Chapter 71: Mutual Temptation
As soon as Chen Zhuo returned to the Bounty Hall after completing the task, he heard the brothers in the group talk about the task of collecting spirit stones posted on the bulletin board, and the mercenary group he led belonged to a hundred-person high-level mercenary group, and they had a certain grasp of hunting and mining, so they rushed over in person after taking the task without saying a word. It's just that he didn't expect that the guest who posted this mission would be such a young ghost.
In terms of Chen Zhuo's tall and strong figure, Qu Junyan was like a malnourished imp in front of him. As soon as he entered the door, he set his eyes on the man in the crescent white dress behind him. Because no matter how you look at it, Qu Junyan's age and dress don't look like people who can afford a high honorarium, but the man behind him is more likely. If it weren't for Qu Junyan accepting the spirit stone brought by the front desk, Chen Zhuo wouldn't have noticed her at all.
"Well, it's me." While Chen Zhuo was looking at her, Qu Junyan was also secretly observing the leader of the mercenary group. This person often has dark skin due to the wind and sun, and the green tendons protruding from the surface of the body make him look a little more bloody, hunting monsters for a living is naturally contaminated with a kind of anger, a body of tendons and flesh, but it is by no means a type with developed limbs and a simple mind, and those sharp eyes are definitely alert and ruthless after experiencing life and death battles!
can quickly judge through the subtleties that she is the person who has the absolute right to speak in this room, and this person's observation is very keen. can sit in the position of the head of the regiment, which is really not an ordinary role. looks like a tiger, smells roses, is talking about people like him!
After getting Qu Junyan's affirmative answer, although Chen Zhuo felt a little unbelievable in his heart, he was very disciplined and didn't ask anything, after all, the rule of the flower market is that you are not allowed to ask about everything about the guests. However, he still secretly looked at this "little guest", with Chen Zhuo's eyes that he had been in the flower market for many years, he could vaguely see from the bones on Qu Junyan's face that her current appearance was not her original appearance.
In the flower market, disguised items are extremely common, but the disguise on the face of this guest. The mask is significantly more superlative than the one sold in ordinary shops. The workmanship of the mask is even more exquisite, if it weren't for Chen Zhuo's mercenary profession of licking blood from the knife edge, and he has an extraordinary understanding of human bones, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find Qu Junyan's ingenious disguise.
Chen Zhuo retracted his gaze, but he already knew it in his heart. If the guess is correct, this guest's outfit should be the result of careful appearance. In the flower market, everyone has too many ulterior transactions to make, so they have long been accustomed to not asking what they shouldn't ask, and not looking at what they shouldn't see.
As far as Chen Zhuo knew, it was not easy to be able to use such a large number of spirit stones, and some would be used in forging high-level magic weapons or repairing spiritual sense, although this little ghost in front of him looked very inconspicuous, but his shot was quite generous, and he couldn't detect the cultivation in her body at all, this situation was very intriguing! Generally, there are only three possibilities, the first is that the other party is just an ordinary person, and there is no cultivation at all; The second is that its strength is hidden by some kind of magic weapon; Both of these Chen Zhuo feel unreliable!
First, he had observed Qu Junyan's body, and there was no room for any precious magic weapons under the coarse linen clothes, and secondly, he boasted that he had a great reputation in the flower market, and the people in the flower market would more or less react after hearing his name, but just now he observed Qu Junyan's reaction, she was very calm, and seemed to be unmoved by her name! This calm mind beyond her years is not at all as inconspicuous as she appears in front of people......
Then there is only one possibility left - the strength of the other party is much higher than him! As soon as this idea appeared, Chen Zhuo was shocked by himself, once the seeds of doubt are planted, then they will take root and sprout infinitely...... Chen Zhuo didn't react on the surface, but his mind became active - the people who could access the High Knot Magic Weapon and the Spiritual Consciousness Restoration were all powerful and powerful people in the Yuan Infant Stage, and this little guest's way of speaking was very concise, there was almost no nervousness, and there was no half of a superfluous word, and he was not like an ordinary child at all!
It is rumored that there were five ancient families 10,000 years ago, because they signed a contract with alien beasts, so they had some special abilities in their blood. Among them, there is a bone refining clan that has a secret method that can change the size of a person's bones, and even make a seven-foot boy shrink into a small child! Although there is no record of these five major families in the present world, and even many people deny their existence, Chen Zhuo still can't help but associate the little guest in front of him with the mysterious family secret method in the rumor! He has seen all the incredible things that he has traveled from south to north, and it is not so difficult to accept an ancient family. And according to rumors, anyone who can fully master that secret method is unfathomable! Thinking like this, Chen Zhuo couldn't help but become more cautious, experience told him that he must be careful when dealing with this kind of person.
In fact, it is no wonder that Chen Zhuo would have such a guess, a young ghost who looks so poor and sour that he has no cultivation at all suddenly ran to a place like the flower market to open the way for money, and he also went to the largest mercenary union like the Bounty Hall with great fanfare, and issued a task to buy a huge number of spirit stones...... This in itself is an incredible thing. In addition, the words and deeds of this "little guest" are completely devoid of the immaturity and crampedness that a child should have, which made Chen Zhuo have such an association.
If he knew, it was just because Qu Junyan's body bones had indeed not yet turned around and had not much cultivation at all, and he was weak and vulnerable, so he didn't know how he would feel......
Qu Junyan didn't care about Chen Zhuo's secret observation, and sped up to finish tapping the spirit stones brought by the girl at the front desk, she was more concerned about personally asking him if the batch of spirit stones that had gone out of the task could come back in time. This would save her the time and cost of transporting her to Yaris, which would save her a lot of trouble.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the girl at the front desk start to introduce Qu Junyan: "Guest, the task you issued to collect the spirit stone was taken over by the Hurricane Mercenary Group led by Captain Chen Zhuo, if you have any questions, you can directly hand over to him." I won't bother you! ”
Qu Junyan nodded lightly, put the last batch of spirit stones into the ring, and said straight to the point: "Hello, Head Chen." I want to confirm with you, will this batch of spirit stones be shipped back according to the specified time? ”
Chu Yunjin and the others, who were waiting quietly, wiped their sweat silently, obediently, aren't you questioning the professionalism of others, it's too direct......
Even Chen Zhuo didn't seem to expect Qu Junyan to ask such a straightforward question directly, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, thinking that Qu Junyan was believing in the strength of their mercenary group: "Guest, please rest assured, the task that our Hurricane Mercenary Group takes over will definitely be completed within the specified time!" Otherwise, we will not take a penny, and we will bear all your losses. ”
Qu Junyan was confused by Chen Zhuo's serious expression, "Head Chen doesn't have to be nervous, I'm just asking casually, if my address changes after you return, please trouble Head Chen to help me send it to the designated place, and I will calculate the travel expenses for you separately!" ”
"I see, no problem! Our task is to deliver things to the employer by hand, no matter where the employer is in the world, this is our job! How dare you take any more money from your guests? Chen Zhuo also understood the meaning of Qu Junyan's words, and immediately understood that it was his villain's heart before, the expression on his face eased a lot, and his eyes were less guarded.
"Captain Chen is a cheerful person, there are many opportunities for cooperation in the future, this trip is far away, I will wait for the good news of the head of the regiment!" Save a sum of money Qu Junyan will inevitably have to be polite, this Chen Zhuo is an honest man, he doesn't know how many spirit stones he needs in the future, if this trip goes well, he can directly establish a cooperative relationship with the Hurricane Mercenary Group, eliminating the difference in the mercenary guild, and the money will be more efficient when it reaches the mercenaries directly.
"Rest assured, the Hurricane Mercenary Regiment will not disgrace their lives." The big man immediately hugged his fists and bowed, I don't know if it was Qu Junyan's illusion, she always felt that this Chen Tuan's eyes were a little jealous when he looked at her...... Something seemed hesitant to speak.
"If you have any questions, head Chen, you might as well say it directly." Seeing that the eyebrows of these five big and three thick men were twisted into a Sichuan character, Qu Junyan gave him a step down in time.
"I would like to ask the guest, you just said that it is possible that we will no longer spend time in Huacheng when we return, can you tell us the specific location below? We should also prepare early and deliver the spirit stone to you in time. Gritting his teeth, Chen Zhuo still asked, although he also knew that this was a taboo in the flower market, once Qu Junyan intended to denounce them, he could be exempted from the commission for this mission, and the hurricane mercenary group would always lose its foothold in the flower market!
But for some reason, he has an inexplicable trust in Qu Junyan, accidents may occur at any time during the mission, and the earlier the task is handed over, the wounded can be treated earlier and the consumption of personnel can be reduced. He is gambling, and Qu Junyan is not the kind of person who will trap others for his own selfish desires.
As soon as the words came out, Chen Zhuo regretted it. Speaking of which, even he thinks it's funny, after so many years in the rivers and lakes, doesn't he know the inferior nature of human nature? Why is he so unbreathable that he entrusted the jobs of hundreds of brothers to this person who has never met. Besides, even if she had no intention of reporting it, what about the three people behind her? Once word spreads, the reputation of their Hurricane Mercenary Group will be ruined!
A drop of cold sweat slid down the corner of his brow, soaking his tight lips......
The lounge was silent, and they could hear each other's breathing. Just as Chen Zhuo was about to open his mouth to retract this sentence, a calm voice came out of the mouth of the person in front of him: "Yaris Academy, Jun Yan." ”
