Chapter 372 Chance Encounter

It's useless to think too much. If you want to be domineering in the dungeon, it depends on your strength.

So, I once again started the road of diligently killing monsters.

After clearing a few more monsters, I took a breath and rested on the rock. When I thought about it carefully, I didn't meet anyone I knew along the way.

Normally, Harold and others would not skip work, but even if they did skip work, they wouldn't even meet a familiar person. Could it be that their guild is also returning to work?

And it’s a major overhaul?

Thinking of this, I nodded: Well, it's very possible. If you have nothing to do, repair it, straighten it, clean it, tidy it up. Only when you have a good environment, you will be in a good mood.

Thinking this way, I felt relieved.

After a few more kills, I found the way I came. I guessed it would be afternoon, so I packed up my things and headed back.

As I approached the portal, I suddenly heard someone calling me from behind. I turned around and looked: Oh, what a coincidence, it turned out to be Xu Tengbo.

I stopped and waited for him. When he approached, I said, "Are you also spawning monsters on this floor?"

Xu Tengbo was startled and didn't understand what I meant. I continued, "I'm still wondering why I didn't meet any acquaintances today. Maybe we got sidetracked."

Xu Tengbo smiled and said: "That's natural. The nineteenth floor is many times larger than the previous one. It's normal to take a different path."

I looked at the people following him and said, "Where are Harold's people? Didn't they spawn monsters with you today?"

Xu Tengbo shook his head: "No, Harold seems to have something to do today."

"Oh" I nodded, thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "Is it a private matter?"

"What private matters are you referring to?"

"It's just his other half's problem," I said hehehe, "Did you finally lose your loneliness and go on a blind date?"

Xu Tengbo shook his head and affirmed: "No, blind date is impossible for other people, but it is absolutely impossible for Harold."

I was taken aback: "Here I go, is he a crook?"

"A crooked man?" Xu Tengbo looked confused: "What is a crooked man?"

I leaned close to his ear and whispered: "Oh, he is the kind of person who falls in love with people of the same sex."

"What are you talking about!" Xu Tengbo interrupted me before I finished listening, and said funnyly: "Harold's orientation is very normal."

"Oh, it turns out it's not because of this kind of thing." I spread my hands, looking disappointed.

Xu Tengbo looked me up and down, frowned slightly and said, "Did I really think that, An Xiaoyi, you would have such a hobby?"

I was surprised: "What hobby?"

"You have a hobby of asking about other people's gossip." Xu Tengbo shook his head: "I thought you were not interested in other people's gossip."

I cut it and said disdainfully: "Curiosity is present in everyone, regardless of gender."

Xu Tengbo didn't defend himself, he just sighed and entered the portal side by side with me.

For the next several floors, neither of us spoke. He didn't speak. I don't know why, but I didn't speak because I felt that we had nothing in common to talk about.

When passing by the twelfth floor, I saw Rodney and others fighting monsters again, but this time, he didn't notice me passing by and didn't say hello.

Seeing Rodney, I suddenly remembered something, which was about the person who assassinated me before. So, I turned my head and waved to Xu Tengbo.

Xu Tengbo came closer and I said, "Let me ask you something. Have you found out the result of the person who assassinated me before?"

Xu Tengbo stiffened and said in an embarrassed tone: "This is a bit difficult. Although I checked all his family and friends, I still couldn't find any useful information."

"Oh" I nodded thoughtfully.

In fact, I didn't have any hope for this matter from the beginning. I just wanted to know if he was interested in me, and at the same time, if he had any intention of persecuting me.

However, after this brief conversation, I understood his thoughts: This person either didn’t investigate, or he deliberately concealed something from me. In short, he would only be harmful to me, not beneficial. , as far away as possible, to avoid any trouble in the future.

After making up my mind, I shut up decisively, and the atmosphere fell into awkward silence again.

Soon, I walked out of the underground city gate. After saying goodbye to Xu Tengbo, I slowly walked towards my home.

I passed Harold's guild in the middle, and I looked inside as a habit. I didn't know the two people guarding the door. Besides, I didn't have anything to talk to him about, so I just saved myself the trouble of talking and continued to walk home in a swaggering way. Walk.

When passing by Old Patch's weapons shop, I knocked on the door twice, and Old Patch's shrill voice came from inside: "Please come in."

I opened the door and walked in. Old Patch was cutting materials. From a distance, I could see clearly that it was my ghost-faced spider skin. I smiled and said, "What are you busy with, expert?"

When Old Patch saw it was me, he put down the scissors in his hand and said, "Why are you here free today?"

I spread my hands and said, "Nothing to do, I'm just strolling around. I happened to pass by here, so I came in to take a look."

After hearing what I said, Old Patch laughed and said, "You kid, you are so straightforward. Aren't you afraid of hurting my self-esteem? Why don't you sew clothes for you?"

"No way," I said flatteringly, "You have such a good reputation and have nothing to do with such shameful things. I'll leave it to you, I can rest assured."

"I can talk now." Old Patch smiled like a chrysanthemum in bloom. He touched the sparse beard on his chin with satisfaction and said, "Well, there is progress, a lot of progress!"

I really want to put a big shoe print on his wretched smiling face, so that he can know how thick-skinned he is.

But I can't do this. If he messes with me and loses work and loses money, it won't be worth the loss.

I resisted the urge to stamp on his face, and a humble smile of "Thank you for the compliment" broke out on my face.

After the greetings, old Patch continued to tailor clothes, while I sat on a chair on one side and stared at the door and window in a daze.

People were rushing outside, many of them adventurers returning home. Occasionally, I could see one or two familiar faces, but I forgot when and where I saw them. I just thought they looked familiar.

Just when I was in a daze, Lao Pachi suddenly spoke: "Xiao Yi, I saw that senior official today."

"Well, what kind of senior official?" I said casually.

"You're the one calling him Ha. Ha. Ha. What are you calling him?"

"Harold?" I quickly turned my head and looked at old Patch, with surprise in my eyes: "Where did you see him?"
