798. Becoming Guards (2)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
Mo Fei refused last time. If it was so easy to detoxify, it would not be worthy to be called the top ten poisons.
Besides, there were many other factors that had solved the cold poison last time, and he was not sure whether he could succeed again. Besides, the young man’s father was from a renowned family, he had been poisoned suddenly, there might be some hidden things involved, so Mo Fei didn’t plan to get involved.
The most important thing was that the duke seemed to be poor now. To solve the poison, it needed a lot of money. So Mo Fei might even have to subsidize him.
Mo Fei then briefed the whole story to Lou Yu.
Lou Yu frowned, “Is it possible this guy has recognized who you are?”
Mo Fei wore a composed face, “Very possible.” The young man should have recognized his ident.i.ty, but just didn’t expose him, apparently he was scrupling about something.
Lou Yu frowned, having no idea where the problem was.
“Stone(s.h.i.+ Quan’s surname s.h.i.+ means stone in English), what are you looking at?” Feng Xi looked at s.h.i.+ Quan, head tilted.
s.h.i.+ Quan smiled, “Nothing, I just saw that those two people look dependable, so I was thinking if we could hire them as the guards.”
Feng Xi blinked, “Those two guys are only at human cla.s.s, nothing special. I’m afraid it’s no use to hire them.”
s.h.i.+ Quan smiled, “That is not a problem, as long as they have good personalities. Given my present situation, I can’t afford those with big abilities.”
Feng Xi’s eyes flashed some kind of strange color, “You think these two guys are good people?”
s.h.i.+ Quan nodded solemnly, “Yes!”
Feng Xi tilted her head, looking at s.h.i.+ Quan with confusion, “How do you know?”
s.h.i.+ Quan bit his lip, “Through their appearances.”
Feng Xi twitched his mouth, saying disapprovingly, “Really? But I have different opinion.”
s.h.i.+ Quan lowered her head, “I think they look honest.”
Feng Xi looked at the appearance of s.h.i.+ Quan, suddenly stood up and walked toward Mo Fei and Lou Yu.
s.h.i.+ Quan hurriedly followed behind, “What do you want?”
Feng Xi scornfully glanced at s.h.i.+ Quan, “You are too honest, very easy to be cheated, I’ll help you give them a warning.”
s.h.i.+ Quan’s face suddenly changed, while Feng Xi had already come before Lou Yu and Mo Fei.
“Miss Feng, what’s up?” Asked Mo Fei.
Feng Xi proudly held her chin high, “You two are so lucky. My buddy happens to need two guards and thinks you two are not bad and decides to hire you two. You two lucky dogs!”
Mo Fei smiled, “Yes, yes.”
“My buddy is very generous. Follow him and you’d no longer have to risk your life every day, and you could earn ten medium star crystals a month and have good food and drinks every day.” Feng Xi said while turning an eye at Lou Yu and Mo Fei.
s.h.i.+ Quan wanted to speak but stopped, face flus.h.i.+ng.
Mo Fei pretended to look jittered, “Thank you…” Ten medium star crystals? ‘That many’? a.s.shole, with ten star crystals and you want me to serve you? Oh come on!
s.h.i.+ Quan carefully looked at the two people, “So you agreed?”
Mo Fei nodded, “Yes!”
Hands held around the waist, Feng Xi looked at them overwhelmingly, “Hum, don’t bully my buddy since he looks silly. My buddy said you two look honest. But I hold different opinion. You don’t even offer your roasted meat to your master but only eat there yourselves.”
Feng Xi said so, while s.n.a.t.c.hing the barbecue from Mo Fei’s hand, and started to gnaw up.
Mo Fei, “…”
Lou Yu, “…”
Soon, a large piece of meat was eaten up, then Feng Xi looked at Lou Yu and Mo Fei, “Hey! Is there more?”
“No.” Lou Yu replied. This stupid woman! Even I haven’t had a bite but you already ate it all!
Feng Xi blackened her face, “No? Then keep roasting more! So stupid! When will you have your day to hold up your head?”
Mo Fei nodded, “Yes, what you said is very reasonable.”
s.h.i.+ Quan took Feng Xi’s hand and said, “Well, Feng Xi, you have had a big piece. If eating more, you’d gain some weight.”
Feng Xi disagreed, “I am thin, it’s OK.”
s.h.i.+ Quan pulled Feng Xi’s hand, “It’s late. Eating too much isn’t good.”
Feng Xi said with some dissatisfaction, “Stone, why are you speaking for some outsiders?”
Lou Yu looked at Mo Fei, asking through sound transmission, “How could you just agree?”
Mo Fei shrugged his shoulders and replied through sound transmission, “A lean camel is bigger than a horse. After all, he is a duke.”
s.h.i.+ Quan didn’t look like a rash person, and Lou Yu was about to upgrade to the earth cla.s.s, and he needed a safe place.
