Chapter 126 Unswervingly going astray!
Sisi is dead?
Zhou Qing was slightly startled, but after thinking about it carefully, he was not too surprised.
With City Lord Xiao’s old fox eyes, how could he not see Sisi’s personality?
Normal women look down on that fat head and big ears.
money!
Power!
Status!
These are the things that Sisi appreciates, and they are also the fundamental reason why Matthew Nuo commented that Sisi is "too big-hearted"!
If she really had the talent for cultivation, how could she still stay in Notting City in her twenties?
I would have gone to a bigger city to develop!
Compared to Su Yuntao, who has a high probability of becoming the next palace master of Notting City's Wuhun Branch, the city master of Notting City naturally has a higher status, greater power, and more money.
It’s a pity——
The ability is not worthy of this ambition, so that it serves as a shield for others.
"...That's how it is." Xiao Chenyu said, "So, she can only wait until my father dies before marrying him."
"I'm leaving."
Although Sisi's experience was self-inflicted, Zhou Qing once again realized the cruelty of this world. Common people, even civilian soul masters, have no control over their fate.
No matter what you want to accomplish, the corresponding strength is essential.
"Wait! Zhou Qing! Brother Qing! Can you help me convince my father?" Xiao Chenyu finally said his ultimate purpose, "I... really don't want me to Dad takes that risk!"
Zhou Qing turned around and took a deep look at Xiao Chenyu.
Unlike Xiao Chenyu's father who wanted to make a fortune out of small things, Xiao Chenyu himself was not that ambitious. He just wanted to be a local emperor in a small place like Notting City.
"I'm not that proud, so the advice I can give you is to steal that piece of soul bone and throw it outside the city. This process needs to be seen by many people." Zhou Qing felt that Xiao Chen Yu Qian thought, how could City Lord Xiao listen to the advice of a six-year-old child?
But if we really want to solve the problem——
Throwing away the soul bones before the news of the soul bones becomes more and more outrageous is the key to calming down the matter. .
However, in this way, it will also be confirmed that the soul bone auction was indeed directed and performed by City Lord Xiao, and even Romanyak will be implicated.
but!
You can never have your cake and eat it too...
Xiao Chenyu thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and left Notting College.
As soon as he came out, he noticed that the eyes of the non-Notting City soul masters wandering nearby fell on him.
Afraid! Fear!
But Xiao Chenyu still gritted his teeth and walked to the street, walking quickly along the lively street in the direction of Xiao Mansion.
It wasn't until he saw the gate of Xiao Mansion that Xiao Chenyu dared to run, rushed in, and asked the guard at the door to lock the gate.
“Huh——”
After relaxing, Xiao Chenyu noticed that he was sweating profusely and his whole body was soaked.
"Master, why are you back?" After Butler Xiao learned the servant's report, he immediately rushed over and said to Xiao Chenyu, "During this period, Notting College is much safer than Xiao Mansion. .”
"I have something to find dad." Xiao Chenyu wiped his sweat, refused to let Butler Xiao follow him, and went straight to City Master Xiao who was recovering from his injuries.
After breaking an arm, City Lord Xiao's vitality was severely damaged, and the great soul master's strength was also very low. Recently, he didn't even go to the office and only recuperated at home.
Furthermore, it was precisely because of a broken arm that he made up his mind to calm down the "rumors" before they spread further and cause greater fluctuations. People saw what he was capable of!
Only in this way can he be promoted and prevent one of his arms from being sacrificed in vain.
At this moment.
City Lord Xiao was sleeping on the bed.
Xiao Chenyu tiptoed open the door. Seeing that his father was sleeping soundly, he walked to the nearby closet, opened the closet door gently, and began to rummage around.
But there is no trace of the soul bone.
Drawers under the wardrobe -
None.
Bedside table——
None.
Under the bed——
Still nothing.
So, Xiao Chenyu quietly lifted the quilt covering City Master Xiao, wanting to confirm whether the soul bone was held in his hands.
But still nothing.
"Where is it hidden?" After Xiao Chenyu covered the quilt again, he thought about the place where the soul bone might be hidden.
He followed Zhou Qing’s suggestion and prepared to throw away his soul bone!
Although the soul bone is very precious, compared with the trouble caused by the exposure of this soul bone, and the possibility that he will not be able to become the city lord of Notting City in the future, Xiao Chenyu feels that the soul bone The slight increase in strength brought by it is not so important anymore.
For soul masters who may never be able to break through to the soul master realm in their lifetime, it is better to be a local tyrant in such a small place than to constantly pursue breakthroughs in the realm.
"What are you looking for?"
As soon as Xiao Chenyu turned around, the voice of City Lord Xiao came from behind.
"Dad...Dad!?" Xiao Chenyu trembled and turned around blankly. The back of his neck felt cold and his lips were trembling. "You...when did you wake up?" ?”
“You woke up when you first came in.” City Master Xiao’s eyes were gloomy, “You are looking for soul bones.”
The heavy tone made Xiao Chenyu feel uncomfortable. He dared to raise his head, but when he thought of his broken arm, he felt a little confident in his heart, and he spoke a little louder: "Yes, Dad. People in the city are saying that you directed and acted in this auction. You I just want to take the soul bones from the hands of the deputy city lord, and I have no intention of auctioning the soul bones.”
"So what do you want to do? Are you so excited that you want to steal soul bones because of the words of those stupid people?"
City Lord Xiao's cold tone was like the ice of the Nine Netherworld, piercing Xiao Chenyu so much that he didn't even dare to raise his head. , "Have you forgotten what I told you? Don't worry about what those stupid people think, as long as you don't trouble those people who are suspected of having family members behind them!"
Civilian Soul Master, City Lord Xiao doesn't care at all. Disregard it. Even though he broke an arm because of this, he still felt that it was because the three guys caught him off guard while he was exercising.
Only those who are the children of big sects and big families can really not be offended by me and others!
"That's not the reason!"
Although Xiao Chenyu didn't dare to raise his head, he still shouted hoarsely, almost shouting, "I'm just, just, worried about your safety. Now there are people who dare to break into our house without permission. , and even asked Dad to break one... I can’t imagine what will happen after this news has been fermented for a while.”
Hearing this, City Lord Xiao’s eyes softened. Master: "So, you stole the soul bone because you wanted to throw it away "Go to Notting City?"
"Yes." Xiao Chenyu gritted his teeth and admitted the matter, but did not say it was Zhou Qing's suggestion, "Dad, if the soul bone is exposed, Notting City will To make it even more confusing, it’s better to throw it out and let other soul masters go Let’s fight. That way, Notting City will regain its original peace.”
City Lord Xiao is actually quite pleased that Xiao Chenyu can come up with such a solution, because it means that his son will. Use your brain to think.
However, City Lord Xiao rejected this proposal.
Throw it out?
This is what he bought from Romanyak for one million gold soul coins (although in the end he only paid 600,000 gold soul coins to Romanyak in private). He lost it. He couldn't bear it.
The Xiao Mansion is not so luxurious that it can be wasted with 600,000 yuan!
But more importantly, in order to make up his mind, City Lord Xiao has absorbed the soul bone of Mo Chunniu's head.
After losing an arm, plus the 600,000 yuan, City Lord Xiao's determination can be described as "breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat."
If you are not crazy, you will not survive.
This is a desperate gamble!
"Dad, have you absorbed the soul bone?!" Xiao Chenyu opened his mouth wide, which meant that there was no other way.
Unless——
But you can’t even think about such a thing!
Because he is the son of the city lord! If his father died, he would at most be the son of a minor nobleman in Notting City, not the son of the city lord!
“Don’t worry, my son, you have to trust your father and me.”
City Lord Xiao said, “I have taken care of the city lords of nearby cities. As long as this matter is resolved within half a year, Once this is resolved, my ability will be noticed by the people in the Tiandou Empire's administrative agency. In two or three years, we can move to a bigger city! "
"Your grandfather was able to be promoted from a small town to Notting City and become the Lord of Notting City through a gamble similar to today's, and I am here for you. Grandpa keeps contacting other city lords and officials from higher-level cities, and only after settling all the relationships can he succeed to the position of city lord.”
"At the beginning, I was just like you. I was timid and afraid of failure, which caused me to lose everything. But in the end, it was proved that your grandpa was right. Now I am just showing you what your grandpa did."
“In the future, if you find an opportunity, you will also make a big gamble to fight for more rights and status for your descendants. ! However, when you get to a bigger city, it will probably take three or even four generations before you can find an opportunity to start the next big gamble!"
"In bigger cities, there are problems that need to be dealt with! The more..."
Xiao Chenyu opened his mouth wide, his head was buzzing, and he was at a loss for a moment.
Was my grandfather originally just the mayor of a small town?
So, after going to a bigger city, how much time do you have to spend to accumulate for future generations, so that the descendants three generations later can plan to go to a bigger city?
When Xiao Chenyu returned to Notting College with the housekeeper and the guards of the Xiao Mansion, he had already regained the "confidence" he once had as a noble.
Then——
Xiao Wu, who came back from Notting Guild, saw him and beat him up again.
"Ah! Sister Xiaowu, I was wrong! I will never dare to show a proud expression in front of you again. Please forgive me!" Xiao Chenyu, who was thrown into the flower bed, burst into tears. Overflowing, he didn't dare to complain at all, he kept apologizing, hoping Xiao Wu wouldn't catch him and beat him alone.
And that touch of confidence also disappeared under the trend of pain.
"Huh, you used to lead people to bully working-study students, I'm here to avenge them!" Xiao Wu was in a bad mood, snorted coldly, stood on the moral high ground, and said to Wang Sheng and others who were watching this scene not far away shouted, "Say, Sister Xiaowu Did you do it right?"
"Yes!"
"Sister Xiaowu is so awesome!"
"Teach Xiao Chenyu a lesson, that guy will be punished next year. After graduation, if you want to teach me a lesson in the future, you won’t be able to teach me a lesson!”
The working-study students clapped their hands and applauded. Only Wang Sheng and the two or three working-study students who had a good relationship with Wang Sheng did not act as exaggeratedly as others, but just agreed.
Because they understand one thing better than others, that is, Xiao Wu cannot help them for the rest of their lives. Work-study students and ordinary people have to rely on themselves.
But because he was clumsy and his strength was not as good as Xiao Wu’s, he didn’t say much, and——
Seeing Xiao Chenyu being beaten, Wang Sheng and others felt in their hearts, It’s actually pretty cool.
When Xiao Chenyu heard these voices, he gritted his teeth secretly, but did not dare to say a word, because he knew that if he said one more word, he would be beaten even worse.
This Xiao Wu is unreasonable at all!
Moreover, I don’t know why, but Xiao Wu’s strength has become very strong recently. She can hold him with one hand without using her martial soul or soul skills...
Soul Power The level is two or three levels higher than mine, is the gap really that big?
"Look, everyone is complaining about you, so Sister Xiao Wu beats you to comply with natural principles and uphold justice." Xiao Wu smiled proudly, "Also, I advise you not to rely on yourself when you go out in the future. As the son of the city lord, you can bully others casually. Otherwise, as long as you stay in Notting City, Sister Xiaowu will have plenty of ways to teach you a lesson."
[But aren't you the one who bullies others casually now? 】
Xiao Chenyu's face was full of resentment.
But this resentment quickly turned into panic.
Because Xiao Wu clenched her fists and sneered: "Don't give me such a strange look, otherwise Sister Xiao Wu won't mind helping you change your expression to suit you."
< br>Xiao Chenyu trembled all over, and a trace of fear appeared in his eyes: Do I have to live in the shadow of this devil for the rest of my life?
Absolutely not!
dad!
Your plan must succeed!
The whole scene of Xiao Wu teaching Xiao Chenyu a lesson was watched by Zhou Qing and Tang San who had returned from blacksmithing.
"I feel that Xiao Wu has gone too far. Xiao Chenyu did often bully others in the past, but recently he has stopped making trouble for civilians and work-study students. There is no need to take the initiative to stir up trouble, right?"
< br>Tang San frowned slightly.
It helps for a while, but not forever.
He kept it in his heart, why did Xiao Wu forget it?
"I guess it's because after completing the second refining of the soul ring, my physique and strength increased, so I'm a little drifting." Zhou Qing sighed secretly, feeling that Xiao Wu was the only one in the group of four. The oldest "old woman" is a real child in terms of temperament. She is out-of-the-box, lively, and always comes up with her ideas.
However, Zhou Qing also noticed the changes in Xiao Chenyu——
[It seems that Xiao Chenyu was persuaded by his father... Come on, come on. , after all, I am not from the same group as these aristocratic young men who grew up in fine clothes and lived in luxury. Guys who have never truly experienced the difficulties of civilian life cannot have any real empathy with me! 】
[And I can’t have too close contact with these people! 】
【So, in the future, besides practicing, reaching Titled Douluo, or even breaking through level 100, what else do I want to do? 】
Zhou Qing didn't notice the confusion in his eyes.
But Tang San, who was always paying attention to Zhou Qing, clearly noticed it again...
