting rid of this person will not solve the current predicament. The amount of goods transported by the chamber of commerce this time is huge, and the eight floating cloud carts sent by the chamber of commerce itself cost a lot of money. Now they are all lost. The chamber of commerce will not only face huge If Lingshi compensates, the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce will also be discredited. I, the responsible elder Ke Qing, cannot escape the blame, and now I can only return to Cangxu City and report the robbery to the Chamber of Commerce truthfully. Zhong Xiuxiu said with a slight frown .

The Winged Crane Division and the Mingyue East Sect have already done a solid job in joining forces this time, and we have no evidence to prove their conspiracy. I don't think that the elders of your chamber of commerce will believe me and Caier's one-sided words for no reason. Shi Mu said.

Brother Shi, you are right. The Winged Crane Department and the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce have always been well watered, and the Mingyue Sect has many business contacts with the Chamber of Commerce on weekdays, and they have a close relationship. If they testify against the two, they will definitely I won't admit it, but under the current circumstances, it seems that I can only confess to the chamber of commerce first. Zhong Xiu nodded and said.

Xiu'er, I don't want you to leave Tianwu Chamber of Commerce in the future because of this matter. Leave it to me! Shi Mu said firmly.

Brother Shi, you want to... Zhong Xiu was startled.

That's right, I want to help you get back the goods! Shi Mu said.

What? Take back the goods? Zhong Xiu was shocked.

That's right, Xiu'er, let's go back to Cloud Wing City first to see the situation, how much we can get back, and I'll figure out the rest. Shi Mu said.

Absolutely not! Brother Shi, the opponent is far superior to us both in terms of numbers and overall strength. How can we take it? If we go, we can only die! I won't let you take risks! Xiu hugged Shi Mu tightly, for fear that Shi Mu would leave just like that.

Xiu'er, if you can recover some losses, it may be helpful for you to leave the Chamber of Commerce as soon as possible. You don't have to worry, I have my own way to protect myself. Shi Mu comforted Zhong Xiu.

No, I won't let you go, it's too dangerous. You and I have gone through so much to be together, I really don't want to... Zhong Xiu said, her eyes were slightly red.

Don't worry, I have a solution, trust me! Seeing this, Shi Mu hugged Zhong Xiu tightly and comforted him.

Zhong Xiu saw that Shi Mu couldn't resist him, so after much consideration, he decided that the two of them would go together so that they could take care of each other.

Seeing that Zhong Xiu was so resolute, Shi Mu didn't object, but he needed to think more carefully about the strategy of winning the treasure, he didn't want Zhong Xiu to get hurt again.

After the agreement, Zhong Xiu showed Shi Mu a list of goods, and Shi Mu found that there was actually a star stone on the list.

In the Tianyu City auction back then, Shi Mu already knew what a star stone was, so it must be of great value to be the finale of the Shengxian auction.

And this was also confirmed from Zhong Xiu's mouth.

In fact, in this delivery, only the star stone the size of a thumb is the most important, and it can be called a priceless treasure. The rest of the goods pale in comparison.

But even so, those other goods add up to no less than 500,000 spirit stones.

By the way, Xiu'er, why does the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce use a floating cloud cart for this transportation? Wouldn't it be more convenient to put it in the storage ring? Shi Mu asked suspiciously.

Brother Shi, you don't know that the star stone can't be put into the storage ring, so the elders of the chamber of commerce transported many goods together in an attempt to confuse them with fake ones, but I didn't expect to encounter such a catastrophe. Zhong Xiu said helplessly.

When Shi Mu heard this, he was a little surprised, because his own star stone was right in the corner of the ring of dust.

Seeing that Shi Mu hesitated to speak, Zhong Xiu explained:

It's not that star stones can't be put in storage rings, it's just that the Chamber of Commerce has regulations that large quantities of goods must be transported by floating clouds. As for why there are such strange regulations, I don't know.

Shitou, it's not good! You two don't kiss me inside. There are many people from the Winged Crane Tribe coming from the mountains outside. They seem to be looking for someone? At this moment, Cai'er's voice sounded in Shi Mu's heart.

Shi Mu frowned, opened the shared vision, and his expression changed suddenly.

What's the matter? Zhong Xiu noticed the change in Shi Mu's expression and asked.

A lot of people from the Winged Crane Tribe came outside, searching for something in the mountains and plains. Shi Mu said.

Could it be that they came to see us? Zhong Xiu's expression changed.

I don't know yet, let's go out and have a look. Shi Mu took Zhong Xiu's hand and walked out.

Zhong Xiu hesitated for a moment, but obediently followed Shi Mu and walked out of the cave. (To be continued.)
