Chapter 2581 The specific time is unexpected!
Ling Tian listened to the voices of the people around him, and his eyes fell on Mina who was not far away.
Noticing Ling Tian's gaze, Mina walked out from the bar, and when she reached the front of the crowd, she said softly, "Alright, I'll take Mr. Ling out for a bit. I have something to tell him. You all just do your own things. Everyone, go away. That's enough."
As Mina spoke, the people around her unexpectedly dispersed obediently.
Mina waited until everyone had dispersed before looking at Ling Tian and saying, "Come on, Mr. Ling, let's change seats and talk."
"Row."
Ling Tian knew that Mina wanted to talk to him because of Miao Xingwen, so he didn't refuse. He nodded and followed her upstairs.
This time, he did not enter the office where Miao Xingwen was before, but came to the room next door.
The layout of the room is very simple, with just a sofa and coffee table, and not even a desk.
After Ling Tian walked in, Mina explained, "This is Mr. Miao's reception room. Sometimes when there are a lot of people, they tend to chat here, so we put these sofas here so they can chat more comfortably. Mr. Ling, please sit down for a moment. I'll go get some drinks."
After she finished speaking, Mina walked out of the office and came back in with two cups of tea.
After placing the teacup in front of Ling Tian, Mina sat down on the sofa across from him, took a sip of her own tea, and then said softly, "Mr. Ling, you're probably curious about Mr. Miao's situation, right? I saw your expression just now, and it seemed to change instantly, as if you were very surprised."
"Yeah." Ling Tian nodded. "I came here today because I had something urgent to discuss with Mr. Miao alone, but I didn't expect...he wasn't here, and he was actually called away by the City Lord. So I was a little curious, but I didn't have too many thoughts."
"That's it..."
Hearing Ling Tian's words, Mina smiled slightly and paused for almost half a minute.
Then he spoke softly, "Then I guess Mr. Ling will have to wait a little longer. Mr. Miao probably won't be back until this afternoon. I heard Mr. Miao say that he needs to discuss with the city lord something about three months from now, which is when the passage will appear. There are some things Mr. Miao needs to do."
Mina didn't elaborate, but Ling Tian nodded slightly, a hint of surprise on his face, and at the same time, he had some understanding of Mina's emotional intelligence.
I thought that as the receptionist who knows everything about the gathering place of warriors, Mina would definitely be curious about what I wanted to talk to Miao Xingwen about.
But I never thought that just because of my words that I wanted to talk to Miao Xingwen alone, he didn't ask. To be honest, this is much better than many receptionists.
Of course, this was not enough to surprise Ling Tian. What really surprised him was the time when the channel was opened.
Three months...
This was the first time he heard about the opening of the passage.
He had asked Mina about the specific date before, but because they were talking about the martial arts tournament, they naturally skipped the topic.
But now, when it was brought up again, Mina actually told him directly that the channel would be opened in three months. To be honest, this was beyond Ling Tian's expectations.
He thought everyone said the channel would be opened soon, within this month.
I never thought that it would be three months later?
After a moment of surprise, Ling Tian exhaled and looked at Mina and said, "You mean... the passage to the Central Continent will open in three months?"
"Yes." Mina nodded and tilted her head: "Didn't I tell Mr. Ling? I remember I told him the time when the channel would open."
Ling Tian shook his head upon hearing this.
Seeing Ling Tian's reaction, Mina slapped her forehead and said with a helpless smile, "I'm sorry, Mr. Ling, this is my problem. I always thought I told Mr. Ling, but... I didn't expect that I forgot to tell you."
"The passage to the Central Continent will open in three months, but the martial arts tournament will be held next month, two months in advance. The top three will then complete the remaining two requirements. This is the general process for entering the passage."
After Mina finished speaking, she met Ling Tian's gaze and said with an awkward smile: "Um...this matter is indeed my fault. I hope Mr. Ling will not tell Mr. Miao, otherwise he will definitely be angry!"
After she finished speaking, Mina clasped her hands together and made a pleading expression.
In response to this, Ling Tian smiled faintly and waved his hand: "No."
After Ling Tian finished speaking, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
According to Mina, the passage will be opened in three months, but a martial arts competition will be held two months before, and the top three will then complete the remaining two requirements.
To be honest, the biggest impact of this process is that warriors who are not in the top three will not even have the opportunity to participate in the other two requirements.
This can be considered as a step-by-step screening to reduce unnecessary trouble.
This means that he must successfully enter the top three in the martial arts competition a month later to get a chance to leave the capital and go to the central continent.
Thinking of this, Ling Tian couldn't help but let out a sigh, his heart full of helplessness.
The thought that in order to leave the capital, I would need to participate in the so-called martial arts competition, and that I would have to complete the remaining conditions in the remaining two months, this... was truly torture.
Of course, if I could get cooperation with Miao Xingwen and get him to agree to talk to the city lord on my behalf, perhaps things would change.
But the possibility of this happening is not very high, so...
"If I win first place in the martial arts competition in a month, will there be any reward?" Ling Tian looked at Mina and asked softly.
"A top-grade crystal." Mina held up a finger. "I know this reward isn't outrageous, but you have to know that the ultimate reward for the tournament is a trip to the Central Continent. The Central Continent... this is a place countless warriors long for. Isn't this reward enough?"
"That's not what I meant." Ling Tian shook his head. "What I meant was, if I get first place in all three of my requests, can I designate someone to accompany me to the Central Continent and enter the passage with me? Is that possible?"
After hearing this, Mina was visibly stunned. She looked at Ling Tian with a puzzled look. After a moment, she shook her head and said, "This... there's no precedent. No one has ever done this before, so I'm not sure. But you can ask Mr. Miao about this. He should know."
"Row."
Ling Tian nodded in agreement, and Mina looked at him and said softly, "Who are you... going to bring with you? Is it your wife?"
