"I'm sorry! I had too many things to do and forgot..." Xia Luotong immediately apologized sincerely, "I'll treat you to this meal today! The young Marquis is the most handsome man in the capital, so he won't look good when he's angry!"
Chu Junxiu raised his eyebrows. He was quite satisfied with her praise, but he said with disgust: "This is my restaurant. Do you think it's appropriate for you to invite me to dinner here?"
Xia Luotong was stunned for a moment. Thinking about it, it was true. Then he said awkwardly: "How about I treat you to dinner next time when the young Marquis is free?"
"That's pretty much it." Chu Junxiu smiled with a smile on his face, but You felt it was not enough and continued: "But one meal is not enough to compensate me. Where are you going to play later? Today I have to play with you all!"
How could such an interesting person not take advantage of the opportunity?
Xia Luotong didn't expect that Chu Junxiu would make such a request, but thinking about what he was going to do next, it didn't hurt to take him with him.
She nodded and said: "Okay, but it's not interesting. If you feel bored, you can leave first."
"How can you be bored with Xiao Tongtong? Absolutely not!" Chu Junxiu immediately returned to his cynical look and winked at Xia Luotong.
Xia Luotong looked at Chu Junxiu speechlessly. This guy really couldn't be more serious than a cup of tea. He immediately returned to his original appearance and couldn't help but give him a supercilious look: "Peacock, it seems that you are really very serious." boring."
"How can I be bored? Playing with little Tongtong is serious business!"
Seeing Chu Junxiu, who was called a peacock but had a proud look on his face, Xia Luotong felt that he should not pay attention to him!
The lunch time was spent in the bickering between the two of them. Although they were noisy, they were also extremely harmonious. Xia Luotong felt that although Chu Junxiu was short-tongued, he was very easy to get along with because of his informal temperament. You don’t have to worry so much together.
After the meal, the two became more familiar with each other.
After resting for a while, Xia Luotong left the restaurant with the charming Chu Junxiu and walked through the alleys. The further he went, the more dilapidated the surrounding buildings became, until he appeared in front of him. In a dilapidated courtyard, he stopped.
This place is already a slum in the capital, and it is inhabited by poor families with extremely poor conditions. Various religions and streams are also gathered in this area, so the level of chaos can be imagined.
If it weren't for the two of them's extraordinary temperament, coupled with the obviously extremely expensive clothes and accessories on their bodies, many sneaky people would not dare to move rashly, otherwise they would not be able to get here so easily.
If they were in other towns, they would have been stopped and robbed long ago. Fortunately, this is the capital, and there are too many people who cannot be provoked. Therefore, lawless criminals who can survive in the capital must first learn to distinguish who can be provoked and who can be provoked. Not to be messed with.
Of course, money can make all the difference. If the benefits absolutely outweigh the risks, those lawless people will not worry so much.
Although they had been looked at by many malicious eyes along the way, Xia Luotong and Chu Junxiu did not have the slightest thought of fear, because neither of them was easy to offend. One had a cunning poison technique, and the other had a strong martial arts. , if someone gets into trouble, we don’t know who will be the unlucky one.
Chu Junxiu didn't care at all about the prying eyes, he looked around swaggeringly, and finally couldn't help but asked out of curiosity: "What are we doing here?"
It didn't look like Xia Luotong would come to such a place.
"Just follow and watch." Xia Luotong did not answer his question. He just responded casually and walked towards the courtyard gate in front of him.
Chu Junxiu was puzzled, but when Xia Luotong didn't say anything, he didn't ask further, but followed her quietly, preparing to see what this interesting person was going to do.
When Xia Luotong just stood in front of the courtyard door and was about to raise his hand to knock the door, the originally closed door was suddenly opened from the inside.
Xia Luotong paused with her hand raised in the air. When she saw the person behind the courtyard door clearly, she was about to explain her intention when she saw that the expression on the other person's face was full of surprise and excitement that was difficult for her to understand. He got ahead of her. Opened his mouth.
"Miss Atong! You're here! Please come in quickly, please come in quickly!" The fourteen-year-old or fifteen-year-old boy happily invited her in while letting another boy next to him go in and call someone.
Xia Luotong's face was full of surprise. She didn't know why this young man was so kind to her. If she hadn't seen him before, she would have suspected that he had ulterior motives and would not dare to enter.
Xia Luotong and Chu Junxiu entered the courtyard one after another. They were halfway towards the main house when they saw four or five people rushing out of the house, led by a strong man to greet them. come over.
"Even the steward..."
Xia Luotong recognized the strong man at the head. His name was Lian Zhou, and he was the steward of the Wuyi tribe in the capital. But just as she said hello, she saw the other man showing the same surprise expression as the young man before, and he was particularly enthusiastic. He took the initiative to greet her.
"Miss Atong, you're finally here. We've been waiting for you for a long time!" Lian Zhou, a tall and strong man, had a look of tears of joy on his face.
Xia Luotong was confused on the spot by the inexplicable excitement of the two people. What was going on? Why does it feel like I've seen my savior? This is just their second meeting, right? And the last time she came here, she just gave a task commission. As for her appearance like this?
Lian Zhou looked at Xia Luotong's stunned look and knew that he was too excited and scared others. He quickly explained: "Miss A Tong, don't panic. In fact, I have something to ask her for help. I don't know. If it’s not convenient, why don’t we go inside to talk?”
Xia Luotong glanced at Lian Zhou in confusion, then at the young man next to him, raised his eyebrows slightly, and without saying anything else, she followed him into the house, following behind her. Chu Junxiu looked around and showed a meaningful smile.
Lian Zhou and the young man beside him looked at each other with hopeful expressions, and hurriedly walked towards the main house, but they did not let anyone else follow them, and only the two of them entered the house.
"Miss Atong, please take a seat." Lian Zhou invited warmly.
At this time, there were only Lian Zhou, the young man, Xia Luotong and Chu Junxiu in the main room. After they sat down respectively, Xia Luotong spoke directly.
"You want me to help you? What's the matter?"
To be honest, Xia Luotong was quite curious, because the last time she came here, the other party seemed to be discussing business and did not show any enthusiasm, but today's behavior... was really a bit abnormal.
