Chi Xiao stared at it for a long time, but finally shook his head in denial.
"Impossible. I must have seen wrong. No matter how presumptuous Ya is, she wouldn't be here without Tiger Commander's orders."
Chi Xiao has known Ya for quite some time and has a general understanding of Ya's personality.
Although the two hadn't had much contact or spoken much, Chixiao still had a certain understanding of Ya.
Without Tiger Commander's request, Ya rarely offered her own opinions. In addition, the great explosion in the northern border had just occurred, and Ya was responsible for continuing to pursue the remaining enemy troops.
How could Ya possibly be here at such an important moment?
Chi Xiao shook his head again: "I must be seeing things. Yan Province is so far from the Northern Frontier. Even if Ya really came, she couldn't possibly arrive before me. It's probably just a mistaken dizziness caused by my rush to get here."
There are many similar people in this world, and it is normal to make a mistake. With this certainty, Chi Xiao withdrew his gaze and left.
He has important things to do now; he didn't come to Yan Province for sightseeing.
Tiger Commander's important instructions naturally had to be placed first in my mind.
He put a lot of effort into this matter.
Now that we understand the situation and the details, the most important thing right now is not to immediately carry out the task, but to seek a safer approach for the earrings.
Sang Yi's failure stemmed from his arrogance and his habits.
The methods used against Luo Chen, if prolonged, would undoubtedly be disadvantageous to him.
Give the opponent a chance to retaliate.
Moreover, after understanding the situation...
Sang Yi failed simply because he had no helpers by his side.
If Sang Yi had had a few more, or even just one, helpers by his side back then, the situation would have been completely reversed.
It would never be as pathetic as it is now.
And they can leave without any problems.
What Chixiao needs to do now is to find helpers to make his plans more secure.
Chi Xiao's departure went unnoticed by other passersby, and he didn't care who noticed.
In addition, he is inconspicuous, making it difficult for others to notice his presence.
With his mid-stage Transcendent Realm strength, he was like a superman when facing ordinary people.
He can be the king here if he so desires.
Martial artists... are just that domineering.
Ice cream shop.
The girl in the baseball cap glanced out the window casually, her gaze indifferent and aimless, making it impossible to tell whether she had noticed anything.
She glanced at it lightly, then continued to eat the sundae on the table with relish, her face full of happiness.
The white-haired, emotionless girl sitting opposite her was oblivious to everything around her; even if she sensed something, it wasn't as important as the sundae in front of her.
I must say, it was really delicious.
I'd like to keep trying.
[...]
Unknowingly, I found myself back at the place where I had visited with Ling Qingyi last time.
I arrived at the stall where I won a food voucher last time and popped up balloons.
The carpet shop owner's smile froze and gradually faded the moment he saw Luo Chen.
He couldn't forget the shadow of that time, nor could he forget the other party's pretense of being a wolf in sheep's clothing.
and……
This rich young master, who posed a great threat to his good looks, has changed the woman by his side again.
She is also considered to be of the highest caliber in terms of beauty.
The boss's heart began to sour, and he looked at Luo Chen with increasing resentment.
Seeing that disgusted expression even after the sticker was applied, the boss's resentment undoubtedly deepened.
If it were him, how could he bear to push the beauty away?
With such good looks and luck, one should certainly make good use of it, showing concern and care, and fulfilling one's desires.
If the other party runs away because of this, wouldn't that be a loss and a waste?
Unfortunately, things did not go as expected.
The more you refuse, the tighter they stick to you.
Shouldn't a goddess be someone who feigns indifference and maintains a cool, aloof demeanor?
How did it suddenly turn out the other way around?
However, this situation did not last long, simply because Luo Chen could not withstand Ye Xiaoli's persistent pleading.
He picked up the air gun again and charged at the pile of trembling balloons.
As expected.
Even with this upgrade, the air gun still couldn't hinder Luo Chen's performance.
All the balloons are gone.
The boss was heartbroken and tears streamed down his face.
They won applause over there, and Ye Xiaoli's face was full of admiration.
[...]
At the foot of a slightly dilapidated residential building.
Edge of the road.
Two men, who looked like brothers, were sitting on the curb.
Passersby would occasionally stare at them with strange looks. If they hadn't done something out of line, they probably would have called the police, wondering if the two were up to something bad.
This is because these two have been here for quite some time.
"Big brother, how much longer are we going to stay here?"
Li Laoliu, who hadn't appeared for a long time, looked exhausted and stared blankly at the passersby.
The two brothers have been here recently, without doing any side jobs, and they've run out of money.
The woman who had finally managed to hook up with Number Eight lost her enthusiasm because Li Laoliu couldn't take care of her, and turned to someone else.
This greatly discouraged Li Laoliu; if it weren't for Li Laoba's constant persuasion to prioritize the overall situation...
They are unlikely to be here now.
Upon hearing this, Li Laoba did not immediately answer his younger brother's question. Instead, he reached into his pocket and took out a cigarette case.
However, there were no cigarettes left in the pack, depriving Li Laoba of the opportunity to appear profound.
Li Laoba brought the cigarette pack close to his nose, took a deep sniff, then crumpled the pack and casually tossed it aside.
Seeing this, Li Laoliu's craving for a cigarette also kicked in, and he smacked his lips.
But in his pocket, there wasn't a single cigarette, not even a cigarette pack.
Left with no other option, they had to focus their efforts on the road surface.
Coincidentally, there was a cigarette that was half-smoked right next to him.
Upon seeing the cigarette, Li Laoliu picked it up, a thoughtful expression on his face.
Although the concept of protecting the environment is now widely accepted and everyone has a responsibility to do so, there are always some people who cannot truly achieve perfection.
The owner of this cigarette probably didn't want to just throw it away on the street; there must be some unspeakable reason behind it.
After all, there's still half the distance to go, and such a wasteful act naturally won't be started casually.
Instantly, images flashed through Li Laoliu's mind.
In the picture, the owner of this cigarette must have encountered some difficulties and had to light a cigarette to relieve anxiety.
Judging from the marks left on the filter and the fact that it hadn't been smoked much, it's clear that the owner of this cigarette wasn't a heavy smoker and was just using it to relieve his worries.
Moreover, they still have good manners; otherwise, why would there still be half left?
Adding a filter tip simply means squeezing it tightly; there are no bite marks.
So this cigarette is worth trying.
Li Laoliu didn't care what brand of cigarettes it was.
He simply wants to understand how the owner of that cigarette felt at the time.
With a snap.
Flames ignited.
Li Laoba's gaze was drawn over.
Before Li Laoba could even ask where the cigarette came from...
Li Laoliu immediately burst into a tirade, spitting disgustedly, "Damn it, they actually eat garlic!"
