Xianxia: I Can Download Fully Levelled Abilities-Chapter 490 - The Xiao Family City

So, this is your plan?”

In the wine shop, He Qi finished the top-grade Peach Blossom Brew that Victor had bought with a thousand spirit stones in one gulp and burped contentedly.

Seeing this scene, Victor frowned and seemed to be a little unhappy.

“Hey, this wine cost me a thousand spirit stones.”

“Damn, don’t mind such things. Seriously, do you really think your plan will work?”

“Is there anything wrong?”

In Victor’s opinion, most people did not want to see the Western Plains Dynasty and the Southern Plains’ Xiao family working together. Even if they could not change the current situation, it would still be nice to disturb the Xiao family.

“You want to take advantage of Xiao Chenggan’s advancement to the nascent soul realm to market his reputation, but I want his reputation to worsen. For an important figure like the Xiao family, losing face is worse than anything else.

“No. Your plan won’t work. Now that the Xiao family knows your identity and that the eldest daughter who fled from the Xiao family is by your side, have you thought of the price you will have to pay if you approach them?

“Given the Xiao family’s character, it is highly likely that they will accuse you of something you didn’t do and arrest you.”

“Are you saying that they will arrest me in front of everyone? Forgive me for being blunt, but that is practically impossible.”

“There’s nothing impossible about it. If they really want to put the blame on you, they will find ways. Moreover, you did indeed take away the eldest daughter of the Xiao family. Regardless of whether she was willing or not, regardless of what methods you used, this is the truth. For an existence like the Xiao family, what they care about is never the process. They only care about the outcome. If they say that they will force the eldest daughter of the Xiao family back by capturing you, don’t worry, they will definitely do so.”

He Qi spoke with assurance and confidence. He finished the entire table of food without batting an eyelid as he smacked his lips.

“You seem to be very familiar with the Xiao family?”

“No, if I were in their shoes, I’d do the same. I would use a little bit of my reputation to exchange for an even more perfect son for the Xiao family. This transaction is very worth it.”

“What you said does make sense. In that case, do you have a better way to deal with this?”

“Actually, at times like this, we shouldn’t make things so complicated. Let me ask you, the Western Plains Dynasty came all the way to the Xiao family. At that time, they will stay in the Xiao Family City, right?

“In other words, the protection of the Western Plains Dynasty would naturally be handed over to the Xiao family.

“Think about it, if we kidnapped the Princess of the Western Plains Dynasty at this time, what would they think?

“They called themself the overlord of the Southern Plains, yet, they can’t even protect their in-laws. Let me ask you, wouldn’t the people of the Western Plains Dynasty feel uneasy in their hearts?”

He was suddenly enlightened.

It had to be said that sometimes, Victor would always complicate things. Just as He Qi had said, if they could kidnap the princess of the marriage alliance, then all the problems would naturally arise and turn into an irreversible situation.

For example, the Western Plains Dynasty and the Southern Plains’ Xiao family might turn against each other?

This was absolutely possible.

Thinking up to this point, Victor could not help but admire He Qi. Sometimes, He Qi could indeed give him an unexpected surprise.

“How is it? Is this method worth a thousand spirit stones?”

“It’s hard to say. Do you think that just the two of us can break into the heavily guarded Xiao Family City and kidnap the princess under the eyes of countless experts? To put it bluntly, this is just a plan. If you want to carry it out, there are still many loopholes. Therefore, I can only give you 500 spirit stones.”

“Alright, 500 is fine too! However, when the time comes, I will lend you a hand. This should at least be 5000, right?”

“We’ll talk about it when the time comes. If it succeeds, your debt will be written off. Not only that, as long as your expenses in the future are not too exaggerated, I will cover it.”

That was right. In the past few days, Victor had roughly estimated that He Qi had spent at least 30,000 spirit stones! Damn it, what kind of family could afford such expenses?

One had to know that Victor’s spirit stones were all obtained from the auction in White Dragon City. After he traveled around, he was only left with around two million spirit stones. It sounded like a lot, but when it came to spending, it flowed like water.

Therefore, Victor and He Qi made a three-point agreement. First, except for the expenses at the brothel, all other expenses were considered to have been borrowed from Victor by He Qi, and he would have to pay it back sooner or later.

Second, He Qi could also choose to pay with his body. Of course, it was not the traditional sense of paying with one’s body. If Victor needed him to make a move, based on the danger level, with the minimum at 2,000 spirit stones, He Qi could he could exchange it for spirit stones according to the minimum danger level of two thousand spirit stones.

If Victor needed He Qi to make a move, he could exchange it for spirit stones with a minimum danger level of 2,000 spirit stones.

Thirdly, He Qi could choose to use magical artifacts, pills, and so on to exchange them for spirit stones of equivalent value. Of course, it would depend on Victor. Whether he wanted it or not, it was all up to him to decide.

To be honest, the three requests that Victor made were nothing at all. Therefore, He Qi did not take them seriously and agreed immediately.

“In any case, how much do I owe you if you exclude these 500 spirit stones?”

He Qi counted with his fingers for a long time, but he still could not figure it out. So, he let Victor calculate. He believed that Victor did not have a despicable character.

“You still owe me 27,311 spirit stones. I’ll round it up for you, 27,000 spirit stones.”

“That’s great! I owe you 27,000 spirit stones then. Tsk, why are you looking at me like that? Isn’t it just a jar of wine? Okay, okay, hurry up and pack up. It’s time to go to the Xiao Family City.”

“… Alright.”

After leaving Hundred Birds City, He Qi was lucky enough to meet a caravan that happened to be heading to the Xiao Family City. This saved him a lot of trouble, and he followed the caravan all the way to the Xiao Family City.

Before parting with the caravan, the owner of the caravan gave Victor 2,000 spirit stones as a fee for protecting them throughout the journey. After all, on their journey to the Xiao Family City, the caravan encountered bandits three times and they were chased away by Victor and He Qi, hence avoiding a huge loss.

It was not some ill-gotten gains, and he had indeed contributed. Victor thought about it and did not refuse. He took it and turned around to give it to He Qi.

After all, He Qi had contributed a lot in the past few days. Victor basically did nothing, and he deserved it.

“However, when will the Western Plains Dynasty come? I have never seen a princess in my life.”

“Tsk, don’t you have any other ambitions? What’s so good about a princess? How can she be better looking than my unwed wives?”

Victor glanced at He Qi with disdain, then sighed and continued, “However, it should be soon. Look at the inner city of the Xiao Family City. The security is so tight. It’s easier said than done to sneak in.”

“Sigh, isn’t it easy if you change your appearance?”

“If it was as simple as that, someone would have long sneaked into the inner city of the Xiao family and killed Xiao Chenggan. Changing appearances. Do you really think they are all fools? Moreover, at this juncture, the Xiao family naturally wouldn’t want to see any accidents.”
