Chapter 121 Trap
Third Uncle quickly laid out a sumptuous feast on the table, while Ling Yunxiao and Wang Mian placed the cigarettes, alcohol, and tea they had brought in Third Uncle's kitchen. They also warmly opened a bottle of Feitian liquor and invited Third Uncle and the three of them to have a drink together.
My third uncle picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and immediately realized that the wine was genuine and truly delicious.
So, the third uncle drank most of a bottle of Moutai, his eyes filled with joy as he looked at the two of them. The two of them then showered him with compliments, their words completely natural and unnatural.
When Zhou Ping helped his third uncle back to his room, he patted Zhou Ping on the shoulder.
"If someone asks you for something difficult, don't worry, just refuse. Your third uncle has some money in his account, enough to cover the cost of this meal."
"Third Uncle, don't worry! They really are my friends. They just stopped by to see you. The thing they asked me to do is a small matter, nothing difficult."
Zhou Ping smiled shyly. His third uncle stared at him intently for a long time, and after confirming that the child had not lied to him, he fell asleep contentedly.
As Zhou Ping walked out of the local restaurant, Ling Yunxiao and Wang Mian, whose faces were already flushed from drinking, followed him out. Their complexions returned to normal as they stepped out of the door.
Zhou Ping led the two towards the more desolate suburbs. They gradually walked onto a country road. In the wheat fields beside the road, the green wheat seedlings rippled gently in the breeze like a pool of water.
"Wang Mian, perhaps it's because your path has been too smooth that you don't actually have the determination to become a god yet. Your current strength is no less than mine when I was the Sword Saint, and you even seem stronger because Ling Yunxiao has always been by your side."
However, your mindset isn't right, like a young swordsman drawing his sword for the first time. It requires more than just strength; it also requires sufficient courage and a justification.
"Wang Mian, it's clear that because you've been living too comfortably, you haven't found a reason to draw your sword yet."
After Zhou Ping finished speaking, he stopped and led the two of them to a courtyard.
"This is the small courtyard that Ye Fan bought for me. I come here to read in my spare time. You two can stay here for a while! Young heroes, the martial world is still the same no matter who is missing. Your stay for a few days won't cause any trouble for the outside world."
However, don't turn off your phones. I'll let Ye Fan know so he can contact you if anything happens.
There's rice in the kitchen and vegetables in the garden; it'll be enough for you to stay for a few days without going out.
After Zhou Ping finished speaking, he opened the small gate to the courtyard and led the two into the inconspicuous little courtyard. Wang Mian and Ling Yunxiao quietly followed behind Zhou Ping, letting him make arrangements for them.
After explaining the daily chores here, Zhou Ping turned and left the courtyard. There was still a table of food and drinks waiting for him to clean up in the local restaurant, and the dishes and chopsticks would need to be washed afterward.
a week later.
Ling Yunxiao picked a handful of pea shoots, washed them, and threw them into a bowl of noodles. Then, he happily carried the two bowls of noodles out of the kitchen. On the dining table in the courtyard, there was also a plate of stir-fried pork and a plate of garlic lettuce, also his cooking.
"Captain, come down for lunch."
After setting out the bowls and chopsticks, Ling Yunxiao looked up and shouted at Wang Mian on the roof.
Wang Mian jumped off the roof, his eyes still showing a hint of dejection.
"Yunxiao, I still haven't seen through the void and found the place where the rules converge that the Sword Immortal mentioned. Otherwise, you shouldn't waste your time here with me. Go out and have some fun for a few days. I'll be fine here by myself. Perhaps my comprehension isn't high enough, and it may take a long time before I can understand the Sword Immortal's words."
"Captain, I have nothing to do, and the environment here is quite nice. You don't need to be so polite with me. Come and have some noodles! The pea shoots taste best right after they're blanched and added to the noodles. If you wait any longer, the flavor won't be right."
Ling Yunxiao said nonchalantly, pulling out a chair for Wang Mian, and after he sat down, he stuffed chopsticks into his hand.
"Captain, I've left you some divine blood. Don't worry, you will definitely become the God of Time of Great Xia. I believe in you."
As Ling Yunxiao spoke, he sat down at the table opposite Wang Mian, picked up his bowl and chopsticks, and began to eat.
Just as the two finished their meal and put down their chopsticks, a familiar cell phone rang.
"Fahai, you don't understand love..."
Ling Yunxiao immediately frowned, looking at Wang Mian with a resentful expression, accusing him of not changing the ringtone yet.
After seeing that it was Zuo Qing calling, Wang gave Ling Yunxiao a reassuring look, indicating that he would change it right away, before answering the call.
"Wang Mian, this is Zuo Qing. Headquarters just received an unusual report from a small border town. Right now, all the other special teams are busy, but your team is on vacation."
So, I'm asking if you'd like to go on vacation to Hainan? And maybe see what's going on there.
Wang Mian frowned, about to say something, when Ling Yunxiao was already nodding frantically beside him.
"Okay, I'll take my team there. Where exactly is it?"
"Hainan City, a resort tourist area, on the coastline of Ningchang County. There's no specific record here. You are the strongest of all the Night Watch special teams; if you haven't found anything there either, it's probably a false alarm from the local team."
Of course, if you discover anything, you can take care of that while you're at it.
Zuo Qing hung up the phone immediately after speaking, and Wang Mian's brows furrowed even more.
It's important to understand that currently, only Ye Fan has the authority to mobilize their team, and Commander Ye will contact Ling Yunxiao directly, not himself, the nominal team leader.
Most importantly, since he left the masked maneuver, Zuo Qing had never spoken to him in that tone again. This sense of incongruity made him feel that something was amiss.
"Captain, no matter what the reason, we still have to go and see."
If someone has meticulously set a trap, our team is tougher and more resilient, so it's better than sending Masked Man or Phoenix. If there's no trap, it's simply that Zuo Qing's side is short-handed. As Night Watchmen, it's only natural for us to do something for Great Xia.”
"Okay! Hopefully I'm overthinking it. Let's contact them and get them together!"
Wang nodded with a smile. Ling Yunxiao made sense. If there were any traps, it would be better for their team to face them than for other teams to go.
Ling Yunxiao and Wang Mian each took out their phones and sent text messages to everyone in the team. After arriving at Hainan Airport, they also informed Zhou Ping that they were about to leave.
Then, Ling Yunxiao looked up at the void, and Garuda King descended within a minute.
