Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 989: Fortune

"These fish were asked to be brought by a very important person in Tiecang Court. Although I don't know who asked me to bring them, the person who assigned me the task told me that I must deliver these fish to the designated location at the agreed time, and then someone else will forward them and eventually deliver them to that very important person. He said that if I haven't delivered them by that time, they will definitely kill me!" said the man.

"You want a few fish, but you have strict requirements on the delivery time. Do you want to risk losing someone's head for no reason?" Tie Hongyan said.

"The thought of losing your head is really too scary! But I can understand their strict requirements on the delivery time. They have to put the fish in a specific location at a specific time. It is related to fortune. Before the fish reach them, they also have requirements on the time when the fish are transferred to the next person. I am afraid of losing my head, but on the other hand, I really don't want to affect other people's fortunes because of my lateness." said the man.

Tie Hongyan said: "Is it not too late for you to go now? If there is anything you are having trouble dealing with, I can help you."

"It's still in time, it's still a long time before the time we agreed to meet with them! I'm not in a hurry now that all the fish are here. I was afraid that something might go wrong on the way today, so I came out long time in advance. I haven't reached the designated location yet, and I found on the road just now that a fish was missing. I thought it must have jumped out of the fish tank, so I hurried back to find it. The person I want to meet doesn't know about this, so I'll just send it there later. There's no need to trouble the acting clan leader for help! The acting clan leader and Wu Bidian saved the fish and returned it to me, which saved my life. I'm already very grateful!" the man said.

The man's guess was correct, the fish did jump out of the fish tank.

At that time, he held the handle made of the rope that tied the fish tank, and carried the fish tank in this way to a place close to the entrance of Ao Qian Palace. It happened that a few people were talking loudly not far away, and the sound was noisy. Although the fish made a sound when it jumped out of the fish tank, that sound was drowned out by other sounds. He didn't hear it at all and didn't know that the fish fell to the ground. He continued to walk and turned a corner after a few steps. Later, when passing an area with many trees, some leaves fell from the trees. He thought they might fall into the fish tank. He looked down at the fish tank and found that one fish was missing. He was anxious and hurried back along the original route to find the fish.

Wu Xunsheng said: "If time is short, what if you just go there with the five fish and arrive at the agreed time?"

The man said, "Five? If there are only five left, I won't dare to go! I will definitely lose my head if I go!"

Wu Xunsheng said: "It's not okay to arrive on time? And it has to be six?"

"There must be six!" the man said, "Not only that, it must be these six! Even if I have enough time to find a Three-World Swimming Fish somewhere else, it won't work. They will definitely be able to tell that one is different from the other five, and I'll lose my head just the same." The man said.

"Must it be these six? Why can they tell the difference even if we find another Three Worlds swimmer? Are these the only six that are the same, and the other Three Worlds swimmers look obviously different from these six?" Wu Xunsheng asked curiously.
