Chapter 108: Returning home after small talk
After dragging Archie out of the teahouse, he still seemed absent-minded. I didn't have time to care about him, so I looked around at the village of Remnant Sun - I finally ran out to play, and there was no reason why I couldn't have a good time, didn't I?
It is worthy of being the seat of the Second Gang, and it is quite imposing: it should not be called a "village" at all, but a "small town" to be more appropriate! Although it is not as lively as the proud city, it is not unrelenting:
Archie and I were on a street that was well connected in all directions, and although it was not surrounded by tall buildings, there were rows of beautiful huts crisscrossed by them, and the floor was paved with smooth marble, and even better of all, there was a fountain in the center of the street, and if pedestrians were tired of walking, they could sit on the stone benches near the fountain to cool off.
The inhabitants of the village were dressed in a very special way: there were few people, but most of them wore black coats and black sunglasses, and the men had extremely long hair and even shawls, while the women wore long hair and lipstick...... Killer!
The passers-by passing by the village of Remnant Sun did not dare to make a noise, and secretly looked at their faces for no more than three seconds, but many people's eyes shifted from their bodies to me and Archieβwhat a familiar look, and I clearly felt the almost treatment of everyone: when they saw me, their faces were filled with novelty and surprise, and when they turned to look at Archie, their expressions were mixed with disgust and contempt!
The corners of my mouth twitched silently: Would you please take a look at my personal medal? When we were away, Archie and I became separaters, and in order to make things easier, we teamed up with each other, each wearing a medal on our chest:
Obashi Still Water (Level: 13)
Archie (Level: 30)
- Archie and I are at the same level as one heaven and one earth, why do people still dislike Archie so much? Could it be that it's just because Archie is a nether? Obviously, my level is outrageously low!
- Maybe I'm a female martial saint, that's why they favor me?
- Oh, what would they have done if they knew that I wasn't a Valkyrie, but a Female Sword Fairy?
- It would be nice if the nameless were there, but his personal badge would show "Deputy Patriarch", what kind of expression would the deputy patriarch of a family look like if they appeared as a ghost?
I was amusefully cranky, and just thinking about namelessness made me angry for no reason. Pouting, I grabbed Archie's right arm and walked away from the fountain as a matter of courseβI had already rested enough from the teahouse, and besides, it was almost the beginning of winter, and the weather was pleasant, neither cold nor hot!
We walked aimlessly, further and further away, until Archie looked at me again and again, and finally stopped, and I had to stopβI couldn't hold him! Turning back, I looked at him unpleasantly, and he tilted his head and asked, puzzled:
"Xiaoqiao, where are we going?"
"Where are you going?" I blinked, remembering that we were wandering around rather than going to a destination.
"What about you, let me ask you!" Archie knocked on my head in amusement. I didn't want to be knocked by him, so I quickly turned my head to dodge.
Archie stretched, walked under a tree, sat down straight, beckoned to me, and scolded, "You can't afford to lose anything!" Come here, sit here. β
"Why don't you go shopping?" I rolled my eyes and strode in front of him.
"Where do you want to go?" Archie closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead, "I'm a little worried, let's take a break!" If you're feeling bored, let's talk for a while? β
"Okay, so what are you talking about?" I cocked my mouth, and in fact I found it boring.
"You...... Are you jealous? Archie "um" for a long time, carefully considering the words, and speaking amazingly.
- His question is terrifying! I was stunned for a long time, shook my head, jumped to my feet in shame, my face heated uncontrollably, and shouted in annoyance: "Why do you suddenly ask that? What nonsense are you talking about? β
"Am I talking nonsense?" Archie looked at me with a smirk, "It's really strange: you can live comfortably in the arrogant village and don't have to run around at all, so why do you want to think about it?" β
"I like to wander around, don't I?" I snorted, raised my chin, and fought back hard, "I haven't said anything about you yet, even if you are no longer used to looking at the arrogant and enchanting, how can you dare to quit the family - you are willing to snow?" β
"Ahem......" Archie coughed awkwardly and waved his hand repeatedly, "That's differentβ"
"How is it different?" I hurriedly grabbed the handle, saving him from interrogating me like a surprise, and asked me so embarrassed, "Are you and Xue not partners?" Now that you quit the family, why don't you think about her? Is she sad? Is it sad or not? If it were me, maybe I would have left the family and have a few days with you. β
Archie said: "She said it - that day, when she saw me leaving, she immediately proposed that she also want to quit the family, and I appeased her not to retreat!" I promised her that I would be back in less than a month. There's a reason why I'm quitting the family......" He seemed to remember something unpleasant, and his voice gradually became quieter.
"Why?" I was curious and hurriedly asked.
Archie paused, and said, "Alas! I shouldn't have said that, lest others think I'm sowing discord! Now that there are only you and me here, I might as well just talk about it. I'm taboo to be arrogant and enchanting, she thought...... She wants to seize power! β
"Oh? β¦β¦ Oh! My eyes widened and I stared at Archie in disbelief.
Archie said, "Do you not believe me? β
I nodded, then shook my head again.
Archie sighed, "You and I don't think it's nonsense, or to pass the time, anyway...... In short, Ao Zhan Enchanting wants to take power alone! The reason for my withdrawal from the family is very simple: I was in the gang, and before I turned on the gang voice, I was regarded by Ao Zhan Enchanting as me pretending to be against her! If she wants to make a threat, she will kick me out of the family! Even a few members of the gang who were not in the gang also suffered! On that day, the patriarch also witnessed it with his own eyes, and Xue was so angry that he couldn't speak, but he said, 'If you want to lay off people, you can lay them off, just ask you not to make too much trouble!' ββ¦β¦β
"Poignant and sympathetic to her?" I glared at him incredulously, "This can't be! β
"How could it be?" Archie shook his head, "Actually, you didn't see it with your own eyes, he did say that at the time, but before Ao Zhan Enchanted could do it, several family members took the initiative to retreat." β
I was so angry that I stomped my feet, only hated that I wasn't there that day, and said angrily: "They went too far! If you continue to make trouble like this, you are not afraid of making trouble? Poignant pity which tendon is twitching, and actually favors her ......! β
"This is normal - the transfer of power, there is always a quarrel for a while! Don't be in a hurry, just make a joke and let them go. An inexplicable cold light flashed in Archie's eyes, "I'm sure in a few days, our family will have a big blood change - it's not too late for us to return when it's done there!" β
"Oh! What about Nameless? I jumped up, "Nameless is the deputy patriarch, will he ......"
"That's when I remembered your namelessness?" Archie said teasingly, "Why didn't you think of it earlier? It's in vain that you are embarrassed to run out! But don't worry, your nameless looks like a fool, but he's actually better than anyone else! β
"Better than anyone else?" I looked at Archie in amazement, it was the first time I had heard someone praise Nameless.
Archie stretched his waist and said, "No one can compare to him in terms of shrewdness, although he seems to be very unreliable, you can trust me once, and when you go home, keep your nameless safe and sound." β
"Then why don't we go back now?" After Archie's remarks, I suddenly woke up and couldn't help but ask.
"Go back?" Archie squinted at me, and his expression was as low as he was, "Didn't you say you were going to play for a few days?" β
"It's not like you don't want to play?" I cheekily said, "I've had enough, I'm homesick." β
"You!" Archie laughed, unceremoniously laughing.
"Alright, I admit it! I want to be nameless! Let's go back to the village, okay? I took one hand out of my hand, grabbed his right arm, and tugged on it carefully.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Archie shuddered with laughter as he staggered to his feet.
We walked one after the other, and we were going to set off immediately, but unfortunately we didn't make it.
- What is the saying? When people are unlucky, they drink water and stuff their teeth, and this is also suitable for our current situation: when trouble comes, it is difficult to return home.
As Archie and I walked slowly to the entrance of the village of Remnant Yang, we saw a group of men dressed in black blocking the exit in the distance, unceremoniously driving away pedestrians trying to leave the village.
"Why don't you let us out?" A pedestrian's anger is ruined.
A man in black who was suspected of being the leader said coldly: "The helper has spoken: If you want to leave, wait for tomorrow!" β
"Why tomorrow? Not today? The pedestrian shouted unhappily.
The man in black pushed him a few steps and said impatiently: "What are you talking about, if you don't go, you can't go!" β
"You! You! ......" the pedestrian jumped to his feet in a hurry. He looked at the other party, roughly estimating that the other party was outnumbered, and if he dared to resist, he would inevitably suffer, so he walked away stupidly.
Archie and I looked at each other.
"It seems that we are afraid that we will not be able to leave, should we stay overnight?" Archie frowned and suggested.
"It's unfortunate, but I don't want to! I'm going back! I gritted my teeth, and the desire to return became even stronger, "You wait for me here, I'll go and find out what's going on." β
Archie stood still, staring at me dumbfounded, and I emboldened myself and strode forward.
"Wait, you can't pass! Our helper said that it is forbidden to enter and exit now! If you want to leave, you need tomorrow. Sure enough, the guards at the entrance blocked my way, and the man in black kindly reminded me.
"Who are you to dare to care about me?" I made up my mind and said unhappily, "Who is your helper?" Why don't you let us in and out? Do you know who I am? β
"I don't care who you are!" The man in black changed his face and pushed me rudely.
I was unsteady and almost pushed down by him, but fortunately I was held by a hand.
"I'm sorry, this is my little sister!" Archie's voice sounded above my head, "We are members of the Second Army of Proud Battles, from ...... Arrogant Gang. My brother and sister went out to run errands, and we wanted to go back to the village after finishing our work, but since it is inconvenient for you at the moment, we simply rest for another night. β
"What? You are 'proud of the war'...... Arrogant Gang's? The man in the man's clothes had a very strange look.
We looked at him with wonder and saw that he was relieved and annoyed. Two of his companions tugged at him, and I even saw one of them glaring desperately at him.
Archie smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my little sister is ignorant, let's go, let's go." β
He grabbed me with one hand and gradually increased the force, and I feigned shame and followed Archie and turned away.
For some reason, I vaguely felt several blinding lines of sight behind me.
When we were far away and couldn't see them, I struggled slightly, breaking free from Archie's support.
Archie struggled, "They are sensitive to the word 'Proud Battle'. β
"You see that, too?" I wanted to hide my smile.
"Don't you see that? Also ask me! Archie touched his chin and paced back and forth, "Could it be that they have some intentions for Proud Battle?" Blame me for not paying attention to intelligence in a long time-"
"Archie, Archie, we haven't officially returned to that gang yet, but you see yourself as a member of that gang and think about it in advance." Seeing his anxious appearance, I couldn't help but laugh with joy.
Archie said: "You said me, I haven't said you yet, I don't believe you don't have ideas, you haven't thought about it." β
"You're right!" I looked at Archie, and riveted them with great interest, "It's all because they don't let us go, and they look guarded, for fear we won't know!" They've offended me! Don't let me go? Okay, I'll go peek, but it's not as they want! β
Archie was dumbfounded, "What do you want to do?" β
I smiled and said proudly, "You forgot? I'm a sword immortal, so I can be invisible! β
"You naughty and troublemaker," Archie struck me, crying and laughing, "I've figured it out: a knife mouth tofu heart!" Since your spirit has come up, I will not stop you, but you remember to be careful in all things. β
"Don't worry, nothing will happen to me." I smiled and waved my hand and whispered, "Invisibility!" - I'm leaving! β
