Qi Jiu didn't speak, but nodded.
As the patrol team approached, she reached up and pressed her baseball cap down, lowering her head so that those around her couldn't see her face.
"Hello, Brother Wuchi!"
"Brother Wuchi!"
"..."
"Brother Wuchi, who is this? Could he be your..." The patrol captain looked at the person next to Wuchi whose face he couldn't see clearly and asked subconsciously.
Although I don't know who she is, judging from her general build, she should be a woman.
Wu Chi whispered, "Shut up! Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. This is the master's guest! You should know what you should and shouldn't say! Stop making trouble!"
Seeing Wu Chi's serious expression, the patrol team leader immediately shut his mouth, realizing he had said the wrong thing, and quickly led his team away.
Qi Jiu returned to her own main building with ease. As soon as she entered, two men and a woman rushed up to her.
"Wu Chi! Where have you been? I couldn't find you all afternoon!"
"Huh? Who's this? A girl?"
Upon hearing that it was a girl, Wu Mei became anxious. "You brat! Don't you know you can't bring just anyone here! Don't you know where you are?!"
"Exactly! Even if you have someone you like, you can't bring them here! Not even other members of the organization are allowed in!"
Wu Chi: "..."
Go ahead and say it. If you get carried away, you'll get beaten up.
"Why aren't you saying anything... Master, Master!"
Seeing that Wu Chi remained silent, Wu Mei was furious and subconsciously reached out and ripped off Qi Jiu's baseball cap.
This action caused Qi Jiu's face to be suddenly exposed to the air, and Wu Mei was dumbfounded. She stared at the person in front of her, her hands frozen in mid-air.
The word 'master' was like poison, instantly infuriating Wu Wang and Wu Liang who were standing nearby.
"master……"
"master."
Wu Mei looked at the person smiling at her, then glanced at the baseball cap on the ground, and for the first time felt that she was so close to death.
"Master... I didn't mean it, I didn't know it was you..."
Qi Jiu didn't speak, but opened her palm in front of Wu Mei.
Seeing this action, Wu Mei immediately understood. She shakily picked up the black baseball cap from the ground, patted off the dust, and carefully placed it back into Qi Jiu's hand.
Is she still there?
"Huh? Ah! Yes, she's still here!"
Upon hearing the name 'her,' the four brothers next to her immediately realized who it referred to, and the other three also understood why Qi Jiu had come here.
How has she been lately?
Wu Mei's expression was not good: "Arrogant! Very arrogant! Anyone who didn't know better would think that she had the final say here! Doesn't she know who she is! She's causing a huge mess in the organization."
Qi Jiu nodded: "What has she been doing lately? Talking with people from the West?"
Wu Wang stepped forward and handed her several sheets of paper. "Yes, go to the west whenever you have time. I've been there countless times recently."
“She wants my place.” Qi Jiu looked at the red wine on the table, a strange smile playing on her lips. “She wants to replace me and become the master here.”
The two declarative sentences frightened the four demons and monsters so much that they lowered their heads and dared not utter a sound.
"The final cooperation will be finalized the day after tomorrow."
"yes."
The girl waved her hand, "Never mind her for now, let her be." Having tasted sweetness, bitterness would be etched into her memory forever.
Such a large main building with so many rooms, yet only five of them live there.
Qi Jiu returned to her room and charged her phone, which had long since run out of battery. As soon as she turned it on, she saw over 20 missed calls.
She raised an eyebrow, about to call back, when the phone rang again. Looking at the contact name flashing on the screen, she instinctively answered and held the phone to her ear.
"President Qi?"
There was a two-second silence on the other end. "Why didn't you answer the phone earlier?"
"My phone was dead. I forgot to charge it. I just saw it. I was just about to call you back when you called again."
As soon as he finished speaking, a long sigh came from the other end of the phone. "I have some things to do recently, so I probably won't be able to go to Xingyue to discuss cooperation. I'm sorry."
"It's nothing." Unfortunately, she also had something to do.
Perhaps sensing Qi Jiu's weariness, Qi Silin frowned. "Where...are you?"
Qi Jiu looked at the pitch-black surroundings outside, her face remaining calm and composed, and said, "At home."
...
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries before hanging up the phone.
She looked at her phone, which had returned to normal, and nodded.
The next day, Qi Jiu, unusually, did not go out for her morning exercise. She looked at the clock on the wall, and when the hands pointed to ten, she put on a hat and a black mask and left the room.
"Master." Wu Mei was already waiting at the door.
Where are they?
Wu Mei lowered her head. "Still in the fighting arena."
Fighting arena?
Qi Jiu laughed. She's so bad at close combat, how dare she go to the fighting arena?
After leaving the main building, the two of them headed towards the back of the manor. There, they saw a semi-circular building that occupied a considerable area.
Qi Jiu and Wu Mei went inside without the slightest hesitation.
As soon as I entered, I was greeted by a cacophony of voices and noise everywhere.
"Hit him! Hit him!"
"quick!"
"Quick! Get up! Hurry! Don't give up!"
"..."
As the distance closed, the scene before my eyes came into view.
On the high platform in the center stood a muscular man, raising flags with both hands and cheering to the crowd, as if he were the king of the arena.
At his feet lay a person convulsing, with bloodstains on the ground.
It looks like he lost.
Qi Jiu touched the brim of her baseball cap and pulled it up slightly. Her dark eyes swept over the two people on the stage before turning their gaze to the surrounding audience.
They quickly narrowed it down to one person.
The woman had a Western appearance with deep-set features and long, wavy blonde hair that hung down to her sides. At that moment, she was cheering just like the man on stage.
He seemed even happier than the person who won the fight.
"Found him." The culprit.
"Without charm."
"master?"
Qi Jiu pointed to the person on the stage who hadn't gotten up yet, "That person, I remember, is a newcomer. And him..."
As the finger moved, it pointed towards the victor, "He is Tilina's man."
Wu Mei nodded. "Yes, Tilina's close-quarters combat is not strong. Her weakness becomes something that others can surpass, so she is not satisfied and is now looking for someone to fight in the arena to prove her status."
As she spoke, Wu Mei shook her head with a hint of disdain, "Hypocritical."
