In the hall of the Yunlai Inn, as soon as Xingchen appeared, he was pulled into a private room by the Yang City Lord.

"Lord Castle, why did you suddenly come looking for the boy?" Xingchen asked directly. When City Lord Yang came to him in person, there must be something important, so why did he bother to say more polite things, so he directly picked it out.

City Lord Yang paused and said, "You have heard the rumors outside!"

Xingchen was a little puzzled, "What kind of rumors, the kid has come to the inn these days and hasn't gone out." Please also ask the lord of the castle for advice. ”

"It is rumored outside that it is because of you that the Xu family will sweep away the scarce spiritual materials and then sell them at a high price. Now, those little clansmen, they must have transferred their anger to you. City Lord Yang explained.

When Xingchen heard this, he was a little happy, but also a little unhappy, glad that it was because he had purchased the missing spiritual materials in advance. The reason for his unhappiness was that he didn't know when he had offended the Xu family, and the only family he had offended in the Nine Heavens Alliance was the Li family. Could it be that the Li family and the Xu family have anything to do with each other?

"I see, thank you Lord for telling me. Xingchen bowed with his hands.

"It's nothing? Haisheng, Yang came here for another purpose. There was some embarrassment in Yang City Lord's face.

Xingchen smiled, "City Lord, if you have something to say, just say it!"

Only then did City Lord Yang speak: "For the sake of Chengtian Island, Yang hopes that you will withdraw from the team of Chengtian Island by yourself." ”

Xingchen sighed, "Since the city lord has decided, the kid should obey it. ”

City Lord Yang was a little puzzled, and said, "Isn't it true that you don't blame Yang?"

Xingchen shook his head, "The kid is used to staying in a small fishing village, and he is not used to moving in large troops. It's just that the seventh elder of the Li family and his granddaughter have nothing to do with this matter, and they ask the city lord to shelter them. ”

City Lord Yang looked at Xingchen, he didn't expect that the other party was a person who understood etiquette and valued affection. The apology in his heart was even stronger, he was already guilty because he couldn't shelter the people on this island, and now that the other party is so affectionate and has to protect others, he feels even more guilty.

"Haisheng, Yang has a magic weapon for self-defense here, and he will give it to your sister. At the critical moment, it can protect your sister for a while, take it! As for the seven elders of the Li family and Lan Lan, I will protect them, but whether they can go to the end or not is not up to Yang. But with Yang's orders, others will not embarrass them. As he spoke, City Lord Yang had already placed a crystal necklace on the table, turned around, and turned his back to the stars.

Xingchen was not pretentious, put away the crystal necklace, and said goodbye: "Thank you Lord of the City, if Haisheng has the opportunity, he will definitely repay the Lord of the City Lord for his kindness today." ”

After speaking, he had already left the private room, walked out of the Yunlai Inn, came to a hidden alley, put on the mask of a hermit, and disappeared.

The stars ran stealthily through a few streets before they revealed. At this time, he changed into another set of clothes, activating another function of the hermit's mask, and the aura on his body changed. Even those who knew him could not recognize him. After all, there are many people with his shape. There are all kinds of strange cultivators, and most of them are people who wear masks and black cloaks. There is one more star, and no one cares, let alone doubts.

As he approached the Mercenary Guild, Xingchen turned and headed for the back door.

Arriving at the back door, Xingchen looked at the blue spar next to the door and pressed his hand on it. Five fingers, according to a certain frequency, input spiritual power into it. This was taught to him by Ji Zhenzhen, for the convenience of Xingchen. If Xingchen has a private matter, she can find her through the back door, after all, no one wants to let what happened last time happen.

With the operation of the stars, the blue spar cultivation lit up, and the internal detection ban was activated, recording the image of the stars in it, and transmitting it to the central formation of the mercenary guild.

After doing all this, Xingchen lowered his hand and waited there.

After a while, the back door was opened, and it was Ji Zhenzhen who opened the door. This time, instead of taking Xingchen to the VIP room, she went to another place.

Xingchen looked at the furnishings in the room in front of him, and had a guess in his heart, so he said, "Sister Zhenzhen, this is your boudoir?"

Ji Zhenzhen sat on a chair casually and said with a smile: "What's the matter, Xingchen, my sister hasn't said anything yet! ”

Xingchen suddenly rolled his eyes and called him to come, just to bring him here, and then tease him?

Seeing that Xingchen gave her white eyes, Ji Zhenzhen suddenly said angrily: "I actually gave my sister white eyes, I knew that you were like this, so I wouldn't let you come." ”

Xingchen immediately apologized, "The little brother knows his mistakes, but he doesn't know Sister Zhenzhen's kindness." Did Sister Zhen Zhen call me here for the sake of rumors?"

Ji Zhenzhen suddenly lost interest, "You know, that's fine." What are you going to do next?"

Xingchen also sat down, and then said: "You can only be careful, even if you go out to clarify, that group of people probably won't listen, and there must always be a place to vent their anger." It's just that I don't know, why did the Xu family target me? After all, there are not many people I have offended, and they are just members of the Li family. ”

Ji Zhenzhen smiled, and then took out a message jade slip, "This is the information I have gathered, you can take a look." After speaking, he handed the jade slip to Xingchen.

Xingchen took the jade slip, and his consciousness probed into it, and he knew the reason. It turned out that everything was because of Li Wen, the person of the Li family who was deposed by the Mercenary Guild.

The Li family is the power of Chengtian Island, but as a member of the Nine Heavens Alliance, they must be attached to the two top families, either the Xu family or the martial family. This Li family is dependent on the Xu family, and Li Wen is the link between the two families. She is the fiancée of the second young master of the Xu family.

In addition, the person who swept the goods this time was Qin Shao, the son of the Qin City Lord of Xiantian City, who had a close personal relationship with the second young master of the Xu family. The two seemed to have reached an agreement, the second young master of the Xu family used the shop in his hand to sell those scarce spiritual materials at a high price, while Qin Shao was responsible for spreading rumors.

Xingchen looked at the information in the jade slip, and didn't say anything for a long time, he was also shot while lying down, and took the blame for Ji Zhenzhen. He just wanted to say something, but suddenly it occurred to him that Ji Zhenzhen was really thinking about him, and he had to say whatever he shouldn't think, and he had also offended the Li family.

Now that he knows what's going on, it's not his character to sit back and wait. The Xu family, the second young master of the Xu family......

Suddenly, he thought of his childhood friend, Han Feng, although he was the son of the city lord, he was not also excluded by his eldest brother Han Belly, it seemed that there would be a fight within the big family, but I don't know if the Xu family is also like this?

With a plan in mind, Xingchen's eyebrows stretched a lot. Seeing this, Ji Zhenzhen said, "Xingchen, looking at your appearance, do you have a way to deal with it?"

Xingchen smiled: "Sister Zhenzhen, how do you know? Are you a roundworm in my stomach?"

Ji Zhenzhen stretched out her hand and twisted Xingchen's ears, "You are roundworms, your whole family is roundworms, stinky boy, do you have such a talk to your sister?"

Xingchen hurriedly begged for mercy, "Sister Zhenzhen, I was wrong. ”

Ji Zhenzhen put down her hand at this time, "Then don't say it quickly." What do you want to do?"

Xingchen had to answer obediently: "I want to meet the eldest young master of the Xu family, but I don't know, how can I meet him?"

Ji Zhenzhen naturally knew the meaning of the stars. This favor must be helped, after all, Xingchen offended Li Wen because of her, "This is simple, the eldest young master of the Xu family issued a mercenary mission the day before yesterday, to organize a team of mercenaries to go to the deep sea to find something, it is estimated that it is also for the trial." The day after tomorrow, I can arrange for you to join this team. ”

Xingchen immediately thanked: "Thank you, Sister Zhenzhen, for your success." After speaking, he made a playful grimace, which made Ji Zhenzhen laugh, without the slightest trace of the ability and majesty of being the chief deacon.

Looking at the stars in front of her, Ji Zhenzhen thought of her sister, remembering that when she was a child, she frolicked with her sister like this. Her sister was also very smart, and she always came up with some good ideas when things happened. Moreover, the concentration of bloodlines is extremely high, and the cultivation talent is outstanding, which is an important cultivation object for the family. I haven't seen her for three years, I don't know how she is?

Just as she was thinking about it, a wicked thought suddenly appeared in her mind, her sister and Xingchen seemed to be a natural pair, although her sister was a few years older, but the cultivator didn't care about age at all. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but want to mention her sister, but the words came to her mouth and swallowed back, forget it, even if her sister appeared, it would be impossible to be with Xingchen, and each family member who focused on cultivating had his own mission. This mission made them unable to help themselves. Just like Ji Zhenzhen herself, she is also fulfilling her mission.

So Ji Zhenzhen didn't mention her sister to Xingchen, that idea was just wishful thinking on her part.
