Xu Chi also earned his father's position as Right Protector through his own abilities, and Min Liang is about to take over.
Such an important matter naturally needs to be reported to Yaoyao.
Yao Yao scoffed, "That group of people, always clamoring to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path, it's been over a decade and they're still like rats, too afraid to take action. But... this sudden rumor must be fueled by someone behind the scenes. If we follow the net we cast before, are we afraid we won't be able to catch them?"
Then, looking at Xu Chi jokingly, he said, "Speaking of which, Xu Chi, you're 20 already. Why haven't you found a woman you like yet? Your godparents are really looking forward to you holding your grandson."
After becoming the young master, Yao Yao recognized Xu Zhan and Meng Lan as her adoptive parents.
As they grew up, they naturally didn't call each other as intimately as when they were children. They called each other Achi along with Min Liang, which was affectionate but not clingy.
Xu Chi's body stiffened slightly for a moment. "I'm still young, and besides, I already have a woman I like."
Upon hearing this, Yao Yao immediately perked up. "Does Achi have a woman he likes? Is she a martial arts figure?"
In all these years, I've never seen Xu Chi show any interest in any woman. I'm starting to wonder if he met her while on a mission.
Xu Chi's eyes dimmed. "No...it's within the sect."
"Hmm? From within the sect?" Yao Yao was a little suspicious. She knew everyone in the sect well, and she hadn't seen Xu Chi show any interest in any girl.
"Young Master, you should rest early. I'll take my leave now." Seeing Yao Yao's appearance, Xu Chi's tone instantly turned cold.
Okay, watching Xu Chi's indignant departure, she was completely bewildered. "What... what happened? Didn't he catch up with him yet?"
"He definitely didn't catch up, otherwise he would be so angry. Sigh, I should have known better than to reopen old wounds."
001, who was just watching the drama unfold... People had always said he had low emotional intelligence, but now he really should show those people what true low emotional intelligence looks like.
Compared to Yao Yao, 001 felt that her emotional intelligence was already very high...
At this moment, the Alliance Leader's mansion was filled with singing and dancing, a scene of unparalleled luxury.
Liang Gou embraced the beautiful woman beside him, his eyes clouded. "Tsk, Brother Qi, what a brilliant plan! As expected, those people in the martial world have turned their attention to the Demonic Sect. We can then reap the benefits. What a brilliant scheme!"
The man addressed as Brother Qi smiled faintly and said, “No matter how good my plans are, I am ultimately outnumbered and outmatched. I still have to rely on your connections, sir.”
This statement not only implies that he himself is weak and that even if he finds the treasure, he will not be able to seize it from him, but also subtly suggests that he is very powerful.
Upon hearing this, Liang Gou, who was already slightly tipsy, was naturally delighted. "Haha, Brother Qi, don't be modest. I owe this much to you. I will never forget you when I get the treasure."
Qi Yun flattered him outwardly, but subtly curled the corners of his mouth, thinking, "Ha, fool."
He thought he could reap the benefits without lifting a finger, but in reality... he was just a pawn in his game.
After the banquet ended, Qi Yun returned to his room and asked the shadowy figure, "How was it?"
At this moment, a person stepped out, half-kneeling and clasping his hands in a fist salute. "Miss Qing has gradually gained Liang Gou's favor. In addition, Liang Gou is now indulging in women day and night, and is only outwardly strong but inwardly weak. Moreover, our people have gradually infiltrated the Alliance Leader's Mansion. Sooner or later, this place will be ours."
Qi Qi looked up and met Qi Yun's eyes.
"Hmph," Qi Yun said, standing by the window with his hands behind his back. "This world will eventually be returned to the name of my Qi Kingdom."
