Chapter 77
Mo looked at this man carefully, he should be a high-level water elemental envoy of about a certain level, and he was slightly older than Xiao Ye. He looks good, but he has a malicious smile on his face.
"Who are these?" After taking Xiao Jin closer, he looked at everyone and asked.
"This is our captain Chris, this is Mo, vice-captain and the rest are my team-mates. Xiao Ye tried to keep his words as concise as possible, because he really didn't want to say a word to this man.
"Yo, mid-level mercenary team, it's quite suitable for you. Xiao Jin said sarcastically, and several of his companions behind him covered their mouths and snickered at this time.
Chris frowned, and quickly glanced at Xiao Jin's high-level mercenary badge, but didn't say anything, because this was Xiao Ye's family matter, and she didn't want to get involved unless she had to.
"If there's nothing to do, I'll leave first, and we won't talk to you if we have important things to do. Xiao Ye was about to leave after speaking, but he was stopped by Xiao Jin.
"My brother hasn't seen each other for so long, isn't it inappropriate for you to leave like this?" Xiao Jin finished speaking, and glanced at Chris provocatively.
"What do you want to do?" Xiao Ye seemed to be a little angry, and after shaking off Xiao Jin's hand, his voice became louder.
"Haha, what do I want to do? Xiao Ye, you yourself said that you would never return to Luwu, do you remember?" At this time, the smile on Xiao Jin's face gradually dissipated, and even showed a slow anger.
"In addition, as a brother, I would like to kindly remind you that when choosing a captain, you can't just choose a good-looking one!" As soon as he said that, he and his companions laughed happily and maniacally, and Mo felt very harsh when he heard it, let alone Chris.
Xiao Ye also scolded secretly in his heart at this time, he still knew a little bit of Chris's temper, she was really not a good talker.
Mo also noticed at this time that the cold light in Chris's hand had gradually appeared, but according to her previous temper, she should have already fought at this time, how could she endure it until now?
But at this time, Eugene, who had long been unbearable, stood in front of everyone.
The giant axe was stuck on the ground with a "bang", and he scolded: "Where did the big-tailed wolf come out, our Xiao Ye and the captain are also what you can say? Hurry up and get away from grandpa, otherwise I'll chop you up in a while!"
"Hmph, dwarf, don't forget that this is Ruu. Let's not talk about your mid-level strength, didn't Xiao Ye mention to you the power of our Xiao family?"
"Enough! Xiao Jin, I went back to Luwu because of the mission of the mercenary team, not to steal things with you. The road is facing the sky, let's go our separate ways, don't make things too ugly!"
"Hehe, it's ugly, I'd love to see how ugly it is. At this point, he paused and then continued: "But I still have a mission today, I don't have time to entangle with you, don't let me run into you next time, otherwise don't blame me for ignoring brotherhood!"
"Big Young Master, just let him go?" the person next to Xiao Jin immediately came up and asked.
"We have more important things to do today, let him live a few more days, let's go!" After saying that, he disappeared from everyone's sight.
"I'm sorry everyone, as you can see, that's why I don't want to go back to Luu!" Xiao Ye said to everyone with a smile reluctantly.
Mo was trying to comfort him and say that it was okay, but Chris grabbed him and said, "Go back first." ”
In the evening, after receiving the commission, everyone gathered in the hall, and even Lina did not leave.
"Xiao Ye, it's up to you to say these things yourself, I actually only know the approximate, not the details. After Chris finished speaking, he took a sip of water from the teacup, and then looked at Xiao Ye.
"Hey," Xiao Ye pretended to be indifferent, slumped in his chair and continued, "It's not that I want to hide these things from everyone, it's just that I don't want to talk about them because it's really ugly." ”
"As for me, I am the second young master of the Lu Wu Xiao family, that is, the second son of Xiao Shen, the head of the Xiao family. Speaking of Xiao Shen, everyone may know a little, about 20% of the black market of the entire human race belongs to our Xiao family. ”
"Wow, rich man. Lynn didn't forget to sneer twice at this time, and then Xiao Ye gave him a blank look.
"Our family made a fortune on the black market, so we are not particularly strong in terms of strength. So I can only be a local snake in this Ruwu. ”
"And what's going on with you and your brother?" Mo Xiang asked directly about the point.
"Don't worry, this story is a bit long, I'll try to keep it short. Xiao Ye let out a long sigh, and then said, "Our Xiao family once had a family heirloom-Jin Night Ring. Therefore, my father named me and my brother Xiao Ye and Xiao Jin, which shows how much attention he attaches to it. ”
"My brother and I used to have a very good relationship and were very close at home. The cause of the incident is because of myself, since I was a child, I have been clothed and fed, and I want to be windy and rainy, and I naturally don't have much desire for many things. ”
"But only women, especially beautiful women, I can't restrain myself!" Xiao Ye said that he felt embarrassed at all, but he was still a little nostalgic.
At this point, Lina and Mu Xin's faces were red to the root of their ears, and Ogu and Chris did not react in the slightest. But Chris coughed lightly and motioned for Xiao Ye to get to the point.
"Are you and your brother robbing women?" asked Eugene with a serious face, Mo rolled his eyes, wondering if Eugene's brain was all turning at right angles!
"Fart, no matter how much I like women, I won't rob them with my brother. With that, Eugene touched his head and slumped back into his chair.
"This thing started because of women, I remember that time in the Flower Pavilion of Ruwu, I forgot which one, I met a particularly beautiful woman. ”
"Is there a captain pretty?" Lynn began to be serious again, Chris took a deep breath, and then said, "If you don't want to hear it, get out!"
Xiao Ye ignored Lynn and continued: "Then I fell in love with her at first sight, and finally brought her home, hoping to marry her as a wife, but I didn't want her to steal my father's ancestral heirloom and run away that night. ”
"No, isn't Xiao Shen defenseless about ancestral things?, how can she, a woman from the Flower Pavilion, have the ability to steal your father's things?" Mo asked puzzled.
"I don't know about this, I only know that the next day my father was angry with me and fell seriously ill, and Xiao Jin blamed me for this. After that, I returned to the Xiao family without shame, and only then did I go to Pegasus to join the mercenary team. ”
"Then did you go find that woman?" asked Mu Xin.
"Where to find it at the end of the world, I went to the Flower Pavilion that day and asked, the boss of the Flower Pavilion said that there was no such person at all!" After speaking, Xiao Ye sighed again and looked at the beam in a daze.
The breeze of early summer seemed to reduce the dullness of everyone in the hall.
Xiao Ye looked at the beams of the house and was silent for a while, and only the sound of cicadas chirping continued to come from the entire courtyard.
Chris slowly put down his teacup, and then ended the long silence.
"There are two things that seem strange about this matter to me, first, even if this woman left the Flower Pavilion, how could it be said that there was never such a woman in the Flower Pavilion? ”
"I didn't expect that, but the thieves are completely gone, and even if I knew it, it would be in vain, wouldn't it?"
"Don't jump to conclusions, let me ask you, where was your father's Night Ring placed on the night it was stolen?"
"In my father's study, surrounded by layers of magic locks. ”
"How much do you know about magic locks?"
"I only know how to solve the first layer, and only my mother and brother know how to solve the other two. ”
"That's right, now your so-called mother is not actually your biological mother, but your brother's biological mother, right?"
"Captain, please stop. Xiao Ye abruptly interrupted the conversation, as if he already knew what Chris was going to say next.
"Although my own mother passed away when I was young, my stepmother never favored my brother and me. Since I was a child, I have had everything my brother has, and I have great respect for my mother. ”
"It's your family business, and that's all I can say. It's hard for me to make up my mind whether it's right or not, it's up to you. ”
Xiao Ye looked at Chris in a daze, and changed his state of no concern just now, and his mind couldn't calm down for a long time.
When everyone heard this, they seemed to understand the ins and outs of the matter, and they didn't know for a while whether they should persuade Xiao Ye to find out the truth, or whether they should end this matter.
"Xiao Ye, how does your father treat you?" At this time, Mo, who had not spoken for a long time, took over the words.
"Since the death of my biological mother, my father has loved me even more than my brother. Why do you ask this?"
"My biological father and I have only been together for less than three years since I was born. For the past three years, I had no idea that this person was my father, and it was not until the day he died in front of my eyes that I knew that my father had always been in front of my eyes. Do you know what I'm trying to say?" Mo looked at Xiao Ye with a little confusion in his eyes, hoping that Xiao Ye would understand what he meant.
In fact, this was said to both Xiao Ye and Chris, after all, the gap between them had not yet been restored.
"What do you want to say?" Xiao Ye didn't seem to understand what Mo meant.
"How would your father Xiao Shen feel when something like this happened to you? Now we really can't make a definitive conclusion about what kind of process this matter is, but you actually left your kindness and generosity to your stepmother and brother, and ignored your father who is still lying in bed!?"
"Indeed, I am indeed ashamed of my..."
"Shame, right?" Mo suddenly raised his voice and rudely interrupted Xiao Ye's words.
