Chapter 41 Exposed!
“My dear, not only does it have a snake with dual attributes, but this bear also has domain skills?”
"It can't be a domain skill. This is a spiritual pet that is only at the third level."
"It shouldn't be a domain skill, it can just change the terrain and control the opponent."
"Did you see that the soldier retreated in time? They must have practiced cooperation."
"Isn't this a normal competitive attitude?"
"I think their team is no worse than those teams from outside areas. I want to support them!"
"Don't get too happy too early. Those teams all have beast masters, and their team also has a tank. If we fight against each other, it's hard to say whether we will win or lose."
After Lin Manman and others won, they planned to continue watching the game, but not long after Lin Manman sat down, the seat next to him was occupied by a strange man.
"Hello, Miss Lin Manman." The man looked about thirty years old, with very retro single eyes, high eyebrows and deep eyes, not like a pure-blooded Chinese. He sat down next to Lin Manman and his tone sounded very friendly.
The teammates sitting on the other side of Lin Manman all looked at this strange man in unison.
"Hello...what can I do for you?" Lin Manman looked at the other person again and again, and even opened the system to take a look and found that this was an ordinary stranger whom he did not recognize.
"My employer wants to meet with you. I wonder if it's convenient for you?" The man smiled elegantly and spoke well.
Lin Manman was stunned, "Can I ask who your employer is? Do I know him?"
"My employer said just ask you if that fruit is growing well and you will know who it is."
Lin Manman suddenly realized that it was the mysterious old man, "Can I ask why he wants to see me?"
"My employer didn't tell me this, but he said that if you are willing to meet, maybe he can talk to you about the secret place where your father disappeared."
Lin Manman's pupils shrank. Regarding Lin's father's disappearance, her family only knew the news brought back by Qiu Xiangjing and his teammates. But when they went to inquire about it themselves, they found that all the information about this secret realm had been classified by the alliance officials and could not be accessed without permission. Even the secret realm was blocked. Not only were barriers set up, but the entrance to the secret realm was also guarded.
"Okay... I'm willing to meet." Although she didn't completely trust these two people, she was willing to try to make contact with them even if there was a little hope.
"Although I am willing to meet, the meeting place is up to me." Lin Manman looked at the other person, trying to read something from the other person's expression. She didn't know the other party's details or what his purpose was. She could only try to make herself less passive.
"Okay, I'll pass it on to my employer." The man just nodded slightly, without any change in the expression on his face. He raised his wristband to send the message.
After a while, "My employer agreed. He asked me to convey that please try to find a place where you can speak quietly. Some words may not be suitable for more people to know."
Lin Manman thought for a while and agreed. After all, the secret place where her father's accident happened has been classified as a secret, and it is definitely not convenient to talk about it in public. "Then book a private room in the hotel where I live. I'll book the private room." As she said this, she sent a message to Qiu Xiangjing. Qiu Xiangjing had just watched their game at the stadium and also broadcast the whole process live to Mother Lin in the hospital. . But after they finished the game, he went back to the hotel first. After all, he has to take time to video chat with his family every day.
After receiving the news from Lin Manman, he didn't ask any questions and immediately arranged a box for her. Lin Manman also told the man the hotel address and box number, then turned around and spoke briefly to his teammates before getting up and returning to the hotel.
Although Liu Ping and the others sat farther away, they did not hear clearly what the man and Lin Manman said. But Fang Yaqi heard it, and she also knew something about Lin Manman's family. While she explained to Liu Ping and the others that an acquaintance was looking for Lin Manman, she prayed in her heart that Lin Manman could get useful clues.
Lin Manman returned to the hotel box and waited for nearly an hour before the door of the box was lightly knocked. She quickly stood up and went to open the door, when she saw the door was opened by the waiter from the outside.
"Little girl, we meet again. We are still very destined, right?" The old man walked into the box with a sly smile, followed by the man Lin Manman saw today. The man was pushing a black man in his hand. Cart covered with cloth.
"Who are you? Why do you want to see me?" Lin Manman had a cold face. She was not in the mood to chat with him now.
"Why are you angry?" The expression on the old man's face paused, as if he felt a little aggrieved.
"Can't I be angry? I met you by chance. To put it bluntly, I saved you. But you not only investigated me, but also took advantage of my father... shouldn't I be angry?"
The old man frowned and thought for a while, then sighed softly. "Old man, I was wrong about this. I shouldn't have used your father's news to guide you. But I really didn't have any ill intentions. On the contrary, I wanted to protect you."
There was a crack in Lin Manman's originally indifferent expression. Protecting her? What kind of relationship does he have with her that he has to protect her? What does she need him to protect?
"If you have any questions, please just tell me." Lin Manman looked better when she saw that he did not seem to have any ill intentions.
"I originally wanted to give it a try, but forget it." The old man shook his head and waved his hand for the man pushing the cart to go out.
The man bowed, turned around and walked out, closing the door gently.
After the man went out, the old man pulled off the black cloth covering the cart. Lin Manman, who was still a little confused at first, narrowed his eyes slightly, realized that something was wrong, and quickly tried to control his facial expression not to change too much.
"Okay, stop acting, I know everything." The old man saw her micro-expression in his eyes and couldn't figure out what she was thinking. "From the moment I saw your bear, I knew you must have some special method to evolve your spiritual pet."
"The appearance of the black rock bear is different from that of your spiritual pet. I have been dealing with spiritual beasts all year round, how could I not know about it. You didn't want to tell me at first, and I didn't want to ask more. I thought of sending someone to protect you secretly, and wait for me I'll come back to you after I finish the things I'm doing recently, but I didn't expect you to hit me first."
Lin Manman looked at the spiritual beast on the cart that he had evolved and asked Qiu Xiangjing to sell. Knowing that their actions are probably all under the control of the other party, even if she wants to quibble, the other party will not believe it.
"It's not that I deliberately investigated what you know about your father. It's that my apprentice is the person in charge of sending compensation to your brother. I only heard about your information from him. I'm afraid that I will bring out these few things." The picture of the spiritual beast asked you to come and talk to me, and you would be so scared that you turned around and ran away, and then you said that you wanted to talk to you about the secret place where your father’s accident happened.”
"Of course, I'm not lying to you. In the professional league, I can still do a lot of things with my authority." The old man said as he sat down and poured himself a cup of tea.
Thinking about it, he felt aggrieved for himself. Thinking about how he wanted to recruit disciples in the past, it didn't matter which family or group was rushing to send him disciples, or even anonymously. Now that he has taken a liking to the young apprentice he wants to take on, he has to coax him personally.
