Looking at Xu Le, the corner of Zhang Ji's mouth twitched. If it weren't for the fact that a warlock should maintain a stable state, he would have punched him high and low.
Now he was in front of Chi Xiao, and he had made an appointment with great difficulty, so he shouldn't make a fool of himself in front of an outsider.
Zhang Ji subconsciously glanced at Chi Xiao.
Sure enough, although Chi Xiao didn't have any obvious expression, his whole face looked a little stiff.
Are you trying to hold back your laughter
Zhang Ji became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He stared at Xu Le in front of him and said:
"Friend, it's still unclear who knocked whom down first, why are you being so aggressive?"
"What? Move aside, my bullwhip is getting cold."
Xu Le's arrogant look almost made Zhang Ji feel numb. He wanted to run away, but was hindered by Chi Xiao who was beside him.
I almost got internal injuries.
"Aren't you afraid of being killed by a bullwhip so early in the morning?"
"What does it have to do with you if I eat bullwhips? Your family owns a bank, why do you care so much?"
Although Xu Le was arguing with Zhang Ji at the moment, he and Chi Xiao tacitly pretended not to know each other, and neither of them had any intention of speaking.
After being confronted by Xu Le several times in a row, Zhang Ji could no longer bear it.
"Do you know who I am? Where is this place? How dare you talk to me like this?"
Seeing that Zhang Ji was trying to use his power to bully others, Chi Xiao immediately frowned and stopped him in a very biased manner.
"Forget it, don't waste your time on these things, there are more important things to do."
Zhang Ji was stunned. He didn't expect Chi Xiao to speak out to stop him at this time... This made him even more uncomfortable.
It was obviously Xu Le who provoked first... Damn it, I can't lose my composure in front of Chi Xiao. It's really unwise to quibble with a commoner.
"Indeed, we have more important things to do than engage in a meaningless quarrel here."
Chi Xiao turned her head and was stunned. In fact, she just didn't want to see Xu Le suffer... She didn't have so many thoughts.
After all, she doesn't have many friends.
Since this is his territory and he has said that he will protect Xu Le, it would be unacceptable if he is still bullied.
As for Zhang Ji... he is just an ordinary person.
Although Xu Le didn't know what Chi Xiao was doing, he was busy, so he just didn't bother him.
It was a coincidence that we met here.
Thinking of this, Xu Le glanced at Xu Daqiang in the distance.
"Well, it must be a coincidence."
He held his bull whip soup and sat opposite Xu Daqiang.
This beef soup restaurant was doing very good business and there were many people, so there was nothing wrong with Xu Le choosing to sit down here. Although Xu Daqiang's expression changed a little, he didn't say much.
"Hey, move over here. Why are you taking up such a big seat by yourself?"
Xu Le yelled at Xu Daqiang, maintaining his previous arrogant attitude.
Xu Daqiang was also a little annoyed. He was clearly only occupying half of the seat, and Xu Le in front of him was obviously looking for trouble.
Considering his behavior just now, it was probably a trick.
If it were any other time, he would definitely have a good talk with Xu Le, but right now... No.
He had to wait for the auction house in the city center to open and sell the fruit as soon as possible.
Everything is illusory, only money is real.
Be patient!
Xu Daqiang moved to the side. Fortunately, Xu Le on the opposite side did not continue to push his way forward.
After sitting down, the other party started eating bull whip.
It’s just that the sound of Xu Le eating the bull whip was a bit loud, which made Xu Daqiang irritated.
"Eating so loudly... You are such a moron."
While Xu Daqiang was paying attention to Xu Le, Xu Le was also paying attention to him.
Ashes Fruit
In Xu Le's perception, this is a soul fruit that possesses the energy of a superior fruit.
Its strength is far beyond the two intermediate Night Demons he created. Although it is a mysterious ability, it possesses the aura of fire and darkness.
Very special fruit...
According to what Night Fury said before, he could resist intervening, but there was no way he couldn't help but pay attention.
After all, everyone would be curious about such a fruit.
"What direction will it develop in..."
While Xu Le was paying attention to Xu Daqiang, Chi Xiao was also paying attention to this mercenary.
The gray aura attracted Chi Xiao's attention. She had never seen a power that originated from the same source as herself.
The appearance of such power in such an ordinary mercenary was undoubtedly a great surprise to Chi Xiao.
“It’s a very special feeling…”
"Chi Xiao, who are you looking at?"
Zhang Ji on the side interrupted Chi Xiao's thoughts, which made her a little annoyed.
"Let's eat."
Chi Xiao had no intention of answering Zhang Ji, nor any obligation to do so. He simply focused on eating, only glancing at Xu Daqiang out of the corner of his eye.
Zhang Ji also noticed Chi Xiao's impatience.
He attributed all of this to Xu Le. If it weren't for Xu Le...
This is clearly a good opportunity to get in touch with Chi Xiao. It's all this bastard's fault. After the meeting, don't let him find him...
Many thoughts of revenge flashed through his mind, but he was still attracted by Chi Xiao's afterglow.
"Who is he focusing on? No, not that person, the mercenary on the opposite side."
Zhang Ji also noticed Xu Daqiang's presence at this time.
And he discovered one thing, not only Chi Xiao, but even Xu Le was paying attention to this mercenary.
"Is there anything special about this mercenary?"
Zhang Ji was not a fool either. From their previous encounter, he had already sensed that Xu Le was no ordinary person.
I can’t really say my exact level. Maybe there’s some gap between me and myself who was already level 5 when I was less than 30, but the gap isn’t as big as I imagined.
As for Chi Xiao, it goes without saying that he is the strongest being. All forces, including local forces and the Red Moon Temple, must pay attention to him.
The fact that these two people are paying attention to this ordinary mercenary at the same time can only mean one thing.
What's so extraordinary about this ordinary mercenary...
But why didn't he notice it
"What attracted their attention? Especially Chi Xiao. Under normal circumstances, how could Chi Xiao pay attention to an ordinary mercenary?"
Looking at Xu Daqiang, Zhang Ji already had some ideas in mind.
However, there were too many eyes on Xu Daqiang now, including Chi Xiao himself, so he had no way to do anything.
"Wait for an opportunity."
The four of them finished their breakfast almost at the same time. Of course, this was a deliberate act on their part.
After walking out of the door of the beef noodle restaurant together, Xu Daqiang left in a hurry.
It was just past 6 o'clock now, and he would need to wait a little longer before the auction house opened.
In this situation, he must find a safe place to stop.
Xu Le and the red-haired woman both looked a little strange, he had sensed it.
Walking quickly to the door of the auction house, Xu Daqiang simply smoked there and waited.
This is Tianrui Lifeng’s largest sales channel.
No matter how awesome you are, you still have to give the auction house some face here.
Xu Daqiang thought, he was standing at the door of the auction house. Even if you have some ideas, I don’t believe you can do it at the door of the auction house
With this thought in mind, Xu Daqiang squatted on the spot, waiting for the auction house to open.
He is just a small guy, he just wants to make some money and live a life of luxury.
"Right here, waiting..."
Xu Le stayed where he was and observed for a while. The expected robbery did not happen, and nothing special happened.
He felt that waiting like this was not a solution, so he looked at Chi Xiao.
I had previously promised Night Fury to investigate matters related to insects.
Before that, the matter of the Mother Tree Realm needs to be completed.
And with Chi Xiao's strength, she must have discovered something, and then she could communicate with her in the Mother Tree Realm.
With Chi Xiao's help, finding insects will undoubtedly be much easier.
As for Xu Daqiang's fruit.
Although it has extremely high value, if it is left alone and allowed to develop freely...
"Whether it's a good outcome or a bad outcome, the idea of free development means that I can no longer interfere.
The contact between me and Xu Daqiang just now was a bit over the line.
There is no need to interfere any further, as the fruit can always be felt."
Different from ordinary ancient Yinduo fruits, whether it is the two Night Demon Fruits or the Gray Fruit in Xu Daqiang's hand.
Xu Le could clearly feel their presence.
Although these fruits are unique, a large part of their original power belongs to themselves.
With such a marking function, Xu Le himself doesn’t really care who the fruit will eventually end up in.
In that case, let's deal with other things first.
"Ahem..."
Xu Le coughed lightly, and Chi Xiao in the distance immediately understood what he meant.
She glanced at Xu Daqiang. Although she was very curious about what this mercenary had hidden, she was not the kind of person who would do anything without scruples.
He would not actively attack an ordinary mercenary out of curiosity.
So Chi Xiao turned to Zhang Ji and said:
"I have to leave for a while because I have some things to do. The organization should still be dealing with the wounded and cleaning up the battlefield.
Let’s talk about the meeting later. I should be back before noon.”
The original world of two people turned into a world where Chi Xiao suddenly wanted to leave, and Zhang Ji was a little surprised.
This hard-earned opportunity to be alone is gone just like that
No progress at all...
"Well, then... go get busy."
Faced with Chi Xiao's request to leave, Zhang Ji was powerless to stop him, and he had no reason to stop him.
Chi Xiao's strength itself means that she is not under any supervision and can do things completely according to her own will.
This is also what Zhang Ji always finds troublesome.
"Okay, I'm leaving now."
After a simple hello, Chi Xiao left.
She and Xu Le had a tacit understanding and did not walk in the same direction, but after leaving Zhang Ji's sight, the two of them returned to the same block.
At this time, Zhang Ji, who stayed where he was, was not idle either. He turned his gaze to Xu Daqiang who was squatting at the door of the auction house.
He couldn't get close to Chi Xiao and couldn't find Xu Le, so could he not deal with an ordinary mercenary
Now that Chi Xiao is not here, no one pays attention to this mercenary.
That's perfect... I can get a better idea of what it is about him that attracted Chi Xiao and Xu Le's attention.
He walked quickly to Xu Daqiang, who had already spotted Zhang Ji walking towards him.
He wanted to leave, but he felt that leaving here would not necessarily make him safer.
This guy in front of him, I wonder if he will do anything to him here
"What are you doing?" As Zhang Ji approached, Xu Daqiang tightened his clothes and asked vigilantly.
Seeing his action, Zhang Ji immediately understood what he meant and put it in his clothes.
"I am the leader of the Tianjiang Society, Zhang Ji. I now suspect that you are related to a spy organization of the Red Moon Temple. Come with me."
Xu Daqiang thought of many reasons and excuses to find fault, but he could not think of such an excuse.
There is absolutely no possibility of rebuttal... because this is Tianrui Lifeng.
A place of hope, but still chaos.
"I, I didn't, you're talking nonsense, I do the same things every day, and I'm not a big shot, how could the Red Moon Temple choose a small shot like me as a spy?"
“It is precisely because he is a small-time figure that he betrayed Tianrui Lifeng’s information.
If you are innocent, you don't have to worry about anything. I would never wrongly accuse a good person.
Of course, no bad guy will be spared."
Zhang Ji spoke with righteousness, and his handsome expression and deep voice made people more convinced.
People around me feel the same way.
If you are not a spy, why don't you just cooperate with the investigation? What are you afraid of? Why are you panicking? You must be hiding something.
"You... I..."
Xu Daqiang had already guessed Zhang Ji's purpose. The other party was definitely after the fruit.
He was discovered after all. He didn't expect the other party to be so blatant.
"I won't go with you. I have to wait for the auction house to open."
"I advise you not to engage in fearless resistance. If you are really clean, you don't need to do this."
"No, go away."
"Why are you hiding? Are you hiding something? What's in your arms? Take it out."
Zhang Ji's attitude has begun to become very tough.
Xu Daqiang's slightly fearful expression further revealed his inner fear.
Seeing him like this, Zhang Ji was even more confident of victory and pressed forward step by step.
“Take it out!”
…
On Xu Le's side, after turning a few corners, he and Chi Xiao met on a street.
With almost no communication throughout the whole process, the two of them walked into a hotel one after the other...
Then... entered the same room.
This is certainly a very ambiguous behavior, but for hotel owners, it is commonplace.
Now that the Black Tide has just ended, many mercenaries and warriors are in a state of surviving a disaster.
In this situation, renting a room for entertainment is natural and commonplace.
As long as you pay, the hotel owner won’t even register any formalities. After all, everyone is under pressure.
Now is the time to release the pressure.
After entering the same room, Xu Le spread his hands towards Chi Xiao.
"It seems like this is the first time we are preparing to enter the Mother Tree Realm at the same time."
"Why, are you curious?"
"Well, I'm indeed curious." Xu Le told the truth.
Chi Xiao closed his eyes, then took off his blindfold and said to Xu Le:
"Come in."
Xu Le:
