Chapter 95: Are You Sure?
In the remote region of the void, 'Sheng Geya' was a small to medium-sized planet, with a total of seventeen large-scale teleportation arrays distributed across it.
Normally, such a remote place would have at most three to five large teleportation arrays, but Sheng Geya was a tourist destination. Its golden sand coast attracted a large number of visitors, serving as one of the economic pillars of this remote area.
Beyond that, Sheng Geya had another unique feature: it was located at the overlapping point of the territories of the Feather Race and the Demon Race. Both sides claimed the area as their own, leading to conflict.
Not long ago, the Feather Race and the Demon Race went to war, with the trigger being the ownership of Sheng Geya.
In truth, the war between the Feather Race and the Demon Race was secretly orchestrated by the old immortals on both sides. The ultimate goal was something those old immortals kept tight-lipped about, always being vague with Su Xiao and his group.
Su Xiao didn't care much about this. His involvement in the matter was essentially to watch the spectacle. The two old-timers from the Feather Race and the Demon Race were playing a game of chess, and Su Xiao was an invited spectator. How to respond later would depend on how the situation evolved.
Hiss~
The space shuttle device emitted hot air, and the guide wheels contacting the metal tracks were glowing red. This thing wouldn't be usable again for another twelve hours.
The place where Su Xiao was located was a three-story mansion, quite spacious. Surrounding it was a manor matching the mansion, covering an area of about five hectares. On both sides were artificial woodlands, and in front were a courtyard, a paved path, a kennel, a grapevine planting area, plus a small artificial lake.
At the back were a garden and large flower fields. It could be said that this manor was luxurious, but it was just one of many properties owned by Reid's old friend.
Knock, knock, knock.
The double doors were knocked on, and after being pushed open from the outside, a well-dressed butler walked into the room. The butler was in his early sixties, with his hair and beard meticulously groomed. Behind him followed a short-haired maid.
The maid's gaze was sharp, and on the right side of her waist hung several rulers—a straight ruler, a tape measure, and a retractable ruler.
Seeing the old butler approaching, Reid stepped forward. The two were acquaintances and had a good personal relationship.
"Mr. Reid, the position is off."
The maid spoke. Hearing this, Reid frowned. He had met this maid several times and knew she was an extreme perfectionist.
The short-haired maid first bowed slightly to Reid, said "Excuse me," then walked to the front of the space shuttle device. She took the retractable ruler from her waist, pulled it out with a *swish*, and began measuring. Her demeanor had clearly changed.
Soon, she measured that the parking position of the space shuttle device deviated by 0.12 centimeters from the estimated position. This would increase the startup risk by 0.17% to 0.19%, potentially causing the space travel to fail. An optimistic estimate was that someone would be injured; a pessimistic one was that someone might meet with misfortune.
Thinking of this, the sharp-eyed short-haired maid pressed both hands on the space shuttle device, took a deep breath, and began pushing it. Her face gradually turned red, but the space shuttle device remained unmoving. It looked like if no one helped her push it back, she might collapse from exhaustion.
Seeing this, Baha raised his eagle claw and gently hooked it. The space shuttle device moved, and the slot below made a crisp *click* sound, successfully locking onto the metal track.
The short-haired maid let out a long sigh of relief. She placed one hand on her chest and bowed to Baha in thanks. This meticulous maid was named Tisi.
Maid Tisi clasped her hands in front of her lower abdomen and stood to the side. She was actually observing secretly. After a round of observation, she had a very good first impression of Bubu Wang, followed by Baha, since Baha had just helped her, and finally Su Xiao.
In Maid Tisi's view, these three guests were quite friendly and not bad people.
Clearly, Maid Tisi had no idea about the current situation. Not to mention Su Xiao, Bubu Wang, and Baha, even Reid, who brought them here, was not a good person.
Reid came from the Shia World. This guy was the strongest in that world. Reid had no hobby of bullying the weak and disdained doing such things. He specialized in dealing with various kingdoms. The number of kings he had beaten to death exceeded five fingers.
"Reid, welcome to Sheng Geya."
A middle-aged man with a slightly plump build, wearing rings on all ten fingers, strode over. He was Reid's old friend, Poli Wodiga. Poli was a surname style from the southeastern region of the void.
Wodiga strode over, gave Reid a hug, and laughed heartily.
"And this must be Mr. White Night."
Wodiga was all smiles, his eyes almost squeezed into slits. This seemingly harmless void merchant managed to maneuver between the Feather Race and the Demon Race.
Wodiga knew that Su Xiao was a Law Destroyer, hostile to Arcane Eternal Star, yet he still warmly invited him. The reason was that he had backing, and more than one. Sometimes, opportunity coexists with risk. Here in 'Sheng Geya,' due to the war between the Feather Race and the Demon Race, it was like a hornet's nest for other major powers, and they wouldn't easily send people here.
Ten minutes later, in the second-floor dining room, Su Xiao, Reid, and Wodiga were all seated. The food on the table was abundant. As for Bubu Wang and Baha, they had already gone to scout the surroundings.
"Since you two have arrived in Sheng Geya, stay for a few more days."
As Wodiga spoke, he raised his hand to signal the servants in the room to leave. The following conversation couldn't have outsiders present.
"That's no problem. Wodiga, about the things I ordered last time, how are they coming along?"
Reid had come this time to purchase some minerals as well. He had been cooperating with Wodiga for a long time.
"They're ready."
"The Feather Race and the Demon Race are fighting like a pot of porridge. This must be tough for you, right?"
"Sigh, outsiders see me as glamorous, but I'm actually just a small player. On the Feather Race and Demon Race side, for some unknown reason, they suddenly went to war. The rumor is that it's over the ownership of Sheng Geya, but I think it's probably not that."
Wodiga sighed. The war between the Feather Race and the Demon Race made things difficult for him. Originally, both sides were big spenders, but after the war started, Wodiga had to carefully maintain relations with both, not alienating either, but also not getting too close.
"White Night, about this matter..."
Reid didn't continue, but his meaning was clear: Wodiga was practically one of their own, and they could give him some information appropriately. Reid knew that the Law Destroyers were allied with the Demon Race, or rather, this wasn't a secret in the void.
Hearing Reid's words, Wodiga's eyes seemed to brighten a bit, and his gaze toward Su Xiao was full of anticipation.
"You two... are sure you want to know?"
Su Xiao picked up a piece of shrimp tail and handed it to Bubu Wang, who had just sat down beside his leg.
"This, this..."
Wodiga showed a troubled expression. His long experience in void commerce made him sense the danger in this matter—danger enough to make him vanish from the face of the earth.
"Suddenly, I don't want to know anymore."
Reid knew that Su Xiao never joked. He forked a piece of scallop meat and chewed it loudly. Etiquette clearly had little to do with Reid.
"Let's not talk about that for now. Mr. White Night, my daughter will be participating in a competition among the younger generation in half a month. I hope you can give her some guidance. As for compensation..."
Wodiga didn't continue, because he wasn't clear about Su Xiao's strength. Promising compensation rashly, only to offer something Su Xiao didn't care about, would be very embarrassing.
"No compensation needed. Reid has already paid."
As Su Xiao spoke, he shifted his gaze to Wodiga beside him and continued, "Are you sure you want me to guide your daughter?"
"Of course I'm sure."
Wodiga's expression remained normal. He even raised his glass and downed the wine in one gulp. Clearly, he still didn't understand what his 'of course I'm sure' meant for his daughter.
