"I know them more than just. This guy... is Brother Zero? He's one of these people. They tried to capture the people in our community, but then they ran away for some reason. But their purpose is definitely not simple."
Seeing that Ling had returned with the group of people who had tried to break into the homeland, Xuan Qing said with a displeased expression.
“Zero, Xuanqing is just like that, he’s a bit blunt.”
Chen Xin laughed and pulled Xuan Qing over to explain to Ling.
"Sect Master! You treated him like a brother, even sacrificing your life force to divine for him, and yet he's gone and joined forces with this group!"
"Xuanqing! Stop talking!"
Xuanqing was still furious. Even though Chenxin stood in front of him, he couldn't help but huff and puff.
Zero was startled and subconsciously asked:
"What vitality? Chenxin, what have you done?"
Chen Xin smiled indifferently and said casually:
"It's nothing, I just had my fortune told."
He spoke casually, as if nothing was wrong, but Ling had a vague feeling that Chen Xin was hiding something from him, especially the "consuming life force" part, which he glossed over.
However, now is not the time to dwell on this matter. We can always find another opportunity to ask about it properly.
Ling rubbed his forehead, glanced at Xuan Qing who was filled with anger, and then turned to look at the Black Dragon Clan member who wished he could bury his head in the ground. He seemed to understand something.
He walked up to Xuan Qing, who glared at him warily, only to be lightly slapped on the forehead by Xuan Jiu.
"Xuan Jiu, why did you hit me?"
Xuan Jiu didn't answer, but just gestured with his lips towards Zero.
Xuan Qing slightly lowered his gaze, feigning impatience as he said:
"What's up?"
"Do not be rude."
Chen Xin, standing to the side, quickly warned him, fearing that Xuan Qing might anger Ling.
This divination made him more cautious and even slightly respectful towards Zero, in addition to his curiosity about him.
He deduced that Ling was no ordinary person, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why. He only knew that this person was someone he had to befriend and never make an enemy of.
This is one of the reasons why he had previously taken the initiative to stop people from trying to break in at the door.
Previously, although he had considered cooperation and was naturally interested in the potential benefits that Zero might bring, he did not actually intend to open up to Zero.
Now, after that divination, Chen Xin knows that he has encountered a "benefactor" this time, and he can no longer treat him like he would treat his previous allies...
He knew Xuanqing's temperament, but because he was originally a disciple of an old friend, he naturally spoiled him a bit, which indirectly led to his temperament.
Say whatever you want, regardless of the occasion or the person...
Zero shook his head and chuckled softly:
"I'm fine. I just saw that you two know each other, and perhaps there's some misunderstanding? If there is, then let's clear it up."
He looked at Xuan Qing with a half-smile in his eyes:
"What do you think, little brother Xuanqing?"
"Who are you calling little brother?"
Xuan Qing glared angrily at Ling, then turned his gaze to the people behind Ling:
"Didn't I already tell you? They're going to harm the people here. Don't be fooled by their current peaceful appearance; they might be some kind of tigers, leopards, or wolves."
Those behind Zero dared not utter a word.
They were in the wrong first, so they had every right to complain. Besides, it was just a verbal dispute, so they could just let it go.
However, Xuanqing, in the heat of the moment, did not think so.
Seeing that they didn't speak, he chuckled and said:
"Did you see that? They all tacitly agreed! They didn't even dare to raise their heads. What happened to their earlier bravado? Were they forced to back down just to play the innocent lamb in front of him?"
That's really going too far.
The Black Dragon Clan member raised his head and stared directly at Xuan Qing, his eyes filled with anger, but he held back because he was mindful of something.
They remained silent because they knew they were in the wrong. They had indeed made a mistake initially, but there hadn't been any real conflict.
The person in front of us is so sharp-tongued and calculating at such a young age; to an uninformed person, they would sound like they've done something heinous...
If this person weren't possibly a friend of Lord Zero and also a member of the community, they would have really wanted to teach him a lesson and show him why the flowers are so red!
On one side was Xuan Qing's aggressive stance, and on the other side was the Black Dragon Clan's silent response. Zero understood the general situation.
Zero had already guessed the reason from these words. In fact, he didn't even need them to say it; just by observing their expressions, he could tell that the people behind him might have really had a conflict with them.
but……
How could he have the misconception that Xuanqing was bullying a group of grown men?
Those behind him, though clearly angry, remained silent...
It was obvious that she didn't want to argue with Xuan Qing, but Xuan Qing mistakenly thought that her words had rendered them speechless...
This kid...
Zero rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache.
Putting aside the fact that they had already sworn an oath not to endanger anyone's lives again, Xuanqing's personality definitely needed to be "taught a lesson."
With his tendency to say whatever he wants, it's fine on him, but if he encounters someone else, he's bound to suffer a loss.
Thinking of this, Zero instead felt like teasing Xuanqing.
He suddenly brought his face close to Xuanqing's, causing Xuanqing to instinctively step back, her clear, beautiful eyes scrutinizing him:
"What...what are you going to do?"
Xuanqing watched Ling cautiously, afraid that he might suddenly attack her.
Chen Xin, seemingly anticipating something, pulled Xuan Jiu aside and chuckled:
