Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Shadow
Qiu Chi was silent, thought for a moment, and guessed: "Brother Chen wants me to help the Xiao family get the second round of challenge qualifications?"
Chen Yuan nodded, and Qiu Chi smiled bitterly: "Why is Brother Chen so confident in me, I may not be the opponent of the first day of the major families." ”
Chen Yuan laughed and said: "You don't need to be humble, I can see the battle between you and Xiao Hong, you know Xiao Hong's strength, even the first day of the major families is not his opponent, if you show the strength to fight against him, it will be easy to win the game." ”
Qiu Chi still had concerns: "But I don't even have a realm, and Xiaochen is suspicious by nature, so it's impossible to trust me as an outsider." ”
"It doesn't matter, you just have to show him what you're capable of. Also, I have a friend who knows how to disguise, and I asked him to help you disguise, and if you change your voice a little, they won't recognize you. ”
"Okay, I'll try. Qiu Chi thought about it for a moment and agreed.
Chen Yuan stood up, walked to Qiu Chi's side, patted him on the shoulder, and explained, "Be sure to pay attention to safety." ”
Qiu Chi nodded, and also advised: "Brother Chen should also be optimistic about that Xiao Hong, don't let him run away." ”
Chen Yuan promised: "Don't worry, I will send more people." ”
With that, Tatsubuchi left the attic with Akichi and went to find his friend who knew how to disguise.
That person's disguise skills were very superb, and he quickly transformed Akichi into another person, and he couldn't see the slightest flaw.
Qiu Chi deliberately lowered his voice again and said, "Without further ado, I'll go first." ”
Chen Yuan nodded and stopped talking.
Qiu Chi came to the gate of the owl's house, and after thinking of a countermeasure, he said to the guard, "I ask to see the head of your family. ”
The guard asked, "Who are you?"
Qiu Chi said in a low voice: "You just said that Xiao Hong sent someone." ”
The guard naturally recognized Xiao Hong, nodded hurriedly, and ran towards the mansion.
In a few moments, the guard returned and saluted, "The master of the house, please." ”
Akichi strode in, followed the guidance of the guards, and came to a large hall.
Xiao Chen was standing at the door of the main hall, as if waiting for him.
Qiu Chi clasped his fists and saluted, "Meet the head of the family." ”
Xiao Chen's tone did not carry any emotion, and said indifferently: "Xiao Hong sent you?"
Qiu Chi smiled in his heart, this Xiao Hong really has something to do with the Xiao family, and he got this kind of information by deceit.
Qiu Chi nodded and replied, "Yes!"
"Why didn't he come himself?" Xiao Chen then asked.
"He has important things to do, and the City Lord's Mansion has been more strict recently, so I'm afraid that there will be trouble when I come out. Qiu Chi made up a reason, worried that Xiao Chen would see through, but fortunately, Xiao Chen didn't study it in detail, just nodded silently, and Qiu Chi also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Han on the side was not happy, and asked loudly: "When is it, there are still important things, no matter how big the matter is, can it be compared to the position of the city lord? You go back and tell him that if this mission fails, we will all have to lose our heads!"
Qiu Chi frowned, he didn't know what task Xiao Han was talking about, and Xiao Chen suddenly asked at this moment, "How is Xiao Hong's preparation?"
Qiu Chi asked tentatively, "You mean ......?"
Xiao Han said impatiently: "Nonsense, of course it's a matter of attacking Chen Yuan from inside and outside!"
After Qiu Chi heard this, he was suddenly shocked in his heart, he didn't expect the Xiao family to start the layout so early.
Xiao Chen glared at Xiao Han and reprimanded: "Didn't I say it, such things must not be leaked." ”
Xiao Han looked indifferent, and retorted: "What are you afraid of, Chen Yuan is an old thing anymore, what can I do if I find out, besides, I'm talking to my own people." ”
Xiao Han's nerves helped Qiu Chi a lot, and Qiu Chi took the opportunity to play and replied, "Everything is ready." ”
Xiao Chen nodded, since the other party knew the relationship between Xiao Hong and the Xiao family, he must also be Xiao Hong's cronies, and then said: "Let's strive to get the second round of challenge qualifications, I will directly kill Chen Yuan in the ring, if you miss, let Xiao Hong cooperate with us inside and outside to win the position of the city lord." ”
After Qiu Chi listened, he was afraid for a while, he thought that Xiao Hong was the only one in the City Lord's Mansion, but he didn't expect to arrange so much, and fortunately, Xiao Hong's arrest was not leaked, otherwise not only the City Lord's Mansion, but even himself would not be able to escape.
Akichi asked, "Is the head of the family sure that he will qualify for the second round of the challenge?"
Xiao Chen calculated, but he didn't dare to say too much, and said: "There is about fifty percent certainty." The elders don't have to worry too much, but the younger generation ...... There are a lot of good seedlings in other families. ”
Qiu Chi smiled slightly and said, "I was ordered this time to help my clan win the qualification. ”
Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said with a smile: "Could it be that you want to participate in the first day of the competition?"
Qiu Chi did not deny it, neither humble nor arrogant: "I dare to think that my strength should not lose to them." ”
"There is no basis for saying this, Xiaoying is the first day of my Xiao's family, if you want to participate in his place, you have to pass his level first. Xiao Chen left Qiu Chi with a challenge, wanting to see if he had enough strength.
Qiu Chi said with some displeasure: "You should have heard a sentence from the head of the family, don't use suspicious people, don't doubt people, if you doubt my strength, then I can only leave with regrets." ”
Qiu Chi said that, and was about to turn and leave.
Xiao Chen hesitated for a moment and dissuaded: "Wait, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that this Xiaoying has a bad temper, he has been preparing for this competition, if he is rashly replaced, and he is not given enough reasons, I'm afraid he will make trouble." ”
The corners of Qiu Chi's mouth secretly rose, and he discussed with Xiao Chen: "It's okay if you want me to compete with him, but if the family can get the qualification for the challenge, do I have to count it as a merit." ”
Xiao Chen immediately agreed, and said, "No problem, when I successfully sit on the position of city lord, I can give you whatever reward you want." ”
Qiu Chi shook his head and said, "I can't wait until then, I hope that the family will send me a team of men to help Lord Xiao Hong attack the City Lord's Mansion, and I can also make a meritorious service." ”
Xiaochen laughed, he didn't expect the other party to value credit so much, "That's fine, I promise you." ”
Qiu Chi said happily: "Without further ado, please take me to see him." ”
Xiao Chen commanded Xiao Han: "Xiao Han, you take him there." ”
Xiao Han nodded, and led Qiu Chi to Xiao Ying's residence.
When the two were on the road, Qiu Chi suddenly saw a familiar figure, it was the eyepatch man Xiaoying who led people to intercept him outside the city that day.
Qiu Chi was secretly surprised in his heart, he didn't expect that the thing of intercepting himself was actually done by the Xiao family, and now it seems that the two general-level powerhouses in the secret realm should also be from the Xiao family.
Qiu Chi said tentatively: "By the way, has our Xiao family recently fallen two strong men?"
Xiao Han glanced at Qiu Chi and said angrily: "Alas, don't mention it, I sent two general-level elders to hunt down and kill a person from Chenyuan, who knew that it would fall into his hands, and the others who were intercepted outside the city later were also killed, and four of the five people were lost, I really don't know where he is." When I break through the City Lord's Mansion, I will definitely break his body into thousands of pieces and avenge the people of my Xiao family!"
Qiu Chi smiled bitterly and didn't speak, but Xiao Han continued: "Xiao Ying told me, that kid has an extremely weird water area, and in the water, their strength has been greatly suppressed, and that kid's fist and sword skills are superb, which is difficult to parry. ”
Qiu Chi secretly screamed that it was not good, if the people of the Xiao family knew their methods, I am afraid that they would be exposed when the fight started.
Thinking of this, a voice suddenly came: "Great Elder, why are you here?"
Qiu Chi followed the prestige, and saw a young man in white standing upright in front of him, Qiu Chi looked at him, and he was also looking at Qiu Chi.
Xiao Han laughed and said, "Xiao Ying, I came to you today because I have something to discuss with you. ”
The young man in white was the first day of the Xiao family, and the Great Elder in his mouth naturally referred to Xiao Han.
Shadow wondered, "Is there something to discuss with me?"
Xiao Han nodded and said, "Xiao Hong sent a genius to compete for the second round of the challenge for his family, and I specially brought him to meet you and ask for your opinion." ”
Shadow pointed to Autumn Pond and asked, "Is that him?"
Qiu Chi smiled slightly, hugged his fists and said: "In Xia Qinchi, I have just joined the family, I want to do something for the family, and I hope that the Xiaoying brothers will be successful." ”
Xiaoying smiled disdainfully, and said: "I will fulfill you? Who will fulfill me? You can also participate in the competition for me if you want to, I Xiaoying has always paid attention to the rules, and I only recognize people who are stronger than me." ”
Qiu Chi was helpless, so he had to say: "I am willing to challenge you, if I win in Xia, then I will participate in this competition for you." ”
Shadow laughed three times and said defiantly, "Win, if you can survive me for ten rounds, you are eligible to participate for me." ”
Qiu Chi couldn't help but laugh, if he wasn't worried about being exposed, he would be able to kill this owl with a set of Nine Heavens Thunder Slash.
Xiao Han arranged a ring for the two, and when the others heard that someone was going to challenge Xiao Ying, they ran over one after another, and the surroundings were immediately surrounded by people.
"Who is this person? ”
"I haven't seen it, it shouldn't be our owl's family. ”
"Do you think he can beat the Shadow?"
"Nonsense, of course you can't fight, it's not like you haven't seen the shadow fight. ”
"Hey, guess how many rounds he'll make it through Shadow's hands. ”
"I guess three rounds. ”
"Three rounds, you look up to him too much, you look at him like that, he doesn't have any aura at all, it is estimated that he is the cultivation of the individual-level peak realm, and the shadow is a mid-level realm, and he can definitely kill him in seconds." ”
Xiao Ying stood in the ring, looked at Qiu Chi mockingly, and pretended to remind: "If you are afraid, it is too late to admit defeat now, otherwise you will make a move, I am afraid that you will not have a chance." You don't have to worry, lose to me, no shame. ”
Xiao Ying paused, and then said: "If you can't say it, you must say it, my fist doesn't have eyes, and if I cripple you, I can't explain it." ”
Qiu Chi looked at Shadow with disdain, why is this person talking so much nonsense, he has dealt with enemies who are not many times stronger than Shadow Shadow, and the nonsense does not add up to as much as Shadow Shadow.
