Previously, Jiang Wuya and Yan Wusheng came to invite Sun Fusheng to join the Qindu Party, but Sun Fusheng actually refused.

In his heart, those so-called big parties, although on the surface benevolent, righteous, moral, and brotherly and righteous, but in fact they only care about the interests of the party at all, and do not care about the lives of their subordinate members at all.

Although Sun Fusheng still trusts Jiang Wuya and Yan Wusheng, the Qindu Party was not created by them after all, and what he is worried about is that when he joins the Fusheng Party to the Qindu Party, Jiang Wuya and Yan Wusheng will not be able to take care of them at all, and his position will probably be very awkward at that time.

However, just now, he saw with his own eyes that Ji Dong actually destroyed one of the three principals of the Qianyun Party in order to stand up for his own people, so that he no longer had the slightest worry in his heart, because he knew that he would bring people to join the Qindu Party, at least he would not have to worry about being sold by the party leader.

"Brother Yan, if you say anything superfluous, I won't say much about it below, I am willing to lead all the members of the Floating Life Party to join the Qindu Party, and I hope that the Qindu Party can take it in!"

After a short period of thought, Sun Fusheng gritted his teeth violently, and said directly to Yan silently.

Up to now, he is sincerely willing to join the Qindu Party, and even he is a little worried about whether Ji Dong can look down on his Floating Life Party, after all, the scale of the Floating Life Party is pitiful, and he is the only one who is in the Law Realm, and Ji Dong's strength is there, I am afraid that he can destroy them all at will.

"Brother Sun, what are you talking about? As long as Brother Sun is willing to join the Qindu Party, I believe that the Qindu Party will be very welcome, and I will report this matter to the Party Leader later! ”

Hearing that Sun Fusheng finally agreed to join the Qindu Party, Yan Wusheng suddenly showed a hint of joy, however, it is true that this matter is not up to him to decide at the moment, after all, Ji Dong is on the side at this moment, and I am afraid that it will not be his turn to make such a decision.

However, he believes that Ji Dong is a person who loves and hates clearly, as long as Ji Dong understands the performance of the Floating Life Party this time, he believes that Ji Dong will definitely be able to agree to the joining of the Floating Life Party...............

The scene gradually became quieter, Ji Dong was recuperating Jiang Wuya's injuries at this time, and Yan Wusheng and the others were afraid of disturbing Ji Dong, so they didn't say more, but waited obediently one by one.

Almost a quarter of an hour or so passed, and finally, Ji Dong's hand on Jiang Wuya's shoulder was slowly retracted, and at this time, Jiang Wuya's complexion had obviously improved a lot, and his breath had completely stabilized, and it was estimated that as long as he had been recuperated by the pill for a period of time, he should soon be able to return to normal.

Not only that, although Jiang Wuya's injuries this time were not light, but in general there were no fatal injuries, and he even believed that with the assistance of his elixir, maybe Jiang Wuya's strength could improve compared to before, if that was the case, Jiang Wuya would really be a blessing in disguise this time.

"Party leader, is Senior Brother Jiang okay?" Seeing Ji Dong withdraw his hand, Yan silently hurriedly stepped forward and asked Ji Dong.

"It's no big deal, his body functions have returned to normal, let him recover here for a while, I think it won't be long before he can wake up."

Hearing Yan silently ask, Ji Dong nodded, and then said with a smile on his face.

"That's good, that's good, as long as Brother Jiang is fine." After getting Ji Dong's response, Yan Wusheng was overjoyed, but he was sincerely happy for Jiang Wuya.

"By the way, Lord Party Leader, there is something that his subordinates have to report to Lord Party ........." Knowing that Jiang Wuya was fine, Yan Wusheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and he wanted to ask Ji Dong about Sun Fusheng.

"Hehe, Senior Brother Yan doesn't need to say much, I already know everything." Seeing Yan's silent expression, Ji Dong raised his hand with a smile, interrupted the other party's words, and as he spoke, he looked at Sun Fusheng not far away, and took a few steps closer to the other party.

"Senior Brother Sun, I don't know if Senior Brother Sun is willing to join my Qindu Party, and from now on become a member of my Qindu Party, everyone will share weal and woe, and advance and retreat together!"

Looking at Sun Fusheng in front of him, Ji Dong nodded without a trace, and then smiled sincerely.

He had already heard what Yan Wusheng said before, and in addition, when he arrived here before, he had also seen the situation of the Fusheng Party, and knew that the Fusheng Party did not give in when facing the Qianyun Party, but supported Jiang Wuya and Yan Wusheng, and this kind of courage and principle made him secretly admire this Sun Party leader.

It can be said that the Qindu Party is currently lacking this kind of person, and if a few more such people can join, then the future of the Qindu Party will definitely be difficult to estimate.

"I am willing to join the Qindu Party, and from now on I will obey the dispatch of the party leader at any time!!"

Hearing Ji Dong's personal invitation to him, Sun Fusheng couldn't help but tremble, his face was full of gratitude, and as he spoke, he bent down respectfully to Ji Dong, and said in a solemn tone.

He knew in his heart that Ji Dong was trying to give him enough face, speaking of which, it was his own will that he wanted to join the Qindu Party this time, but Ji Dong actually took the initiative to send out an invitation, although the final result was actually the same, but there was actually a big difference between the two.

He took the initiative to join, which was equivalent to him begging Ji Dong to take him in, but Ji Dong took the initiative to send out an invitation, which was equivalent to Ji Dong's attention and recognition of him, which would definitely have a great impact on his future status in the Qindu Party.

"Okay, welcome Senior Brother Sun to join the Qindu Party, I hope Senior Brother Sun can show his strength in the Qindu Party and achieve extraordinary achievements in the future!"

Seeing Sun Fusheng bending down to salute himself, Ji Dong couldn't help but show a smile of relief, "By the way, I have some pills here, this bottle is for Senior Brother Sun's own use, these are for the injured brothers to heal, Senior Brother Sun take it and distribute it, don't let you brothers fall into a dark illness." ”

As he spoke, he took out two jade bottles, one of which was naturally the Great Returning Pill, and the other bottle was not as precious as the Great Returning Pill, but it was definitely a rare healing elixir, at least on weekdays.

"Shhh......... This ............"

Seeing that Ji Dong had actually taken out so many precious pills and rewarded them while speaking, Sun Fusheng had not recovered from the excitement of joining the Qindu Party, and he fell into a stupor again.

He knew that he had really done the most correct thing this time, maybe this was an opportunity for him, from today on, his days in the Qing Ying Sect were estimated to be about to turn a new page.

The deposition of Duan Tiancheng, the hall master of the Cloud Gate Hall, and the two deputy hall masters, such a big event spread throughout the Qing Ying Sect almost in just a few hours.

Duan Tiancheng's fame in the Qing Ying Sect is beyond doubt, a strong man like him who has been famous for a long time, looking at the entire Qing Ying Sect, basically no one will not recognize him, but no one thought that such a strong man would be abolished by a little-known Qin Du Party leader!

Almost all the people of the Qingyin Sect have heard that Duan Tiancheng was cut off by the leader of the Qin Du Party because he injured the people of the Qin Du Party, and then he was chased to the door of the house by the other party, and he was abolished at the door of the Qianyun Party.

All of a sudden, the name of the Qin Capital Party was like having wings, and it quickly spread throughout the Qing Ming Sect, and at this time, everyone already knew that the Qing Ming Sect had an additional Qin Du Party, and moreover, the party leader of the Qin Du Party easily destroyed a master of the Xiang Xiang Realm!

I don't know how many people have begun to secretly inquire about the information about the leader of the Qindu Party, and everyone wants to find out where such a super strong man came from.

However, it is a pity that Ji Dong not only wore a mask, but also disguised his breath, and those who want to find out his details are probably destined to be difficult to succeed...............

"Hahaha, Brother Cheng, you weren't there at the time, it's really a pity, you didn't see it, the party leader slashed at once, and he didn't even use the law at all, so he cut off one of Duan Tiancheng's arms, such earth-shattering knife techniques, and the people who can see them are simply blessings from the previous life!"

In the palace of the Qin Du Party, in a quiet secret room, the five powerhouses of the Qin Du Party, led by Yan Wusheng, were sitting together chatting, and it was Guo Zihao who spoke, and he could hear that even after such a long time, he still didn't seem to have recovered from Ji Dong's previous battle.

"Oh, the party leader is really, you have to let me stay in the town, and I actually missed such a wonderful scene, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity!!"

Listening to Guo Zihao's narration, Cheng Ziyue simply beat his chest, and his face was full of chagrin.

Just now, Guo Zihao had already told everything that had happened before, and when he learned that Ji Dong had killed all sides, even Duan Tiancheng and other strong people had been abolished by Ji Dong, and while he was shocked, he couldn't help but feel sorry for not being able to see all this with his own eyes.

Duan Tiancheng is such a character, Ji Dong can even kill such a strong person, you can imagine how fierce the battle was at that time.

"The combat effectiveness of the Party Master is really terrifying, especially the sword technique, I see that the Party Master's sword technique has reached the realm of transformation, looking at the entire Qingying Sect, I am afraid that there are very few people who want to compete with the Party Master in the sword technique."

Seeing Cheng Ziyue's appearance of beating his chest, Yan Wusheng on the side couldn't help but smile, but he was also full of sighs.

None of them are mediocre hands, so they can naturally see the horror of Ji Dong's sword techniques, and frankly speaking, under the premise of not using the law phase, they can only rely on the sword mana to suppress Duan Tiancheng, and among the disciples of the entire Qingying Sect, I am afraid that there is really no second one.

"I'm afraid the impact of this incident is not small, I have already asked people to investigate, and now that the Qianyun Party is surging on the other side, I don't know if it will come to seek revenge, I think we should always be ready to fight."

Seeing a few people chatting with a relaxed face, Sun Fusheng, who had just joined the Qindu Party not long ago, couldn't help but interject with a smile and reminded the other people.

"What Brother Sun said is very true, the Qianyun Party has suffered such a big loss this time, maybe someone will come to find a place, and in this regard, our Qindu Party really has to guard against it."

Hearing Sun Fusheng's words, Yi Li on the side hurriedly took over the conversation, full of approval.

The Qianyun Party is not a soft persimmon, whoever wants to pinch it can do it casually, Ji Dong abolished the hall master of the Qianyun Party Yunmen Hall this time, those who want to come to the Qianyun Party will never just forget it, you know, the Qianyun Party still has the Qianji Hall, and the strength of the Qianji Hall is still above the Cloud Gate Hall.

"This is exactly what I want to say when I called a few brothers over at the moment, right now the party leader is still helping Brother Jiang to recuperate, but he doesn't have time to think about it more, so we must take precautions, and we must not let the Qindu Party lose anything at this time."

Hearing the talk of several people, Yan Wusheng interjected with a smile again. Among the five people here, he is actually relatively old, and he is the first to join the Qindu Party, so there are some things that should be taken by him.

"It's time to study it, right now, our Qindu Party is quite strong, and if the Qianyun Party wants to get back, I'm afraid it's not so easy."

"Yes, one of the strongest two members of the Qianyun Party has been abolished, I want to see what other means the Qianyun Party has, tsk, speaking of which, I hope that the guy from the Qianjitang will also come and make a few moves with the party leader, maybe I can make up for my previous regrets."

"Hahaha, if that guy from Qianjitang dares to come, I think it's definitely not a matter for the party leader to kill him!"

“……………”

Speaking of which, in fact, everyone knows in their hearts that don't look at the Qianyun Party has suffered a big loss this time, but it is basically impossible to say that they dare to come to blatantly seek revenge, after all, Ji Dong is not even useful to the law, so he abolished Duan Tiancheng, and those who want to seek revenge must weigh their own weight.

As for what they have to guard against, it is mainly the secret hand of the Qianyun Party, maybe the people of the Qianyun Party will attack the ordinary members of the Qindu Party, and it may even be secretly bad to them, so they still have to do a good job of prevention.

Be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, they can be regarded as old fritters in the Qing Ying Sect, this little bit of precaution is still there, and as long as they are careful, if the Qianyun Party wants to find them trouble, it will not be so easy. Especially now, everyone knows that the leader of the Qindu Party is a person who protects his shortcomings, and those who want to move them will probably have to consider whether they can deal with the knife in Ji Dong's hand at the first time.

"Is the Cloud Party Master available? Huo Man of the Juyi Party came to visit the Yun Party Leader, and invited the Yun Party Master to show up! ”

Just as Yan Silent and the others had just begun to discuss measures to deal with the Qianyun Party, a shout suddenly came from outside, loud, but full of respect, and even a hint of humility.

The sudden shouting made a few people present slightly stunned, but they couldn't figure out why the people from the Juyi Party suddenly came here.

"Juyi Huo Man? Why did he come to our Qindu Party? Could it be that this person still has something to do with the party leader? ”

After a short period of stunned, Guo Zihao was the first to frown, and said in a low tone.

Speaking of which, before Guo Zihao joined the Qindu Party, the Juyi Party invited him many times, but in the end he was refused, and because of this, the Juyi Party continued to make trouble for him in the dark, which can basically be said to be tearing his face.

Hearing that Huo Man came to meet Ji Dong this time, Guo Zihao's heart suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"Hahaha, Brother Guo, don't get me wrong, how can the party leader have anything to do with him?" Seeing Guo Zihao frowning, Cheng Ziyue on the side couldn't help but laugh aloud, "Hehe, Brother Guo doesn't know, a while ago, the Qindu Party occupied these spiritual peaks of the Juyi Party, and that Huo Man actually brought people to find a scene, but he was beaten up by the party leader, I estimate that he came this time, nine times out of ten, he came to ask for guilt!" ”

"I see, that's ............" Hearing Cheng Ziyue's explanation, Guo Zihao suddenly realized, and his heart was suddenly happy.

Speaking of which, he was not an opponent of the Juyi Party before, and he had to be suppressed by the other party everywhere, but now that he has joined the Qindu Party, the situation is completely different.

"Tut, a few people, let's go out and have a look, no matter what, this Huo Man is also the third hall master of the Juyi Party, and he took the initiative to visit, my Qindu Party can't be too rude, right?"

At this time, Yan Wusheng couldn't help but smile and stood up and said to a few people on the side.

"Hahaha, okay, then let's go and meet this Huo Hall Master together and see what medicine he sells in his gourd."

"Let's go, let's go ............ together"

As the saying goes, stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, since Huo Man took the initiative to visit, of course the Qin Du Party couldn't behave too arrogantly and rudely, in addition, they knew in their hearts that Huo Man definitely couldn't be looking for trouble.

While speaking, a group of five people had already come to the outside of the palace, and from a distance, everyone saw Huo Man, the third hall master of the Juyi Party, standing far away from the palace gate, where he was cautiously waiting for an interview.

Seeing this, the five of them couldn't help but glance at each other, and they all saw a faint smile in each other's eyes.

They all know the rules here, and if they come to visit, they must at least come to the door, but this Huo Man actually stood so far away, such a performance is undoubtedly a sign of humility in awe.

"It turned out to be Hall Master Huo coming, welcome!!"

Between the eyes, Yan Wusheng couldn't help but take a few steps forward and greeted Huo Man.

"You are polite, take the liberty to come and disturb, I hope you don't be surprised!" Seeing Yan Silent and his party walking towards him, Huo Man's eyes couldn't help flashing, and he hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand.

As the third hall master of the Juyi Party, he had long known the news that Yi Li, Guo Zihao, Sun Fusheng and others had joined the Qindu Party, but seeing these people gather together at this moment, he still inevitably felt a little surprised in his heart.

How many days has the Qindu Party been founded? has gathered so many good players, although there is no way to compare with the Juyi Party in terms of numbers, but there is a super master of Ji Dong in the Qindu Party, and it is estimated that it is very possible to surpass the Juyi Party.

In addition, Yan Wusheng, Jiang Wuya and the others are not like those guys from the Juyi Party, these people are all arrogant and upright, these people get together, and they will not be as intriguing and deceitful as the Juyi Party, he actually knows this.

"Hehe, Hall Master Huo is really polite, why have I never seen Hall Master Huo so humble before? Today is really an eye-opener, hahahaha!! ”

Seeing Huo Man's humble and polite appearance, Guo Zihao on the other side couldn't believe his eyes, and after a long time, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Doom......... Ahem, Brother Guo laughed. Hearing Guo Zihao's words, Huo Man's face couldn't help but flash a trace of embarrassment, "By the way, I don't know if the leader of your party is here?" This time, I have come to apologize for my reckless act last time, and I hope that the leader of your party will show up. ”

With a straight face, Huo Man didn't answer Guo Zihao's words, but directly moved the topic to business.

He had brought people to trouble the Qindu Party before, and after he went back, he had been thinking about when to take revenge, however, not long ago, he actually heard that the leader of the Qindu Party had destroyed Duan Tiancheng of the Qianyun Party, and when he heard the news, he was so frightened that he almost peed his pants.

At this point, his original hatred had already been thrown out of the clouds by him, and he hurriedly ran to apologize to Ji Dong as soon as possible, for fear that Ji Dong would still hate himself.

"The party leader is busy, how can you see it if you want to?"

As soon as Huo Man's words fell, Guo Zihao on the other side took over the conversation again and said very politely. This is the way he has to do it with the Righteous Party, and if he wants to make peace with the other party at the moment, of course he can't do it.

"Ah, that's it............" Hearing this, Huo Man's face couldn't help but flash a trace of embarrassment, but he didn't know what to do.

"Hehe, Hall Master Huo, the Party Master does have something to do, I think it's better to be like this, if Hall Master Huo has something, just tell us, and a few of us will definitely deliver Hall Master Huo's words to the Party Master."

At this time, Yan Wusheng couldn't help but chuckle, and he was quite friendly and authentic. In any case, Huo Man's identity is not bad, a simple squeeze on a few words is enough, but it is not too much.

"Ah, yes, yes, that's fine." Hearing Yan's silent words, Huo Man's face suddenly turned happy, "That's the case, what happened last time, it was really too inappropriate to do it in the next place, so this time I came to say sorry to the Yun Party Master, in addition, I know that the Qindu Party is now developing and growing, so I decided to give the five spiritual peaks that are relatively close to your party to the Qindu Party in my personal name to show my sincerity!" ”

The strength of the Qindu Party was completely beyond his expectations, and in order to allow Ji Dong to completely eliminate the mustard, he thought about it again and again, and finally made the decision now.

"What? Give those five spiritual peaks to the Qin Capital Party?!! ”

When Huo Man's words fell, Yan Wusheng and the others, who were originally indifferent, changed their faces almost at the same time, but they couldn't believe their ears.

Frankly speaking, Yan Wusheng and the others had already guessed Huo Man's intention this time, but what they never expected was that this Huo Man was so atmospheric, and it turned out to be a full five spirit peaks as soon as he made a move.

Although there are a lot of spiritual peaks in the Qingying Sect, the good spiritual peaks are basically occupied by the major parties, and the Qin Du Party is not good at casually snatching other people's spiritual peaks, right? After all, if the Qin Du Party went too far, it would be a complete failure to abide by the rules of the game of the Qing Ying Sect.

Right now, Huo Man actually took the initiative to send five spirit peaks, which really solved a lot of problems for the Qin Du Party, at least, with these five spirit peaks, the Qin Du Party didn't have to worry about the number of spirit peaks for a long time.

"Hahaha, Hall Master Huo, you are really ......... Good, interesting enough, atmospheric enough, hahahaha!! ”

After a short period of astonishment, the first person to jump out and speak was Guo Zihao, although Guo Zihao had a lot of opinions on the Juyi Party, but this time Huo Man actually took out five spirit peaks at once to apologize, such a handiwork, even he had to say a word of admiration.

You know, those are five spirit peaks, if you trade these five spirit peaks, it is estimated that they can be sold for a good price.

"Hehe, Brother Guo is serious, this matter is my fault first, only five spiritual peaks, it is difficult to express my apologies, from now on, I will definitely restrain the members of the party, and it will never cause the slightest hindrance to the development of the Qindu party!"

Seeing the expressions of the five people, Huo Man couldn't help but smile a little, as if he didn't care about it.

In fact, he took out five spiritual peaks in his personal name this time, which is indeed a big deal, and in addition, on the side of the Juyi Party, he may have to explain, after all, although these five spiritual peaks are indeed owned by his hall, but if they are taken out for no reason like this, others will inevitably be a little dissatisfied.

"Hall Master Huo is really too polite, the previous misunderstandings have already been explained, Hall Master Huo is really not necessary, so let's do it, Hall Master Huo's intentions, I will truthfully convey it to the Party Master, as for what the Party Master means, it is not up to me to influence it."

Hiko's silent gaze flashed, and then he said with a smile.

Speaking of which, others may not have thought too much, but he has basically seen Huo Man's approach thoroughly.

He knew which Lingfeng Huo Man was going to give to the Juyi Party, in fact, even if the other party didn't give these Lingfeng to the Qindu Party, it was estimated that these Lingfeng would sooner or later fall into the hands of the Qindu Party, and now that the other party took the initiative to give the Lingfeng to the Qindu Party, it could also leave a good impression on the Qindu Party, so that even if the Qindu Party wanted to expand its territory in the future, it would not fight his idea again.

"It's okay, then there is Brother Lao Yan." Hearing Yan's silent words, Huo Man hurriedly nodded, and then continued, "Everyone, I'm really sorry for disturbing you for so long, since the matter has been said, then I'll leave for the time being, everyone, we'll have a date later!" ”

He believes that the Qindu Party will never refuse his kindness, and with this overture, he believes that the Qindu Party will definitely sell him a thin face in the future, even if the Qindu Party makes a move against the Juyi Party, at least his hall will be fine.

"Please!!" Hearing Huo Man's words, several people from the Qindu Party couldn't help but arch their hands, and they were quite polite.

As they spoke, the five of them watched Huo Man leave, until the other party disappeared below the spirit peak of the Qin Du Party.

"Tsk, I really can't imagine that this Huo Man will have such a humble time, when he saw this guy in the past, his tail was almost raised to the sky."

When Huo Man left, Guo Zihao was simply unable to recover for a long time, he had never been so comfortable as today, and the three hall masters of the dignified Juyi Party were so squeezed by him that he didn't even dare to say more, this feeling was simply extremely cool.

"Who dares not to bow their heads when people are under the eaves? This Huo Man is also a smart person, and I have to say that his approach this time has a bit of the courage of a person who does great things. ”

Shaking his head and smiling, Yan Wusheng didn't feel much, he didn't just look at the surface, at least he wouldn't be proud of Huo Man's humble attitude, after all, Huo Man's humility was not for them, but for Ji Dong.

"I don't know how the party leader will decide, whether to accept these five spiritual peaks or not?" At this time, Yi Li, who hadn't opened his mouth much, suddenly stood up and said with a frown. Obviously, he should have seen some of the stakes as well.

"Let's wait until the party leader finishes conditioning Brother Jiang's body, how to make an idea depends on the party leader's own thoughts."

Glancing at Yi Li, Yan Wusheng couldn't help but smile a little, and then nodded.

"Senior Brother Yan, send someone to take over the five spiritual peaks, it's rare for the Juyi Party to be so generous, and it's not easy for us to save people's face!!"

Just when a few people were talking, Ji Dong's voice suddenly sounded in the ears of several people, and there was no trace of this voice, it was completely like Ji Dong was talking to them in his ears.

"Hey, this ..............."

Suddenly hearing Ji Dong's voice, Yan Wusheng and the others were stunned, and hurriedly looked around for Ji Dong's figure, but after looking at it for a long time, they didn't even see Ji Dong's shadow at all.

"This ......... Is this the method of the party leader?!! ”

Taking a deep breath, the five of them couldn't help but glance at each other, and they all saw a deep shock in each other's eyes.

Ji Dong was obviously not in front of them, but he was able to transmit the voice to their ears, and he didn't use shouting, such a means was really unimaginable to them.

"Phew, obey the orders of the party leader!!"

In the midst of the shock, Yan Wusheng couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, and simply arched his hand towards the void, and replied very solemnly. At this moment, Ji Dong became more and more mysterious in his mind.

"During this time, a few senior brothers have bothered a lot about the affairs of the Qindu Party, I want to help Senior Brother Jiang take care of his injuries, if there is anything that can't be solved, a few senior brothers will come to me in the secret room."

At this time, Ji Dong's voice sounded again, still so ethereal, but real and audible.

"It's our duty to wait!!"

Hearing Ji Dong's voice, everyone, including Yan Wusheng, looked awe-inspired, and bowed back in the direction of the inside of the palace.

They all thought that they already knew a lot about Ji Dong's strength and methods, but it was not until this moment that they understood that Ji Dong's methods were not what they could imagine at all, and compared to Ji Dong, they were really like frogs at the bottom of a well.
