Chapter 622 Different things in different places
On the first day of the martial arts competition, Yun Xi and other guests were not absent, but the judges present in the afternoon session were no longer Yun Xi and Ying Nian Ling.
After the day's competition, Yun Xi returned to Wangjiang Tower exhausted both physically and mentally.
"I didn't expect that just sitting there for a whole day would make me more tired than practicing for a whole day."
She sat by the bed, lay down decadently, and talked to Ying Nianling.
As soon as Ying Nianling came back, she picked up a fruit from the table and took a bite. The sweet juice exploded in her mouth, and her taste buds almost burst into laughter.
"Is it because it's too boring?"
she asked.
"Hmm."
At least there is something to do in practice, but when she is sitting there and not being a judge, she is just a pure spectator. She is not a martial arts fanatic, and her interest in the competition on the stage is waning, and because of her identity, she cannot enter samadhi in broad daylight.
Or playing with her mobile phone. If it weren't for Bai Qing and the others to talk to her, she might really be bored to death.
"The boring life of a social animal..."
She suddenly felt that if she worked as a laborer one day, she might live such a rogue life.
But fortunately, after today, she only needs to attend the martial arts conference when her own class is scheduled. At other times, she should continue to temper her spiritual veins in the room. She has not forgotten the hidden mission.
Ying Nianling seemed to feel a little uncomfortable after sitting there for so long. A fruit as big as a fist was killed by her in just a few strokes.
She gently tossed the core and threw it accurately into the trash can, and then asked Yun Xi: "Yun Xi, do you want to go out to play tonight?"
It’s not that she wanted to play, she just thought that Bai Qing and You Tingjing might come to visit her later.
Yun Xi waved her hand: "If you don't want to go, don't go. Let's practice hard first. If you really want to play, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
If you are greedy for temporary pleasure, you may have to pay a bloody price in the future. The most taboo thing on the path of spiritual practice is to combine work and rest instead of leisurely leisurely.
"Oh."
Ying Nianling didn't say anything, she just continued to pick up an apple and bite it. In fact, she also had a room of her own, but since Yun Xi was here, there was no need for her to run to another room to rest. p>
While eating, there was a knock on the door.
Just one sound.
Yun Xi was stunned and raised her head slightly: "Is someone knocking on the door?"
Ying Nianling looked at the door and said uncertainly: "It seems so."
She took the uneaten apple, walked to the door and opened it, and a familiar figure came into view.
Ying Nianling's eyes widened slightly, a little surprised: "Li Zixiao, why are you here?"
After hearing the sound, Yun Xi stood up from the bed with a "whisper" and walked over to see Li Zixiao standing outside the door. She was even more surprised than Ying Nianling.
"Zixiao? Why are you here?"
She thought about Xiao Lingyuan, Ye Nianhan or Lu Qi coming to find her, and even thought about the possibility of Xia Qingyao coming, but she never thought about Li Zixiao.
It's not because the relationship is bad, but this woman has never seemed like someone who would do such a thing, unless... there is something important.
Yun Xi suddenly frowned and said solemnly: "Did something happen?"
Li Zixiao is still wearing a long white dress, with a slim figure and a calm expression.
"Passing by."
Her response made Yun Xi's expression stunned.
"Road, passing by?"
The speaking style is very Li Zixiao, but the content always feels a little wrong.
Li Zixiao walked past Ying Nianling into the room and sat down in front of the round table.
Yun Xi touched her head, with a confused look on her face, what's going on with this girl?
Ying Nianling leaned her upper body out of the door and closed the door after realizing that only Li Zixiao came. She was also a little confused, but it was better to let Yun Xi do the questioning. She was stupid and could easily say the wrong thing. Yun Xi did not live up to her expectations and asked directly: "Are you here alone? Where are Xiao Yuan'er and the others?"
"I don't know." Li Zixiao said softly, while looking at Yun Xi with a sharp look.
Yun Xi felt cold for no reason, and immediately realized that she might have said the wrong thing. People had come all the way to find her. Instead of welcoming them, she immediately asked others.
Emotional intelligence is low.
She reached out and patted Li Zixiao's shoulder and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, what are you going to do during this time? Do you want to just live with me in Wangjiang Tower?"
Yun Xi looked back at the bed behind her: "My bed... is quite big."
Li Zixiao's face turned slightly red for some reason. She turned her head back and her eyes fell on the table.
"Okay."
Yun Xi smiled and said: "However, apart from attending martial arts conferences during this period, I have actually been practicing here, so I should be a little bored."
Li Zixiao turned around again, his eyes indifferent as if he was looking at an idiot.
"..."
Yes! I am so stupid. Does Zi Xiao seem to be afraid of boring people? This girl herself is the most boring person.
Yun Xi held her face in her hands and gave it a silly laugh. Just as she was about to speak, there was another knock on the door. The sound was not loud, but very rhythmic.
Just by hearing the knock on the door, Yun Xi knew who it was.
"Come in."
She spoke directly.
The door was opened, and an enchanting figure walked in, with a snow-white little fox sitting on its shoulder.
Who else could it be besides You Tingjing and Bai Qing?
"Tsk~ Why didn't Xiao Yunxi come to see her? It turns out there are other people hiding in the room~"
You Tingjing looked at Li Zixiao with a smile on her lips and a bit of joking in her eyes.
Li Zixiao stood up and looked at Youtingjing quietly. It was obvious that her level was inferior, but her momentum was not inferior to hers at all.
Xiao Lingyuan was right. This demonic witch should be guarded against. On the first night of the martial arts conference, she had already attacked Yun Xi's room at night.
Yun Xi sat on the stool, put her elbows on the table, supported her head and said, "What are you doing here?"
You Tingjing ignored Li Zixiao's eyes, walked to the sofa and sat down, and said softly: "I have been bored all day, so of course I came to talk to you~ This little fox is not very good at chatting~"<
/p>
Bai Qing jumped up from You Tingjing's shoulders, landed on the table, and snorted coldly: "You only know how to show off!"
You Tingjing changed from sitting to lying down, leaning on the sofa, and said: "Life is short, if you can't live according to your own wishes, what's the point~"
Bai Qing raised her tail and said arrogantly: "My wish is not to talk to you."
"I don't know who likes to crawl into other people's arms~"
You Tingjing’s eyes narrowed.
Bai Qing's face turned red and her heart stopped beating: "These are two different things."
Yun Xi looked at this group of people and realized that they really weren't here for anything serious. She felt a little helpless and had no choice but to say: "Since you're bored, let me get you some midnight snacks."
"This is what I've been waiting for~"
You Ting's eyes were shining brightly.
As soon as Li Zixiao heard that Yun Xi was going to make a midnight snack, he sat down quietly and waited for Yun Xi's craftsmanship.
……
……
"Yaozi, what is the situation you mentioned before?"
After leaving Jiang Ming's Spiritual Field, Xiao Lingyuan and others did not immediately return to their respective places of residence. Instead, they arranged for Li Zixiao to go to Yun Xi, and then the rest of the group went to a quiet place to discuss matters. p>
Nangong Yao said: "Let Wei Wenlong explain this in detail."
Wei Wenlong nodded, first telling him about the human trafficking incident that Yun Xi had previously conveyed to him, and then telling everyone about the subsequent investigation of the Wei family.
"...Later, after an investigation by the Wei family, we discovered that the human trafficking incident Yun Xi mentioned was not ordinary human trafficking. It probably also involved orcs and spiritual cultivators."
"Orcs?"
Everyone was shocked.
Orcs have always been the mainstream goods in the Tianling human trafficking black market, firstly because of their appearance, secondly because they are not Tianling people, and their status in the Tianling continent is also very low, and thirdly, the price is higher than that of Tianling people.
For things like selling orcs, as long as there is no accident when catching orcs, you can usually complete the process relatively safely and make a lot of money.
In Tianling's underground black market, there has always been a complete process for the sale of slaves. It is not that the Tianling Alliance has not tried to catch them, but all they caught were small fish and shrimps. Moreover, there are many members of Tianling's big families.
The male and female servants are all orcs. As victims of human trafficking, they are opposed to eradicating the underground black market.
They are even covering it up in secret.
People act for their own interests. If you want to eliminate evil, you must involve the interests of some people. No one knows how much power this group of people... actually possess.
Xiao Lingyuan asked seriously: "Then what are you planning to do?"
Just the three words "Orcs" can be the reason for everyone to shrink back, not because of how powerful the Orcs are, but because the sellers and buyers of the Orcs are usually not simple.
Being able to go to other continents to capture people brought back by the orcs and secretly sold... How can it be simple?
Wei Wenlong sighed: "The master of the house means to investigate the situation first and not to act rashly. We have already investigated that there is an auction house in the Hanming Mountains. What we need to do now is to sneak into the auction house and investigate it clearly, but we want to
To catch them all...it’s not easy.”
Dare to open an auction house in the Hanming Mountains. The people behind this know that it is unusual. The Wei family is indeed an old family, but the family is just a family after all. Although there are strong people among them, the number is not large, even if all
It is easy to destroy an auction house, but it is difficult to catch the person behind the scenes.
Xiao Lingyuan and others also sighed when they heard this. Indeed, if the matter could be solved so easily, how could it still be here today?
Where the light is brighter, the shadow will be darker.
They used to think that the Tianling Alliance was powerful and unparalleled in the world, and managed the Tianling Continent in an orderly manner. However, as they grew up step by step, they discovered that the Tianling Alliance was not as peaceful and peaceful as it seemed.
When the Wei family found out about human trafficking, they did not notify the Tianling Alliance immediately. Instead, they investigated it privately. This was because they also lacked trust in the Tianling Alliance. People in high positions would know more. p>
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little dull, Ling Xiaoyun said: "It doesn't have to be so heavy. Many things are uncertain until the end. No matter how far we can achieve it, we must at least move forward."
"Yeah, what's the saying? But do good deeds and don't ask about your future!"
Nangong Yao agreed with a smile. Since being with Dongfang Yao, he has become more and more responsible.
Xiao Lingyuan was not disappointed at all, she said with a smile: "I won't be afraid anyway, I will kill all the traffickers secretly, and then surprise everyone!"
"You're dreaming!" Ye Nianhan smiled angrily.
Everyone looked at each other with smiles on their faces, sweeping away the previous dullness.
……
……
September is actually autumn, but in Yuezhou, which only has winter and summer, there is no difference between autumn and summer.
In the early morning, at dawn, you can hear the crowing of cocks in the city, and the sun is still scorching hot today.
Five days have passed since she and others rescued the strange man, and Qingchan and the others have not yet left the hospital.
The reason is that they need to pay the medical bills before treatment.
They couldn't open the storage ring in the man's hand, so they had to pay for it themselves first, and to save a dying person... the cost would be high or not.
Xuanxuan sat under the eaves outside the medical center, putting her hands on her knees and supporting her head, and asked depressedly: "Qingchan, when will this guy wake up? If we continue like this, our..."
She looked back at the inside of the medical center and lowered her voice: "Our spiritual energy is all spent!"
Qingchan also said hesitantly and helplessly: "Wait a little longer..."
In fact, they originally had a certain amount of savings, but after paying the first payment, Xuanxuan said they couldn't just leave like that. They had to wait until someone woke up to get the money back before leaving.
That's the money they earned from taking missions in the Adventure Association during this period. It's their first life capital, and they can't just lose it.
After hearing this, Qingchan thought about it and felt that it made sense, so she stayed for a few more days.
Unexpectedly, the man did not wake up, but the hospital charged him medical expenses, hospitalization fees and other expenses.
This makes their already poor family even worse.
So they have reached this point. If they leave, the money they have worked hard for for a month is gone. If they don't leave, they don't know when they will wake up. But if they have to collect money again, where can they get it?
Go?
Dilemma.
"A few girls."
Just when they were at their wits' end, the doctor from the medical center came out.
Xuanxuan's face changed, she became vigilant subconsciously, and asked: "What more money should I charge? You tell me!"
The doctor blinked and said with some embarrassment: "That... is not collecting money, he is your friend, and he has woken up."
"Are you awake?"
Xuanxuan's eyes widened, and then she and Qingchan looked at each other.
The look in the eyes that brings joy after suffering.
"Then let's go over and take a look now."
The doctor nodded and reminded: "However, although he is awake now, he is only out of danger. He should not be too noisy to affect his rest."
"Don't worry."
Xuanxuan said carelessly, they have waited for so many days, how can they still not have the patience to whisper?
The doctor smiled and got out of the way. At the same time, he couldn't help feeling a little emotional and envious.
It took several lifetimes for that man to have the blessing to attract four beautiful girls to be so worried!

?It took me a whole day to write this chapter. Kavin was really uncomfortable...
?
In fact, it’s not a failure, but everyone should be able to see that I plan to advance on three fronts at the same time, but my writing power is obviously limited...
?
If it is written well, the effect should be pretty good, but if it is not written well... please forgive me...
