Chapter 1577 - 93: Greed! I Want It All_4
Several blue cloud ray flying vessels were swiftly traversing the sky, their immense wings rising and falling rhythmically, resembling rays swimming leisurely through the deep sea. Despite their seemingly slow movements, they streaked forward like bolts of lightning.
Inside one of the cloud ray flying vessels, an elderly man dressed in black stood with hands clasped behind his back by the window, gazing downward at the boundless sea of clouds below.
He appeared to be in his fifties, with broad shoulders that had inexplicably developed a slight hunch. His drooping eyes carried a deep and unreadable expression, lost in thought.
"Elder Pei, you should rest for a while. We’ll be arriving in East Qian Country soon. At that point, we’ll need to coordinate with the Wang family there,"
At that moment, a middle-aged man wearing the robes of an Artifact Refiner emerged from the nearby dining hall and softly urged.
"Huaijin, it’s my fault you’ve been dragged into this." The elderly man, referred to as "Elder Pei," turned upon hearing him and sighed deeply as he looked at the middle-aged man. "Had I not insisted on my stance and offended Commandant Liu, you wouldn’t have been exiled with me to East Qian Country."
"Elder Pei, there’s no need for such words. Most of my skills were taught by you—you are my mentor. Wherever you go, I go. Isn’t that only natural?" The middle-aged Artifact Refiner smiled. "Besides, we’re here to support the development and refining of a new type of battle armor. We’ll surely gain valuable knowledge from this experience. So what if East Qian Country is a bit behind the times and life there is a bit harsher? A decade or two will pass before we know it."
The middle-aged man’s name was Xiang Huaijin, an Artifact Refiner from the Black Armor Division.
