Chapter 17 The Xie Family's Calculations
, Chi Yu got out of bed, and at this time Xie Lingxiu had already walked to the table in the living room and sat down.
After tidying up his clothes, Chi Yan walked to the living room.
"That's right, I'm not ambitious in Guiguo. But what does this have to do with your Xie family?"
Chi Chao sat opposite Xie Lingxiu, always at a distance from this beauty.
"Let's not talk about anything else, Miss Xie, can you give me back my knife, it's in your hands, I have to be afraid that you will use it to kill me at any time."
Chi Chao said eloquently.
"Okay." Xie Lingxiu obediently put Chi Chao's rogue knife on the table, and returned it to Chi Chao.
"Miss Xie, if you and I are alone in the same room, it will have a bad impact on you, and it will also cause irreversible bad consequences for your reputation. You'd better get out." Chi Yan frowned and stared at Xie Lingxiu and said.
After Xie Lingxiu heard this, he couldn't help but have a look of resentment on his face.
Reputation? Reputation! Does Qingyu still have a reputation for her?
She didn't know how many times she had done such a thing of being alone with men and widows in the same room, and her reputation had long been unbearable in Pingcheng.
Thinking of this, Xie Lingxiu is like a wronged little daughter-in-law, very endearing.
"What the hell are you going to do? Say whatever you want, don't waste our time. I haven't eaten breakfast yet, and I'm so hungry." Chi Chao was slightly angry.
Xie Lingxiu didn't know where to take out a wooden food box, which still exuded the aroma and heat of food.
"I brought breakfast for Mr. Liao, you can listen to me after you finish eating." Xie Lingxiu opened the food box, and the delicious aroma came to his nose, which was very lethal to Chi Zhu, who had just gotten up.
"Goo-goo!" Chi Chao's stomach screamed uncontrollably.
Xie Lingxiu, who was on the side, pursed his lips and smiled after hearing this, "It seems that Liao Gongzi is really hungry."
Chi Chao couldn't hold back the roundworms in his stomach, so he simply took the food box in front of Xie Lingxiu.
Seeing this, Xie Lingxiu smiled happily and got up to personally open the food box for Chi Chao.
A bowl of fragrant fish fillet porridge was brought out by Xie Lingxiu and handed it to Chi Chao's eyes with a spoon.
Chi Chao was not suspicious, and directly picked up the spoon and asked for porridge to drink.
The hot porridge is in the stomach, a different kind of warmth, and the fishy smell of the fish fillet porridge is gone, and it is more fresh and sweet.
A bowl full of fish fillet porridge was scooped up and eaten by Chi Chao two or three times, and finally eaten.
After eating, Chi Chao was about to lift his sleeve to wipe his mouth, but Xie Lingxiu took a step ahead and wiped the porridge stains on Chi Chao's mouth with her own handkerchief.
Like a lamb meeting a wolf, Chi Chao hurriedly opened Xie Lingxiu's hand, and finally said loudly and angrily, "Say whatever you want!"
"Don't worry, Gongzi Liao, tell me first, is the fish fillet porridge I spent a morning boiling is to your taste?" Xie Lingxiu looked at Chi Chao enthusiastically, expecting his answer.
"Alas······" Chi Yan let out a long sigh and said, "It's a little salty, I'm a little unaccustomed to it."
"Uh-huh." Xie Lingxiu looked at Chi Chao very happily, this was an affirmation of her just now.
"Liao Gongzi is a native of Guiguo, and it is normal for him to not be accustomed to the taste of Xiguo. But in the future, when there is time, I will slowly adjust the saltiness to the extent that Liao Gongzi likes it."
"Still not." Chi Chao immediately refused. "Say whatever you want, or I'll be out of date."
"There's no hurry." Xie Lingxiu was not in a hurry to inform Chi Chao of his true intentions. "Mr. Liao just had breakfast, why don't you go out for a walk with me?"
Faced with Xie Lingxiu's invitation, Chi Chao had no idea of refusing.
Seeing that Chi Chao's face was not different, Xie Lingxiu took the opportunity to continue: "I'll take Gongzi to see the customs of this Xi country."
"Okay." Chi Chao agreed.
Chi Chao followed Xie Lingxiu out of the inn where he was staying, and as soon as Fang stepped onto the street, he felt that the pedestrians and vendors on the street of Pingcheng had given him kind glances, some of them wearing light clothes
The girl of Xiguo whispered on the side, discussing this pretty gentleman.
Chi Chao looked back at Xie Lingxiu, who was traveling with him, as if he was asking the reason for this anomaly, it stands to reason that his story had not spread all over Pingcheng so quickly. There must be the Xie family's forces to help spread.
Xie Lingxiu looked at Chi Chao who looked back, and said with a smile: "Liao Gongzi is now a celebrity in our Pingcheng, your performance in the selection meeting yesterday has spread all over Pingcheng, and many people think that you are a dark horse in this selection meeting, and your limelight even surpasses me."
Chi Chao's heart tightened, he didn't expect the Xie family to be so unscrupulous, Mingli seemed to be famous for him, but in fact, he was killing him, once he became eye-catching, there would be a lot of trouble coming to the door.
Chi Chao knew from the beginning that once he showed his profound strength, he would attract a lot of attention, and it would be difficult for him to easily win the crown of the first round of the selection conference, and this was only on the premise that he did not use the secret techniques and inheritances of those countries. So in his first selection, he deliberately did not take the initiative to fight against others, but hid until the end of the game before making a move.
Although he only stabbed him twice, Xie Lingxiu saw that his foundation was not ordinary, and now he came to harass him.
If he exposes his knowledge of various countries too early, it will make people guess that he is the fourth gentleman of the Gui Kingdom Sword Tower, Chi Chao, and it will be difficult for him to do what he wants to do before he finishes the competition.
"So, in order to be in the limelight and not be troubled, I have to commit myself to your Xie family?" Chi Mingren didn't say dark words, and directly said the consequences of everything Xie Lingxiu did, and the only choice he could make.
"Where is Childe, my Xie family treats guests well, which one is not full of elixir resource providers, is it possible that after Childe enters my Xie family, he is afraid that I will be treated differently?" Xie Lingxiu did not hide his intention to solicit.
"I refuse." Chi Chao said categorically, his tone to the point of being non-negotiable.
"What? Are you sure?" Xie Lingxiu was surprised why Chi Chao refused so quickly, as an ordinary person, he had to think about it.
Chi Chao looked at the extremely mature girl in front of him a little strangely, didn't he understand enough?
"I repeat: I, Liao Chun, refuse to be included in the Xie family's guest qing." Chi Chao said firmly.
After hearing the same reply again, Xie Lingxiu's eyes couldn't help but darken.
"It's a pity, Gongzi Liao. To be honest, I actually have a little bit of love at first sight for you, but if you don't enter my Xie family, I have to cut off this relationship!"
Xie Lingxiu, who was bowing his head at this moment, had a slight flush of red eyes, as if he had a sadness in his heart.
I believe in you! Chi Chao sighed in his heart.
"Then Childe should make some preparations early, prepare those who want to trouble you and prevent you from winning the championship at the selection meeting."
After Xie Lingxiu stood for a while, he breathed a sigh of relief, and when he raised his head, his face was no longer as sad as he had just now.
"I'll wait." Chi Chao said.
This sentence "I'll wait", Chi Chao said lightly, but in this breezy and cloudy mixture, there is a sense of arrogance.
Xie Lingxiu, who was about to leave, couldn't help but pause after hearing this, the tone of what Chi Chao said just now was no different from that of the same Xiguo Ronin.
Xie Lingxiu turned to look at Chi Chao in surprise, but Chi Chao's face was calm, like an ancient well that was difficult to ripple.
At this moment, Xie Lingxiu even felt that what was standing in front of her was a cultivator who had entered the realm of a great grandmaster.
Is it an illusion, or is this called; Liao Chun's Gui people are in disguise? Two doubts popped up in Xie Lingxiu's heart.
"See you later." Chi Chao said goodbye to Xie Lingxiu, then turned around and walked back to the inn in a different direction from her.
On the way back, there were many people who deliberately followed him, some of them hid their breath and did not leak at all, and some followed him blatantly, but they just didn't do it, just followed him from a distance.
These people are all looking for an opportunity, and with this opportunity, they can all make a move against Chi Chao, or rather, send out Chi Chao
A challenge to be able to refuse.
It's to find a way to deal with these troublesome followers. Chi Chao thought about it.
Suddenly, the group of people who followed Chi Chao looked at Chi Chao's figure and blurred, and then Chi Chao disappeared into thin air at the intersection of the street.
Many people were surprised, and most of them thought that someone had used Xiguo's non-magical powers--- and they were away from Chi Chao in an instant.
And there are only a handful of people who can use Xiguo to get away with it, these big people suddenly appeared and took away Chi Chao, does it mean that Chi Chao is the person who is appointed by the [Bichao Pavilion] at the selection meeting?
Different thoughts appeared in the hearts of different people, but what remained unchanged was that they all thought that it was the powerful cultivator of the Xi Kingdom who took Chi Chao away on the street.
Chi Chao was taken away by [Bichao Pavilion], or maybe [Haixi Pavilion], and he said that this Chi Chao was my [Bichao Pavilion] internal disciple candidate, and if you dare to touch it, you must have the determination to oppose my Pavilion.
The group of people who followed Chi Chao immediately told the people above them about the situation, and then the people above spread it to the three major families in Pingcheng.
The three major families immediately held a family meeting, and finally unanimously decided to recall all the people sent to follow Chi Chao, and not one person remained.
While they were having a family meeting in full swing, Chi Chao appeared in the Yuanhai Bamboo House where Gu Qianhao lived, and he was comfortably drinking the diluted Ten Thousand Souls Steamed with Gu Qianhao, the young pavilion master of the [Haixi Pavilion].
When Chi Chao disappeared at that time, he used the unconveyable power of the Oolong Courtyard, an unknowable place in the deserted country--- and the divine foot of crossing the river with a reed, which was not much different from the leisurely and undistant of the Xi country from the layman's point of view.
"I said, junior brother, why do you still want to participate in the selection meeting, I don't have what kind of cultivation exercises you want in Xiguo, if you want to say it. Big brother can bring it to you from the *** room of [Haixi Pavilion] at any time." Gu Qianhao said generously.
"Of course I know that my eldest brother is good to me, but I have other intentions when I participate in the selection meeting. It's about whether or not I can reshuffle [Momen] in one fell swoop, so I'm sure to win the first round of the selection meeting."
