Volume 3: The Secret of the Door Chapter 71 Wontons, Fried Dough Sticks and the Xie Sisters
Do you mind having two more?
Of course I mind!
I, Goethe, am the most affectionate and loyal person in the world. When Goethe sensed that the female swordsman was getting dressed and standing up, he clearly positioned himself and looked at Zote with a smile.
Zote had some sweat on his forehead.
Because the female swordsman pushed the door open and glared at him.
His eyes were filled with coldness and a hint of anger.
Coupled with the unconscious addition of a hint of [Ba Dao], Zote could hardly bear it.
But once you get the money, you have to do the job.
Moreover, he had already thought of an excuse before coming.
Immediately, Zote was about to speak.
But before he could open his mouth, an extremely domineering and frightening aura hit him in the face.
She is a female swordsman.
Zot only took a glance and felt as if a big knife fell from the air and chopped straight towards him. This scene was extremely real, or it was real in Zot's perception.
Zote was horrified and took several steps back.
It was unintentional just now.
Now it's a warning.
Zote retreated behind the two cloaked women, and the aura disappeared.
At this moment, as Zote retreated, the two young ladies of the Xie family became hostile to the female swordsman.
Xie Ling, who was slightly shorter, took a step forward and stood in front of Xie Wan, who was slightly taller. Under his gentle aura, the sharp aura of the blade was dissolved bit by bit.
Eventually, it disappears into thin air.
The female swordsman's eyes showed even stronger fighting spirit.
They were beaten at home and she had no reason to hide.
At this time, the only option is to draw the sword.
Xie Ling, who is slightly shorter, was also extremely excited.
She resisted the arrangement made by her family.
Unfortunately, resistance was useless and he was caught again.
But this doesn't mean she will give in.
"This woman is obviously Goethe's lover. If we beat her up, Goethe will never let my sister and I in no matter what!"
With such thoughts in mind, Xie Ling became more and more excited.
A slightly chilly aura began to flow into the soft force, just like a needle hidden in cotton, seemingly vulnerable but actually powerful.
The two sides are on the verge of a war.
Zote winked at Goethe repeatedly.
It is true that he does things for money, but he just hopes that his friend can truly have the support of the 'Xie Family' - he can't see the current situation clearly, but the stronger his side is, the better.
Otherwise, even though he is greedy for money, he would never cheat his friends.
After all, it’s only 12,500.
Not even if it were a hundred times more.
As for a thousand times more?
Hmm...
He thought he could talk it over with Goethe to see if they could split it up.
Of course, that was later.
Now?
Zoete found Goethe sitting there, unmoved.
As if she didn't see his expression.
Goethe certainly saw it.
However, Goethe did not want to pay attention, just like when Zote met Qin Huaner, Xie Wan and Xie Ling outside the boxing gym, he sensed everything but did not stop it.
It’s definitely not because of the animal ear bikini!
Animal ears and bikinis are all empty talk!
He just wants to increase his own strength!
After all, with the help of the 'Xie Family', he can gain more [Bloody Honor] in a short period of time!
Yeah, yes, that's it.
So, Goethe had already been thinking about what to do.
Finally, he thought of the words of a saint from his hometown: "The highest good is like water. Water benefits all things without contending, and stays where people hate, so it is close to the Tao. It lives in a good place, has a deep heart, is kind to others, speaks truthfully, governs well, works effectively, and acts at the right time. Because it does not contend, it has no blame."
People should be like water. Water is good at helping all things instead of competing with them.
Just like now, he wanted to help the female swordsman.
But does the female swordsman need help?
Not necessary.
As for the two sisters of the Xie family?
He is not familiar with it.
So, he just stayed there like water, not fighting or competing.
You can see, I'm here.
You can't see me, but I'm here too.
Whether you are there or not, I am there.
This is an existence that is almost like "Tao".
Goethe was talking nonsense in his heart.
In fact, it is another advanced way after "no objection, no rejection, no promise": "pretending to be innocent" and "pretending to be helpless".
Goethe didn't want to either.
But who can blame him for not being a scumbag who doesn't know how to say sweet words to make girls happy?
well!
Too bad I'm not a scumbag!
Goethe sighed and waved to Zhao She, who came trotting over with a food box in his hand.
"Master, we have your favorite shrimp wontons, half in soup and half dry.
Add more seaweed and coriander to the soup.
Put more sesame paste and chopped cashews on the dry ones. "
Zhao She opened the food box and started serving morning tea.
He didn't even look at the confrontation on the side.
It is true that he is the manager of the boxing gym, but Goethe is here, so naturally everything depends on Goethe.
After so many years of wandering around, Zhao She knew what to do at such times: he would do whatever Goethe told him to do.
The rest?
Of course, it is to take care of Goethe's food and daily life.
"And the fried dough sticks you requested yesterday.
Old fire, extra crispy. "
Two large fried dough sticks were placed on a white porcelain plate, one side was red-gold and the other side was golden yellow. In the sunlight, the residual oil made them look a little shiny.
Goethe put it in his mouth and took a bite.
Crunch.
It's really crispy and pleasant.
It is even more delicious when dipped in wonton soup.
Goethe's unrestrained eating and drinking made the female swordsman certain that she knew about Goethe's engagement with the "Xie family" and had inquired about it in detail.
So, she knew that Goethe was being forced into doing something he was not prepared for.
But what did Goethe really think?
The female swordsman was not sure.
Because, that is the Xie family.
But when Goethe ignored her and started eating and drinking, the female swordsman knew that Goethe was telling her that he was in charge of everything and she was in charge of everything.
Suddenly, he grasped the hilt of the knife, and his momentum increased.
A domineering aura.
A ruthless blade.
A gentle yet loving heart.
Inexplicably, there was a slight interweaving at this moment.
However, such emotions did not affect the 'Jueqing Zhan'.
On the contrary, the 'Jueqing Slash' became even more terrifying at this time.
A trace of metallic light began to condense at the fingertips of the female swordsman.
That ethereal breath.
At this moment it began to solidify into substance.
Um?
The female swordsman noticed this change and was a little stunned.
The opening chapter of [Ba Dao] explains the main purpose of this sword technique: 'The ruthless and heartless can be killed with one sword, while the loyal and righteous can leave no corpse'!
But now...
It seems a little different.
As the opponent of the female swordsman, Xie Ling was the first to notice the changes in her opponent.
Suddenly, the second young lady of the Xie family became more excited.
She has never met a rival among her peers.
Even Qin Huan'er is inferior to her.
The same is true of the female swordsman just now.
But that was just now.
Now?
When you meet your match, you will meet a talented person!
Therefore, Xie Ling not only did not take action to interrupt, but instead waited patiently for the female swordsman to adjust her state.
She, Xie Ling, would never take advantage of someone's misfortune.
Xie Wan, who was standing behind Xie Ling, sighed slightly.
As the eldest daughter of the Xie family, Xie Wan is unable to practice secret martial arts due to physical reasons, but because of this, she has time to learn other things and time to think about more things.
She was well prepared for her grandfather to ask them to get married.
She originally thought it was one of the three families: Wang, Zhao, and Li.
Among them, the Zhao family is the most likely.
Because this branch is closest to her family.
The Zhao family's original surname was not Zhao, but after the head of the Zhao family recognized the "Martial Saint" as his godfather, his descendants simply changed their names to Zhao.
She didn't have any further thoughts on this.
It's all about family.
The same is true even for marrying a Goethe.
She didn't run then.
He was dragged away by Xie Lingsheng.
She was not in a hurry about this.
She knew the strength and influence of her family, so she waited with peace of mind for her family to take her back.
In fact, this is true.
Soon, she was found by her family.
but……
What happened next was different!
Goethe secluded himself for three months.
As soon as he came out of seclusion, he destroyed the "Seven Killing Hall".
Even the leader of the Seven Killings Hall became a prisoner.
Next are the Four Wonders of the South China Sea, the Six Ghosts of Mangshan, the Three Heroes of Jiangdong, Qian Ding and Sun Liu.
If we take these people out individually, it's nothing.
But put together, it's impossible to ignore.
Soon after, the Black Wind, Blood Evil and White Bone Halls were destroyed one after another, and there was enough evidence to point out that it was Goethe who did it.
There are also rumors that the "Tiandao League" also suffered losses at Goethe's hands.
Almost overnight.
The name Goethe appeared in the eyes of all the big figures in the Thirteen Continents.
Also associated with Goethe's identity.
Descendant of the 'Martial Saint'!
After learning the news, Xie Wan, who was already shocked by a series of news, fell into deep thought.
Based on this news, she carefully collected more information and finally came to a conclusion: Goethe was definitely a terrible person who was deeply scheming for revenge.
If such people cannot be eliminated.
Then never see each other again in your life.
Unfortunately, others can do it, but she can't.
Because her last name is Xie.
The Xie family was born to stand in the camp of the Martial Saint.
even though……
She doesn't want to.
So, she showed up in Green Ivy City.
But he refused Grandpa and Grandpa Xie An's invitation to follow him.
If she and her sister step forward and fail, the elders in the family will still have a chance to save the situation. However, if the elders in the family step forward at the beginning but end up falling out, that would be the worst situation.
Just like now.
Xie Wan looked at Goethe who was just eating without paying any attention.
He looked again at Zhao She, who was bending over to get some side dishes for Goethe.
Then he looked at Zot, who had a face full of shame and was actually using his mouth to gesture to him, asking him to use his 'ultimate move'.
Xie Wan sighed.
She raised her hand to stop her sister Xie Ling.
Then, she took a step forward and took off her hood, revealing a gentle and peaceful face. Her voice was so gentle that it made people feel relaxed.
“Sister, we have no ill intentions.
I had no choice but to come here.
I don’t have any intention of competing with my sister.”
As Xie Wan spoke, she took two steps forward again and grabbed the female swordsman's hand.
"My grandfather was pressuring us, so Ling'er and I had no choice but to come to Green Vine City. If we had agreed before, we wouldn't have gone to hide at Sister Huan'er's house.
But grandpa caught us back again.
We can't run away this time, we can only surrender.
But we only agreed openly, and we didn't have any other thoughts privately. Otherwise, I wouldn't have persuaded Grandpa to stay at home and let me and Sister Ling'er come first."
Xie Wan presented facts and reasoned.
The logic is clear and reasonable.
The female swordsman loosened her grip on the sword.
Xie Wan took the opportunity to hold her other hand as well.
"Sister, please help me and Ling'er. We will never cause any trouble to you and your husband. We will just hide and avoid them.
We'll figure out a solution once things calm down a bit.
Sister, do you think it's okay?"
As she spoke, Xie Wan's eyes turned red.
The female swordsman is soft-hearted and usually has a cold face, but she is actually a very kind person at heart. Otherwise, she would not have continued to be tricked by Goethe after being tricked by him once at the beginning.
Moreover, the female swordsman is extremely trustworthy.
He is a man of his word in the true sense.
Xie Wan had investigated everything thoroughly before coming.
I saw the female swordsman hesitated.
He immediately said again.
"I have asked all the businesses and companies of the Xie Family to take action and help my brother-in-law contact those companies and individuals who have weapons tainted with the family's bloodline.
Those companies and individuals will surely respond soon.
These will be regarded as the rent for Ling'er and I to live here."
The hesitant female swordsman was moved.
She knew that Goethe had been looking for the weapons that were tainted with the blood of the Martial Saint.
Why?
She doesn't know.
She only knew that Goethe was looking for her.
And that's enough.
Turning her head to look at Goethe who was still eating wontons and fried dough sticks, the female swordsman turned back and said.
"good"
"Thank you so much, sister!
Thank you, sister!"
Xie Wan thanked her repeatedly and said that she still had some luggage in the hotel and would go back to move it.
At this time, Goethe, who had finally finished a bowl of wontons, put down the bowl and raised his head.
Coincidentally, Xie Wan was looking back.
Their eyes met.
Xie Wan blushed and lowered her head with a faint smile.
It smells like tea!
Goethe narrowed his eyes.
He found that he had underestimated the eldest lady of the Xie family. Compared with the second lady of the Xie family who possessed considerable power, the eldest lady of the Xie family was more difficult to deal with.
The voice was soft.
But it's a hidden trap.
Not only did he humble himself from the start, he also declared that he was just avoiding and hiding.
How long can you avoid it?
How long will you hide?
Who knows this?
And help him contact those companies that own weapons tainted with the blood of the descendants of the "Mad King".
This cost is not low.
And what is the name of this expense?
Is it really rent?
still……
dowry?
More importantly, the female swordsman would not refuse, and neither would he.
"To be able to become one of the nine members of the Security Committee... the Xie family is truly worthy of its reputation."
Goethe thought of Xie Yinyang.
Xie Wanyuan is not as skilled as Xie Yinyang.
But it does have a similar meaning.
They all make the most of their own advantages.
Xie Yinyang is taking advantage of his seniority.
Xie Wan pretended to be gentle.
Moreover, she pretends to others but does not hide it from him.
I saw——
Xie Wan, with her head down and a blushing smile, suddenly gestured a few words to him with her mouth.
What about 'animal ears' and 'bikini'?
Goethe couldn't understand him at all.
It has nothing to do with him.
It's all Zot's fault.
Thinking of this, Goethe glared at Zot fiercely.
Coincidentally, the female swordsman saw it.
The female swordsman felt sweet in her heart.
She felt that Goethe was because of him.
"Zot was also forced into a corner. The Xie family was not something he could refuse. Besides, it wasn't a bad thing for the two young ladies of the Xie family to come to the gym."
The female swordsman said softly.
It can be considered as helping Zote out of trouble.
Zote quickly bowed in gratitude and prepared to sit down to eat.
At this moment, Goethe narrowed his eyes.
Another bait, and finally a fish took the bait!
