Zhao Wumian's question was interrupted by a scream, his expression displeased, and he cursed the woman in his heart.
The one being cursed was Yin Qing. She seemed to have lost her footing, her body tilting as she plunged into the endless sea of clouds.
The scream attracted everyone's attention. Lamei rushed over, and naturally, Zhao Wumian could not continue.
Yin Qing did it on purpose. She was very familiar with the endless sea of clouds, knowing that it was connected to the master's mind.
Moreover, once inside, she would be trapped, unable to get out, and outsiders could not rescue her. Only the master of the sea of clouds could personally release her.
She believed that if she were trapped in the sea of clouds, Feng Guiqu would definitely not stand by and do nothing; it would cause a huge commotion.
And she was here to attend the trade fair. Even if Feng Guiqu didn't act, the Mingyue Base wouldn't ignore it, and the master of the sea of clouds would surely appear.
"Qingqing, don't be afraid, I'll save you right now."
Hearing Yin Qing's piercing scream, Feng Guiqu panicked as her figure disappeared into the sea of clouds.
He raised his hand and sent out a gust of wind, blowing directly towards the sea of clouds. He wanted to use the wind to disperse the white clouds, so that Yin Qing could be revealed.
As a result, the hurricane he sent out vanished as soon as it touched the sea of clouds, leaving not a trace of wind.
The seemingly light white clouds were as steady as rocks, not moving at all.
Seeing that the hurricane was ineffective, Feng Guiqu waved his hand, and a giant blue dragon appeared, crashing directly into the sea of clouds.
This was his level nine wind elemental ability, condensed in a moment of desperation.
Let alone white clouds, even a city could be instantly turned into flat ground.
However, the snow-white sea of clouds was as solid as a fortress. After the blue dragon hit it, the sea of clouds did not disperse, but the blue dragon was shattered and turned into nothingness.
This outcome surprised everyone, including Zhao Wumian.
At first, he thought the sea of clouds was naturally formed, just an ordinary natural phenomenon.
Because he didn't feel any fluctuations of elemental energy, and when he saw that the sea of clouds remained unchanged under the attack of a level nine ability, he became curious.
He secretly locked onto a white cloud and used his ability to try to transform it into gold, but it didn't succeed.
He then became wary of the sea of clouds, knowing that this seemingly ordinary sea of clouds was not simple.
The Mingyue Base had experts. He had to be extremely careful in his subsequent actions.
"Sir, please calm down. I have already sent someone to notify our City Lord. Your companion will be out shortly."
When Lamei saw Yin Qing fall into the sea of clouds, she had her team members go find Mingyue.
Then she immediately returned to the scene to appease the about-to-explode Feng Guiqu. As soon as she finished speaking, Mingyue appeared.
Without any visible action from her, Yin Qing flew out of the sea of clouds. Upon seeing this, Feng Guiqu immediately flew up, held her in his arms, and landed back on the ground.
"It's all my fault for causing you trouble. My name is Yin Qing, what's yours? We'll be good sisters from now on!"
Breaking free from Feng Guiqu's embrace, Yin Qing, with a shy blush, walked timidly to Mingyue and thanked her in a low voice.
Her eyes, however, were fixed on Mingyue. She had no impression of Mingyue. Back in Jincheng, Mingyue had been hidden in space and had not appeared before her.
"The trade fair is about to begin. Lamei, lead everyone to the venue!"
Mingyue frowned, surprised that Yin Qing would appear here. She knew Yin Qing's character.
When she was in space, she had personally witnessed how Yin Qing dealt with Qingying and felt that Yin Qing was too fake.
So she completely ignored her, gave Lamei an instruction, and left.
"That is our City Lord, Mingyue. Please follow me. We have prepared souvenirs and product tastings for everyone in the main venue!"
Seeing Mingyue leave, Yin Qing's expression became a little awkward. Lamei quickly spoke up.
She answered for Mingyue, easing the awkward atmosphere, and then led everyone away.
"She is Mingyue? Yueyou, I like her!"
Staring at Mingyue's retreating back, a sharp glint shot from Zhao Wumian's eyes, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Yueyou, who was beside him, pouted and followed everyone away without a word.
"This is commercial fraud, false advertising, and deception of consumers.
Why aren't you giving out the free gifts? The invitation clearly states it.
As long as you attend the trade fair, each person will receive ten catties of giant rice and a basin-sized tomato.
Did you write this? I didn't add it myself, did I? But now that we're here, you're not giving us the gifts. Is there any justice?
I'm going to report you. If you don't give us the gifts, we'll cause trouble.
Don't even bother holding your trade fair. See who loses more. If you don't give them, we'll just live here and not leave.
We'll eat what you eat. There's food and drink here, and the environment is quite nice. We might as well move our base here."
As Lamei led Zhao Wumian and the others up the mountain, they heard a man's voice shouting from the plaza on the mountainside.
Everyone looked puzzled, not knowing what had happened, so they quickened their pace.
Upon reaching the plaza, they saw one to two hundred people gathered around the gift distribution area.
A muscular man in a tank top, shorts, and flip-flops was yelling at Mo Lan.
Mo Lan's eyes were already welling up with tears, her face full of helplessness, not knowing how to explain.
The one yelling at her was the leader of the White Tiger Base, Ren Jian.
He had led the brothers from his base to "reap the benefits." After the tour, he excitedly came to claim his gifts from Mo Lan.
He had already calculated that a total of 212 people from the White Tiger Base had come.
Ten catties of rice and one tomato per person meant 2,120 catties of rice and 212 tomatoes. They were truly making a fortune.
Mo Lan was stunned when she heard the numbers. The entire gift area combined didn't have that much.
This man was clearly here to "reap the benefits," so she didn't agree. As a result, Ren Jian flew into a rage.
He took out the invitation, put on a show of being wronged and wanting to defend his rights, and began to question them loudly.
"Sir, please lower your voice in a public place. You are disturbing others.
If you have something to say, say it nicely. I can help you solve it. Don't make things difficult for a young girl."
Wen Qingtian, who was verifying the next steps with Rose, heard Ren Jian's shouting and hurried over.
"Who are you? Can you make decisions about giving out gifts?"
Ren Jian was being smug, fanning himself with the invitation and looking askance at Wen Qingtian.
"I am Wen Qingtian, Minister of the Business Department of Mingyue Base. The invitation in your hand was delivered by me to the White Tiger Base.
The words on this invitation were also drafted by me. Do you think I can solve it?"
Wen Qingtian smiled and replied calmly.
"Finally found the right person. Let me ask you, do the words on this count?"
Upon learning Wen Qingtian's identity and that he had created the invitation, Ren Jian quickly grabbed him as if Wen Qingtian would run away.
"Of course, they count. Our base will strictly abide by the regulations on the invitation.
We will never engage in false advertising or deceive consumers. This is integrity."
Wen Qingtian's face was serious, and his words were firm. This involved the image of the base and could not be ambiguous.
"I like people like you. Brother, then prepare it. 2,120 catties of rice and 212 tomatoes.
Just put them aside, and we'll take them all when we leave."
Seeing Wen Qingtian's confident assertion, Ren Jian smiled, put his arm around Wen Qingtian's shoulder, acting like a close friend.
"I'm sorry, we cannot fulfill your request. You should read the text on the invitation carefully."
A playful smile appeared on Wen Qingtian's face as he refused Ren Jian's request.
