Longhu Mountain, back mountain, at the ruined pavilion.
At this time, a group of young strangers from all over the world have gathered here.
Yun, Xiao Xiao, Zhi Jinhua, Bai Shixue, the boy also named Ling, as well as Wang Ergou and Shan Shitong who were defeated by Feng Baobao and Sun Haoran, all came here.
Of course, they didn't come here just to enjoy the cool weather, but they were summoned by someone. It should be said that the main purpose of their coming to Longhu Mountain was not to participate in the Luotian Dajiao, the martial arts competition was just a convenience.
And the person who summoned them happened to be the person who destroyed the pavilion here.
Most people would not dare to destroy the pavilion in Longhu Mountain. After all, it is nominally the property of the Heavenly Master, but he is Lu Jin, the Lu Jin who has a "flawless life".
Two undisguised footsteps came from behind. The young people turned their heads in unison and saw Lu Jin who had brought Lu Linglong here.
The old man in a suit had a serious expression at the moment, but Lu Linglong seemed not to understand the specific situation.
"Mr. Lu, you are here."
Seeing Lu Jin arriving, Zhi Jinhua and others greeted him in unison.
"In addition to Xi, who is still competing, and Hidden Dragon, who was injured and was carried away for treatment, the boys you summoned to Longhu Mountain are all here."
"Let's get down to business."
Lu Jin raised his hand slightly, indicating that they didn't need to be polite.
"..."
Everyone turned their attention to Bai Shixue in silence.
It was her intention to call Mr. Lu here. Until now, she has not specified what she found.
Noticing everyone's gazes and seeing that Mr. Lu Jin had arrived, Bai Shixue no longer concealed anything and frowned and said, "When I was competing with Hu Jie from Dongxiang Village, I found that the guy's Qi was not good. .”
"The Great Luo of All Worlds"
"Is there something wrong with his Qi?"
Lu Jin frowned.
Since she was the person he summoned, of course he knew something about Bai Shixue's abilities. This girl could swallow other people's Qi for her own use. The so-called "off" must be that Hu Jie's Qi was mixed with something. Problem stuff.
"His Qi is mixed with a disgusting smell. If I guessed correctly, this guy should be in collusion with people of all genders." Bai Shixue replied.
"is that so……"
Lu Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, "Xiao Bai, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"
Although he had long thought that many forces would intervene in this conference, now it seems that things are getting more and more troublesome.
Not only the company, the strangers in the world, but also the mixed-race family, and now even Quan Xing's group of lunatics are involved.
"No, I noticed it immediately after taking Hu Jie's Qi! I can't remember the disgusting taste wrong!" Bai Shixue's face showed an angry look, and a face flashed that she hated so much. In his mind, "The root of disaster—Shen Chong!"
"Mr. Lu, the reason why the management of this conference was not strengthened was to avoid alerting others, right?" She asked Lu Jin her question, "I heard that three people died in the first few days of the conference, but Longhu Mountain did not The news was not spread, and it was even suppressed.”
"Yes, yes, no one cares about me being impersonated..." Zero smiled awkwardly and raised his hand.
"It's not that I don't care..." Lu Jin sighed slightly after hearing this, "It's that I can't."
"Can't control it?"
"Do you know how many forces have come to this conference overtly and covertly? Compared with these guys, Longhushan can only be considered a weak group. If it weren't for the support of the old heavenly master, we don't know how lawless these guys dare to be! "Lu Jin said angrily, anger evident in his words.
"So, does the Shen Chong you are talking about have anything to do with the three people who died?" Zhi Jinhua seemed to have discovered something and asked with a frown.
"There are exactly three flavors that I tasted in Hu Jie's Qi that are not his own." Bai Shixue replied, "That is Shen Chong's ability of 'loan sharking'."
"usury?"
"Shen Chong can give his abilities to others... People who have acquired this ability can absorb other people's Qi by killing others. However, for every person killed, a certain proportion of the Qi absorbed will be obtained by Shen Chong himself as interest... ...And the interest will increase every time you kill someone." Bai Shixue explained, "As the power obtained becomes less and less, people who borrow money from Shen Chong often fall into a state of crazy killing because of their desire for power! "
"Oh? It's interesting."
A dangerous smile appeared on Lu Jin's face after hearing this.
Everyone couldn't help but feel ashamed when they saw the smile on the old man's face. It looked like... someone was in trouble.
"Are there any other important discoveries?"
"We!" Wang Ergou and Shan Shitong looked at each other and raised their hands together, "The two people who followed Zhang Chulan from the company are not simple, whether it is Feng Baobao or Sun Haoran..."
"I know about Sun Haoran."
Lu Jin nodded slightly.
This boy is the person that the old guy Angers is paying attention to. Although Angers and the old Heavenly Master seem to have a good relationship, he is just not happy with this old guy, so of course he will also pay a little attention to the people the other person is paying attention to.
"But what happened to Baby Feng?"
"This..." Wang Ergou didn't know how to explain, "It's hard to say... but I think if you meet this girl face to face, you will understand what I mean."
"Oh? That's interesting."
Lu Jin smiled slightly and said, "Okay, do you find anything else?"
"No more." Everyone looked at each other.
"Okay, now I'll give you a task."
"What mission?"
"Go and deal with that guy named Hu Jie first, do you understand what I mean?"
"Understand, understand! Hehehehe."
"The children have grown up..."
Looking at the backs of the boys getting ready to leave, Lu Jin touched his beard with an emotional smile on his face.
But the smile quickly disappeared.
He suddenly protected Lu Linglong behind him, frowned and shouted towards the woods nearby, "Friend, come out now that you're here. I, Mr. Lu, hate guys who hide their heads and show their tails the most in my life."
"Rustling rustling——"
A sound of leaves stirring came from above, and then Sun Haoran's figure emerged from the forest.
Taking off the leaves on his head, he showed an apologetic smile, "I'm sorry, I was just passing by...did I bother you to talk about something?"
He got lost after going down to the cliff before. He couldn't find the way back to the ground, so he had to transform and jump up directly. However, because he had never jumped so high before, he used too much force and accidentally fell into the woods. middle.
Speaking of which, this was indeed a misunderstanding. If you really want to talk about it, he should be the one who came here first. But just as he was about to leave, a large group of people came and surrounded the place, because he was not sure what happened. thing, so he could only choose to hide in the tree temporarily.
"Who is it? It turns out to be a guy from the company."
Lu Jin looked at the self-conscious figure with an intriguing smile on his face, "Why, you kid has something to do with me?"
"No, no, no, it's really a misunderstanding." Sun Haoran explained, "I have been here before you got old. You haven't noticed this, right?"
"Of course." Lu Jin rubbed his fists and nodded lightly.
"So I really didn't mean it..." Sun Haoran scratched his head in embarrassment.
"But I did it on purpose..." Lu Jin whispered.
However, these words could not escape Sun Haoran's ears.
You old thing, you knew I was here and you deliberately discussed it in front of me, right?
For some reason, he had an ominous premonition and was about to leave.
"Hey, kid, don't leave in a hurry."
"!?"
Sun Haoran turned around abruptly.
So fast.
This old guy is indeed not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Things seem to be getting a little troublesome. With his normal strength, it is obviously impossible to defeat this old guy. How about transforming and fighting? It seemed unnecessary. He didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble, and Lu Jin's purpose did not conflict with the company's, so he should be regarded as a 'friendly army'.
"What do you want?"
"Is this the question I should ask?" Lu Jin smiled and patted Sun Haoran on the shoulder, "You heard our conversation, I can't just let you go."
"But I didn't mean it..." Sun Haoran sighed.
What is this called? Blackmail! Naked blackmail! This old boy definitely did it on purpose!
"But I did it on purpose."
Lu Jin stopped pretending and showed his cards.
"Just tell me what to do!?" Sun Haoran spread his hands helplessly. It's impossible to fight. Regular companies will have conflicts with people who have a "flawless life". It doesn't seem good to spread this. "My dear brother, The district chief is still waiting for me to come back, so if you have anything to say, just tell me."
"Region leader? That brat Xu Si, right? Stop using this to pressure me." Lu Jin let go of Sun Haoran's shoulders and said angrily, "I don't want to embarrass you, brat. I just want to discuss something with your company."
"Speaking."
"You saw those boys just now, right?"
"Um."
"That's easy to handle." Lu Jin said, "I would like to ask people from your company to help take care of them. After all, I am the one who called here, and I have to ensure their safety."
"That's it?"
"That's it."
"Huh, you can just say it out loud. Isn't it our company's responsibility to eliminate violence, protect good people, and support justice?"
Sun Haoran rolled his eyes while talking in official terms. This old boy originally wanted to get free labor, but he probably dug a trap for him because he was too shy to talk.
"Then I'll trouble you."
Lu Jin looked like "You're a very good boy" and smiled and patted Sun Haoran on the shoulder, "I'm not taking advantage of you in vain. I owe you a favor. If you encounter any trouble in the future, just come to me. It's within your capabilities." I will never refuse."
With that, he laughed and left with an apologetic Lu Linglong.
"Is it within the capabilities..."
Sun Haoran looked at the old man's retreating back speechlessly.
As expected, he is an old cunning guy. There is a big difference between owing him a favor and owing a favor to the company. This old boy obviously didn't want to have too much to do with the company, so he did this deliberately.
Sure enough, it is "a life without time"...
"Hiss—can't you be gentler?"
Sun Haoran rubbed his shoulder that was a little sore from being slapped. With his current physique, there were not many people who could almost dislocate his shoulder with two taps. This old guy was indeed a monster.
······
"Please come in."
The deacon opened the door and gestured to Zhang Chulan.
Zhang Chulan walked in the door with a normal expression, but she was already wary in her heart.
"Are these two people Wang and Lu among the ten elders?"
Looking at the two old men sitting in the room drinking tea in front of him, Zhang Chulan thought to himself.
"Old man Wang Ai, old man Lu Ci!"
He smiled stupidly and asked the two old people. As a junior, it is a rule to salute when meeting an elder. No matter where you are, you can't go wrong.
"Ha ha!"
Sure enough, seeing how knowledgeable Zhang Chulan was, the two old men laughed and said, "Zhang Chulan, we have finally met you."
"ah?"
Zhang Chulan scratched his head, looking innocent, "Do you two seniors have anything to do with me?"
"Okay Zhang Chulan, don't be so vigilant."
Lu Ci looked at Zhang Chulan's pretentious look and smiled softly.
These old guys are all old and smart, how could they not see these tricks.
"I don't like to beat around the bush. If you call Qi Ti Yuanliu out, you can make whatever conditions you want."
Is it so direct... Zhang Chulan was a little embarrassed, but he still smiled, "Senior, I really don't know what the source of energy is... I won't lie to you."
"Don't worry, Zhang Chulan, as long as you hand over the source of the Qi Ti, we won't make things difficult for you." Lu Ci seemed to not believe Zhang Chulan's words at all, and still refused to give up, "You should understand the principle that a man is innocent but harbors a treasure. I’m here to help you, but if you fall into the hands of Quan Xing’s gang, their methods won’t be as gentle as ours.”
"Full sex? What is that?"
Zhang Chulan asked with a puzzled look.
But he sneered in his heart.
help? This is clearly an undisguised robbery, right? Are you talking so grandly? Do you think I am a three-year-old kid who will give lucky money to my elders?
"Um? Have you never met Quan Xing?"
Wang Ai and Lu Ci looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.
"Is it weird?" Zhang Chulan didn't understand what they were talking about at all, Quan Xing? What the hell is that? Do I have to meet someone before I can join society?
"Of course it's strange..."
Lu Ci touched his bearded chin and thought, "Logically speaking, there is no way those guys are not targeting you..."
He began to believe what Zhang Chulan said. After all, if this guy really had the source of the Qi Body, it would be impossible not to be targeted by Quan Xing's gang of monsters. When did those guys become so honest?
No, there is another possibility.
That's because this kid is so well protected by the people in the company that Quanxing's gang of demons have no chance to do anything to him! ?
Thinking of this, Lu Ci couldn't help but feel the surrounding situation. After confirming that no one from the company came to find him, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"But old man, I have indeed never encountered the Quanxing you mentioned..." Zhang Chulan scratched his head, "But people from the Tianxiahui tried to arrest me before, but fortunately, colleagues from the company helped and prevented them from doing so. Succeed."
