Chapter 65: The Young People of the Order of the Balance
"Thank you, Elder Fengsi."
Li Ke bowed his head and thanked him sincerely, because he was indeed treated as a son or nephew. Although the money and food that each family needed to pay was not much, it was enough for him to recruit a few guards and helpers. If he wanted, it would not be impossible to set up a small dojo here.
He originally thought that he was just employed, but he really didn't expect that he would be this kind of 'lord'. This kind of treatment would not be given if he was not treated as a son or nephew.
"It's okay, it's okay. Su Ma's disciples are equal to my disciples. If you have any needs, just let me know. As long as it's not too excessive, I will agree to it."
Feng Si looked at Li Ke with satisfaction. He was really curious about Li Ke.
So the two chatted a lot more, but although they admired Li Ke and wanted to keep Li Ke for dinner, it was still better to eliminate the monsters near Shixi Village as soon as possible.
It's not that he was reluctant to spend money to hire a powerful swordsman, or reluctant to leave his guards to deal with the monster, but this mission was simply Su Ma's excuse .
As for the monster that Li Ke wants to kill?
This kind of magical beast is unique to Shangzan, and it usually approaches human villages in this season, so this is not considered to be cheating Li Ke. It’s just that there is usually no need to ask Su Ma for disciples to come and help.
However, Su Ma was indeed very good at predicting things. In the past few days, a magical beast really approached Shixi Village. His guards were average in strength, so it was difficult to kill the beast.
In that case, let Li Ke make the trip. Shixi Village is very close to here anyway , so it will be easy to continue communicating with this young man.
So after just a few brief chats, Li Ke took Elder Feng Si's token and walked out of Elder Feng Si's room with Shen.
But before they could get close to their carriage, a young man with shockingly cold white hair appeared in front of them.
The white-haired young man had a resolute square face and was wearing a standard ninja uniform. Tied to his arms were two arm blades that looked very familiar to Li Ke.
When he saw Shen and Li Ke coming out together, a look of surprise appeared on his face, but he immediately smiled and called out Shen's name.
"Be careful!"
Shinya showed a surprised expression.
"Quit!"
The two of them quickly ran towards each other and hugged each other. Shen patted Jie's arm and looked at each other happily.
"I said I would send you a signal after we got here so that you could meet me, but I ended up meeting you here. How was it? Was the mission going well? Why did you come back here?"
Jie came here to kill the runaway spirit beast, so Shen was actually very worried about him, but now seeing that Jie was safe and sound, he felt happy.
"I'm fine. The spirit beast can still be saved, so I just chanted some spells and it went back. As for why I came here..."
When he said this, Jie took out several strange-shaped ears from his back.
"I found that some monsters wanted to attack the village, so I killed them all and came to inform the elders here to organize more hunting this year to prevent the ecological damage."
His words were very casual, not implying that he had just done something good.
But Li Ke looked at the Warcraft ears in his hand speechlessly. One of the Warcraft ears was exactly the ear of the Warcraft he needed to hunt.
So there is a high probability that he was robbed of his life by the ring in front of him before he even got to the place.
but……
Li Ke looked at the other person's thick hair and couldn't help but think of something.
So when Jie looked at him curiously and signaled with his eyes to let Shen introduce him, Li Ke spoke.
"Shen, you said that if he quits, he will eventually become bald..."
Li Ke was halfway through his words when Shen suddenly appeared behind him. His large hand directly covered Li Ke's mouth, forcing him to utter the last word.
"How could you say that!"
Shen smiled awkwardly at Jie who didn't understand what was going on and then suddenly realized what was going on. Then he growled fiercely in Li Ke's ear.
Li Ke rolled his eyes. His only understanding of Jie, apart from the fact that he would kill his master in the future, was Shen's explanation.
Naturally, Shen will say whatever he wants.
Shen said that Jie would be bald, but he saw a man with an astonishing amount of hair, so of course he would ask about it ! That makes sense, doesn't it? !
"You bastard! You were so serious just now!"
Shen hit Li Ke on the back, then introduced Li Ke to Jie.
"This is Li Ke, my new friend. Don't be fooled by his serious face, but he is actually a pervert, a bastard, and an idiot!"
Shen bluntly told Jie his understanding of Li Ke, which made Li Ke roll his eyes.
But both he and Jie were very polite and bowed to each other.
Afterwards, Li Ke looked at the 'Jie' who had cried and killed him once in the simulation. He could not see any sign that he would kill his master from the other party. Instead, he felt that...
Similar feeling?
This feeling is very mysterious, but Li Ke felt this way, which made him think of his previous guess.
A guess that he found unlikely.
It is said that it was actually a fake death, and it is speculated that Jie was manipulated by him and became Jie.
However, this guess was just a suspicion. Without truly conclusive evidence, he could not confirm it.
"I've heard Master talk about you, Mr. Li Ke. Master said you would have a wonderful life. Now that we meet, you are indeed a handsome man."
Jie's smile was very polite, and his words and actions were very measured, but what he said made Li Ke think of Ku Shuo's comments about him.
"Calling someone to cause trouble."
This made Li Ke at a loss for words... There wasn't even a hint of sarcasm in Jie's tone. Instead, it made people feel like they were in spring breeze. He was sure that he was really praising him.
But combined with what Ku said, Li Ke felt it was ironic. But looking at Jie's face with a sunny smile, Li Ke didn't think it was ironic.
But at this moment, Shen, who had just been humiliated, looked at Li Ke's strange expression and spoke with a wicked smile.
"You guessed it right, he was indeed laughing at you because he was venting his anger on behalf of his brother! That's me!"
Li Ke's smile froze, and Jie's smile also became awkward. But Shen didn't care at all, and walked to Jie's side carelessly, holding Jie's shoulder while Jie was smiling a little reluctantly.
"Although we are not brothers, we are better than brothers! Li Ke! After Jie comes, don't even think about provoking me with words! Don't be fooled by his harmless face, but I tell you, Jie is very good at scolding people!"
Shen looked proud, but Li Ke saw that Jie's smile became more and more forced, and when Shen said the last sentence, the warm smile disappeared for a moment.
Of course, when Jie spoke again, the warm smile appeared again, but...
"Of course, after all I don't have to worry about being bald."
But what he said was so chilling.
