Chu Nan felt a little strange.

What did he want him to get involved in by talking to the local businessmen on Planet Leppler?

However, he still walked over. He had just taken two steps when he discovered that Dong Fang was pointing behind him.

Looking back, Xiu was still leaning against the wall, eating meat with a plate in her hand.

Chu Nan pointed at Xiu and revealed a questioning expression to Dong Fang.

!!

Dong Fang nodded.

Chu Nan was even more puzzled and turned around to pat Xiu.

“Stop eating for now. Let’s go. Dong Fang wants us to go over.”

“Ah?” Xiu’s mouth was still filled with roasted meat. When she heard this, she raised her head in surprise and glanced at the distant Dong Fang. She reluctantly put down the plate in her hand and casually wiped her mouth with her sleeve before following behind Chu Nan.

Chu Nan helplessly held his forehead.

This girl had just changed her new clothes, but she actually wiped her mouth of oil on her sleeve.

She was clearly a girl who looked very weak and quiet, but her actions were so rough. It was really strange.

Chu Nan brought Xiu to Dong Fang’s side and curiously looked at the two local merchants.

These two fellows did not have the big bellies of those merchants in Chu Nan’s impression. Instead, their figures were maintained very well and their spirits were extremely good. In fact, with Chu Nan’s vision, he could tell that they were more or less used to some martial techniques and were definitely much stronger than ordinary people.

The two of them only glanced at Chu Nan and did not mind. Their gazes landed on Xiu behind him.

“These are the top-notch items I got this friend to find for me in the past few days. What do you think?” Dong Fang pointed at Xiu and said to the two of them.

“She’s a little young and looks quite good. However, Mr. Dong, how can you be sure that she’s from the Rand Clan?” one of the taller people asked.

Hearing this question, Xiu suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Dong Fang in fear.

Her first reaction was that Dong Fang had exposed her identity.

It was very dangerous!

Xiu’s gaze quickly turned sharp. She moved her feet and wanted to rush out the door.

However, Chu Nan immediately attacked and grabbed her.

“Don’t act rashly. Dong Fang definitely has his own thoughts.” Chu Nan leaned towards her ear and whispered before patting her back.

Xiu was surprised to discover that she was actually relieved as if Chu Nan’s words had some magic.

However, she was still very nervous. She looked at the two merchants from Planet Leppler nervously, afraid that they would plan to capture her at any time.

When the two of them saw Xiu’s reaction, not only did they not show any strange expressions, they even became excited.

“Oh, she actually knows martial techniques.” The other shorter merchant who had not spoken looked at Xiu with great interest, “Then, her status in the Rand Clan must not be low. Your friend must be very lucky to be able to capture such a young girl. May I ask where you obtained her?”

The last question was raised to Chu Nan.

Chu Nan looked at Dong Fang who nodded and glanced at him.

A thought flashed through Chu Nan’s mind and he replied expressionlessly, “I unintentionally encountered her in the wasteland. She fainted on the ground at that time and I caught her when I saw her.”

“So simple?” The two of them clearly did not believe it.

Chu Nan pretended to look at Dong Fang.

Dong Fang laughed and replied, “In fact, he was indeed lucky. This girl’s tribe was destroyed, and only she escaped alone. In the end, she happened to encounter him.”

“The tribe was destroyed?”

The two merchants of Planet Leppler exchanged a look. The short merchant smiled at Dong Fang and looked at Chu Nan with a suspicious expression.

“Mr. Dong, your friend should be around 20 years old, right? Does he really have the ability to bring such a precious girl from the Rand Clan back from the wasteland?”

Dong Fang laughed and reached out to pat Chu Nan’s shoulder, “Although my friend is young, he’s actually already a Void Break Martial Artist who has broken through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate.”

“What?” The reactions of the two merchants were a little more intense than Chu Nan and Dong Fang had expected. The two of them cried out in surprise, “This is impossible!”

The sudden exclamation attracted the curious gazes of many people around them. The two of them hurriedly lowered their voices. The tall businessman widened his eyes and looked at Chu Nan in disbelief.

“Mr. Dong, this… how is this possible? You said that he’s not even 20 years old and is already a Void Break Martial Artist?”

Dong Fang shrugged, “Is it strange? There are many Void Break Martial Artists under the age of 20 in our Earth Federation. Could it be that they’re rare on Planet Leppler?”

“This…” The two of them smiled at the same time with awkward expressions, “Most of the martial artists on our Planet Leppler come from other places. As for the locals… Haha…”

The short businessman looked at Chu Nan and then at Xiu. He pointed at Xiu’s eyes and revealed a questioning expression.

“Oh, I made a small disguise for her.” Dong Fang gestured at Chu Nan.

Chu Nan softly instructed Xiu. She hesitated for a moment before taking off the brown contact lenses in her eyes, revealing a pair of sapphire-like blue and clear eyes.

The two Leppler merchants only took a glance and immediately revealed shocked and intoxicated expressions.

“Oh, my god! This is definitely the top-notch Sapphire Eye! This is a pair of eyes worthy of our Star Field’s name!” The tall businessman shouted exaggeratedly.

The short businessman also stared into Xiu’s eyes and muttered, “No wonder you’re suddenly interested in the Rand Clansmen, Mr. Dong. Anyone who sees such beautiful eyes will definitely be intoxicated immediately!”

Chu Nan frowned and gestured for Xiu to put on the contact lenses again.

When her eyes returned to normal, after the brown eyeballs that could be seen everywhere on Planet Leppler, the two merchants licked their lips in pity and calmed down.

The two of them exchanged another look. The short businessman said to Dong Fang, “Mr. Dong, if you’re really interested in the Rand Clansmen, you can’t miss a banquet tomorrow night…”

At this point, the short businessman glanced at Chu Nan and Xiu and stopped.

Dong Fang understood and waved his hand at Chu Nan before he brought Xiu back to the corner.

“Did… did he get… get the news?” As soon as he returned to the corner, Xiu immediately asked Chu Nan excitedly.

“Let’s wait and see.”

Chu Nan and Xiu waited patiently for a while. Dong Fang ended his conversation with the two merchants and walked over.

Facing Xiu’s expectant gaze, Dong Fang ignored her and asked Chu Nan, “Heh, Chu Nan, it’s time for you to choose. Do you think… the two martial techniques you obtained from Xiu or her entire body is worth taking a risk?”
