"Coming back?"

At a stone table in the backyard of Tianbao Pavilion, Liu Mad was lying comfortably on a recliner with his eyelids slightly raised, and he didn't get up with a lazy look.

"Well, it's back. Xu Xiaozhan was slightly stunned, a little surprised, but he was not surprised, and he also came to the stone table while speaking, and took out a recliner from the space ring with a wave of his hand, and then lay down on his stomach.

After a long breath, the entire backyard was silent, and no one spoke. And if someone comes here at this moment, they will be shocked to find that the two people who are serious in front of people are completely lazy and unobtrusive at the moment.

Or, if Liu Pan gets here, he will find that the recliner of Xu Xiaozhan and Liu Mad is completely modeled after the chaise longue he used when he was in Wanbaolou, and the materials are even much more elaborate than his chaise longue.

"Hey~, I really understand more and more now why Brother Pan made such a recliner in the first place, and he just lay down if he had nothing to do. The comfort of relieving fatigue makes you want to be decadent forever. After a long time, Xu Xiaozhan spoke, but he struggled to get up from the recliner, and then looked at Liu Mad, still lazy and did not move.

Shaking his head, Xu Xiaozhan didn't bother Liu Mad , he wouldn't think that Liu Mad was really so decadent and lazy.

In the three years since he settled in the Middle Sacred Domain, Xu Xiaozhan has only seen Liu Mad lying in the courtyard resting in a dejected manner three times, and other times Liu Mad is either in retreat and cultivating, or doing hard labor, handling all kinds of necessary matters that have been arranged.

Rare leisure, relaxation is necessary. And Liu Mad is free to arrange time to relax, but Xu Xiaozhan can't, after all, he is in charge of a behemoth like Tianbao Pavilion, and it really depends on when he has nothing to do.

Moreover, what Xu Xiaozhan has to do is not to wait for something to come to the door, but to take the initiative to find something. After all, only by taking the initiative to find more "trouble" things could he find more opportunities for the rapid development and expansion of Tianbao Pavilion.

Take out the storage ring that Steward He gave me earlier. As a matter of routine, Xu Xiaozhan began to check the various intelligence matters that had come recently.

For He Guanshi, this is one of Xu Xiaozhan's most trusted henchmen. Of course, this trust is not blind, but based on the confirmation of Lei Sheng and Liu Mad after nodding at the same time.

After returning from each necessary outing, Steward He would hand over the recent intelligence matters from all over to Xu Xiaozhan, and Xu Xiaozhan would analyze and sort out these intelligence information, and then roughly decide the next expansion direction and plan of Tianbao Pavilion as a whole.

After a while, Xu Xiaozhan suddenly stretched out his hand, took out a copy of the many pieces of information, and handed it to Liu Mad not far away.

Liu Mad opened his eyes, a little surprised, took the intelligence document and looked at it, but it was an information report on the raw material ore of emerging technology in a territory in the Nanyan region.

Shaking his head helplessly, Liu Mad dropped the report, and then raised his hand, a slight knife groan, and the inside of the large array barrier that originally covered the entire backyard suddenly flashed with a slight red light that was imperceptible to the naked eye.

"How many times have I told you, I have checked the formation in the backyard, there is no problem, there is something to say directly, there is no need to go around so many curves. Liu Mad opened his mouth and sat up slightly as he spoke.

"I can't believe it, it's an old problem, and you don't know the sequelae in Liyun City. Xu Xiaozhan opened his mouth, once again took out a copy of the information document in front of him and handed it to Liu Mad, and then joked with a smile: "If this formation is from your hand, I may be able to trust it, otherwise, when will you take the time to rearrange the formation here?"

"Forget it, that's good. Liu shook his head and rejected Xu Xiaozhan's proposal without hesitation.

For the formation path, Liu Mad's research is indeed not low, but few people know about it, and there is even a trail information circulating in the outside world without a trace: Liu Mad's formation qualification is not high, and at present, even the fifth-order formation can only be arranged by luck, and there is not much cultivation of the formation path.

For the lessons of the failures of his predecessors, Liu Mad was vigilant, after all, he didn't want to repeat the mistake of the Fire Saint Liu Luohan's fall.

took the scroll handed by Xu Xiaozhan, but in an instant, Liu Mad's eyes flashed slightly, and then he dropped the scroll in his hand without a trace, looked at Xu Xiaozhan a little inexplicably, and said, "Why are you showing me this information? A cross-sea spaceship is just leaving the country, what is there to pay attention to?"

Xu Xiaozhan was silent when he heard this, and the smile on his face also retracted. He stared at Liu Yan's eyes for a long moment before he said slowly, "Do you know why I have been able to maintain a smooth development both in the original Hundred Treasure Chamber of Commerce and in the current Tianbao Pavilion?"

"Because of your care, and because of my knowledge. I can tell from a person's words, actions, and micro-expressions whether the person is credible or not, whether they can be trusted, and even roughly guess whether the person is lying. ”

"Before, after reading this message, your left eyebrow moved slightly, your pupils shrunk instantly, and even the left hand holding the scroll also changed accordingly, although this is very slight, but these are all slightly and clearly conveying a message to me, what are you hiding. ”

Between the words, Xu Xiaozhan's emotions fluctuated, he stared at Liu Mad with a slight resentment in his eyes, and then aggravated his tone and said: "A year ago, there was also a cross-sea spaceship in the Northern Heaven Region that forcibly left the country, and the person who hijacked the spaceship, according to the intelligence information I collected, it should be Brother Pan." So, aren't you really going to tell me something?"

Silence, depression, the entire backyard of Tianbao Pavilion fell into a dead silence after Xu Xiaozhan asked this sentence. Xu Xiaozhan was suppressing his emotions, while Liu Mad glanced at Xu Xiaozhan, then closed his eyes and lay back in the chair in silence.

For a moment, in the face of Liu Mad who had no response, Xu Xiaozhan couldn't suppress his anger, and said with some emotion: "Yes, I know I'm weak! After cultivating for so many years, I'm just a scum of the martial arts realm, I can't help you and Brother Pan at all, I'm just a waste!"

"And I know that you don't want me to sink too deep out of some concerns or thoughts, and even think that I still have the possibility of staying away from some dangers, but have you really considered my feelings?!"

Xu Xiaozhan became more and more excited, and the stone table under the palm of his hand also gave birth to several cracks, and then seeing that Liu Mad still had no reaction, he paused and continued: "I am also a member of the 'extreme'! I will not cower because of danger, let alone be greedy for life and afraid of death! I am not afraid to tell you the truth, since I used the generator to make a deal with Lei Zong in the Baibao Chamber of Commerce, I have already looked down on life and death. In my heart, you and Brother Pan are my brothers in this life!"

"You and Brother Pan have helped me too much, and I want to help you too! But I'm too weak and don't have that strength, so I've been trying my best to climb up in the field I'm good at step by step over the years, this is just that I want to have a real chance to really help you at some point! And I can prove that I, Xu Xiaozhan, am not a waste! I am qualified to be your brother!"

"Originally, everything was fine, however, everything has changed since the news about Brother Pan came out from Tuzong! You met with Lei Sheng after that, although this is hidden from me, but I can guess, and even, I know that the topic you talk to Lei Sheng about Brother Pan the most is about Brother Pan. ”

"Brother Pan broke into the Tuzong, and had a fight with the Tusheng, and then suddenly went to the Northern Plains, you haven't told me about these, but you can find out!"

"Of course, it's not a secret that Brother Pan went to Beiyuan after going to Tuzong, and it's normal to find out! But now, after Brother Pan returned to Zhongzhou from Beiyuan, he went !!to Xidesert again!

"The Pange people returned to Zhongzhou from the Northern Plains, but why didn't they even delay coming to the Middle Sacred Domain to meet us?!

"Taking a step back, even if he really didn't want to delay his time to come here to see us, why did he leave without even saying a word?!"

"I'm a businessman, but I'm not a fool who doesn't understand the world! I didn't care if you hid my information about Brother Pan from me, but now! You have to tell me the truth, is Brother Pan in trouble? Or is there something he really can't say that he can't meet us, or even have the slightest connection with us?"

There was silence again, Xu Xiaozhan stared at Liu Mad, but Liu Mad still didn't react......

"Okay, don't say yes, I'll check it myself!" Xu Xiaozhan nodded, but he laughed angrily, and said, "You wait for me! I'll arrange for someone to go to Rammed Earth City to check now, I still don't believe it!"

As he spoke, Xu Xiaozhan turned his head and left, looking completely resolute.

However, for Xu Xiaozhan's reaction, Liu Mad still didn't even raise his eyelids for half a minute, and if it weren't for the rhythm of the fingers of his right hand on the armrest of the recliner, he would have looked like he had fallen asleep.

......

About half a quarter of an hour later, Xu Xiaozhan appeared in front of Liu Mad again, however, this time Xu Xiaozhan didn't have the previous half-determined look on his face, he just looked at Liu Mad with a serious face, and said, "You really don't plan not to tell me about Brother Pan?"

Just a sentence, followed by a moment of silence, and then Xu Xiaozhan resolutely turned around and prepared to leave.

"Alas~" At this moment, Liu Mad still didn't open his eyes, just sighed and said, "You really want to know about him?"

Xu Xiaozhan paused slightly when he heard this, turned his head to look at Liu Mad, and said with a serious expression: "Yes." ”

This can have a bad effect on some of your beliefs, and may even make you fearful, disgusted, or even hated them. So, do you still want to know?" Liu Madness spoke, his words were very light, and he finally opened his eyes again at this moment.

Xu Xiaozhan was silent, but after a while, he didn't answer the rhetorical question, and said, "I can hear that there was hesitation and uncertainty in your previous words, does this mean that most of the situation about Brother Pan is also based on speculation, and there is no practical basis to be sure?"

Liu Mad nodded, but he was not surprised that Xu Xiaozhan would ask this question, and said, "Yes." ”

Xu Xiaozhan smiled and said, "Since it is speculation, then there is nothing to fear, as long as you don't hide anything from me, it's best." ”

"I hope you'll be able to laugh later. Liu Mad opened his mouth, looking at Xu Xiaozhan's smiling face at the moment, but he sighed slightly in his heart.

"That's right. Xu Xiaozhan seemed to think of something at the moment, but before this information transmission and reception, he couldn't help but ask: "I was like that before, why don't you still refuse to tell me about Brother Pan?"

Liu Mad: "Because your acting skills are too bad!"

Xu Xiaozhan: "......"
