Qianye walked around the residence, unceremoniously taking all the things Zhang Xuance brought for himself. He picked up a few seasonal fresh fruits, stuffed them to little Zhu Ji, and let her nibble slowly, and then opened the courtyard door to let Ji Rui in.
Ji Rui stood outside the courtyard gate for an entire hour, but showed no sign of impatience. When he saw Qianye, he was all smiles, nodding and bowing. Guan Zhongliu next to him had a livid face, looking at Qianye with a somewhat unfriendly gaze.
Qianye already didn't give Ji Rui any face, but as Ji Rui's subordinate and old friend, Guan Zhongliu, who had always been tough, ignored Qianye's combat power, so he really couldn't put on a good face.
Qianye turned a blind eye to Guan Zhongliu, but nodded to Ji Rui and said, "Come in."
Guan Zhongliu also wanted to follow in, but fortunately Ji Rui knew how to read people's words, turned around and said, "You go back, my lord and I need to talk about something."
Guan Zhongliu was reluctant and nodded in agreement.
Qianye frowned slightly, and shouted: "Stop!"
Guan Zhongliu stopped and turned around, "Why?"
Qianye looked at Guan Zhongliu, and said coldly: "Why, we're not here for a while, are you getting angry, or do you have a new backer?"
Ji Rui was shocked, and hurried over to stand in front of Guan Zhongliu, and said with a smile, "Old Guan has been a little upset recently, and he's in a bad mood. Don't be as knowledgeable as this idiot, sir."
While talking, Ji Rui repeatedly pushed and sent off, forcing Guan Zhongliu away, and when he turned to Qianye, he put on a smiling face again.
Qianye returned to the living room and sat down, looking at Ji Rui. After not seeing him for a while, Ji Rui became fatter, and he seemed pampered and had no intention of cultivating.
"City Master Ji, it seems that you have had a good time these days."
Ji Rui shuddered, forced a smile and said, "I don't have anything to worry about, I just need to sit on the ground and collect some small money. What else can I be dissatisfied with?"
Qianye nodded, and said, "That Mr. Zhang is also very satisfied with you, quite satisfied. Even Commander Guan doesn't pay attention to me. I heard that after he comes, you will still be the city lord?"
Ji Rui smiled even more reluctantly, his fat face began to sweat, and said: "Everyone knows that I am just a name, and everyone let me sit in this position, just because I felt that I had worked hard to develop Nanqing back then. That's all. I don't care about anything in the city now, Guan Zhongliu's commander is just a false name, what can he command now? It's just a hundred guards in my mansion."
Qianye didn't speak, just looked at him.
Ji Rui gradually fidgeted, sweating layer by layer, and wiped it over and over again, but couldn't get it clean no matter what.
Qianye finally opened his mouth: "Master Ji, you don't seem to be feeling well?"
Ji Rui smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know what's wrong, but when I saw you, I felt weak all over. It's not that I'm uncomfortable, it's just that I was scared by you. It's really strange. In the past, when I faced the wolf king It’s never been like this either. Master Qianye, did you have some adventures in the maelstrom, why did you become so powerful all of a sudden?”
Qianye raised his eyes slightly, and said: "City Master Ji can sit in this position for so many years, and he really can speak. I am still me. If there is any change, it is that my cultivation base has been promoted to another level. Now I am tenth. Level six, still one level lower than you, the city lord."
Ji Rui immediately shook his head, "Levels are meaningless to you. I've never seen anyone at level 16 who can run away with one face to face."
"You didn't come to see me to talk about these things, did you?"
"My lord, I just want to tell you about Mr. Zhang... Zhang Xuance's coming to Nanqing."
"Say it."
Ji Rui had the opportunity to wipe off his sweat and told the whole story.
He had just finished speaking when he suddenly felt that there was something strange behind him. Even though Qianye was in front, he couldn't help but look back. Turning around, what caught my eyes was Zhu Ji's little face, which was just a bit disastrous for the country and the people.
Ji Rui only felt that this face was familiar, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, and remembered where he had seen this face before.
"It's you!" Ji Rui screamed, his whole body became limp and weak, and he overturned the chair together. He rolled a few times and bumped into the wall, then sat up against the wall, pointed at little Zhu Ji, trembling all over, unable to speak.
He finally thought of little Zhuji, and the past when she poisoned countless mercenaries in one fell swoop. At this moment, in his eyes, Zhu Ji's expression is far from cute, it is clearly the way carnivorous animals look at their favorite food. He touched his body subconsciously, wanting to see if he had been poisoned by a strange poison, and he would not live long.
"Zhu Ji, come here." Qianye called out.
The little guy reluctantly came behind Qianye, leaned on his back, and said softly: "It doesn't look very tasty..."
"Sure enough!" Ji Rui was shocked.
Little Zhuji added, "It doesn't taste good when cooked, it's too greasy."
Qianye suddenly had a headache, and reprimanded: "This kind of thing is not allowed to be said in front of people in the future."
Ji Rui, on the other hand, felt like he had been pardoned. He was ecstatic in his heart, and secretly made up his mind that if he came back alive, he would eat extra meals. After that, he would eat five meals a day, and try to gain another 30 catties within a month.
There is no one good at Qianye's side! This little girl does not know why, but she is still a cannibal.
Qianye pointed to the chair, and said, "City Master, sit down. You are so afraid of me and her, did you do something wrong, so you feel guilty?"
Ji Rui was startled, and hurriedly said: "My lord, I have said everything. Now... I don't even plan to have a future in cultivation, so why should I feel guilty."
In the end, Ji Rui's voice was already a bit bitter.
Qianye pondered for a while, and said: "I roughly know what happened this time. You go back first, and make a decision after I figure out the whole thing."
"Yes, my lord." Ji Rui bowed and exited the small courtyard, and walked away quickly. It was obvious that he didn't want to stay here any longer.
After Ji Rui left, Qianye sat quietly without speaking or moving, and fell deeply into his own world.
But little Zhuji couldn't rest for a moment, jumping up and down in the whole courtyard, and couldn't find anything new in a blink of an eye, came to Qianye again, climbed onto his body, and arched hard.
What strength she has now, even though she is acting like a baby, it is not something that anyone can bear. With Qianye's physique, he also felt some pain. If it was an ordinary strong man, probably a few ribs would be smashed.
Qianye finally noticed little Zhuji's abnormality, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Itches, itches all over my body, my bones are sore, I want to fight, I can spray poison." Little Zhu Ji opened her mouth, panting.
She was panting so much that Qianye was also a little startled. He held the little guy up in front of his eyes, looked at it carefully for a long time, and asked a few more questions before he understood the reason.
It turned out that the heart of the six-armed giant was too tender, and quickly allowed the little guy to go through the ten-year growth period. Now she wakes up from a deep sleep, growing her body every moment, so she can't vent the excess energy. According to the nerubian's nature, this is the season of hunting and killing. The nerubians in the same nest, and even those born in this season, will start hunting in the vast world. Their enemies are not only fierce beasts and other dark races, but also the same race in the same season.
In the extremely bloody fight, only the strongest Nerubian will survive and have the opportunity to awaken a powerful wisdom. Although the nerubians have been able to control the slaughter among their own race after gradually entering civilization, the natural instinct formed over tens of thousands of years is still there.
At this time, little Zhu Ji began to have violent tendencies. However, most of the nerubians are controlled by instinct at this time, and the little guy is already quite intelligent. While arching against Qianye, she began to think.
"What are you thinking about?" Qianye asked. It's no wonder he would ask, little Zhu Ji was so absorbed in her thoughts that she was not even paying attention to Qianye with her head.
"Dad, you should go to war."
"Oh, hit who?" Qianye asked with great interest.
"Those who robbed you! They don't look weak, and they must be very enjoyable to fight."
"Why fight?"
"Because I went to fight, I can fight, and I can spray poison." The little guy accidentally got tricked out of the truth.
Qianye couldn't laugh or cry again. This little guy is really a bit too smart. In order to fight and spray poison for himself, he actually provoked himself to launch a war of revenge. I don't know who he learned from. At this time, other nerubians would just sneak out and fight instinctively, right
Qianye patted her on the head and said, "Wait a few more days, there will be fights."
Little Zhuji pursed her lips and said reluctantly, "Okay, I'll wait."
Qianye nodded and fell into deep thought again.
It was getting late, and it was dark in the house. Little Zhu Ji looked around, and finally went to light the lamp by herself. Nerubians have well-developed perception, and the darkness had no effect on them. But little Zhuji grew up with Song Zining and Qianye, and she has long been used to the days with lights.
She ran up to Qianye, put her chin on her hands, and stared at Qianye fiercely.
After watching for a while, Qianye finally noticed something, and said, "What's wrong?"
"Dad, what's wrong with you?" the little guy asked back.
"Me? I'm fine." Qianye was a little puzzled.
"You've changed a lot, that's, that's..." Little Zhu Ji tried hard to find words to describe her, but she grew up too fast and her vocabulary was still lacking.
After serious thinking for a long time, little Zhuji finally found the right words, "You are always distracted."
"Distracted?"
"Yeah! A lot of people talk to you in front of you, but you ignore them. You don't know they're talking to you until a long time later. Well, these guys think you're belittling them, and they have hostility."
Qianye looked at little Zhuji, with a strange look in his eyes, "Can you feel the hostility in their hearts?"
The little guy nodded vigorously, "Obviously."
Since beheading Zhang Xuance's four guards and severely wounding the old man with one blow, everyone in Nanqing City will be respectful and respectful when they see Qianye, and they will hide their thoughts well. How dare people see the slightest bit hostility? However, the little guy can perceive this, and his talent is a bit scary.
"Okay, I was thinking about something."
"What are you thinking? Are you thinking about your aunt?"
"… yes."
"If you miss your aunt, go talk to her."
Qianye was silent, and then said softly: "Go now... she has already left."
"When will Auntie come back?"
"… have no idea."
