Luo Xiu had already repeated the conversation he had just had with Ning Fan verbatim.
Almost word for word.
After listening to this, Huizi and Gao Kexin fell into deep thought.
"I don't know if I'm overthinking it, so if you have any ideas, please tell me."
Luo Xiu frowned.
He just felt something was wrong.
In fact, Ning Fan didn't say anything special.
But based on Luo Xiu's understanding of Ning Fan, it seemed that these words were not like the state he would normally express.
At the same time, he was worried that his nerves might be a little tense.
"I think there's no problem..."
Huizi frowned and thought for a while: "Isn't it just a casual chat?"
"There's a problem."
Gao Kexin slowly raised her head: "That doesn't sound like something Ning Fan would say."
Luo Xiu's eyes lit up and he immediately looked at Gao Kexin.
If Gao Kexin also thinks so, then it proves that what he thinks is almost right.
Soon, Gao Kexin expressed the same idea as Luo Xiu.
That is, it is impossible for Ning Fan to take the initiative to ask Luo Xiu to assign work to Huizi.
Although Huizi has not explicitly stated that he does not want to be involved in these core affairs, judging from his current living conditions, he enjoys this kind of life with his wife and children.
In Ning Fan's heart, Huizi's position is irreplaceable. Huizi is happy, and he is happier than anyone else.
How could I force Huizi to do something he is not good at?
"That's one aspect."
Gao Kexin's brows furrowed further and further. "Actually, from the first sentence on, Ning Fan seemed to be deliberately steering the conversation towards that old Sword God."
Ning Fan said that after he left, Luo Xiu and the others talked a lot...
It sounds like a casual sentence, but it gives people a feeling.
He wanted Luo Xiu to ask, why did you leave so suddenly?
Ning Fan left in a hurry that day. Everyone was clearly in a meeting, but he left suddenly. No one could help but be curious.
So when Ning Fan said this, no matter who it was, they would habitually ask the same question.
Luo Xiu could also sense that Ning Fan's way of speaking, which was a bit like showing off, was meant to encourage him to ask further questions.
And if that were true, based on Ning Fan's personality and his relationship with Luo Xiu, he should have directly told them about the old Sword God.
The reason for the hint was that Luo Xiu's immediate reaction was: someone is eavesdropping.
But he quickly denied this speculation.
This is Jinfeng City.
It is equivalent to the wild city below.
This is your own home, and someone is eavesdropping. What are you waiting for if you don't arrest them?
What's more, since you already know that talking is unsafe, wouldn't it be better to change the place?
Why do you have to do this?
"Huizi."
Gao Kexin turned to look at Huizi: "What do you think Ning Fan's attitude was towards being called the Sword God when he first went to the Blood Show?"
"That must feel like my face is gone!"
Huizi answered very quickly: "I called him at the time and called him the Sword God. He almost fought with me to death!"
"So, it's impossible for him to bring up this topic on his own initiative."
Luo Xiu continued, "He could have just said it was that old man from Wujian Mountain. He could have completely avoided the term 'Sword God'."
Luo Xiu pointed to his chest and said, "I'm the administrator of the Blood Show. He knows that as long as he mentions the Sword God, I will definitely think of what happened back then."
"No, what you're saying is... too far-fetched, isn't it?"
Huizi gave a wry laugh: "Maybe Ning Fan thought about what happened back then and found it quite amusing, so he just made a joke."
"Okay, even if what we said before was just overthinking it."
Luo Xiu did not get upset at being questioned. Instead, he said more seriously, "He said that there are also gaps between the Eight Desolations."
"Eight Wastelands versus Eight Wastelands, I don't believe Brother Fan can defeat the opponent unscathed! Even in our eyes, Brother Fan is indeed very strong."
"Also, he promised the old Sword God that he would go to Wujian Mountain again in a few days."
"Brother Hui, think about it carefully. When did sparring become a best-of-three match?"
"If they can decide the winner this time, do we need to make another appointment in a few days?"
"On the other hand, if there's no winner, it doesn't look like Brother Fan has fought to his limit!"
"So, can I suspect that some circumstances caused them not to take action this time? That's why they agreed to fight again next time?"
Huizi blinked frantically.
Every time he blinked, he felt a pain in his head.
In his opinion, there was nothing wrong with every word Ning Fan said to Luo Xiu.
Why could Luo Xiu sense that Ning Fan had something else in mind?
Huizi thought he was the person who knew Ning Fan best, but if the person in the office just now was him...
To be honest, he definitely can't see anything.
"Whether we over-interpret it or think too much about it, it's always better to be cautious."
Luo Xiu saw Huizi's thoughts and continued, "Let's assume that Brother Fan is having trouble speaking. Then the biggest question before us is... who is he guarding against? Or to be more blunt, who has the ability to put Brother Fan in such a passive position?"
After saying this, the three of them fell silent.
This is almost an unanswered question.
There was no movement from Diancheng, so it was impossible that they had taken action.
Besides, even if Diancheng really launched an attack, Ning Fan shouldn't have this attitude.
Luo Xiu even considered whether Ning Fan had discovered who was monitoring him but pretended not to notice, in order to pass on false information to Diancheng?
But if you think about it carefully, although it is not impossible, it is too early to do so now.
This doesn't make any sense.
"I do have an idea."
After a long silence, Gao Kexin suddenly looked at Luo Xiu: "You said, according to your guess, Ning Fan asked you to come to Huizi, actually to hint that you come to me, right?"
Luo Xiu nodded: "I think so."
"Then I think that when he asked you to come to me, he didn't necessarily want you to discuss it with me."
Gao Kexin's expression became increasingly serious: "Or rather, this is not the only purpose, nor the most important purpose."
Luo Xiu was stunned.
Gao Kexin didn't wait for the two to react before she spoke word by word, "My spirit servant, have you forgotten?"
Earth puppet!
Her spirit servant is a puppeteer!
As soon as these words came out, Luo Xiu's thoughts immediately followed.
"Is Brother Fan implying that... he is a puppet now?"
Luo Xiu thought of an answer that could solve all the questions in his mind.
Ning Fan was indeed being monitored.
But not an outsider.
But it exists within.
The reason why he was not threatened was because someone interrupted the competition.
"Li Tiandao may have woken up."
Gao Kexin gave the answer.
