"Master Xu."
Liu Lu's voice came from the communication bead.
Xu Xiaoshou was sitting at the coffee table on the first floor. On one side was Xiao Wanfeng, who was very attentive in serving tea and water, and on the other side was Xin Gugu, who was bored.
"Well, you say."
Listening to the voice in the communication bead, Xu Xiaoshou tapped the table with his index finger and looked at Xiao Wanfeng who was not resting with his weird eyes.
This guy can survive so well, isn't he afraid of sudden death?
He was already a sword sect. If he died suddenly because he didn't rest, wouldn't he be the first sword sect in the world to stay up late and die?
Xiao Wanfeng couldn't understand Xu Shao's strange eyes. Seeing him staring at him, he just smiled back and gestured for tea.
Xu Xiaoshou picked up the teacup and took a sip, and Liu Lu's voice appeared in his ears.
"That's right, Mr. Xu."
"According to your request, we investigated Jiang Xian's background, and the data we obtained is that there are seven throne guards around Jiang Xian, including one Zhan Dao, and there is no Taixu accompanying him."
"Obviously, he has been traveling with only four thrones, but according to our observation, the throne guards around Jiang Xian today have two unfamiliar faces."
"We suspect that either the two familiar faces who have been following Jiang Xian have traveled far away to do business, or they have been damaged."
That is indeed a loss... Xu Xiaoshou responded secretly in his heart.
From this point of view, only Five Thrones, Yi Zhandao and Ling Taixu were left around Jiang Xian.
There is no Taixu guard, which is not surprising.
What level is Taixu?
Those were Gou Wuyue and Cen Qiaofu.
Even the storyteller, Haitang'er, is only at the pinnacle of Zhan Dao.
Therefore, Xu Xiaoshou was not surprised at all when there was no Taixu guard around Jiang Xian.
Although there is indeed no Taixu guard, looking at the fighting power next to this true semi-saint successor, it is really terrifying.
A young junior disciple actually wears a Zhan Dao guard and seven thrones when he travels.
This is simply comparable to the top combat power of a spiritual palace!
"But now, there are only five people left on the throne..."
Xu Xiaoshou began to think.
If you really want to take the initiative and kill Dao, you can leave it to Ajie for the time being.
But the remaining five thrones are not a force that can be underestimated.
Especially in this Dongtianwang City.
Once there is a commotion, it is estimated that there will be many people who want to help the half-saint successor in times of trouble.
Therefore, we have to follow the conventional method, unless we call the Meisi people.
But calling the Seven Swordsmen to take action, such a huge favor, just to deal with a little Jiang Xian, Xu Xiaoshou felt that it was not worth it.
So he pondered for a moment and asked: "Is the news accurate? There is only one Zhan Dao?"
"Absolutely accurate!"
Liu Lu seemed to have received the guarantee from the senior management and was confident. After a pause, he continued:
"But if Xu Shao really wants to take action, I should say more."
"The Semi-Saint family has a bloodline mark to anchor its younger disciples. Once the body of a Semi-Saint successor is destroyed, not only will the mark protect his soul and remain immortal, but it will also lock the shooter and inject the power of a curse."
"So generally speaking, half-saint successors cannot die."
"Even if you really want to kill, you can only do it by sacrificing someone on your behalf."
"But the mark will search the host's memory. Once it is not covered up very well, the real person behind the scenes will still be dug out by the Semi-Saint Family."
"Even after all this is done, the Half-Saint Successor will only lose a physical body. As long as the mark protects him, the Half-Saint Successor can still be resurrected without any injuries when he returns to his family."
"So... I don't understand the grudge between Mr. Xu and Jiang Xian, so I just remind you."
Xu Xiaoshou was a little surprised. There is such a method?
He thought of the cursed power injected into Jiang Tai's body when he blew himself up.
Even a throne guard has such a mark, so the power of the mark on Jiang Xian must be higher, right?
Thinking like this in his heart, Xu Xiaoshou usually does his job in a flawless manner, even if he is covering his ears.
"Who told you that I'm going to take action? It's because we are from a Half-Saint family. I'm just investigating his background." Xu Xiaoshou said.
"understandable."
Liu Lu did not refute.
How could he not know that Xu Shao and Jiang Xian had a small conflict at the door of Duojin Trading Company?
The two thrones that Jiang Xian suspected of traveling disappeared the night before Xu Shao had this question. What happened during this period can basically be judged by those who are bold enough to speculate.
But there are some things that everyone can only push in their minds and dare not ask out loud.
For example, when Liu Lu got the authority to investigate information, the first person he checked was not Jiang Xian, but Mr. Xu.
But Xu Shao's background in the Northern Territory is still too mysterious, and no such person has been found at all.
Either the Xu family is more awesome than the Jiang family, and the night owl can't dig out anything.
Or, there is only one horrifying and terrifying fact left - fabricated out of thin air!
But all of this has been investigated by thoughtful people, but everyone has tacitly chosen not to interfere or disturb.
Because if the latter is true, it would be fine. At best, it exposes a fact.
But if it's the former, then the person offended is a truly hidden family!
It was precisely because of this relationship that Liu Lu went to the trouble of telling Mr. Xu some inside information about the "Legend of Immortality" of the Semi-Saint Successor.
Unexpectedly and reasonably, Xu Shao's focus was not on this at all, and he didn't even respond.
"He listened to everything out of respect, but why didn't he mention a word of it because he knew the "Legend of Immortality" of the Semi-Saint Successor in advance?"
"Or because I listened to the whole story out of curiosity, I finally want to emphasize again like there is no silver in this place. It's not him, Mr. Xu, who wants to kill people?"
Liu Lu didn't dare to think about these two, nor did he want to think about them.
He only does the work he is supposed to do.
He only knew that even if Young Master Xu was not from a semi-saint family, he still had the terrifying existence behind him that Mr. Jian had mentioned.
Maybe Mr. Xu’s background is fake.
But Mr. Xu’s people, with Jian Lao’s guarantee, are definitely true!
So, why would the Xu family, whose guard strength is more terrifying than Jiang Xian, a semi-saint descendant recognized by the world, have to lie about his background?
The answer...
It’s scary to think about it!
"Master Xu."
Liu Lu didn't pause for too long before telling the last message.
"As far as we know, of the five remaining bodyguards around Jiang Xian, only two are actually protecting him at all times."
"The rest are generally collecting information outside, or have learned some important information, and then returned to Jiang Xian to do reporting work."
"Currently, Jiang Xian's purpose of coming to Dongtian King City is unknown, but he probably came not for the Holy and Mysterious Land, but for other reasons."
"His goal seems to be related to the 'Three Tired Eyes'."
Xu Xiaoshou's eyes lit up when he heard this.
This "Night Owl" intelligence work, I have to say, does have something!
If Sanyan Pupils could be detected, then it is estimated that what Jiang Xian wants is close to what he guessed, which is for the "God and Demon Pupils"!
"Is there more?" Xu Xiaoshou asked calmly.
Liu Lu seemed to pause on the other side of the communication bead.
Xu Xiaoshou knew that this guy was probably waiting for him to ask what the "Three-Yan Tongmu" was, but since he didn't ask, he could definitely deduce that he already knew something.
Therefore, there is a high probability that I won’t talk nonsense.
Sure enough, Liu Lu was silent for a while and then said:
"Then there is no other information. No matter who it is, the risk of taking action is only the 'Legend of Immortality' mentioned above, and Jiang Xian's Dao-killing guards."
"For the rest, I believe Mr. Xu is very confident."
Xu Xiaoshou was very satisfied after hearing this.
He also fully recognized Night Owl's work.
Especially Liu Lu's attitude, he said what was needed and mentioned what was needed, just right but not too overstepping.
This man is a thief and should not just be a nobody.
So Xu Xiaoshou said: "Go and talk to your boss Yuan Si, and he will give you a promotion. From now on, you and I will be alone on the line, no one else is needed."
Liu Lu's slightly excited but not very excited voice came from the communication bead.
"Thank you, Mr. Xu, for the tip. But the fourth master said that he had already expected that you would speak like this, so he promoted me in advance. Now, I am also considered an inner-level employee of Night Owl."
Xu Xiaoshou was stunned.
This old fox...
Could it be that after being suppressed by him that day, he felt unhappy, so he used this insignificant move to defeat his army?
"Congratulations then."
Xu Xiaoshou didn't care, and said casually: "Finally, I helped tell you, Master Yuan Si, that I will go to his house when I have time and ask him to clean it up. I mean what I said."
Liu Lu was stunned when he heard this.
He could hear a bit of tit-for-tat in this high-level game.
But the "why" layer is a bit hard to figure out.
Liu Lu didn't think much about it. After being stunned, he immediately responded: "Okay, I will definitely convey it to you."
"Exactly every word." Xu Xiaoshou warned.
"Um."
Liu Lu said seriously: "Exactly every word!"
…
Xu Xiaoshou put down the communication.
Xin Gugu handed it over with an inquiring look.
Although Xin Gugu didn't enter the conference room last night, he could already deduce something through Jiang Tai's incident and some words made by communication bead Xu Xiaoshou.
Xu Xiaoshou summed it up: "Seven thrones, two of which are for personal protection, the other three are not sure whether they are there, and the last two..."
He glanced at the training room.
Xin Gugu understood immediately.
The last two are folded on the first floor in the sky.
Xiao Wanfeng looked at his nose and heart from one side, staring blankly at the air.
Hearing how Xu Shao and Xiao Xin Ge used numbers to count the powerful ones on the throne, he had a premonition that something big might happen next.
But these things are probably irrelevant to me.
After all, I am only a mortal...
I just don’t know why Young Master Xu believes in me so much and doesn’t let anyone leave without giving him a wink when talking about something?
Or……
Xiao Wanfeng suddenly thought of Mr. Xu's twisted words before: "If you become an accomplice, you will no longer be a traitor."
No... Xiao Wanfeng panicked at the thought.
When others talk about important things, they always ignore the others.
It's better for you, Mr. Xu. The more important the matter, the more important it is for the servants to hear it. Because of this, you become an accomplice and no one can escape?
——What kind of twisted and abnormal psychology is this? !
"Xu, Master Xu?"
Xiao Wanfeng couldn't help but interrupted the next two people, holding up the teapot to signal, "Shall I add water?"
"No, you continue to heat the tea."
Xu Xiaoshou took the teapot over, added ice with three days of freezing, and turned the original seed into water with embers, then handed it back, and said to Xin Gugu as if no one else was watching: "Besides, there is also a beheading The Taoist Guard is gone."
Xiao Wanfeng took the teapot as if receiving a Zhan Dao, his hands were shaking a little.
Xin Gugu motioned to the guy to bring him a pot of tea, and then continued: "So Mr. Xu, do you want to take action against Jiang Xian?"
"Um."
Xu Xiaoshou nodded.
This time, he will definitely take the initiative.
No matter whether he kills one or two, as long as he is not too weak, everything is easy to talk about.
"Bang~"
At this moment, the tea cup belonging to Xin Gugu was suddenly knocked over by Xiao Wanfeng's hand.
Xu and Xin both looked down at the same time.
Then Xiao Wanfeng put the tea cup back on his hands with trembling hands, and couldn't help but apologize: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mr. Xu, Brother Xiao Xin, can I go down and get a new pot of tea?"
Xu Xiaoshou hasn't answered yet.
"You want to mess with Jiang Xian?" A surprised voice came from the stairs.
However, he saw Mu Zixi swooping over to sit down, waving his hand and pouring a handful of tea leaves into the teacup. While gesturing to Xiao Wanfeng to get one for him, he said happily: "Why don't you take me with you! When are you going to do it? "
Xiao Wanfeng's eyes widened and he went numb.
He looked at Aunt Mu who casually summoned tea leaves in a daze.
"So, is this an advanced use of the wood attribute..."
Then his body trembled and he reacted.
She took out a new tea cup from the space ring with trembling hands, and stammered: "Aunt Mu, Aunt Mu, the tea you ordered belongs to Brother Xiao Xin..."
"oh."
Mu Zixi pushed the tea cup away in disgust, then waved at the scattered tea leaves and tea water, all of which turned into spiritual power and shattered. Then he took out a handful of tea leaves and said to the back: "Give her one too."
Xiao Wanfeng turned around and saw the stern young lady.
If nothing else, her name is "Mo Mo".
"Mo-Aunt Mo..." Xiao Wanfeng hesitated before speaking.
Mo Mo was stunned.
Hearing this title, her steps stopped, then she smiled and said softly: "You don't have to call me that, just call me Miss Mo."
With a cry, there seemed to be a breeze blowing outside the open door on the first floor of the sky.
These ethereal words instantly relieved Xiao Wanfeng's nervousness and embarrassment.
Xiao Wanfeng was fascinated for a moment when he saw this calm smile that could melt the wind and snow.
He was previously most afraid of such unsmiling people.
But at this moment, Mo Mo seemed to him to be the most normal human being among Mr. Xu's group!
Before he could make up his mind, Mo Mo walked up to the tea table, pulled out a chair and sat down. Then he said to Mr. Xu, "Is there a way to kill him? Do you need me to take action?"
"Boom" sounded like a thunderbolt from the blue.
Xiao Wanfeng's head went blank on the spot, and he shivered when he felt the sudden wind and snow.
What bullshit is like a spring breeze, what ridiculous normal human beings...
Miss Mo, isn’t she innate?
Where did she get the courage to say what she wanted to do against Zhan Dao?
Xiao Wanfeng was shocked.
He glanced at the four people in different postures, lying or sitting on the coffee table, and suddenly felt a little dizzy.
What kind of monsters are sitting at this table?
