Chapter 26: Don't forget your original intention
Zhong Taiyan re-examined the order of the week. "Sure enough, it's your aunt who understands you, and she told me not to mention our deal to you."
"Do you want to hide it from me? That's the end of it. Zhou Xu was a little angry, it seemed that he had to talk to his aunt.
"Unfortunately, even if you refuse to be my apprentice, the deal between us will not end, because the apprenticeship is only part of the deal, not the whole story."
"I've opened this mouth, if you refuse, I'll be considered to have fulfilled my promise, and the transaction will still continue."
Zhong Taiyan said with a smile.
"How can there be such a thing, you are a dignified martial saint, how can you be so foolish?"
Zhou Xu was in a hurry, his eyes flickered, and he immediately thought of it. "Does the content of the transaction also include the matter of my life?"
Zhong Taiyan was slightly surprised, this kid is quite smart, Lu Zhiqiu did focus on this matter.
"That's right, Lu Zhiqiu asked me to block the news and erase the matter of Xiao Zilai's attack in the face of Xiao Zilai's attack this time, and your [Silence] fate made Xiao Zilai's explosion ineffective from the case file."
Zhou Xu was surprised when he heard this, didn't the aunt say that he might have more life?
By the way, it was just his own guess that he could have more life personalities, and since his aunt had already let himself give an explanation for his dual life personalities, there was no need to beg Zhong Taiyan for this matter.
In the eyes of my aunt, is it more harmful for the abnormality of the [Silence] life personality to be transmitted?
Zhou Xu thought about it in her heart, and her aunt really understood his life, and she said that her mouth was super fierce.
"Zhou Xu, your aunt does care about you, but she is an adult, you don't think that all the decisions she makes are for you, right? This time, we're both a deal and a partnership. Zhong Taiyan said seriously.
"Cooperation?"
"The news will spread soon, and as a life master, you should know about it. The fall of Marina City is imminent, and now all the Commanders must work together, not only for you, but also for the protection of the city. ”
"The fall of Marina City? How is it possible? ”
"I can't tell you the specifics, but it's true. Your aunt wants you to be on your own as soon as possible, so she wants me to be your teacher. But she didn't want the aura of the martial saint's personal disciple to cause you to attract too much attention, so she asked for the matter of accepting the disciple to be carried out in secret. ”
"She really cares about you, what kind intentions should be accepted, when you shouldn't lose your temper, you are an adult, you should also understand these truths."
"If I say so much, and you still don't want to be my apprentice, then so be it, my disciple, it's not so easy to be."
After Zhong Taiyan finished speaking, he got up and prepared to leave the ward.
Zhou Xu's face was cloudy for a while, and he believed what Wu Sheng said that his aunt was indeed this kind of character.
Is the fall of Marina City imminent?
Zhou Xu clenched his fists and stopped Zhong Taiyan.
"I'm sorry, I'm willing to be your disciple!"
Zhong Taiyan, who had already turned around, showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, turned his head and said, "Zhou Xu, listen well, I just said that Lu Zhiqiu's request is only part of the reason for accepting you as an apprentice." ”
"I've been teaching your class for a month, and I know very well your comprehension in cultivation. Your Silence personality looks almost useless, and that reminds me of when I was younger. ”
"In the license exam, I have also heard of the courage and will you showed in the face of Xiao Zilai."
"Understanding, courage, will, and especially the heart that protects others, all meet my requirements for accepting disciples!"
"I have taught many people in my life, but you are the only official disciple. I'm going to teach you everything, but you have to remember that no matter how far you go in the future, don't forget your original intention! ”
Zhong Taiyan's words were deafening, and he left the ward after speaking.
"After being discharged from the hospital, I returned to the academy and came to me every night for special training, so I didn't give you time to be lazy."
The last sentence floated over, and Zhou Xu's eyes were firm, just what he wanted!
Early the next morning, Zhou Xu, who felt much better, was visualizing and cultivating in the ward.
For some reason, he always felt like there was someone outside the ward, but when he got up and opened the door, he didn't see anyone.
After repeating this a few times, he didn't care anymore, maybe it was a family member in another ward.
"Hey, Hu Xinxin, why did you stay at the door and not go in?"
At about 10 o'clock, a familiar voice sounded.
"The ......"
Before he could answer, he saw Shen Zhu from the Department of Strange Affairs pulling Hu Xinxin into the ward, and Hu Xinxin's face was flushed.
Zhou Xu opened his eyes and finished his meditation. "Sister Zhu, classmate Hu, why are you here?"
He thought in his heart, it wouldn't be Hu Xinxin who stood at the door and peeked before, right?
But why didn't she come in?
Listening to Gao Hongzhen, Hu Xinxin came very often when he was injured and unconscious, but after he woke up, he didn't see it once.
This girl is so weird.
"Today, I'm here to give you the prize money on behalf of the Department of Foreign Affairs."
Shen Zhu approached and looked at Zhou Xu with a look of surprise. "That Xiao Zilai is notorious, I didn't expect to die at the hands of a rookie life master in the end, tell me, how did you do it? I've heard that you're a double life personality, why didn't you find out when you were grading it before? ”
Zhou Xu was a little weak-hearted, but quickly organized the language. "I didn't expect the double life personality thing, it was unintentionally awakened during the battle. As for Na Xiao Zilai, in fact, it was the lark who seriously injured him first, so I picked up a bargain, and the rumors outside couldn't be taken seriously. ”
"It makes sense."
Shen Zhu didn't care much, took out a blue bank card and handed it to Zhou Xu. "I said, I'm here to give a bonus, this is a bonus decided after discussion above, and distributed to a few of you, to praise you for your courage in killing the three members of Xiao Zilai's gang."
Zhou Xu took the bank card in surprise, "How much is it?" ”
"Three million, your word."
Shen Zhu said and found another card and handed it to Hu Xinxin.
It happened to be both there, saving her an extra trip.
"So much?"
Zhou Xu was stunned, he was so big and the most money in his pocket didn't exceed 1,000 yuan!
"The bounty for C-level wanted criminals is already high, and in fact a large part of the bounty has been withheld, otherwise it would have been more, taking into account the placement of the casualties and their families."
Shen Zhu said that arresting the criminal master is also one of the responsibilities of the Alien Affairs Division, and the bounty was also released through them, because she and Zhou Xu knew each other, and they were sent to distribute the reward this time.
In order to prevent several people from complaining that the bonus is not the same as the bounty, it must be explained.
When Zhou Xu heard about the placement of the casualties and their families, his eyes darkened, and he returned the bank card to Shen Zhu.
"Leave all this money to the casualties and their families, I am not short of money."
Hu Xinxin finally ended his blushing state, and hurriedly said: "Me too, take the card back." ”
Shen Zhu looked at the serious appearance of the two and shook his head. "You two just accept it, it is the principle that merit must be rewarded, don't embarrass me. If you really want to help others, there will be more opportunities in the future, and no matter how selfless you are, you have to solve your own food and clothing problems first, right? The cultivation of the life master is much more expensive than you think. ”
Zhou Xu and the others couldn't resist Shen Zhu, so they could only accept the bank card.
"Sister Zhu, can you please do me a favor?" Zhou Xu remembered one thing.
"Tell me what's going on."
Zhou Xu mentioned the little boy he saved in the trial town, and when he was in danger, he handed him over to the young soldier, and he didn't know what the situation was now, he had been a little worried.
"I have an impression of this, don't worry, you don't have to worry about it, the lark has already helped them."
Shen Zhu said in detail, it turned out that the little boy's mother did not die in the chaos, and now she is in the hospital, and the little boy has also been found, and now he is by his mother's side.
Because they were not life masters and were admitted to ordinary hospitals, Zhou Xu didn't know about it.
Zhou Xu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he was still alive and his mother was there, so good!
"Sister Zhu, can I ask you for help again, find them a place to live in the city, and I will be responsible for the money."
Zhou Xu said again, it's too pitiful for such a young child to live in a place like a tattered village, Zhou Xu knows that he can't save everyone, but since he has met it, he wants to do his best.
"The lark has already helped them find low-rent housing in the city, and has paid the rent for fifteen years in one go, so you don't have to worry about that." Shen Zhu said.
Zhou Xu was surprised, he didn't expect the lark to look cold and so meticulous.
He was relieved all of a sudden, and after he was discharged from the hospital, he secretly went to the hospital that Sister Zhu said to have a look, and he settled a matter.
"At this juncture, moving into the city may not be a good thing, you have to think more about yourself."
Shen Zhu sighed, early this morning, the entire Strange Affairs Division was fried, and everyone was discussing the impending disaster.
After the supreme meeting presided over by the Martial Saint yesterday, the well-informed life master knew the general situation, one spread ten, ten spread hundreds, everyone was in danger, and felt that the wind was tightened on their heads.
"Sister Zhu, I heard that there will be a catastrophe in Binhai City, what is going on?"
Zhou Xu couldn't help but inquire, Wu Sheng only said a few words, Shen Zhu, as an employee of the Department of Foreign Affairs, should have a lot of information.
"Here's the general situation."
Shen Zhu said it briefly, and after Zhou Xu and Hu Xinxin listened, their hearts tensed up suddenly.
Danger from the sea?
The number of dangerous species from the ocean, the breadth of the area, and the complexity of the species, often far exceed those on land.
After all, the entire Blue Star Ocean accounts for 71% of the area, and no one can say exactly how many terrifying mutant species are hidden in the deep sea.
Like the eight-armed demon thief of the A-class dangerous species that appeared off the coast of Binhai City last time, if it wasn't discovered and killed by the Martial Saint in time, I don't know how much loss it would bring to Binhai City.
It's just that the eight-armed demon thief is so dangerous, and this time, it will be a large-scale beast tide, and it is not clear how many dangerous species of A-level and above will emerge......
