Outlaw

Dead silence!

The nine masters who attacked Xiao Beichen all stared at Xiao Beichen and Jade Buddha with their eyes wide open in disbelief!

What's the situation?

Why does Jade Buddha care so much about Xiao Beichen?

But this is the Jade Pagoda.

The absolute number one master in Weiming City!

Even Sora is full of fear of Jade Buddha Temple!

Even the flower fairy standing beside Xiao Beichen was a little confused.

She looked at Xiao Beichen, then at the Jade Buddha Temple...she was speechless.

She couldn't understand how such an awesome woman could stand up and speak for Xiao Beichen!

Xiao Beichen seemed to have expected this result and was not surprised at all. He even smiled at Jade Buddha and said, "If you come later, something will happen."

Ah!

Jade Buddha smiled lightly: "The Northern Emperor is humble."

His voice is not loud, but he is approachable and respects Xiao Beichen.

Kong Mingming could not accept this result, and immediately said: "Jade Buddha, this person defiled the young palace master of the West Water Palace. If our Weiming City does not punish this person, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to the West Water Palace."

Jade Buddha turned to look at Kong, smiled slightly and said: "Then how do you want to punish me?"

Kong said: "The worst case is to behead him and send his head to Xishui Palace; the light case is to depose the cultivator, remove him from his post, and ask him to hand over the ancient bronze coffin."

Jade Buddha is not angry, but still smiles: "Song, don't you want me to make things clear?"

Sora was a little panicked, but he still managed to say: "I don't understand."

Still pretending to be confused?

Jade Buddha did not get angry and said coolly: "I am an old acquaintance with the Palace Master of Xishui Palace. I just need a phone call. Tell her that it was you and Gu Qianren who designed it, and Ximen Yu gave it to Hua Xizi Drugged. Do you think you can survive?"

hiss!

Kong immediately lowered his head, his body was trembling, and he did not dare to say any more.

The other eight masters who followed Kong also lowered their heads.

"Don't think I don't know about your little thoughts." Jade Buddha snorted: "Let's leave it at that tonight. If anyone dares to do something to Xiao Beichen, then go see the Buddha."

The voice was not loud, but it was like scolding a student. Everyone was scolded and stunned.

Then, Jade Buddha turned to look at Xiao Beichen: "Go back and tidy up and dress up. Let's talk about it when you get back to my room."

After saying that, Jade Buddha turned around and left.

Wu Yuyan gave Xiao Beichen a smile and followed.

Tantai Wen Lingxi exchanged greetings with Xiao Beichen and left after making sure Xiao Beichen was fine. I saw her catching up with Jade Buddha, and the two of them had a friendly conversation...

Although the nine masters stayed, no one dared to attack Xiao Beichen anymore.

"Hmph! Xiao Beichen, you are lucky today!" Gu Qianren snorted coldly, turned around and left.

Kong nodded secretly; "Xiao Beichen, you are so resourceful. You have just defiled the Flower Fairy, and now you are attracted to the woman Jade Buddha. Your popularity with women is very good, but don't support Jade Buddha, then you can sit back and relax!" We’ll see.”

The crowd dispersed, leaving only Xiao Beichen and Hua Xizi.

Whoohoo!

Hua Xizi sat on the stone, breathing heavily.

Thinking back to the life-and-death situation just now, I still feel scared.

Due to the continuous battles, Hua Xizi was already sweating profusely, and the thin silk nightgown had long been soaked with sweat. At this moment, it clung to her skin tightly, almost as if she was not wearing anything at all.

However, she obviously had no intention of paying attention to this, but stared at Xiao Beichen: "Have you already arranged a backup plan?"

Xiao Beichen turned his head and unconsciously saw the spring light on her body. He casually took out a men's suit jacket from the ring space and put it on her body, "Yes."

Hua Xizi was a little angry: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? It made me think that I was really going to be killed by you."

Xiao Beichen coughed twice, sat down next to Hua Xizi, took out a pack of cigarettes from the Najie space, lit one and started smoking.

When you are emotional, a cigarette can suppress your emotions very well.

It stands to reason that for a person of Xiao Beichen's level, it would be unseemly to smoke.

But the old habits remain.

Take a deep breath.

Sure enough, I felt much calmer.

"The situation was urgent and I didn't have time to explain much to you."

Hua Xizi held back and asked, "What's going on?"

Xiao Beichen did not hide anything and explained slowly: "I came to Weiming City last time and almost died here. Now that I am here again, I am meeting you privately late at night. How can I not leave a backup plan?"

This is the truth.

The last time he took the Chaos Scripture by force, he was almost killed by Kong.

Now that he came to Weiming City again to seek employment, if Xiao Beichen didn't make any preparations. What's the difference between that and Shabi?

Hua Xizi said reluctantly: "What's the back-up plan?"

Xiao Beichen took a deep breath of cigarette: "Before, the four guardians of Kong sneaked into the Tiansi Temple and were killed while trying to steal the ancient bronze coffin. I knew that Kong had already started to take action. I saw Kong and Jade Buddha in the conference room today. I Then I knew that Sora would not let me go out alone. I told my friends that once there is a battle in your residence, immediately go to Jade Buddha Temple for help."

Hua Xizi: "Do you know Jade Buddha Temple?"

Xiao Beichen shook his head: "I don't know him."

Hua Xizi: "Then why do you think she will help you?"

Xiao Beichen: "I have an ancient bronze coffin."

Suddenly, Hua Xizi realized something. Her beautiful eyes flickered, and she felt that the young man in front of her became more and more pleasing to her eyes: "Not bad. You are quite smart."

Xiao Beichen shrugged: "What are you talking about? Do you really think I'm a reckless man?"

Ha ha!

Hua Xizi pursed her lips and smiled: "It's not bad."

Soon, her mood sank, and her eyes flashed with anger: "But you tricked me! You tricked me to death, you know? How can you make such nonsense about something that clearly didn't happen?!"

Xiao Beichen raised his right hand and flicked his fingertips.

The Heaven Mending Technique is activated.

A scene appeared in front of the two of them - Hua Xizi was tearing off her own clothes, while throwing herself into Xiao Beichen's arms to untie Xiao Beichen's trousers, muttering in her mouth: Don't leave, you'll kill me.

Swish!

Hua Xizi's face suddenly turned red: "Take it away quickly. I don't want to see this dirty scene."

Xiao Beichen: "Watch carefully, am I talking nonsense?"

Hua Xizi: "The woman above is not me! I can't be so shameless."

Xiao Beichen: "..."

Hua Xizi: "Even so, you can't publicly say such unfounded things. Do you know how much impact this will have on me?"

In desperation, Xiao Beichen had no choice but to put away the screen and said seriously: "I don't want to trick you, but otherwise, I won't be able to support the arrival of the Jade Buddha Temple by myself. Because, they arrived sooner than I expected. It’ll be later.”

Hua Xizi snorted heavily: "Selfish!"

Afterwards, Hua Xizi stood up and left: "Remember what you promised me. You must go to Xishui Palace with me and explain it clearly to the elders of Xishui Palace. Use memory pictures, okay?"

Xiao Beichen reluctantly agreed.

In this matter, I am indeed at fault.

There is nothing to explain.

At this time, Hua Xizi, who was walking far away, suddenly stopped and turned around and called Xiao Beichen's name.

Xiao Beichen raised his head: "What are you doing?"

Hua Xizi: "You didn't think about doing anything to me at that time?"

Xiao Beichen replied firmly: "No."

"Worse than a beast!" Hua Xizi dropped these four words and walked away without looking back.

Forehead?

What do you mean?

Xiao Beichen was a little confused.

I didn't kill you, shouldn't you express your gratitude? And say something like "I'm a good person"?

Why did he become worse than a beast?

Damn!

unacceptable.

Xiao Beichen pinched out the cigarette butt and left angrily.

……

It was late at night when we returned to our residence.

Tantai Wen Lingxi stood at the gate, facing the frost and dew.

Seeing Xiao Beichen returning, she took the initiative to hold Xiao Beichen's arm: "You are back. Are you not injured?"

Xiao Beichen felt a warmth emerge in his heart: "It's okay, nothing serious."

"It's cold outside, come in and make a fire." Tantai Wen Lingxi dragged Xiao Beichen into the room, made him tea and lit the stove, and took the initiative to check on Xiao Beichen's injuries. Finding that there was nothing wrong with Xiao Beichen's health, he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay. If I had been a moment later, something big would have happened."

Xiao Beichen saw all this in his eyes and felt indescribable warmth in his heart: "How was your chat with Jade Buddha?"

Tantai Wen Lingxi said: "Jade Buddha is an old friend of mine and is very polite to me. I have laid the prelude to the ancient bronze coffin. Next, you need to go and negotiate with her in person."

Xiao Beichen nodded.

This is also an unavoidable compromise.

The negotiation with Jade Buddha is related to the ownership of the ancient bronze coffin and the future of the Nine Dragons Alliance.

It is vital.

Xiao Beichen picked up the hot teacup and held it tightly in his hand, feeling the heat from the teacup: "Senior sister, what kind of person do you think Jade Buddha is?"

Tantai Wen Lingxi said: "My strength is unimaginable, and my mind is unpredictable. Even if I have a celestial eye, I can't see through it. You have to be extremely careful when communicating with this person. But I feel that as long as you don't offend her, she should I won’t kill you.”

Tantai Wen Lingxi's high evaluation made Xiao Beichen feel a lot of pressure.

Gollum!

Xiao Beichen took a sip of tea and stood up slowly: "Thank you, senior sister, for opening the prelude for me. I'll go wash up and then set off."

Back in the room, Xiao Beichen took a comfortable bath and then put on clean clothes.

He also dressed up carefully before going out.

But before setting off, he went to the empress's room.

The empress was still sitting cross-legged on the couch in the room as usual.

Her long hair was flowing and her complexion was pale.

The upright sitting posture made the already tight red cheongsam even tighter. The curves are clearly revealed and are unparalleled in the world.

Xiao Beichen could tell that she looked very bad and her breath was very weak.

Sitting cross-legged in retreat is nothing more than fighting against the powerful backlash of the Witch God's blood.

It's not easy for her.

Xiao Beichen did not interrupt, but gently lit a stove next to her, then made a pot of hot tea and placed it on the corner table next to her.

He cupped his hands slightly and saluted silently.

Turn around and go.

When he was about to leave the door, the empress' voice came from behind him.

"Xiao Bei, the Jade Buddha Temple is trustworthy."

hum!

Xiao Beichen's brain was a little short of oxygen.

The empress really just doesn't speak, but speaking is the key.

Go straight to the biggest doubt deep in Xiao Beichen's soul.

The biggest problem when negotiating with Jade Buddha this time is trust.

Everyone in the world knows that Xiao Beichen's words are true to his word and can be trusted.

Then, whether the Jade Buddha Temple is trustworthy or not... has become the most critical question.

The empress put it bluntly.

Awesome!

Xiao Beichen turned around and was about to say a few words. But he found that the empress had closed her eyes again and was immersed in sitting cross-legged.

Seeing her stubborn but haggard and weak look, Xiao Beichen's heart ached like a knife. Not wanting to be disturbed, I closed the door behind me.

……

Jade Buddha Residence.

In another courtyard far away.

Lieutenant General Honglian and General Hengha were guarding the door.

They say they are guarding the gate, but in fact, everyone around them is fighting with landlords.

The chips are some kind of special seafaring elixir.

Heng Haer, these two idiots, on the surface, look very naive and easy to deceive. How could he be Guren's opponent?

The pants of these two idiots are all gone.

The big man hummed, with an aggrieved look on his face: "Vice-deputy, you are so bullying. Can you put some water on it?"

General Ha quickly echoed: "That's right. What's the point of winning all the time? Even if you pretend, you have to pretend to lose a few times. Otherwise, we will lose motivation and not want to play."

Honglian glanced at the two people and said, "Okay, I'll release the water next time."

The second general Heng Ha immediately became energetic and started the next move with full confidence.

As a result, I lost.

The second general Heng Ha was unhappy.

"I'll go, regimental officer, you're going too far. Where's the promised release?"

"Where's the promised release of water?"

Hong Lian happily accepted the remaining elixirs on the table between the two of them: "I let it go. You are too good at it."

General Heng: "You're scolding me. If I play cards with the deputy again, I'll dig out my kidneys."

General Ha: "I'll chop it up!"

Guren laughed heartily, grinning from ear to ear.

Compared with the joyful scene outside the yard, the atmosphere in the yard is more solemn.

In the pavilion, Jade Buddha sat in the chief position.

Wu Yuyan lit the stove nearby and made tea for Jade Buddha. The two of them chatted while warming themselves by the fire.

Winter in Weiming City is extremely cold.

Wu Yuyan couldn't help but ask: "Master Yufutu, do you know that cloaked woman?"

Jade Buddha Temple: "I don't know her, but I've heard of it. She is a direct descendant of the Tantai clan in Tiangongtai."

Wu Yuyan was surprised: "The Tantai clan in Tiangongtai...wasn't it destroyed two thousand years ago? How come there are still people from the Tantai clan..."

Jade Buddha Tu said: "So I am also very surprised. People from the Tantai clan are too rare, and their bloodline genes and Taoist inheritance are rare in the world. After all, they are the first and only expedition team to enter the end of the world in ancient times. In the world. , and only people from the Tantai clan can do this. Back then, it was because of the shocking secret that was revealed when Tiangongtai was destroyed, that the vigorous global adventure started."

Wu Yuyan sighed with emotion: "It has been two thousand years since Tiangongtai was destroyed. Now is the era of the Three Emperors. Even if the Tantai clan is still alive in the world, it will be difficult to cause any big waves, right?"

Jade Buddha said softly: "Maybe. According to my understanding, the Tantai clan has been trying to restart Tiangongtai over the years, but they have been unable to find a suitable agent, so many things have been left unfinished. This time Wen Lingxi entered It has been more than a year since Daxia. Her purpose is also to find an agent for Tiangongtai."

Wu Yuyan said: "You mean, Xiao Beichen is the agent that the Tantai family found?"

Jade Buddha Tu said: "Tantai Wen Lingxi is not the only one who exists in the world. They are all looking for agents all over the world. To be precise, Xiao Beichen is just one of the agents that the Tantai family has found. Tiangongtai will eventually be restarted It is unknown which agent the task will fall on."

Wu Yuyan was very surprised after hearing this: "So, Xiao Beichen is just one of the many alternative agents that the Tantai clan is looking for. Whether he can finally stand out and represent the Tantai clan in restarting Tiangongtai will still have to compete with each other."

Jade Buddha nodded: "That should be the case. The competition within the Tantai clan is very fierce. It's beyond people's imagination."

"I see." Wu Yuyan said: "No wonder Tantai Wen Lingxi helps Xiao Beichen so much. It turns out that she wants him to become the final agent and restart Tiangongtai."

Jade Buddha chuckled and said nothing.

Wu Yuyan continued to ask: "So, will you agree to the cooperation that Tantai Wen Lingxi has discussed with you this time?"

Jade Buddha Tu said: "I won't exclude you, but I won't take the initiative to cooperate. Everything depends on Xiao Beichen's attitude."

Wu Yuyan was surprised: "It seems that you have a high opinion of Xiao Beichen and Tantai Wen Lingxi. Let's see how Xiao Beichen performs next."

Just then—

Click!

The courtyard door was pushed open.

Xiao Beichen walked in from outside.

Wu Yuyan immediately walked up with a charming smile, and took the initiative to hold Xiao Beichen's arm: "Xiao Beihuang, you are here. Let us wait for a while. Come in and warm up by the fire."

Xiao Beichen was not used to facing such enthusiastic Wu Yuyan.

We haven’t gotten to know each other that well yet, right?

He took the initiative to withdraw his hand. Then he followed into the pavilion.

take a seat.

Wu Yuyan took the initiative to serve Xiao Beichen a cup of tea: "Master Yufutu has been waiting for you here for a long time. You also know that he usually retreats in an unknown place and rarely comes out. Most people can't see you. This time is for you. Come forward and make an exception.”

The voice is not loud and sounds a bit pretentious.

But Xiao Beichen knew that they were not pretending.

The Jade Buddha Temple is indeed like this.

Xiao Beichen said softly: "Thank you very much, Jade Buddha, for coming out tonight and rescuing me."

Wu Yuyan snorted: "You still have a conscience."

"Let's get straight to the point." Jade Buddha Tu said, "I'm not helping you in vain."

Xiao Beichen said: "I know you are here for the ancient bronze coffin."

Jade Buddha nodded: "That's right. Let's talk about it then."

Xiao Beichen thought about it seriously: "What do you think?"

Jade Buddha said calmly: "I want to hear your thoughts."

Others may be polite at this time, but in fact there is a flash of sword and undercurrent behind every word.

Xiao Beichen was under great pressure.

My forehead was sweating.

He was thinking of words.

Wu Yuyan came out to mediate the atmosphere at this time: "Xiao Beichen, Mr. Yufutu is a frank person. He also likes to make friends with frank people. If you have any ideas in your mind, just say it directly. As long as it is a reasonable plan, I think Yufutu Adults will understand."

Xiao Beichen said solemnly: "If you ask me to give you the ancient bronze coffin directly, I naturally don't want to."

Ok?

Jade Buddha frowned, and a cold light surged in his eyes: "You... want to cooperate with me?"

Xiao Beichen met the other party's intimidating gaze: "Yes."

Jade Buddha's eyes became colder, with a strong murderous intent: "So...how do you want to cooperate?"
