Chapter 65 Families of The Way of the Extraordinary

Wang Tai brother? Him?

Li Dongze almost instinctively wanted to remind Miss Xie of the Xie family that the person whose sleeve she was holding was not Wang Tai; the real Wang Tai was standing beside them. How could she mistake someone like that?

It would be too embarrassing... But then, Li Dongze's expression froze. He realized that he was the one who hadn't understood the situation.

Miss Xie of the Xie family was heading straight for Yuanshi. She hadn't even glanced at the others in Team Two. Her target was crystal clear. There was no possibility of mistaking the person.

So, why did she say she wanted to see Wang Tai?

Guan Ya's teasing smile instantly froze on her face. She looked at Yuanshi, then at Xie Lingxi, and the expression gradually faded from her charming oval face.

Only Wang Tai quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"What are you doing in Songhai? And you want our Wang Tai to receive you?"

Zhang Yuanqing, who was 1.8 meters tall, looked down at the little green tea's head. Her legs looked long, but she was actually a little shrimp.

"I said I was looking for you~"

Xie Lingxi hopped on the spot, saying happily.

As expected of a young girl, she was light and graceful, unlike fat women like Guan Ya, who would lose their balance if they jumped.

"What's so good about looking for me? I told you, let's not contact each other," Zhang Yuanqing said with some dissatisfaction.

Xie Lingxi pouted her little mouth, on the verge of tears, and said aggrievedly:

"Why are you like this? You weren't like this to me last time. You were so caring and protective of me, and you even took my precious thing away. Now you're turning your back on me."

Li Dongze, Guan Ya, and Wang Tai scrutinized Zhang Yuanqing with suspicion.

If it were Wang Tai, facing such a green tea girl, his brain would probably crash on the spot. A normal person would also be embarrassed, restrained, and act timidly.

But Zhang Yuanqing was different. He was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed loudly, put his arm around Xie Lingxi's small waist, and said:

"Squad Leader, she's willing, don't arrest me."

Xie Lingxi was stunned. She only felt a burning and powerful hand on her small waist. A tingling chill ran through her heart, and her face instantly turned red. She jumped back like a startled rabbit.

"You, you..." She couldn't speak for a moment, staring at Zhang Yuanqing with her watery eyes.

Seeing this scene, Li Dongze and Guan Ya, as scouts, looked thoughtful.

Resolving Xie Lingxi's shenanigans, Zhang Yuanqing then explained:

"I met her while playing games last night."

Li Dongze suddenly understood. He instantly remembered Zhang Yuanqing impersonating Wang Tai. If Miss Xie of the Xie family also entered Jinshui Amusement Park that night, then the current situation would be explained.

The person she was looking for was not Wang Tai.

At this moment, the real Wang Tai glanced at the squad leader and said:

"Since you're not looking for me, can I leave? Squad Leader, I still have research to do."

Xie Lingxi finally noticed him. Hearing this, she was a little puzzled. This ordinary-looking man didn't seem disappointed at all, nor did he have any displeasure or unwillingness.

Instead, there was a hint of relief and happiness?

Xie Lingxi rolled her eyes and put on a gentle and weak posture, saying in a soft voice:

"You must be the real Wang Tai brother, right? It's nice to meet you. Please don't be angry. I was deceived by Yuanshi brother and mistakenly thought you were him."

Wang Tai replied with a serious expression: "I'm not angry, I'm even a little happy."

Xie Lingxi: "???"

Li Dongze coughed and said, "Okay, let the driver send you back first."

Wang Tai didn't like socializing. There was no point in forcing him to stay.

After Wang Tai left, Xie Lingxi led the three to their seats and instructed the waiter to prepare the dishes.

During the meal, she called them sister and brother, one after another. Her pure and sweet appearance and soft voice made Li Dongze and Guan Ya feel a strong sense of goodwill towards her.

"Yuanshi brother, do you belong to the White Tiger Army or another organization?"

"White Tiger Army. I like White Tiger."

"Mm-hmm, I heard from the ancestor that the White Tiger Army is the most disciplined. Although there are many rules and they sometimes seem rigid, they are the most reliable in the Five Elements Alliance."

"Are you deliberately flattering us with these words?"

"How could I? Yuanshi brother always judges people with malice." Xie Lingxi glared at him and continued to chat: "Apart from the White Tiger Army, the purest is the Red Fire Gang, but the ancestor doesn't like the people of the Red Fire Gang. He thinks they are too crude and too fiery. Yuanshi brother, do you know what the emblem of the Red Fire Gang was before the Five Elements Alliance was formed?"

"I don't know."

"It's a Minotaur, oh."

"What?"

"The Red Fire Gang calls itself the descendants of Emperor Yan. Emperor Yan is Shennong, with the head of a bull and the body of a human. I heard that before the Five Elements Alliance was formed, the people of the four major organizations often used this to tease the Red Fire Gang. The best way to anger a Fire Master is to shout in his face: Minotaur must die."

Li Dongze coughed violently, looked at Zhang Yuanqing, and solemnly reminded him:

"Miss Xie is joking. There's no need to mention old history. Don't say such things randomly."

"What will happen if I say it randomly?" Zhang Yuanqing asked.

"You'll get beaten to death."

Then what would happen if I changed it to "Pure Love Warrior arrives uninvited"... Zhang Yuanqing took a bite of the tender stir-fried beef and took the opportunity to ask a question that had puzzled him for a long time:

"I remember that character cards are issued randomly. Why are there families of The Way of the Extraordinary?"

Xie Lingxi sipped her freshly squeezed coconut juice, tilted her head, and said sweetly:

"Yuanshi brother, have you ever heard of the saying 'occupational habits'? Different occupations have different habits. For example, Fire Masters are usually irritable, impulsive, and reckless."

Zhang Yuanqing nodded.

Xie Lingxi smiled and said:

"Character cards choose people. People with irritable personalities have the highest probability of getting the Fire Master character card. People with gloomy personalities have a higher probability of getting the Water Ghost character card. And those evil criminals get evil professions.

"Then, the profession also affects the personality. Irritable people become more irritable, and gloomy people become more gloomy. Do you think the probability of a child born to two Fire Masters being irritable is high? Over time, families gradually form.

"But even so, not everyone in a family of The Way of the Extraordinary can get a character card."

Zhang Yuanqing suddenly understood. He thought to himself, then why did I get the Night Wanderer character card?

What are the characteristics of the Night Wanderer profession? Evil and noble?

The dinner ended quickly. The four of them ate quite happily and had a pleasant conversation.

Li Dongze appropriately bid farewell, but Xie Lingxi grabbed Zhang Yuanqing's arm and said娇滴滴:

"Squad Leader Li, lend him to me for a while. I'll have someone send him back later."

Seeing Li Dongze hesitate, she quickly put her hands together and looked pleading.

Who could refuse such a young girl? Li Dongze nodded slightly: "Don't trouble Miss Xie. I'll have the driver wait downstairs at the hotel. Yuanshi, remember to call me when you're done."

Zhang Yunqing nodded, watching Guan Ya and Li Dongze leave.

Until their figures disappeared at the entrance of the revolving lobby, Xie Lingxi wrinkled her nose and哼哼:

"With such big breasts and such round buttocks, she's obviously a flirtatious woman who specializes in seducing men!"

......

In the elevator car, Guan Ya chuckled:

"Not very old, but quite cunning. Are the green tea flavor of young girls so strong these days?"

In front of scouts, any disguise is futile.

Li Dongze leaned on his cane, stroking his small mustache: "She's a little hostile to you, and seems to have a good impression of Yuanshi. Also, she seems to have something to ask of Yuanshi, and deliberately got rid of us."

During the dinner, the young girl kept praising Guan Ya's beauty and good figure, and said with an admiring look: Sister Guan Ya is so beautiful, you must have had many boyfriends.

Guan Ya rolled her eyes:

"She can't outsmart Yuanshi. When it comes to cunning, Yuanshi is much more profound than her."

Guan Ya had been in Zhang Yuanqing's room and checked his computer. Under this kid's optimistic appearance was a lonely heart.

But with her ability as a scout, if she hadn't checked these private information, she wouldn't have been able to see it from the outside at all.

And Xie Lingxi, she could see the inner essence at a glance.

There was a gap between the two in terms of skill level.

........

You were very affectionate and obedient when you called Guan Ya sister just now.

Zhang Yuanqing stopped pretending and frowned:

"What are you doing in Songhai? You didn't come here specifically to find me, right."

Xie Lingxi stuck out her tongue and said playfully: "I came to Songhai to visit an old friend on behalf of my family. Yuanshi brother, have you heard of the Killing Palace?"

Killing Palace? The Killing Palace full of lunatics? Zhang Yuanqing嗯said, "Of course I know."

"The family of the palace master and the Xie family were friends for generations. Later, due to a mishap, that family declined, and the two families lost contact." Xie Lingxi said with emotion:

"Who knew that the Killing Palace Master has risen strongly in recent years and become a high-level The Way of the Extraordinary, and reconnected with the Xie family."

If I remember correctly, the Killing Palace has high-level props for the Musician profession, and many of the members of the organization are also Musicians, and the Xie family is also a family of Musicians. Zhang Yuanqing suddenly understood.

Xie Lingxi嘿嘿said: "I have another thing to do in Songhai, but I have to get Yuanshi brother's consent first."

"What is it?"

"Before he died, Didn’t Live Up to Father entrusted you to pass a message to a friend?" Xie Lingxi said timidly, "Can you let me go too?"

"What's the reason?"

"I don't want to owe people favors. The reason he didn't tell me is because he suspected that I came from the government, but the reality is that you are the government personnel." Xie Lingxi pursed her lips.

"So you want to stare at me." Zhang Yuanqing squinted at her:

"You actually knew that I was Yuanshi Tianzun a long time ago. You wanted to meet the people of Team Two with great fanfare and asked me to receive you because you were afraid that I would refuse if you asked me privately. You wanted to give me a reason that I couldn't refuse."

It was obvious that Didn’t Live Up to Father was afraid of the government. He couldn't let members of the government organization do the things he entrusted before his death, but he didn't know that Yuanshi Tianzun was a member of the Five Elements Alliance.

He might be inviting a wolf into the house.

......Xie Lingxi's thoughts were exposed, and she looked admiring: "Yuanshi brother is really amazing."
