I have a relic of heaven

Chapter 22: Misunderstanding

Breeding area, riverside with tens of thousands of people.

"I smelled your scent and came."

The proprietress twisted her waist and walked over calmly, staring at the old woman with a golden bell on her waist:

"I'm trying not to kill you with my sword."

"I'm sorry about what happened back then. It was my fault."

The old woman lowered her head:
"But this time, in this Dog-free City, we really have a big operation, and we need your help afterwards. You can kill or chop me up as you wish."

"Ah."

The lady boss sneered:
“Help? I helped you ten years ago, and then what? You turned around and ran away in the end, leaving me alone to face that celestial demon. If I hadn’t broken through the realm in the battle, my body would have been cold and icy by now!”

".I'm sorry." The old woman closed her eyes in pain: "I'm sorry."

The proprietress looked at him coldly, and spoke after a long while:
"Why did you [Buzhou] set your sights on this little demon city?"

"It's hard to explain right now." The old woman said softly, "I came here on the orders of the Human King."

"The Human King ordered it, but all you got is a golden bell?"

"No, I'm just the vanguard, I'm afraid of alerting the enemy."

The old woman said in a low voice:
"A silver bell and two copper bells also came. I was too embarrassed to see you again, so I asked them to find you and pass on the message on my behalf. I didn't expect that you would find me as soon as I entered this demon city. You have become stronger."

"Yes, thanks to you, I have become stronger. Hmm?"

The proprietress was stunned before she finished her words:
"Where did you ask those three little guys to look for me?"

The old woman was also stunned and replied:

"We have been keeping an eye on your tavern."

The proprietress ignored him and just rubbed her forehead. Damn, Xiaomu is still in the tavern!

That's it.

Nothing will happen.

………………

"Is this right?"

In a dark alley, in front of a tavern, a smartly dressed woman who looked to be about twenty-six or twenty-seven asked with a frown.

"Yes."

Beside him, Zhao Quanting nodded and lowered his voice:
"The senior from Inuzure Castle lives in seclusion here. Although the adults said that this senior is not one of us and does not belong to [Buzhou], he is still a 'like-minded' person and can be trusted."

The capable woman took a breath:
"Hope everything goes well."

Another younger boy reached out and patted the girl on the shoulder:

"Sister Yaoyao, it will go smoothly. I have always had good luck. This is my first mission, so I am sure everything will go smoothly. I am curious about the relationship between you and this boss."

After a pause, his gossip fire burned fiercely:
"Let us bring an apology to the owner of this tavern. I smell something terrible!"

Lu Yaoyao rolled his eyes:

"Maybe it's a debt of love from the Lord? Forget it, let's keep this to ourselves and don't tell anyone else when we get back!"

While talking.

'Squeak~'

The wooden door in front of the three people was opened, and a figure that could not be seen clearly in the dim light stood behind the door and spoke in a low voice with a creaking sound:
"The shop is closed and not accepting customers."

Zhao Quanting took a step forward and carefully looked at the young man in front of him who seemed to be not much older than Li Shou.

The young man was very handsome, wearing a coat. He was holding the door with one hand and had the other hand tucked inside his coat. His eyelids were drooped, so his eyes could not be seen clearly.

"It is endless, the mountains are gone and the people remain the same."

Although Zhao Quanting was surprised at the young age of the "boss", he still spoke the code in a low voice and then bowed and said:

"Buzhou, Tubu, Yinling Zhaoquanting."

The capable woman and the young man bowed together:
"Tongling, the road is long." "Tongling, Li Shou."

After saying this, Zhao Quanting couldn't help but look up and glanced at the young man in the shadows again, smelling a lingering scent.
The breath was as deep as the ocean, mixed with the intensity of the day and the depth of the night, like the coming together of yin and yang, vast and endless. Although the breath was gradually fading away, it gave Zhao Quanting a terrifying feeling!
The young man in the shadow behind the door did not make any response, but just stood there silently, without even raising his eyelids, and his pupils were still unclear.

Zhao Quanting hesitated for a moment and said tentatively:

"It is endless, the mountains are gone and the people remain the same."

Zhou Mu lowered his head, forced to half-close his eyes, and was extremely puzzled. What are these? ?
It sounds like a code.

Should I say something in reply?
There was silence for a long time, until the three people outside the room became alert. Zhou Mu sensed the aura that these three people inadvertently revealed, which made him frightened, and said calmly:
"come in."

He turned into the tavern without looking back.

Zhao Quanting and the other two breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other, and Lu Yaoyao asked in a low voice:
"Is it really here? You are too young."

She confirmed it again and again.

Zhao Quanting nodded and responded in a low voice:

“Now I am even more certain.”

After a pause, he added:

"This person's aura is extremely obscure. It gives me the illusion that the bright day and the dark night coexist in him. And because he looks young, it shows how powerful and terrifying he is."

Lu Yaoyao frowned, thinking back to the extremely obscure aura of the young man just now, just like the coexistence of night and day.
Yes, a powerful mysterious person who lives in seclusion in the breeding area of this monster city can only be the 'senior' mentioned above.

The three men came to their senses and hurriedly walked into the door, looking around the small tavern.

"sit."

The three of them sat down obediently and saw the mysterious boss walk into the back room. Soon, he brought out three cups of wine and placed them on the table.

"Drinking."

The three of them looked at each other and hesitated for a moment. Zhao Quanting glanced at the young man who still had his eyelids drooping, then obediently took another sip.

"senior."

He put down his wine glass, swallowed the inferior wine, and said cautiously:

"Senior Jin Ling asked me to bring you a message. We don't want to offend you, but we have no choice. This city is about to change."

Zhou Mu felt that they had misunderstood something.

He guessed that these guys must be here to find Sister Bai. He originally thought that they were here to buy and sell intelligence. The phrase "not considerate" was a code word for buying and selling intelligence.
But now it seems.
It does not seem?

Zhou Mu coughed:
"The boss lady isn't here."

Zhao Quanting, Lu Yaoyao and Li Shou looked at each other, huh?
What do you mean?
They were unsure of the senior's mood, and were in awe of him, so they didn't dare to ask.

After another long silence, Lu Yaoyao couldn't help but speak:

"The senior holding the golden bell also asked us to bring you a message. She was the one who wronged you back then. Although she has come to this city now, she is too embarrassed to meet you."

Zhou Mu was stunned again, the fire of gossip burning fiercely.

Hey!
In just a moment, he had imagined a tragic drama in his mind. Sister Bai was really good at hiding things.
'He' and 'she' have the same pronunciation, so Zhou Mu couldn't tell them apart.

He coughed again. Although he was very curious about the story, Zhou Mu still said directly:
"You've got the wrong person. I told you, the boss lady isn't here."

As he spoke, he leaned forward, lowered his eyes, and emphasized:
"I am male."

The three of them looked at each other, wondering if they had found the wrong person?
Zhao Quanting didn't think so. He started brainstorming and frantically analyzing the current situation.
My master asked me and others to apologize on her behalf, but he did not come in person. I am afraid it is not only because of the deep emotional debt in the past,
The main reason may be that my master is already in his seventies or eighties, but this mysterious senior still looks like he is eighteen years old?
But why did this mysterious senior say that he had found the wrong person?

Yes, he was unwilling to accept his master's apology. It seemed that this mysterious senior was deeply hurt by his master.
Thinking of this, Zhao Quanting's gossip fire burned fiercely, but he restrained himself well and spoke carefully:
"senior."

"I'm not a senior." Zhou Mu interrupted, wondering why these three guys still called him a senior?
They have very strong aura, especially the one named Zhao Quanting, whose aura is even deeper than that of the middle-aged man by the Tianhe River. Can't they see that their own qi and blood are weak?
Or maybe it’s because.
Zhou Mu half lowered his head and touched his eyes, seeming to be thinking about something.

Zhao Quanting hesitated for a moment, then continued:

"Senior, the lady has really realized her mistakes. She sighed repeatedly on the way to this Dog City. She mentioned you many times and said to herself many times that she felt guilty about you. If it weren't for the important task of revitalizing the human race, she would have killed herself long ago."

Dog-killing city? Revitalize the human race?

Ok?
ha? ? ?
