Reborn as Xiao in another world, targeted by the little red bird

Chapter 311 Looking for a Steward

At the entrance of the "Yuanliu" branch, two guards were a little bored. Seeing that no one was approaching them on the street, they started chatting.

"Hey, did you hear the noises coming from the hot spring bathhouse when you came to work this morning?"

"I heard it, of course I heard it. There were a group of people screaming and shouting inside. I could hear it clearly from a long distance away. It was scary."

"I even ran into a guy running out of the mountain on the way. He looked like he had seen a ghost. I asked him what was going on, but he kept repeating 'the mountain god is angry' and ran away."

"Is the mountain god angry again? No, there was no earthquake today."

"That's what I said. Later on the road, I saw a lot of soldiers. It looks like something really happened."

"Hiss, I'm a little worried about my parents."

"My little brat likes to run around everywhere now. I don't know if my wife is keeping an eye on him today."

As they were chatting, the guard standing by the right side of the door felt someone patted his shoulder twice. He trembled and quickly closed his mouth, winked at his companion, bit his lip and turned his head, but only saw a strand of aardwolf. He lowered his eyes and found the boy who had just patted his shoulder.

This young man was none other than Xiao who had just jumped down from the roof.

He breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xiao carefully. He felt that the person in front of him was very unfamiliar. Seeing that the other party was not wearing the "Yuanliu" uniform, the corners of his mouth drooped immediately.

"You don't look like you're from here? Where did you get in from? Get out now."

It seemed that he was frightened by Xiao's sudden pat on his shoulder, so his tone was not good.

Xiao didn't care and went straight to the point and said, "I'm looking for the manager here."

The guard standing by the left side of the door also came over.

Strangers often come here and say they want to see the person in charge. Those who are finally allowed in are usually tall and strong, look strong, and wear exquisitely crafted armor.

After noticing this pattern, they verified it and finally found that there was not a single wrong rejection.

No matter how you look at it, this young man who came by unexpectedly was not the type who could get in.

The man in charge here has a strange temper, and they don't want to have too much contact with him, so they try to visit him less often.

"We only deal with the military here, not other matters. You have the wrong person, leave now."

"I am General Ye's subordinate."

Xiao didn't get angry and repeated what he had just said, but this time he revealed a little bit of his own aura to prove what he said.

Thanks to the master, his aura has the solemn and murderous feeling that only comes from years of fighting on the battlefield. Since this place only interacts with the army, the guards in front of him may be able to recognize this feeling.

He sighed secretly. It was really troublesome that he didn't have anything to prove his identity. In the past, his activities were not large-scale, so it was okay. But he was afraid that in the future, he would have to do such large-scale activities and he would have to find a way to collect some identity documents.

The moment they sensed the king-level aura, the two guards' expressions changed.

In fact, they could not distinguish the realm represented by this aura, nor did they notice any sense of solemnity. They just felt a strong sense of oppression and crisis from it.

They didn't know whether the young man in front of them was General Ye's subordinate, but he didn't look like one anyway. They only knew that he was not an ordinary idler in society. They only earned a few wages a day, so there was no way they could stop him!

"Okay, okay..." The guard closest to Xiao started running. The road was uneven and he tripped over a sharp rock protruding from the ground while running.

The remaining guard's eyes flickered back and forth between his running companion and Xiao.

He also wanted to run after him, away from this seemingly harmless young man who exuded a terrifying aura. But at least this young man had not shown any sign of wanting to harm him. On the contrary, if he left, there would be no one guarding the door. If his boss found out, he would definitely be punished.

Xiao looked at the guard who was trying to escape and report, then looked at the other guard who stayed here with his muscles tense, as if ready to run away at any time. He silently restrained his breath, feeling a little puzzled.

"Strange, am I that scary?"

"This is the nature of mortals. Don't take it too seriously." The voice of Green Goblin came from his mind.

Xiao subconsciously retorted: "They are not afraid of you, but the evil spirits that fell under your gun. They just lost their minds for a moment and didn't come to their senses."

Green Xiao was a little surprised by Xiao's reaction, but he didn't take it to heart.

"Ok, I know."

The topic ended here and my mind fell into silence.

Fortunately, the guard who went outside to report came back soon, and Xiao diverted his attention, so this unbearable atmosphere did not last long.

I don’t know if it’s because my ears have been quiet for too long, but Green Xiao suddenly missed that guy who was full of karma.

When he just woke up from his slumber, Red Xiao provoked him many times, and even prompted Xiao to mediate several times.

The result of the mediation was that Red Xiao gave in first.

He was the one who crossed the line first, so it was reasonable for him to give in first. But what puzzled Green Xiao was that sometimes Red Xiao would reveal a hint of sympathy in his eyes after giving in.

According to Hong Xiao, there had always been only two of them in this body, and suddenly another one appeared out of nowhere, which made him very unhappy.

Green Xiao also felt strange. If he was not mistaken, this body should indeed be his.

He had already made up his mind to die, but when he closed his eyes and opened them again, he was still alive. Not only that, but there were two extra consciousnesses in his head. Even though he had lived for more than two thousand years, he could not figure out what was going on.

After several rounds of mediation, Red Xiao seemed to not want to make things difficult for Xiao, so he restrained his edge and stopped targeting Green Xiao. Instead, he became curious about Green Xiao.

It was like a kitten playing with fire, tentatively stretching out its paw to touch the flame, then quickly retracting its hand and squatting aside to savor the experience.

The look of wanting to take the green Xiao apart and study him thoroughly inside and out to find some answer, but being afraid of alarming Xiao, so behaving cautiously, is even a bit... interesting.

In the end, Hong Xiao probably gave up, feeling like "You are all the cabbages I raise", as if he was the real owner of the body.

This is very different from the beings in Green Goblin's memory who are filled with karma.

He suddenly hoped that Red Goblin could recover soon and come out of the space that he could not enter.

On the other side, the guard who went to find the manager came back alone.

"Manager Wang... he is not at his usual duty station. Well, why don't you come next time? If it is very urgent, you can tell us first, and when Manager Wang comes back, we will pass the message on for you. What do you think?" The guard said with a smile.

"What about his next level?" Xiao thought for a moment and asked back.

If he asked the guard to hand it over now, then what was the point of him not choosing to have the soldiers outside the isolation tent deliver it in the first place?

He just wanted to confirm on the spot what this black fan-shaped sheet was. The black shadow he met before obtaining this thing, which could only be hurt by Hong Xiao's power, made him a little concerned. He couldn't meet it again next time, so he could only ask Hong Xiao for power, right?

He has a strong sense of boundaries.

"Well... yes, there are, but their status is not that high. They are responsible for supervising ordinary members on behalf of Manager Wang, and urging them not to be lazy when working. Only Manager Wang can make the decisions." The guard replied.

"Such a simple personnel composition?" Xiao was a little surprised.

He didn't give up. The fact that he was not on duty didn't necessarily mean he had gone out. He could also be hiding somewhere and taking a break.

Xiao closed his eyes, and the next moment, the aura of all the people around him appeared in his mind.

Soon, he opened his eyes again and looked towards the rows of one-story brick houses that were far away from the exit.

"What's that for?"

"That's where they rest. Of course, we have nothing to do with guarding the gate. I don't know what it looks like inside, hehe."

Xiao nodded and walked towards the row of brick houses.

Just now, he felt that there was only one breath in those rooms.

After Xiao walked away, the two guards looked at each other.

Among them there is a general who was a retired soldier. This kind of strength is quite good among the common people. People with strength and background know which force they are targeting and will not look down on their lives to find trouble.

Those who have no vision and knowledge are generally not big names, and their strength is enough to deal with it. They didn’t expect that a powerful person would jump out today.

"How to do?"

"Didn't the military say that if you encounter someone you can't solve the problem, you should contact them? Have you contacted them?"

"I'm right under his nose, how dare I? You're the one who left his sight, shouldn't you contact him?"

"I, I thought I could find the guy named Wang... now! There's still time to contact him now!"

"Yes! Quick!"
