Chapter 163: Chen Duo's Changes, Ma Xianhong's Retreat

Zhuge Qing was on the plane home, his expression hesitant and his mind heavy with thoughts.

"Brother, what are you thinking about? Your relationship with Wang Ye is so good now, is it worth thinking about him like this?"

Zhuge Bai turned his head to look at the contemplative-looking Zhuge Qing and asked.

A flight attendant walked over, her eyes fixed on Zhuge Qing, and then set down a bottle of drink.

Zhuge Bai rolled his eyes; he was used to it.

But this time, Zhuge Qing didn't even say thank you.

He really was thinking about something.

"Brother!"

Zhuge Bai gave Zhuge Qing a nudge.

"Stop thinking about Wang Ye, think about how to explain things to Dad when we get back!"

"Huh? I wasn't thinking about Wang Ye!"

Zhuge Qing came back to his senses, and after realizing what Zhuge Bai had said, he was speechless.

"I was thinking about other things."

It was an invitation.

And he was considering whether to go to that place.

Seeing Zhuge Qing fall into silence again, Zhuge Bai shook his head helplessly, pulled his hat down to cover his face, and didn't make a sound.

After the plane landed and they left the airport, Zhuge Qing hailed a car; Zhuge Bai followed to climb in, but was directly blocked by Zhuge Qing.

"I have something to do and won't be going back yet; I'm going out to wander around and clear my head. You go back by yourself first."

After saying this, he pulled the car door shut, leaving Zhuge Bai standing in the wind, disheveled.

What the hell is this?

……

Ma Xianhong looked at Chen Duo in front of him with a grave expression; at his feet lay a person, life or death unknown.

"This person stole my things, I have to take them back."

"No, I can't let you take them!"

Chen Duo shook her head with a calm expression, but the massive amount of Qi on her body made the surrounding space somewhat distorted.

Seeing this scene, the corner of Ma Xianhong's eye twitched slightly.

Where did this monster pop out from?

He had never heard of her before.

This amount of Qi—let alone seeing it, he hadn't even heard of it. The few Dharma Artifacts he had thrown out just now that could absorb an enemy's Qi had been blown apart instantly.

"Hand the person to me, I'll take them away, and I won't bother you!"

Chen Duo looked at Ma Xianhong earnestly.

"No!"

Ma Xianhong looked down for a moment and shook his head.

But the next moment, a figure rushed in front of him, and he instinctively raised his hands to block.

A cracking sound rang out from his arm.

Ma Xianhong's pupils contracted; the Wudou Armor on his arm had been broken, and as he was sent flying, several shattered beads fell to the ground.

Chen Duo sent Ma Xianhong flying with one strike, glanced at him without pursuing, bent down to pick up the person at her feet, and turned to leave.

"Who exactly are you?"

Looking at Chen Duo's back, Ma Xianhong shouted out.

But Chen Duo acted as if she hadn't heard, grabbing the person by the back of their collar and dragging them toward the woods.

"This guy!"

Looking at his own arm, Ma Xianhong frowned in thought, collected the broken beads from the ground, and turned to leave.

Although Divine Weapon Refinement could quickly refine other things into Dharma Artifacts after dismantling them,

it couldn't function at all when faced with the kind of Qi this opponent possessed.

Divine Weapon Refinement had its limits, too.

Ma Xianhong felt a sense of dread, and his arrogance was dampened quite a bit.

Chen Duo, however, didn't take this matter to heart at all; she dragged the mission target along a certain direction, and before long, she saw the people from Na Du Tong waiting.

"Delayed by time, did you run into trouble?"

Liao Zhong looked at Chen Duo as she walked out and asked.

The Na Du Tong employee beside him walked over quickly, took the person from Chen Duo's hand, nodded at Liao Zhong after taking a look, and then performed the Sealing Pulse Needle and binding in one smooth motion.

"I didn't run into trouble!"

Chen Duo shook her head.

The opponent she met this time wasn't troublesome.

It was even easier than using Gu attacks before.

"That's good, let's go. There's news from headquarters; you can continue working as a Temporary Worker here, and the Company will issue your allowances and subsidies on time.

Also, you can go out when you don't have work, but your phone must be turned on. Furthermore, you are not allowed to kill anyone when there is no mission."

Liao Zhong nagged like an old mother.

Chen Duo nodded with a calm expression, then climbed into the car.

Seeing Chen Duo like this, Liao Zhong sighed helplessly.

This personality really hadn't changed at all.

"Give me money!"

Just as Liao Zhong thought about having climbed into the car, Chen Duo suddenly blurted out a sentence.

"Huh?"

"Give me money. These past two days Feng Baobao has surpassed me; I want to surpass her back."

Chen Duo said.

"Surpassed you in what?"

Liao Zhong asked subconsciously.

Chen Duo took out her phone and gestured toward Liao Zhong, and Liao Zhong's face turned green instantly.

Although the compensation for a Temporary Worker is actually quite good, games are bottomless pits.

This girl wouldn't turn into a gaming addict and throw all the money she earns into it, would she?

Liao Zhong just wanted to dissuade her, but then he thought that Chen Duo rarely has things she is interested in; since she likes it, then let her play.

He would remind her later.

"Mm, when we get back I'll give you the money, but the card will have a limit."

Liao Zhong was still uneasy.

He always felt that if he didn't manage it, Chen Duo might spend it all in one day.

After all, Chen Duo really has no concept of money.

"Okay."

Chen Duo nodded, lowering her head to quietly poke at her phone.

Liao Zhong turned his head back and signaled to drive; the car was quiet for a good while before Chen Duo suddenly spoke again.

"Feng Baobao, you're cheating. I don't have money right now, so you can't spend money either!"

Hearing Chen Duo say this, Liao Zhong had the urge to cover his forehead, but then he felt that this seemed pretty good too.

This counts as her second good friend, right?

On the other side.

North China Branch.

"You don't have money, so you're blaming me?"

Feng Baobao lay on the sofa and said to her phone.

Xu San, who was busy with work, looked up at Feng Baobao.

"Spend less; your money is almost all gone."

"Oh! Right, Xu San, you told me you were going to buy a Bead Bracelet."

Feng Baobao suddenly sat up in one motion, staring straight at Xu San, though her fingers didn't stop on the phone.

"Didn't you say you didn't want it anymore?"

Xu San's expression stiffened upon hearing this.

"But if you promised something, you have to do it."

Feng Baobao was righteous and confident.

Me not wanting it is one thing, but you fulfilling your promise is another; this is Feng Baobao's... way of thinking.

"Cough, cough, they've already returned to Baiyun Guan, and we are too far away; let's talk about it when we meet again later."

Xu San once again employed a stalling tactic.

"No, how about converting it into money? How about fifty percent off? It's only five hundred thousand!"

Feng Baobao's eyes flashed with shrewd light.

Xu San stared at Feng Baobao with dead fish eyes.

"Get lost!"

"Alrighty!"

Hearing this, Feng Baobao got up directly and trotted out.

"Damn, Xu Si and Zhang Chulan, these two guys, what have they taught Baobao to be like!"

Xu San said viciously.

She was such a good girl before; look at what she's become now.

Thinking of this, Xu San took out his phone to contact Xu Si, but then stopped.

"I'll deal with them when they get back."

After saying this viciously, Xu San cast his gaze onto the file in front of him.

"Ding Daoan was abducted from the Bunker by the Acting Sect Leader of All-encompassing with the Four Maniacs; search for Ding Daoan's whereabouts?"

Looking at the contents of the file, the little Daoist priest he had seen on Longhu Mountain appeared in Xu San's mind.
