Chapter 384 Sweet Quarrel
Yang Yan and his men stared at this scene in amazement, unable to speak for a long time.
As the saying goes, the person who knows you best may not be your friend, but may also be your enemy.
The Bifang tribe and the Jidou tribe have been at odds for a long time, and Yang Yan, who holds an important position, knows the strength of Dou Di and his men very well.
That is why he was so unbelievable when he saw the Xiao Gu brothers easily wipe out the members of the Jidou tribe.
Oh, and there is also the white cat.
How could it eat Jidou in one bite?
No matter how inconspicuous Jidou is, it is still one of the ferocious beasts. Even Bifang can't do anything with its skill of swallowing fire.
He really couldn't figure out who this white cat was that could swallow even a ferocious beast.
Yang Yan lay there in a daze until a pair of shoes appeared in front of him.
"Brother Yang, although Huoyun is very soft, it's not good to lie here all the time without moving." Liu Jianan half-jokingly said, extending his hand to Yang Yan.
Yang Yan stood up with the help of Liu Jianan, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Liu Jianan knew that the other party must have a lot of questions to ask, and he had expected this result when he took action.
But he still chose to save people.
On the one hand, he still wanted to get some rewards from Yang Yan. With this layer of life-saving grace, he must have told him everything he knew.
On the other hand, Dou Di was too arrogant.
Arrogant, that would be fine, but he was arrogant in front of him, and the first to attack was that ignorant guy.
So Liu Jianan decided to take action.
"Let's go back to the carriage first. If you have anything to ask, you can talk about it slowly when you get in the carriage." Liu Jianan patted Yang Yan's shoulder and immediately got on the carriage first.
Yang Li came to Yang Yan's side: "Manager Yang, what is going on?"
Yang Jiu said admiringly: "Who on earth is this little brother Gu? As soon as he made a move, the guys from the Fighting Tribe were burned by flames. Even our tribe leader, or even Lord Bifang, can't do this, right?" "
Yang Jiu, be careful with your words." Yang Yan glared at him, "When will you change your outspoken habit?"
Yang Jiu covered his mouth. He was often locked up by the tribe leader for this.
"Go and comfort the others. Everything should be as usual. Just pretend that the people from the Tribulation Tribe have never been here." Yang Yan ordered, "As for Brother Xiao Gu, treat him normally. Don't always look at him with strange eyes, as if he is a monster."
Yang Jiu and Yang Li looked at each other.
Monster? Doesn't Brother Xiao Gu look like a monster?
Yang Yan returned to the carriage with a nervous mood. He looked at Liu Jianan and didn't know how to start for a moment.
Liu Jianan stroked the white tiger in his arms: "Why are you so distant, Brother Yang? Aren't we good brothers?"
Yang Yan smiled bitterly and said, "I'm too high, Mr. Gu. Your strength really opened our eyes."
Liu Jianan sighed. This was why he didn't take action until the last moment.
The purpose of his trip was just to go to the Fire Cloud Zone. It would be better if he could get some benefits from the Bifang tribe, but it didn't matter if he couldn't. He
didn't want to cause trouble.
But after this battle, Yang Yan has realized that his strength is extraordinary. I'm afraid he will no longer treat him as an ordinary businessman who is looking for cooperation.
This is how people interact with each other. When one party is much stronger than the other, the weaker party has more to consider.
Moreover, Yang Yan was a cautious person, and perhaps the other party had already begun to suspect his purpose.
"Brother Yang, I stepped into the Fire Cloud Zone with sincerity. I hope there will be no barriers between us. If you have any concerns, just raise them." Liu Jianan could only try his best to eliminate his suspicion.
Yang Yan pursed his lips and finally spoke: "I know that some of the things I say now may offend you, but as a member of the Bifang tribe, I still have to ask you."
Liu Jianan nodded slightly: "You ask."
Yang Yan: "You came to the Fire Cloud Zone and followed me back to the Bifang tribe. Is it really to promote the sleeve sky fire and the abacus?"
Liu Jianan said without hesitation: "There is a part of the reason, but not all. Please believe me, I am really optimistic about our cooperation and look forward to reaching a deal with you."
Yang Yan thought for a moment. Brother Xiao Gu's answer was exactly what he was worried about. The other party did not hide his ulterior motives, which made him seem restrained.
He did not dare to ask more, for fear that he would ask something he shouldn't know and cause everyone to be buried with him.
But apart from this, Brother Gu's answer was very sincere, and he didn't seem to be hiding anything.
He thought for a moment and asked another question: "Will you harm the interests of the Bifang tribe? Or, will you do anything that will harm the Bifang tribe?"
Liu Jianan said decisively: "No."
Whether it is business behavior or the search for Suzaku, there is no harm to the Bifang tribe.
Even if Suzaku is really replaced by Zhu Ni, after he eliminates Zhu Ni, the spiritual energy occupied by Zhu Ni will return to the Fire Cloud Zone and nourish the Bifang tribe.
Yang Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Liu Jianan say this.
He believed that Brother Xiao Gu would not lie to him. With Brother Xiao Gu's strength, it would be a piece of cake to kill them to silence them.
However, Brother Xiao Gu did not do so, which showed that the other party also cared about the cooperation between the two sides.
Liu Jianan continued: "Brother Yang, I think you should understand that I could have just not gotten involved."
"I know that exposing my strength will inevitably make you jealous."
"But I still chose to save you and your people."
He sighed: "If Brother Yang still has any suspicion of me, I can leave now. I hope that our cooperation will be mutual, rather than mutual reservation."
Yang Yan hurriedly said: "Brother Xiao Gu, I don't mean that! I just think you are too strong and I am not worthy of being with you."
"Does the strong have to be lonely at the top? Who stipulates that the strong don't deserve friends?" Liu Jianan pressed on, "Brother Yang, I think you don't regard me as a brother at all, so you have such thoughts."
Yang Yan kept shaking his head: "It's not like that, Brother Xiao Gu, please listen to my explanation."
Liu Zhen'an gave him a look that said "you said it".
Yang Yan touched his nose and said sincerely: "First of all, on behalf of my people, I would like to thank you. Thank you for lending a hand and saving us from danger."
"If it weren't for you, we would have died just now. You are our savior."
Liu Zhen'an waved his hands: "You saved my own brother, why should I say thank you."
Yang Yan lowered his head in shame. The more frank Brother Xiao Gu was, the more ashamed and angry he became.
"I'm sorry, Brother Xiao Gu, I was just imagining things. I shouldn't have doubted you." He lowered his head and confessed, "I've been a manager since I was seventeen. It's inevitable that I'll have a bit of utilitarianism when dealing with people, so I presumptuously speculated on your kindness."
Liu Jianan forgave him generously, "Just don't make it an example next time."
Yang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but when he thought of his brothers, he started to worry again, "Well, my clansmen may have the same idea as me. If they offend you, please don't blame me."
"Your friends are my friends," Liu Jianan said with a smile, "Since we are all friends, there's nothing to offend or not."
"If anyone has other ideas, just come and fight me."
Liu Jianan's words completely put Yang Yan's mind at ease. He laughed and said, "Yes, yes, those who have opinions should come and fight you! Listen to me, don't show them mercy, beat them until they cry for their parents."
Liu Jianan shook his head and laughed, "Brother Yang, doesn't your conscience hurt?"
"My conscience was eaten by the disaster a long time ago, and now the disaster has been eaten by your white cat, which means that my conscience is in the belly of the white cat." Yang Yan shrugged innocently.
The two of them resumed their previous mode of getting along.
But as to whether there is really no grudge, only the parties involved know. After
Yang Yan finished chatting, he got off the car. Yang Li and the others hurried up and said, "Manager, what's the matter?"
Yang Jiu was also curious and asked, "Brother, did you find out anything?"
Yang Yan coughed twice to clear his throat, and then said loudly, "Everyone, I solemnly declare again that Liu Jianan is my brother who has sworn all his life for me. Whoever dares to disrespect him in the future will slap me in the face! In the future, you must treat him like your own brother, eat meat together, and drink wine together. Do you understand?"
"I understand!"
Liu Jianan listened to the movement outside and leaned comfortably on the carriage.
He certainly knew that these words were somewhat showy, and the other party deliberately let him hear them just to show his goodwill to him.
Liu Jianan had no need to object to things that went with the flow.
Besides, he would not stay in the Bifang tribe for too long. After the deal, he would go to find the whereabouts of Suzaku.
Mu Ling told him that Suzaku lived in the most active place of fire element in the Huoyun zone. It could be a crater or a piece of magma. He needed to look for it carefully.
It was the same as saying nothing.
He asked Mu Ling at that time how could such a big tree not know something.
Mu Ling answered him righteously: "The jungle zone and the Huoyun zone are so far apart. It is normal that I don't know. After you go there, you can ask the auspicious beasts there. Who knows, they may know something."
Because of this, he chose the Bifang tribe as a breakthrough point.
...
At night.
After Liu Jianan showed his extraordinary strength, no one dared to sleep with him. He was happy to occupy a tent by himself.
After summoning Duan Haiping, he used his consciousness to cast a barrier for his tent to reduce the presence of the tent.
Then he shared today's events with Duan Haiping.
Baihu also added fuel to the fire: "Dou Di also said that Liu Jianan was Yang Yan's little lover. I laughed to death. You didn't see Liu Jianan's expression at that time."
Liu Jianan rolled his eyes. Baihu, you are so mean, aren't you? You
are not allowed to eat tomorrow. You will be hungry all day!
Duan Haiping asked in a questioning tone: "Is there anything else?"
But his eyes were fierce, as if he wanted to turn the flute from ashes back into human form, and burn it after a few hundred times.
"This is just a misunderstanding. You know, I only have you in my heart." Oh, so corny.
But it works.
Duan Haiping's complexion improved visibly: "I'm afraid that Yang Yan is not as simple as you say. He is respectful to you on the surface, but you never know what he will say to their chief in private."
Liu Jianan nodded: "He is a very cautious person, and he puts the interests of the tribe above his own interests. So even if he and I have a good personal relationship, he will not favor me in front of the chief, and will definitely tell every detail of our meeting to traveling together."
Duan Haiping's brows added a bit of melancholy: "Do you still have a personal relationship?"
Liu Jianan sighed lightly: "I'm just making an analogy."
"I'm just raising doubts." Duan Haiping said with some annoyance, "Yang Yan is a man of deep thoughts, you shouldn't get too close to him."
Liu Jianan understood the truth, but he just didn't want to listen to Duan Haiping's nagging: "Now you want to interfere with my freedom to make friends?"
"An An," Duan Haiping frowned helplessly, "I don't want to interfere with your making friends, but he..."
"I know what's going on." Liu Jianan waved his hand and ended the topic.
He shared everything in the secret realm with Duan Haiping because he hoped that the other party could understand his situation and fight alongside him.
Instead of questioning his decisions everywhere.
Admittedly, traveling with Yang Yan is not the only way to go to the Huoyun Tribe, but he has already done so, so why repeat that this is wrong and that is not possible?
"I'm an adult, don't treat me like a child." Liu Jianan said unhappily, "You've done what you should do, why are you acting like an elder now? Or do you prefer the feeling of teasing your partner?"
Listening to Liu Jianan's increasingly outrageous words, Duan Haiping couldn't help but hold his forehead, only to feel a dull pain in his temples.
He couldn't scold her, and couldn't hit her...
He turned his face away, and the furrow between his brows became deeper - he didn't know what to do with Liu Jianan.
He was afraid of dropping it if he held it in his hands, and afraid of melting it if he held it in his mouth. He wanted to see him all the time, and was afraid that he would get hurt in a place he couldn't see.
He didn't know how to tell these words, and he was not a person who was very good at telling.
Even though he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, he only said one sentence: "Did I cause you trouble?"
At that moment, Liu Jianan felt as if his heart was pierced.
He was stunned at first, and then suddenly realized.
What on earth is he doing!
Knowing that Duan Haiping has flaws in his character, he still nitpicks with him.
What is he trying to do?
"How could I find you annoying? I just like you chattering in my ear. It's just that I was too excited just now. Don't be angry with me." Liu Jianan stepped forward and gave Duan Haiping a hug. "I just want to tell you that I know what I am doing. I hope you will give me enough trust."
Duan Haiping kissed the boy's cheek: "I have never doubted you."
"I know that I mistook your concern for suspicion. Fortunately, it's not too late."
Liu Jianan stroked Duan Haiping's hair: "It's still early. Stay with me for a while?"
"Yes, sir."
