The Round Table and the Twelve Knights (53)



In the green and elegant garden.

Qi Yan was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, looking lazy.

Opposite him, Lin Su's face looked extremely bad, but he endured it and was obviously trying his best to control his temper.

Cheng Ze was no different from his usual self, and even served Qi Yan a cup of tea that he had specified. He bent down and placed it in front of him, smiled and said, "You used to love coming uninvited and you couldn't be driven away.

It’s really not easy to invite you here this time.”

Qi Yan rolled his eyes indifferently. To be honest, he was annoyed by Xiaojiu's so-called brothers.

Everyone knew each other's true thoughts. These people were annoying because they seized the opportunity and stayed close to Xiaojiu. In the past, they always used their identity as Xiaojiu's brother to prevent him and Xiaojiu from getting along.

Despicable and sanctimonious, bah.

"After all, my brothers don't welcome me." He picked up the teacup and took a sip with a smile, looking at Cheng Ze with his sparkling peach blossom eyes with a hint of frivolity, "Second brother's tea-making and cooking skills are still so good. The Cheng family doesn't even need to hire a cook. This makes me, who is not very wealthy, really envious."

Cheng Ze seemed to have no temper at all, and smiled without feeling offended at all, "After all, Xiaojiu likes the food I make myself."

"Tsk." Qi Yan didn't stab the other person, so he made a bored sound and threw the teacup back on the table.

"Qi Yan, Xiaojiu might be in danger right now. Mr. Shen said you have a way to find her..."

Before Cheng Ze could finish his words, he was interrupted by Qi Yan.

"But why should I?"

No one expected him to react like this, and they were all stunned for a moment.

Qi Yan smiled maliciously, "I don't believe you can't guess who took her away. If that's the case, you don't think that person will really hurt her, do you? How could she be in any danger? On the contrary, if I were really stupid enough to act as a spy for you, I would be the real cannon fodder, right?"

He slowly lowered his legs and put one foot on the low table in front of him. He leaned back on the sofa with his arms folded, and smiled arrogantly, "In your eyes, am I such a fool?"

There was no warmth in Lin Su's eyes anymore.

"You don't have to bluff." His voice was steady and cold, with a resounding sense of power that made people feel a little oppressive. "You haven't received the mission. You should be clear that the murderer who killed Xiaojiu is hiding beside her.

You are not stupid, and we don't have the time to take advantage of you.

Mr. Shen said that all he needs is for you to find Xiaojiu's location."

Qi Yan's eyes rolled around, full of ill intentions. "Even so, why should I agree?"

"I could have just quietly found Xiaojiu myself and run away with her."

He stood up and put his feet down, resting his elbows on his knees, and put his fingertips together under his chin, revealing a seemingly innocent smile, "Brother, you just said that the murderer is hiding next to Xiaojiu.

It could be someone else, so why couldn't it be one of you?"

As soon as he said this, the expressions of Lin Su and the other two changed slightly.

"So, you want me to help you locate Xiaojiu? Dreaming is faster."

He stood up and chuckled, "Thank you for the treat. I'll take my leave now. After all, it's not convenient for me to show up casually right now."

Seeing that he had reached the door but his elder and second brothers did not react, Cheng Yuan stood up. However, before he could move, he saw Qi Yan, who was about to step out of the door, raised his hands high and then stepped back step by step.

As he moved, the first thing that appeared in Cheng Yuan's sight was the gun pressed against Qi Yan's forehead, followed by the hand and arm holding the gun... Then the man approached step by step as Qi Yan retreated, revealing his entire body.

"Master Qi, what a coincidence." Qin Huai curled his lips.
