Under the double moon, the night breeze blows gently, and there are small woods on the outskirts of Kongqing Town.
"Lord Qi, people have been brought here."
I saw the burly Ye Cang walking up to Lei Xiao gracefully and bowing respectfully.
Behind him, there was an old man and a young man, both of whom exuded a faint aura of good demeanor.
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, leaning against a big tree, took a step forward and looked at the two people in front of him.
One of them, of course, I had met once before, Fang Hai, the chief appraiser of the Phytolacca Trade Fair, especially the close-fitting brocade robe and chest carved in the same mold as Ye Cang, which is undoubtedly unforgettable.
But the other one made Lei Xiao couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
I saw that the other party's slender body was wearing a decent set of pure white knight's casual clothes.
This casual style is very much like a combination of a tuxedo and a modern military uniform, and it looks quite heroic.
The other party's long hair and a touch of perseverance on her fair and pretty face perfectly interpret this feeling.
Seeing this, Lei Xiao secretly praised him in his heart.
Needless to say, this is the second female knight he has seen today.
Compared with the knight Mora of the Holy Night Kingdom on the battlefield.
The movements of this female knight from the Cold Flame Kingdom were obviously more mature and steady, and less anxious and arrogant.
"Old sir, we meet again." Lei Xiao, who smiled faintly and had a long sword on his waist, spoke first.
At this time, beside him were only Hu Zhi and Ye Cang, who had suppressed their auras to the lowest level.
However, Nanxing, Nanyue, and Chaoyan, who have been equipped with fourth-level weapons, are still hidden in the invisibility cloak.
"Are you...the adult from yesterday afternoon?"
Although he had never seen Lei Xiao's appearance, Fang Hai did not forget the familiar voice, and quickly clasped his fists and saluted.
At the same time, his old face was full of surprise.
Yesterday afternoon, this young man was only at the first-order nine-star level, but today he has entered the second-order threshold?
You know, even a first-level peak expert with good qualifications would never be able to succeed in promotion so quickly without hard work day and night for several years.
It seems that this gentleman is indeed hiding something secretly.
Smiling and nodding, Lei Xiao turned to the tall and pretty female knight beside him, nodded slightly and said, "You must be the president of the Kongqing Town branch of the Trade Fair, right?"
"Exactly, my name is Lin Shangluca. I wonder what your surname is?"
While calmly observing the young man with extraordinary temperament in front of her, Lin politely put her left hand on her chest and leaned forward slightly to salute.
"...Call me Chensha." After thinking for a while, Lei Xiao said with a calm smile.
There is no doubt that this young female knight was indeed somewhat beyond his expectations, both in terms of appearance and demeanor.
"So, may I ask, Lord Chensha, why did you send someone to bring me two here late at night?" Then, Lin's eyelashes blinked slightly, and a look of doubt appeared on her pretty face.
"Of course I'm here to help you." Lei Xiao walked up to the other party, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said leisurely.
At this time, he could see clearly.
In the moonlight, wrapped in a slightly tight knight uniform, the other party's exquisite curves can be seen completely.
The pretty face reveals a touch of nobility and elegance, coupled with the natural filter of bright white moonlight, making people feel dazzled.
"Help me? What do you mean by this?"
Hearing this, Lin, who had been depressed for a long time because she was deliberately suppressed and targeted by her direct relatives during the family meeting, could not help but feel her heart skip a beat, but she did not show it on her face.
Needless to say, under all unknown circumstances, she would not expose her weakness to this strange young man at will.
"Then let me put it more bluntly."
This reaction of the other party was obviously expected by Lei Xiao.
I saw him smiling at first, and then his gentle eyes suddenly turned cold.
Looking directly into Lin's eyes with sharp eyes, he said slowly: "I will help you reach the top of the Phytolacca family, and let you stand on top of all the direct descendants of the family who once looked down on you."
"What?!"
As soon as Lei Xiao's calm and sonorous words fell, Lin and Fang Hai beside her both showed expressions of disbelief. The two completely different faces of one old and one young were full of uncontrollable shock.
The Shanglu family is one of the top wealthy families in the Leng Yan Kingdom.
There are many talented people in the family, and they have a decisive influence in the kingdom's military, political and business circles.
Let alone against the entire family, even if you pick out a small branch of the family at random, you may be a Earl of the Kingdom with a transcendent status.
Lion Heart City, the largest city directly under the family, is under the control of the contemporary head of the family, Grand Duke Hanshui. Its scale and prosperity are almost comparable to those of the royal capital.
You should know that Duke Hanshui, as the most powerful person in the family, has just entered his forties and has already reached the level of a fourth-level senior powerhouse.
If there are enough opportunities, it is not impossible to reach the fifth level in your lifetime.
By then, the Phytolacca family will undoubtedly become a terrifying force that can compete with the Leng Yan royal family!
"Sir, are you entertaining me?"
After being stunned for a while, Lin couldn't help frowning and stared at Lei Xiao.
The purpose of her coming here was just to see if the other party could help her overcome this difficulty. As for reaching the top of the family and sitting on the throne of Lion Heart City, that was something she could not even dream of.
She is just a small collateral member of the family. How can she have the background and qualifications to become the head of the family?
However, looking at the young man in front of him, his expression was as calm as water, without any pretense.
For some reason, Lin suddenly had a strange idea.
That's this man, and he doesn't seem to be lying at all...
Shaking her head slightly, Lin quickly threw this inexplicable thought to the back of her mind, and a determined expression appeared on her pretty face again.
"So you are here."
Just when the two were in a stalemate, a sudden and eerie voice broke the brief peace in the woods.
Immediately afterwards, the surrounding grass swayed and people's shadows appeared longingly.
Only a moment later, Lei Xiao and the other three, as well as Lin and Fang Hai, were completely surrounded.
At first glance, there were at least a hundred people, among whom there were many with tyrannical auras that could rival Lin and Fang Hai.
Under the cold moonlight, a large number of weapons flashing with cold light kept shaking, and a solemn murderous aura began to spread around.
Just when Lin and Fang Hai looked a little nervous.
Directly opposite, Lei Xiao couldn't help but have a smile on his face.
