Chapter 54 Chapter 54 Hi, wife!
As soon as Xu Zhaoyi left, noodles started screaming like a groundhog in Qin Sheng's mind.
Qin Sheng was originally confused, but after being frightened by it, all his complicated thoughts disappeared.
[Stop yelling.] He rubbed his temples and threw himself onto the sofa in the bedroom.
He realized that he seemed to have pissed off Xu Zhaoyi, but he still hadn't figured out why the other party was suddenly angry. Was the reason he gave ridiculous?
If this reason is considered absurd, then what kind of mentality did Xu Zhaoyi have during this period of time when he allowed himself to invade his safe distance and forcibly wear down his resistance to close contact with the same sex?
One thing that can be confirmed is that Xu Zhaoyi must have felt that the reason of desensitization was not commensurate with the patience he had endured over the past few days, and it was extremely disproportionate. Otherwise, with Xu Zhaoyi's personality, he would not have been so angry that he would have lost his mind and used this method to get back at his superiors.
Qin Sheng touched his mouth with lingering fear.
So the question is, what was the reason why Xu Zhaoyi originally thought and could accept that I hugged him every day?
He couldn't think of it, but he knew it was best not to ask directly, lest he risk another angry attack from his wife.
When Qin Sheng applied medicine on his lips miserably and took the ointment to find Xu Zhaoyi, he found that he was the only living person left in the whole villa. His wife had actually left the house without even saying goodbye to him, which was unprecedented.
“Where did he go?” he asked Noodles.
Noodles checked the surveillance footage and said to him, "He took Raphael and the others to the Southern Transmission Center. He left a note for you on the conference table in the small attic over there."
"If you don't even remind me, what's the point of you?" Qin Sheng thought this was a bit ridiculous: "What if there's a thief in our house one day? I'm afraid you'll wait for me to ask where all our valuables are, and then you'll slowly tell me that they were all stolen last night."
[If I judged you couldn't beat the thief, then I certainly wouldn't have woken you up. Wouldn't that have harmed you?] Noodles has its own set of AI logic: [For example, my algorithm determined that even if I had reminded you just now, you wouldn't have tried to keep your little dad, so I didn't proactively say anything.]
Qin Sheng choked. He really didn't know how to do it, but when did noodles become so smart?
[Have you adjusted your IQ?]
Noodles snorted, "I wouldn't do something like this secretly. This is just a basic procedure. I won't proactively inform the host of things I don't consider urgent. Otherwise, you'll hear me reporting all the information I can monitor in your ear every moment of every day!"
Qin Sheng found it a bit amusing to listen to its righteous words, and couldn't help but expose it: "So, what do you usually eat when you act cute and coquettish...?"
[That's another function.] Noodles' voice suddenly dropped thirty points in decibels: [Hey! You still wouldn't understand even if I told you about our AI!]
Qin Sheng shook his head and ignored its attempt to save face.
He walked to the small attic over there and took the note Xu Zhaoyi had given him, which said that he planned to stay in Nanchuan as Su Cizhao during this period of time to prevent the Qin family from sending people to hunt down Feng Lili and he would not be able to arrive in time.
The reason was high-sounding, and the words were so powerful that they almost penetrated the back of the paper. Qin Sheng hissed and felt that the situation was tricky.
We have to find a way to coax her.
On the other side, when Xu Zhaoyi and his group returned to the new headquarters of Nanchuan, Li Jiaya discovered that Xu Zhaoyi had a small wound on his lip, which was not there last night. It looked quite fresh and the bleeding seemed to have just stopped.
"Wow, this is a bit too spicy!" She looked at Xu Zhaoyi and sighed boldly: "I thought you were reserved in this kind of thing, but it turns out you can be very passionate when you can't control yourself, no different from most lovers I know."
“………”The difference is quite big. He and Qin Sheng are in a half-true, half-false engagement and play the role of half-true, half-false lovers - the engagement is fake but it is a real blessing from heaven and earth, the relationship is fake but the intimacy and care in private are real.
In a nutshell, it is unclear and ambiguous. One feels guilty when calling them lovers, and unwilling to call them friends.
Xu Zhaoyi felt uncomfortable with her teasing and pursed his lips subconsciously, which caused the wound to hurt and he frowned. Tsk, he was too impulsive this morning.
Qin Sheng's recovery ability is not as good as his, and I don't know if he applied medicine after I left.
In fact, he was not as angry as Qin Sheng thought. The reason why he was impulsive in the morning was more because he was overwhelmed by anger. After realizing what he had done, he really didn't know how to face the embarrassing situation, so he slipped away.
Although escaping is shameful, it is useful.
Xu Zhaoyi touched his lips and sighed softly. Qin Sheng didn't seem to want to go any further. He couldn't force others to discuss relationship issues with him before the survival crisis was resolved. Thinking of this, he was no longer angry at all.
Feng Lili brought all the people from Nanchuan back on a chartered plane. The trip was quite high-profile, and coupled with the resumption of business, the Qin family received the news within a few days.
The Taoist in black who was sent to kill Feng Lili last time ended up finding the wrong person and was knocked unconscious by Qin Sheng from behind, in order to avenge his previous shame, volunteered this time. Qin An, the housekeeper of the Qin family, always felt that he was unreliable.
"Have you figured out who attacked you last time?" Qin An asked him. "He was able to appear behind you silently, so his cultivation must be much higher than yours. If he's here this time, have you thought about how to deal with him?"
The Taoist in black naturally didn't think about anything, and his turbid old eyes were filled with pure malice and stupidity.
Qin An didn't even bother to look at him.
"She dared to come back, she must have something else to rely on. This matter has dragged on for too long. She dared to attack our Qin family's eldest young master. It would have been fine if she had just escaped, but she dared to come back so brazenly. We were simply provoked!"
Because of some previous incidents, Qin An was anxious to ease the relationship with Qin Sheng, so he finally decided: "I will go there in person."
His cultivation level was at the fifth level of Qi Refining, which was quite impressive in the entire cultivation circle. Therefore, he was very confident that if he personally took action and used a sledgehammer to crack a nut, Qin Sheng would definitely be able to sense his goodwill.
Qin Sheng did feel it, because when he took out the Blazing Golden Fan and was personally adding some special effects to the weapon, intending to use it to please his wife, his wife suddenly connected with him using the Lingxi Ring.
[Qin Sheng.]
[Um, wife?]
[………]? ? ? !
As soon as the careless word "wife" came out, Qin Sheng realized that he was in trouble.
The truth is that this inappropriate name has always been used as a nickname in his mind, and he has become accustomed to it. As a result, this time he was absent-minded and danced directly in front of the real owner.
[Ahem, slip of the tongue, never mind.] He explained dryly, feeling annoyed. It was true that being careless at any time was a bad idea. Xu Zhaoyi had been upset for several days, and this was the first time he had contacted him. Now, his crime was compounded.
Xu Zhaoyi was both angry and amused on the other end: [What do you plan to do if I mind?]
[Just coax her! What else can I do?] Qin Sheng also knew that there was really no room for quibbling with the word "wife", so he just gave up.
[Oh, let's get down to business!] Xu Zhaoyi chuckled: [The person the Qin family sent this time is your arrogant butler. I remember you called him Uncle An. Is he your old master's confidant?]
[Why is he here?] Qin Sheng was a little surprised. He frowned and asked: [You confronted him?]
[No, I was worried he'd recognize me. Raphael is a level above him, so I can easily defeat him. I just finished off the other minions he brought with him.]
No matter whether there are people under the Qin family who are not so deserving of death, they are enemies after all. It is a life-and-death situation, and Xu Zhaoyi will not show mercy.
Xu Zhaoyi was still very cautious: [Can I kill your Uncle An? If not, it’s best not to let him see me.]
Qin An is different from other thugs of the Qin family. His identity allows him to freely enter and exit any place in the Qin family's house and have close contact with the masters of the Qin family. Once he finds out that Su Cizhao and Xu Zhaoyi are the same person, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Qin Sheng didn't immediately answer whether or not he could. Instead, he analyzed the situation with him: "There are two options. The first is to kill him. This would lead to a consequence: the Qin family would lose face and be forced into a life-and-death struggle with Su Cizhao and the Nan Chuan clan behind him. The second is to not kill him, but to seriously injure him and let him escape. The Qin family will still send people to test you, but they will be more cautious. If they find you difficult to deal with, given Qin Kangnian's personality, they will probably give up the pursuit and try to bribe you instead."
[In the former case, I'll let him fight to the death. I can use this opportunity to deplete the Qin family's manpower.] Xu Zhaoyi was also weighing the pros and cons: [In the latter case, I'll take advantage of the situation and win him over, then defeat him from within.]
Qin Sheng made his choice immediately after hearing this: [Kill him. The latter option is unacceptable. Your acting skills are too poor. Even if you disguise your appearance, you will definitely be recognized.]
Xu Zhaoyi: [………]Take a deep breath.
Wasn't this person really trying to piss him off on purpose? It all started with the word "wife."
Does he still remember that I bit his lip?
On the other side, Qin An was fighting with Raphael. Raphael knew a lot of unconventional martial arts, but Qin An was no pushover either. Many of his orthodox Taoist spells could restrain evil spirits, but Raphael was blessed with spiritual water and was one level higher than Qin An. It didn't take long for him to fall into a disadvantage and he wanted to retreat.
But he was destined not to leave today. Xu Zhaoyi walked out of the darkness wearing a silver mask and blocked his retreat.
He watched quietly as Qin An gradually became more and more miserable, recalling the contempt and disdain he saw in Qin An's eyes when Qin Sheng first brought him back to the Qin family.
Even though Qin Sheng's obedience tests on the Qin family became increasingly excessive and never failed, Qin An realized that Qin Sheng's status was not as simple as relying on the sympathy of his elders. His attitude became extremely flattering, and Xu Zhaoyi could also notice that there was always a lingering contempt in his eyes for Qin Sheng's inability to practice.
When I think about the Qin family's current glory, I realize that Qin An's power was built on the premise of sacrificing Qin Sheng. When I think about Qin Sheng's icy body temperature that night in the hot spring...
He signaled Raphael to move aside with his eyes, formed a seal with his five fingers, and flames spread around the two of them. Then he teleported forward, and the silver needle in his palm carried the sparks into Qin An's heart. Under Qin An's desperate gaze, he took off his mask, smiled at him, and appreciated his last moment of fear before feeling satisfied.
[Can I hang him up at the Qin family's front door?] Xu Zhaoyi's voice was filled with a hint of eagerness.
[No.] Qin Sheng didn't expect it to be over so quickly, but come to think of it, an eighth-level Qi Refining warrior fighting a fifth-level Qi Refining warrior, unless he talks a lot before the fight like a villain, it would be a one-shot fight.
He listened to Xu Zhaoyi's words and sternly refused: "Don't get too cocky, my... cough, fiancé, if there was only one old man who had reached the half-step foundation building stage, you could just run away if you couldn't defeat him. The problem is that the Qin family has several ancestors who had reached the foundation building stage still alive. They're all antiques that have survived from the Qing Dynasty!"
Unless you bring noodles and have the guarantee of teleportation, you will be caught by following your breath no matter where you go.
[Okay, then where should I throw it?] Xu Zhaoyi curled his lips, not bothering to ask Qin Sheng if he wanted to call her his wife again. He just let him be. In his opinion, between them, Qin Sheng could only gain the upper hand with words.
Qin Sheng was just about to coax him back home, but when he heard that, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he said, "I have an idea that will have the same effect as hanging Qin An back at the Qin family's gate, but without the danger."
What's your idea?
[You hang him at the gate of our manor.]
[…You don’t think it’s unlucky!]
[What's so unlucky about this? This is a happy event.]
[Anyway, don’t.]
Xu Zhaoyi couldn't understand Qin Sheng's train of thought. Who would want to hang a dead old vegetable stalk on their doorstep? To prevent Qin Sheng from giving up, he reluctantly said, "Forget it, do a good deed and bury him. The Qin family should have known the outcome before he returned."
Qin Sheng sighed rather artificially.
[…If you really want to do that, give me a plausible reason.] Xu Zhaoyi found that he couldn't bear to disappoint Qin Sheng.
Although he was sure that Qin Sheng was pretending to be pitiful.
Qin Sheng could hear his tone soften, and couldn't help but laugh. He confessed, "There's no real reason. I just wanted you to come back and hang someone up, and go home at the same time."
[………]Xu Zhaoyi was stunned. He had even silently found more than a dozen excuses for Qin Sheng in his heart.
I never thought it would be... just because of this.
Xu Zhaoyi covered his chest in confusion. Was he being seduced by Qin Sheng?
[So can you come back?]
Qin Sheng's gentle and smiling voice rang out from the bottom of his heart again. Xu Zhaoyi felt as if his chest was pounding, and he almost couldn't help but take off the Lingxi ring.
[No!] Xu Zhaoyi was filled with regret.
Qin Sheng was simply asking questions even though he already knew the answer. He did want to go back, but he had just killed Qin An and completely offended the Qin family. How could he just leave now?
[Okay, then be careful over there. The people the Qin family will send next time will definitely be stronger. Don't take it lightly. Do you understand?]
[…knew. ]
Xu Zhaoyi forced himself to suppress the urge to let Qin Sheng live here. This place was not suitable for Qin Sheng, who was weak and helpless. He had to deal with the Qin family members who might appear at any time, and there would always be times when he was too busy to handle them. He couldn't let Qin Sheng take risks.
After trying hard to comfort himself, Xu Zhaoyi calmed down and arranged with Feng Lili for people to clean up the mess. He also held an impromptu meeting and distributed a batch of spiritual water to the Southern Chuan members who had contributed tonight, which was like a shot in the arm for everyone.
There is still some pressure in dealing with the Qin family, and we have to give them enough benefits.
Xu Zhaoyi was busy until late at night before returning to his room. He thought that no one from the Qin family would come tonight. He could actually take the opportunity to go back, but Qin Sheng would probably be asleep by this time, so there was no point in going back...
Unexpectedly, when he opened the door, the lights in the room were on, and the person he was thinking about appeared before him.
Qin Sheng was playing with a golden fan. When he heard the sound of the door opening, he looked towards the entrance.
"Hi, wife!"
