Shura Field (Fake)
Xiao Cha walked out of the inn through the back door.
But after leaving the teahouse, he did not hide out of guilt, but walked on the road openly, looking here and there.
He doesn't look like he's looking for someone.
Xiao Cha walked up to the corner vendor, ran his fingers over the bamboo dragonfly, and watched the movements behind him with his peripheral vision.
Sure enough, it didn't take long before Liu Er sent people to follow him.
"Alas~"
"The source is at fault."
Song Liubai must change his way of observing criminals in the future. If it doesn't work, he should improve his tracking technology.
Xiao Cha reluctantly withdrew his hand and tapped his forehead.
However, what he didn't know was that Liu Er and his group were very good at disguise. Ordinary people couldn't tell them apart at all. Only Xiao Cha, the "honeycomb coal", could see through them.
Xiao Cha was thinking about something and didn't notice that the bamboo mantis in his hand had broken apart and suddenly fell apart in his hand.
“…”
"Customer, please watch..." The vendor rubbed his palms together and looked at Xiao Cha with stars in his eyes.
Xiao Cha touched his waist awkwardly. Song Liubai took his purse away when he went out, but he didn't care about it at the time. Now, he couldn't give the money when he really needed it.
Xiao Cha glanced behind him calmly with a sidelong glance. Liu Er was hiding in a corner of the crowd with a freshly baked pumpkin pie in his hand. If you looked closely, you really couldn't see him. Besides, 'Huai Zusu' hadn't arrived yet.
I ran away secretly, so how could I lose face and go back to my boss directly?
Xiao Cha silently withdrew his gaze, but shifted his attention to the "cute and amiable" vendor in front of him.
Forget it...what's the point of saving face?
Xiao Cha sighed and complained in his heart.
I just feel that after my rebirth, everything I encounter is too evil.
But before he could call out Liu Er, his sharp eyes suddenly caught sight of a familiar passerby.
Suddenly, an idea came to my mind.
"Customer, you don't forget to bring money, do you?" The vendor put his hands on his hips. Seeing that Xiao Cha was reluctant to pay, his tone was no longer as gentle as it was at the beginning.
"How could that be?" Xiao Cha patted the vendor's shoulder, turned and took a few steps back and bumped into Shangguan Qing who was passing by. He pretended to be careless and raised his eyes full of "pity".
Shangguan Qing was afraid that the young man in his arms would fall, so he almost subconsciously reached out to support him. When he saw the man's eyebrows and eyes, a sense of familiarity surged in his heart for some reason, and he ignored the small abnormality on his waist.
Xiao Cha touched the few copper coins in his hand, stood up with satisfaction, and raised an eyebrow at the vendor, "Here, copper coins."
The vendor hurriedly took it away, and his expression changed so quickly that Xiao Cha almost thought that the vendor who had just stood with his hands on his hips and was angry was a figment of his imagination.
"you……"
Shangguan Qing stared at the young man with a look of confusion and strangeness in his eyes.
This doubt was the origin of these copper coins. He had already realized how they were taken from him. As for the weirdness, it was the origin of that "familiar" feeling.
Xiao Cha didn't wait for Shangguan Qing to speak. He just glanced at the vendor and pulled him away.
The two walked side by side. Although they seemed very close at first glance, a closer look revealed an awkwardness emanating from them.
"Are you a cultivator of immortality?" Xiao Cha tilted his head and said slowly.
Shangguan Qing said nothing.
Xiao Cha ignored him and continued, "It's been quite lively here recently, with a lot of cultivators flocking here. I wonder..."
"Sir, do you need me to take care of the ants behind you?" Shangguan Qing's gentle voice abruptly interrupted Xiao Cha's words that were about to test the waters.
Xiao Cha's expression did not change, he just raised his eyelids and glanced at Shangguan Qing appropriately, as if he had pictured Shangguan Qing's appearance in his eyes, and he couldn't help but miss the noisy 'boy' of the past.
He shook his head, as if this would make him clearly realize that time has passed and he can no longer go back to the past.
"Never mind. The copper coins I just gave you are..."
"Yeah, I know."
Xiao Cha thought he had been very good at stealing, but he had been discovered. He scratched his neck awkwardly, relaxed his brows, and curled his lips slightly. "If that's the case, I won't bother you any further."
Xiao Cha stopped and leaned to the side. "I will definitely repay you double the copper coins I owe you next time we meet, Little Immortal Lord."
Shangguan Qing didn't know which word Xiao Cha said, but his expression froze for a moment, and he grabbed Xiao Cha's sleeve in an impulse.
Xiao Cha, who was about to leave, looked down with a puzzled look.
Why did this child suddenly change his attitude? Is he concerned about those copper coins?
Hiss~ That shouldn't happen. Hengyuan Sect has always given its disciples quite a bit of monthly salary...
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Cha looked up and happened to meet a pair of dark brown eyes with complicated emotions. Its owner was looking at him openly, as if he wanted to stare him through alive.
"Xiao Xianjun."
Shangguan Qing spoke word by word, as if he was reciting a book of life and death. His icy breath made Xiao Cha take a small step back.
Oh no... Could it be that he recognized me already?
Xiao Cha secretly bit the soft flesh in his mouth. Feeling guilty, he was about to force himself to look away, but at this moment he saw the uninvited guest he had been looking for appear behind Shangguan Qing.
“Pah.”
Huai Zusu clapped his hand on Shangguan Qing's shoulder. No one could clearly see his face beneath the bamboo hat. His tone was dignified yet somewhat nonchalant as he said, "It's not good to embarrass a 'child', Shangguan Qing?"
Shangguan Qing's face was filled with undisguised disdain and hostility. He raised his hand and slapped Huai Zusu's arm away. "Don't think that just because this is Liuli Sect's territory I won't dare touch you, Your Majesty the Demon King."
The two men looked at each other, neither giving in. The air was filled with the smell of gunfire, as if a fight was about to break out in the next second.
Xiao Cha blinked.
Because he didn't eat well in his childhood and didn't have time to grow taller, he stood between the two people, forming the shape of the Chinese character "kou".
Child?
Who are you talking about, me?
Why does Huai Zusu always do such irritating things?
In an unnoticed corner, Xiao Cha glared fiercely at Huai Zusu, and then his head began to ache. This scene made it difficult for both of them to control their tempers.
"You guys..." Xiao Cha raised his hand to indicate that he wanted to speak.
"Your Majesty, the Demon King has not yet secured the throne of his family, so he still needs to keep his tail between his legs in the human world."
"Don't bother Brother Shangguan to worry about this. Hehe, who else would dare to sit in the high position except me?"
"That..." Xiao Cha rubbed his brow helplessly.
"Oh, this seat isn't for people."
"Yes, I am a demon~"
Xiao Cha, who was interrupted again, closed his mouth and decided not to speak again, waiting for the two to finish speaking before speaking again.
The result is the next second.
The two people who seemed to be about to quarrel stopped at the same time, turned their heads and stared at the silent Xiao Cha with ambiguous eyes.
Xiao Cha: “…”
Forget it, these two... let’s send them to the hospital together.
