The merit system of the city

"What do you mean?"

Xu Lai looked at Betty, frowning.

"I'm sure you'll understand."

As he spoke, he suddenly grabbed Xiang Xinyu and Song Yansi.

Xu Lai followed suit.

But still too late.

I saw a six-pointed star array lit up under Betty's feet.

Accompanied by strange power, Betty, Xiang Xinyu and Song Yansi disappeared at the same time.

Xu Lai grabbed the empty hand.

"Where did they go?"

Song Ningbing watched Song Yansi disappear and asked quickly.

"do not know."

Xu Lai said weakly.

At this time, he found himself so incompetent.

There was no way to protect them.

He was clearly right in front of him, but he watched Song Yansi being taken away.

Seeing the confusion in Xu Lai's eyes.

On the contrary, Song Ningbing, who had experienced more suffering, was the first to wake up.

"Brother Xu, don't be discouraged, the other party may want to do this, to blow your heart and let people taste the feeling of failure."

Xu Lai's heart moved, and after thinking about it, it was indeed so.

The Scarlet Cross not only wants to take revenge on itself, but may also want to constantly let himself taste the pain.

All of this is intentionally designed.

"Thank you, Ning Bing!"

Xu Lai looked at Song Ningbing and said.

Song Ningbing's pretty face flushed slightly, and she said sadly: "We still need to find out where they went as soon as possible."

Xu Lai blinked and said, "I probably know where it is."

He took out his mobile phone and immediately called Chen Tianqiao.

Without the slightest exchange of pleasantries, he said directly: "I want to know the exact location of Scarlet Cross' headquarters, do you have it?"

It was the first time Chen Tianqiao heard Xu Lai speak in such a solemn tone.

Without asking why, he said directly: "We don't know the exact location yet."

"You don't know either?"

Xu Lai frowned.

"Yes, don't underestimate the Scarlet Cross. It must be extraordinary that the other party has been established for more than 100 years."

"That would be troublesome."

"Xu Lai, what happened?"

"The people from Scarlet Cross captured Yan Si and my friend Xiang Xinyu."

Song Yansi knew Chen Tianqiao, but she didn't know Xiang Xinyu.

But from Xu Lai's tone, she also knew that this must be Xu Lai's good friend.

"Well, although I don't know, my old man must know."

"You mean the Patriarch of the Chen family?"

"Yes."

Chen Tianqiao said.

"Are you sure?"

Xu Lai was a little skeptical.

"Don't worry, in fact, many big families have dealt with the Scarlet Cross. This world is much more complicated than you imagined."

Chen Tianqiao told Xu Lai.

"But didn't you cut off contact with the Chen family?"

Before Chen Tianqiao left the Chen family, Wu Chaoyu told him.

"It's just a matter of fact, it won't have much impact, just wait for my news, at most one day."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Tianqiao came out immediately.

"Get ready, I'm going to Kyoto right away."

As the leader of the special operations team, she is qualified to mobilize some military aircraft.

Soon, an idiosyncratic aircraft is ready.

In less than half an hour, Chen Tianqiao had already taken off at the same time as the plane, heading for Kyoto.

Xu Lai was not idle either.

He quickly returned to the villa.

Seeing that Song Ningbing was relatively calm.

He opened the door and went back to the room.

Then consciousness enters the system.

He said to the system: "I need to exchange for something that can improve my cultivation as soon as possible."

[Yes, but because the items inside are not in the same world as you, the effect may not be as good as expected. 】

"What do you mean?"

[Because this type of item is not from this world, it is only useful for a short time. 】

[For example, if you exchange some elixir now, after taking it, it will only be effective for a short time. 】

"Isn't that similar to the previous talisman?"

【Yes. 】

"In that case, let's talk about it later."

Xu Lai did not expect such restrictions.

"Sure enough, you still have to practice step by step by yourself."

Originally, he even wanted to exchange enough things through the system to directly break through the foundation building realm.

Now it seems that it is impossible.

He picked up his phone and checked the time.

It was only an hour and a half since I called Chen Tianqiao.

He was a little anxious, but he knew that it was not easy to rush at this time.

Gradually, the time has come to midnight.

Xu took a look at Song Ningbing.

Song Ningbing seemed to be immersed in cultivation.

At this moment, Xu Lai suddenly found that Song Ningbing's whole body was shocked!

Her aura rose rapidly.

Actually broke through!

Song Ningbing opened her eyes.

There was surprise in her beautiful eyes, but not much joy.

"Brother Xu, is there any news from Sister Chen?"

She didn't seem to care about the breakthrough just now.

What he cared about was the news from Chen Tianqiao.

At this time, Chen Tianqiao also returned to the capital.

Kyoto.

In a seemingly inconspicuous courtyard.

Although this courtyard is inconspicuous.

But many people know that this is the famous Chen family.

This ancient family, which has been passed down for at least hundreds of years, is located here.

"I want to see the old man."

Chen Tianqiao came to Chen's house and got straight to the point.

"Hmph! Chen Tianqiao, you still know that you are coming back. This is not your home. You are not qualified to see the old man! Get lost!"

The person who spoke was a middle-aged woman who was already in her 50s, but she was well maintained and looked only in her thirties.

If you put on some makeup, you can look like you are in your 20s.

This woman is also Chen Tianqiao's stepmother.

The reason why she left that year was not only related to the rumor of the 'bad star'.

Another thing is because of this stepmother.

Just when the woman speaks loudly.

A man came over.

The man looked somewhat similar to Chen Tianqiao.

However, he was holding a birdcage in his hand, and most of his attention was on the birdcage.

At this time, he moved his gaze away from the birdcage.

Seeing Chen Tianqiao, he was a little surprised.

"Qiaoer, I didn't expect you to come back."

he laughed.

"Yes, I have something to see the old man."

The man nodded, "Go, the old man already knows, let me come out and call you."

After speaking, he continued to look at the birdcage.

As if that was his world.

Chen Tianqiao's eyes were reddish, she stopped talking, and walked into the courtyard with her head held high.

The man glanced at Chen Tianqiao's back and sighed.

"Hmph! This Death Star doesn't know what to do when he comes back!"

The woman walked to the side of the man and cursed in a low voice.

"Okay, it's been so many years, why are you talking about this?"

The man, Chen Tianqiao's father, frowned.

"There's nothing to say, it's not me who said it, it's Zhai Xinglou who said it!"

The woman said loudly.

Chen Tianqiao's father opened his mouth, but finally remained silent.

Attention fell to the birdcage in front of him again.
