Chapter 127: Fellow Countrymen Meeting Fellow Countrymen

Giving the little girl a kind smile, Xie Yaoyao raised his head to look straight into the old butler's eyes.

"What should I call you?"

Gripping Alice's small hand tightly and suppressing the unease in his heart, Frank bowed with one hand over his chest.

"Respected powerhouse, you may call me Lao Fulanke; I am a tailor and also the owner of this shop!"

To guide a stranger's attention toward material goods while deliberately downplaying the little girl's presence—truly a clever and loyal butler.

Xie Yaoyao's gaze swept over the formal wear in the surroundings; they were indeed high-quality pieces.

No wonder the old man could rely on this skill to support himself and the little girl in this strange world.

Shifting his gaze, Xie Yaoyao looked at the little loli hiding behind Frank, clutching his hand tightly. The little one was very sensible, biting her lip without making a sound, desperately trying to hide her small body behind Frank.

"Little sister, what is your name?"

Frank's heart tightened, but fortunately, the man's tone was still very gentle.

However, one could not be careless; Fantexi Cheng was not lacking in lunatics and madmen, and it just so happened that most of these madmen were very powerful.

"My lord, this is my little granddaughter, Alice! She doesn't understand anything; she is just an ordinary girl!"

"Ordinary? To me, you two are not ordinary at all!"

Ever since Xie Yaoyao equipped the 【Gunfire Baron】 Entry, everyone could immediately identify his status as a Baron, but the pair before him had not.

Coupled with the explanation of Frank's 【Butler】 Entry, Xie Yaoyao guessed that they were likely from the real world, just like him.

It was just that Xie Yaoyao was proactive and possessed power, while this master and servant were completely ordinary people.

Hearing Xie Yaoyao's words, the master and servant were startled.

Being "not ordinary" in front of a powerhouse was not a good thing.

"Don't misunderstand, I have no ill intent!" Looking at the still-vigilant old butler, Xie Yaoyao was a bit speechless. "How long have you been here?"

"Ah?"

Lao Fulanke clearly had not expected Xie Yaoyao to suddenly ask such a question and was momentarily at a loss, but he still answered honestly.

More than half of the people in Fantexi Cheng were not native-born; every day, creatures were inexplicably sent in, so there was nothing to hide.

"Three years, my lord! My granddaughter and I have been in Fantexi Cheng for three years!"

"Three years, that really hasn't been easy! Have you never thought about going back? It's precarious here; it's not peaceful!"

"My lord, you jest. Ordinary people like us..."

Frank stopped mid-sentence, stunned, his eyes fixed on Xie Yaoyao with excitement, anticipation, and disbelief!

Xie Yaoyao had never known that a person's eyes could express so many emotions at once.

"I am Chinese; you two must be British!"

Xie Yaoyao's words completely confirmed Frank's conjecture, and tears of excitement welled up in his eyes.

Although Xie Yaoyao was not from the same country as him, they were, after all, fellow countrymen from the same world.

As the saying goes, when fellow countrymen meet, their eyes fill with tears!

When Frank first arrived in this Underground City world, he had fantasized about returning one day. As time passed and he witnessed the Cruel nature of this world, Frank completely abandoned his fantasies, taking Alice to survive in this Cruel world.

Who could have imagined that just when he had completely given up on his fantasies, he would encounter a fellow countryman from the same world.

"My lord... you..."

Frank had completely lost his meticulous butler image from just a moment ago; at this moment, he was just a traveler far from home!

Xie Yaoyao understood the other party's feelings well and said with a smile.

"Mr. Frank, why don't we tidy up the shop first? You and Alice can calm down, and then we can talk slowly. We have plenty of time!"

Frank was, after all, a man of the world; upon hearing this, he took a deep breath and said.

"I wouldn't dare let you help; I can handle these simple tasks myself!"

Xie Yaoyao smiled without saying anything more and helped lift the clothing racks that had been knocked over by the explosion's shockwave one by one.

Frank did not stand on ceremony anymore, simply nodding in thanks to Xie Yaoyao while sweeping up the broken glass on the floor.

Even little Alice was very sensible, helping to pat the dust off the clothes while stealing glances at the helping Xie Yaoyao.

Once discovered, she would quickly pretend to be diligently cleaning, her little face flushed red—extremely cute!

Aside from the glass, the small shop had no other damage, and the three of them finished cleaning in no time.

In the reception area, Xie Yaoyao picked up a cup of black tea brewed by Frank and took a light sip; he didn't know tea, but he could tell it was delicious and fragrant.

"So, in our original world, there are many Travelers like me, and my arrival here was also an accident!"

Nodding, Frank easily understood why Xie Yaoyao possessed power, but he didn't care about that. Frank only cared now about whether Xie Yaoyao could return, and furthermore, if he could return, whether he could take him and Alice along.

"Since you, my lord, also came to this world by accident, do you have any plans to return in the short term?"

Frank asked cautiously, his trembling tone not at all befitting the decorum of a mature and excellent butler.

"I understand what you mean. In fact, I don't like this troublesome world either. It's fine to look at the novelties for a short time, but staying here permanently is not a good choice!"

Xie Yaoyao set down his teacup and continued.

"But I still have some matters to handle and some situations to understand. In fact, the method to return must also be sought at the City Lord's Mansion!"

Next, Xie Yaoyao explained how he had inadvertently arrived through a Rabbit Hole.

"I currently plan to start with Rabbit Roman; the kind of Rabbit Hole he creates is a relatively safe method!"

If Rabbit Roman's attitude toward Xie Yaoyao was purely fanatical admiration, then the enthusiasm of the City Lord, whom he had never met, was a bit too bizarre.

Therefore, after witnessing the strength of Wanjuxiong Yalun and Rabbit Roman, Xie Yaoyao did not intend to show up for the City Lord's welcome banquet.

Otherwise, it would be awkward to be the fish on the chopping block when others were the butchers. Even the mere Rebel Party could easily trap him in a Mirror space, so one could imagine the strength of the City Lord's Mansion, which was suppressing Aier and the others!

"My lord, I wonder if you could take us with you when you leave here? If it's really inconvenient, just taking Alice would be enough! I cannot let her stay here forever, I beg you!"

Xie Yaoyao thought about the size of the Rabbit Hole; he should be able to squeeze in while holding the little girl!

"Frank, don't get excited yet! If it's just Alice, I think it should be no problem, and I will try my best to find a way to get a couple more Rabbit Holes! But we cannot put all our eggs in one basket. Tell me, how did you two cross over to this Underground City?"
