The monk of the way of beauty

Chapter 124 Calm

Ling Xiao got off the plane halfway. On the one hand, he didn't want to go to Washington to participate in the final resolution of the matter. On the other hand, he couldn't bear the sad atmosphere in the cabin.

From Charles, to Scott, to Wolverine, to every student of the Mutant Academy, and even Blue Devil Wagner, they all looked sad.

So in the middle of the journey, Ling Xiao left the plane. He didn't even let the plane land, and jumped directly in the sky.

This is not a kind of relief. Among the many people present, only he knows that Qin is still alive, but he can't say it. This feeling is very uncomfortable.

Standing on the streets of Manhattan, watching half of the TV speech that the President of the United States said, Ling Xiao smiled lightly. He knew that Charles and the others had succeeded.

The crisis of an all-out war between mutants and humans has been eliminated, and the world has become peaceful again. Many people even don't realize that this crisis is approaching, and live peacefully as before.

However, has the crisis really been completely resolved? In Ling Xiao’s view, it is not. This time is the best and last chance for human beings. Launching a surprise attack before the mutants react is very likely to completely defeat the mutants. Although Said that the incident may last for a long time, but this is their best chance.

Miss this time, and they will never have a chance to completely defeat the mutants.

Even if Professor Charles deliberately helped cover up everything that happened in Lake Yakali, don't forget that there is also Magneto, it is impossible for him to help cover up all this, and he will even publicize it.

Magneto himself is the spiritual leader of mutants like Professor Charles, not to mention that his mutant brotherhood has tens of thousands of people. I am afraid that many people will believe what he said. After all, many mutants are at the same time. A fatal crisis is felt.

Under the seemingly calm lake in front of me, there are still undercurrents lurking one after another, and it might turn into a rough undercurrent at some point.

In the Hilton Hotel in Manhattan at night, Ling Xiao hung up the phone. Gan Jing would fly back to Los Angeles next week, and Ling Xiao would go back before then.

This summer, Gan Jing changed his ticket several times. She should have returned to Los Angeles a long time ago, but because of gang fights, Ling Xiao let Gan Jing fly directly to New York to meet him, but later because of Holly Robinson's troubles, coupled with his inadvertent involvement in the mutants' troubles, made Gan Jing postpone the flight back to the United States.

Of course, Ling Xiao didn't tell Gan Jing the truth, but asked her to help pick up Chang Kuan's sister, and the two flew back to Los Angeles together.

Holding the red wine, Ling Xiao stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, silently recalling the harvest of this trip to New York.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, Ling Xiao put down his wine glass, walked quickly to open the door, and it was Zhou Qian who appeared at the door, Ling Xiao was slightly taken aback.

"Why, don't you welcome me?" Zhou Qian raised her eyebrows and looked at Ling Xiao with a half-smile.

"No, please come in, please come in!" Ling Xiao hurriedly opened the door, let Zhou Qian who was pulling the suitcase come in, and said, "I remember I called Xu Liang, why did you come?" Is it you?"

When he left Flushing last time, Ling Xiao entrusted Xu Liang with his luggage, so after returning this time, he asked her to help deliver it, and at the same time planned to treat her to a meal to express his gratitude.

"Ah Liang has something to do at night, so please ask me to help deliver it." Zhou Qian handed the suitcase to Ling Xiao, and said at the same time: "Take a look, is there anything missing in it?"

"Don't look at it, I still can't trust you, this time I really troubled you, and let you take such a big risk." Ling Xiao shook his head lightly, with a sincere expression of gratitude.

"Nothing, as friends, this is what we should help. Also," Zhou Qian took out two stacks of US dollars from her small bag, threw them aside, and said with some displeasure, "This is the [-] US dollars you gave , it’s all here, as friends, we can help you, but you can’t insult us.”

"I didn't mean to insult you, this is just a little compensation from me." Ling Xiao's face was full of wry smiles.

"We would rather not have this kind of compensation." Zhou Qian said firmly.

"Well, I made a mistake in this matter, and I apologize to you." Ling Xiao reached out and put away the US dollars. He looked up at the clock hanging on the wall, turned around and said to Zhou Qian: "But as an apology And grateful, it's not too much for me to invite you to dinner, I've already booked the seat, you have to give me this face, otherwise I won't have the face to see you two in the future."

Zhou Qian stared at Ling Xiao for a while, and smiled bitterly: "I'll forgive you this time, and next time, let's see if we will pay you back. Why are you still standing there, why don't you hurry up and lead the way."

"Yes, this way please." Ling Xiao stretched out his hand to look like a gentleman, and respectfully invited Zhou Qian to go out for dinner. The girl rang the bell and walked outside.

The Hilton Hotel is located near the Hudson River. The top-floor restaurant here has an ultra-wide view of the bustling midtown Manhattan and the tranquility of Hudson. Here, you can enjoy the breathtaking view of the New York skyline.

Handmade tiles, imported solid wood flooring, carefully carved stoneware decoration, and a field-like hanging garden, sitting on the spacious and comfortable terrace sofa, tasting fine wine and food, adding a touch of coolness in the hot summer.

Zhou Qian shook her head, looked at Ling Xiao and said with some emotion: "The world of the rich is really hard to understand!"

"I'm not a rich person. I can't even afford a house in New York!" Ling Xiao smiled helplessly. The real estate in New York is ridiculously expensive, and Manhattan is even more expensive. It's good to buy a meal Don't even think about the apartment without millions of dollars.

"That's right, this is New York. Even the run-down apartment that Ah Liang and I are renting now costs 30 yuan, and it's even called Manhattan." Zhou Qian rolled her eyes at Ling Xiao, then looked around, and finally Getting closer, he lowered his voice and asked, "Has the previous matter been resolved?"

"It's been completely resolved, don't worry." Ling Xiao said with a smile: "I was worried that the matter would involve you, but after returning to New York, I saw that you were safe and sound, and I was completely relieved. We can safely return to Los Angeles."

"Are you going back to Los Angeles, are you waiting for your girlfriend?" Zhou Qian was slightly taken aback.

"When something like that happened, how dare I let her come to New York. She will fly directly to Los Angeles from China next week, and I will go back before then."

"Oh!" Zhou Qian lowered her head and stirred the juice in the glass, inadvertently, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.

While speaking, the waiter had already brought up the appetizers. Zhou Qian raised her head, glanced at Ling Xiao, saw that his eyes were looking at the beautiful scenery in the distance, and then said: "Ling, since the matter has been resolved , then why didn't you stay in the hotel over there in Flushing, but came to Manhattan instead."

Ling Xiao turned his head, looked at Zhou Qian, and explained in a low voice: "There was a reason for living in Flushing last time, and it caused you so much trouble afterwards, so I wanted to live in Manhattan first, so as not to worry about anything else. Accident, implicated you."

"Although I want to say that we are friends, we don't need to care about everything. But I can only represent myself, not Ah Liang. She is a good girl, and I don't want to see him get hurt, so thank you, Ling, thank you for standing up for me. For our sake." Zhou Qian looked at Ling Xiao with a smile on her face.

"What about yourself, Xiaoqian?" Ling Xiao looked at Zhou Qian playfully, there was something in this girl's words.

But before Zhou Qian could answer, the waiter at the side had already brought over the selected red wine. Ling Xiao nodded, and asked him to pour a glass for himself and Zhou Qian. The small glass of red wine reflected Zhou Qian's beauty His delicate face makes people intoxicated for a while.
