When Xiao Cheng killed Wolf Head Mercenary Group and rushed back to Wutan City, Jia Lie Bi couldn't sit still.
At this time, in the Jia Lie Family's hall, he was sitting upright and listening to Jia Lie Te's report about the corpse of Wolf Head Mercenary Group found near the path.
After listening to Jia Lie Te's story, he couldn't help but frown, and his fingers kept tapping the armrest, as if he was thinking about something.
After a moment, he stopped knocking on the handrail, looked at Jia Lie Te and asked.
"Did you find Xiao Cheng's body?"
It's just that his answer disappointed Jia Lie Bi.
"Nothing was found, only the body of Wolf Head Mercenary Group, and... and"
Seeing that Jia Lie Te seemed to have something to say, he said.
"Just say it"
Seeing the permission of the family leader, he expressed his thoughts.
"I found out that the person who ambushed Xiao Cheng this time was Mu Li, the son of Mu She, who had the realm of Six-star Dou Zhe. However, I found no trace of Mu Li's body at the scene. This is very abnormal."
After hearing his words, Jia Lie Bi seemed to be confused and began to frown in thought.
But no matter what he thought, he just couldn't imagine that Xiao Cheng had already brought Mu Li's body to Wolf Head Mercenary Group's camp.
Finally, he sighed helplessly.
"Forget it, I can't think of anything after thinking too much. As long as this plan can succeed, it will be fine. But I always have a bad feeling in my heart, as if a disaster is coming."
This unpleasant premonition seemed to be getting stronger and stronger as time went by, but he didn't know where this ominous premonition came from.
He thought for a while and asked Jia Lie Te to quickly go to Wolf Head Mercenary Group's camp to see what was going on. He always felt that something big happened there.
Jia Lie Te responded and retreated. Qingshan Town Wolf Head Mercenary Group went over there to inquire for information.
Ruyi Zhai This way.
Gu He and Xiao Yi Xian chatted from time to time, which was quite leisurely.
Although it is almost afternoon, there are not many people in the store.
At this time, Yue'er asked with a smile.
"Sister Xiao Yi Xian, what on earth did the store manager do?"
Seeing this curious baby asking about Xiao Cheng's whereabouts, she smiled helplessly.
This girl has asked this question no less than four or five times just now, and now that she is asking again, she has no choice but to say.
"Okay, don't ask. I've asked several times. I don't know where the store manager is. Just work hard."
Hearing Xiao Yi Xian say this, she curled her lips and thought.
"Hmph, that damn store manager must have gone to eat something delicious. He promised me hungry dumplings last time but still hasn't made them for me yet. Lying is not a good boy."
The real person who was complained about by Yue'er sneezed inexplicably on the road at this time, and he didn't know what happened.
"Who is talking about me? It must be that old guy Jia Lie Bi who is scolding me and has not run away."
Xiao Cheng thought secretly at this time.
At this time, Gu He looked outside the store and said.
"There are a lot fewer people coming to the store to buy pastries today."
Seeing Gu He talking about the flow of people, Xiao Yi Xian who was busy at the counter also agreed.
"There aren't as many people as usual. It's probably not time yet."
But at this time, he always felt like a storm was coming, and Wutan City The atmosphere at this time seemed a bit depressing, and he didn't know why.
He looked at the sky and couldn't help but murmured.
"It looks like something big is about to happen."
Then there was a sigh.
He just came back from Mittel Auction House early this morning, and as a result, he had to take on the responsibility of looking after the store for the store manager today.
Alas, it's really a hard life.
He sat on the chair where Xiao Cheng usually sat, and felt that the chair Shop Owner Xiao was sitting on was really comfortable.
You can enjoy it while Shop Owner Xiao is away.
In the lobby of the Xiao Clan Xiao Zhan.
He also got some rumors that someone was plotting against Shop Owner Xiao, but the information he got was a little incomplete.
At this time, Xiao Zhan and Three Elders were discussing the matter in the hall.
"I think it must have been done by that old guy Jia Lie Bi"
Third Elder immediately identified Jia Lie Bi when his temper got angry.
First Elder stroked his beard and said calmly.
"Third brother, don't talk so eloquently. Although Jia Lie Bi is suspected, the conflict with Shop Owner Xiao is not limited to the Jia Lie Family. I remember there seems to be Wolf Head Mercenary Group of Qingshan Town. It's not like they are plotting against Shop Owner Xiao."
First Elder's words were very reasonable, and several people fell into silence.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhan spoke.
"Whether it is Jia Lie Bi or Wolf Head Mercenary Group, as long as someone dares to do harm to Xiao Cheng, we Xiao Clan must help us. If there is no Ruyi Zhai, Xiao Clan would not be developing as vigorously as it is now, and without Shop Owner Xiao, we would not be able to improve the overall combat effectiveness of our Xiao Clan."
Everyone agreed with Xiao Zhan's words and nodded.
"I think we can send someone to investigate again. I feel like something big is about to happen."
First Elder frowned and said.
"It's not just you who feels this way, I do too."
Xiao Zhan echoed.
The atmosphere fell into a brief silence, and finally Xiao Zhan decided to send someone to Qingshan Town to find out what the situation was.
Three Elders also nodded in agreement.
Xiao Yan Since delivering cakes to his father yesterday, he has been practicing hard at his residence.
Although his current state is already Two-star Dou Zhe and is about to enter Three-star Dou Zhe, he can be too anxious. As the saying goes, haste makes waste, and it is better to seek stability than to seek speed.
So he practiced step by step, step by step, and also ate a few leftover pastries to assist him.
At this moment, the amount of Dou Qi in his body suddenly increased.
At this time, he slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of thick air.
"Finally promoted to Three-star Dou Zhe"
"Apprentice, the speed at which you improve your realm is truly terrifying, haha."
Old Yao's voice came to his ears from the ring in Xiao Yan's hand.
Hearing the teacher's words, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"I think the improvement is still a bit slow. At least it must be Five-star Dou Zhe now. This is the lowest bottom line of my prediction."
After hearing his apprentice's words, Old Yao almost choked to death.
Do you think this is still human language? It's only been less than two months and it's already Three-star Dou Zhe. You really don't know how lucky you are when you're in the midst of all the blessings, this kid.
"You kid, just be content. When you reach Five-star Dou Zhe, I will take you to Tagor Desert to practice and make you qualified to become an alchemist, hehe."
When he heard that he was going to Tagor Desert to experience and become an alchemist, he immediately became happy, but when he heard the teacher's somewhat malicious laughter, his body shivered involuntarily.
He asked cautiously, as if he sensed something bad.
"Teacher, you won't cheat me, will you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he received a slap.
"You kid, will I cheat you? I'm doing it for your own good."
Immediately, he laughed and cursed at Xiao Yan angrily.
He thought about it and asked Old Yao.
"It seems that I have to work hard recently. Should I go to Ruyi Zhai to prepare more pastries? Besides, I think this pastry is absorbed quickly and has no side effects. Teacher, what do you think?"
After a while, Old Yao said.
"This is your own business, just decide for yourself. I have to rest. My soul can't fluctuate too much."
Xiao Yan nodded and thought about it carefully, thinking it would be better to go to Ruyi Zhai to buy some pastries.
At this time, Xiao Cheng was rushing towards Wutan City with Xiao Wu carrying Mu She. However, the journey back and forth was quite long, and it would take at least an hour or two to get there.
This made him quite helpless as he was eager to destroy Jia Lie Family, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a bad news notification from the system, which caught him off guard and made him want to curse.
Due to the excessive use of Mechanical Puppet by the host this time, some core accessories of the puppet were damaged. If the host insists on using it again, the puppet may not be able to operate normally due to damage to the core accessories. This news really hit him like a bolt from the blue, and he really didn't react.
"Let me go, system, what you said is true. Is the core component of Xiao Wu damaged?"
Yes, if the host wants to use it to fight, it may not function properly. He said directly through gritted teeth.
"Speak directly to people"
That is what you often call scrapped Xiao Dian These direct words made the corners of his mouth twitch unconsciously, and then he asked again.
"If it's scrapped, can it be repaired?"
It can be fixed, but...
He said impatiently before the system finished speaking.
"As long as it can be repaired, I just want to destroy Jia Lie Family now. If you are trying to stop me, I will be in a hurry with you."
In fact, what Xiao Cheng didn't know was that after he later learned about the rare materials needed to repair Xiao Wu, he immediately regretted it.
Of course, he has lost his temper now and doesn't know anything.
