Chapter 438 Is He Pretending? No, No, It's Impossible!

Good guy.

So tough!

The four people in the City Lord's Mansion were shocked by Xu Xiaoshou's determination.

This guy is acting too much like a human being.

Even though just a moment ago, everyone thought that Xu Xiaoshou was definitely the body of the ghost beast, they couldn't help but feel doubtful in their hearts because of his resounding decisiveness.

Maybe, the vigil was really a mistake?

Watch the night's face was cloudy and uncertain.

Xu Xiaoshou is right.

He really couldn't argue with that.

Tonight, my series of interrogations about this guy were indeed filled with too many subjective emotions that even Vigil himself was not aware of.

"No, I wouldn't be like this on weekdays!"

"Why did things change tonight? What went wrong?"

Vigil wondered.

Just forget about your own mistakes first.

But after this series of questions, Xu Xiaoshou's answers were not inappropriate.

Even before the final refusal, he showed everyone that he was powerful enough to kill the throne.

Not just one serving!

Under such circumstances.

Everyone had no choice but to believe that for a spirit refiner with such a spirit of indomitable spirit to cooperate with the interrogation to this extent, it was really the limit.

Xu Xiaoshou did really well.

No matter how demanding you are, it is probably difficult to achieve any other result.

"'Raging Titan'?"

Vigil murmured, surprisingly not angry.

He knows it too.

If Xu Xiaoshou is really the body of a ghost beast, even after asking this question tonight, this guy is still flawless.

Then, there is no point in continuing to persist.

One side is pretending to have a perfect plan, and the other side is only one-sided information. Under the comparison between the two, it is impossible to find Xu Xiaoshou's tail.

And if this kid is really innocent...

To be honest, Shouye felt that what he had done was too much.

Maybe if it were him, the final decision might be even more decisive than that of Xu Xiaoshou.

"I'll just trust you once."

His indifferent eyes fell on Xu Xiaoshou's angry face and he spoke softly.

"Trusted, passive value, +1."

Done?

Xu Xiaoshou almost felt relieved, but suddenly realized.

Perhaps, this is the last hurdle for the vigil.

Once you relax, you are really hiding something.

And this "what", at this moment, I believe everyone can see it clearly.

"Believe it or not, it's your own business, what does it have to do with me?"

Xu Xiaoshou spat, but he did not dare to go too far and just said gloomily: "If you don't investigate Zhang Taiying's matter, but instead come to mess with me, it will be very uncomfortable."

"To be honest, it's hard for anyone to trust you."

Watching the night smiled lightly, noncommittal.

In my heart, I finally let go of that suspicion for the time being.

So peaceful.

This guy really acted too much like an ordinary person who had been wronged.

"Are you pretending..."

The crow's feet at the corners of Shou Ye's eyes were wrinkled.

But no matter how hard you squint, you can't detect even a trace of something wrong in Xu Xiaoshou's words and deeds.

"That's all."

"Just leave it like that!"

Looking at the night, I realized that it was too late for the vigil.

If we continue to investigate, there is no chance that another person will fall down.

"I can believe you, but you should know better if you don't show your so-called 'violent giant'."

Vigil said meaningfully: "As a suspected body of ghost beasts, even if it is 'suspected', you may live under the surveillance of red clothes in the future."

"oh?"

Xu Xiaoshou's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Really?"

"nature."

Vigil responded.

But there seemed to be something wrong with this boy's tone.

Sure enough, when Xu Xiaoshou heard his promise, he was so happy that he slapped his thigh.

"That would be great!"

"With the protection of red clothes... Bah, surveillance, do you think you all have to take action if ghosts and beasts continue to come to me?"

"Standing idly by is probably a grave sin, right?"

Xu Xiaofeng was counting with his fingers.

"Do I have a special physique? One is Tianxuanmen, the other is City Lord's Mansion."

"It's only been so long, and with my physique that attracts ghost beasts, I can't even sleep for a few more nights before a new ghost beast comes to my door."

"But, if there is red protection..."

The faces of the people in the City Lord's Mansion suddenly changed when they heard Xu Xiaoshou's muttering.

Did Xu Xiaoshou really come into contact with ghost beasts before?

More than one?

No wonder.

No wonder this guy could calmly kill the ghost beast transformed by Zhang Taiying.

It would take someone else to do this, and it would be impossible to meet him face to face.

Before the fight even started, I was scared to death.

After all, the name of the ghost beast makes even the throne look down upon it!

Can……

Listen to what this guy said, what is going on?

Has he already begun to think about Hong Yi?

How big a heart this guy has!

Before the matter in front of him was over, he had already begun to plan what he called "being monitored". How could he make better use of it?

The whole person in Vigil felt bad.

Xu Xiaoshou was the first person he had ever seen who could use Hong Yi as a bodyguard.

At this moment, he suddenly wondered whether his previous "surveillance" with a threatening tone was a good thing or a bad thing.

"No, maybe Xu Xiaoshou is still pretending?"

"He wants to trick me and make me take back my words and stop monitoring him?"

Suddenly, Shouye's mind flashed with inspiration and he thought of this possibility.

At this moment, Xu Xiaoshou had finished his fingers and looked up. He tried his best to hide his excitement in his eyes.

"You want to send me a few people to monitor?"

Xu Xiaoshou calmed down and said, "Monitoring the ghost beast host, even if it is suspected, there is a possibility of an outbreak, right?"

"I think your strength is very good, senior."

"Like those rubbish thrones of Zhang Taiying..."

Xu Xiaoshou said, suddenly felt a chill on his back, and quickly turned back to look at a few people on the side, panicking: "I'm not talking about you, no, don't take it personally, hehe."

"What I mean is..."

He looked at Shouye again: "Like those throne-level people, they may not be able to stop a ghost beast host like me, right?"

"If you want to monitor me, you can send more people, really!"

Xu Xiaoshou looked sincere.

Shouye felt his head swelling.

This is the reincarnation of a dog-skin plaster, you Xu Xiaoshou!

How can you do it, every sentence is stuck on the most uncomfortable point for others?

It is obviously a special "monitoring", and the monitored should be terrified.

Why did everything change when it came to you, Xu Xiaoshou?

"Cursed, passive value, +1."

Shouye was speechless.

He was powerless to refute.

Surveillance?

At this moment, it was neither surveillance nor no surveillance!

"Huh?"

Facing Shouye's silence, Xu Xiaoshou's reaction was also silent.

He just tilted his head slightly and snorted.

Shouye immediately felt a headache.

This guy, even a slight move is so hateful, hateful, and disgusting!

"Remembered, passive value, +1."

"Where is your friend?"

Shouye suddenly turned a 180-degree turn, and everyone was stunned.

"What friend?"

Xu Xiaoshou was stunned.

But he was secretly shocked in his heart.

This old guy was really the most difficult person he had ever fooled, and the one with the clearest logic.

Even if everyone was confused and dizzy by himself.

But this old man, every time it seemed to be over, would hit the point that was most difficult for him to answer and most likely to make mistakes in the new question.

Friend?

What other friends could he have that could be favored by Shouye?

Of course, it was only Xin Gugu!

At that time, at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, it was because Xin Gugu might have leaked that he didn't know if he had smelled the breath of the ghost beast, so he knew Shouye.

Although this question fell on Xin Gugu's head.

But if he didn't answer it well, he would probably be greatly implicated!

"The one holding the golden Zen stick that I met in the City Lord's Mansion is your friend." Shouye said.

Xu Xiaoshou thought to himself that it was true.

In an instant, all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind.

But he only held on to one.

According to the repeated contacts, Shouye must be a very irritable person.

If he really smelled the breath of Xin Gugu's ghost beast, how could he let him in?

So, at that time outside, he only suspected Xin Gugu because of his experience.

Or rather...

Xu Xiaoshou listened to the "golden Zen staff" in Shouye's words, which was obviously very memorable.

He was eyeing this "Xuzhiwu" that could seal the breath of ghost beasts?

Xu Xiaoshou knew about "Xuzhiwu" because he had talked about the topic of ghost beasts in the manor with Xin Gugu.

Although this guy didn't say much, the existence of "Xuzhiwu" was still revealed.

As a red-clothed man, Shouye should have a deep understanding of this thing.

At that time, he would also focus on it and then suspect Xin Gugu.

But!

As long as he didn't really smell the breath of ghost beasts, Xu Xiaoshou would have a way to get around it!

There were all kinds of thoughts in his mind, but the truth was only a moment.

After hearing Shouye's words, Xu Xiaoshou's eyes turned, and he seemed to remember something, and said casually: "He, I don't know."

"Don't know?"

Such a casual tone made Shouye confused.

Originally, in his expectation, if it was related to the ghost beast, then this young throne with special fluctuations should also be implicated.

Because to be honest, compared with Xu Xiaoshou, based on his experience of guarding the night, Xin Gugu's existence is more like a ghost beast host.

But at this moment...

Xu Xiaoshou's tone, as if treating an ordinary friend, made him feel that he was suspicious.

"Pretending?"

"Is it pretending again?"

Shouye still had this thought in his mind.

But he finally gave it up.

It can't be pretending.

If it was really pretending, then the young man in front of him should not be a young man.

Such a deep scheming, such a natural acting, even Shouye felt that at this moment, after this question, he would not be able to have such a perfect cover-up.

"Don't know?"

Shouye also said casually: "You came in together, how could you not know where he went?"

"Isn't that right, senior?"

Xu Xiaoshou opened his mouth wide at once: "Is it possible that he is going to poop and pee, and I have to follow him? After all, we are all adults, and I am not his father or mother, so how can I keep an eye on him?"

Watching the night said directly: "I saw him following you out before?"

When he was in the banquet hall, he was one of the few people who could notice the movements of the whole place.

Xin Gugu and Xu Xiaoshou, one behind the other, said they were both going to poop and pee. He was the first to stay awake and didn't believe it.

"Have it?"

Xu Xiaoshou was confused, "I remember that he disappeared after coming in, and I don't know where he went to fool around with this guy..."

Indeed.

Vigil verified step by step.

Indeed, as soon as the two of them came in, one went to the wine table and the other mingled with the young people in the ring. Maybe Xu Xiaoshou really didn't notice?

"No way?"

Xu Xiaoshou suddenly widened his eyes: "Could it be that, senior, you really suspect that he is the body of a ghost beast?"

"This, in one night, did you suspect two people? No, three people?"

"To be honest, I haven't known him for a long time..."

Xu Xiaoshou said evasively.

It's like a normal person who doesn't want to get into big trouble.

In fact, he really only met Xin Gugu after entering Tiansang City. Indeed, this friendship lasted for less than a few days.

Vigil is still thinking.

Xu Xiaoshou tried again and said, "Could it be that you heard it wrong again?"

"There should be a junior sister in my banquet room. Why don't you go and smell it? Maybe she is also one?"

"Perhaps, they are not only ghost beasts born from different dimensional spaces, but also ancient powers that swallowed the source of the birth of the dimensional world? Are they still in a sealed state at this moment?"

"To be honest, I have always felt that my junior sister is very weird..."

Xu Xiaoshou looked very serious.

But Vigil smelled a strong smell of ridicule.

"snort!"

He tossed his sleeves and almost left in anger.

But looking at Xu Xiaoshou's various physiological reactions, they don't look like the fluctuations that would occur if he lied.

No solution……

The vigil was exhausted.

If you can't even figure out Xin Gugu, you really have nothing to ask.

That’s all.

Xu Xiaoshou was so powerful.

From now on, if he really wants to find out that this guy is the body of a ghost beast, he will be the first one to keep vigil and kill him.

Instead, he had to present a trophy for "acting as an emperor" in person before cutting off this kid's head.

So true!

It's just... so true!

It's still so real that it makes people wonder if it's just pretending.

But if it is said to be the perfect "truth", Vigil will actually become suspicious.

But Xu Xiaoshou...

It’s so flesh-and-blood!

That just-right determination, that slightly innocuous flaw in the language.

On the contrary, it makes this "truth" a little more pyrotechnic and no longer a perfect lie of illusory idealism.

"Lost."

After asking all night, Shouye realized that he didn't ask anything.

Not only that, he was also asked back to the point where he directly overturned all the conclusions before the war, and only found out that the dead Zhang Taiying was the body of a ghost beast, which was an unreasonable fact.

Can it be useful?

Everyone is dead...

At this point, no matter what the outcome is, essentially, I am a complete loser.

Vigil sighed.

His problems were over.

Xu Xiaoshou passed the test.

"well!"

As soon as he lowered his head, Vigil turned around.

He didn't bother to say hello to Fu Zhi and others, so he went directly back to the banquet living room to explain the last things.

"senior."

Xu Xiaoshou stopped him as if he was not afraid of death.

"What?"

Watching the night turned back angrily.

He hated and loved the boy in front of him from the bottom of his heart.

so amazing!

This is the best combination of mind, talent, and strength that he has ever seen throughout the entire continent, no one!

"Senior, are you leaving?" Xu Xiaoshou seemed to still have something to say.

"right."

Watch the night and cherish the words like gold.

He felt that the amount of conversation he had with this boy tonight had been exhausted, and if he continued talking, he would only be angry.

After all, I no longer have any problems.

"I should be fine, right?" Xu Xiaoshou asked.

"You are still suspicious!"

Stay vigil and drink.

"Then my friend is still suspected?"

Watching the night was startled, then nodded slowly: "Yes."

"Where is my junior sister?"

Shouye's face darkened, thinking that something was wrong with Xu Xiaoshou.

If you keep talking, something will happen!

He didn't want to talk anymore.

He flew up directly and flew towards the direction of the banquet hall.

Xu Xiaoshou rolled his eyes angrily.

Then he held his mouth and shouted loudly:

"Senior, I think there is something wrong with you!"

"You should have a problem with your nose. It may be rhinitis. Go see a doctor quickly!"

"..."

Watching the night stumbled as he was flying in the void, and he almost got so angry that he flew back and beat Xu Xiaoshou wildly.

But he finally endured it.

That’s all.

After all, he had wrongly blamed someone, and not apologizing was already too much. If he beat someone up after saying a few words, if word spread, Hong Yi's reputation would not be very good.

"Being forgiven, passive value, +1."

"Ah."

"None of them are accurate."

Xu Xiaoshou sneered, as if he was a villain after winning a battle.

He turned his head and looked at the four people in the City Lord's Mansion.

"brush!"

There was a soft sound, and the four of them took a step back.

"cough?"

Xu Xiaoshou immediately looked a little embarrassed.

Why is this?

You four thrones are still afraid of a mere innate like me?

What are you afraid of?

"I am a good person."

Xu Xiaoshou stretched his neck and said in disbelief: "I am really not the body of a ghost beast. Brother Fu, you won't believe that old guy's lies, will you?"

old man……

Several people in the City Lord's Mansion twitched their lips.

"Be admired, passive value, +4."

Lao Fu Zhi watched Xu Xiaoshou turn his head and immediately felt the same headache as the vigil.

From the moment they met, Xu Xiaoshou brought a shocking explosion of flowers, and he knew that the young man in front of him was anything but simple.

But I never expected that the extraordinary side of this guy that I expected was actually his normal form.

That smooth talk, that method of blowing up his own city lord's palace to pieces...

This is called not simple!

Compared with these, the sea of ​​flowers?

That’s bullshit!

"No, not so much..."

Fu Zhi waved his hands and said, "I have believed that Brother Shou is innocent from the beginning to the end."

"Of course, Hongyi has his own rules. Routine interrogations are usually unavoidable. Everyone can take a step back and relax." He started to act like a good guy.

"Of course I know the rules in red clothes, but this old man is too subjective. He prejudges everything and makes it seem like I have done something wrong." Xu Xiaoshou nodded.

This comment from one's own people is sometimes crucial.

It's hard to say, but it can still reach the ears of Vigil, which will alleviate some of his suspicions!

"I did something wrong..."

Fu Zhi and others looked at each other.

From the corner of his eye, he could see the entire city lord's palace that was completely blown to pieces.

Except for those places protected by special spiritual formations, there are not many surviving buildings here.

"Haha, of course Brother Shou didn't do anything wrong."

"Brother Vigil is absolutely right. The murderous attempt on the throne you encountered in the City Lord's Mansion was indeed due to the negligence of the guards."

"We deserve compensation."

This time Xu Xiaoshou was embarrassed.

He looked at Lao Fuzhi's smile and thought that all of these old guys were really smiling.

"No, not so much..."

"After all, it was my fault that the city lord's palace was blown up."

"Of course, I know that Brother Fu is one of our own, and I will definitely not care. In this case, I won't say such polite words as compensation."

Fu Zhi's smile immediately solidified.

do not!

We can go back to the same size!

"right?"

As Xu Xiaoshou said this, he stepped forward and put a hand on his brother Fu's shoulder.

"hehe."

What else can I do if I stop paying?

He could only give out a bitter smile with a smile on his face.

"good."

…

Banquet room...

Pooh.

On a barren, barren, scorched land.

Unkempt but excited savages gathered around, chattering.

What's missing here is a campfire.

It's a grand event.

"Did you hear that explosion?" the savages discussed.

"Are you blind? You couldn't see the loud roar just now?"

"That's a battle for the throne!"

"The key is, did you hear the words that the senior in red said before he left?"

"I surmise that the one who can make him let go of his responsibilities in the spiritual formation must be the presence of ghost beasts in the city lord's mansion!"

"Ghost beast?"

"What is a ghost beast?"

There are many knowledgeable people present, but most people really don’t have much exposure to the secrets of ghost beasts.

"I don't know. I heard that they are terrifying evil beings in legends. They are some terrifying devils that can cause turmoil in the continent."

"But the fact that decent forces like the City Lord's Mansion can mix in with ghost beasts also shows that the current situation is not simple!"

"Can……"

"Didn't Princess Fu just now say that it was a battle between Zhang Taiying and Xu Xiaoshou?" someone wondered.

"Zhang Taiying and Xu Xiaoshou? Are they crazy? Who said it was really Fu Yinhong?"

"Something's wrong. Could it be that there really is a ghost beast among these two guys..."

"Xu Xiaoshou! That must be Xu Xiaoshou. This guy looks like a ghost beast. He has a jade face and a white face. He makes people jealous just by looking at him. He must be a ghost beast!"

"Ahem, ghost beasts shouldn't be extremely ugly..."

"..."

The crowd of onlookers who were originally in the banquet living room seemed to be peaceful people after the explosion.

They managed to survive under the protection of several throne realms. The only thing they could do at this moment was to eat the invisible melon.

After a long time.

After watching the battle and asking questions, Vigil suddenly returned to the ruins of the banquet hall.

"came back."

Everyone was overjoyed to see the old man come back.

But this guy had a terrifying sword mark from his shoulder to his feet, and his clothes were blown to pieces, which really shocked everyone.

"Ghost beast, so scary?"

Vigil didn't say much. He glanced at the void behind him, strode forward immediately, gave a few instructions to the great spiritual formation masters, and ran away without looking back.

As soon as the person left, Xu Xiaoshou led the four thrones and fell to the ground.

"Being watched, passive value, +1220."

Just like a dream, the familiar feeling of the information bar swiping across the screen came, and Xu Xiaoshou was so relieved that he really wanted to scream.

"Little junior sister, leave!"

He shouted, then suddenly paused: "Oh, by the way, have you got the quota for the White Cave?"

Mu Zixi ran over in response, her twin tails bouncing.

"We should wait for them to announce the quota for the White Grotto, right?"

"wait?"

Xu Xiaoshou looked at this girl.

"Yes, we're all waiting for you."

"wait for me?"

"Yes, after all, you account for the majority of the quota in the White Grotto." Mu Zixi said with a smile.

"Big head, how much?"

Xu Xiaoshou asked, patting the little girl's head.

Before Mu Zixi could respond, he felt the murderous gazes coming from the void.

When he raised his eyes, the crowd was filled with scarlet eyes.

"Being envied, passive value, +886."

"Being jealous, passive value, +1211."

"Being resented, passive value, +1220."
