Unexpectedly, Xi Pingzhe transferred the money so swiftly, and Qian Qi, who was planning to tease this cute little guy with a new skin, regretfully withdrew his tongue.
The Green Frog Puppet was none other than Qian Qi, who came to assist in the disaster area. To prevent her identity from being exposed and becoming a human instance detection device, she specially disguised herself, creating a new persona.
Commonly known as, getting a new mask.
Reaching out with her left hand, Qian Qi grabbed a slightly larger cage and bent it to the side, creating a space big enough for Xi Pingzhe to squeeze through.
Seeing the Green Frog Puppet bend the golden cage barehanded, Xi Pingzhe’s slightly youthful face was filled with shock, "Is this the strength of the powerful?"
"Mighty one! Please take me with you!" Xi Pingzhe, coming back to his senses, had eyes filled with admiration and hope, clinging tightly to Qian Qi’s frog leg, fearing she would run away, "I want to follow you to save people!"
Qian Qi flung her frog leg with a shake, "Saving people is not my main job, it’s just a random event."
"A random event?" Curious baby Xi Pingzhe asked, "Then what are you here for, mighty one?"
Qian Qi waved the white flag in her hand, revealing the reverse side of the white cloth strip.
Xi Pingzhe looked up, seeing it brightly written: "Divine Calculating Frog, Online Instance Location Prediction, 10 billion per session."
Xi Pingzhe almost thought he was seeing things; he rubbed his eyes and finally confirmed it indeed read as instance location prediction.
Finding an instance in Hong City means looking for the hidden underground instances, but how could this be possible?
Although the Xi Family doesn’t belong to the Seven Great Families, it still counts as an upper-tier force. His grandfather, Xi Mingde, is the dean of the Beast Taming Department at Awakener University, and most Beast Masters are his students. His brother, Xi Ye, even serves under the highest Commander Su Xingchen as an S-class Awakener, as the Su Family Army’s second-in-command.
This time, because they couldn’t find the underground instance, which was extremely dangerous, his brother was sent to garrison in Hong City. Knowing this, he secretly chose to come to Hong City to help.
So, he knew very well, even the Seven Great Families couldn’t find the instance, how does this mighty one plan to find it? By magic calculations?
Xi Pingzhe looked at the oddly shaped Green Frog Puppet, feeling quite unreliable.
"I foresee from your appearance, you have only one grandfather and one brother as immediate family, correct?" Qian Qi stroked a non-existent beard, speaking with an air of wisdom, "If I’m not mistaken, these two relatives of yours are outstanding, with significant status."
Xi Pingzhe’s eyes widened slightly.
"Hmm..." Qian Qi pinched her fingers again, speaking with divine wisdom, "Not long ago, you should have encountered a short, ugly, poor, lousy jinx, who not only gained your relatives’ approval but also stole the goddess you’ve long admired..."
Xi Pingzhe’s eyes widened fiercely!
"Master! You really are a master!" The young man’s tender face instantly gripped Qian Qi’s left hand, eyes sparkling with overflowing admiration, "You’re so divine! You can even deduce this?! I indeed encountered a jinx! I absolutely hate him! Master, do you know how to resolve this jinx?!"
Qian Qi withdrew her hand, shaking her head with a sigh, "This jinx’s fate is extremely tough, beyond the reach of ordinary people, only money can build a good relationship with him. Money symbolizes interest, beneficial for heaven, earth, people, and oneself. Pay money, and you can dissolve the hatred between you and her, achieving mutual success with unimaginable returns."
"No! I’m not asking for me!" Xi Pingzhe dismissed with a wave, correcting, "I’m asking about my goddess, how to rid herself of this lousy jinx’s entanglement?!"
Young man, you’re quite a nice person, aren’t you? You think of your goddess first, not yourself?
She really couldn’t answer this, so she cleverly changed the subject, "Young lad, I’m the 164th descendant under the True Stingy Master of the True Void Palace, and the True Void Palace has long been reclusive and unbothered by worldly affairs, descending only when the world is in great turmoil."
She let out an "Amitabha Buddha," her drawn-out tone filled with the aged sense of salvation and compassion for all beings, "Now, I disregard the master’s orders to come down, only to quell the chaos of the three cities and save the innocent sufferers. Do not recklessly waste my divine power, resulting in insufficient divine power and letting hidden underground instances harm the world!"
Xi Pingzhe immediately covered his mouth, "Right, right, finding the underground instance is the key."
"To conserve divine power, I haven’t divined the whereabouts of the person in charge at the base of this mountain..." Qian Qi swayed her head with a high tone, "I am the sole inheritor of the True Void Palace lineage, destined to inherit the True Stingy Master’s true teachings, and will descend once more to save the world when it falls into great chaos. As of now, peering into the future can easily lead to disaster, and only a hundred billion in gold can avert my foretold calamity..."
"I understand!" Xi Pingzhe clapped his little hand in sudden realization, "So-called breaking the bank and averting disaster, for the master, it means using money to preemptively dispel any foreseen calamities; for us, it means breaking the bank to buy the instance location to avert these instances from wreaking havoc in the future! And it’s reasonable to spend that much money to peer into the future to find the underground advanced instance, it’s equivalent!"
This child, how could he even help me deceive himself ?
She couldn’t help but smack her lips, "Young lad, you have a knack for this!"
Xi Pingzhe beamed with joy, "Then can I be initiated into the True Void Palace..."
Qian Qi mercilessly, "No."
"Then let me lead the master to find someone!" Xi Pingzhe said energetically. Now that even the Seven Great Families couldn’t find the instance, if this Master could truly find it, wouldn’t it be a major accomplishment?
By then, his brother would surely praise him for his progress!
Xi Pingzhe couldn’t help but smile slightly, but... a hundred billion for an instance is a bit much for the Xi Family. I wonder if it’s expensive for the Seven Great Families and if they’re willing to pay that money.
Need to think of a way to make these people willing to spend money. He must persuade his brother to let the Seven Great Families pay for the instance location, can’t leave the mighty’s heart cold!
Xi Pingzhe clenched his fists slightly, summoning the Magma Hunting Dog, "Master, please take a seat, I’ll first contact my teammates to confirm their safety."
Qian Qi glanced at the Magma Hunting Dog, waving her hand, "Okay."
Upon receiving permission, Xi Pingzhe quickly headed to the previous cave entrance, cradling the crying baby to his chest. After ensuring the child was unharmed, he then opened the Light Brain and sent the location to his teammates.
Soon, the teammates who received the message followed the location to find Xi Pingzhe, and upon seeing the two dead B-level Lion Deer Beasts on the ground, they were shocked, looking at Xi Pingzhe, "Little Zhe, did you do this?"
When did he become so badass?
"No, it was the master who saved me!" Xi Pingzhe waved, his eyes filled with admiration looking towards Qian Qi’s direction, "It’s a shame you guys didn’t see the master’s heroic stand against the two B-level magical beasts, it was simply awesome!"
Hearing this, the teammates couldn’t help but look in the direction he was staring at, only to see a peculiar Green Frog Puppet squatting on the ground, carrying a huge fortune-telling banner on its shoulder, beside which the Magma Hunting Dog was lying belly-up for petting, seemingly very fond of the Green Frog Puppet.
