"So your relationship is so bad?"

"Huh, who knows, there's no need to have anything to do with it, you know that, right?" In response to Mu Long's tentative question, Quan firmly maintained what he had said before not to provide too much help, and did not give Mu Long anything.

Room for cliches.

It is true that the relationship between the protector and the protected person, let alone a temporary relationship, does not necessarily have a relationship where they can talk to each other. However, it is a good thing for both parties to establish the most basic relationship, but Izumi obviously doesn't like it.

That way, it seems now that Quan and his protected subjects are not so much getting along with each other, but rather have a hostile relationship. This is also quite troublesome for Mu Long. After all, Mu Long is now

He was on the side of the girl's 'enemy' or came here in a group. It can be said that the first impression was already very low.

This is the worst possible scenario. Although I haven't thought about how Izumi protects him, it's because of my lack of consideration. What should I do now? Or should I 'retreat' first? Now that I can come in, let's move on.

It will be a lot more convenient to come back again. I should still have a lot of time. What's more, now that I have confirmed the safety of others, I think there is only one for the time being, but I should be able to leave from here... Seeing

Quan was obviously happy to watch the show. As long as Quan didn't deliberately do anything about the current situation, Mu Long would be thankful. This was one of the worst developments for Mu Long, and he couldn't help but want to run away.

cowardly thoughts.

Judging from the current situation, Quan is completely unpopular, and he feels that Mu Taki will be treated in the same way and is just gloating about his misfortune. Even Quan will occasionally behave in this slightly childish way, which makes him feel uncomfortable.

Mu Long found it very difficult, and at the same time he had to face a girl who was strictly guarded when they first met.

But that would be too irresponsible, but how can we correct the bad move now? Can we really communicate well? As long as we can do this, we can probably close the distance between the two parties a little. Since we deliberately make things difficult

As for me, there is nothing I can do about being used to do something... Putting away his inner thoughts of escaping, Mu Long returned his attention to the vigilant girl in front of him.

At least I should be grateful that there is only one person who is so vigilant now. But what is her status in the whole? I don’t know at all. Izumi won’t tell me now, but whether Izumi knows it or not remains to be verified. If I do it without permission

If you say what Jilaisu said, you may be permanently labeled as a person who cannot be approached, which will be troublesome... While thinking about how to relieve the current tense atmosphere, Mu Ting was also looking at the girl in front of him.

, hoping to find something.

At first glance, it seems that she is a head shorter than Mo Lian'er next to Mu Long. A rough estimate of her age is about nine to twelve years old. She should have long chestnut hair, but

At this time, it looked a little mixed because it hadn't been taken care of well. I didn't comb any hairstyle, just let it fall down casually. The face was a little dirty because of the fun not long ago.

It is not clear whether it is stained or not cleaned frequently, but only those eyes can clearly understand that there is hope for a certain situation, and a firm determination not to let Mu Ting and others try to get close.

.

The clothes on my body can't be considered very shabby, but they can't be said to be particularly comfortable. They are probably at the same consumption level as the residents who first entered the slums. Also because of the environment, they are not very clean, so they may have worn them.

It's been quite some time, can you model it?

I vaguely imagined how it would look after careful cleaning through the current appearance. It would probably be a cuter type.

"For example, if you are here to persuade us to move out of here, I, I advise you to give up as soon as possible."

"We will never leave here. We...we still have to wait for eldest sister to come back. It's useless to give you anything. We will never leave with you!"

Probably because children's ability to withstand pressure is relatively weak after all. After the scene suddenly fell into silence, whether it was out of fear or nervousness, the girl should also be thinking about what Mu Long and others came here for.

After thinking about it, he chose to deny it before Mu Long spoke.

It was a good step for Mu Long that the girl could open the topic first. Judging from the girl's firm negative attitude, maybe Fang Yilu and someone else had done similar persuasion to them, but now

Judging from the results, all of them were completely rejected without exception. Maybe there was some estrangement because of this topic. It may be that this topic is very taboo now.

This is why Ritsu said that he had tried hard, but they refused to leave here. Is it because they had to wait for someone? However, Ritsu is not the kind of person who is good at dealing with children. He probably treats them as equal negotiating partners.

Let's put all the stakes on the table and respect their own choices... Before officially starting the conversation, they can understand that this is an absolutely taboo topic. This is a good start for Mu Long.

This can avoid some autonomous behaviors that step on minefields.

"I'm not interested in things like that. I just want you to live. Also, this guy is looking for you today. Point your finger at this bastard." He probably thought that the girl was talking to someone.

Quan immediately corrected this point by force, and at the same time looked away from his relationship with Mu Long.

This statement is very problematic, but if you can reveal yourself in this way, it can help to some extent. Thank you very much... He started to make remarks without thinking about it. At the same time, Izumi said that his character is very

When used well, whether it is out of nature or to help Mu Long, I think it is more of the former, but it can make Mu Long's image get closer to a good impression as much as possible, and at the same time make the girl feel "

Is this person different?' thought.

"We don't want to do this, but we will never give in on this point. We are also very grateful that you can provide us with the lowest living conditions unconditionally. However, as long as I am here, I will not

Let you have the opportunity to take away theirs. Before the big sister comes back, we will wait for her, as we promised!"

Probably because this is the foundation of their current existence and the motivation for them to continue living. At this time, crystal water seemed to flow from the corners of the girl's eyes, but her voice became clearer and more determined, at least now there was no trembling like before.

"So... don't come any closer. Please, we can't lose anything anymore..." Sensing Mu Long's subtle movements, the girl slowly fumbled around in her pocket, and then slowly took it out.

There was something shiny and silver.

"You wouldn't have done anything to them, would you?"

"Tsk, what's the point in bullying children, especially children with little fighting ability? Only fools would do it. But when I first came here, there were a few idiots who didn't know where they were, and they actually wanted to do it in my house.

Arresting people in front of you and killing them on the spot makes them so weak and boring!"

I see you obviously want to come again

It can be confirmed now that this guy left some psychological trauma on them. At least this girl is afraid of this guy. She is afraid that some of her companions will be taken away again...

"Oh... Wow..." Maybe she was not very good at using this kind of thing, or more likely it was her first time. With trembling hands, the girl took out the knife that looked like a folding knife and put the blade

Pointed at Mu Long.

"Wow, that's good. I'm starting to look forward to what you will look like when you grow up." Completely ignoring the spread of fear in the girl, Quan said with a bright smile according to his standards.

After seeing the girl take out the weapon and put on a fighting posture even though she was trembling, Izumi was very excited about this and couldn't help but exclaimed and laughed unabashedly, but there was no ridicule.

It means that it is indeed Quan's approval of the girl's behavior, and he is probably interested in what her future will be like.

"Is that what you gave them?" Even if it is a knife like that, Mu Long can see that it is not something that people like them can easily obtain. Although the source is not made by Mu Long, it is still high-grade.

It's a 'present tool', its sharpness is guaranteed, it's also engraved with small disposable techniques, and it's easy to store. It's a relatively convenient thing. Since it's not their own, it can only be left by Izumi intentionally or accidentally.

Something came down.

"Haha, even with our protection now, how can guys like them survive safely without shelter?"

As someone who has had similar experiences, Izumi probably has a say in this matter, so I praise the girl for taking up arms and fighting for the movement she wants. Izumi has lived her whole life until now.

With his status, he should have seen the death of his companions and more killings. During this period, he believed more in his own power.

"But I have no interest in training them. Although I snatched some and threw them away without using them, most of them were lost by my subordinates who didn't have them."

"You will lose after a real duel."

Although he was dissatisfied with his men's defeat, Izumi did not exude disgust. This was probably related to the real duel he mentioned. However, his face was still full of disdain, and he expressed his disdain for the protected people in a certain situation.

Some aspects are promising.

"A duel...?" Although Quan said it was true, Mu Ting didn't think he won in a duel such as fighting. If there was still a chance of winning, it could only be Quan's men who let it slip, and it was a serious one.

Bar.

Then it can only be another form of duel, with more outstanding talents, let's focus on the present first... I realize that I am not here to explore talents, and besides, leaving the girl in front of me aside to think about things on my own

It's very rude. If Mu Longxuan is about to prepare for the first start, it will be very important for whether he will be kicked out later.

Seeing that Mu Long was getting closer, the girl relied on the courage given to her by the knife in her hand and did not step back. Instead, she stood forward tremblingly. Mu Long was unable to take any more actions because of this.

Quan on the side was already laughing so much that his shoulders were shaking, and the target of ridicule was naturally Mu Long.

Before the alert is removed, trying to get closer will only have the opposite effect. Let's be direct here. This person's name should make her spirit 'relax' in some subtle way... She stopped moving.

Mu Long, after a short while, looked at the girl's eyes seriously, and then said without changing his expression:
Chapter completed!
