Chapter 5
Lu Xiaofeng and others learned the name of the owner of Wanwu Building from Sikong Zhaixing.
Sikong Zhaixing led the people into the house. He didn't know whether Chongming was happy or not, but he was happy.
Chongming was sitting in the yard playing chess with him. His black hair was like ink, his skin was white, and the light blue veins on the back of his hand were looming. His temperament was mysterious and silent.
When he turned his head, he revealed the silver mask on the other side of his face.
The mask was engraved with simple and strange patterns, reflecting orange light in the afterglow of the setting sun.
He looked at the people in front of him with cold eyes, and did not express any opinion on Sikong Zhaixing who led them in.
This made Sikong Zhaixing, who was expecting him to be unhappy or angry, a little unwilling.
Lu Xiaofeng looked at Zhongming and smiled at him.
*
Bu Zao was not surprised at all that Wuqing and Jin Jiuling came to visit Zhongming.
Because the eldest disciple's skills had already collected the news that they would come. What's more, the purpose of inviting Master Guisun to reveal his whereabouts was to have more connections with the game characters.
It doesn't matter who the person is.
At this time, the Jianghu Characters Illustrated Book added three characters at once.
[Ding! Jianghu Characters Illustrated Book +1]
[Lu Xiaofeng, this person's origin is a mystery, and his famous skill is "Telepathic Finger". His characteristic is two mustaches similar to eyebrows. He is curious and loves to solve puzzles. He has friends all over the world. Befriending this person may help you become the leader of the world's largest sect. 】
The system prompt sound kept ringing, as if it was reading out everyone's introduction.
Bu Zao's head was hurt by the noise, and he turned off the system prompt sound before he finished listening. The automatic prompt program set by the system sometimes has a clear feeling like AI - it doesn't know how to cooperate without considering the situation.
〖The system expressed its disapproval of the player's dislike.〗
"Master Chong——"
Wuqing said a few words to make things convenient, and found that Chongming didn't listen to him at all. He paused and called him.
The young man with a silver mask covering half of his face looked at him with calm eyes and said, "I know what you want to ask, so there is no need to talk about the situation."
Wuqing followed his words and asked directly, "Then I will ask, do you know where the thief Xiuhua has gone?"
Zhongming said nothing and glanced at Jin Jiuling beside him.
Jin Jiuling's heart skipped a beat.
Zhongming smiled strangely and said to the two of them, "I know the identity of the thief Xiuhua, but..."
But what?
Wuqing stared at the young man in front of him.
Jin Jiuling's back was covered with sweat.
"I don't deal with idiots."
The two were stunned.
Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zhaixing, who were listening not far away, widened their eyes.
The two sword boys who came with Wuqing glared at Zhongming for his rude words.
It may sound unpleasant, but for Chongming, who has a God's perspective, the thief Jin Jiuling of Xiuhua did not know the identity of the robbed person before he took action. Wuqing and Jin Jiuling came together to ask the thief about his true identity - it was the kind of "is it necessary to ask" combination.
Bu Zao and Wuqing became close friends in the game by brushing up their favorability. The captain was also an important guest of the Salted Fish Party. Wuqing
ranked at the top of the "Most Popular Player List" and there were countless derivative works. Bu Zao certainly liked him very much.
But in this version of the game, Chongming has to go for a weirdo personality. Of course, he can't answer the question as soon as it is asked. It would be as awkward and twisted as it could be.
Bu Zao is determined to make people mention Chongming as someone who is difficult to deal with and difficult to figure out. People don't want to deal with him but have to deal with him.
Jin Jiuling understood why Chongming said that. As the person involved in the case, he understood the ridicule hidden in Chongming's words.
Chongming's calm gaze made Jin Jiuling feel like something stuck in his throat, and a hint of murderous intent filled his heart.
Wuqing looked at Chongming steadily and asked, "Is it not possible for me to buy this information from you?"
Chongming played with the black chess piece in his hand and said casually, "If you are willing to spend this money, I don't mind, but this may only prove that you are not only a fool, but also a sucker."
The hint was already very obvious. Bu Zao knew that with Wuqing's sharpness, he had already discovered it. Some money can be earned, but there is no rush. Wuqing
pondered for a moment, and suddenly looked at Jin Jiuling on the side: "What do you think we should do, Captain Jin? The owner of the building treats you and me as
idiots." Jin Jiuling felt heavy in his heart, and said, "If we deal with this person again, we will become the scapegoat. Why bother talking to such a rude person? I don't want to stay here anymore."
Chongming continued very rudely: "Then please go - Mr. Si, you should send off the people you brought."
Being suddenly called, Sikong Zhaixing reacted very quickly: "My surname is Sikong!"
Chongming glanced at him, indifferent, and got up and went back to the house.
Sikong Zhaixing shouted at his back: "Don't treat me as your subordinate!"
Lu Xiaofeng stroked his beard. He had never spoken a word to the landlord named Chongming from beginning to end, but it was no wonder that Master Guisun was not happy when he mentioned him. He
is indeed a young man with a unique personality.
Sikong Zhaixing walked out with the three of them with an unhappy look on his face. Lu Xiaofeng looked around. The courtyard was quiet and spacious with many guest rooms, so he asked: "We have finally come here, why don't you invite us to stay?"
"Go ask the one named Chong." Sikong Zhaixing said stiffly.
"You... really look like his subordinate." Lu Xiaofeng said honestly.
Sikong Zhaixing drove Lu Xiaoji, who was gloating over the misfortune, out of the door.
Before leaving, Wuqing looked at Sikong Zhaixing and asked him directly: "If I'm not mistaken, you stayed with him because your mission failed."
Lu Xiaofeng pricked up her ears.
Because Sikong Zhaixing looked calm before, no one asked why Sikong Zhaixing appeared outside the yard with a basket of vegetables, and no one asked him what happened.
Lu Xiaofeng didn't dare to ask, after all, it was interesting to see Sikong Zhaixing talking about nothing but not talking about his own experience.
Wuqing has no scruples. Sikong Zhaixing's appearance here means that someone may have set his sights on Chongming, the owner of Wanwu Building.
"No mission."
Sikong Zhaixing smiled, holding the door and blinking innocently, and made up his mind: he must shut Chongming's mouth.
Wuqing said nothing. Lu Xiaofeng curled his eyes.
"Goodbye." Sikong Zhaixing said politely and closed the door manually.
Before the door closed, Jin Jiuling stared at him deeply until he was blocked by the door.
Sikong Zhaixing hung up the bolt with a slam, feeling depressed.
Going to the yard again, Chongming closed the door of the study tightly, and ignored Sikong Zhaixing who was hanging around outside the door.
Sikong Zhaixing made himself a bowl of fried rapeseed in depression.
Previously, the meals Chongming sent him were all ordered from the restaurant, and the person who sent the meals was also the errand boy there. Now that Sikong Zhaixing has seen the light of day, Chongming will not include meals.
On the first day Sikong Zhaixing followed Chongming, he waited patiently for half an hour at mealtime. As a result, his stomach growled and he ran to ask Chongming. The young owner of the restaurant said very calmly: "You can go out now."
... This treatment is even worse than being a prisoner.
Sikong Zhaixing was criticizing Chongming here, while Chongming was reading the secrets of the martial arts world in the study, and copied down the news that someone had bought for a lot of money. The martial arts
world is a swimming pool, and those who drown are all good at swimming. The eldest disciple Majia, who has the ability to communicate with all things, is the lifeguard sitting on the stage and overlooking the whole scene.
The God's Perspective is so amazing that Bu Zao was filled with emotion. If he didn't have this skill, he wouldn't be able to enjoy his business.
There are many people who spend money to buy information. Some want to know the whereabouts of their enemies, some want to know the truth, some want to find treasures, some want to avoid being hunted down... Bu Zao doesn't refuse everyone. Most of the time, he chooses people to do business with. Making money is one thing, and deepening the impression of Wanwulou is another.
Now Wanwulou has become famous in the world. Jin Jiuling, who sent Sikong Zhaixing to steal people, and the forces behind him are the best proof.
After integrating and categorizing the information that buyers want, Bu Zao clicked "Send Letter" on the game panel to send the message.
The game has a built-in letter-sending function, which does not consume manpower and material resources. It only costs fifty copper plates, and the letter will automatically appear near the buyer.
The cost of fifty copper plates is not bad at all compared to the reward of more than ten or a hundred times that.
[The system expressed appreciation for the player's dedication.]
It was late at night when Chongming received the letter after sending it. Several people were shocked by the power of Wanwu Building. Bu Zao was very satisfied and felt that the future was bright.
At this time, Sikong Zhaixing also took action.
The King of Thieves sneaked out of the room, jumped onto the roof, and looked at Chongming's room before leaving. He saw a figure standing at the window that was dark and closed just now.
Chongming stood at the window, staring at Sikong Zhaixing, his face shining in the moonlight, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Sikong Zhaixing almost fell down, staring at the smiling Chongming, he turned around and continued his way out.
Bu Zao whistled happily in his heart.
Sikong Zhaixing went out to give an explanation to his employer. Before they parted, Jin Jiuling looked at him with eyes that seemed to want to execute him on the spot.
When Jin Jiuling did not show any familiarity with him, Sikong Zhaixing understood that the matter of "stealing the owner of Wanwu Building" was only a secret between him and Jin Jiuling, and even the ruthless captain who was traveling with him was not an insider.
Therefore, the considerate Sikong Zhaixing had to explain it away from others.
Thinking and doing are both possible. There is no chance for them to meet alone. Jin Jiuling has a sharp and deep captain Wuqing by his side, and a curious Lu Xiaofeng who has not left. Sikong Zhaixing saw all three of them at the same time.
Jin Jiuling told Sikong Zhaixing to keep it secret with silence, while Lu Xiaofeng asked Sikong Zhaixing with a smile how he got so bad.
Sikong Zhaixing was in such a bad mood that he wanted to fight Lu Xiaofeng for 300 rounds, but Wuqing stared at him indifferently.
So Sikong Zhaixing organized the language, concealed the identity of his employer and the causes and consequences of his bad luck, briefly and briefly introduced his experience, and indirectly explained to Jin Jiuling that he did not fail in the mission, but -
failed to start.
Because the owner of Wanwu Building, who claimed to know everything, even knew that Sikong Zhaixing was going to steal someone.
Jin Jiuling retorted in his heart, this is impossible.
The place where he and Sikong Zhaixing met was as secretive as possible, and he left after talking. How could anyone know the content of his conversation with Sikong Zhaixing?
Wuqing and Lu Xiaofeng were equally unbelievable. After all, this can only show that both Sikong Zhaixing and his employer were very careless.
In other words, the other party's ability is far beyond what they can imagine.
Wuqing was surprised and grasped the key point, asking: "Does he know that you went out?"
Sikong Zhaixing showed an unnatural expression: "Yes. He saw me go out."
Several people were silent.
Lu Xiaofeng said: "Monkey spirit, have you really joined the Wanwu Building?"
Sikong Zhaixing said: "Shut up!"
