After saying these words, Xie Mu and Xiao Ran were stunned, they had heard it when they were in Jinghai, and it was not calm outside the gate, as in other places, conspiracies and tricks emerged one after another, and those who knew made them cautious, and they thought they were mentally prepared. m.

After all, the two of them have experienced such a big event as the destruction of the Miaojiang Branch, but at that time, it was them who acted as the attacker and carried out the strategy, but this time, it was their turn to fall into the passive side, they became the Miaojiang Branch, and the other party became them.

Xie Mu's brows furrowed, the seriousness of the situation was far beyond his estimate, his brain was frantically calculating, thinking about all kinds of possibilities. He thought: "If the Guanwai branch is really targeted by all the forces outside the Guan, then it can only wait to be destroyed, and there can be no other result." “

"These forces outside the Guan, except for the Yao family, each of the others does not seem to be very strong, but if they add up, they are also very terrifying, besides, the Guanwai branch only occupies such a small piece of land, and it is powerless to resist at all. Well, there's a problem. ”

While thinking, Xie Mu looked at Li Yuansen, "Uncle Li, I have a question I want to ask, why do these forces outside the Guanwai want to deal with our Guanwai branch together? ”

"Even in this district of Bai Yuancheng, the branch outside the gate doesn't speak, let alone in other places, if you want money or not, if you want strength or not, if you want influence or not, you can't even count as a thorn in your eye, and the academy won't put your hand outside the gate again, to deal with a branch, it's really unnecessary, those big guys, won't even see this. ”

Li Yuansen sighed, "Alas, Yeping, in fact, what you said, I have discussed it with your aunt, and I have also seriously thought about the cause and effect, but no matter how you think about it, I can't think of it, it is really as you said, our Guanwai branch is not worth mentioning compared to any force, and it is not even worth being destroyed." ”

Li Mu also frowned, with a sad face, "We originally thought that the headquarters was going to have some big plan, such as a big event like the previous Miaojiang Branch, with our Guanwai Branch as the internal response, to expand the power outside the Guanwai in one fell swoop, and even sent the two of you in order to implement this matter." ”

"The two of us?" Xiao Ran was stunned, "Ye Ping and I are just two Enlightenment Realm martial artists, no matter how powerful we are, we can't make a wave." ”

Li Mu looked at the two of them, "Before the two of you, did you help the academy solve the Miaojiang branch?"

The two nodded.

"Have you achieved quite good results in the Nanli competition, and there is also a championship. ”

The two nodded again.

"That's right, this means that you two are not ordinary Enlightenment Realm martial artists, the meaning you two represent is far beyond your strength, God knows if you have any special tasks on your body, such as coming here to step on something, or like in the Miaojiang Branch, you will mess up the outside of the pass. ”

"Don't say you can't do it, we all know your deeds in Miaojiang. ”

After saying this, Xiao Ran and Xie Mu were even more confused.

Xie Mu's eyelids jumped, "So, this."

All these big forces are doing it because of our two internships? But the two of us are really just here for internships. ”

Li Mu shook her head, "Except for a few of us, who knows? Yes, we will believe you two, you are really just here for an internship, there are no special tasks, and there are no secrets, but do you think those leaders of the big forces, they are fools? Will they believe it?"

Li Yuansen stretched out his hand, "Pai Feng, don't say that, the two children are innocent, they are just acting on orders, and you should also know that even if there are no two of them, sooner or later, our Guanwai branch will have to be completely eaten by these forces." ”

"You two see our current situation, the headquarters doesn't help us, and we don't have the strength to improve ourselves, we have always been trying to survive in the cracks, and we can't even carry out normal mechanical research activities, if it weren't for my Li family's ancestral business, I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to support it for a long time." ”

"You can still see pure academy people in the branch now, it's already very good, in a few years, if someone comes again, the branch will still be a branch, but the people living in it should be all people from other forces wearing academy clothes. ”

Li Yuansen and Li Mu, both of them were extremely pessimistic, this desperate look did not seem to be fake at all, and it also infected Xie Mu and Xiao Ran on the side.

Li Yuansen looked at the two of them, "Okay, you two have been tossing for the past few days, you should be tired, go and rest early, about the internship, your aunt and I will start to arrange it for you, but you don't have too many expectations, the current branch may not have any internship tasks for you." ”

Xie Mu and Xiao Ran didn't know how to reply, although he was also sorry for the series of results caused by his arrival, but as Li Yuansen said, this is not something he can decide, even if he doesn't come, it will be Yu Wen, and the consequences will only be more severe.

The two could only get up and follow Li Yuansen to the room where they were going to live, which was the house where Pei Hanqing came before.

As soon as he entered the room, Xie Mu saw Li Xinlin and Pei Hanqing, sitting on the sofa and chatting, smiling very happily and talking happily.

As soon as Li Xinlin saw her father coming in, she hurriedly stood up, called "Dad", and walked outside.

Pei Hanqing stood up and clasped his fists and saluted, "Senior Li." ”

Li Yuansen nodded, and then said to Xie Mu: "The three of you will live here, choose the room by yourself, and everything else, my daughter should have explained it to Pei Gongzi, if you don't know, just ask him, and I want to remind you that the door of the branch is generally not open, if you go out, you will know us, and we will naturally open the door for you." ”

After speaking, he left, and Xie Mu and the others also symbolically said two kind words and sent him away.

As soon as he left, Xie Mu closed the door and sat on the sofa, and Xiao Ran also sat down, but both of them frowned, and they knew at a glance that they were in trouble.

Pei Hanqing looked at the appearance of the two of them and laughed, "Why are they all like this? What happened? Can you say, if you can say it, just say it, maybe you authorities are confused, but I, a bystander, can also help you come up with ideas or something." ”

Xiao Ran looked at it

Mu glanced at her, Xie Mu thought for a while, and then nodded at her, indicating that she could speak, and she sighed, "Mr. Pei, this time, I have affected you." ”

Pei Hanqing said with a smile: "It seems that there is really a difficult matter, and it can affect me, it seems that this matter is not just a matter of the two of you, I want to think about it, is it that the branch outside the customs is in trouble? Well, let me think about it again, is it that they are going to be destroyed? There are several forces outside the customs that want to take action." ”

Xie Mu was stunned again, Xiao Ran only said one sentence, he was able to make up so many things in his brain, how did he grow this brain?

Xiao Ran nodded, "Mr. is really extraordinary, what he said is true." ”

When Pei Hanqing heard this, he shook his head, "Is everything true? After saying this, he looked at Xie Mu, "Brother Guan, I'm sorry for you." ”

When Xie Mu heard this, he comprehended, took the lone bamboo, tapped the lone bamboo, and the soundproof shield shrouded the three of them.

Pei Hanqing said: "It turns out that your soundproofing method is used like this, is this the legendary mechanical technique? It is a little different from martial arts, it is really magical." ”

Xie Mu waved his hand, "What's so magical about this, it's just that the energy released by the weapon shield blocks the transmission of sound waves, if there are people whose strength is far beyond us, they can also eavesdrop on us, but it is safer than the sound transmission commonly used by martial artists." ”

Pei Hanqing smiled: "I don't understand what you said, so let's go back to the previous topic." ”

"What I just guessed should be inseparable from what they told you, and they also told you that the mutation in Bai Yuancheng may have been caused by those big forces outside the Guan, so as to build the branch outside the Guan, so that the branch lost the support of the people and the strength to fight with them. ”

"But, after all, this is what they told you, since you studied under the rumored Qiqiao Old Man, the second-in-command of Zi Meilin, then you should know that any information may be faked, especially this kind of word-of-mouth information, you can't believe it, and you can't believe it all. ”

"In this world, seeing is not necessarily true, let alone being paraphrased by others?"

Xiao Ran said, "Sir, you mean, they may be lying, but why are they lying?"

Pei Hanqing shook his head again, "No, no, no, it's impossible to lie, maybe someone really wants to deal with the Guanwai Branch, and it's really possible that there is more than one force, maybe, it's really all the forces involved, but I'm afraid that there are only one or two who really want to make a move, and it doesn't have to be a huge force like the three clans outside the Guanwai." ”

"As for the disease in Bai Yuan City, it will have something to do with the forces outside the Guan, but it is very likely that it is just for the tiger, no matter how mad they are, they will not develop this disease to target the mortals of Bai Yuan City, and it is only for a small branch outside the Guan. ”

"So I think that Bai Yuancheng's illness problem may be an accident or an accident, but it just happened to be used by other forces, and other forces also happened to want to destroy the Guanwai Branch, and it just so happened that the two of you were sent by the academy to intern in the Guanwai Branch. ”

When Xiao Ran heard this, he said in disbelief: "Isn't all this too coincidental?"
