It stands to reason that Gu Rong is a candidate for the next head of the regiment, and if there is an accident among the head of the regiment, Gu Rong will benefit the most.

If it is replaced by some other people with bad intentions, they may wish that the head of the regiment would die as soon as possible.

However, Gu Rong is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, and the head of the regiment picked him up and returned him to the mercenary group when he was a child, not only to save him from starvation and cold, but also to teach him to learn martial arts and characters, and even gave him the identity of the young master of the Flame Tooth Mercenary Group.

Although Gu Rong didn't say it, he kept these blessings in his heart.

A kind person meets a person who knows how to be grateful, this is probably the most beautiful appearance in the world.

On the other side, inside the inn room.

A cushion was placed on the table, and three small beasts were nested inside.

One of them was in a coma, the top of his head delicately bandaged with a white bandage, blending with the beautiful snow-white hair.

Next to the little white beast was a pitch-black cat, which was also sleeping at this time.

The only one awake was a purple civet, nested at the edge of the cushion, with a pair of big round eyes open, curiously looking at the black cat not far away.

When the purple fox was sent to the house from the auction, it was placed in the corner, and Wu Mo's intentional shielding was added, so although he was in the house at the time, he didn't hear the communication between Wu Mo and Xue Bao.

Therefore, in its eyes, Xue Bao is just an ordinary pet cat, at most only a little spiritual.

Even now, no matter how it observed, it didn't see anything abnormal about the black cat in front of it that had swallowed its demon pill.

Just as the purple fox was about to look away and rest, a faint fluctuation suddenly appeared on the black cat.

Immediately afterwards, the fur on the black cat's body seemed to become jet black and shiny, and the color was more shiny than before.

This change was short-lived and small, and if it weren't for the civet's constant staring, it might not have been noticed.

Just when the purple fox was startled by this scene, the black cat, which had been asleep, suddenly opened its eyes!

The deep dark eyes are just staring at the purple civet!

The purple fox was so excited that it was almost frightened and screamed.

At that moment, there was a movement at the door.

"Squeak-"

A small figure came in.

Xue Bao glanced at the stunned purple civet, and then moved his gaze to the door.

Come...... It's Zou Zichen!

"Xue Bao, are you resting?" Seeing the black cat looking at him, the boy smiled and said hello.

He has always been like this, even if Xue Bao has never been too human in front of him, he always takes the trouble to communicate with it, as if Xue Bao can understand.

Although, Xue Bao can indeed understand.

As always, there was no response, and Zou Zichen didn't speak again, and walked to the table.

Sweeping the purple civet on the side, Zou Zichen finally set his eyes on the little white beast next to Xue Bao.

Wen Ze was in a coma at this time, his small body curled up in a ball, and there was a sense of vulnerability all over his body.

Zou Zichen was like that, staring at it motionlessly.

Xue Bao initially thought that Zou Zichen would do something, after all, he chose to come in when Wu Mo was away, but after a long time, he just looked at Wen Ze quietly.

Xue Bao felt that Zou Zichen seemed to be a little different from before.

Zou Zichen always has a bright smile on his face, giving people a childish innocence, which makes people love and want to be close to him for the first time.

However, at this time, he put away his smile and looked at the white beast with a blank face in contemplation, but it gave Xue Bao an unprecedented sense of oppression.
