Ye Shuang sat down opposite Bai Mobai, and Fan Xiyuan followed him, but he did not behave like shopkeeper Bai, but raised his head and looked around at the furnishings in the room without hesitation. He knew that there was something wrong with what he did, but

From the moment he stepped into this teahouse, he could feel that something in this room seemed to be attracting him. From time to time, there was a cooing sound in his ears, as if something stuffed in a container was squirming, trying to

He came out. He observed Ye Shuang and the three of them. From their expressions, he couldn't tell that there was any sound that bothered them. He thought it was just him. He shook his head and tried to get rid of the sound, but it didn't get better.

On the contrary, he became even more restless. At the moment, he had no choice but to stabilize his mind and try to stay as calm as possible.

At this time, the tea slave also closed the door, poured two cups of tea from the side, and placed them in front of Bai Mobai and Ye Shuang respectively. It was very casual and had no sense of ceremony at all. It might as well be at Lao Bai's shop.

After the tea slave finished serving tea, he sat down against the door and turned into a pile of motionless garbage. This move seemed natural, but in fact, in this position, it was not only conducive to observation, but also occupied the only place here.

Entrance and exit, and more importantly, can make the most accurate judgment and the most effective action for anything that may happen.

No one spoke, no one moved, and time passed in silence. This silence was more like testing each other's patience. For both parties in the transaction, it can be tolerated for a while, but as time goes by, more people will develop.

If you have too many ideas, you will easily be shaken, and once you are shaken, you will make errors in judgment.

Bai Mobai closed his eyes, breathing evenly, and seemed to be confident; while Ye Shuang was as quiet as a virgin, but there was a hidden uneasiness in his heart, which was uneasiness about the unknown. The plan of using the chips in his hand to activate Bai Mobai to meet the tea drinker was almost perfect.

The execution was also very smooth. This should be something to be thankful for, but it was too smooth. The white ink in front of her suddenly made her feel an inexplicable fear. She never underestimated her opponent, especially her opponent.

An intelligence broker like Bai Mobai. But not underestimating does not mean that he will not make mistakes. Bai Mobai himself is a double-edged sword. If you use him, it is impossible to escape unscathed.

At this time, Fan Xiyuan was different from all of them. He was even more tormented. He could not think about anything related to the transaction. His mind was completely occupied by the crawling sound, which even affected his heart - dong dong, dong dong...

...He seemed to be able to hear the sound of blood flowing accelerating in his veins, which made him feel hot all over, and his clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

Ye Shuang also noticed something strange about Fan Xiyuan. He turned around and found that he was sweating profusely and seemed to be enduring great pain. At this juncture, there was no room for any mistakes and he was suddenly confused.

Fan Xiyuan looked pale, squeezed out a smile, shook his head at Ye Shuang, and pointed at his stomach, pretending that he had an uncomfortable stomach, so that she didn't need to worry. At the same time, he didn't care about anything else, and sat down cross-legged. He closed his eyes

He opened his eyes and took a deep breath. He tried his best to stabilize his body and not pay attention to those squirming sounds. He didn't want to mess up Ye Shuang's position before it even started. It was really not a good sign.

Although Ye Shuang had doubts when he saw this, he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to turn around and wait and see what happened.

At this moment, the screen suddenly lit up - a figure was reflected on the screen.

This figure sits behind the screen, looking thin and long, like a bamboo pole.

Sometimes people tend to pre-set a possibility, or even multiple possibilities, for unknown things, and then develop along this possibility. This kind of pre-setting can bring a certain degree of security to oneself.

, at least you are prepared for any danger, you can advance, you can retreat and you can defend, and you will not be passively in an unprepared situation.

Ye Shuang is like this, because only in this way can she take the initiative in her own hands. She has imagined many possibilities for this transaction on Tea Drinkers, prepared for a long enough time, and thought of the worst-case scenario.

plan, but she just didn't expect it would start this way.

"Xiaobai, long time no see, how are you?"

The person behind the screen spoke, his voice was kind and kind, just like a

Elders whom I haven't seen for a long time are asking about the children.

Bai Mobai put down the crutch in his hand, stood up unsteadily, bowed his hands respectfully, and said: "Thank you for remembering Mo Bai. Mo Bai is protected by you. Everything is fine."

The person behind the screen burst into hearty laughter and seemed to stroke his beard: "What does it have to do with me whether you are okay or not? I am not taking care of your business. Don't give me a high hat. I don't want this."

set."

"How dare you, how dare you, Mo Bai can live like this, and still..."

"Sit down and talk, sit down and talk," the person behind the screen waved impatiently to interrupt Bai Mobai, "I mean, Xiaobai, it's been so many years, why are you still talking like this? Are you tired? I

It sounds so tiring!”

Bai Mobai promised, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his hand, and was helped by shopkeeper Bai to sit down.

"Is this your son?"

"Yes, it's Quanzi!" Bai Mobai pulled at Shopkeeper Bai, who bowed in panic and didn't dare to speak.

"Xiaobai, you are talking nonsense. He is obviously a sheep, so why is he a dog?" The person behind the screen laughed forward and backward, and his tone was very playful, without any hint of ridicule.

"Yes, yes...it's Yangzizi, it's Yangzizi..." Bai Mobai smiled and wiped the sweat from his forehead again.

The person behind the screen seemed to have moved closer to the screen to observe Shopkeeper Bai, and said, "My lord, it looks good to me. He has the same sharp mouth and monkey cheeks as you, and he looks like a profiteer. Not bad!"

After he finished speaking, there was another burst of laughter, and the screen was shaking.

Ye Shuang sat aside and listened to the conversation between the two of them, breaking into a cold sweat. Her estimate was not wrong, but Bai Mobai and the tea drinker should have done more than just a few transactions. Judging from the content of the conversation,

The two may have had more interactions before. The most important thing is that the tea drinker calls Bai Mobai Xiaobai. In terms of age and seniority, although there is no nominal leader in Night City, this tea drinker is actually Night.

The founder of the city.

The muscles on her back were tightening, which caused serious trouble for her plan. The content of the transaction was not a big problem. The key was how to obtain the information about the spell from the tea drinker's mouth.

.

She couldn't help but steal a glance at the tea slave sitting at the door. This pile of people who looked like garbage was the most troublesome obstacle in her next plan. If she used force, she really wasn't sure that she could hit it with one blow.

After knocking down the tea slave, the ghosts in Nightmare City will definitely swarm in, and it will only get worse. Moreover, Fan Xiyuan behind her is acting strange for some reason, and she is helpless in this situation.

The people behind the screen seemed to have forgotten their purpose, and started chatting with Bai Mobai about their daily routine, while leaving Ye Shuang aside, as if they didn't exist.

Fan Xiyuan, who was sitting aside, finally couldn't bear it anymore and rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.

Everyone was shocked. Before Ye Shuang could stand up, a black shadow flashed in front of their eyes. The tea slave was already beside Fan Xiyuan, and his hand was already on his veins.

What a quick move.

Ye Shuang frowned and was about to move forward to stop Tea Slave from taking a pulse. Before he could get close, he was forced backwards by an invisible pressure and landed next to Bai Mobai.

The tea slave didn't move, but he pushed himself to this point, which was unprecedented. Ye Shuang was shocked, but she couldn't care less. She had to gather her strength and move forward. She had to avoid any risk of exposing Fan Xiyuan's identity.

"Your Majesty, don't move. Don't break the rules here." Bai Mobai grabbed Ye Shuang's hand, his voice urgent and steady.

Ye Shuang wanted to break free, but found that the strength in Bai Mobai's hands did not match his old appearance. She looked at Fan Xiyuan anxiously - this was a dead end!

She fell into complete confusion——

"Xiao Bai." The person behind the screen spoke.

Bai Mobai pulled Ye Shuang aside and said hurriedly: "As you said, I forgot to introduce you, this is the guest officer who is doing the transaction with me this time."

"In that case

, then sit down." The person behind the screen said oh, as if he didn't care about Fan Xiyuan's collapse.

Bai Mobai replied and made a gesture of invitation to Ye Shuang. His voice was very low: "Sir, please don't panic." When he let go of Ye Shuang's hands, he patted her hands calmly, indicating that she didn't want to.

impulse.

Ye Shuang gritted her teeth and sat back hesitantly. For her at this moment, she could only wait and see what happened. Being too aggressive would only make things worse.

After checking the pulse, the tea slave picked up Fan Xiyuan and walked straight to the back.

Seeing this, Ye Shuang was about to get up again, and then heard Bai Mobai cough twice: "Sir, shall we start?"

Ye Shuang was startled, his mind was spinning, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Shopkeeper Bai, I want to cancel the transaction!"

Before Bai Mobai opened his mouth, he heard a burst of hearty laughter coming from behind the screen.

"Xiao Bai, this little girl is just as enthusiastic as you were back then."

"No, you are so ridiculous. Times have changed. This guest officer is really young and promising. How can I compare him to him?"

The person behind the screen groaned, seemingly curious: "Xiaobai, with your character, I have never heard you praise someone so much..."

"I was too reckless in this transaction and I bumped into my senior. I hope you can be accommodating and ask if this transaction can be cancelled." Ye Shuang was so anxious that he interrupted the person behind the screen.

The person behind the screen pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Little girl, since the opening of the market, there has never been a case of interrupting transactions. Have you ever thought about the consequences?"

Ye Shuang was startled again, but quickly returned to normal. If the tea drinker was the founder of Nightmare City, it would not be surprising that the ban he placed could reveal his true identity. But at the same time, she realized something

The problem is, I went in such a big circle just to get the secret of the magic from the tea drinker. If I cancel the transaction, regardless of the consequences, it is very likely that I will never know the secret of the magic again.

"My guest, caring will lead to chaos." Bai Mobai looked at Ye Shuang.

Bai Mobai's meaningful tone made Ye Shuang calm down.

Bringing Fan Xiyuan to Night Market is a gamble, the transaction with Bai Mobai is a gamble, and meeting the tea drinker is even more a gamble. This is no different from Ye Qi's decision. She is gambling anytime and anywhere.

If she wants to fulfill the responsibilities assigned by Ye Qi, she must still gamble with herself. Fan Xiyuan's words still ring in her ears. They are partners, and as partners they should trust each other. Although she doesn't know what happened to Fan Xiyuan, Congmenshi has always been fair.

Judging from the rumors, the tea drinkers did not pose any threat to Fan Xiyuan. Instead, his worries were too serious, causing him to mess up his position.

At this point, there is no way out. If she wins, not only can she obtain the secret of Xiao's technique, but she can also escape with Fan Xiyuan intact. If she loses...

Absolutely can't lose!

Ye Shuang clenched his hands, a stern expression appeared on his face again, and his eyes were no longer panicked, replaced by firmness and calmness.

Ye Shuang straightened his chest, sat upright, swept away the previous entanglements, and said loudly: "I'm sorry, seniors, I just lost my temper. The deal remains unchanged, let's get started!"

Bai Mobai nodded and cast admiring glances at Ye Shuang.

The person behind the screen laughed and sang loudly: "In that case, let's get started!"

----------------------------------

Outside the teahouse.

Under the teahouse.

The city was completely silent. The crowds were crowded below, raising their heads and looking up at the two red lanterns above the teahouse. Everyone held their breath, as if they were looking forward to something they had not seen for many years.

How do tea drinkers make decisions? Even though they don’t know what they are trading and what they will say, they just have to look forward to the moment the green light turns on. Everyone will be excited, making the loudest noise, and loudly venting all their frustrations and unhappiness.
