C1232 Truthfulness

Upon hearing Shao Quan's question, Ding Xiao smiled and said, "If I told you the truth, would you believe me?"

Shao Quan was curious. Since he told the truth, why didn't he believe it?

He nodded and said, "If you are willing to speak the truth, then of course I will believe you."

Hearing that, Ding Xiao said, "Actually, I knew about it in a dream. I dreamed about the scene where I came here today, and I also saw you handing the stone over to me. I also saw the stone absorbing the energy in my body …"

"Even if you did, how would you know anything else?" Shao Quan couldn't help but interrupt him and ask.

Ding Xiao twitched his mouth, "If I told you that this was all told in my dream, would you really believe it?"

Hearing what he said, Shao Quan did not really believe him. What he said was definitely a bit too inconceivable.

However, wasn't the stone even more unfathomable?

Therefore, Shao Quan decided to believe Ding Xiao's words.

"I hope that you can keep this a secret. Even if you die, you must not let a third person know about it. Do you understand?"

"Of course I understand. If anyone knew about this, it would cause a huge uproar."

Ding Xiao replied.

Since the two of them could be considered to be standing on the same line, Shao Quan didn't hide anything and told them everything about the stone.

Of course, what he knew was very limited, he only gave the other party some suggestions from his many years of experience.

At the end of that year, Shao Quan auctioned the stone for one million each in the name of everyone. Afterwards, he could receive some energy from time to time.

Ding Xiao might have just gotten his stone, so he didn't have enough of it, so he kept it by his side.

And because Ding Xiao had the help of that stone, he also became the richest person in the area. Afterwards, he also had his own seat in the business circles.

In addition, his life was as smooth as the wind, as if he was on the verge of death.

Because the two of them shared the same secret, their relationship was getting better and better.

But for some reason, in the past two years, the stone had become more and more unstable. Especially when it turned black, the energy it absorbed became incomparably violent. Ding Xiao couldn't control it and once, it almost injured someone.

That was why they came up with this method, using the auction to send the stone out.

However, he never expected that the energy would flow into Zhou Yi's hands in the end, and Zhou Yi actually sucked it in. Ding Xiao suffered a backlash and became an old man.

After Zhou Yi finished listening, he felt that what he said didn't contradict anything.

Then he suddenly thought of a question they had previously mentioned, and asked: "I heard from the outside that you were going to give money to a certain person. Who is that person?"

After hearing Zhou Yi's words, Shao Quan's face immediately became unsightly.

From the looks of it, he didn't want to divulge this matter.

Zhou Yi also looked at him patiently. He didn't want to say anything, so he didn't give up either.

Shao Quan sighed and said, "This is the real trouble. I think you are very capable, sir. I wonder if you can help us with this."

"What's the trouble?"

Zhou Yi had a hunch that this was what he really wanted to know.

Shao Quan looked at Zhou Yi for a full 30 seconds, then finally said with a dejected look, "Actually, not only the two of us know about this, there's also a third person who knows about it!"1

"A third person?" Zhou Yi squinted his eyes, he suddenly had a premonition in his heart.

"That's right, it's the third person. He knows the secret of both of us, and every month, we have to pay a certain amount of energy and money to be able to stabilize him." Shao Quan's words carried a hint of helplessness.

"You can't beat them with your skills?" Zhou Yi asked.

In their current situation, ordinary people shouldn't be their match, and they couldn't possibly be restricted by an ordinary person.

"No, he's very powerful. I even feel that he's as powerful as you." Shao Quan looked up and said.

"As powerful as me?" Zhou Yi sneered in his heart. How is it possible for me to be as powerful as him?

Unexpectedly, Shao Quan nodded very seriously, "That's right, he's really powerful. He actually appeared in our room out of thin air while we were absorbing energy, and saw through what we did on the spot."

"And then he threatened us..." Shao Quan sighed helplessly.

Zhou Yi thought, that person wasn't just trying to break through, he was probably trying to pick a fight.

Thus, he asked, "Where is he?"

"He, he never had a fixed home, every month when the day comes, he will send someone to deliver an energy box. We will force the energy out of the box, and then that person will take it away again." Shao Quan explained.

Zhou Yi never expected the other side to have such strong defensive capabilities.

"How long until the next time?" Zhou Yi thought for a while and asked.

Speaking of this issue, Shao Quan's face turned even uglier than before, "The day of gathering energy is coming in two days, but now Ding Xiao has become like this. How can I fill that box by myself?"

"So, sir, can you save Ding Xiao?"

"It's not that I can't save him!" Zhou Yi said, "But you must be ordinary people. You only have your current appearance with the help of external forces. Even after I saved him, he could only return to the appearance of an ordinary old man, not your current appearance."

"What?" Do you mean that he will never recover? " Shao Quan said in surprise.

"That's right, even that rock of his has already turned into powder. Do you think he will still be able to recover?" "Unless …"

Saying that, Zhou Yi paused for a moment before his gaze landed on Shao Quan.

Shao Quan was stunned.

He already knew what Zhou Yi meant the moment he looked at him.

Seeing Shao Quan's conflicted expression, Zhou Yi said indifferently, "You are not cultivators, so after this energy enters your body, you can only use it, not store it. These things must be external forces, it's already not bad for you to be able to achieve this in fifty years.

Zhou Yi continued, "If this goes on, I think you will suffer some energy backlash soon. At that time, without energy to support you, your body will decline very quickly. Maybe it will only be a day or a few days and you will become like him."

Zhou Yi turned around and looked at Ding Xiao, who was on the sickbed.

Shao Quan's lips trembled and he wanted to say something, but after looking at Zhou Yi, he swallowed his words.

"Then … Then what should I do?" After a long while, Shao Quan finally opened his mouth.

Zhou Yi smirked, "What you need to do is very simple …"
