"Yeah..." Nan nodded after getting Zhao Jie's reply. Although he was a little disappointed, he wasn't too surprised.
She quickly expressed her understanding to Zhao Jie. Indeed, there was still such a big mess waiting for Zhao Jie to deal with in Qiandao, and the backbone could not be missing.
What's more, their father and daughter have not seen each other for so many years. It's not more than one day and one day less time. Nan will wait for Zhao Jie to arrange everything before escorting him back to Guili.
"Eh!? Are you going to stay here forever, Miss Nan?" Zhao Jie was surprised and happy after hearing this.
To this, Nan nodded and said: "Well, Northern Cross has been sailing away from home. A lot of supplies have been consumed along the way, and the crew members are also tired from the long journey. Since Boss Zhao is not in a hurry to leave, then I am just fine. Let the fleet rest at Thousand Islands for a while.”
"Okay, that's great!" Zhao Jie was overjoyed. He was really worried about how he would return to Li if Nan just went back home.
The representative of Sakuragi Island present, the fox-faced miko Vivian, also said that all facilities on Sakuragi Island are open to the Northern Cross team members and can be used as much as they like.
After the "NPCs" reached a consensus, the corresponding players also received corresponding prompts.
Yu Ge Ge Ge was surprised to find that the forge they coveted had opened equipment for sale to them, and the first ten items were all at a 30% discount!
So Pandora's box was opened for them.
Almost every Northern Cross player swore that they would dismiss the Sakuragijima player's suggestion to "run quickly", saying that they were the ones who could control the situation and would stop immediately after the 30% discount was over.
Until Yugegege opened a top-quality life armor, and the enhanced adverbs were all distorted to the "Elemental Affinity" attribute of the top-level "Mage" profession, the nature of everything changed.
Because he is a warrior, elemental affinity has almost zero benefit for him, and once the discounted equipment is bound, he cannot even take action.
So when Nan came out of the Chamber of Commerce, what she saw was her crew of strangers, who also automatically joined the army of monster spawners, for no other reason than betting on dogs and having no money.
Zhao Jie next to him had an awkward yet polite smile. Nan liked this and was quite clever. He secretly wrote down Zhao Jie's operation strategy and planned to report it to Zhao Yu'er later.
Yes.
As the pinnacle of wealth in Guili, the master of the Qilin Pavilion would be too inferior if he could not even come up with a means of cross-border communication.
Now in the inner pocket of Nan's arms, there is an Xian family talisman lying quietly. It is said that Zhao Yu'er got it through many connections, and it is an extremely precious twin talisman.
No matter how far apart the two parties are, they can contact each other through the talisman, and it is not just a simple transmission of words and sounds, but a jade shadow of oneself can be transformed directly into the other party through the power of the talisman. Except for the time limit, It can be said that it is no different from face to face.
Next, under the arrangement of the little wolf cub, Vivian expressed her desire to visit the Northern Cross to Nan, and Liao Zixuan took the opportunity to finally see the strategic-level heavy artillery weapon that he had always wanted.
With Nan's introduction, the little wolf cub knew the name of the weapon, the Annihilation Star. The muzzle of the weapon was usually represented by the dragon head on the bow of the ship. No wonder the players never discovered it.
The entire "Annihilation Star" cannon body is combined with the keel of the ship. Rather than putting a cannon on the ship, it is more like transforming a giant cannon into a giant ship that can sail on the sea.
After some explanation, Vivian couldn't help but marvel at the uncanny workmanship of the Guili craftsmen.
According to the plan, the little girl expressed her strong interest and curiosity in the "Annihilation Star" and asked Nan whether there was a sales outlet for similar weapons in Guili. She hoped to purchase one to improve Sakuragi Island's Defensive strength.
After Zhao Jie heard this, he immediately echoed it very cleverly. After all, Sakuragijima's power has grown, which is of no harm to him.
Nan shook his head at this. Due to the particularity of the materials and the complexity of the craftsmanship of the Annihilation Star, the entire Guili was probably the only one they had for the Northern Cross, let alone mass production.
Later, after Vivian retreated to the next best thing and hoped to purchase the drawings, Nan said that she could inquire on Vivian's behalf. As for whether the other party was willing to sell it, it was not something she could control.
finally.
After seeing off the fox-faced witch and Zhao Jie, and arranging the Northern Cross crew, Nan returned to her own room on the ship. After locking the hatch, Nan carefully took it out from her arms. Got the twin talismans.
Silently chanting the spell to activate the talisman, the ordinary talisman suddenly shone brightly. Nan's vision was filled with green jade. When he opened his eyes again and regained his vision, the scene in front of him was no longer that of the Northern Cross. The cabin is gone.
Return.
Qilin Pavilion high in the sky.
"I suddenly remembered that there is still an official document to be processed. You can go down first."
"Yes, Sister Yu'er."
After the footsteps in the room faded away and only Nan's familiar scent remained, Nan pushed open the screen mechanism and walked out of the dark room.
"Thank you, Nan." Zhao Yu'er, who was wearing a cheongsam next to the desk, turned around and whispered to the one-eyed woman in the form of a "jade shadow" in front of her.
From the moment Nan activated the talisman, Zhao Yu'er, as the holder of the other twin talisman, immediately felt it tactfully. This was the scene where Zhao Yu'er immediately interrupted the conversation and turned away from the others.
Because the "Jade Shadow" only lasted for a limited time, Nan no longer exchanged pleasantries with Zhao Yu'er, which they did not need to do with each other in the first place.
Nan went straight to the point: "Xiaoyu, I found your father, but..."
Later, Nan briefly described what they experienced in Thousand Islands to the cheongsam girl opposite. During this period, Zhao Yuer listened quietly without interrupting midway.
Even when Nan mentioned the outrageous "son-in-law" that Zhao Jie said, Zhao Yu'er didn't speak, but of course, the frown between the cheongsam girl's brows was still visible to the naked eye.
"Okay, this is the current situation. Xiaoyu, what do you think of your father? And your... uh, fiancé?"
Nan looked like he was just watching the excitement, folding his arms and leaning against the bookshelf. From the shaking of his shoulders, it was easy to tell that he was suppressing a smile.
Zhao Yu'er didn't show any shy expression, she just said calmly:
"Nan, my uncle has been complaining to me a few days ago, saying that her daughter has made a breakthrough in her career, but the family has not found a solution. If it continues, she will have to rush to her forties. Let me Haosheng will introduce you to several high-quality candidates."
"I originally thought that Miss Nan must have her own plan so that uncle doesn't have to worry about it, but now it seems... well, if the news that the dignified leader of the Northern Cross is going on a blind date is released, it will definitely become big news in the entire divorce market. , maybe it can also bring a wave of industry limelight..."
Seeing Zhao Yuer's expression as if she was really thinking about the feasibility, Nan immediately raised his hands in surrender.
Don't be fooled by the delicate and quiet appearance of the cheongsam girl opposite. Nan has seen Zhao Yuer's ruthlessness and extremely vengeful character too many times, and she doesn't dare to take a gamble.
After blocking Nan's teasing mouth, Zhao Yu'er pondered for a moment and then analyzed:
"Actually, when I entrusted you to go to Thousand Islands, I also secretly investigated on the other side. It seems that we got roughly the same information. My father... Zhao Jie did have some small achievements in Thousand Islands, but soon I was on the verge of bankruptcy overnight due to the turmoil caused by the Three Fengxings, but after taking a ride on the Astrologis, I felt like I met a noble person on the road, and my career began to flourish again."
"First of all, we rule out that Zhao Jie got lucky and was helped by this noble man. Although there are such coincidences in the world, I prefer to believe that it is the second possibility. This noble man was one step ahead of me and learned about it. Because of Zhao Jie’s identity, he is deliberately casting a net.”
"Hey! Xiaoyu, so what you mean is that your unmarried... ahem, I mean the guy behind the scenes. In fact, getting closer to your father was premeditated, and his ultimate goal is actually Is it...you?"
Zhao Yuer nodded, but quickly shook her head.
"That's what I thought until... I just learned from you that my father... Zhao Jie called his nobleman his son-in-law. I really can't understand why the other party insisted on sending Zhao Jie here. What are the benefits of doing this? Apart from making me hostile, it seems like there is nothing else?"
This was the first time Nan had seen such a frowning, puzzled look on the face of this smart girl who was able to ascend to the position of the head of the Qilin Pavilion.
"Xiaoyu, is there a possibility that the guy behind your father actually wants to express... his love and admiration to you in this way?"
Unfortunately, what Nan got was a blank look from Zhao Yu'er.
"If that's the case, then I'll feel at ease. Then I can tell him directly that I don't like men, only women."
"..."
Nan gave the cheongsam girl a thumbs up.
As she said before, Zhao Yuer's words were more than just words.
Nan has seen it with her own eyes too many times. When attending a dinner party, Zhao Yuer used the above sentence without changing her expression and rejected countless suitors.
Nan can still remember the livid expressions on the faces of those wealthy children and wealthy businessmen at that time, as well as the scene where they wanted to say something but could not say anything, and in the end could only walk away in despair.
"Forget it, the current information is still too little. What is known about the requirements put forward by the other party, which is the blueprint of the Annihilation Star? Tell them that it is okay, but they must ask me to join in their Sakuragi Island as a partner, if they agree. , so what if you give them a drawing that is impossible to reproduce?"
"Okay, I understand, I will convey it. Oh, by the way, I also discovered a particularly interesting business strategy about the strangers on Sakuragi Island. Come and take a look, Xiaoyu."
Subsequently, Nan adopted the business model invented by Sakuragijima Little Wolf Cub, which is not to sell finished products to people in foreign lands, but in the form of original embryos, allowing foreigners to decide whether they want to continue to forge the original embryos and open an accompanying recycling business. All told to Zhao Yuer.
Zhao Yu'er listened very carefully, and rarely even tapped the table with her fingers. Once this little movement appeared, Nan knew that the girl in the cheongsam opposite was moved.
"Anyway, it's up to you, Xiaoyu, to decide whether or not we should use this plan for the strangers in Guili. However, the battle on Sakuragi Island did greatly change my impression of the strangers. In terms of foreigners, our Guili can be said to be far behind Sakuragi Island."
"Well, I will consider it." Zhao Yu'er nodded seriously.
We must always keep pace with the times. It is precisely because the immortals who once ruled Guili ignored this point that they gradually declined until they were completely outlawed by "mortals" like them.
Zhao Yuer will not make the same mistake again.
"It seems like that's it, there's nothing else to do, so I'll go back first, ah! That's right, I almost forgot, Xiaoyu, let's go over the lines first, I hid the secret from you with your father Your current identity means that you are just a secretary to the Pavilion Master, so don’t be a helper when the time comes."
"I see."
"Speaking of which, when I was telling your father how we first met, I discovered something strange. When you came back to repay your kindness, what did you mean by dividends?"
"Is that... Oh, I borrowed your "Northern Cross" as a cover in those years to pay for the naming fee. Since I was saved by you, I have hinted to the outside world that I have the support of Northern Cross. Those who were originally Those who can't compete with me in business and plan to resort to dirty tricks are all scared to death."
Nan: "...Okay, now that I think about it, fate is really magical. Who would have thought that a little girl I accidentally saved back then would now become the center of Guili's economic lifeline?"
Nan was still sighing, but the cheongsam girl opposite started working, lowering her head to write some letter, and continued at the same time:
"No, you think it was a coincidence, but the reality is that I calculated your location more than a month ago based on the public itinerary of your Northern Cross, and then deliberately chose that time to buy the bottom. , let those angry dignitaries plot to murder me in front of Captain Nan who has seen injustice on the road."
Nan: "..."
Zhao Yuer finally said without raising her head:
"So you understand why I don't believe that the noble man and my father just met by chance."
Nan: "..."
Farewell!
Nan doesn't want to stay here any longer.
Thanks to her sincerity.
It turned out that I was moved by my own sentimentality.
Pooh! You guys have such dirty minds when it comes to doing business!
Not long after Nan's "jade elephant" disappeared, Zhao Yu'er finally raised her head, put away the pen, and completed the letter in her hand.
She rang the bell, and soon two secretaries came in.
A very interesting thing is that before entering the house, the two little secretaries stared at the soles of their feet, making sure that they entered the door with their right foot first, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.
There is no other reason.
The last secretary named "Cui Cui" was punished by Sister Yu'er for cleaning the toilet for a month on the grounds that she "entered the room with her left foot first".
Seeing the cautious appearance of the secretaries and the strange rules that she had developed out of nowhere, Zhao Yuer sighed and said nothing more.
After sealing and wrapping the letter, she handed it to the secretary and asked them to deliver the letter to "Master Li" in "White Tiger Hall".
After the secretaries retreated, Zhao Yu'er stood up from the desk, came to the window, looked at the clouds outside, and then lowered her head to look down at the returning land and all the living beings below Qilin Pavilion.
The cheongsam girl let out a long sigh. This was the first time she had sighed today.
The storm is about to come and the wind is filling the building.
This bad premonition became stronger and stronger in Zhao Yuer's heart.
But she always seemed to be shrouded in a fog, unable to find the key thread. The last time Zhao Yu'er felt this powerless was when her father left them more than ten years ago.
hope...
This will be a breakthrough.
Zhao Yuer remembered what she had just written in her letter. Baihutang was responsible for supervising all officials, and Zhao Yuer was writing to Mr. Li who had come to supervise her, asking him to check Xuanwu Pass!
Because from Nan's mouth, the "noble man" behind her father only left two messages.
One of them is the son-in-law.
The second is...
Xuanwu Pass!
(If you don’t understand some of the plot, you can go back to Chapter 59 of Volume 2, and prepare the whole big job qwq tomorrow...)
