Chapter 1317 – Sealed Off (5)
“Someone had initially been sent to guard, but it’s been five days already and there is still no news. Apparently, the
City Lord felt that we were lying; thus, he removed the elves who were stationed at the door of the trading house.”
The Moonshine Tribe elves wanted to cry. After all, they were really just doing their business honestly.
They did not think that such a thing would happen to them.
It was really hard for them to accept that any bit of this was true.
A large number of gemstones from the Radiance Continent, the other party was just a minor elf, and they also said
that the one who had collected the money before was a Mythological Beast…
It was known that magical beasts had the best relationship with human beings. Therefore, it was no wonder that the
City Lord would think that the words of the Moonshine Tribe elves were not credible.
“Which Mythological Beast is it? Do you know?” Shen Jing was very curious. The relationship of the Mythological
Beast to the elves was more subtle in comparison to human beings. Magical beasts could sign a contract with human
beings, while when it came to the elves, they would just mind their own business. Both sides were neither hot nor
cold to one another. He had never heard of an elf and a magical beast who had a very close relationship.
“Yue Shi, you tell,” The older elf shouted.
The one who was named was one of the elves who was in charge of the Moonshine Trading House. He walked over
in the front of the iron bars and looked at Shen Jing as he said, “I don’t know his true form, but he looks like a child
after his transformation. He has a very petite stature, with red hair, red eyes, and there is a cluster of fire mark
between his eyebrows. His temper is not very good, and he is somewhat arrogant.”
Yue Shi tried hard to recall the information about Vermillion Bird. This Mythological Beast would always leave
straight away after collecting the money from them every time. He had never talked any superfluous words with
them either.
Shen Jing listened carefully, but the more he listened to it, the more he felt that the Mythological Beast described by
Yue Shi sounded quite “familiar”.
Looked like a child? Very petite stature? Red hair, red eyes, and a fire mark?
Furthermore, he had an arrogant temperament…
Fall!
How come the more he thought of it, the more it sounded like their family’s Vermillion Bird?!
After Vermillion Bird signed a contract with Shen Yanxiao in the past, Shen Jing had seen Vermillion Bird twice.
Towards this ancient beast deity of the Vermillion Bird Clan, Shen Jing had always been respectful.
Vermilion Bird’s attitude towards Shen Yanxiao was a little better, as for the rest of Vermilion Bird Clan members,
he always faced them with his chin lifted up.
“It shouldn’t be him… He is supposed to be by Little Xiao’s side at this time…” Shen Jing stroked his chin and felt
that he must be overthinking things.
Vermillion Bird always followed Shen Yanxiao. Wherever Shen Yanxiao was, was where Vermillion Bird should be.
Shen Yanxiao was in the distant land of the Radiance Continent, so how could Vermillion Bird appear in the Moon
God Continent?
And his niece clearly had the appearance of a human, how could they mistake her as an elf?!
It must really be that he was overthinking things!
The elves of the Moonshine Tribe were all looking at Shen Jing for a while, and all of their faces were full of
doubts.
Shen Yanxiao, who had been hiding in the dark, finally figured out the ins and outs of the matter.
She really made some mistakes. She did not expect that the sudden appearance of a large number of gemstones
would bring such so much trouble to the Moonshine Tribe.
However, since Shen Yanxiao now knew the reason, this matter would also be easy to solve.
There was already a calculation in her mind, and Shen Yanxiao did not intend to show up. She directly and quietly
left from the dungeon.
Leaving the dungeon, Shen Yanxiao received a spiritual connection from Vermillion Bird at the same time.
“Where are you? I have already arrived at the Jadeite City.” Vermillion Bird said.
Shen Yanxiao responded with a smile, “You go outside the Moonshine Trading House first, I’ll go there shortly.”
“Good.”
Shen Yanxiao cut off the connection, after which her delicate little face evoked a sly smile.
Next, she and Vermillion Bird just needed to properly act the play out!
