Chapter 648 Race Against Time
"Then … the result shouldn't be too optimistic." Xiang Nan frowned, "Snow Fox is the native Tujia people of Jiuxiao Empire. If they help us, it will be very difficult for them to survive under the envelopment of the The Profound Sky Sect in the future, and they will be accused of treason."
"Anyway, a dead horse should be a living horse doctor. Send a message first."
Xiang Nan stored the details of the matter in the signaling order in his language. Then, he released the signaling order while he and the princess waited quietly for the news.
Soon, a day passed.
Xiang Nan originally thought that Li Junyi would give him an answer soon. Even if he refused, it wouldn't take much time.
However, Xiang Nan did not receive a reply from Li Junyi until one day after he sent the message.
Sure enough, Li Junyi's judgment was the same as Xiang Nan's. Although Li Junyi had already fought hard for Xiang Nan in the clan, the clan elders did not agree with this matter.
In the end, Li Junyi could only agree to lend one billion gold coins to Xiang Nan in his personal name. This was already the limit that he could offer himself.
The big money was all in the family. It was this billion gold coins that was still in Li Junyi's personal vault.
"One billion" Xiang Nan shook his head and said, "A drop in the bucket."
"Li Junyi's ability to accomplish this is already not simple. After all, he is under such great pressure from the The Profound Sky Sect ."
At this time, a guard had already returned and shouted from afar, "Your Highness, something is wrong."
The princess was already in a hurry. After hearing this, her heart sank again. She rubbed her temples and said, "Speak directly."
The guard's expression turned ugly. He hesitated for a long time and said, "Is that order … not enough?"
"Then, how many orders did you place successfully?" The princess asked.
The guard knelt down and said, "None of them succeeded! After others found out about our bet with the The Profound Sky Sect , they refused to sell us even a single weapon."
Hearing this, the Ninth Princess was already in despair. She fell on her chair and smiled miserably, "I'm afraid the other guards brought back the same news as you."
"This time, we really lost."
"Xiang Ru, do you have any other relationships in the The Nine Firmaments Continent ? If you do, hurry up and say it."
Xiang Nan thought for a moment and could only shake his head. He had quite a few friends in the The Nine Firmaments Continent , but without revealing his identity, if he wanted to borrow money, it would probably be hopeless.
At this moment, a Nine Firmament Imperial Clan guard shouted, "Miss Youlan, please meet Her Highness the Ninth Princess."
"Miss Youlan? The singer?" The Ninth Princess was stunned.
Xiang Nan smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, you mustn't say that when you see someone."
"What is she looking for me for? Let her in." The princess waved her hand.
Very quickly, a graceful figure walked in. It was the big star, You Lan.
When he looked closely, he discovered that this woman's appearance was not the kind of top-notch beauty, but could only be considered delicate and beautiful.
But her singing and dancing were definitely the best.
Xiang Nan was also curious as to why Youlan had suddenly come to visit her. Neither he nor the Ninth Princess knew her.
The Youlan girl bowed to the Ninth Princess and said, "You Lan, the daughter of the people, greets Her Highness the Ninth Princess of Haotian."
As she spoke, Miss Youlan looked at Xiang Nan's face for a while as if nothing had happened.
The Ninth Princess waved her hand.
Youlan said, "The maiden is nothing big. She only respects the Ninth Princess. She is here to pay a visit and wants to meet the Ninth Princess."
"However, seeing the princess frown, is there anything difficult?"
"You still don't know?" The Ninth Princess asked.
Youlan laughed and said, "So it's about weapons. This matter is so stirring up. I'm afraid the entire The Nine Firmaments Continent has already spread."
"Since Her Highness is anxious for money, the maiden is willing to pay 100 million gold coins for the princess."
The Ninth Princess waved her hand and said impatiently, "I appreciate your kindness, but you should keep this hundred million gold coins for yourself."
"If there's nothing else, I'll have to send the guests off."
The Ninth Princess was very unhappy. On the one hand, it was about money and weapons. On the other hand, this Youlan's gaze was always sweeping across Xiang Nan's face, as if she had an "ill-intentioned" look on her face.
Xiang Nan was now the princess' great celebrity. Anyone who had "intentions" towards Xiang Nan, especially women, was the princess' imaginary enemy.
However, Youlan wasn't angry. She smiled and said, "How many clans in this world are able to accept such an order?"
"Could it be that the Ninth Princess has forgotten? The Whampoa Aristocrat Clan is currently in Tianyu City."
When the Ninth Princess heard this, she suddenly stood up. She was overjoyed, "What a wake-up call! How could I forget such an important matter!"
"Xiang Ru, I have to personally make a trip to this matter. Follow me."
The Ninth Princess was really anxious. She didn't even want to delay for a moment and immediately pulled Xiang Nan and Youlan out.
Outside the door, Xiang Nan flew directly, leading the two women all the way towards the headquarters of the Whampoa Aristocrat Clan.
On the way, the Ninth Princess took the time to discuss with Xiang Nan how to borrow the money.
The Whampoa Aristocrat Clan had branches on various roads, usually built in cities of special significance.
The Whampoa Aristocrat Clan's Tianyu City branch was located on a mountain in the east of the city. The Panshan official road winded upwards, and there was a large private manor at the top of the mountain.
Upon learning that the Ninth Princess of the The Haotian Empire had requested to see her, the Whampoa Aristocrat Clan did not dare to neglect her. They immediately came out to welcome her.
Welcome Hall.
"What? You can't decide?" The Ninth Princess suddenly stood up. She stared at the old man in front of her and angrily said, "Don't play tricks on me!"
"If you're afraid of the The Profound Sky Sect , just say it. I know you're the manager of the Heavenly Universe City Branch. You can't make the decision. Who can make the decision?"
The old man smiled and said, "Princess, don't be angry. Before this, this old man was indeed in charge of the business around Tianyu City."
"However, the sect ranking tournament is approaching. The clan feels that this is a great business opportunity, so they have already appointed a senior clan official to temporarily take over."
"Then where is the upper echelon?" The princess asked.
The old man replied, "Our Whampoa Clan is located in the The Nine Firmaments Continent . There are a total of three branches, one on the east bank, one on the south bank, and one on Tian Yu City."
"At this moment, the high-ranking members of our Whampoa Aristocrat Clan have already gone to the south bank to deal with our clan's affairs. I will send a message for you right now. Please wait patiently."
"Can I still wait!" The Ninth Princess said anxiously, "Quick, quick, quick."
"Yes, Your Highness." The old man bowed slightly and shook his hand to release a message. The message quickly disappeared into a ray of light.
"This is already the second day. The deadline will be reached in three days." The Ninth Princess walked around impatiently, her heart burning.
Until now, she had never complained about Xiang Nan. She had never complained about Xiang Nan making such a huge bet with Xuan Qingzhu.
