"Then why would anyone want to stop you from obtaining the fragments of the world?" Luo Sheng had always been curious about why someone would stop her from obtaining the fragments of the world.

Luo Sheng thought of many possibilities.

① For example, card masters from other colleges prevented her from winning first place.

②Her enemies are afraid that she will become stronger.

But all of this is difficult to justify, because if you think about it the other way around, you will find that it does not hold water.

If the people from other colleges wanted to prevent her from winning first place, why didn't they just take the world fragments? Why did they have to do these things secretly?

If it was an enemy, it would be even more impossible. Luo Sheng had discovered in the previous battle that the other party did not intend to kill her, but wanted to interfere with Qin Jianjia's conquest of the world fragments.

So Luo Sheng was very curious.

But he seemed to have seen this assassination method somewhere before, and it looked very familiar.

Luo Sheng continued: "This is not a simple assassination. It reminds me of someone, but I'm not sure now."

Qin Jianjia turned to him and said, "In fact, their purpose is very simple, which is to prevent me from getting first place. You should know the reward for getting first place."

Luo Sheng recalled for a moment and asked puzzledly: "Spirit Jade Refining Liquid?"

It was something he had thought of before, but he rejected it.

"Yeah." Qin Jianjia nodded gently, stacked the bowls and chopsticks together with her white hands, and continued: "Their goal is very clear, which is to stop me from growing. Remember what I told you before?"

"If I don't reach the Platinum level within two years, I'll marry those bastards!"

Luo Sheng recalled what she had said at the previous Alliance Envoy Banquet.

At that time, I was very indignant. The Qin family sacrificed a woman in order to get the opportunity to make their people stronger.

"Um."

Qin Jianjia stroked her hair, stared at the bright light and said:

"The effect of the Spirit Jade Refining Fluid on different people is also very different... For ordinary people, the upper limit is limited, so the effect is not great. But for those who are already very talented, with the help of the fluid, the speed of level improvement will be leaps and bounds."

As she spoke, Qin Jianjia showed him her current strength.

Although it is only Silver Five Star, it is vaguely reaching Silver Six Star.

If Qin Jianjia obtains the Spirit Jade Refining Liquid, her growth will be rapid, and she might even be able to break through to Silver Seven Stars in one fell swoop.

Only half a year has passed since Qin Jianjia condensed the spirit jade, and she has already achieved such success. This speed can probably be described as a rocket-like rise.

Luo Sheng pondered for a moment and said, "It is your family that wants to stop you, but why? Wouldn't your strength be more beneficial to your family?"

"Maybe it's because the compensation given by the Evil Card Master Organization is only high, not low." Qin Jianjia propped up her snow-white face with one hand and said in a very helpless tone.

There was a moment of confusion in her eyes.

However, when he took out the [Fragment of the World], color returned to his eyes.

What a strong woman.

Luo Sheng thought so. Compared with his own fate, perhaps her fate was even more miserable than his.

Although she was a girl from a large family and lived a comfortable life in the first half of her life, her second half was bound to be a tragedy, and she tried to get rid of this tragedy through her own efforts.

At this time, on the outdoor electric light, moths in groups of three or two kept flapping their wings and kept approaching the lampshade.

The light flickered.

I don’t know how long it took, but Luo Sheng felt something pressing on his shoulder, and it felt a suitable temperature. When he turned his head, he found it.

Qin Jianjia had placed her delicate head on his shoulder at some point, and a strand of hair fell from her head and landed in his hand, soft as silk.

Her delicate facial features looked fair and lovely under the light, just like Sleeping Beauty.

It makes people want to touch it.

Luo Sheng held her hair in his palms, rubbing it constantly and playing with it carefully.

She was already fast asleep at this moment. She was so exhausted from today's events that she didn't even want to meditate.

Luo Sheng gently took out a blanket from Dongfang Muqing's Qingyu and gently covered her with it to prevent her from catching a cold.

She leaned on my shoulder like that.

Luo Sheng listened to the faint breathing sounds and the faint fragrance lingering around his nose.

He felt that Qin Jianjia at this moment was her true appearance, and all other times she was just pretending.

Luo Sheng recalled the scene when he met her in the black market, and the moment when they won the card screening competition and held hands.

Although Qin Jianjia turned her back on him after leaving the black market, it is undeniable that the memory was indeed very heartwarming.

Luo Sheng quietly held her hand.

It was soft and smooth like mutton-fat jade, especially the warmth from the palm of his hand, Luo Sheng was even more reluctant to let it go.

"Is it fun?"

Suddenly, a voice came from my ear.

Luo Sheng was nervous for a moment, intending to let go of her hand, and said with a guilty look on his face: "Sorry, I'm just curious."

Just at the moment when he was about to let go, Qin Jianjia suddenly opened her five fingers, crossed their fingers with his hand, and held it.

"Once you hold it, don't let go."

Qin Jianjia said with her eyes closed, then she pulled the blanket around her body and continued to fall into a deep sleep.

Luo Sheng heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the steady breathing.

I thought she would blame me, but I didn't expect it to be like this. Luo Sheng held her hand tightly, feeling the warmth that could melt people's hearts.

"pain……"

Listening to the sound coming from his ears, Luo Sheng found that he was a little too strong.

Then he loosened his grip a little, but still held it tightly.

As time passed, Luo Sheng also felt sleepy. Perhaps it was because her girlish fragrance was still lingering around, or perhaps it was the warmth from her body that made Luo Sheng feel very warm.

Luo Sheng closed his eyes in a daze, and then rested his head gently on top of hers.

The two of them leaned against each other like this.

There is a hint of warmth in this dark and gloomy mechanical city.

Luo Sheng's fatigue over the past few days was quickly disappearing through rest. He had experienced too many events and had not had a good rest.

………

Time passes by little by little.

Tick-tock…tick-tock…

Tick-tock…

The sound of water dripping from faucets in abandoned buildings kept echoing in my ears.

In this quiet environment, the sound seems a bit abrupt.

Luo Sheng sensed something in his daze, and his spirit jade was sounding a crazy alarm.

He subconsciously used [Thousand Door Shield] and [Ice Water Shelter].

In an instant, two cards were lit up, and a huge Thousand Doors Shield enveloped them, and the Ice Water Shelter also protected them firmly.

The next moment.

Boom!!!

A loud noise sounded outside the Thousand Door Shield.

The Thousand Door Shield could not withstand the powerful impact and began to break, and the attack force continued to come towards Luo Sheng.

Fortunately, this attack was offset by the ice water protection, and Luo Sheng and Qin Jianjia were not harmed.

Luo Sheng woke up instantly, quickly exerted his mental power, and put on a layer of mecha on himself.

Qin Jianjia also dispersed without hesitation. The cooldown time of the defensive card [Ice Shield] had long passed.

Suddenly, she was covered with a thin layer of ice armor.

He also looked around vigilantly.

At this time, there was a big hole in the villa, and the dim light from outside shone in.

"We were attacked!"

Luo Sheng used his powerful mental power to sense that there was someone nearby.

He summoned Bai Moxue and made her disappear into the darkness, while also using the mecha's AI to continuously monitor the surrounding situation.

"It's dangerous here. They should hide in the corners and hunt us quietly." Qin Jianjia said.

Luo Sheng nodded. These guys were obviously coming for him, because all their attacks were aimed at him, not Qin Jianjia. It was obvious that they wanted to kill him.

"Hold me tight." He said to Qin Jianjia.

Qin Jianjia hesitated for two seconds, then directly hugged his mecha arm. The jet pack on Luo Sheng's back was activated, and he took off from the ground instantly, broke through the roof, and flew directly into the air.

Quickly left the town.

A densely built area like a small town is a paradise for assassins, which is very unfavorable for Luo Sheng.

Therefore, choosing favorable terrain is sometimes part of the battle.

However, Luo Sheng had been flying with Qin Jianjia for not long when a huge fireball came towards him.

"Bai Foam Snow!"

Luo Sheng shouted, and Bai Moxue suddenly appeared from the shadows on his back, with the wind at her back, and kept hitting the fireball with her red sleeves all over the sky.

A large number of red sleeves were burned to death.

Luo Sheng created the illusion of being shot down, leaving a long trail of fire and black smoke in the air, and fell straight to the outskirts of the town.

Then he hid in a small forest.

"Are you okay?"

Qin Jianjia asked with concern.

Especially when he saw flames coming out of Luo Sheng's mecha's jet pack, he was even more afraid that he would get hurt.

Luo Sheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I was just putting on an act for them to see. We don't have an advantage in this small town."

Qin Jianjia nodded.

Luo Sheng picked up the black mask and shone it on his face, and his mental strength and breath were immediately covered up.

Although others could still sense Luo Sheng, they did not know his level of strength, or his appearance, as if they were strangers.

"You should still have the black mask, right?" Luo Sheng asked first, and then gritted his teeth and said: "These guys need to be taught a lesson!"

Forget about the last time we raided the world fragments.

Now he attacks me while I'm soundly asleep.

It's as if he's a good-natured guy with no temper.

Luo Sheng had to make them suffer, otherwise how could he live up to the title of "Master of Opening Doors".

Qin Jianjia nodded, took out the black mask card and covered her face with it.

All of aura was immediately covered up, and ordinary people using their mental power to observe her would think she was just an ordinary person.

While Qin Jianjia was using the mask, Luo Sheng summoned a mechanical mole.

"Can you track down who's inside?"

Luo Sheng asked the mechanical mole. He had read the skills of this card before, and there was a skill in it that allowed tracking by smell.

The mechanical mole nodded slightly, then took a breath and began to rely on its olfactory electrical components to identify the people inside the town.

Then, the electric drill on its head suddenly drilled underground. Luo Sheng and Qin Jianjia followed behind it, approaching the town little by little from underground.

at the same time.

The other side.

On a tall building inside the town.

Qin Shiyu was chatting with the masked uncle: "Damn it, that guy escaped again. This bastard has been against us time and time again. We can't keep him!"

The masked uncle took a deep breath of smoke, exhaled slowly, and put the slightly hot card into the card box. "This guy is very weird. He escaped twice."

"He's just a commoner. I can kill him with just one finger." Qin Shiyu said with disdain.

When he thought of what Luo Sheng said to him before entering the Mechanical City, he became even more angry.

After all, it was a heinous crime for a commoner to dare to ridicule him.

In this world where martial arts is respected, hierarchy is particularly important. This is how Qin Shiyu sees it. What's more, Luo Sheng has been hindering his plans.

Qin Shiyu said again: "Let's go and hunt him down."

"Are you sure you want to do this? He is with Qin Jianjia. If she finds out, you will be in trouble." The masked uncle looked at him helplessly and took another puff of his cigarette.

"As long as I wear the mask, she won't know who I am. What's more, as long as you lead her away, I will go after that bastard." Qin Shiyu suggested.

Then Qin Shiyu stared at the masked uncle and said, "Don't say you are scared. You are also a member of the organization."

“Hahaha!” The masked uncle laughed loudly, then took a puff of his cigarette and looked at him with stern eyes, “Young man, don’t be too impulsive. I’ve lived to this day because of my caution.”

Qin Shiyu was speechless when he saw his horrifying look.

Then he said stubbornly, "I don't care, that guy must die!"

Just at this moment.

The masked uncle seemed to sense something.

He frowned slightly, threw the half-smoked cigarette to the ground, and put it out with his smooth leather shoes.

"What's wrong?" Qin Shiyu looked at him puzzledly.

"Something is wrong."

The masked uncle had just finished speaking.

Suddenly, a black figure flashed from the darkness, and a golden light quickly rushed towards Qin Shiyu's head.

Qin Shiyu was frightened by the sudden attack, but he dodged it quickly with his nimble hands and feet, summoned a defensive card, and covered himself with a black coat.

"Damn it!" Qin Shiyu cursed angrily.

Very annoyed by this attack.

The masked uncle also summoned the offensive card [Wooden Man], and a huge puppet appeared beside him.

In the dim light, a woman in red stood opposite them, holding a pair of golden scissors in her hands. Her eyes exuded a terrifying aura, which was eerie and strange.

"Walk!"

The masked uncle reacted very quickly.

But they had not walked for long when suddenly a huge arena appeared under their feet.

Rumble... A trembling sound came from the ground, and a cloud of smoke and dust rolled up.

When the two opened their eyes again, Qin Shiyu and the masked uncle found themselves trapped in the Colosseum, and in front of them stood two men wearing black masks.

"It's you!" A woman wearing a black mask said angrily when she saw Qin Shiyu, "What benefits did they give you to make you do this?"

At this moment, Luo Sheng, wearing a black mask, turned his head blankly and looked at Qin Jianjia.

She clenched her fists angrily at this moment and spoke almost word by word.

"Haha, you found out." Qin Shiyu laughed a few times, then stared at her and said, "You don't have to wear a mask, Qin Jianjia... I do this for your own good. These people are powerful. If you marry them, it will only bring you happiness."

"You are just treating me as a transaction."

"Don't say that. You are contributing to the family. Besides, what's wrong with marrying them?"

Qin Shiyu opened his eyes wide and smiled brilliantly, and the devilish voice of hell continued to ring out: "If you marry them, you will have countless resources, even a handful of quenching liquid.

You can quickly grow into a strong man of your generation, and only with great strength can you be the best in this world.

Moreover, they will also bring a lot of resources to the family. You know, with these things, the family can train several platinum-level powerhouses, and I will be one of them.

It only takes half a year for me to jump from an ordinary card master who has just condensed the spirit jade to a platinum card master. Everyone who sees me has to be polite, and I can even become the lord of a city.

Besides, you didn’t sacrifice yourself, but you were reborn. I was also reborn. I don’t understand what you are disgusted with. Isn’t it good to be a wife and be with a strong man?”

Qin Shiyu acted like an elder brother forcing him into marriage.

Qin Jianjia reached out and took off the black mask. At this moment, she was already in the center of anger.

The murderous eyes were fixed on Qin Shiyu.

But the other party just smiled, as if he was fearless, as if to say, what can you do to me? Seeing this, Luo Sheng felt sorry for Qin Jianjia and couldn't help but scold her: "Your mother had an affair with the old man next door, so she gave birth to a beast like you. I don't have a son like you. You actually sacrificed an innocent member of your clan for your own selfishness. How dare you say that?"

The more Luo Sheng thought about it, the angrier he became.

What is the difference between this and those bastard emperors in ancient times who, in order to maintain a corner of the country, gave their daughters to foreign countries in order to seek peace.

In the end, you still become someone else's lamb to be slaughtered.

What Luo Sheng appreciated even more was that the king did not pledge vengeance, did not pay tribute, and that the emperor would die for the country while the emperor would guard the national borders.

"Pooh!"

Luo Sheng even spat a mouthful of thick phlegm at him

Qin Jianjia, who was originally angry, sneered for some reason and glanced at Luo Sheng with a very helpless expression. It was obvious that she was amused by what he had just said.

This is simply cursing without using any dirty words.

Qin Shiyu, who had been extremely arrogant before, was stunned for a long while, then his face turned red and he looked very angry.

"You bastard, you keep making trouble. If it weren't for you, she wouldn't have grown so fast! I will definitely kill you with my own hands!"

Qin Shiyu gritted his teeth, that murderous look almost devoured him.

After hearing his words, Luo Sheng suddenly understood.

No wonder I have been targeted by him before.

It turned out that he knew that he had exchanged the Spirit Jade Refining Liquid with Qin Jianjia, which enabled her level to increase rapidly.

And the fragments of the world just now. With her help, Qin Jianjia successfully won the first place and obtained a bottle of quenching liquid.

In this way, Qin Jianjia's level will increase more rapidly, and it is estimated that within half a year, she will be able to reach the gold level.

Maybe, within the specified time limit, Qin Jianjia can reach the platinum level.

"Oh, I don't want to do that either, but if I don't help her, I'll be itching to do it." Luo Sheng smiled disdainfully, his tone full of arrogance.

Qin Shiyu looked at his provocative expression and felt extremely depressed. He said word by word, "You must die today!"

"Really? You are planning to kill your father. This is not good. It is extremely treasonous. Your father can only discipline you well." Luo Sheng also took off his mask and said.

There was a playful grin on his face, making him more villainous than the villain himself, like a cynical second-generation master.

She didn't care about his angry expression and looked eager to try.

Qin Jianjia's eyes were full of helplessness. She stepped lightly on Luo Sheng's foot and whispered, "Be serious. He is quite strong."
