Chapter 697 Clouds Move in All Directions
For the Liuyu Demon Lord, as long as he can send Guan Xuan away, no matter what time he is, the bell tower, the sea of swords and fire, I will dare to bury him if you dare to die!
At this time, he was very considerate: "Let her go. Isn't there a saying in the world? A girl is not a big deal. Young people should go out to explore. Without experience, there will be no growth! Guan Xuan has taken the first step in growth. You, the brother, should support her!"
Guan Xuan was getting happier and happier when she listened: "I knew it was Brother Liuyu who loved me the most!" He held his face with both hands, and his smile was sweet, like a blooming flower.
Wan Che's mouth twitched: "Uncle...that doesn't seem to mean that, right?" He glanced at the innocent and happy sister beside him. The more she did this, the more she became more worried. "But Guan Xuan has no external life experience at all, it's still too dangerous..."
The Liuyu Demon Lord waved his hand casually: "Isn't it enough to send a guard to protect her? If there is really a treasure in the clock tower at that time, it's better to give it to the human boy called... Rakshasa Ghost Emperor, it's better to take it by our demons! Even if Guan Xuan doesn't mention it, I would have sent someone to come here."
Wan Che frowned, thinking that the emperor's uncle had clearly known nothing about the Time Bell Tower, and he had to send someone over there, anyway, to find a way for Guan Xuan...
At this time, the Six Demon Lord raised his hand and flipped it. A golden light flashed in his palm. It settled into a dragon jade pendant and handed it to Guan Xuan. When he spoke again, his attitude changed from his previous casualness, but he really had the emperor's style he had given in front of the formation.
"Guan Xuan, you are going to fight for the demons this time, so I will give you this amulet. When you are away, you must always remember your identity. My demon warrior is not afraid of any challenges."
Guan Xuan nodded seriously, stood up and gave a big gift in accordance with the etiquette of the demon clan: "Thank you, Brother Liu Yu! I will definitely return with a full load and will never fall into the reputation of the royal family in the Demon Realm!"
The princess, who was still dignified the moment before, became that naughty girl when she got up. She made a face at Wan Che and ran out jumping out. With her temperament, she probably had to seriously consider which dolls to take to the Time Clock Tower.
Wan Che's frown had never let go. Seeing that Wan Xuan left, he finally turned around worriedly: "Uncle... Can this really work?"
Liuyu Demon Lord grabbed the offering peach on the table and said impatiently: "Why are you a mother-in-law and mother than a human? I ask you, what are the rising stars in the clan recently?"
Wan Che was stunned, then quickly thought: "Ah, if you want to protect Wan Xuan, Zhong Shangyan of the Fire Scorpion clan seems to be feasible... He is also from pure blood and has been practicing very hard for a long time. Now he has been promoted..."
"It's him!" Liu Yu Demon Lord made the decision directly.
"I know what you are still worried about." Seeing Wan Che still frowning, Liu Yu Demon Lord chewed all the Gong Tao in a few bites, raised his hand and wiped it out of thin air, and a crystal ball automatically appeared on the table. The stormy mist gradually dissipated, and a room full of girlish aura appeared in the crystal sphere.
The pink walls, pink curtains, and the pink bed were filled with various dolls. At this time, Guan Xuan, surrounded by dolls, was holding a bear doll, and was whispering something.
"The amulet I gave her just now, in addition to having a certain protective power, can also help us grasp her whereabouts at any time. In addition to the genius you personally recommend, you should be relieved this time, right?"
The Liuyu Demon Lord glanced at Wan Che casually and then turned his gaze back to the room in the crystal ball. Alas, I always felt that I was doing something strange, what if I were to say it in human words...
"So that's the case, the emperor's uncle is thoughtful." Wan Che, who was responsible, didn't realize anything unusual, nodded suddenly. Looking at Guan Xuan's cute smiling face in the crystal ball, I felt much more at ease, "Then I will send Zhong Shangyan a message later, asking him to prepare to go to war for our demons as a glorious warrior."
Liuyu Demon Lord nodded: "I have always been relieved to do your business. Well, all the monitoring will be left to you. I'll go for a nap." He stood up and patted Wan Che on the shoulder, threw away the leftover peach pits, and walked out of the hall in a big way.
"Hey, the emperor's uncle..." Wan Che was left behind and was confused. This emperor's uncle has been... professionally cheating his nephew for three hundred years!
***
The Time Bell Tower is about to appear, and all forces on the spiritual world continent are busy preparing for selection and preparation. The Two Lakes Chamber of Commerce, which is fully committed to the research and development of new products, naturally also received news.
On this day, a group of presidents gathered in the hall. On weekdays, no matter how close or far away they were, they were talking in a harmonious way. However, there were two seats in the hall, but they were always empty. Although the presidents exchanged greetings as usual, they also looked back and forth on the two empty seats with different emotions from time to time.
It was not until the teacup was changed again that two long-awaited figures appeared in front of the gate. Xilingchen gently waved the folding fan with one hand and slowly walked past the threshold without any awareness of the latecomers. The Forgetful Tide beside him seemed much more cramped, with his sleeves hanging in front of his chest, and he hurriedly greeted the presidents, looking quite apologetic.
President Cao slowly put down the teacup, his eyes only glanced at Xilingchen, and said sarcastically: "The official position is different, it is true. Mr. Xiling has not officially taken office yet, and his airs have been put on. Let us wait for you for a few hours here."
As a respect for Wang Dongliu, it was also more out of self-confidence. During the bet period, everyone temporarily recognized Xilingchen as the "acting president". The name he was also changed from "Xiling Little Friend" to the slightly respectful "Mr. Xiling".
But these changes are by no means affirmation of him, but just to praise this young man who is ignorant of the world. When his big words are gone and deprive all the halo of glory, it will make him fall more painfully.
"Several uncles, this is not the case..." Wang Haichao quickly spoke, and wanted to explain in detail the reason why the two were late.
"We just came from the factory." But before he could explain in detail, Xilingchen raised his folding fan and took the initiative to take it.
"Haichao and I were temporarily living and ate and lived in the factory during this period. Last night, we discussed it until late at night for a promotion plan. I was sorry when I got up today." He said that, and bowed a little to apologize.
His tone was always flat, and his face was always filled with a cold and distant smile. How could he have a slight "sorry"? But what made Wang Haichao even more inexplicable was that the situation was obviously not like this. Why did he lie? He wanted to explain from the side, but was worried that Xilingchen had other plans, so he could only swallow it in confusion.
President Cao smiled coldly and quickly pulled up the mall mask: "Where is it, Mr. Xiling worked so hard for me, the two lakes chamber of commerce, and we are too happy. But I can remind you that our recent turnover has been falling down?"
Xilingchen's eyes did not move and said lightly: "Don't panic. Everything is within my expectations." He walked slowly to the head and sat down in the widest chair. He picked up the tea cup and gently fiddled with the tea leaves in the cup.
President Cao pursed his lips without a smile: "Mr. Xiling is still young. I heard that all you young people like to play "last-minute turnaround". Okay, anyway, the deadline has not come, I'm just waiting for your "big reversal". I just hope that the last thing I'll wait for is surprise, not fright?"
After this topic was revealed, the conversation quickly turned to the topic.
"About the time clock tower that will be born in the near future, my opinion is that our chamber of commerce must seize the opportunity and must not fall behind other businesses! Therefore, regarding the transfer of left-behind personnel..."
Xilingchen's eyes moved slightly. He still remembered that before coming here, an old beggar warned himself that "don't join in the fun when the time clock tower was born." At that time, he was still half-believing and half-doubted. Now it seems that at least this prophecy has been fulfilled half-executed-
At the foot of the road, Wang Haichao stood up excitedly: "President Cao, did we agree to please the Rakshasa Ghost Emperor before and put it aside for the time being?"
President Cao snorted coldly: "Yes! So hasn't this been put on hold for a long time? It would be too late to wait until others find the medicine first!"
Wanghaichao was eager to argue again, and a light voice suddenly sounded during the heated discussion.
"I agree."
The voice comes from the only superior, and it represents the authority of the chamber of commerce.
Xilingchen leaned halfway with his hands and slowly supported his upper body: "Many times, the final result is not important. The key is the most popular thing. We will participate, so that we can have exposure." Looking around, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up, revealing an ambitious smile.
"Using the sails that were born in the Time Bell Tower, we launched the latest products of our Two Lakes Chamber of Commerce, and the time is right."
Wang Haichao looked at him in disbelief: "Brother Xiling, do you also agree with exploring the Time Bell Tower?"
Xilingchen did not respond, but the smile on the corner of his mouth became deeper and deeper. He had already thought it clearly. No matter how dangerous the other side was, the person who was going to go was not him. If he really said that, he still wished that there would be more trouble there and more casualties. Anyway, what he wanted was the Chamber of Commerce to take advantage of the popularity of this topic, and it was just "exposure"...
There was a brief silence in the hall. Obviously, the presidents did not expect Xilingchen to stand on their side so easily. But since the nominal president had nodded and the whole thing was concluded, President Cao smiled proudly and said, "Since Mr. Xiling has agreed, Haichao's nephew, you should not object anymore. Besides, this time, I have even found a candidate." He called out to the door: "Come in!"
A shadow slowly cast in front of the hall. Somehow, the presidents felt a faint chill all over their bodies at this moment.
Accompanied by the pressure, a tall man stepped slowly into the sky. He wore a set of gray armor, with sharp sleeves extending from the lower end of his arms, a special groove on his waist, and a row of golden short darts inserted. The tip of the dart was black, which seemed to be highly toxic.
He held a giant sword with a strange appearance in his hand, and the front end of the sword was divided into three sections. He was wearing a tattered cloak behind him, and the pattern on the upper end was blurred. He was carrying a longbow on his back and wearing a hood, covering his entire head. It was difficult to tell the difference between appearance and age.
Every time this person takes a step, cracks will appear in the tiles in the hall. The mountain-like pressure comes out, and the teacups on everyone's desks shake.
Xilingchen's expression rarely showed a bit of solemnity. He carefully observed the visitor and said to himself: "This person... is so strong a sense of oppression." After exploring the soul power in detail, his eyes narrowed slightly, "No, is it half human and half demon?"
Although Wang Haichao was secretly afraid under the oppression of the other party, this matter was related to the entire chamber of commerce, and he still plucked up his courage to stand up: "I wonder if this friend is?"
President Cao smiled and said, "He is a knight I hired for a lot of money. Jian Bugui. With him taking action himself, the victory of this trip can be said to be in his pocket."
As his eyes bet, a cold voice came from his hood: "I don't care about other things. I'll pay it for me."
The sound was muffled, as if it was a tough man. But the threat contained in it was still unabashed. President Cao's smile also stiffened a little, and he replied: "This is natural, this is natural."
Wang Haichao looked at the person for a while, and seemed to have seen something, so he wanted to ask. Xilingchen, who was beside him, waved his hand coldly at him, his eyes experiencing a profound and unfathomable look.
After the meeting, Wang Haichao chased Xilingchen closely, impatiently: "Brother Xiling..."
Xilingchen did not pause in his footsteps: "Haichao, do you like to explain to others?"
Wang Haichao didn't know what he meant, so he nodded silently: "It's... because I don't want misunderstandings between people, so I think it's necessary to communicate with each other."
Xilingchen said lightly: "But you have thought that, first, you cannot explain it to the whole world, second, even if you explain it, you may not get the effect you want. Many times, what you need between people is just a step. Is sincerity and lies really that important?"
Wang Haichao looked at him in confusion, and some unprecedented thoughts began to impact in his mind, but in the end he shook his head hard: "No... I think, as long as you treat others with sincerity, others will definitely respond with sincerity!"
Xilingchen sneered and tilted his thumb back: "Then what response did you respond to the uncles and uncles inside?"
Wang Haichao was speechless for a moment. After the two of them walked out like this, he seemed to remember something again, and quickly moved around to the front: "Ah, and, the sword did not return before, he was half-human and half-demon, why didn't you let me raise it?"
Xilingchen's tone seemed only natural: "No matter whether you question it or not, it will not change his identity, nor will it shake the decisions of other presidents, so why do you need to say it?"
Looking at Wang Haichao, his voice was cold, "When you have a meeting next time, think about whether this sentence must be said. Will not say it or not cause losses to the chamber of commerce? If the answer is no, try to remain silent. An inappropriate opening will only expose your ignorance."
