Chapter XXIV

Ling Ao, who walked into the slave market with Fubo, was indeed surprised by the scene in front of him. The whole slave market is indeed like a department store in its own world, except that it is only the slaves that are sold here. As far as the eye can see, the entire market is also divided into various areas, with men, women, and interracial people. Some of the slaves in each area are in a single cage, and some are in a group of snails living together, and the price of each cage is clearly marked, which is really like choosing a daily commodity.

As soon as Ling Ao and Fu Bo stepped here, a small guy came to him, and his face was full of smiles, but when he saw Fu Bo behind Ling Ao, the smile disappeared completely, he hesitated for a moment, and finally walked in front of Ling Ao and the two, a little embarrassed:

"Fauber, you go, we can't sell you slaves. With that, he turned around and walked away.

It seems that it is not the first time that Fu Bo has come here, but it seems that there are no accidents this time compared to before, Ling Ao glanced at Fu Bo, only to see that Fu Bo could only reply with a helpless expression from Ling Ao.

Just when Ling Ao was thinking about whether to leave, suddenly an old man walked towards Ling Ao and the two of them leisurely, Ling Ao looked at the old man walking towards him in front of him, only to see that the old man was calm, every step was smooth, without a little extra trace, as if he was using the least amount of strength to complete all the actions, giving people the feeling that it was not too much, and it was not a little more, as if it was integrated with the space in front of him.

Master, Ling Ao's first reaction was that the old man in front of him was definitely a master, and he was a master who had been in a hundred battles. Only experienced masters know how to save energy, save energy, and achieve the best results. And a person like the old man in front of him who has already integrated every move of this realm in daily life is definitely a person who has experienced countless actual combat baptisms to be able to do it. Although I don't know what the strength of the other party is, this kind of control and use of power is at least much stronger than the previous Kata in Freedom City.

So Ling Ao had to look at the old man in front of him vigilantly, and then turned his head to look, only to see that Fu Bo was panting, and the beads of sweat on his head couldn't stop pouring out.

Without waiting for Ling Ao to fight back, the old man withdrew his momentum and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it is a hero who is a young man, Your Excellency must be Ling Ao." ”

"Exactly, I don't know if you are the old man?" Ling Ao saw it, and the other party seemed to be coming for him. But he didn't know anyone at all in this king, and the other party could call his name at once, which made Ling Ao very strange.

"Haha, the old man has been disarmed and retired for a long time, don't mention the name or anything, if you don't dislike it, call me Bai Lao. The old Bai in front of him seemed to be very curious about Ling Ao, and his eyes kept wandering over Ling Ao.

"Don't you know what's going on with Bai Lao?" Ling Ao didn't have much time to chat with Bai Lao in front of him, so he went straight to the point.

"Young man, it's okay to be impatient, but it's not convenient to talk here, so come with me. After saying that, he waved his sleeves, turned around and walked inside.

Ling Ao hesitated slightly, and then took Fu Bo to follow. Soon the three of them came to a private room on the third floor, pushed the door in, the room was elegantly furnished, but Ling Ao saw that there was already a beautiful woman sitting in the room at this time, it seemed that she should be twenty or thirty years old, and it seemed that she had been waiting for herself here for a long time.

Bai Lao, who pushed the door open, made a gesture at the woman inside, and then said to Ling Ao: "Your Excellency Ling Ao, please inside, my wife is waiting for you." ”

Ling Ao naturally wanted to see what kind of medicine these people were selling in the gourd, so he asked Fu Bo to wait outside the door and walked in alone. Ling Ao walked towards the woman very boldly, looking at the other party as he walked, only to see that the woman was hot, and her dress was bold and avant-garde, almost everywhere she could be exposed, coupled with her really glamorous face, it was simply a sexy and glamorous royal sister sitting in front of Ling Ao. So after sitting down, he quickly picked up the water on the table and drank it in a big gulp.

Ling Ao was looking at the other party, and the young woman in front of her was naturally also looking at Ling Ao, seeing Ling Ao's appearance, the woman couldn't help laughing, which made Ling Ao even more embarrassed. However, the young woman quickly said to Ling Ao:

"Little Brother Ling Ao, don't be so nervous," Seeing Ling Ao sitting there stiffly, the young woman couldn't help but laugh for a while, but she quickly adjusted and said, "Let me introduce myself, I am the current person in charge of the Business Alliance-Yuyan." Luo Fu has already reported your situation to me, and this slave market is also the property of our business alliance, so you don't need to be too surprised to see me. ”

Hearing the introduction, Ling Ao understood, it turned out to be Luo Fu's fat boss, no wonder the other party knew his name. However, Ling Ao was still a little surprised that the top person in charge of the business alliance suddenly contacted him.

However, the other party quickly explained: "Junior Brother Ling Ao, I am also very clear about the purpose of your coming today, and the main reason why I met you today is to talk to you about the Eastern Emperor Academy. ”

Hearing about the Donghuang Academy, Ling Ao vaguely felt that this matter was not simple, so he listened carefully to the jade face in front of him.

"I think you know a little bit about the current situation of the Eastern Emperor Academy, you should be able to feel that the predicament of the Eastern Emperor is not just because of the disappearance of the old dean Lanna and the entire adventure team, this is just a reason, but at present, I can't tell you the real reason, but don't worry, the appearance of you and the predecessor of the skeleton clan may really solve the current predicament of the Eastern Emperor. ”

"Since you can't say anything, what's the use of you looking for me?" Ling Ao felt a little like he was being led by the nose, and this feeling made him very uncomfortable.

"Hehe, little brother Ling Ao, don't be in such a hurry, although I can't tell you the reason for the time being, but I can tell you the solution. Yuyan laughed.

"Before you tell me the solution, I want to ask why you want to help me or why do you want to help Donghuang?" Ling Ao is not stupid, you don't help sooner or later, after you appear, you suddenly reach out to help Donghuang, you can't look at yourself handsome.

"Hehe, the little brother is very shrewd, since this is the case, I will tell you directly......"

Listening to Yuyan's introduction, Ling Ao learned that it turned out that the current Octagon Alliance was not as monolithic as it once was, and the matter of the Eastern Emperor became the fuse of internal division, in this internal game, the Mercenary Guild, the Business Alliance and the Alchemy Guild came together, but because of the lack of the Eastern Emperor Academy, on the bright side, the other party still suppressed them with a 4:3 advantage, and the most important thing in this suppression is the suppression of high-end combat power, to put it bluntly, there are not enough masters. And the appearance of Ling Ao's master and servant, although it is not possible to determine Ling Ao's final level for the time being, but the existence of the black robe alone can largely make up for the imbalance in the highest combat power of the two sides. So they actively jumped out to seek cooperation with Ling Ao.

"But I still don't understand, what does this have to do with the Eastern Emperor's predicament?" If they just wanted to find Ling Ao and the black robe as combat support, Ling Ao believed that they would have more ways or means to persuade Ling Ao, rather than helping to solve the problems of the Eastern Emperor Academy. Because at the moment, it seems that the problems faced by the Eastern Emperor Academy are not like minor problems.

"Actually, the Eastern Emperor's predicament is not a lack of people now, but a lack of seats in the Hall of Elders," Yu Yan paused here and continued, " Because of Lanna's disappearance, the seat of one of the Great Elders of the Eastern Emperor in the Hall of Elders was vacant, and it stands to reason that the Eastern Emperor can choose a Tianchen-level master to automatically fill the seat of this Great Elder, but in a short period of time, the Hall of Elders delayed for various reasons, and finally forced all the masters and personnel of the Eastern Emperor to leave one after another, and the Eastern Emperor Academy without the Tianchen master naturally lost the seat of the Great Elder of the Hall of Elders. As the highest decision-making body of the Octagon Alliance, the Eastern Emperor, who has lost the right to participate in decision-making, can naturally only go against the grain, although we don't want this to happen, but it is not yet the time for the two sides to tear their faces, plus we have been suppressed, and at present, we have more than enough self-preservation, and the opposition is invalid, so we can only cooperate with the decision-making of the Hall of Elders, which is why such a big force as the Eastern Emperor will be forced into such a situation. ”

Hearing this explanation, Ling Ao also confirmed relatively clearly that there was indeed a driving force behind the Eastern Emperor's problem, but he didn't expect that this behind-the-scenes driving force was actually the other seven remaining forces in the entire Bafang Alliance, and then Ling Ao opened his mouth and asked:

"However, you still haven't told me, why do they have to target the Eastern Emperor, why do they have to exclude the Eastern Emperor from the Hall of Elders?"

"I can only say that it is because the Eastern Emperor Academy has something in our hands that makes us all rush to it, and this thing, only after the Eastern Emperor ceases to exist, can we and dare to fight for it. As for what he is, I still can't tell you, today's meeting with you is already a risk for us, and we can only continue to talk until the Eastern Emperor regains the position of the Great Elder of the Hall of Elders. ”

"So at present, you are not sure that you have a chance of winning the battle for something after the Eastern Emperor is removed, so you can only come to protect the Eastern Emperor?" Ling Ao seemed to suddenly understand the other party's intentions, and asked with a smile.

Yuyan, who seemed to have been poked by Ling Ao's careful thoughts, suddenly blushed, but she was only red when she hadn't seen any scene, and then got up with a smile and walked to Ling Ao's side, her fingers suddenly supported Ling Ao's chin, and she smiled:

"Since my brother knows my sister's thoughts, then I believe that you won't help your sister, brother. ”

This series of actions and words, coupled with such a close distance and the little white rabbit in front of him, Ling Ao instantly panicked, and quickly picked up the water cup that had been empty for a long time and pretended to drink water. Ling Ao's appearance of covering his ears and stealing the bell caused Yuyan to snicker again.
