Let us first understand the current chaotic situation that is surging with undercurrents.
Zhu Ying, Zhang Jianyuan, Taoist Bai Xue, and Xie Zhi.
The young monster, the new capitalist, the bad-mouthed exorcist, and the adult demon.
Each of these four suspicious guys had found their target. Each of them was up to no good. Each of them wanted to do a little work and thought that they were safe.
Zhu Ying, an innocent young monster, was like a piece of pure white paper that Sun Lang, who was up to no good, and Dongfang Xin, who had a slightly skewed worldview. Out of the monster's nature of survival of the fittest and the habit of obeying the strong, she had unconsciously become Sun Lang's henchman. Brother Sun Lang said that he wanted to set a trap for the Taoist, so she would work hard for more canned herring!
And the key to setting a trap for the Taoist was Zhang Jianyuan.
Zhang Jianyuan, who was targeted by Zhu Ying, was undoubtedly targeting Taoist Bai Xue. In the past few days, he had been fighting a battle of wits with this bad-mouthed Taoist. His business experience and ability to organize people had been greatly improved, and his vigilance had also been greatly increased. He was now somewhat grateful to this Taoist. Even yesterday, he did not come to make trouble, which made Zhang Jianyuan feel empty in his heart, as if something was missing …
So this time, when he found Taoist Bai Xue, he could not help but show a gentle smile.
"I miss you so much, you coward …"
"I always feel that if I fight with this Taoist for another month, I will become an elegant capitalist, as Master Sun said."
The above were the goals and thoughts of the carefree man and the monster. They did not know the truth, had no worries, and were very happy like fools.
Daoist White Snow, on the other hand, was in a lot of trouble. He was responsible for monitoring Zhu Ying, and he had an affair with Zhang Jianyuan. He even found a demon. As the one who knew the most among the four, he was obviously the most miserable one.
"The little flower monster has just been awakened and is very immature. She doesn't know how to hide her monster aura and protect herself, so she can be easily detected by her own kind.
"That demon seems to be an adult. It must have discovered Zhu Ying's existence … The disciples of Taoism have the mission of monitoring the demon. I have an agreement with Swordsman Sun that I can't let him take Zhu Ying away. Fortunately, he hasn't discovered me yet …"
But his attention must be all on Zhu Ying at this time. I can't go and warn him, or he will be aware of it. Besides, there are so many people here. If they fight, the aftermath will hurt the innocent. Fortunately, this demon should have the same concerns. He doesn't care about the life and death of human beings, but he certainly cherishes his own life. Otherwise, he would have taken Zhu Ying away long ago. He certainly doesn't want to make a big deal out of it.
Xie Zhi was indeed thinking this way … … Discovering Zhu Ying was just a pleasant surprise. Even though the messenger had emphasized many times that he was not allowed to cause trouble when he was delegating the mission, every demonic beast had the duty of finding companions and guiding them. This was not considered causing trouble — — Marquis Jingan's fu was heavily guarded and needed to be slowly plotted and could not be rushed. So right now, he could first rescue this young demonic beast from the hands of humans and see what abilities she had and whether she could be of any help.
But there were so many people here, so he couldn't directly take her away … Mingzhou City was an important town in the north of the empire, and there were many powerhouses guarding it. Once they found out, there would be endless trouble.
Thinking of this, he made up his mind. He pushed the people in front of him aside and squeezed in the direction of Zhu Ying.
Taoist Bai Xue, who had been paying attention to Xie Zhi's movements, saw that the demon was moving toward Zhu Ying. He was anxious and squeezed in from another direction.
Zhu Ying followed Sun Lang's instructions and took Dongfang Xin's hand. She said with a smile, "This stinky tofu … seems very interesting. Brother Sun Lang said to let us have a taste. Let's go there now!"
Dongfang Xin nodded and said, "Okay, okay, let's go on the stage and have a taste … Zhang Jianyuan knows Sun Lang, and he also knows me. He will let us go on the stage!"
At this moment, the construction of the combat arena had already been completed. The disciples of the Embroidery Hall had set up numerous large wooden tables and lifted up numerous jars of Stinky Tofu. They opened the lids, and a mysterious smell slowly emanated from them … This smell was so familiar to everyone, to the extent that even if they'd heard of its story in the past and knew that although it smelled smelly, it seemed to be very delicious when eaten, they still couldn't help but shrink back at the sight of it.
Only the real warriors, those who didn't know what was good for them, and those who only wanted money, went up to it.
… Of course, there were also a few messy people mixed in the crowd.
Zhang Jianyuan paid attention to his old enemy. He waved his hand and called a little brother over. He whispered, "Tell the people below that no matter what this Taoist priest wants to do, when he gets close to the arena, push him up …"
The little brother smiled knowingly. In the past few days, everyone had become familiar with the Taoist priest. They already knew how to play.
Zhang Jianyuan's eyes swept across the audience. Suddenly, he saw two beautiful girls in the crowd. One of the girls in blue jumped up and waved at him. She looked very familiar … He looked at her carefully for a moment. That little girl was the one who stood beside Master Sun in front of the Fishing Immortal House.
Thinking of this, his face suddenly changed. He carefully glanced at the audience a few times and didn't find that horrible female devil. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief … It's good that she didn't come.
But the girl in yellow next to this girl was a woman he had never seen before … Could it be that she was Master Sun's new lover recently?
Sigh, Master Sun is good at everything, but he is too bold. He is with a female devil who is like a celestial fairy, but he still dares to fool around. I haven't seen him for a few days, and I don't know where he found such a girl. He is too bold …
[However, since they are Great Hero Sun's treasured family, I naturally have to take care of them … Eh? Could it be that Great Hero Sun hasn't been able to leave recently? So, he entrusted these two ladies to appraise the stinky tofu and see how well I have done?
Oh, oh, Master Sun is so considerate. I am also looking forward to Master Sun's teaching and guidance …
Thinking of this, he became even more excited. He reached out and called another little brother over. He whispered, "Do you see those two girls?
Ask them to come to the stage. Remember, be polite and don't offend them … "
In the past few days, Big Incense Head's business had become more and more prosperous. His prestige in the Embroidery Hall had risen instead of falling. His orders were carried out thoroughly. The little brother who received the order used the unique communication method of the Embroidery Hall to assign the task. Several shills, who were hidden in the crowd in plain clothes, understood. They separated the crowd and respectfully invited Zhu Ying and Dongfang Xin to the stage. The two pretty girls attracted the attention of the audience, making the atmosphere under the stage more and more heated.
Xie Zhi squeezed to the front, but it was too late. Zhu Ying and Dongfang Xin had already stepped on the stage, and he didn't catch them. The demon hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to follow them or wait and see.
Taoist Bai Xue, who had also squeezed to the front, also noticed this and breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at Xie Zhi, who was in front of him on the left, as if nothing had happened. He was thinking about the probability of success if he stabbed Xie Zhi in the back now … But the next moment, a calm voice came to his ears, "Welcome, we have been waiting for you for a long time."
Then he felt a huge force behind him, pushing him forward. Taoist Bai Xue didn't notice it and involuntarily rushed forward. He even knocked Xie Zhi, who was in a daze in front of him, to the front of the crowd!
The Taoist Bai Xue's heart skipped a beat. But before he had time to observe whether the demon was hostile, a familiar voice that he would never forget in his life sounded from above with a smile.
Zhang Jianyuan looked at Taoist Bai Xue with a smile. His tone and expression were sincere, as if they had met for the first time. The elegant capitalist's smile was not strange at all. "Oh, since this guest is so enthusiastic, please come to the stage and have a taste of my shop's stinky tofu …"
Then he turned his head and glanced at Xie Zhi, who was also squeezed to the front. When he saw his handsome face, out of the instinctive hostility of a man to a man who was more handsome than him, he also showed a kind smile. "This guest, would you like to have a taste?"
Taoist Bai Xue's eyes suddenly flashed with a bright light.
Zhang Jianyuan, you don't seem to be … useless.
