The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 133 Suspicion and Tailing

Xiao Wu snorted coldly upon hearing this: "That's right, you guys are so greedy, don't you want to continue doing business with us in the future?"

"I'm only responsible for receiving the goods; I don't know anything else," Manager Wu said with a smile and a shake of his head.

"You're in charge of such a large transaction, how could you not know? I think you're just unwilling to tell me."

Seeing the fat man's smiling face, Xiao Wu felt a surge of anger: "Let me tell you, these hidden weapons are consumables. If they break, no one but my third brother can fix them."

Tang San originally wanted to stop Xiao Wu, but upon hearing her say this, he was moved and silently looked at Steward Wu.

"Oh, you two, I really don't know!" Manager Wu's soul power was not high. When he saw the two people staring at him, he slapped his thigh and wailed, "I'm just responsible for receiving goods and paying, how could I know anything?"

Seeing that Steward Wu didn't seem to know anything about it, Tang San narrowed his eyes.

He suddenly thought of a question.

He hadn't seen the middle-aged man who wanted to buy his hidden weapons since the day he met him at the auction. Even the contract for that day's order had to be signed by someone sent by the man to the academy.

An order worth over 20 million gold soul coins is no small sum, and Tang San felt that even some noble families wouldn't ignore it.

Something's wrong! Tang San's eyes flashed. If the other party had some other purpose or used hidden weapons to commit evil, he might be implicated in the future.

"Since you don't know either, then forget it." Tang San sighed, and pulled Xiao Wu, who was about to speak, towards the academy: "Manager Wu, if there's no problem with the goods, then we'll be leaving now."

"Oh, it's nothing, it's nothing." After seeing Tang San and his companion disappear from sight, Manager Wu quickly wiped the sweat from his face, greeted the porters, and then got into the carriage and left.

"Brother, are you planning to follow them and see what's going on?" As the carriage drove away, Xiao Wu and Tang San peeked out from behind the academy wall.

"Um."

Tang San watched Manager Wu's retreating figure and nodded: "A deal worth over 20 million gold soul coins, how could their boss possibly entrust such a large sum of money to this manager with his cultivation level?"

"It must be a cover-up."

"Shall we follow them and see?" Xiao Wu suddenly realized, and then watched the carriage slowly disappear into the distance with great interest. She was just lamenting that she had nothing to do all day.

"Anyone who can come up with such a large sum of money must have considerable influence. To avoid any accidents, Xiao Wu, go find your teacher and Dean Flander."

A cold glint flashed in Tang San's eyes. The Tang Clan's hidden weapons must not fall into the hands of those with ill intentions.

……

Tang San followed Manager Wu all the way to the backyard of a small merchant guild in Tiandou City.

Manager Wu bowed to the old man in front of him with a smile and said softly, "Boss, this batch of goods has been counted, and I have settled the payment with that young man."

"It's finally finished. You've worked hard lately, Lao Wu." The old man smiled. "I'll deliver the goods now."

After the old man finished speaking, he instructed several workers to take some goods out of the warehouse and load them onto several horse-drawn carts.

Tang San carefully observed from the top of the wall and discovered that these goods were the Zhuge Divine Crossbows that he had delivered a few days ago.

"I want to see where these people are going to take my Zhuge Crossbow." A shadow flashed in Tang San's eyes.

However, he didn't overestimate his abilities. The other side's forces were clearly not that simple, so it was better to wait for Dean Flander and the others.

Remembering the dean's Cat-Owl Martial Soul, Tang San and the others leaped to a high place to act as a signal. A moment later, a dark shadow rushed rapidly from the sky.

"What's going on with Xiao San?" Flander landed next to Tang San and asked in confusion.

When Xiao Wu found him, he was discussing the upcoming Soul Master Competition with Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong. He originally didn't want to get involved; after all, people pay for your stuff, why should you care where they use it?

To everyone's surprise, Xiao Wu said that the other party had deducted 300,000 gold soul coins as a penalty for breach of contract from the mistress. Flander was shocked and immediately arrived ahead of her.

"Dean, I find the people who bought the Zhuge Crossbow suspicious. To prevent them from using it for evil purposes, I want to see where this batch of hidden weapons will eventually end up."

Tang San frowned, staring intently at the situation below.

"Hey, Little San, how many gold soul coins did you sell for your hidden weapons?"

Flander no longer cared whether the other party was using hidden weapons to commit evil; he just wanted to know how much Tang San's hidden weapons had sold for, which was enough to warrant the other party deducting 300,000 gold soul coins as a penalty for breach of contract.

"More than 20 million, I guess," Tang San said calmly after a moment's hesitation.

"More than 20 million!" Flander was stunned on the spot. He knew that Tang San had been selling hidden weapons recently, but he did not expect them to be worth so much.

"You did the right thing, Xiao San. We should pay attention to where these hidden weapons end up, so they don't fall into the hands of some ill-intentioned people." Flander coughed lightly, covering his mouth.

Tang San glanced at Flander, a thought suddenly occurring to him: "Dean, I've been rushing to finish this project lately. Once it's done, I'd like to donate some funds to the academy to repay them for their nurturing of me."

"Ah! Good, good, good." Flander was surprised, then burst into laughter.

The Chamber of Commerce's carriage had already set off, but fortunately Yu Xiaogang and the others arrived at the last minute.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Tang San briefly explained the situation, and Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong expressed their understanding.

The carriage traveled through several places, picking up other caravans and goods along the way before finally leaving Tiandou City.

"This is too slow. Should I capture them and question them?" Flander, who was following behind the caravan, said impatiently.

"Let's wait a bit longer. The caravan is large now and has many skilled escorts. If we're accidentally exposed, we might be mistaken for robbers."

Yu Xiaogang shook his head as he looked at the caravan of fifty or sixty people: "Let's just consider this a few days off."

The others nodded as well.

Even though the caravan traveled very fast on the official road, it still took them several days to get there.

Yu Xiaogang took out the map and carefully compared it: "If we go any further, we will enter the radiation range of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"What?!"

"."

Tang San, Xiao Wu, and the others were incredulous. They never expected that this batch of hidden weapons would end up in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"Should we go and rob this caravan right now?" Flander narrowed his eyes and pushed up his glasses.

The conflict between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and Shrek Academy has happened more than once, and this is a good opportunity for revenge.

"Mr. Flander, wait a little longer. Now is not a good time."

Tang San's expression darkened slightly as he suppressed his shock and anger, and he shook his head: "Including the Zhuge Crossbows I delivered in the first two batches, this caravan now has less than five hundred, which is only one-tenth of the number I sold to them."

"It's not worth alerting them now."

"Although this place can be considered within the territory of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, it is actually quite a distance from the school's main campus. Let's follow them and see what happens."

"Maybe with luck we can find the hidden weapons that were sold before."

No matter what, the matter is already settled. Even if we steal those five hundred Zhuge crossbows, it won't change anything. We might as well follow them and see what the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is up to.
