Chapter 38: Survival of the Fittest
As he spoke, he reached out and snatched it from Xiao Qi's hand, "Do you want it?" Don't give it to me, I won't sell it yet. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Xiao Qi hurriedly put the bag in his arms, took out a medium-grade spirit stone and handed it over, Xu Yaoxian took it scoldingly, put away the things on the stall, turned around and left.
Xiao Qi shouted behind him, "Senior Xu, you're not selling anything?" ā
Xu Yaoxian didn't reply, his tone was very angry, "I'm in a bad mood for giving things for nothing, so I won't sell them." ā
It was getting late, Xiao Qi didn't continue to shop, and returned to the small courtyard with a bag of seeds.
When I arrived at the door, I found Li Zhuang and Zhang Er waiting by the stream in front of the door, Zhang Er was lying on the stone and fell asleep, Li Zhuang sat anxiously, looking at the courtyard from time to time.
Seeing Xiao Qi coming back, Li Zhuang stood up and waved at him and shouted, "Brother Xiao! ā
Xiao Qi walked towards him, Li Zhuang had already dragged the sleepy-eyed Zhang Er up, walked towards Xiao Qi with difficulty, and hurriedly said, "Brother Xiao, hurry!" Let's go to your house! ā
Seeing his eager look, Xiao Qi didn't ask much, and helped him help Zhang Er to lie down on the bed, and then asked, "What's wrong with you?" ā
"Brother Xiao, do you know about life and death at this exchange conference?"
"You know, my senior brother told me before I went into the ring, what's wrong?"
Li Zhuang said with a cold face, "Brother Xiao, aren't you afraid?" ā
Xiao Qi looked at him funny, "What are you afraid of?" You see, didn't I come down uneventful? And the game is already cruel, some casualties are common. ā
"But even if the ring competition is over, there are still twenty days left, and my senior brother said that the next few days will be the most difficult."
"What do you mean?"
Li Zhuang looked at him in surprise, "You don't know? ā
Xiao Qi looked at Li Zhuang steadily, his eyes were like an endless abyss, "What do you know?" ā
Li Zhuang sighed and explained from the beginning, "The exchange conference is actually a game of survival of the fittest and survival of the fittest in Xiaoyaomen, but this game has no rules and no bottom line, and everything is as you like." ā
Li Zhuang recalled his senior brother's words and continued, "To put it simply, the exchange conference is a game without human constraints, only desire, grab if you want, kill if you want, as long as your ability is enough, as long as you are alive, even if the things in the sect are robbed, no one cares, and whoever grabs it will belong to whoever grabs it at that time, so every exchange conference also has many people organized to rob the treasures of real people." ā
Xiao Qi lowered his head and said nothing, not knowing what he was thinking.
Li Zhuang was afraid, "These are the original words that my senior brother said to me, saying that he was afraid that I would die too early and embarrass them, so give me a wake-up call." ā
Xiao Qi comforted, "Your senior brother is still very good, you look at my senior brother, he didn't even have a reminder, he just left me to fend for myself." ā
Li Zhuang nodded in agreement, "Brother Xiao, why didn't your senior brother tell you this?" ā
"I don't know, maybe I'm afraid I'll live too long."
Xiao Qi said in the end, his voice was inaudible, Li Zhuang didn't hear what Xiao Qi said clearly at all, and was about to ask carefully, when he saw Xiao Qi looking at Zhang Er, who was sleeping on the bed, and said, "Then what's the matter with him?" Why are you still dragging him here? ā
"After I heard what my senior brother said, I became more and more scared, and I wanted to come to you, but I was worried about Zhang Yan and them. They dodged all the way to avoid people looking for them, but Xiu Bai and Zhang Yan refused to come, they said..."
Li Zhuang paused, "They said that life is earned by oneself, and no matter how far you can go, you have to walk out by yourself, and you can't always rely on Brother Xiao." ā
He raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Qi, but he didn't see impatience, so he continued, "I went to find Zhang Er later, and he was still sleeping." I woke him up and talked to him, and he came with me. As a result, when I got here, I slept again. Brother Xiao, am I useless..."
Xiao Qi walked to the side of the bed to check on Zhang Er's situation, and asked, "Why do you say that?" ā
"Xiu Bai and Zhang Yan both want to be independent, so I still rely on Brother Xiao..."
"It's okay, you're not the only one here."
knew that Xiao Qi was talking about Zhang Er, but Zhang Er's situation was obviously different from himself, "But Zhang Er, he just came here to find a place to sleep peacefully." ā
Xiao Qi raised his eyebrows, "How do you know he's here to sleep?" ā
Li Zhuang pouted and said in frustration, "He said it himself, he complained before he came here with me, saying that he couldn't even sleep well!" ā
The young man's psychology was sensitive and fragile after being frightened, although Xiao Qi had the heart to teach, but he also understood that now was not a good time, and persuaded him, "But didn't you go to Xiu Bai and them before you came to me?" It can be seen that you are not timid, on the contrary, you are still very kind. Otherwise, they wouldn't have told them, would they? ā
Li Zhuang nodded heavily, and his heart instantly healed after being comforted, but he was still worried about his next twenty days, "Brother Xiao, then will we hide from you for the next twenty days?" ā
Xiao Qi knew that there was still this default rule in the exchange conference of Xiaoyaomen, and he was a little excited in his heart, thinking about whether he could take advantage of the opportunity of the exchange conference to grab the "Tao Te Ching", and he couldn't wait to discuss it with the Peach Blossom Demon, but now that Zhang Er and Li Zhuang were here, Xiao Qi could only suppress his thoughts.
"Do you have any plans?"
Li Zhuang shook his head, "I don't know..."
looked at the sleeping Zhang Er again, "Zhang Er should be going to sleep." ā
Thinking that Li Zhuang's cultivation is still shallow, he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse to push him out, so he decided to leave him, "I got a new bag of seeds, I planted it in the past few days, if you don't have any plans, why don't you help me plant it?" ā
"Yes, yes!" Li Zhuang, who has something to do and doesn't have to worry about being killed, is very positive.
"Where did Brother Xiao get the seeds? I wanted to buy seeds, but I didn't dare to go to the conference. When it came to the exchange conference, Li Zhuang was afraid.
"I just came back from the exchange conference and bought it at the exchange conference."
Li Zhuang, who was originally afraid, instantly exclaimed, "Brother Xiao went to the exchange conference?" Did you buy something and come back safely? ā
"yes, no one knows me, so no one kills me."
Li Zhuang disagrees with this statement, "It's not that no one knows you and you don't get killed, in previous years, many disciples were intercepted and killed halfway on the way back from shopping." My senior brother said that those who dare to set up stalls to sell at the exchange conference are very capable and are not afraid of others' concerns. ā
Xiao Qi remembered the situation of the stall he saw during the day, and finally understood why it was so weird.
Li Zhuang was already very curious and said, "What kind of seeds did Brother Xiao buy?" Can you show me? I also wanted to buy some seeds, but unfortunately I didn't dare to go. ā
