Chapter 22‖Banxia

’s novel is exclusively published‖

*

Bu Zao is a considerate player, except when he feels that there is no need to add that little bit of drama.

In his plan, Wu Du, the second junior brother, knew that the owner of Wanwu Tower was his eldest senior brother who had betrayed his master, and he also knew that his eldest senior brother didn’t want to see him that much.

So Wu Du didn’t ask Li Yuhan and the others in depth, but pretended to be thinking to show that he cared about Wanwu Tower.

This also saved him the effort of listening to what Li Yuhan and Liu Wumei had to say to him, saving time and effort, and everyone was happy.

But for Wu Du, it was a rare opportunity to meet his eldest senior brother who had betrayed his master, and he certainly wouldn’t miss this opportunity.

So not long after Li Yuhan and Liu Wumei left, Wu Du went out.

The two employers were the only connection points, and it made sense to follow them.

Bu Zao only needed to show up in front of some key game characters, and he didn't need to rush like a gust of wind, so he walked leisurely on the street.

There was another killer in Songjiang Prefecture, Zhongyuan Yidianhong.

He was robbed of his head by Wudu before, but failed to kill Wudu, and was severely reprimanded by the black-clothed leader, so he followed Wudu's whereabouts and came to Songjiang Prefecture.

Wudu was arrogant and didn't look like a killer. Whenever he killed someone, he would emphasize that he was paid to do the job. Even though he hadn't killed anyone in Songjiang Prefecture recently, Zhongyuan Yidianhong still guessed his whereabouts based on the experience of his peers.

But Songjiang Prefecture was so big that Zhongyuan Yidianhong didn't know where Wudu was for a while, and he was at a loss as he drew his sword.

Bu Zao passed by Zhongyuan Yidianhong when he was at a loss.

Glancing at the sword-wielding youth beside him, Bu Zao thought, wow, I came just in time.

I wonder how Boss Xue would feel when he saw his top killer appear at his eldest brother's birthday party.

Bu Zao had a pleasant idea.

Zhongyuan Yidianhong sat in a small restaurant drinking a bowl of mutton soup.

The mutton soup was extremely delicious and misty. He picked up the spoon and took a sip, still thinking about Wudu's whereabouts.

Wudu. He didn't know the name of the round-eyed child back then. After the other party escaped, Zhongyuan Yidianhong thought he was dead.

A child in his teens fell off a cliff in the forest and the probability of survival was very low. Even if he survived, he would be seriously injured, and there were wolves living in the forest, so he would eventually die.

Zhongyuan Yidianhong never thought that he was still alive. He never thought that the other party would become a killer after escaping many years later.

What is the difference between a voluntary killer and an involuntary killer?

Just as Zhongyuan Yidianhong was thinking about the nature of his profession, a man sat down opposite him. He frowned slightly and looked at the other party with a little displeasure.

Then he widened his eyes slightly, with a hint of surprise in his expression.

The person who came was the person Zhongyuan Yidianhong was thinking about, Wudu.

Wudu was still wearing a mask, and the round eyes exposed outside overlapped with the child in his memory. His eyes were very distinctive, black and bright, and his eyes were calm.

"Nice to meet you again." Wudu greeted him, his voice muffled by the mask, "If I'm not mistaken, you're looking for me. What a coincidence."

Zhongyuan Yidianhong put down the spoon and looked at him directly, "I was indeed looking for you."

"I thought you had the answer after our last separation." Wudu said, "Or, that person wants you to kill me."

Zhongyuan Yidianhong knew exactly who "that person" was.

The master who taught him swordsmanship, the leader of the killer organization, the leader also asked Yidianhong to kill Wudu seven years ago.

That was a long time ago, and Zhongyuan Yidianhong's memory was a little fuzzy, but some things were very clear.

He was ordered to demonstrate swordsmanship and killing skills in front of those orphans who were trained to be killers. Wudu was an orphan brought by the leader himself when he was demonstrating swordsmanship. He was ragged and covered in mud.

At that time, Wudu was thin and short, with dark eyes. He watched him kill people silently. Compared with other children, he had a completely different calmness.

The leader was very satisfied with Wudu's calmness. Killers don't need emotions, but Wudu's obedience was just an appearance. When the leader was not paying attention, he quietly slipped out and wanted to escape.

The leader discovered his escape and caught up with Wudu at the edge of the forest with Zhongyuan Yidianhong.

——Kill him. The leader ordered Yidianhong like this.

Wudu was very well-behaved at that time. Zhongyuan Yidianhong vaguely remembered that he had a good relationship with him. Compared with other children and killers, they used to live together in silence. No one spoke, just stayed quietly, watching the clouds roll in the sky and the leaves sway in the wind.

But the leader's order was heavier than the mountain. Zhongyuan Yidianhong picked up his sword and aimed it at the round-eyed child who was looking at him calmly.

"That person said that there is a beginning and an end." Zhongyuan Yidianhong said lightly, "I couldn't kill you at the beginning... Now, I have to kill you." Wudu shouldn't have appeared in front of him. Zhongyuan Yidianhong was a little sad, but the expression on his face was still cold and hard, full of murderous intent.

No one would doubt his murderous intentions. The restaurant owner quietly hid behind the counter and dared not speak.

Bu Zao pretended to think seriously. Zhongyuan Yidianhong looked cold and ruthless, but in fact he was loyal and principled.

He could see that Yidianhong didn't really want to kill him, but that was the rule of the assassin organization, and Zhongyuan Yidianhong hadn't yet gone against Xue Xiaoren's intentions.

"To be honest, I don't want to fight you." Wu Du said, "You don't have to rush to kill me. Let's talk about this after I finish the business at hand, okay?"

He seriously asked Zhongyuan Yidianhong for his opinion.

Zhongyuan Yidianhong fell silent for a moment. This was not the atmosphere for discussing things between them, but he opened his mouth and said, "Okay."

Wudu showed a satisfied look. He stood up and said goodbye to Yidianhong: "Goodbye, I'll go first."

Yidianhong stared at his back in silence. After a moment, he put down the spoon and followed him.

He followed Bu Zao not too far away.

Bu Zao was very satisfied with this development, but he had no intention of turning back to continue talking to Yidianhong. Although Wudu's personality was very friendly, he was not a chatterbox and would not develop unnecessary relationships.

Yidianhong and Wudu's origins seven years ago were only a month, which was not as good as the friendship between brothers from the same school.

To the pseudonym Wudu, Yidianhong is just a slightly special character in the martial arts world. I believe that to Yidianhong, Wudu has almost the same positioning.

Bu Zao accurately controls the distance between them and the game characters according to the pseudonym's personality setting, otherwise the pseudonym would have no need to exist. The leader himself simply went all out, punching every little disciple one by one and making all the people in the martial arts world come to serve as his disciples.

*

Xuejiazhuang is located halfway up the mountain, hidden behind the emerald forest, and its outline is looming. At

the foot of the mountain, the traffic is like a dragon, and it is very lively. They are all people who come to celebrate Xue Yiren's birthday.

But Bu Zao did not go there to celebrate his birthday.

Zhongyuan Yidianhong watched Wudu blend into the bustling crowd with indifference, like a fish entering the sea, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

He wondered who Wudu was going to kill. Was it someone

from Xuejia Manor, or a guest who came to celebrate his birthday?

Because Bu Zao had been vague about what he said, and Wudu had previously been doing the business of killing people for money, Yidianhong had a preconceived idea that the business Wudu was talking about was killing people, or that he was going to kill people in Xuejia Manor.

Yidianhong frowned.

Xue Yiren's name was known to everyone, and it was his birthday, so there were many people coming to visit. How could Wudu dare to take this business?

The world's number one killer, who had completely misunderstood him, was worried about Wudu's fate.

...

In the shadows, Xue Xiaoren looked at Zhongyuan Yidianhong in confusion.

There has been no assassination mission for Yidianhong recently, so why is he

here? The servants of Xuejiazhuang called out from behind, with an urgent tone, urging the disobedient and ignorant Second Master Xue to take a bath and change clothes. Xue Xiaoren sneered in his heart. No one usually cared about him, but when his eldest brother's birthday came, they thought of him.

Damn it.

Xue Xiaoren was so angry that he jumped down from the tree canopy and passed by everyone in a swagger.

The group of servants hurriedly caught up with him, shouting: "Second Master Xue!"

It sounded a bit miserable, and I don't know how long he has been tortured.

Zhongyuan Yidianhong heard it from afar and was a little curious, but the foolish but powerful martial arts master Xue Erye rushed towards him with a flowery face, and passed by Zhongyuan Yidianhong with a group of people chasing him.

The fragrance of rouge was strong and pungent, and Yidianhong couldn't help sneezing.

Then someone saw him under the shade of the tree.

"Yidianhong!!"

"Zhongyuan Yidianhong!"

Most of the people who came to celebrate the birthday were well-known figures in the martial arts world, and among them were people who had seen Yidianhong. They called out Yidianhong's name and looked at him in astonishment.

Yidianhong rubbed his nose. The green trees on the high mountain villas were shaded, and the majestic outline was looming. With Wudu's speed, he was probably already in it.

He glanced at the manor and left quickly before anyone surrounded him.

The news that the world's number one killer appeared outside Xuejia Manor quickly spread among those who came to celebrate the birthday, and was reported by the servants of Xuejia Manor to Xue Yiren's son, Xue Bin.

As the eldest son of Xuejia Manor, Xue Bin did not inherit his father's outstanding talent. His swordsmanship was mediocre, but he was friendly and handsome. He was in charge of external affairs for his father's birthday.

Hearing the report about Zhongyuan Yidianhong, Xue Bin was stunned at first, and then full of doubts.

If Yidianhong came to kill people, why did he leave in a hurry after everyone found him

? If there was no one he wanted to kill, why would he appear outside Xuejia Manor?

Xue Bin was puzzled, but Zhongyuan Yidianhong had already left, so it seemed that there was no need to worry too much about the personal safety of the guests. After discussing with his mother, he ordered the people in the manor to investigate secretly, and on the surface, he showed a calm look that there was no need to be too vigilant.

Li Yuhan and Liu Wumei were also very puzzled. Not long after they parted with a killer, another killer appeared at the foot of Xuejia Manor...

"Could it be that Zhongyuan Yidianhong came to Songjiang Prefecture following Wudu?"

Li Yuhan guessed.

Liu Wumei nodded and said, "It's possible."

People who are well-informed know about the feud between Yidianhong and Wudu, not to mention that the two of them have just met Wudu. After a little guess, they have the answer.

The only thing that is a little puzzling is why Yidianhong stayed outside the gate of Xuejiazhuang.

Although the couple was puzzled, they had a consensus, that is, to hide their guesses and never let anyone know about their intersection with Wudu.

As for Bu Zao, he has changed his appearance and put on the short clothes of the servants of Xuejiazhuang. He successfully sneaked into Xuejiazhuang and became a sweeping servant, doing all kinds of odd jobs, being ordered around, and working diligently.

For Wudu, it is impossible to draw water. A clean freak will not allow himself to have dirty things in front of him.

After Xue Bin ordered his servants to thoroughly check the villa, Wu Du, who had just finished sweeping the yard with a broom, was given a task - to boil water for Xue Erye, who had finally agreed to take a bath, change clothes and tidy up his appearance.

The guys chasing Xue Xiaoren felt very tired just chasing him. Everyone thought that serving Xue Xiaoren to take a bath would be even more tiring. Just looking at Xue Xiaoren's face covered with rouge, his old clothes covered with patches, and his willful and uncooperative attitude, the servants of Xuejiazhuang were intimidated.

Wu Du, who was standing in the clean and tidy courtyard holding a broom and resting, and looked extremely cowardly, was dragged over by them. They instructed him: "You come and comfort the Second Master and don't let him escape. We will also guard the door for you. You must give the Second Master a good bath!"

It seemed that these people did not want to continue to get along with Xue Xiaoren. Everyone had a look of relief and relief on their face and an earnest desire for Wu Du in their eyes.

Xue Baobao is more tiring than a real baby. Isn't this a real baby?

[Side Quest: Give Xue Baobao a Bath]

[Quest Description: Xue Erye of Xuejiazhuang has only the mind of a child since he became stupid. He is much more difficult to deal with than a child. When Xue Yiren's birthday was approaching, the servants had to go through a lot of trouble to persuade him to take a bath. Now, can you serve this "disguised" Xue Erye well to take a bath?]

——[Accept] or [Refuse]

Wu Du covered his eyes with his hair, pretended to be honest and frightened, and accepted this task.

To be honest, he only accepted this task because of the task reward, not because he wanted to see how much Xue Xiaoren could let go of himself.

In order to better stabilize Xue Xiaoren, Wudu and Xue Xiaoren were stuffed into a yard, firewood and five large pots were prepared, and wooden barrels and clean new clothes were placed in a room nearby.

Xue Xiaoren looked at the young man in front of him who was looking down and couldn't see clearly, and he immediately knew why this man came to serve him, and sneered in his heart.

They are all guys who bully the weak and fear the strong, and this honest boy deserves it.

Although he knew the reason, Xue Xiaoren didn't think about treating this unlucky guy well.

Xue Baobao looked at the steaming pot in front of him and asked innocently, "Are you going to make soup for the baby? It's such a big pot. I want to drink pork rib soup!"

Wu Du: "No pork rib soup, but human meat soup."

Xue Xiaoren:

The people guarding outside:

What nonsense is this kid talking to a fool?

"I mean, this pot of water is for you to wash yourself clean." Wu Du found that no one understood his joke, so he explained sincerely, "After you wash yourself nicely, you can drink the soup. You can drink as much as you want."

Xue Xiaoren frowned at the tone of coaxing a child, but was interrupted by Bu Zao's sneer. He was stuck and suddenly lost the mood.

Bu Zao was a little disappointed, he thought Xue Baobao would be restless and make trouble.

In "Simulation Jianghu 1.0", Xue Xiaoren's early positioning was a comedian character. He appeared in various corners of Songjiang Prefecture from time to time, interacted with the disciples of the sect, and occasionally received very embarrassing and strange tasks issued by him.

There were almost no players who were not embarrassed by him.

But Bu Zao met him as Chongming and Wudu respectively, and the only task he got was not issued by Xue Xiaoren himself.

Xue Baobao stayed quietly aside, and the others were very surprised. They exchanged glances curiously and cast a scrutinizing look at the boy who was seriously boiling water.

Bu Zao noticed these glances and thought to himself that these people were definitely thinking something wrong.

The hot water bubbled and steam rose. Wu Du stood up to scoop the hot water. The other gatekeepers came to help.

After all, if he was left alone to scoop the hot water, it would take him forever.

The wooden barrel was filled with hot water. The people were about to leave, leaving Xue Xiaoren and Wu Du to bathe him.

"The baby wants to bathe by himself, and I don't want you to watch him!" Xue Baobao said at this time, with an extremely arrogant tone.

Before the others said anything, Wu Du said, "Let me help you. You are just a baby and still very young."

Xue Baobao, the person involved, felt a chill.

What's wrong with this kid?

But looking at his expression, he didn't seem to be joking.

"That's right, Second Master, you should let him stay..." The man who really thought Xue Xiaoren was a fool spoke cautiously.

"No!" Xue Baobao took the clothes on the table and threw them over angrily, his refusal was obvious.

"Okay, okay! No, no!" The man immediately changed his words, picked up the clothes on the ground and carefully placed them on the table, then turned his head and said, "Let's go!"

Several people grabbed Wu Du and hurriedly left the room, fearing that Second Master Xue would chop them in anger.

The door gradually closed, and Xue Xiaoren saw Wu Du's eyes covered by his hair for a moment, dark, bright, and without any emotion, but in the blink of an eye, the door closed.

*

Outside the door, Wu Du was dragged away by several people. Afterwards, they sighed at the closed door without saying a word, but the meaning was very obvious: Second Master Xue is really hard to serve.

Bu Zao didn't think so, because he had not completed the task he had just accepted. The person who issued the task was the one who was thrown clothes by Xue Xiaoren. Just now, the system prompted that the client had withdrawn the task, and the game gave 20 copper coins as compensation.

... Mosquito meat is also meat. Bu Zao tidied up his torn sleeves while using this little money to make up for the sect's deficit.

In the seven years on the mountain, in addition to madly leveling up to improve his strength, Bu Zao was also keen on DIY of the sect. He added new elements to the 1.0 version of his sect building. It was not tiring at all to carry out civil engineering with four vests and the main body. It was very fun to play.

The consequence of being too happy was that the design was too avant-garde, and too many novelty products were purchased. It has become a building that can no longer be called a martial arts world.

Most of the reasons for the sect's deficit are due to the sect construction. Bu Zao does not regret it at all. After all, this can be said to be good steel used on the blade.

But repaying debts is really not an easy thing. The only thing to be thankful for is that the game does not limit the repayment period.

Xue Erye did not want anyone to serve him, so Wu Du was useless. The people who found him waved and sent him away.

Wu Du left quietly with a broom.

As we watched his back disappear around the corner, someone suddenly said, "Come to think of it, what's that guy's name? Why haven't I seen him before?"

"Isn't he someone you know?"

"I saw him with nothing to do, walking around with a broom, so I thought he had nothing to do..."

"..."

"..."

A group of people fell into a strange silence.
