But I didn't expect that this poor young man also had it!
After a moment's thought, the village chief said, "I've heard that there's a prominent family in Shengyuan Country, surnamed Dongfang. Thanks to their ancestors' influence, their wealth is immense. It's no exaggeration to say they're as wealthy as a nation! Could it be that you're a member of that Dongfang family?"
Hearing this, Helian Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "I... can't be considered."
The village chief frowned and asked, "Why?"
Helian Sheng seemed to want to say something, but he looked at Shuiniu and the Fourth Master who were standing beside him.
The village chief understood his concerns, and looked at Shuiniu and the fourth leader and said, "You two go out and wait!"
Shuiniu and the fourth leader also wanted to listen, but since the village chief said so, they had no choice but to leave.
Seeing this, Helian Sheng also said to Duan Qingxi: "Xiao Qi, you get out too."
Duan Qingxi: ...What the hell is Xiaoqi?
But since Helian Sheng said so, Duan Qingxi had no choice but to follow him out.
After going out, she was pulled aside by the buffalo, where the fourth in command was waiting for them.
The Fourth Master carefully looked Duan Qingxi up and down, and asked with disdain, "Who is your master?"
Duan Qingxi knew they were trying to get some information out of her, but the problem was that Helian Sheng hadn't spoken to her in advance. Worried that they would be exposed during a confrontation, she could only smile bitterly and said, "This... I don't know!"
Buffalo said angrily, "How dare you say you don't know?! Isn't that your master?! How could you not know?!"
Duan Qingxi explained, "I... I only became your servant halfway through. When I discovered him, he was already being hunted. I was all alone, and the young master felt sorry for me, and since I was being targeted by those assassins, he took me with him and fled."
This doesn't sound very true, but it's also true.
If you think about it carefully, if it weren't for Duan Qingxi, Helian Sheng might have really died.
The Fourth Master didn't know whether he believed her or not. He looked at her for a long time before asking, "What's your name?"
Duan Qingxi said, "I don't have a name. People used to call me Gouzi, but then the young master thought it sounded too ugly, so he named me Xiaoqi."
Dog?
Shuiniu thought that this name was not bad and it matched his name well!
The fourth boss tried to probe her a few more times, and after finding out that Duan Qingxi really knew nothing and looked stupid, he stopped asking.
About half an hour later, the village chief came out with a complicated expression, which made Duan Qingxi feel uneasy.
I don’t know what Helian Shengcai said to him that made the village chief look so indescribable.
After standing at the door for a long time, the village chief looked at Shuiniu and said, "From now on, you must take good care of this Dongfang Master! There is no need to neglect him!"
Shuiniu was stunned for a moment, obviously not understanding why the village chief did this.
But since it was his order, the buffalo had no choice but to say respectfully, "Yes! I understand!"
Before leaving, the village chief gave Duan Qingxi a complicated look and instructed, "Take good care of your young master. If you need anything, feel free to come to me!"
Duan Qingxi was also confused, but nodded.
After they all left, he rushed into the house.
I just happened to see the man slowly putting on the mask.
Unfortunately, she was a step too late and the mask was already on her face, otherwise she could have taken a look at how ugly this bastard looked.
After closing the door and making sure no one was eavesdropping, Duan Qingxi quickly walked over to Helian Sheng and asked in a low voice, "What did you say to the village chief? Why did he ask someone to take extra care of us as soon as he left, as if he still cared about you?"
The man raised his lips slightly and said, "Nothing. He just said something that he has been trying to verify but couldn't."
