Chapter 344: The Mask Monster Has Arrived
How could it be them?
Ding Haican had a cold back and a numb scalp.
Whoever it is, they don't want to be targeted by the high-ranking members of the Zero Point Tavern.
Before that, he only knew that Chu Feng's uncle had a background in the Zero Point Tavern, but he didn't know that this background was so deeply involved!
"Calm down!"
Ding Yixiu said in a low voice: "It's guests from afar, invite them in first!" β
Even Ding Yixiu didn't expect to meet these two here today.
He is the lord of Seahorse City, and these two people have come from afar, and from the perspective of the city, he has now become a host who needs to be hospitable.
But, in all fairness, Ding Yixiu didn't want to see these two people at all.
Or rather, he didn't want to have anything to do with the Zero Tavern.
The Zero Tavern is too deeply involved, it is a huge organization that transcends eras and wars, and lives from the old era to the new era.
It remained hidden in the darkness until the psionic energy came and the world became chaotic, and it was slowly known.
"City Lord, do you want to notify the city defense?" Ding Hai tensed all over his body and asked in a suppressed voice.
"No need, if those two want to do it, we can't escape." Ding Yixiu shook his head.
High-level creatures do it, and the low-level creatures who are watching have to die a lot, and the last battle between Mercer and Fan Lu is enough to explain a lot of things.
If these two people really came with malicious intent, then no one in this villa today may be able to leave.
Even if the city defense department was notified, it was too late.
Fortunately, Ding Yixiu didn't feel any malice and murderous intent, as if those two were just two ordinary people, and they really came to the door to propose.
"Come in and sit down."
Ding Yixiu remained calm and beckoned everyone to enter the villa.
At the same time, he put one hand behind his back and made a gesture to his two bodyguards.
The two bodyguards understood, turned around and left Ding Yixiu's side, and went upstairs and went straight to Ding Can.
If things change, the task of the two of them is not to protect Ding Yixiu, but to take Ding Can away and try to keep Ding Can alive.
"Don't be nervous, we'll be a family from now on." Ding Hai was also full of smiles, and he couldn't see too much abnormality.
"Yes, yes, I've seen Uncle Ding......"
Chu Feng was still a little nervous, and he unconsciously used some force to hold Ding Xiaowen's hand.
The Ding family's villa is magnificent, richly decorated, and the hanging lamps are brighter than crystal, even a wall tile reveals the breath of money.
The floor is clean and translucent, as if it has been waxed, so bright that it can reflect the reflection of people.
When Chu Feng stepped into the house, he also subconsciously looked down at his shoes, for fear that the soil brought by the shoes would stain the floor tiles.
Seeing this scene, Ding Hai patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Don't always bow your head, learn to be a man, your life of bowing your head is over, and you have to hold your head up for the rest of your life." β
"Yes, thank you, uncle."
"Haha, don't be so polite!"
The generosity and warmth of this prospective father-in-law surprised Chu Feng.
He thought that today's proposal would be very difficult, and even if the people of the Ding family didn't make it difficult for him, they wouldn't give him a good look.
He had already anticipated the worst-case scenario, and even rehearsed countless scenes in his mind where he couldn't enter the door of the Ding family.
But now that I look at it, all the relatives of the Ding family are smiling, and they don't see any signs of making things difficult at all.
This made Chu Feng a lot easier.
At this moment, Ding Xiaowen, who was beside him, suddenly saluted Ding Yixiu: "City Lord." β
Ding Yixiu said with a smile: "Don't call me the city lord, there is no rank today, I'm just here to celebrate." β
City Lord?
The words of the two really startled Chu Feng.
No wonder he felt that the middle-aged man next to his father-in-law was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
Now that I think about it, isn't this the city lord Ding Yixiu? He was often seen on billboards, on the TV news, and even many children in the slums knew him.
A dense cold sweat appeared on Chu Feng's forehead, he only cared about his father-in-law Ding Hai just now, and even ignored the city lord, and immediately bowed down: "I've seen the city lord." β
"It's all said, there is no hierarchy today." Ding Yixiu shook his head with a smile, "Come upstairs, the sun is just right today, it's a good weather." β
As he spoke, he glanced at Su Xia, Ah Feng and the others.
He could clearly feel that these people were not ordinary, and they all had the unique temperament of those killers in the Zero Tavern.
Ding Hai seemed to sense what Ding Yixiu meant, and said to Chu Feng with a smile: "Xiao Chu, which one is your uncle?" I've always wanted to meet. β
"Uncle ......"
Only then did Chu Feng react, and he kept blaming himself in his heart.
He was so nervous that he actually forgot to introduce Su Xia and them, and unconsciously followed his father-in-law to the stairs upstairs.
Su Xia smiled, took a step forward, and said to Ding Hai, "I just talked to Mr. Ding early this morning." β
Ding Hai smiled: "Mr. Su is so young, I was still a little puzzled when I listened to your voice on the phone in the early morning, I didn't expect it, he was really young and promising." β
"It's just luck." Su Xia smiled and said.
He knew that Ding Hai had gotten most of his information in the early hours of the morning and knew what he looked like.
But he didn't debunk it, and the smile on his face was still there.
Ding Hai did the same, tacitly maintaining the existing atmosphere.
The young people on both sides didn't know the specific situation, and they were relieved that the atmosphere should have been so harmonious.
Then, Ding Hai looked at Hu Hanhai and Liu Jinjia beside Su Xia, and asked with a smile: "Are these two also Xiao Chu's relatives?" β
"No, I'm just here to celebrate." Hu Hanhai replied.
"Looks like me." City Lord Ding Yixiu smiled and greeted him like a master's house, "Please go upstairs, there is hot tea upstairs." β
"Okay."
Both parties know the current situation well, and they know each other's identities, but they are both acting, and they are too lazy to debunk it.
After all, today's protagonists are two young people, and they don't need to steal the limelight.
Of course, Ding Yixiu and Ding Hai still had doubts in their hearts - what did these two powerful fifth-level creatures have to do with Chu Feng?
Is it really just to celebrate?
Their high-ranking tavern members shouldn't have anything to do with the low-level workers of the slums like Chu Feng, unless there was an intermediary between them.
Now it seems that this middleman is most likely the mysterious Su Defu.
As for the other two young people, Ah Feng and Liu Tongjia, their status in the tavern is not too high.
Ding Yixiu turned around and glanced at Ding Hai.
But Ding Hai understood what Ding Yixiu meant, but he shook his head slightly, he didn't know Su Xia's origin, he only knew that he had only registered at the Zero Tavern in Seahorse City a few days ago.
"Humβ"
Ding Yixiu's mobile phone suddenly shook, and he received Su Xia information sent to him by Ding Hai.
He took out his phone and just glanced at all the information.
"Tavern newcomer?" His expression remained unchanged, and he thought to himself that a small newcomer would not be able to invite two fifth-level creatures.
This Su Defu, in terms of strength in the tavern, is likely to be about the same as two fifth-level creatures.
Could it be that person?
Ding Yixiu suddenly thought of the mysterious person who destroyed his plan in the mountains and forests in the early hours of this morning.
If it was really that person, everything would make sense, and even Ding Can's behavior of helping Chu Feng would be explained.
β¦β¦
At this time, in the living room on the second floor.
Ding Can was a little bored, sitting by the window, staring at his father's two bodyguards.
"What are you two doing here? That old Wang Ba asked you to spy on me? He asked unceremoniously.
"No, young master." The two immediately explained, "It's not surveillance, it's protection." β
"I need your protection?"
Ding Canle was happy, compared his fists and said, "Why don't you practice now?" I'll give you one hand and see who has the bigger fist. β
The bodyguard helplessly explained: "Little master, calm down, you can't afford to mess with it downstairs, the city lord commands, we must protect your safety." β
"Can't be messed with?"
Ding Can's eyes lit up, is it Chu Feng's uncle?
He was also worried that the master would not come with Chu Feng, after all, he wanted to pull that master into his camp and needed to communicate more.
Soon, the bustle downstairs was getting closer, and footsteps could be heard in the stairwell.
Everyone talked and laughed, walked upstairs slowly, and entered the living room on the second floor in turn, and the atmosphere was as harmonious as a family.
There are all the elders of the government, chambers of commerce, and taverns in Seahorse City, and many of the words seem polite, but in fact they are tentative.
"Everyone, please be seated!" The butler was the busiest, with a few hired servants ready for chairs and tea.
Fortunately, the living room on the second floor of the Ding family is large enough to seat so many people.
By the window, Ding Can's eyes were focused, constantly scanning in the crowd.
"Sure enough, it came."
He saw Su Xia in the crowd at a glance, and Su Xia was communicating with Ding Hai at this time.
It's good to come, Ding Can is a little relieved.
But when his gaze swept over Hu Hanhai and Liu Jinjia, the whole person was suddenly shocked, and his hands unconsciously grasped the armrests of the chair.
It's these two!
No wonder his father sent his personal bodyguards.
Hu Hanhai is fine, but Liu Jinjia is notoriously bad-tempered.
Before, he wiped out several local gangs without saying a word, so that now the rest of the local gangs dare not show their faces, and they are hiding in the dark, like rats that can't see the light, waiting for this turmoil to pass.
Ding Can took a deep breath, didn't show too much, and used a calm face to hide the inner vibration.
He glanced at Su Xia and couldn't help but think, "It's impossible for these two fifth-level creatures to know Chu Feng's poor boy, most of them came with his uncle, so to speak...... His uncle is also a fifth-level creature? β
After that incident in the early hours of the morning, he had been speculating about Su Xia's strength.
It's just that his own strength is not strong enough, and he hasn't reached that level, so he can only judge how powerful the fifth-level creature is through some information.
In the hall, the host and guest sat down in turn, and the tea was fragrant with birds and birds.
Ding Yixiu said to Hu Hanhai with a smile: "There are many good attractions and local characteristics in Haima City, this friend came from afar, don't miss it." β
"Haha, I've tasted some local specialties." Hu Hanhai replied.
The biggest feature of this city is naturally a mix of gangs.
On the night of his arrival in Seahorse City, Hu Hanhai experienced a robbery, but he was not as ruthless as Liu Jinjia, and only verbally educated the gang members, hoping that they would find their way back.
"If necessary, you can raise it at any time, and we, as the host, can never let the guests from afar trouble." Ding Yixiu said again.
"It's okay, just looking for a friend."
Hu Hanhai said it very bluntly, they were just here for the mask monsters, and they were not interested in anything else, so that Ding Yixiu could rest assured.
The two young people next to him listened in a fog, and they always felt that there was something in the words of these elders, but they didn't have time to explore.
Taking advantage of the lively atmosphere now, Ding Xiaowen pulled Chu Feng and began to introduce him to the relatives of the Ding family present.
"This is uncle, the factory you work in is his." Ding Xiaowen's voice was soft.
"Hello uncle."
Chu Feng maintained the smile on his face and greeted him politely.
Speaking of which, this uncle can be regarded as half of the matchmaker between him and Ding Xiaowen.
"This is my second uncle." Ding Xiaowen continued, introducing the man sitting next to his uncle for Chu Feng.
"Second uncle is good."
"This is the ...... of the third uncle"
Ding Xiaowen kept introducing, full of happiness and a sweet smile.
Chu Feng became an orphan at a very young age, and he hardly felt the atmosphere of such a big family, and he was a little cramped at first.
But after a while, as the number of people introduced gradually increased, he gradually relaxed, and he could even chat with some young relatives.
But gradually, Chu Feng had a doubt in his heart.
He leaned into Ding Xiaowen's ear and asked in a low voice, "Xiaowen, where is your uncle?" Is Uncle dead? β
"I ......"
Ding Xiaowen was stunned at first, then pinched Chu Feng's palm hard, gritted his silver teeth, and lightly pointed at his father.
Chu Feng suddenly said: "No wonder, it turns out that the uncle is your father." β
Ding Xiaowen: "......"
The corners of Ding Hai's mouth twitched, and he took a big sip of the teacup, covering his expression with the cup.
After a while, he put down his teacup and let out a long sigh, not knowing what he was sighing about.
"Ugh."
Ding Hai glanced at his wife Ding Qin, and saw his wife covering her mouth and chuckling, her bright eyes were full of encouragement, and her mood was slightly better.
In any case, this son-in-law has already admitted it and can no longer regret it.
At this time, Ding Yixiu suddenly opened his mouth and talked about his son Ding Can.
But he didn't look at Ding Can, as if Ding Can was not here, he just said: "The dog Ding Can has an impatient personality, I am busy with political affairs and neglect to discipline, if he confronts you in the city, please do more than Haihan." β
γ
Everyone agreed, and of course they knew the identity of the young man by the window.
But Ding Can was not happy and said, "What do you mean by 'dog'?" Are you a dog? β
Ding Yixiu's expression was serious: "Young man, pay attention to proportionality when you speak." β
"Humph!"
Ding Can snorted coldly, not giving him face at all.
Everyone present also knew the relationship between the father and son, and they all smiled and said that it was nothing.
The atmosphere is still lively and harmonious, not disturbed by this little episode, but a little more relaxed.
Ding Can didn't like this kind of occasion very much, he only felt that these people were hypocritical, there was another face hidden under every smile, if it weren't for Su Xia here, he really wanted to leave now.
"Forget it, bear with me......"
In order to find a chance to communicate with Su Xia alone, he could only endure it first.
But at this moment, the mobile phone he was carrying suddenly shook.
He took out his mobile phone and saw that it was a message from Su Xia:
[I will leave Seahorse City soon, I will not stay here for long, continue to do what you have to do, I will not interfere]
Seeing this news, Ding Can's heart sank.
This kind of master has always been uncertain, and it is indeed unrealistic to expect him to stay in one place.
Today, he solved the matter of proposing marriage for Chu Feng and returned Su Xia's favor, and the two of them were clear.
In fact, if nothing else, Su Xia could indeed stay for a while longer.
But time was pressing, and an inexplicable sense of crisis was pressing on his heart, which became stronger and stronger.
"Do the last thing and leave."
Su Xia calculated the time in her heart, and felt that it should not be a big problem.
The biggest sense of crisis comes from the hint of the mission [Burying Bones in a Foreign Country] - be careful of the stance device.
However, the area of Seahorse City is quite large, and even if An Luo Company really wants to use the Stance Device to ban the whole city, it may not be perfect, not to mention that those devices have not yet been installed on the top of the city's buildings.
At this moment, Hu Hanhai and Liu Jinjia on the side suddenly glanced at each other, frowned in unison, and took out their mobile phones from their pockets.
"Buzz ......"
Both of their phones vibrated at the same time, most likely an urgent message from the tavern.
Sure enough, the message carried a red emergency sign.
