'Xiao Ai, send the information about this ring back to the headquarters. I want a detailed feedback report.'
'OK.'
…
After respectfully completing the action of kissing the ring, Lou Shengli returned to his seat.
Firim looked at him and said, "Have you thought about it? If you choose to join the True Seeers, you must be prepared to lose everything."
'True Seeer?! Hiss...is this the code name of their organization?' Concubine Wan Xiao frowned. After a simple comparison, she found that this 'True Seeer' seemed to have never appeared on the Sequential Network.
...This is also...too strange.
Lou Shengli was obviously hesitant after hearing this. He lowered his head and clasped his hands together. After a long time, he said, "Sir, can you please let me make arrangements for my family before I join the True Seeers?"
Felim said with some disappointment: "Shengli, you worry too much, and it is destined to affect your future destiny."
Lou Shengli's expression became stiff. Of course he knew that this arrangement was a luxury, but he asked him to let go of everything...
"Sir... I am a layman. Family is far more important to me than the future of this world. Of course... I also know that if there is no future in this world, my family will not be able to enjoy the rest of their lives safely, so... I
I thought of a compromise, you see..."
"Oh? Tell me."
Lou Shengli was slightly hesitant, but...for the sake of his family.
"You chose me because our family holds the coordinates of almost all the ruins on Gaia, so... I wonder if I provide these coordinates to you directly, can you let me quit here and return to my own country?
With your family?”
After Lou Shengli finished speaking, he looked at Felim slightly nervously, but he could feel from his tone that Lou Shengli was not joking, he did have this plan.
'The coordinates of all the ruins? Could it be!' Concubine Wan Xiao quickly realized the seriousness of the problem. It seems that these small families, second only to the eight major families, all have their own treasures at the bottom of the box, but... why were they so...
After so many years, has no one noticed the little tricks of the Lou family when they were engaged in energy exploration around the world?
However, those are not the key points that need to be solved now. Concubine Wan Xiao immediately reported the relevant information after confirming the value of Lou Shengli.
The core of the central rappel analyzed this intelligence and immediately issued reinforcement orders to the border defense forces stationed in the northwest of Percival.
After confirming that reinforcements were being assembled, Concubine Wan Xiao also increased her vigilance. She only has one goal now, which is to ensure that Lou Shengli is alive!
…
After listening to Lou Shengli's words, Felim's eyes moved slightly, but he couldn't see much expression. He pondered for a while and then said: "Shengli, do you really think so?"
Lou Shengli was startled: "Sir?"
Filim sighed softly: "Do you really think that the relationship between us is just one of using and being used?"
Lou Shengli trembled when he heard this. He was a little ashamed, because Lou Shengli had benefited a lot since coming into contact with Felim, and when Ferim came to visit, he had never thought about the resources controlled by the Lou family.
It was only now that the True Seeers needed this power that Philim made such a request to Lou Shengli as a godfather. But obviously... Lou Shengli's words just now have created a relationship between him and Philim for many years.
The feelings were burned to the ground.
"Sir...you misunderstood...you are a respectable elder. Over the years,
I have been listening to your teachings and have benefited a lot, but...you do not represent all true visioners, so at this time, it may be a better choice to be more straightforward. After all, you said that in this world,
Many misfortunes are often caused by silence. I don’t want to pretend to be confused in front of you, sir, so I hope you can see my sincerity.”
After hearing this, Felim smiled softly, nodded and said: "You are right, among the True Seeers, I can only be regarded as a charlatan who goes around and cheats. I cannot be worthy of such a big family, but you are different.
, everyone in the Lou family has to rely on you. If you choose to sign the agreement today, it will be equivalent to abandoning them all... I can understand your difficulties, but... Shengli, in fact... since
When I come to visit you and I know each other, you have already lost the qualification to withdraw, so...I am not here today to give you another path, but to ensure that you can walk smoothly on the current path."
Lou Shengli now understood that all this resistance was in vain.
He feels like a "rat" who has been in Hongyan for many years. Even if he sheds a layer of skin, he may not be able to wash his hands in a golden basin.
That being the case...
"Okay, sir, I understand. I will sign the agreement as promised, but I also have a small condition. I hope you can convey it to our superiors on your behalf."
Philim said nothing and listened quietly.
"Family is more important to me than my life, so if anyone hurts my family, no matter if he is a member of the organization or not, I, Lou Shengli, will not let him go!"
After hearing this, Felim nodded: "Don't worry about this. As long as I'm here, no one will disturb them."
With such a guarantee, Lou Shengli finally felt relieved. Then he reopened the agreement and took off the authority certificate made into a bracelet.
Philim watched silently.
But just when Lou Shengli was about to sign.
There was a "clang" sound, and the decorative copper bottle leaning against the wall fell to the ground.
Almost at the same time, both Felim and Lou Shengli looked in the direction of the sound.
What they saw next was Concubine Wan Xiao's frightened and uneasy expression.
At this moment, Concubine Wan Xiao was tiptoeing, as if planning to return to her room, but she accidentally knocked over a decorative vase at the door of the room.
Now she couldn't move, and even breathing became difficult.
After the oppressive atmosphere lasted for a few seconds, Philim's figure suddenly disappeared.
Concubine Wan Xiao was startled, and then an arm suddenly appeared in front of her and grabbed her neck. Concubine Wan Xiao's feet immediately left the ground. She grabbed the other person's hand and tried to break free, but that arm
But her hands seemed to be made of steel, no matter how much Concubine Wan Xiao struggled, it was of no avail.
Felim's figure slowly appeared. He looked at Concubine Wan Xiao in his hand, and then asked: "Who is she?"
Only then did Lou Shengli come to his senses. He put away the agreement and hurried over to explain: "Sir, this girl is...is...I just met her in the banquet hall. She drank too much. I'm worried that something will happen to her."
I brought her back, sir, please don’t hurt her!”
Although Concubine Wan Xiao was strangled by the neck, luckily Felim had a measured hand and did not kill her, otherwise she would have died long ago.
But even so, the cold palm still locked Concubine Wan Xiao's throat tightly, making her unable to speak.
come out.
"Oh? Since you met her at the banquet, why are you so interested in her? Aren't you afraid that she will know something you shouldn't know?" Ferim did not relax his hands and looked at her suspiciously.
Lou Shengli.
Lou Shengli was even more nervous, but his compassionate nature did not allow him to watch innocent people die because of him.
So he said: "Sir, this lady is also here to participate in the auction, and she has a companion. If we kill her now, it will definitely cause unnecessary trouble."
Felim thought about it and smiled coldly. His hand holding Concubine Wan Xiao's neck slowly lowered and placed her back on the ground, but he did not completely let go.
"Then what are your plans?"
Lou Shengli looked at Concubine Wan Xiao, and Concubine Wan Xiao was also looking at him.
At this time, Concubine Wan Xiao was just a weak woman who was extremely frightened. Her tearful look was particularly pitiful, especially when she saw Lou Shengli looking at her, Concubine Wan Xiao kept shaking her head, as if
Conveying her desire to live.
Although Lou Shengli was panicking, he still gritted his teeth and said: "Sir, since I have agreed to join the True Sighters, then I also have the right to handle my own responsibilities as a True Sighter, so... I still leave this girl to me.
Let’s deal with it.”
After Felim thought for a while, he exerted a slight force on his hand, and Concubine Wan Xiao rolled her eyes and stopped moving.
When Lou Shengli saw this, he was shocked and said, "Sir! This is what you are doing!"
"Don't worry, she's not dead." Felim let go of her hand, and Concubine Wan Xiao fell to the ground. Although she was unconscious, it could be seen that she was still breathing.
Lou Shengli was still a little worried, so he stepped forward to confirm and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, hurry up and sign the agreement. I have to meet other people."
After Lou Shengli laid Concubine Wan Xiao down, he sighed softly, and when he was about to stand up, he suddenly felt someone pulling him.
This movement was so subtle that Lou Shengli's heart moved. He silently stood up and sat down in front of the sofa without looking back.
The agreement was re-opened, and this time no one bothered.
After confirming that Lou Shengli signed the agreement, Felim put on his hat and left.
After Felim left, Lou Shengli returned to Concubine Wan Xiao. Looking at the girl on the ground, he sighed softly: "Get up... stop pretending..."
Concubine Wan Xiao remained motionless.
Lou Shengli frowned, touched Concubine Wan Xiao with his foot and said: "I said, it would be pointless for someone as big as you to pretend to be unconscious in front of us commoners?"
This time Concubine Wan Xiao finally made some movement, but she still didn't get up or open her eyes. She just lay there and said, "I am your savior. Is this how you treat your benefactor?"
Lou Shengli was speechless: "The savior? Ha... If I hadn't saved you before, you would have been killed by your husband long ago. Who saved whom?"
Concubine Wan Xiao said with a smile: "I don't know what your gentleman's level is, but I'm not necessarily afraid of him in a fight. Besides, do you think I'm such a reckless person?"
As soon as these words came out, Lou Shengli frowned.
"What's the meaning?"
Only then did Concubine Wan Xiao open her eyes, and then sneered: "You know your identity, and you didn't expose it when I pulled your bracelet."
wristband?
Lou Shengli was startled, then opened the agreement again, and was stunned.
