EBE Chapter 117: Choosing the wrong person?
Chapter 117: Choosing the wrong person?
When Si Yunzhou and his companion arrived at the conference room, they found that the men in black who had fought with him last night were also there.
But now there are only three men in black in the meeting hall, and they are also wearing masks like them. It seems that wearing masks has become popular in the town recently, and you can see all kinds of people wearing masks when you go out.
Pei Cangli stared at one of the men in black and suddenly remembered that she seemed to hear someone call her Little White Flower last night.
Could it be that Xuan Shang was also among them? Thinking of this, Pei Cangli conveyed his guess to Si Yunzhou.
Si Yunzhou thought about it for a moment and guessed that it was most likely Xuan Shang who fought with him last night. This made sense, and why they actually stopped in the end.
It must be that Xuan Shang recognized Cangli through contact with her, which is why he finally stopped.
Xuan Shang felt a little unhappy as he watched the interaction between the two people opposite him. Little White Flower also sent a message to the man surnamed Si, telling him his guess.
According to the servant just now, the two of them have been sleeping in the same room these days, which really makes him jealous.
He snorted in dissatisfaction, and now everyone in the room looked at him. Mingfeng was sitting in the first seat, and when he heard the lord's snort, he felt a little panicked.
My Lord, why don't you just sit here yourself? Are you trying to kill me by humphing like that?
The head of the Qian family looked suspiciously at Xuan Shang, the imposing subordinate, and asked, "Are you not satisfied with the food of our Qian family?"
Xuan Shang ignored him and just kept looking at Pei Cangli and the others. Ming Feng had no choice but to explain, "I have a little temper, please don't be offended."
Xuan Shang didn't care about that and said directly, "Master Qian, should we introduce the two people on the opposite side? We had a fight last night due to a misunderstanding."
When Qian Sanwan saw that Ming Feng, who was sitting in the first seat, did not react, he knew that this was what he wanted to know, so he asked this subordinate to help find out.
So he said, "This is Brother Zhou Yunsi, and next to him is his junior fellow Brother Li Cangpei, both of them are distinguished guests of our Qian family."
Xuan Shang said in an ambiguous tone, "It's actually my junior brother?"
"Seeing how desperately fellow Daoist Zhou was fighting last night, I was wondering who fell into the river?"
The head of the Qian family hurriedly explained, "Fellow Daoist Zhou and Fellow Daoist Li came down the mountain on the orders of the master, so they naturally have to take care of each other."
"Since Fellow Daoist Li is also a cultivator, how come he almost drowned last night?"
Qian Yao then said, "Fellow Daoist Li was injured before, so he couldn't use his spiritual power. He came to us this time to find spiritual herbs for treatment."
"I see. But Fellow Daoist Li, it seems to me that your Senior Brother Zhou is not very good. He can't even protect you?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone at the table could hear the smell of gunpowder. Just as they were not sure what to do, Pei Cangli spoke directly, "If you hadn't been making trouble, Senior Brother would have rescued me a long time ago."
Qian Yao also felt that Xuan Shang, as a subordinate, was a bit too aggressive. It was clearly him who stopped Fellow Daoist Zhou last night, but now he was being sarcastic?
When Xuan Shang heard Pei Cangli's words, he looked very hurt, as if he had suffered some injustice.
But he still said to Pei Cangli, "I saw that bead on your wrist seems to be able to avoid water. Why didn't you use it last night?"
It was confirmed that he was Xuan Shang. When Pei Cangli thought about how he had made her stay in the water for so long last night, she rolled her eyes at him and said, "I just said that I can't use spiritual power. Without spiritual power, how can I control it?"
"Or do you think I fell into the river on purpose as a self-torture tactic?"
Mingfeng and Mingxue were already trembling with fear at the sight of Pei Cangli's actions, but unfortunately their master's actions were even more outrageous.
Oh, the little white flower was angry. She must be thinking about what happened last night when he made her stay in the water for so long.
"Friend Li, you misunderstood. To express my apologies, I will protect you closely for the next period of time until you recover."
After saying that, he turned to look at Ming Feng and said, "Please approve it, Master."
Could Ming Feng refuse? He didn't dare to do that at all. He could only nod stiffly and look at Ming Xue beside him.
He didn't dare to complain to Ming Xue through telepathic communication. After all, his master was at the Spirit Transformation Stage, so their telepathic communication was just like a whisper. They could only communicate silently through eye contact.
"Did you hear what the master said? He actually wants to protect someone else personally?"
"Don't you think the master went through all this trouble just for this?"
"That makes sense. You see it clearly."
"Didn't you see that he just rolled his eyes at the master? Rolling his eyes, but the master was indifferent and even stuck to him?"
"The master must have heard that the two of them had been sleeping in the same room these days, so he got anxious and came up with this idea."
"When men go crazy, women really have nothing to do."
"Mingxue, how can you say that about the master?"
"Don't you think so?"
"Well, I thought so too."
When Si Yunzhou heard this, he knew what Xuan Shang was up to and rejected him directly, "My junior brother, I will protect him myself, so no one else needs to worry about it."
Xuan Shang said directly, "It is inevitable that you will make mistakes when you are alone, just like what happened last night. If someone tries to harm Li Daoyou again, I can help. Besides, someone did try to harm Li Daoyou last night, but you didn't find this person?"
Qian Yao looked at Xuan Shang and thought, if I asked you to provide close protection, Brother Li would be in greater danger, since it was you who delayed his rescue last night.
But Xuan Shang blocked this excuse and said directly, "I can swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at him, including Pei Cangli himself. When did their relationship become so good?
Xuan Shang directly squeezed out a drop of his own blood, then dotted it on Pei Cangli's forehead, and quickly swore an oath that he would never hurt Pei Cangli as long as she lived.
This is a level higher than the ordinary oath of heaven, and Pei Cangli didn't react at all.
By the time Si Yunzhou reacted, Xuan Shang had already finished. He could only look at Xuan Shang fiercely and said, "Shameless."
Everyone else was shocked by his action. What was going on? How come the Heavenly Oath came out? And wasn't it said to be for a while? What was going on now?
The most shocked were Xuan Shang's men and Qian Yao.
Xuan Shang's men were shocked that "this woman is not simple. She can make Rakshasa Lord swear a heavenly oath to protect her."
Qian Yao was shocked. Did she choose the wrong person? She shouldn't have chosen Brother Zhou, but his junior brother Brother Li?
Otherwise, why would she treat Fellow Daoist Li like this when they first met? There must be something special about him that she didn't know about.
Qian Yao glanced at her father, who also looked confused, but her senior brother seemed to have an expression that he had expected it.
Could it be that her senior brother knew something and didn't tell her?
That's not right. From the first time they met, Brother Zhou was the most powerful one, and he also had an appearance of a god.
She wouldn't choose the wrong person, there must be other reasons. There is still time, so she can try it out next time.
