Zhang Xiaoman walked out of the Wind Roc under the escort of a group of Griffin Knights.
In order to prevent any dangerous items from being left inside the cabin, each passenger was thoroughly searched before leaving.
Of course, based on the two mages’ description, everyone understood that there was a powerful figure hidden among them during this journey, and it was he who had dealt with those Wind Cavalry earlier.
It’s just a pity that this powerful person seed to have no intention of revealing himself.
This left the Griffin Knights feeling anxious; even their investigation was conducted politely for fear of inadvertently offending him.
Zhang Xiaoman did not wish to expose his identity, and naturally, the people from the comrce would not dare to speak out.
Though everyone felt a burning curiosity inside them, wanting to boast in front of these usually aloof knights,
they were even more unwilling to anger that Holy Rank powerhouse.
To dig their own grave for a little gossip and vanity, they were not foolish to that extent.
Zhang Xiaoman, although having read many books with his Quicksand Divine Skills, knew that surface understanding alone was shallow; he needed to personally explore this place before making further plans.
The investigation by the Griffin Knights soon concluded, allowing everyone to leave successfully.
Many, having gone through such a turmoil, wore expressions of having survived a disaster, and upon feeling the solid ground beneath their feet, were moved to tears.
"Lord Jixing, what are your plans next? If you haven’t found a suitable place to stay temporarily, our Iron Furnace Comrce would be honored to assist you...?"
Pilei approached again, speaking with ingratiating politeness.
Zhang Xiaoman looked at him, naturally understanding his intention.
They simply did not want to part ways with him and were trying to find a way to keep him.
But truth be told, being unfamiliar with this place, having a guide wasn’t a bad idea.
However, Zhang Xiaoman did not want to continue associating with the people from the Iron Furnace Comrce.
He had traveled with them earlier, received their hospitality, and then saved them on the Wind Roc; the two sides could be considered even now.
If he were to let these people provide accommodation now, he would incur another personal debt.
Debts of gratitude are the hardest to repay, and compared to these, hiring a guide with real silver was more straightforward.
Seeing that Zhang Xiaoman didn’t respond imdiately, Pilei bent slightly in panic and hurriedly said:
"Sorry, Lord Jixing, I was presumptuous. I shouldn’t have inquired about your plans; please forgive ..."
Zhang Xiaoman naturally had no intention of blaming him, rely waved his hand and said:
"No problem, but let’s skip the accommodation. I expect I’ll be around the rcenary Guild for a few days, where I should publish so tasks. If you’re interested, feel free to take them and try your luck."
Initially, Pilei felt a wave of disappointnt upon hearing his refusal.
But after hearing about his plans to publish tasks, a glimr of hope arose.
That the powerful figure had inford him of his upcoming movents ant he didn’t oppose Pilei seeking him. Thus, the connection between them wasn’t completely severed.
Moreover, he’d said he would post tasks at the rcenary Guild—a great opportunity that Pilei had to seize.
Completing his tasks might allow him to forge a deeper relationship, perhaps even gain his friendship.
Imagine gaining the friendship of a Holy Rank powerhouse; even the nobles of the current dynasty might not achieve such distinction!
Pilei was filled with anticipation, eager to know exactly what tasks he would post.
After all, this was a Holy Demon Master—surely the task rewards would be substantial!
Zhang Xiaoman, seeing Pilei’s hesitant deanor, guessed his thoughts.
He was trying to extract so insider information—a situation Zhang Xiaoman had seen many tis before.
But the matter of the Dinsion Rift wasn’t easy to explain briefly, so Pilei would be disappointed.
"The item I’m searching for is a bit special; it’s called a Dinsion Rift. Detailed information will be posted on the rcenary task board. If you know where it is, use this to contact ."
With that, Zhang Xiaoman handed him a small bottle.
Inside was a Communication Butterfly; just let it out, and Zhang could receive the ssage.
"Thank you for your trust, our comrce will do our utmost to help you find the Dinsion Rift!"
Pilei accepted the exquisite, transparent bottle with trembling hands, feeling extrely excited.
After all, this was a Communication Magic Device left by a Holy Rank powerhouse; possessing this ensured a secure future!
He expressed his gratitude repeatedly before the figure left, then rushed back to his caravan.
He urged his team to hurry back while clutching the bottle tightly in his pocket.
His team, seeing him like this, guessed that he must have benefited in so way from Lord Jixing.
So who were quick-witted noticed his pocketing action, already speculating on the possible reward and planning how to obtain a share later.
