The last time they met, Su Xian was just a lucky man who had just inherited a store. In Meng Tong's eyes, apart from having an excellent sister and having pretty good spiritual card engraving skills, he had nothing else worth it.
A place of praise.
But now, only a few years have passed.
The young man in front of him...or rather, he has grown up to the point where he can be called a youth.
He looked a little more mature than before, but since Su Tao was able to use the terminal, the two had chatted many times, so Meng Tong knew how amazing the person in front of him was, and Taotao was a person who couldn't lie.
, but if what she said is true.
The young man in front of me has such a high status that he is probably at the top of the entire civilization.
No matter how unruly Meng Tong's temper was, facing him... for a moment, he actually felt a little at a loss.
When Su Xian asked her questions, she naturally told her everything she knew and believed everything she said.
In fact, like a student being lectured by a teacher, he didn't even dare to sit down.
"Don't be so formal, I'm just here to ask you some questions."
Su Xian said with a smile.
"Well...I'm not reserved, really, I'm just a little uncomfortable with it."
Meng Tong thought to himself that this was not just a gap in status. What was going on with this guy? When facing him, he felt like he couldn't stretch out.
Years of scavenging have allowed her to develop instincts that are beyond those of ordinary people. It is by acting according to this instinct that she has survived numerous scavenging adventures.
But now, instinct is reminding myself that it is best not to disobey him.
It's best not to resist him... No matter what he wants to do, the only thing you can do is obey, otherwise, you won't have any chance of survival.
Meng Tong smiled bitterly and said: "Sorry, I don't know what you have gone through, Su Xian, but you must be very powerful now...so powerful that even a cultivator like me who is not an orthodox monk feels uneasy, so, you
Just ask whatever you want to know, and I'll try my best to answer you, but I'm really not afraid of you, it's just instinct, instinct."
"Okay, you can guess the purpose of my coming here, right?"
Meng Tong stood obediently like a primary school student and asked: "Auntie is missing?"
"You were the last person we knew to see her."
Su Xian sighed: "To tell you the truth, my mother was guarded by a Nascent Soul cultivator and a girl whose strength was invincible even on the True Mercury. They shouldn't have had any accidents, but now...I
I couldn't contact them through the terminal. It took such a long time. I'm afraid something happened. If you think about it carefully, was there something wrong with my mother's expression at that time? Or, didn't you notice anything strange at that time?"
"Weird?"
Although he had already recounted it to Su Tao, now that Su Xian was here again, he obviously took this matter very seriously. Meng Tong thought about it carefully for a while and said, "It's really nothing unusual. When she came, I really
I was shocked. After all, True Mercury is so far away from Tianshu Star. In addition, I had also seen Taotao’s wanted notice on the terminal, so I was shocked as to why she came back for no reason. But she still
It's normal, and it looks the same as when we met before... She took away my rent for this year, and I kept her here to eat. After all, prices are soaring now, and the rent next door has doubled, but she
She still gave me the original price, which I am very grateful to her for, but she refused, saying that the time was coming and she had to leave quickly."
As she spoke, she said in confusion: "Honestly, I don't quite understand what it means that time is almost up. Why is she also wanted? So she is in a hurry to leave... But I remember that the alliance should not have the crime of consecutive imprisonment, right?
?Aunt Hui is such a nice person, so she shouldn’t have committed any crimes.”
Su Xian pondered, the same content as what Su Tao relayed to him before.
He asked: "Was she alone at that time?"
Meng Tong nodded and said: "She said she came out with two children on her back... To be honest, I almost thought those two children were you two, but she said they were not you."
"Carry them out?"
Su Xian frowned even more. Why did Yang Wanhui need to carry Xue Xiren and Xie Yunyun behind her back?
She is not a person with secrets.
Or……
Even if there are any secrets, it’s not something that can’t be shared, right?
"What time was it?"
"Around two o'clock in the afternoon."
"Two o'clock in the afternoon...it's almost time."
Su Xian thought carefully for a long time, and suddenly a light flashed in his mind, and he suddenly realized.
Ming Ran said: "She seems to be very anxious. If she is so anxious, she must have something serious to do, right?"
Meng Tong replied: "That's why I can't figure it out."
"Maybe we are thinking too complicated... We are so anxious that we have to carry Xi Ren and Yunyun out to ask you for this year's rent. Well, actually, the rent is not due yet, right?"
Meng Tong nodded.
Su Xian nodded and said, "So mom really has something urgent to do. She has no money."
"What?"
Meng Tong couldn't help being startled and said in surprise: "That's it?"
"if not?"
With a smile on her face, Su Xian said: "That's my mother. What she likes to do most is to live around her children and take care of them comfortably. The most important thing to her is
Child... So, maybe you think that my mother is very anxious, so there must be something very important, but in fact, it may be that she has no money."
He smiled and said: "I know my mother's character quite well. She is very old-fashioned, so I leave all the pocket money at home to her for safekeeping. Of course, it is quite a lot of pocket money, but what happened in the middle
Due to some accidents, Taotao and I had to live in a different place. She lived alone in Tianshu Star, which naturally cut off her source of income. It has been three years. No matter how much we save, even if we go out to work, Tianshu Star is so high.
consumption, she must have no money left."
"so what?"
"So she comes to collect rent."
Su Xian smiled and said: "She is with my two confidantes, Yi Yi and Yunyun, who are definitely not short of money, but my mother is absolutely embarrassed to just let the younger generation spend money...especially when they are away from home.
What’s more, she happened to be in True Mercury, so she hurriedly asked you for money. Of course, she was probably embarrassed to ask you to collect rent in advance, so you wanted to invite her to dinner, but she refused without thinking.
, I think she was afraid that my two confidantes would find out that she was here to ask for money, so she was in a hurry to go back."
Meng Tong no longer knew what to say.
She thought it was the enemy's pursuit that made Aunt Hui so urgent? Or maybe she had to save her daughter as soon as possible...
But I didn't expect that it was just because of lack of money.
"As for two o'clock in the afternoon, it's almost time... I guess..."
After smoothing his thoughts, Su Xian was inspired and guessed the explanation instantly.
"I guess it may be that the hotel or hotel needs to renew, right? After all, we are really Mercury, and it is customary to renew or check out at two o'clock in the afternoon."
