Chapter 1088 Surprised Deal
Compared to the Sand Wave Village, the Blue Oasis Village’s atmosphere was more cool and pleasant. Small rivers formed a vast lake around the village, and dense forests could be seen everywhere. It gave off a feeling this place shouldn’t exist in the desert.
At the same time, the populations here were also several times higher. When Yun Lintian’s group walked into the village, they could feel as if they had entered a huge city instead of a village.
“No wonder everyone was fighting for this village. I would, too.” Han Bingling said softly while looking around. Although she had been to several more prosperous places than this village, it didn’t prevent her from liking it.
Yun Lintian nodded in agreement. This village gave him a vibe of a scenic coastal spot on Earth. If there was nothing for him to do, he would definitely spend leisure time here.
He turned to Ren Muyang and asked. “How is it, Uncle Ren?”
Ren Muyang nodded in satisfaction. “The profound energy here is rich enough, and the environment is good for my people.”
He felt he had made the right decision to come here with Lei Zhenxiang. Although the lake was still small compared to their size, it was much better than staying in the Endless Sea further. At least they could live in peace here.
“We will stay here for a few days, waiting for the next round of location shifting. If that Zuo Jinlan didn’t come to us on her own, we wouldn’t do anything to her.” Yun Lintian made a decision, and everyone agreed with him.
“I’m afraid she has already come.” Lei Zhenxiang suddenly said, and everyone immediately noticed a group of people walking toward them.
The one in the front was a woman clad in a light blue robe, and her appearance could be described as an elegant beauty. Without a doubt, she was Zuo Jinlan.
“You must be Yun Lintian.” Zuo Jinlan halted her step a few meters away from Yun Lintian and seized him up and down before saying.
Yun Lintian was surprised slightly. Looked like there were a few moles beside He Weimin.
He smiled and said directly. “I am. What do you want from me, Village Head Zuo?”
Zuo Jinlan revealed a charming smile and said. “Don’t be nervous. Perhaps you have listened to He Weimin’s nonsense too much. In fact, I have no intention of becoming an enemy with you.”
“On the contrary, our Nether Flame Group would like to befriend you.”
“Please get to the point.” Yun Lintian said calmly.
“I like a straightforward person like you.” Zuo Jinlan curled her lips. “It’s not good to talk about it here. Why don’t you follow me to my place?”
She paused for a second and said. “Don’t worry. I won’t play such a stupid trick like He Weimin.”
Yun Lintian smiled and said. “Since you seem to know it very well, you should also know that I’m not afraid of your trick.”
“Naturally. That’s why I am very interested in you.” Zuo Jinlan winked seductively and made a gesture. “Please.”
Yun Lintian nodded and followed Zuo Jinlan to her residence.
To Yun Lintian’s surprise, Zuo Jinlan’s residence was more ordinary than he had expected. The place was big, but the decoration was simple and neat. There wasn’t any unnecessary antique or painting for show.
After everyone took a seat, Zuo Jinlan went straight to the point. “We will provide you a Central Ruins spot without going through a competition. What we need in exchange is information about the center area of the ruins.”
Yun Lintian took a sip of tea and asked in puzzlement. “Why are you confident that I can reach there? From what I know, no one except for the Boundless Desert Emperor himself could enter it.”
Zuo Jinlan smiled meaningfully. “Of course, we are confident in you. After all, you are someone who has singlehandedly repelled the Poison Valley.”
When her voice fell, the expressions of Yun Lintian and the others changed slightly, but they weren’t surprised much. Yun Lintian’s deeds on the Northern Continent weren’t a secret. Anyone with a good network could inquire about it by now.
“Looks like your Nether Flame Group is indeed powerful.” Yun Lintian said with a faint smile. .
“Although the resources here are not bad, it’s a single piece of land in the end. We cannot rely on this place alone to develop.” Zuo Jinlan laughed gently.
“So, what do you think?”
“How many spots can you give us?” Yun Lintian asked.
“How many do you want?” Zuo Jinlan asked back.
“Ten.” Yun Lintian replied after thinking for a moment. Including Lei Zhenxiang’s group. There were around ten people who were capable enough to enter the ruins.
“No problem.” Zuo Jinlan replied instantly.
“In addition, I hope his people can stay here. You should know what I mean.” Yun Lintian opened his hand toward Ren Muyang.
Zuo Jinlan glanced at Ren Muyang thoughtfully. When she first saw this person, she immediately knew he wasn’t ordinary. His strength was unfathomable. This was also the reason she didn’t use a hard approach from the beginning.
If she knew that Ren Muyang was at the peak of the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm, she would definitely thank herself for making the right decision.
“No problem. We can promise you that even if you can’t enter the center of the ruins, no one will find trouble in them.” Zuo Jinlan said with a rare serious expression. She turned to Ren Muyang. “Senior can stay here at ease. If you want anything, you can come to me right away.”
“Many thanks.” Ren Muyang said with a smile.
“Deal.” Yun Lintian now understood why He Weimin lost to this woman. Compared to him, Zuo Jinlan was smarter and knew how to read the situation well.
Zuo Jinlan smiled brilliantly and clasped her hands. “Serve the dishes.”
***
Somewhere deep in the desert. This place was filled with violent sandstorms to the point one couldn’t see anything. Amidst the sandstorms, a figure of a man covered with black clothes from head to toe was sitting peacefully, as if everything that happened around him had nothing to do with him.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes and muttered to himself. “He finally comes?”
