Chapter 424: A New Generation Pushes Out the Old (asking for monthly votes)

[Reminder: Captain 'Xie Xiaochan' invited new teammate 'Jiang Biyun, third-level demon-killing general' to join the team]

[Current Team: 7]

……

"Let me introduce to you all. This is 'Demon-Slayer General' Jiang Biyun. Please take care of her." Xie Xiaochan said in the team channel.

She had just queued up in the Star Tower in area D2B9 and entered the flight capsule to take off, but she did not turn off the upgrade drive.

From the front line of the Northern War Zone to the Eastern Pole, you have to cross 9+7 star towers, a journey of at least two hours. If you can't chat on the way, you will be bored to death.

As Jiang Biyun joined the team, several other people who had already arrived in the team started to greet her, but because they didn't know each other, their words seemed overly tactful and polite.

Xie Xiaochan was very satisfied. She was the one who connected these people. Most of them didn't know each other. She was the hub of the team, which made her feel very present and safe.

However, discordant voices soon emerged.

"Sister Biyun came very quickly. Have you finished your business?" the nanny in the team suddenly said.

Jiang Biyun replied: "Well, it's almost done. Some of them hide too deep and I can't do anything about it. How about you, sister? Have you set off yet?"

"Hehe, I've already arrived at the East Pole District. After all, it's the frontline headquarters. This atmosphere makes it hard for me to laugh. I'm a little nervous. When we enter the ruins, Sister Biyun will have to protect me more."

"Of course. Thank you for your help during this period," Jiang Biyun replied.

The two of them soon started chatting with each other in the team.

Weird, how did they know each other? Xie Xiaochan was stunned.

The two people in this conversation, Jiang Biyun is a backbone of the Hunter Association in District D3B7.

The other wet nurse is a middle or senior level member from Baiyujing, a powerful force in District D9B3. She is a believer of the Mother Goddess Church who is relatively unpopular in the three paths of life, and a third-level "Evil Fallen Apostle".

Logically speaking, most of the female friends around women in the Mother Goddess Church are from the same background.

Xie Xiaochan thought that it was fine for her to know her, after all, her fighting style had always been special;
But how did Jiang Biyun know her? This sister was always cold and stern, and she thought highly of herself, so she couldn't stand this group of more unrestrained women.

Even the friendship between Xie Xiaochan and Jiang Biyun was established when they were pioneering and they all complained behind the back about the "witch" in the team being dressed too vulgarly.

Why did Jiang Biyun get together with this sister for no apparent reason?
This shouldn't be the case~
Could it be that she was just lying to me in the first place, and that she herself is actually that kind of person?
This, this is very possible... I told you, she herself looks pretty sexy!

Damn! Dirty big-breasted woman!

Xie Xiaochan was very angry, and felt unwilling to be "cheated", but she was actually more curious, so she interrupted as if nothing had happened and asked, "How did you two know each other?"

Jiang Biyun said: "I was hunting down some people in Penglai District and got a lot of help from Sister Rong."

"Oh~ there is such a thing? Why did you go to Penglai?" Xie Xiaochan asked in surprise.

"It's a long story. I was cheated. I was inexperienced and wanted to punish evil and promote good, but I didn't know that people only know their faces and not their hearts. The result was--" Jiang Biyun.

"What's the result?" Xie Xiaochan was slightly stunned and quite curious.

"Nothing." Jiang Biyun said lightly.

"?" Xie Xiaochan was stunned for a moment.

You are crazy! Don't keep people in suspense halfway through your conversation!

She was sitting alone on the plane, and it was the most boring time. She was teased and couldn't bear it, so she asked, "Yingrong, what's wrong with your Baiyujing? Is your ruling ability so poor? Look, you made our sister Biyun cry."

The 'Sister Rong' mentioned by Jiang Biyun, the 'evil apostle' in the team, whose real name is Xiao Yingrong, is one of the directors of Baiyujing. She has the nickname of Gu Se Gu Xiang and looks quite sexy and attractive.

"Xiaochan, you are so gossipy~" Xiao Yingrong said with a smile.

"Tell me something, tell me something~" Xie Xiaochan used her cute tricks.

"I won't tell you unless you tell me the truth about why Nuxu Palace was closed before. Then we can exchange it?" Xiao Yingrong said.

Xie Xiaochan: "Forget it, I won't ask anymore."

"Haha, look, he's anxious again." Xiao Yingrong laughed.

Unlike Jiang Biyun, who was a "grassroots person", she knew that Xie Xiaochan also came from the Nuxu Palace, one of the super powers in the world.

Even though the other party's realm is slightly lower than hers, in Xiao Yingrong's eyes, Xie Xiaochan and Jiang Biyun are different.

There are many things that I can say to Jiang Biyun but cannot say to Xie Xiaochan.

This is the tacit understanding between members of big forces. They have a lot of tricks in their minds. Even if their own sect is rotten to the core, it is impossible to spread it outside.

After a secret contest of words, it was obvious that Xiao Yingrong was the better one.

Xie Xiaochan had a trick up her sleeve. She turned to ask Jiang Biyun, "Sister Biyun, have you been wronged in Penglai? Tell me and I'll help you vent your anger! Everyone knows that I, Xie Xiaochan, am the most loyal and will stick my neck out for my sisters. A person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. You know that I'm the most ruthless, and that's why I'm nicknamed Black Heart Rose!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yingrong felt something was wrong.

As expected, Jiang Biyun said angrily: "That's fine! Xiaochan, you don't know, Penglai is a place full of filth and dirt, and there are beasts everywhere!

"Especially an organization called the Elimination Society, which is worse than pigs and dogs. They talk about morality and justice, but actually do things that are utterly unscrupulous. I almost died at the hands of the Elimination Society, but they are like rats in the gutter, hiding and not showing up. If Sister Rong hadn't provided me with a lot of information, this matter would have become a demon in my heart.

"I've been hunting down these bastards lately, but unfortunately I'm not strong enough to do it. If I had your help, I would be able to succeed!"

She typed a long paragraph, obviously she had been holding it in for a long time and couldn't help but get it out.

Seeing this, Xie Xiaochan's eyes lit up and she said, "Oh~ So it's the Deactivation Society, no wonder! I've heard of this, it's said to be a force that has a big conflict with the local living cultivators. Every living cultivator wants to get rid of the Deactivation Society as soon as possible, right, Sister Xiao Yingrong?"

"... Damn it, why did Jiang Biyun tell everything..." Xiao Yingrong secretly complained in her heart.

She is an old hand, so when she heard this, how could she not know what Xie Xiaochan was talking about?
The "live cultivation" implied in these words is clearly referring to himself.

The implication is - 'Sister Xiao Yingrong, I guess you don't want Jiang Biyun to know that you are using her, right?' Who knows if she will take the opportunity to blackmail me for some internal information of Baiyujing?
Damn Xie Xiaochan, what a slut!

Jiang Biyun is such a fool. Why is her mouth so loose? No wonder she was deceived...

Xiao Yingrong was so angry, but she had nothing to say, so she could only change the subject and said, "Xiaochan, didn't you say it was a group of nine? There are still two people who haven't joined the team? You said one of them was the one who was destined to play the role, so what about the other one?"

"It's a dragon elephant." said Xie Xiaochan.

"Are you a Dragon Elephant brother too?" As soon as the words came out, a "Dragon Elephant" who had already joined the team felt a sense of crisis.

Xiao Yingrong's mood suddenly improved: "You actually prepared two dragon elephants for me today? You, little girl, really make me happy. I will forgive you."

After a while, Xie Xiaochan smiled and said, "He's here, take it easy and don't scare him."

Xiao Yingrong licked her lips: "Xiaochan, you are really unromantic. Let me see who else can fall into my sister's palm and be caressed today, hehehe~"

As soon as she finished speaking, a clear pop-up message appeared in the team channel:

[Hint: Captain 'Xie Xiaochan' invited 'Gu Pan, Level 3 Dragon Elephant' to join the team]

"Welcome, brother Gu Pan. I am so happy to have two brothers Long Xiang accompany me today~"

As soon as the other party joined the group, Xiao Yingrong seemed to turn into a pure and sweet little lamb, and her tone softened instantly.

However, the next second, she looked at the other party's grid ID, and her eyes and mouth suddenly widened at the same time:
"What the hell, someone from the evil sect?!"

……

……

"Hello everyone."

At the frontline dock of Dongyi Island, Xu Shu looked at the several "fuck"s that popped up on the screen and couldn't help scratching his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

My reputation outside seems to have been somewhat ruined. Look how scared people are. Alas~
Xu Shu sighed slightly, opened the team list, and looked at his new teammates.

Except for one "drama man", the other eight have arrived.

Judging from the red coordinates on the map, three people, like him, have already arrived at Dongyi Island;
Among the other four people, one was on the mainland on the opposite bank, and Xu Shu judged that it should be Xie Xiaochan; the other three were in the middle, and had obviously boarded the ferry.

"It's pretty fast. But everyone doesn't seem to like chatting much. Are they all introverted?"

Xu Shu found that apart from the welcome of "Wow, you are a weirdo", there were no extra greetings. This was very different from the lively atmosphere when he was in a team before.

Without thinking much, he turned and walked towards the three people in the team who had already arrived at Dongyi Island. He glanced at the names of several new teammates to see what their occupations were.

After taking a look, Xu Shu was stunned for a moment.

There is an acquaintance in the team!
It’s not because of Jiang Biyun. These are the teammates that Xu Shu chose himself, so he is not surprised.

Anyway, the other party should not be able to recognize that the person who had flesh and blood with her that day was herself, so I am not afraid of trouble.

What really surprised him was the name of a nanny in the team:

Oar, the third level evil apostle!

"Uh, why is it her..."

The corners of Xu Shu's mouth twitched slightly.

This name is so special that he naturally would not forget it. It is the director of a remote area department in Baiyujing.

At the beginning, Xu Shu was still in the "Yinlisi" under the opponent, and encountered a case. In order to pursue power, the local garrison officer degenerated and joined a cult, causing all the people in a village to be contaminated and mutated by demons and tragically destroyed.

I thought our fate was like two lines that intersected by chance, and would never meet again after a brief contact. I never thought that, by such a coincidence, we would be grouped in the same team.

This is really a case of enemies meeting each other again.

"But fortunately, what does what the Conqueror King Yu Mingluan did have to do with me, Xu Shu? She doesn't know me, haha!"

Xu Shu smiled and walked to the destination, a private room in a teahouse. He knocked on the door, announced his name and walked in.

Two men and one woman had arrived first. Xu Shu took a quick look and saw that one of the strong men had an unusual physique. He sat there like an ancient ferocious beast. He was undoubtedly another "Dragon Elephant" in the team, Yan Shan.

The other two, one was a pretty girl wearing a dress that didn't cover her body, and she was obviously the "evil apostle" Paddler.
After communicating, Xu Shu learned that the other person's name was Xiao Yingrong, which sounded very gentle. And as her name suggested, she had a gentle expression, completely different from those glamorous girls that Xu Shu usually saw on the Internet.

The other one has a pointed head and is wearing a very iconic straw raincoat and a fisherman's hat, like a cosplayer.

Xu Shu had seen many people with such conspicuous outfits at the dock. He recognized him at a glance. This guy was the one named Ning Zhaoxuan in the team, the third stage of the "Ferryman" path, a "Soul Catcher"!
The three men stood up and greeted Xu Shu one by one, exchanging names and knowing each other.

After waiting for a while, two more men and one woman arrived at Dongyi Island and gathered at the teahouse.

Stage three of the “Rogue” Path: Ainz the “Butcher”

"Lawyer" stage three, "Accomplice" Lin Zhengxing.

And a stranger familiar to Xu Shu, "General Without Membrane" Jiang Biyun.

The three of them greeted everyone and took their seats without saying much.

Only Jiang Biyun's eyes lingered on Xu Shu for a moment when she greeted him, as if she was a little confused, but she quickly shook her head and lowered her head to sit down.

Apart from that, everyone sat on the sofa, either drinking tea, reading newspapers, browsing the Internet, or closing their eyes and resting, playing their own games and ignoring each other.

The entire private room was extremely quiet, forming a sharp contrast with the bustling hustle and bustle of the streets and docks outside.

So much so that the pretty waitress who came to deliver snacks, who had walked in happily, was frightened by the area of ​​condensation inside, and finally walked out with her tail between her legs.

It is worth mentioning that after Xu Shu sat on the sofa on the left, the other six people were quite self-conscious and all sat on the sofa opposite him, and it seemed that they did not want to sit at the same table with him.

Plus, everyone looked really nervous and restrained, sitting upright and not very talkative, which made the scene look even more weird.

Rather than saying it was a meeting of netizens who were about to fight and explore together, it was more like an extremely formal job fair - the six people were new employees applying for the jobs, and Xu Shu was the ferocious interviewer!
"Are you kidding me... I just did something stupid, there's no need to make it like this, right?

"Also, forget about others, but how can you, an evil apostle, be so serious? You are obviously not like this on the Internet. You clearly want to hold me down and ride me hard..."

Xu Shu glanced at Ms. "Bozouzi" viciously.

Logically, you should be sitting on my thighs and teasing me at this time, and I should be blushing like an innocent little boy!

What is going on now?

Is there something wrong with this world?
Xu Shu complained in his heart and couldn't help but privately message Xie Xiaochan: "Sister Chan, I think this team is a bit weird!"

"What's strange? I'm almost there. Wait for me for ten minutes, be good~" Xie Xiaochan comforted.

“Uh…” Xu Shu was stunned for a moment when he saw the word “good”, but he still asked honestly: “I feel like everyone doesn’t welcome me very much. Everyone seems to be a little bit rejecting me. I seem to be suffering from workplace cold violence!”

"You actually think so? Hahahaha!" Xie Xiaochan.

"What are you laughing at?" Xu Shu was stunned.

Xie Xiaochan said: "Wait a minute and I'll take a screenshot for you."

After a while.

[You have received the photos sent by Xie Xiaochan. ]

[You have received the photos sent by Xie Xiaochan. ]

【You received...】

Six photos were sent in a row. Xu Shu clicked on them and found that the contents of these photos were private messages sent by several teammates to Xie Xiaochan, and the time was during the interval of silence just now.

"Xiaochan! How did you get such a powerful guy? I thought I, who am in the middle stage of the third level, could easily team up with a bunch of you in the early stages, but you suddenly became autistic." - Bo Zhaozi.

"Master Xie, you're not going to kick me out because I'm not good enough, are you? You're making me lose confidence." - Yan Shan.

“Oh my god! Didn’t you say that secret realm was very weak? Are you kidding me? You pulled a strong person out of a very weak secret realm?! This is obviously a high-end game. I’m a little scared. Can you tell me what level the enemy is?” - Ainz.

"Xiaochan, are you serious? Is this a teammate worthy of us?" - Jiang Biyun.

……

"Forehead……"

After seeing these screenshots, Xu Shu fell silent.

Good god! He had previously thought that everyone was so indifferent because the reputation of "the cunning man" was too bad and everyone was rejecting him.

So this is the reason?

This is too...

Xie Xiaochan laughed and said, "Don't think too much. The main thing is that you pushed the entire team to a level that doesn't belong to us at all. Wait for me to go and explain things to them. Is it okay to give your real name? Hahahaha~"

Xu Shu suddenly said, "It's okay. By the way, I have a question later."

"Hmm? What did you say?" Xie Xiaochan asked.

"Why don't you feel ashamed of yourself?" Xu Shu asked.

"What a joke! I am a favored child of heaven. Although you have a powerful person backing you up, you are nothing special. What's more, I even think that the powerful person behind you actually likes me more!" Xie Xiaochan answered righteously.

"..." Xu Shu rolled his eyes secretly and was speechless. He didn't know how to answer this extremely narcissistic woman.

This attitude should be that of the "arrogant" Xie Xiaochan among the seven Xie Xiaochans, right?
But to be honest, to some extent... her intuition seems to be quite accurate...

Xu Shu waited for a moment.

After a while, he saw several people at the scene looking at their own upgraded drives. The expressions on their faces were stunned at first, and then became interesting.

"Hahaha, I see! I told you, people of the cunning sect are heroic!"

"Brother Xu, I'll rely on you this time!"

"I'm sorry for offending you just now, Brother Xu. I'll drink this cup first as a token of my respect!"

With Xie Xiaochan's mediation, the originally frozen atmosphere at the scene instantly broke down, and everyone became noticeably more lively, sitting next to Xu Shu one after another to try to get close to him.

Serving tea, passing water, peeling fruit, all aspects were taken care of, making Xu Shu feel like a star.

Especially the 'paddler' Xiao Yingrong, who showed her true colors now, sitting on Xu Shu's thighs, rubbing her buttocks against his neck, and said with a sweet breath: "Brother Shu, when we enter the dangerous ruins, you must protect me well~"

This treatment was like going from hell to heaven, and Xu Shu even forgot his dislike for the Mother Goddess's wet nurse for a moment, and enjoyed it very much.

At first he was a little surprised at how quickly his teammates changed their expressions, but after thinking it over he felt relieved.

This is the treatment that the masters of the human list deserve!

Don't be fooled by these people who seem to be laughing and joking on the surface, as if they don't take the ruins seriously. But in fact, who doesn't know that conquering the ruins involves risks and benefits, and is a business that requires you to put your head on the belt?

So once the misunderstanding was resolved, Xu Shu became the only focus of the scene and the real core.

The golden signboard of “Renbang 360” is here, this is called the shadow of the famous tree!

Now, he is no longer the “newbie” who would be kicked out for asking a few more basic questions.

For this team mainly composed of early-stage third-level transcendents, he is definitely a pretty strong thigh!
Although Xu Shu understood that this enthusiasm was not sincere, he still accepted the goodwill expressed by everyone with peace of mind.

He knew even more clearly that if he declined or hesitated, it would only make everyone feel uneasy;

Accepting it generously can, on the contrary, stabilize the morale of the troops and consolidate cooperation. This is called popular support.

For a while, the temperature in the room continued to rise, and the teammates who were originally strangers to each other started to fight enthusiastically.

Xie Xiaochan, who arrived last, saw such a scene of debauchery and wine as soon as she entered the room, and she was immediately "furious".

She felt as if she was stabbed in the back again. She angrily glared at Xu Shu and grabbed Xiao Yingrong who was clinging to him: "Damn bitch! I shouldn't have told you the truth just now!"

At this moment, everyone straightened their expressions and looked at Xie Xiaochan in unison, asking, "Master Xie, there is another person who has delayed our elder brother Xu Shu's mood. But we are holding you accountable."

Xie Xiaochan said, "Is there anyone who doesn't trust me? Here she is. Let me introduce her to you all. This 'Xi Ming Ren' will be a very important main force in the future. You all have to protect her well."

She clapped her hands, pulled the "drama man" into the team, and moved the mature woman behind her to the front.

The person was wearing a white shirt and a short black skirt. At first glance, she looked like a female career elite. She pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses and said, "Please take care of me, everyone. I'm Gu... um, Xu Shu?"

She was halfway through her words when her expression suddenly froze and she looked at Xu Shu, who was in the center of the crowd.

Xu Shu was also stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Um, aunt?"

He and Gu Yueming looked at each other, and no one spoke for a while.

Others were even more surprised to see this mature woman dressed too fashionably. Their eyes moved back and forth between Xu Shu and Gu Yueming, and finally they looked at each other secretly, their eyes becoming strange and gradually ambiguous.

The entire private room fell into a long silence again...
