Request for Aid

Chen Fan studied the fluorescent token in his hand with a subtle expression.

This was the token Cheng Shifei had given him.

It looked simple, but a communication formation was built into it. Though it could not compare to the Sword Sect's true disciple token, it was far more advanced than an ordinary communication stone.

Besides allowing real-time conversation like a communication stone, it could also send and receive messages.

"Senior, are you still within Yuan Shen Province? I have a matter in which I ask for your help. The price is negotiable—"

Cheng Shifei's strength was ordinary, but he belonged to White Cloud Association, a major merchant association in Central Province, and his status seemed far from simple. The guards who had followed him back then had all been at the tenth level!

Chen Fan raised a brow, but did not reply.

There had only been a transaction between them, no friendship to speak of.

If Senior is willing to act, I am willing to transfer all my gains from back then to you,
