"To be honest...if I had a choice, I would rather have nothing to do with you." Yue Rongdao looked at Guan Lingxiao, his face uncertain.
"Hey..." Guan Lingxiao grinned, "Lord Yue City...it's you who came to see me, and it's you who said you didn't want to have anything to do with me. Why did you tell me everything?"
"By the way, why did you come to me in the middle of the night?"
Hearing these words, Yue Rongdao was also a little embarrassed. He coughed twice softly: "Originally, I wanted to expose you..."
"It turns out it's useless, right?" Guan Lingxiao looked very relaxed.
Yue Rongdao also laughed along with the other party: "No young man under the age of thirty can reach your level."
Guan Lingxiao smiled brilliantly: "So?"
"So...either you are a genius that is rare to see in a hundred years, or your actual age is much older than Guan Lingxiao. Considering the possibility of the former...the latter is more credible." Yue Rongdao talked. And talk about it.
"I don't care what your opinion is on this matter..." Guan Lingxiao crossed his arms, "How about you consider my proposal?"
Both of them seemed to have relaxed their vigilance towards the person in front of them, but there was a deeper meaning in every word they said.
"Haha, I think you can be more honest. After all, I don't even know what you look like... Is this how you make friends?"
"That depends on whether you are a friend of 'Guan Lingxiao' or a friend of 'me'."
"Is this different?"
"Of course it's different."
"Then I would like to ask you... When you come to Jinguan City, do you think Guan Lingxiao wants to come, or do you want to come?" After going around in such a big circle, Yue Rongdao finally asked the answer he wanted to know most. .
"Guan Lingxiao, I'm here for my friends." The first half of the sentence is clear, but the second half is ambiguous.
Yue Rongdao sat on the Grand Master's chair in the main hall of the Council House and pondered for a long time.
There are really too many mysteries about the person in front of him, the hidden true face of Mount Lu, the unparalleled miraculous martial arts, and the unpredictable personality... This person is worth winning over and befriending, but this person is extremely ambitious - —How did Yue Rongdao know that this person was ambitious? Nonsense, if the other party has no ambition, why does he have to pretend to be Guan Lingxiao? Isn't it good to be a mountain villager? The Eternal Life Alliance token in his hand is genuine, so the real Guan Lingxiao has most likely been killed by the other party.
The relationship between Yue Rongdao and Song Guichao could not be said to be familiar. He had no need to expose this person's identity. Jinguancheng had always had the attitude of "everyone sweeps the snow in front of their own door and doesn't care about the frost on other people's tiles." Guan Lingxiao is really Fake originally has nothing to do with Yue Rong Dao.
It's just that now that I know the secret of "Guan Lingxiao"... I'm really riding a tiger and it's hard to get off.
It would be fine if I killed the three of them here neatly and without leaving any traces, but how would I explain it if the Eternal Life Alliance came to find them? Of course, the people of the Changsheng Alliance would not believe the one-sided statement that "Guan Lingxiao is someone else pretending to be someone else". Instead, they would put Jinguan City into a situation where they would be criticized by their peers.
If he really followed the mysterious guest's wishes, would Jinguan City be dragged into another abyss by this person?
Thinking of this, Yue Rongdao really regretted it. Couldn't he just send the three of them away? Why do you have to fake your identity?
In fact, after Da Xie Zhan told the whole story of the Xie family's massacre, Yue Rongdao already knew that they were testing whether Jinguan Cheng was involved. Although Yue Rongdao was not the leader at that time, he knew that Jinguan City had nothing to do with this matter, but he kept them for one night because he saw something strange about Guan Lingxiao.
Unexpectedly, I ended up putting myself in it.
"Lord Yue City...has he made a decision?"
"Jinguan City can maintain certain contact with the Changsheng Alliance, but the Lord of Jinguan City... will only become friends with the leader of the Changsheng Alliance." This was Yue Rongdao's strategy. He used Guan Lingxiao's identity to defeat the opponent's army.
It is both a temptation and a requirement.
At worst, Yue Rongdao is not at ease with this mysterious guest, so he needs a handle from the other party; at worst... if you want to "make friends" with others, you must first show some sincerity. bring it on?
At the same time, this is also a warning - public to public, private to private, friends are mutual help between two people, rather than one party trying to drag down the other party's entire net worth.
After hearing what Yue Rongdao said, the mysterious guest sneered: "The Lord of Yue City is really good at making conditions!"
Of course, Yue Rongdao would not fall into the trap so easily, as if he was instructing the other party to do something: "Logically speaking, Song Guichao and I are equal in identity. If we consider Jinguan City and Changsheng Alliance, The forces of Song Guichao are all trying to reach out to me."
"If you dare to show your true face... then I can give you more trust." Yue Rongdao insisted that the other party did not dare to show his true face to others.
With a "swish" sound, the mysterious guest unexpectedly took off the mask of Guan Lingxiao on his face, revealing an equally young face.
"Let's talk about it first... My mask is easy to take off and hard to put on, and it is useless after taking it off. The materials are difficult to find, and the production process is also very complicated - you owe me this."
The face under the mask could not be said to be delicate and handsome, but rather a rather stern face, with sharp edges and corners, as if cut by a knife or an axe - because it was far away, even if Yue Rongdao's eyesight was quite good, he could only see this much. .
"So you are really so young..." Yue Rongdao muttered.
"Yes, Lord Yue City must be very happy to have such a talented young man as his friend, right?" The mysterious guest actually talked nonsense.
Although Yue Rongdao felt a little stomach ache at Mysterio's hypocritical words, he still recognized the "genius boy" part of the other party's words - this person is not necessarily a rejuvenated god, right? In other words, whether he is a genius boy or a rejuvenated boy, this person is definitely "powerful".
Powerful and ambitious, this kind of person is extremely dangerous. My friend, you may not be able to do it. But it might be worth taking advantage of it.
Thinking of this, Yue Rongdao also relaxed a little, and took the initiative to show his kindness: "I know what the three of you are here for. Since you have shown your true face according to my request, I might as well give you an explanation. ——The affairs of the Xie family have nothing to do with our Jinguan City, and the Luban Tiangong Map is not in our hands... If you want to find the whereabouts of the Tiangong Map, you might as well go find the people in 'Xinmo', as far as I know - Xinmo has only emerged in these years, maybe it has something to do with Luban Tiangong Tu?"
These words undoubtedly diverted trouble to the east - how could he, Yue Rong Dao, know the whereabouts of Lu Ban's Tiangong Map? It's nothing more than causing some trouble for this newly emerging sect of mechanism arts - the trio of the Everlasting Alliance led by the best mysterious guest and the unsightly colleague Xin Mo were beaten to death, and Jinguan City watched the fire from the other side and stayed out of the incident.
"I know that the Tiangong Map is not in your hands. Of course, it is quite outrageous for a sect that claims to be the descendant of Mozi to make a fortune using the map of its enemy, Master Lu Ban..." Mysterious Guest said: "That's not what I want to ask you. , but...Xiong Qi is from your Jinguan City, right?"
These words made Yue Rongdao suddenly change his expression.
It's not that the origin of Xiong Qi, one of the four general managers of the Tianbian Guards, is a secret. The Tianbian Guards are famous all over the world, and everyone in the world is familiar with the origins of these four people. Xiong Qi's rare surname and his kung fu are not at all known. It was difficult for people to tell that he came from Jinguan City, and he himself had never concealed this fact - but Mysterio's words obviously didn't just mean this.
Although the "autonomy" of Jinguan City was promised by the imperial power, only a few people knew about the channels inside. Xiong Qi was a good channel for conveying information to Jinguan City.
At the same time, he also has other functions.
"Who...are you?" Yue Rongdao breathed out lightly. If the other party only has unique martial arts and a mysterious identity, why does he still know so many things?
"Hey... City Lord Yue, don't you think that because your surname is Yue, you can cross the line casually?" Mysterio said nonchalantly: "I only know this little stuff, and I told you all about it - you know Guan Lingxiao's secret , I also know about Xiong Qi, we are even."
Yue Rongdao almost rolled his eyes in anger - this statement seemed reasonable, but in fact it was nonsense. The emperor has no control over who is under your mask of Guan Lingxiao. In the final analysis, it is just bullshit in the world. Who knows if you take off your mask whenever you see someone? But Xiong Qi's seemingly bright and hidden line is only known to a few people in Jinguan City.
"Could it be that...you are from the imperial court?" Yue Rongdao thought of the most likely conclusion.
"If you think it is, then it is." The mysterious guest faced the Yue Rong Dao and exited the door, clasping his fists with both hands: "Haha, farewell. By the way, if you just want to kill me now, you probably won't be able to do it. You and this house I definitely can’t beat the other two inside together, but it’s absolutely no problem to escape.”
"If we are friends, you will definitely not suffer, because I have many friends - they can help me and they can help you." After leaving these words, the mysterious guest suddenly disappeared from Yue Rongdao's sight. , leaving only one sentence lingering: "Now...just pretend I never came tonight."
