Chapter 2531 The real reason, Sihai’s concerns!
"Are you kidding me?"
When Ling Tian heard Si Hai's words, he frowned slightly, and a hint of suspicion appeared in his eyes.
In fact, when Sihai suggested taking Lingtian to see Captain Qi, he felt that Sihai in front of him must have started a plan to deceive him.
He originally thought that Si Hai would ask for top-grade crystals no matter what, and would also ask for dozens of mid-grade crystals again.
Who knew he only needed three?
And it’s a mid-grade crystal?
Although Ling Tian doesn’t know the purchasing power of crystals here for the time being, aren’t three medium-grade crystals a little too little?
This caused Ling Tian to begin to doubt whether Si Hai in front of him was deceiving him.
If he wanted to deceive, Ling Tian would find it easier and could find many solutions, but this kid... didn't seem to be deceiving himself?
Countless thoughts appeared in Ling Tian's mind, making him forget to speak for a moment.
Si Hai was also slightly stunned when he looked at Ling Tian, then hurriedly said, "No, three mid-grade crystals are really a good price. I was going to buy some things when I met Captain Qi, and this... I'm not going to spend it on myself."
He quickly explained, but Ling Tian didn't respond, so he gritted his teeth and took a deep breath, "Okay! Two! We can't go empty-handed, right? Just move to the city center and bring me some food, okay? Okay! Don't ignore me!"
Sihai was anxious. He didn't expect that even after he gave in, Ling Tian still didn't respond, as if he really wanted him to meet Captain Qi empty-handed.
Thinking of Captain Qi's character, Si Hai knew he would be severely beaten if he went over empty-handed, so he said hastily, "Alright! One! I'll make up for the rest, but you must buy me food when the time comes!"
This time, Ling Tian came back to his senses and happened to hear Si Hai's words. A puzzled look flashed in his eyes and he asked, "You... didn't you buy three? Why did you lower the price?"
Ling Tian's puzzled expression, as if he really didn't know about Si Hai's price reduction, made Si Hai very dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to vent it.
After all, if Ling Tian could really move to the city center, then his own...
"How about this! Give me a mid-grade crystal stone, and then wait for me here at three in the afternoon. I'll take you to see Captain Qi, okay? Your move to the city center is very important to me, so... help me! Okay?"
Sihai spoke with a pleading look on his face, almost kneeling down to beg Ling Tian to meet with Captain Qi.
Ling Tian tilted his head, noticing something amiss, and asked suspiciously, "You seem... really hoping I can move to the city center? Why? Do you want me to do something for you? How would it benefit you if I moved to the city center?"
Hearing Ling Tian's question, Sihai opened his mouth, hesitant.
Ling Tian looked at Si Hai's painful expression, shrugged his shoulders, and said indifferently: "Since you don't want to tell me the truth, then let's end this matter here. Anyway, I live quite well here, and..."
"I said!"
Before Ling Tian could finish, Si Hai spoke first: "I'm going to tell you the truth, but I hope you can help me. Don't worry, it's definitely not a difficult task. You just need to run some errands. The rest has nothing to do with you, and I won't rely on you forever."
Noticing the pain in Sihai's eyes, Ling Tian nodded seriously: "Well, as long as your reasons are sufficient, I will provide you with help. Even if I don't move to the city center, I will try to help you. But at the same time, you will need to answer a few questions for me."
"A few hundred will do!" Si Hai said hurriedly, "I... huh!"
Sihai exhaled, and after calming himself down, he slowly sat down. A flash of pain flashed across his eyes, and then he lowered his voice considerably, "Actually... I have a younger sister, three years younger than me. She's twenty-seven this year, and she's very sweet. Although she's not a warrior, she's quite famous in our area, and many boys hope to marry her."
After the words fell, Sihai raised his head slightly, a bitter smile curled up on the corner of his mouth: "It's a pity, fate is so cruel, who would have thought that my sister would be fine, but suddenly fainted and has never regained consciousness. I looked around, but no one had a reliable method, until..."
"Until one day, a raiding party came to our place, hoping to collect supplies. They accidentally noticed my sister's miserable condition. They laughed and said that my sister was malnourished and that she would wake up if they bought her some delicious food from the city center. I...but I can't go to the city center!"
A tear fell from the corner of Sihai's eye, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists: "If I were a powerful warrior, maybe my sister wouldn't be like this, but... I'm not, so I've been looking for people who can go to the city center, but here we have... almost no one!"
After saying that, Si Hai suddenly turned his head to look at Ling Tian, reached out and grabbed his shoulder, his eyes full of pleading, "But you can go! I believe that the high-grade crystal you handed over can allow you to live in the city center, so... can you help me when the time comes? Okay?"
Ling Tian frowned slightly at Si Hai's appearance, and did not answer in a hurry.
To be honest, Sihai's request for him to go to the city center actually suited Ling Tian's taste.
But at this moment, they knew nothing about Licheng, and if they went there rashly, they would inevitably get into trouble.
That's why he didn't want to agree so quickly. At least now, it was not the time to live in the city center.
But Sihai's sister...
If it really was just malnutrition, then Ling Tian did have a solution, but... could malnutrition really cause a coma for so long?
Just as Ling Tian was thinking, Si Hai looked at him, grabbed his shoulders with both hands and said, "Brother, I can see that you don't look like an ordinary person. You must be very powerful, so... you go to the city center and buy some things for me. Ideally, ask about my sister's situation. How about that?"
"As long as you can help me, you will be my benefactor. I am willing to go through fire and water for you all my life. As long as you..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Ling Tian couldn't bear to listen any longer and interrupted Si Hai, saying, "Well, I can't give you an answer. How about you take me to see your sister and I'll make plans then? What do you think?"
"can!"
Si Hai agreed to Ling Tian's suggestion. "Actually, I can tell you're not from here just by looking at your attire. Your clothes are too new. When we get to my house later, I'll give you your own clothes. That... will help you stay a little more low-key."
"Okay." Ling Tian smiled slightly, took two steps, and then stopped and said, "By the way, I want to ask you something, and I hope you can answer me seriously."
"You said."
"Do you...know Captain Qi?"
