Chapter 716 Big Surprise
Liu Changqing was accepted.
There is no doubt about this.
As a personal spirit refiner who cultivated to the path of killing alone.
To be honest, Liu Changqing had received olive branches from various major forces, but he never intended to condescend to others.
But now, he has no choice.
The matter of the ghost beast has made his life a mess.
Xu Shao's invitation...
The First Floor of the Sky, an organization that dared to harbor the ghost beast...
This is the only organization that Liu Changqing has tried every means to inquire and contact during this period of time. It may be suitable for him to continue to survive!
It is not that the conditions given by the other party are too tempting...
Liu Changqing is not stupid. He knows that Xu Shao has never paid anything in this matter.
The role played by the other party is just a middleman, communicating between him and the ghost beast, two incompatible existences.
But this matter, after all, is not something that can be measured by interests.
It itself is a matter of life and death!
Liu Changqing has no choice but to accept it.
As for Xu Xiaoshou, Tianshang Diyilou also had to choose to accept Liu Changqing, even though he knew nothing about this person's character and personality.
However, things were so dramatic...
From the first step Liu Changqing took into the box, from the moment the other party discovered that Tianshang Diyilou was hiding a ghost beast.
The outcome of both parties seemed to be doomed.
Xu Xiaoshou had never even thought of letting Liu Changqing go.
He knew that the risks he would have to take would be greater.
The only way to let go of the person who knew the secret of Tianshang Diyilou hiding a ghost beast seemed to be to let a corpse go out...
Liu Changqing also knew this!
He did not doubt that Tianshang Diyilou had the ability to kill him.
Because this was a force of a semi-saint descendant.
We are all smart people, and some things don't need to be said clearly.
After all the obvious interests and the interdependent relationships in secret, etc. were cleared up.
Running in both directions was the only doomed result.
"Mr. Xu!"
Taking the scroll, Liu Changqing seemed to have received an olive branch from a powerful force that he had once despised, but more like he had grabbed the last straw after drowning. He looked solemn and serious, and whispered: "Old man, I have communicated with 'it'."
As he spoke, a faint pattern of heavenly secrets appeared on his body.
Obviously, he was accepting the inheritance of the divine power.
A smile appeared on Xu Xiaoshou's face: "Very good, very good, Mr. Liu..."
"Mr. Xu, you don't have to call me Mr. Liu, just call me Changqing." Liu Changqing had decided to accept the new identity and seemed to understand the current situation. His tone was respectful at this time.
After all, it was a semi-saint force. To be honest, it was not a loss for him to join the group.
Xu Xiaoshou was not polite: "Okay, Xiaoqing, in this case, your dog-controlling object?"
Liu Changqing's old face twitched.
This Mr. Xu is really rude!
Xiaoqing...
You can call me this title?
"I have it."
Liu Changqing took a long breath, trying to adapt to the rhythm of young people's speech now, and said: "Once 'it' took possession of me, it brought me this tower, which can perfectly hide its breath."
As he spoke, Liu Changqing touched the small tower pendant on his waist.
The small tower has nine floors, the rhyme is not obvious, and the power is completely restrained.
It looks like an ordinary pendant, and Xu Xiaoshou had never even noticed it before.
"If there is a control object, it will be easy."
Seeing this thing, Xu Xiaoshou was relieved.
If Liu Changqing didn't have this thing, he really didn't know where to find one.
Of course, now thinking back.
If Liu Changqing really didn't have a control object, he probably wouldn't be able to survive for a month as a ghost beast in a place like Wangcheng where all kinds of people are mixed.
"You can talk to him first. Xin Xiaoku should know much more about the precautions of ghost beasts than you do." Xu Xiaoshou pointed to Xin Gugu.
Leave Liu Changqing completely to Xin Gugu.
Given their personalities, they would not openly ask about the ghost beast at the trade fair.
The voice transmission ended.
Mu Zixi, Xiao Wanfeng, and Liu Lu all looked over eagerly.
Including the high-level Night Cat executives who were secretly watching from the surveillance screen.
Everyone knew that the private time just now was the last additional condition for Liu Changqing and Xu Shao to reach a deal.
"How is it?" Mu Zixi asked.
"Mr. Liu is very satisfied, and he also took a fancy to our Tianshang First Floor and plans to join." Xu Xiaoshou naturally nodded.
The words were in response to the junior sister, but secretly, they were said to the people of Night Cat.
Liu Lu was surprised.
Another Zhan Dao is going to join Tianshang First Floor?
It's only been a few days...
The speed at which Tianshang First Floor's strength is expanding is simply outrageous!
Liu Lu's reaction was also the reaction of the high-level executives of Night Cat.
However, Mu Zixi didn't think so.
The little girl only frowned and looked at Liu Changqing up and down, her eyes stayed on his beast face, and she muttered: "You don't even know what he looks like, how dare you let this old guy sneak in?"
Liu Changqing, who was still trying to deal with Xin Gugu and gain experience, was stunned and his body was stiff.
Liu Lu was also dumbfounded and his jaw almost dropped.
My goodness...
This is a killing way!
How dare this little girl talk like this, isn't this offending people?
Even if you are the second master of Tianshang First Floor, as a junior of Xiantian, you should not treat a guest of Zhan Dao like this, right?
The other party joined Tianshang First Floor, not married into Tianshang First Floor!
It has dignity, okay!
However, before Liu Lu finished complaining in his heart, a more astonishing scene appeared.
Liu Changqing took off the beast mask, asked Xin Gugu about something, and then squeezed out a smile on his old face.
It can be seen that this smile is too stiff and too awkward!
But Liu Changqing is still maintaining it, and explained very seriously: "Miss Mu, don't worry, the old man... is very kind."
Liu Lu: ? ? ?
Mu Zixi: ? ? ?
Xiao Wanfeng: ? ? ?
At this moment, even Yuan Haisheng and Nangong Yin, who were paying close attention to Box 209 in the backstage, were frightened.
Who is Liu Changqing?
Zhan Dao!
A strong man of the Way of Slaying, placed in the East Heavenly King City...
No, even if placed in the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Temple, he has a place.
Why do you have to do this, to force out such an ugly smile to a little girl?
Mu Zixi was originally muttering to herself, but she never thought that the old man in front of her would treat her so carefully?
She was also frightened for a moment, and bounced behind Xu Xiaoshou, grabbing her senior brother's collar, "Xu..."
Bang!
Xu Xiaoshou gave this girl a violent slap on the head, and the little girl grimaced in pain and kept cursing.
"Mr. Liu, you are too polite. We don't need to pay attention to the little girl who speaks without restraint."
Turning his head, Xu Xiaoshou looked at Liu Changqing solemnly: "I invited you to join the First Floor of the Sky because I value your strength..."
Then he pointed at the little junior sister, "If you offend such a little girl who doesn't know the limit in the future, you will not hesitate to take action and teach them a lesson directly."
At this moment, Xu Xiaoshou felt that he had turned into Liu Huangshu and almost picked up the little junior sister and threw her to the ground.
"Cursed, passive value, +1, +1, +1, +1..."
Liu Changqing thought to himself, how dare I?
Just now he asked Xin Gugu and learned from her that this girl was a grandmother and a little ancestor of the First Floor of the Sky.
Otherwise, there would be no need to be so angry.
But at the moment, Xu Shao was so respectful and Liu Changqing was relieved to get the respect he deserved.
As a ghost beast, he was in the First Floor of the Heaven. I thought that the dignity of the Zhan Dao was gone. However, Xu Shao could still treat people like this, which meant that he still had some potential.
This was not a "dandy" force of semi-saints as rumored.
Instead, it was an organization that would give respect to the corresponding level and treat all subordinates equally, with the demeanor of a big power!
They gave him face.
Liu Changqing, who was determined to belong, finally stopped hesitating, "Xu Shao, don't call me Mr. Liu anymore. Joining the First Floor of the Heaven is also my original wish. If you have any instructions, just ask."
Xu Xiaoshou's eyebrows moved.
He originally wanted to give Liu Changqing some face in front of outsiders.
Unexpectedly, he gave him a way out.
Liu Changqing, on the contrary, looked like he was determined to follow him until death.
In this case, Xu Xiaoshou felt that he didn't need to be hypocritical anymore.
"Okay!" He waved his hand, "That's it, Xiaoqing, you stay here first, study the scroll, and then follow me to leave this place later!"
Liu Changqing nodded calmly, not bothered by the name "Xiaoqing" at all.
Mu, Xiao, and Liu on the side were dumbfounded again.
I thought that Zhan Dao entering the building was scary enough.
I never thought...
Xiaoqing?
After just chatting for a while, the relationship between Xu Shao and Liu Changqing has become so close?
Nangong Yin and Yuan Haisheng looked at each other in the backstage, and their expressions seemed a little confused and bewildered.
If they hadn't known Liu Changqing before, they really thought that Liu Changqing was actually a Zhan Dao cultivated by the semi-saint Xu family!
This, this, this...
It's too outrageous!
What did these two people talk about secretly just now?
Without paying more attention to other reactions, Xu Xiaoshou dealt with Liu Changqing's matter and seriously thought about the future of Tianshang No. 1 Building.
There was absolutely no way to prevent Liu Changqing from joining the gang this time.
All Xu Xiaoshou could do was to try his best to divide this sudden bad thing into two good things: "ghost beast" and "slaying the way".
But Liu Changqing's movements at the trade fair did indeed cause unnecessary trouble.
First of all, the trade fair was being watched by people from the Holy Spirit Temple.
Although it was unknown who was in Box No. 1, he must be a smart person to be sent to the trade fair to watch.
And as long as he was a smart person, the fact that Liu Changqing asked about the ghost beast at the trade fair would not be easily revealed.
Even if it was a small and impossible thing in the eyes of outsiders, the tiny possibility reflected in this incident was that Liu Changqing was a ghost beast host!
As long as the people in the Holy Spirit Temple were not stupid, they would definitely choose to verify this.
Because according to the practice of the Red Clothes: it is better to kill the wrong person than to let him go.
And after a conversation in Box No. 209, Liu Changqing unexpectedly chose to join the First Floor of the Sky on the spot.
The content of the conversation between the two sides was still the information about ghost beasts...
These things are too suggestive!
No matter how much outsiders dare not believe it, they can't help but think in that direction: Does the First Floor in the Sky really have any intersection with ghost beasts?
Is there?
No!
Xu Xiaoshou fell into a state of self-deception.
He had to be able to deceive himself so that he could hide even Hong Yi's arrival.
A few days later, when Hong Yi came to visit, it was the worst outcome Xu Xiaoshou had expected.
"Can Xuwu resist the red-robed inspection?"
Xu Xiaoshou looked at Xin Gugu and Liu Changqing, who were chatting happily, and fell into deep thought.
I vaguely remember that that day at the city lord's palace in Tiansang City, as soon as I came out of the night vigil, I directly questioned Xin Gugu openly and secretly.
It seemed that he could sense something even through the object.
If Hong Yi really wants to knock on the door and catch someone sniffing him, I believe that even if he has a control object, not even a ghost beast body can withstand it, right?
"I have to think of a way..."
Xu Xiaoshou felt a sense of crisis.
In this trade fair, he made too many things related to Void Island, and the Holy Temple will definitely investigate.
Maybe after one or two little people's inspections, maybe the red clothes will appear.
Therefore, there must be a way to completely divert their attention.
At least, before the trial in the royal city begins, the other party cannot find out about him.
And the procrastination method…
Xu Xiaoshou narrowed his eyes.
After much thought, it seemed that there were not many methods at all, and most of the ones that popped into his head were strategies from military books he had read before.
"Founding in the east and attacking in the west?"
"Surround Wei and rescue Zhao?"
"Building the plank road openly, but secretly destroying the old warehouse?"
Put another way.
In other words, do you want to do something bigger so that the Holy Temple has no time for other people to take care of it?
So here comes the question...
Where to explode?
…
Box No. 1.
The on-site trade fair is still in full swing.
But at this time, the two people in the Holy Temple were no longer focused on trading treasures.
The token on Chu Lisheng's waist shimmered, and Cheng Ji was alert. He frowned and asked, "Have the men in white and red come to the royal city for reinforcements?"
Chu Lisheng picked up the token, sensed it, and then nodded: "Master Cheng, who knows everything, has arrived."
"Where are those people who set up defenses and formations in the Yunlun Mountains?" Cheng Ji asked again.
"The mission has been completed!"
Chu Lisheng responded while communicating about the tokens: "Except for some of the manpower left in Pixiu Mountain and other places to guard the spiritual formation, including members of other branches within the Eastern Heaven Realm, most of them have been deployed and are ready to take action at any time."
After a pause, Chu Lisheng asked belatedly: "Master Cheng, when do you plan to close the net?"
"Tonight."
"Tonight?" Chu Lisheng was surprised.
"Um."
Cheng Ji nodded, rubbed his temples and said:
"It is true that the manpower is deployed to defend the royal city for the trial, but..."
"It is indeed not easy for Night Owl to gather so many people to the trade fair, and we cannot let down their hard work."
"Tonight, every trade fair member's departure will be subject to cross-examination by white-coated and red-coated people."
"I'm a little tired, but... maybe Night Owl will give us a big surprise before the trial in the royal city?"
