Of course, given Liuyun's own powerful strength, no one is willing to do such a thing as forcefully attacking. It's not that they are afraid of not being able to win. After all, even if Liuyun is powerful, two fists cannot beat four hands, right? The most important thing is that they are worried that while the mantis is stalking the cicada, there will be an oriole behind.
To sum up, although all parties are openly or covertly turning their attention to Liuyun, given the above ideas and Liuyun's strength, as well as the relationship with the slimes under Xiaoqing, these forces are currently relatively honest... at least they are still very teacher-like before returning.
After all, apart from anything else, just say that Liuyun's action this time did indeed recover a lot of slimes for his own strength, but in the final analysis, it also helped these forces to get out of trouble. No matter what, this favor must be remembered, whether it is openly or secretly.
In this situation, all parties weighed the pros and cons and chose to give in. However, the "City", the commander-in-chief of this operation, and the Silver Church, which had already regarded Xiaoqing as the spokesperson of the "Silver Holy Spirit" in this world, obviously did not think so.
This morning's meeting was like this...
In the name of justice and research, the city side hopes that Liuyun will hand over Xiaoqing, making her public property under the name of the "city", and promised to give certain "compensation".
The Silver Church was obviously more direct, directly declaring that mere humans had no qualifications to enslave the holy objects. Not only did they demand Liuyun to hand over Xiaoqing, they even had to commit suicide to apologize.
Well, in the latter case, both Qianmo and Guiling obviously chose to ignore each other decisively. As for facing the threat from the city... perhaps if it were the previous words, even if the two of them were undoubtedly on Liuyun's side, they would obviously be caught in a dilemma.
After all, the Qixi team is just a scavenging team and needs to settle down in the city. Not to mention that Qianmo's own "family" is not far from the city. Once they are expelled from the city, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble.
But now... who cares?
They were all ready to go to another world, and this was not just a case of believing Yu Huan simply because he said so, but after actually signing the contract, they both felt some real changes. To be honest, the city that was once regarded as a behemoth, and even the Silver Holy Church, were now... just that in their eyes.
The difference in perspective brought about obvious differences in behavior. After temporarily dismissing the two forces with a laugh, the two men gathered everyone together as soon as they returned to the tent and told them the whole story.
So... there was Yu Huan's previous complaint, and as soon as this complaint came out, it was instantly exchanged for Liu Yun's nod of agreement:
"He's a bit too arrogant. Villains like him usually don't survive more than two episodes in a serious drama!"
As expected of a close friend, you picked up a good slot!
He glanced at Liuyun with appreciation. Of course, Yuhuan didn't seem to intend to intervene. Instead, he looked at Qianmo and Guiling and said:
"So...what are you going to do?"
It was called a team meeting, but in reality, after Yu Huan signed the two people, the team was obviously split.
First of all, after the nun was scared by Yuhuan in the morning, it was obviously impossible for her to appear in front of Yuhuan again. She had been hiding somewhere and seemed to be planning something. As for Kosaka, no one had seen her since yesterday. As for where she went, no one knew, but Yuhuan could guess.
Then it was Qian Xinxin... Whether it was out of sisterhood or some other reason, she undoubtedly stood on the side of the eldest lady Liuxi. After being rejected again and again by Liuyun, and even given the cold attitude, Liuxi's temper was finally activated. She left angrily after saying "Don't regret it".
As for what they are going to do... well, anyone who has seen melodramatic movies should understand.
So strictly speaking, most of the people in the room at this time were "their own people". When Yu Huan asked this question, everyone understood that she was not going to do it herself, and their eyes turned to Liuyun.
It is obvious that the root of all this lies with Liuyun, or rather, with Xiaoqing who is lying on Liuyun's head and blowing bubbles at this moment, so Liuyun has the final say on how to solve it.
"What else can we do? If they come, we'll just fight them. If all else fails, we'll just leave. I don't believe they can cross another world and find us."
Liuyun's answer was rather blunt. After learning just a fraction of Yuhuan's strength, he, now a scavenger who had apparently become one of them, was now brimming with confidence:
"Besides, even if they come, what can they do? Can they capture us?"
This statement was made with full confidence, and it was indeed true... After all, after becoming a Ranger, there was no doubt that Liuyun's system, which already had plug-ins, had directly undergone a large-scale comprehensive upgrade, crossing from the original 'world' to the 'plane' level, becoming a more powerful system.
As the master of the system, Liuyun naturally gained huge benefits. To put it bluntly, even if he didn't have Xiaoqing's help, he probably wouldn't be afraid if he faced those cities or the Silver Holy Church alone.
"..."
Neither Qianmo nor Guiling said anything about Liuyun's somewhat inflated remarks, but it was clear from their eyes that they agreed with him... To be honest, when one's strength reaches a certain level, some conspiracies and tricks can really be ignored.
Qin Qin naturally didn't react at all. After all, strictly speaking, she was the most confident among everyone. After all, after seeing Yu Huan's methods...
"Well, it looks like it's been decided."
Seeing everyone's confident attitude of "fight if you don't agree", Yu Huan suddenly smiled and made a sound. When he saw that everyone's eyes were focused on him, he suddenly stood up from his chair and said casually:
"Since you are so confident, I will leave the city to you for the time being."
As he said this, he actually pretended to be ready to leave. This made everyone stunned. Liuyun said directly:
"Leave it to us? What do you mean? What about you?"
From what Yuhuan said, it's clear that he has no intention of intervening at all, right?
"Well, I'm going to the Silver Church. Didn't they say they'll leave it to me?"
It was obviously impossible not to intervene, but Yu Huan's goal was very clear. She had been targeting the Silver Holy Church from the beginning. After hearing her words, the person in Liuyun was relieved: what he was afraid of was nothing more than the city and the Silver Church joining forces as two major forces. Now Yu Huan actually took over half of it. It was obviously no longer something that could be described as helping.
"Is that so... That's great, the pressure is instantly reduced by half."
Upon hearing this, Liuyun immediately made such a ridicule, and the others also breathed a sigh of relief... Although their own strength has improved and their horizons have broadened, they are still a little nervous about directly competing with the two strongest forces in the world, the city and the church.
As a result, before this side even started, Yu Huan had already marked out half of it. Isn't this great news?
"Well, I'll leave the small fry outside to you. See you later, everyone..."
Seeing Liuyun and the others nod, Yu Huan explained his plan and immediately left a somewhat inexplicable sentence before preparing to leave. Of course, before leaving, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the hand of Qin Qin, who was hiding in the shadows, and said as he walked:
"By the way, Qin Qin, follow me!"
Having said this, without waiting for everyone's reaction, and without Qin Qin refusing to refuse, the next second the two of them had left the tent and disappeared in the direction of the door.
"...Wait, what about those trash you just mentioned?!"
It was not until Yu Huan left that Liu Yun suddenly reacted and looked at Qian Mo and Gui Ling in front of him, and then seemed to see the speculation in each other's eyes at the same time.
"I suddenly have a bad feeling!"
Guiling pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and suddenly said this.
"What a coincidence, so am I!"
Liuyun has silently taken out his Xingtian armor transformation device.
"..."
Qianmo didn't say anything, but her gentle smile had already faded. She also reached out and silently stroked the twin ponytail bracelet on her wrist.
21. Xiaoban's calculation
The bad premonition came true, because when the three of them walked out of the tent, the first thing they faced was the aggressive army coming from all directions.
Although this was something that was originally expected, after all, Liuyun refused to hand over Xiaoqing, and it was clear that the other party would not give up so easily, but such a high-profile appearance was obviously still somewhat expected.
What was even more unexpected was the figure standing in front of the large troops at this moment.
"Xiaoban? You..."
That’s right, team member Xiaoban, who had disappeared since yesterday, now appeared in front of the army. It was obvious that he was not captured. Instead, he looked like a leader. The look he gave the three people was undoubtedly determined to win.
"Only three of you? Well, if we capture you, I guess Yu Huan won't be able to escape."
Ignoring the three people's surprised or incredulous looks, Xiaoban said these words in such a casual tone, which was completely different from his previous cheerful and lively appearance. How to describe the look he showed at this moment... It was like a lackey who became arrogant after having something to rely on.
"I see, this is why Xiao Huan is so indifferent to you."
Looking at Xiaoban who suddenly appeared, if it were an ordinary person or the former Qianmo and others, they might be shocked and feel angry at being betrayed. However, after seeing Xiaoban's performance, Liuyun's words made him instantly understand Yuhuan's previous reaction.
In response to this, Guiling also nodded slightly. Although the attitude shown by Xiaoban before was a disguise, it was obvious to everyone that there were not many flaws. However, in this situation, Yuhuan, who was obviously seeing the other party for the first time, showed such a blatant attitude of ignoring him.
This attitude certainly aroused the curiosity of others at the beginning. Of course, at that time, it might be due to different personal situations, so even Liuyun obviously did not say much. But now it seems... the reason why Yuhuan did this is naturally obvious.
Of course, after learning all this, it is impossible to say that they are not angry at all. However, compared with the small board in front of them, how can we describe the performance of the three people... It seems that they are not very interested.
"Xiaoban, what are you going to do?"
Guiling and Liuyun first thought of Yuhuan, but after the initial surprise, Qianmo immediately looked calmly at the boy in front of him, whose attitude was completely different from before. Although he looked gentle as water and had no dignity on weekdays, as the captain of the Qixi team, Qianmo obviously had an inexplicable aura when he was serious.
Even under this momentum, Xiaoban's reaction was very simple and direct:
"Nothing, I just don't plan to let you leave."
Simple and clear words explained the purpose of Xiaoban's coming here. After looking at Xiaoqing above Liuyun's head with some greed, this look clearly revealed his purpose. But it was obvious that Xiaoban's purpose of coming here was not limited to this. There was another one, that was... Yuhuan!
"Traveling through worlds, contracts... I don't know what these codewords you're using mean, but it's clear... you've already planned to betray the city!"
Hearing this, the three of them obviously understood that Xiaoban had obviously heard their conversation last night, but it was obvious that although he heard it, what Xiaoban overheard was not complete. Not only that, in his mind, things like traveling through the world were undoubtedly fantasy, so he naturally regarded it as a "code" to join a certain organization.
And in Xiaoban's view... this behavior is obviously a betrayal, a betrayal of the city.
"Are you kidding me? Betrayal? I don't know when we scavengers joined the city."
Even though this large-scale mission was indeed organized by the city, the scavengers were at most recruited rather than ordered. This undoubtedly meant that the scavengers were not the city's assets, but mercenaries. However, when Xiaoban said this, it actually sounded like the scavengers were a force of the city.
Liuyun's rebuttal without thinking immediately made Xiaoban frown slightly. Originally, the reason why he joined the Qixi team was to secretly build good relationships with these people, and then after finding out their strengths, weaknesses, etc., he could win them over or threaten them.
This is also a method commonly used by the government of every city, the purpose of which is to control these "extra-staff" forces and make them serve the city.
As for Xiaoban, he had not been in the Qixi team for a long time, so the information he could obtain was undoubtedly very little. At the same time, Xiaoban had originally planned for a long-term battle, but he never thought that everything would be ruined because of two people.
The first is Liuyun, a man who mysteriously appeared beside Qianmo. The information of other people, even Qianmo, can be more or less backed up in the city, but for Liuyun, this mysterious guy, not only does the city have no information, even the investigation on him has made no progress.
Such a mysterious man, more importantly, he also has a strange superpower called "Rainbow Stone" and a set of mysterious technological armor, which undoubtedly makes Liuyun's own value enter the eyes of the city.
Of course, because they were trying to win them over, they naturally had no intention of exploring these newly joined small groups. The original plan was to slowly absorb several people into the city in a steady manner. However, plans could not keep up with changes, and the appearance of another person undoubtedly broke this plan.
Yu Huan, who claims to be Liu Yun's sister, is also a girl who appears mysteriously without any intelligence clues. However, compared to Liu Yun, she is obviously much more difficult to deal with.
Of course, this so-called difficulty is not just because the other party seems to have seen through one's disguise at a glance and ignores oneself, but because of the other party's unconcealed actions.
Liuyun has his own secrets. Xiaoban knows this, and he seems to be deliberately concealing and keeping a low profile, so he is not very public about it. At the same time, it does not actually have much impact on Xiaoban's plans... at least not on the surface.
However, Yu Huan's existence is completely different: mysterious technological means, powerful and almighty combat capabilities, and more importantly, he has a clear attitude towards life that seems to see through everything even though he has just joined.
All these things immediately made Xiaoban suspicious and have a very bad premonition about him, and in the end this bad premonition was fulfilled last night: the other party was from a certain force, and their purpose in coming here was the same as his own, which was to win over the members of the Qixi team.
Not only that, unlike his own situation where he had made no progress at all, the other party seemed to be in control of everything even though he had just joined. Not only did he gain the trust of the entire team in just a few days, but Liuyun even directly announced that he would withdraw from the team.
Not only that, from the information overheard through the pinhole camera that Xiaoban deliberately left behind last night, it was obvious that Qianmo, Guiling and even Qin Qin might have had such thoughts.
What is this? What is this?!
He has worked so hard for so long, the purpose is to win over the Qixi team to their side, and you must know that the higher-ups have promised that once he succeeds, then when the Qixi team is organized in the future, he will replace Qianmo as the captain, and then the entire Qixi team will be his subordinates.
But what about now?
Liuyun, the strongest member of the team, was about to leave. Qianmo, the team leader and the beauty he had his eyes on, and Qin Qin, who had also long been considered his 'concubine' and possessed a rare talent for shadow, were also about to leave.
Even Reset, the brain of the team, is in this situation. In this case, who will be left in the Qixi team?
Is it Liu Xi, a young lady with a head for love but no brain for thinking? Or is it a nun who, despite being quite capable, is incredibly conceited and in love with a fanatical follower of the Silver Church?
Although both of them were good looking, compared to the others, besides being of some use to Xinxin after paying money, what good was it to him to have these two people?!
In view of this, after figuring out all this, Xiaoban obviously decisively gave up his disguise and his plan of playing the long game to catch a big fish. Instead, he decisively prepared to attack and went to stop them, bringing people to find them... If soft methods don't work, then he can only use hard methods.
Of course, such an action was not intentional or an impulsive act of anger, but a plan made after careful consideration by the upper level. The reason was even simpler: it was the existence of the little slime Xiaoqing on Liuyun's head.
Xiaoqing, who is able to control the central nervous system of those extremely powerful slimes, is obviously more than ten times more valuable than the Qixi team just by its existence. This level of interest temptation has obviously reached a certain level for a major force.
Well, it reached the point where he was willing to give up on winning over the Qixi team and even turn against them.
In view of this, on the surface it seems that Xiaoban is here to win over several members of the Qixi team, and to come to punish them in the name of "betrayal", but in fact his fundamental purpose from beginning to end is only one, that is: Xiaoqing.
Of course, this was when he didn't know how much the three people in front of him had changed after signing the contract with Yu Huan. If he knew... it would obviously be too late!
Because from the very beginning, he had lost the opportunity to join this gang.
22. Transformation
Frame the other party with false charges, arrest them in the name of "betrayal", and then take the slime for oneself as a matter of course. This approach is obviously "legitimate" and a natural reason for a big force, so Xiaoban is very familiar with this trick at this time.
Faced with such an attitude from the other side, if it were another team of scavengers, basically they would have no choice but to fight hard or fight to the death, right?
But what about the three people in the Qixi team?
Hmm... The three of them immediately looked at each other silently, and then they looked at the small board in front of them with a look of sympathy, who looked confident of winning. After a long time, Hui Ling subconsciously pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and then looked at the small board in front of him for a long time before sighing and saying:
"What a pity. I was quite optimistic about you."
These words came from the heart. After all, even he himself was fooled by his original disguise, which was enough to show how realistic Xiaoban's disguise was. It could even be said that before that, Guiling valued the other party's class more than Liuyun, not to mention Yuhuan who was so "arrogant" as soon as he joined the team.
However, fate played a trick on him. Xiaoban, who was supposed to be the one he needed to focus on training, turned out to be from the city, while Yuhuan went straight to being his captain from being a newcomer to the team. This undoubtedly made Guiling feel for the first time that he was not worthy of the title of the team's brain, and he also felt a little sorry and sympathetic towards Xiaoban.
It's a pity for the other party's nature, but sympathy lies in the fact that Xiaoban, for whatever reason, obviously missed the opportunity to follow Yuhuan to a wider world.
Of course, the pity and sympathy for returning to zero obviously had a different meaning in Xiaoban's eyes. In addition, apart from Qianmo's face which seemed to have some dissatisfaction with being betrayed, Liuyun on the side looked even more indifferent. This made Xiaoban, who felt that he was looked down upon, look a little gloomy.
Now he needs to know that he is no longer the newbie in the team who can only liven up the atmosphere with his irrelevant words, but whose actual ability is just as transparent as a little white sheep. Instead, he has restored his original identity as one of the executives of the city. However, these people in front of him did not give him the respect and attention he deserved, so naturally... he was angry.
"Go ahead, except for the captain, no one else matters!"
Now that the matter has been brought to light, Xiaoban obviously has no extra thoughts. The order he received has changed anyway, from the original Qixi team to Xiaoqing, and the Qixi team itself has been labeled: either obey or be wiped out. In this case, there is naturally no need to be polite.
Besides, it was precisely because the Qixi team was abandoned that this was an opportunity for Xiaoban... After all, if he could successfully recruit them according to the original plan, these people would certainly become his subordinates, but obviously their loyalty would not be very high. After all, no matter what, he was considered a "traitor."
