610: Chapter 610 Spring

"I don't know."

"Does the mission mention it?"

Xiao Weiqing blinked at Leibo.

Leibo raised an eyebrow, immediately understanding.

"Hey, Landili, you know who we are, right? You aren't trying to scam us, are you?"

Leibo scolded Landili.

Landili sighed. She truly couldn't afford to offend the two people in front of her, but letting them take the item like that was also impossible.

"You two, the item I'm talking about is a spring eye, a Black Spring spring eye."

"It is precisely because Black Spring Planet has this spring eye that it was favored by my father back then."

"A Black Spring spring eye?"

Leibo narrowed his eyes.

"That's right." Landili nodded. "Please return the spring eye, and Landili will definitely reward you handsomely."

"Of course, you two can also take it away. After that, Black Spring Planet will no longer produce Black Spring Stones, and it will be impossible to have Black Spring Crystals, slowly turning it into a useless, desolate planet."

"Yo ho, what's this? Are you threatening us now?"

Leibo mocked.

"I wouldn't dare. It's just that you two accepted the mission. If word gets out, I'm afraid it won't be good for your reputations, nor will it be good for the Holy Land's reputation."

"Hahaha~~"

"Hahaha~~"

Leibo laughed loudly, his laughter somewhat unrestrained.

"This is interesting."

Leibo restrained his laughter, opened a virtual interface, and carefully reviewed the mission.

Then.

He searched for "Black Spring spring eye" in the Holy Land System.

"A Black Spring spring eye, 8 to 10 million credits?"

"Xiao Weiqing, did you take it?"

"Yeah."

Xiao Weiqing nodded.

"Give it back to them."

"Alright."

Xiao Weiqing didn't ask anything. He reached out and opened his palm. A black, bowl-shaped object about three inches in diameter appeared. Once the black bowl appeared, it began to gurgle and bubble with water.

"Is this the spring eye you were talking about?"

"That's it."

Landili saw the spring eye and smiled.

Xiao Weiqing threw the spring eye over.

Landili caught it and carefully put it away.

"Thank you both."

"Wait, don't be so quick to thank us."

Leibo said coldly.

"Please rest assured, I will definitely prepare a generous gift for you both."

Leibo interrupted: "No need."

"To be honest, I now know why even when your planet was occupied, you didn't dare send anyone to take it back."

Landili didn't understand what Leibo meant and instinctively retorted: "That's because Lord Aorui deceived me. I never thought he would betray me."

"That's because you're stupid!"

Leibo shouted.

"What do you mean?!"

Landili felt anger rising. Even if the two people in front of her helped her reclaim Black Spring Planet and the spring eye, it didn't mean Leibo could insult her.

"Exactly what I said."

"You failed to judge people correctly; that's your problem. But that's not the point. The point is you concealed the Black Spring spring eye. It was never mentioned in the mission details from start to finish."

"This..."

Landili was speechless. She had indeed concealed it because if the Black Spring spring eye was involved, the mission's commission would be on a completely different level.

"Sigh..."

Leibo sighed when he saw Landili's expression.

"That's why I said you're stupid."

"I was wondering why we encountered a Star Ink Python here; it turns out there was a precious treasure."

"Leibo, let's go. Let the Holy Land handle it."

Xiao Weiqing was a bit impatient.

"Alright."

"Wait, what do you mean? What does the Holy Land need to handle?"

For some reason, Landili felt inexplicably panicked. It seemed she had made some kind of mistake.

Leibo looked at Landili with pity.

"When it involves items of the precious treasure level, the Holy Land's mission Rank isn't just a simple Sixth Heaven S-Rank. At the very least, it requires members of the Seventh Heaven to accept it."

"If it weren't for Xiao Weiqing this time, any other Sixth Heaven member who came here would have suffered a huge loss, or even lost their life."

"The reason for all this is that you concealed the precious treasure. I have every reason to believe that you are conspiring to harm Holy Land members."

"I didn't!"

Landili's expression changed drastically. She couldn't admit to this. Otherwise, let alone her, the civilization she represented would suffer. Once confirmed, even if her father were still around, he wouldn't be able to protect her.

Leibo shook his head. "The Holy Land will naturally investigate this matter; it's not up to you to decide what is what."

"Rest assured, we will report the situation truthfully when we return. As for the rest, you can explain it to the Holy Land Enforcement Team."

"Xiao Weiqing, let's go."

The two were about to leave.

"No, you can't leave."

Landili flashed over to block Xiao Weiqing and Leibo.

If she let them leave now, the matter wouldn't be clear. She couldn't guarantee, and didn't believe, that they wouldn't embellish the story. After all, it was a fact that they had encountered a Dominator Realm Star Ink Python.

It was also a fact that she had concealed the Black Spring spring eye from the Holy Land.

"That's why I said you're stupid; you actually dare to block us."

"Do you know that with your current behavior, if we killed you, you would have died in vain?"

Leibo was completely dumbfounded by this woman's stupidity. Did she actually want to keep him and Xiao Weiqing here?

"Wait, wait, my two lords, let's talk this over."

The old man accompanying Landili appeared.

"My two lords, I can swear that we were absolutely unaware of the Star Ink Python, and we absolutely had no intention of harming Holy Land members."

"Hmph."

Leibo mocked: "Otherwise what? Do you think you would still be standing here talking to us?"

"Then I ask the two of you to help..."

"Help? Help with what?"

"We take the money, do the mission, the mission is completed, and the rest has nothing to do with us. The Black Spring spring eye has also been returned to you."

"No, you are mistaken, my lord."

The old man lowered his head and said.

Leibo frowned.

"Mistaken?"

"Yes, mistaken."

"We also didn't know there was a spring eye on Black Spring Planet. We only had some guesses before, which is why a series of events occurred. It was all a complete misunderstanding."

"The two lords helped us find the Black Spring spring eye on Black Spring Planet, cleared out the traitors, and even killed the Star beast that was occupying the spring eye. We are infinitely grateful."

"For this reason, we have decided to divide the spring eye into four parts: one for each of you, one for the Holy Land, and we will only keep one."

"Uncle Moheng!"

Landili was a bit anxious and whispered sharply.

The old man ignored Landili and looked at Xiao Weiqing. He knew that among those present, only Xiao Weiqing could make the final decision. Although Leibo seemed aggressive, he would occasionally look at Xiao Weiqing to seek his opinion.

"I wonder what you think of this, my lord?"

Xiao Weiqing revealed a playful smile. The saying "an old man in the house is like a treasure" must refer to the old man in front of him.

As for Landili, one look and you could tell she was an idiot who had been protected too well and had never suffered any harsh beatings.

There is a good saying.

A villain racking their brains is not as effective as a fool having a sudden inspiration.

"Leibo, what do you think?"

One-quarter of the spring eye—it would be a lie to say he didn't want it. Even if he sold it, it would be worth one or two million credits. This was a huge sum of money.

But after all, this mission was accepted by Leibo, and Xiao Weiqing wouldn't overstep his bounds.

Leibo thought for a moment and asked: "Can this Black Spring spring eye be divided?"

"Yes, just leave it to us."

"Did you really not know there was a spring eye on Black Spring Planet before?"

"We didn't know, and we certainly didn't know there was a Star beast. We only deduced that Lord Aorui had betrayed us, so we posted a mission in the Holy Land to request assistance."

Leibo nodded. "I see. Then it seems there was indeed no problem with the mission details."

The old man understood. "Landili, the spring eye."

Upon hearing this, Landili reluctantly took out the spring eye.

The old man took an object with a special shape from the middle-aged man, and very quickly—

The spring eye was divided into four parts.

"My lords, these three parts are considered sub-spring eyes. In ten years at most, they will become a complete Black Spring spring eye. However, it will take a long time to develop back to its original size."

Leibo looked at the three one-inch-sized spring eyes and asked: "Are you sure?"

"I am sure."

"Alright, I'll trust you this once."

"Xiao Weiqing, let's go."
