âThereâs an orchard here. You guys have done so much just now. You should want to relax, right?â
âThe Red Organization actually has an orchard? This is an eye-opener for me. Could it be an illusion?â Sikong Wuyuan said half-jokingly, but the coldness in his eyes was extremely obvious.
They had been tricked for half a day because of the illusion just now. He did not want to continue being tricked.
Wang Xiao understood the meaning behind Sikong Wuyuanâs words. He smiled and said, âOf course not. How could we attack our guests?â
âWho knows? Some people are liars.â
Yuan Hehe mocked and taunted Wang Xiao on purpose.
Unexpectedly, Wang Xiao did not care at all. Instead, he smiled and said, âYou still donât know my name, right? My name is Wang Xiao. You can just call me by my name.â
âAs guests, we should have such privileges. Thank you very much.â
Yuan Hehe continued to be rude.
He did not believe that Wang Xiao would not reveal something he could use against him.
However, Jiang Ming felt that Yuan Heheâs approach was not very good. He reminded him secretly, âIf he wants to attack us, he definitely wonât get angry just because youâre being rude. He might even become better at acting.
However, Iâm afraid that he will secretly target you. You have to be careful with what you say.â
âDonât worry too much. Besides, itâs good that heâs focusing on me. When the time comes, youâll be able to show off your skills.â
Yuan Hehe did not think much of it and became even more confident.
Jiang Ming slapped his forehead.
Yuan Hehe was still young and impetuous. He still had to suffer before he learned how to listen to others.
He would wait and see. Anyway, he would not let Yuan Hehe die.
âOh, Yuan Hehe, arenât you being too hostile toward me? Earlier, my clone was disobedient, so he wanted to kill you. Heâs very loyal to the Red Organization and doesnât like people from outside the organization.â
Wang Xiao tried to explain himself, but his excuse was rather weak. âCanât you give me a better reason?â Yuan Hehe grinned. âWho would believe you?â
âIs the boss of the Red Organization really that dumb?â Sikong Wuyuan laughed.
He wanted to agree with Wang Xiao, but he suddenly felt that it was better to forget it.
Since Yuan Hehe had already gone to rebuke him, there was no need for him to continue pretending.
Seeing that the two of them were getting more and more annoyed, Jiang Ming decided not to stop them, but he did not plan to follow them either.
Among the three of them, there had to be someone who seemed to be the peacemaker.
As they spoke, they had already arrived at the entrance of the palace where they were previously. However, Jiang Ming noticed that the walls had suddenly changed.
Unexpectedly, Wang Xiao suddenly stopped when he reached the door. He turned around and said, âI know that the three of you have a grudge against this palace. Therefore, I have decided to prepare a farewell banquet for you in the pavilion next door. Iâve already informed the servants. When the time comes, youâll see all kinds of people from the Red Organization. You can chat with them. Iâll be there too. If they have offended you, just tell me.â
âThank you very much.â
Yuan Hehe felt that Wang Xiao was being hypocritical and complained to Sikong Wuyuan in his heart.
âWang Xiao is really good at pretending. People who donât know better would think that he treats us very well.â
Sikong Wuyuan looked at Wang Xiao with disdain and said, âIsnât that so? Do you really think weâre all children?â
Wang Xiao noticed Sikong Wuyuan and Yuan Heheâs state, but he did not say anything. The smile in his eyes became even more obvious.
âl still have a meeting to attend later, so I wonât entertain you first. If you have anything to say, just tell my servant.â
As he spoke, he looked at the guard beside him. The guard quickly lowered his head and said, âPlease rest assured. I will definitely entertain the three of you.â
âIf you have nothing to say, just leave. We will be fine.â
Jiang Ming could not help but take note of the fact that Wang Xiao had mentioned a meeting.
Since he was going to a meeting, there might be topics that were targeted at them. They had to go and take a look.
Sikong Wuyuan had the same thoughts as Yuan Hehe and Jiang Ming.
The two of them quickly said to Jiang Ming, âThis is a good opportunity. If we miss it, it will be difficult to know Wang Xiaoâs goal.â
The two of them sounded a little anxious. It was obvious that they could not wait to go to Wang Xiaoâs meeting.
Jiang Ming understood what they were thinking. He comforted them. âDonât worry. Iâve put a wisp of spiritual energy on him. Weâll find an opportunity to attend the meeting later.â
As he spoke, he secretly snapped his fingers.
An invisible spiritual force had already stuck to Wang Xiaoâs body, but Wang Xiao still did not notice it.
Seeing that Jiang Ming had agreed and that Sikong Wuyuan and Yuan Hehe had no objections, he left.
âMy name is Zhang Xiaoni.â The guard cupped his fists and bowed to the three of them.
âZhang Xiaoni? Why did you choose a girlâs name?â
Yuan Hehe was dumbfounded. Looking at the tall and burly guard, he wondered if he had been wrong earlier.
Zhang Xiaoni smiled.
âSpeaking of this name, thereâs a palace maid among us called Gao Yi. Her name means âTall.â But sheâs petite and beautiful. She doesnât look like someone with this name. Itâs better not to judge people based on their names.â
Jiang Ming did not say anything. He kept looking at Zhang Xiaoni and could not help but feel strange.
He was just a servant, but he was a little too friendly. He did not have the self-awareness of a servant at all.
He would never believe that he was really a servant. He was afraid that Wang Xiao had sent him to monitor them.
âYouâre right, but with your personality, you donât seem to be suitable to be a servant,â Yuan Hehe said with a faint smile. âBut Iâm hungry now. You can serve me the pastries and everything else.â
He rubbed his stomach. He had been walking for a long time and was exhausted. His entire body was swaying.
If he did not eat something now, he would die.
Sensing Yuan Heheâs condition, Jiang Ming placed his hand on his forehead and asked with concern, âAre you really just hungry? Are you feeling sick?â
Yuan Hehe felt warm in his heart when he saw his concern. He shook his head and said, âNo, Iâm really just hungry.â
âWhatâs the big deal?â Zhang Xiaoni smiled apologetically. âIâll get someone to bring pastries and all kinds of snacks immediately. Letâs go to the small pavilion first. Please rest assured. Even if something happens to Yuan Hehe, we can help him. We servants are all skilled in medicine..â
