After waiting in the luxurious room for only three minutes, Manager Bin walked in.

"Master Xia, what can I do for you?"

This old man with bad intentions put on a polite attitude, which made Xia Xiao sneer at him.

"Tell me your conditions! I want the antidote."

"What antidote? I don't understand."

Manager Bin had a wicked smile on his face. He didn't expect that Huiyue was actually successful. That was good, it was a surprise!

Sitting opposite Xia Xiao, when he glanced at Shu Shuang, Manager Bin showed some fear on his face, thinking that this must be the girl who left the church. He would not tell her everything in front of her, as that would be asking for trouble.

"Don't hand it over? Then you will only lose one subordinate. I didn't take your poison."

What does that mean? Manager Bin was a little confused by Xia Xiao's relaxed tone. Moreover, Xia Xiao was seriously injured the day before yesterday, how come he is almost healed now? Even if he is at the peak of Condensation, it will take him about a week to recover!

"What I hate most is people like you who involve innocent people. She did nothing wrong."

After looking at Shu Shuang, Manager Bin frowned.

"Master Xia, why can't I understand what you are saying?"

"Shu Shuang, go wait for me outside the door."

Xia Xiao had already noticed the look in Manager Bin's eyes. He would glance at Shu Shuang every time before speaking. Only if she left would he tell the truth.

"OK."

Shu Shuang was the same as usual, but Manager Bin's heart sank. Why did the members of the Zou Shou Church listen to Xia Xiao? In the impression of the world, the people of the Zou Shou Church are all strong. Because Xia Xiao is the leader of the Zou Shou Church? The disciple of the emperor? Manager Bin did not dare to underestimate him, but after Shu Shuang left, he showed his true face, his old face turned cold, and said:

"I have to admit that you are very powerful. Even after discussing it all night last night, I still couldn't kill you."

"So? You guys came up with a new idea?"

Xia Xiao was very calm. It seemed that they knew more and more about him. This was good! The more they knew, the less they dared to act. No one dared to offend the Zou Shou Church, at least now!

"What new methods are there? Your status is very remarkable, and smart people know what it means."

"So you're stupid."

Manager Bin snorted coldly.

"Although I didn't make the poison, I have an antidote. However, you must have seen how powerful the poison is. She will die within seven days, and no medicine can alleviate the toxicity during this period."

Manager Bin had vicious eyes and his beard was fluttering. It was Xia Xiao who was releasing his vital energy.

The two sat opposite each other, their vital energy whizzing out, and when they collided, they swept away all the cups and plates on the table, breaking them all over the floor.

With his eyes fixed, Xia Xiao stared at Manager Bin, cursing him in his heart as an old fox. This guy was hiding his strength, and he should be around the Venerable Realm.

"condition?"

"Do you know the bandit den 20 kilometers north of the city?"

With a sneer, Xia Xiao gathered his energy and crossed his legs.

"I see. It's really deliberate."

"What did Master Xia understand?"

"You know Shu Shuang and I's identities, and you know you can't do it openly, so you used covert means. You originally wanted to poison me, and then put the blame on Hui Yue. As long as she was executed, there would be no evidence. This poison is a strange one. If I want to live, I have to find you, and then you let me go to the bandit's den to die..."

Hearing this, Manager Bin laughed a few times. The so-called visitors coming from afar were just like this. Weren’t they tricked by him?

"The plan has changed now. Huiyue took poison, but you know Shushuang, who is from the Zou Shou Church, will not stand by and watch someone die. So continue with the plan, right?"

"Master Xia is really smart. You were isolated and helpless in Rongcheng, and died in the bandit's den. We can explain it however we want, saying that you were merciful and helped the people get rid of harm, and we can also win you a good reputation."

"I didn't say I was going."

Manager Bin rested his hands on his thighs, leaned forward, and crossed his broken fingers. This old face was extremely sinister, and there was cunning in his eyes.

"The choice is yours, my honorable Master Xia Xiao. I haven't played with an ordinary maid yet, but it's nothing to be ashamed of. When has the world ever lacked beautiful women?"

Manager Bin smiled sinisterly, looking extremely dangerous.

Even though the city lord is rich and powerful, he can't beat him in terms of brains. As a member of the Zoushou Church, Shu Shuang is still so young, and he will definitely not stand by and watch someone die. In his eyes, the Zoushou Church is full of idiots with compassionate hearts, who think that promoting the doctrine of peace can save the world. Who in this world doesn't play tricks? Who doesn't cheat? But he just took advantage of this.

There are more than one powerful Ningzhong in the bandit's den. How can Xia Xiao deal with them? If he goes, he will die!

Xia Xiao and Manager Bin looked at each other, sparks flying in their eyes.

"Master Xia, I'm afraid you don't know yet? Why did she stop you from entering the Martial Arts City and still care about you so much?"

Xia Xiao did not show any concern, but Manager Bin continued:

"Huiyue has a younger brother who is only three years younger than you. Unfortunately, he is ill and almost blind, and his mother is also bedridden. There is also an old man at home who is quite capable. He has always been the one to escort the medicinal materials to Rongcheng, but he was robbed by bandits. Now he is in debt. Otherwise, a woman of that appearance would not be willing to be a guard dog!"

"If you want to win my sympathy, forget it. No one can compare to my Xia family."

Xia Xiao was so calm that Manager Bin was afraid. At this moment, Xia Xiao was sitting quietly, like a strong man who was calm and experienced, not a child. He had seen so many people, but Xia Xiao was the only one who gave Manager Bin such a sharp feeling!

Manager Bin gradually became worried. Xia Xiao and Huiyue didn't know each other before, but Shu Shuang still listened to him so much. Would he really ignore her?

"Master Xia, what do you think?"

Manager Bin did not reveal his thoughts. In this psychological warfare, they were both on both sides of the scale. If anyone took a step back, the balance would collapse.

"I will go there with Shu Shuang tomorrow morning to prepare to clean up the battlefield and get the antidote ready. Also, Hui Yue must have helped you because she was tricked by you, so get the money ready."

Manager Bin curled his lips and changed his previous opinion. Xia Xiao was indeed a smart man.

"Master Xia, rest assured. I have prepared a hundred taels of silver and the antidote. I will also send it to you tomorrow morning."

"You don't have to send me off, you have to come when the time comes to welcome me, or I will slap you in the face in public!"

Xia Xiao looked at Manager Bin with a silent gaze, as if he was looking at an animal, which made the latter secretly angry. But as long as Xia Xiao was willing to go to the bandit's lair, there would be no problem.

"Okay, I hope your secret operation will be successful this time."

Manager Bin's eyes flashed with murderous intent. No matter how powerful Xia Xiao was, he was just a human being. Facing a group of bandits, it would be difficult to escape death, let alone kill them all!

Xia Xiao stood up and left.

"Farewell, Young Master Xia!"

Manager Bin watched as a man immediately walked out of the darkness.

"Go tell the city lord that everything is going well. We will collect the bodies tomorrow!"

"yes!"

Outside the door, Shu Shuang was waiting quietly, with Hui Yue standing beside her. When the latter saw Xia Xiao coming out, she went to greet him with her eyes red from crying.

"What did you say to the steward? Did he do anything to you?"

Huiyue suppressed herself, but still choked up. She looked at Xia Xiao carefully for a few times, fortunately he didn't lose any limbs.

"The antidote will be available tomorrow, provided you do me a favor."

"you say!"

Huiyue still doesn’t know what has happened, but since Manager Bin promised to hand over the antidote tomorrow, it must be that Xia Xiao has paid enough price.

"Help me search for information about the bandit den in the north of the city. Go now."

"Are you going somewhere? No! No!"

Huiyue shook her head, her breathing became increasingly rapid, and she was about to rush into the room, but was grabbed by Xia Xiao.

"If you don't want to die, then be obedient!"

Those cold words extinguished the fire in Huiyue's heart. Manager Bin was too shameless. Since he let Xia Xiao go to that kind of place, wasn't that tantamount to sending him to death?

"Walk!"

Xia Xiao finished speaking and let go of her hand. Shu Shuang held Hui Yue and walked out together, saying comfortingly:

"Do as he says and search for relevant information. We will solve it."

Huiyue was still crying, she didn't expect things to turn out like this. She thought it would end easily, and she even went to beg for mercy, as long as she could survive and solve the family's problems, she could sell her body as long as it didn't involve others, but...

"We are going back now. Send the news here before tomorrow morning!"

After that, Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang left. The latter even waved to Hui Yue and said goodbye politely!

On the way back, Xia Xiao told Shu Shuang about the conversation between him and Manager Bin. The latter was not surprised, as such things were always unavoidable.

"So this bandit's nest is not simple!"

"Hmm! They probably won't interfere, and they might even call a lot of people to clean up the mess. I can already guess their sinister faces."

"Can we win? Your leg injury hasn't healed yet..."

"As long as we are fully prepared, there should be no problem. A bandit's den will definitely not have strong men above the Venerable Realm."

Although it is also troublesome to condense the seed, Xia Xiao has a way. Tonight he will master the power of the wood element. With that kind of power, he can fight against the strong condensed seed with the help of the broadsword.

Shu Shuang nodded. They were not even afraid of that wisp of black smoke, so what were a few bandits? Manager Bin wanted himself and Xia Xiao to die there, which was simply a foolish dream.

"Let's go to the blacksmith shop and order some arrows overnight!"

Ever since he decided to go, Xia Xiao had a complete plan in his mind. Since his father and elder brother were generals, he had learned how to formulate tactics since he was a child!
