Wang Qi stood in place with the roster in his hand and watched the back of Xiao Yao and the three of them leaving.

"Brother Xiao, is something wrong?" asked Leng Ye, puzzled.

"No, I feel that the Wang family is not suitable for us. Xiao Yao said lightly.

The three of them walked out of the recruitment office and had no specific goal, so they had to walk blindly to the west.

Their actions were naturally unable to hide from the sight of the other two families, and they were stopped by one of the families not far from the dock, but to Xiao Yao's surprise, there was actually an acquaintance in this group of people.

"Brother Zimang, is it really you?" said a middle-aged man in a black robe in shock.

"Brother Zhou, are you ...... How did you end up in the Heavenly Fire Domain?"

Xiao Yao naturally recognized this person, he was Zhou Shun, the escort of Miss Ling Fei of Qingyan City, but he didn't expect the two to meet here.

"Hey, it's hard to put into words. Zhou Shun's expression was quite helpless, and he continued: "Oh, by the way, didn't you join the Wang family?"

Shaking his head, Xiao Yao smiled and said, "I don't know much about the specific situation when I first arrived here, so I haven't decided which family to join." ”

Zhou Shun didn't ask why Xiao Yao came to the Heavenly Fire Domain, after all, young people are very impulsive and will inevitably get into trouble, but they can't figure out who he has offended, and even the young master of Dongzhou can't protect him.

"If you believe me, join the Wu family, and everyone can take care of each other together. Zhou Shun said.

After hesitating, Xiao Yao glanced at Uncle Huo and Leng Ye, so he readily agreed, it is much more convenient to have an acquaintance by his side who wants to know some things, and it seems that Zhou Shun seems to be the small leader of this group of people, and he can save a lot of trouble with his introduction.

"Good brother, let's go, I'll pick you up and wash the dust when I go back to Wu's house. ”

Seeing that the three of them agreed to join, everyone in the Wu family also showed friendly smiles, and Zhou Shun was even more happy.

Not long after the Wu family left, a group of people in gray robes flashed not far away.

"Damn, what did that guy Zhou Shun do to pull people away so quickly?" a vicious-looking middle-aged man frowned and wondered.

"This guy has been in the limelight lately, and if he continues like this, he will threaten us sooner or later, and he should find an opportunity to kill him secretly. A young man with a slender figure and a face like a crown of jade reminded.

"Don't let me get my chance, or I'll throw him into the sea with all his limbs in tow. The middle-aged man said through gritted teeth.

"Opportunities are created, so leave it to me. The young man smiled.

......

Entering the interior of the Heavenly Fire Domain, Xiao Yao understood what the Earth Emperor was, the buildings on the street alone were a grade higher than Dongzhou, after all, there were no taxes here, and the original inhabitants living here lived a very nourishing life, although violent things often happened, but for them, it had already become commonplace.

"Brother Zhou, how many people can there be in the Heavenly Fire Domain?" Looking at the crowds surging on the street, Xiao Yao asked curiously.

"About 500,000 of them. Zhou Shun replied.

Exhaled, Xiao Yao said in shock: "It's really unimaginable that the three major families can control so many people. ”

Glancing around, Zhou Shun leaned into Xiao Yao's ear and whispered, "Don't you know, most of the Heavenly Fire Domain, except for the three major families, are the original inhabitants, and because they are weak, they never interfere in disputes. ”

With a wry smile, Xiao Yao grinned and said, "I thought there were only these three original residents, but I didn't expect there to be so many ordinary people here." ”

"That's natural, if there really are three families, they will be extinct long ago, and they can't marry the women of the family to rival families or produce and sell their own products. Zhou Shun quipped.

Xiao Yao's face was black, speechless, although the words were a little ugly, but this is a fact, this is really a party of water and soil to nurture a person.

......

Wu family hall.

"The Wu family has a lot of rules, and the three of them are aggrieved and stand here waiting for the head of the family. Zhou Shun said.

"It's all your own people, you don't have to be so polite, since you choose to join the Wu family, some etiquette is naturally indispensable. Xiao Yao smiled.

The dry fire on the side was silent, but he drank wine by himself in the cold night.

After a while, a middle-aged man in high spirits walked in outside the hall, this person had good facial features, and his eyebrows were not angry and arrogant, at first glance, he was the kind of person who was in a high position and pampered, he was the head of the Wu family, Wu Yantian.

"Zhou Shun, I have seen the head of the house. ”

"Hmm. ”

Nodding, Wu Yantian sat in the first place, without a trace of expression on his cheeks.

"Zimang, cold night, dry fire, I have seen the head of the house. The three of them bent down slightly, and said without humility or arrogance.

"I am naturally very happy that the three of you can join the Wu family, as long as you perform well in the future, the Wu family will not treat you badly. Wu Yantian said lightly.

Xiao Yao looked at the head of the family calmly, and said lightly: "I have a request, and I hope the head of the family can grant it." ”

The sword eyebrows were raised slightly, Wu Yantian was slightly surprised, this was the first time he had met a person who had taken refuge to negotiate terms with him in person, he paused, and said in a deep voice: "What do you want me to promise?"

"The three of us don't do anything that violates our principles. Xiao Yao said.

"Principles?" Wu Yantian smiled indifferently and continued: "The three major families are principles in the Heavenly Fire Domain, and all the orders and regulations are also set by us, so how can we say that the principles come from. ”

"I'm referring to personal principles, if we kill innocents indiscriminately, we can't serve the Wu family, this is our bottom line. Xiao Yao said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

His face sank slightly, and he turned his head to look at Zhou Shun, Wu Yantian had a trace of anger between his eyebrows, and said in a deep voice: "Didn't you make the rules clear to them?"

Hearing this, Zhou Shun shuddered, it was originally a good thing, but he wanted to go toe-to-toe with the head of the family as soon as he met Xiao Yao.

"The head of the family is angry, the three of them are subordinate friends, and they are not used to being here when they just came to the Heavenly Fire Domain, please give me a little time to explain it to them slowly. Zhou Shun hurriedly explained.

"You have done a lot of work for the family, I naturally trust you, but you must know that this is the Heavenly Fire Domain where the weak eat the strong, and we will be eaten away if we are not fierce, so I advise you, it is best to put away the so-called bottom line and principles. ”

After speaking, Wu Yantian got up and threw off his sleeves and left, obviously Xiao Yao's actions made him feel quite dissatisfied.

Qianhuo snorted coldly, with a disdainful expression.

"Brother Zimang, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and some things will pass with one eye closed. Zhou Shun persuaded.

Nodding, Xiao Yao wanted to fight for some of his own interests, but he didn't expect the head of the family to reject it directly, it seems that there is no way out to be a thug.

"Just now, things won't affect you, right?" Xiao Yao said with some embarrassment.

Shrugging his shoulders, Zhou Shun said disappreciably: "Don't get in the way, the head of the family still values me very much." ”

"Brother Zhou is really a natural thug material, admire. Xiao Yao smiled.

"Don't make fun of me, do you think it's so easy to be a thug, in addition to being loyal to your master, you have to be ready to put your life on the line at any time. Zhou Shun said helplessly.

"According to what you say, something seems to have happened to the Ling family?" Xiao Yao asked.

"It's not a good thing for a woman to be too beautiful, it will always lead to gratuitous right and wrong. Zhou Shun said with a sad face.

"You mean Ling Fei'er?"

Xiao Yao's heart froze, and for some reason, mentioning her made him inexplicably nervous.

Nodding, Zhou Shun said: "Miss is also a person with a hard life, the head of the Ling family has been seriously ill for many years, and the family business is not what it used to be. ”

Smacking his tongue, Xiao Yao said in shock: "You won't kill that guy, right?" ”

"That day, he came to Qian Zhuang to tease the young lady in every way with the strength of wine, I was angry, broke one of his dog legs, which caused a monstrous disaster, fortunately I knew a few brothers who had died in the rivers and lakes, and it was they who came up with the idea to let me take refuge in the Heavenly Fire Domain, and I had no choice but to come here. Zhou Shun said bitterly.

"If you leave, won't it make Miss Ling Fei'er's situation worse. ”
