At this moment, the old man suddenly said, "Why bother thinking about these useless things? Given their power and the fact that they brought food, I’m afraid what they seek is not what we have in our hands, but they’ve learned of our plight and want to help us! Go open the door quickly and invite them in."
Someone was worried: "But with their strength, what if they suddenly attack us? Besides, there are just three of them, how do they have so much grain? Where did this food come from? Isn’t it too suspicious?"
However, just as this person finished speaking, the old man sighed and shook his head: "You know they are formidable, so why don’t you think—if they really wanted to act against our base, why use such means? Wouldn’t it be easier for them to mix into the base and act without bringing their truck? Why go to such lengths?"
Saying this, he stopped speaking further and quickly went downstairs, ready to personally greet the three guests who had come from afar. Many of the higher-ups also followed behind him, intending to greet them together. Regardless of what the other party wants, since they brought the much-needed food, they must show enough sincerity.
Soon, the base gate opened, and the old man led people directly out. Fang Yuxin and her companions saw them coming out and also got off the truck. Although the three disguised their appearances, their unusual bearing was striking at a glance.
Most of the Market Base’s higher-ups were shrewd people. While they sized up the three from the truck, one glance was enough to know these three were anything but ordinary.
Fang Yuxin and her companions also observed these higher-ups. Back when they had spent some time in the Market Base, they had met many of these higher-ups, especially the leading old man, who was General Song. Back then, Fang Yuxin had just started her cultivation and her abilities were still average. Though he guessed Fang Yuxin was hiding some secret, he didn’t delve into it and instead decided to befriend her, even specially instructing people not to provoke Fang Yuxin, protecting her from quite a bit of trouble.
Now, seeing him again, Fang Yuxin noticed he had aged considerably compared to before. When he first awakened his superpower, he still had a spirited demeanor, but after only a few months, he had become an old man under heavy strain.
Fang Yuxin was startled and sighed. The situation at Market Base is like this; it’s no wonder he’s aged so fast. However, she didn’t regret emptying that Food Trading City back then. She hadn’t forgotten she wasn’t the only one who went there—Fang Mengyao and Qiu Yiming went too. If she hadn’t emptied it out, the contents would have only benefited Fang Mengyao!
Thinking of Fang Mengyao, Fang Yuxin couldn’t help but feel annoyed again. How had she forgotten, that Qiu Yiming had gone to the Beishi Base, and thus Fang Mengyao must be there too? She had missed such a great opportunity, truly regrettable!
