Chapter 247 - Young Master
Xing Jiuan and Ou Qi watched for a while.
"Why don"t we practice too?" Ou Qi said.
Xing Jiuan took a look and seemed to have the same thoughts. "Okay."
Mu Qing had finished talking to someone and was about to look for Xing Jiuan when he realized that she was practicing wrestling with Ou Qi.
As he walked over, Xing Jiuan happened to throw Ou Qi into the pit and smiled happily.
He stopped in his tracks and remained where he was.
"Why aren"t you going over?"
Lu Mingxi walked over and asked him this curiously.
Mu Qing looked at Xing Jiuan"s slightly smug smile. "Let them play for a while."
Ou Qi jumped up again and hugged Xing Jiuan"s belt before falling down with her.
Xing Jiuan lost her balance and fell with her.
Ou Qi rubbed her fingers against Xing Jiuan"s face. "Little kitten."
Xing Jiuan wiped her face. "Childish."
There were not many people in this small corner. Everyone else"s training ground was not here either. No one could see the two of them fooling around.
However, Xing Jiuan had often fought with people in the mud pits in the past.
It was just that she did not fall.
There was another important reason why she was fighting here. It did not hurt much after she fell.
The two of them played for a while before looking at each other. They decided to go back, take a shower, and change their clothes.
Lu Mingxi sighed. "I haven"t seen Jiuan smile like this in a long time."
Mu Qing looked at their backs and did not speak.
It was almost an hour later when they were done.
Xing Jiuan"s hair was not long, but she still sent a message to someone only after she finished blowing her hair.
Ou Qi came out with her long hair loose. Xing Jiuan reached out and touched her hair.
"Jiuan, if you had long hair, you would definitely look good," Ou Qi suddenly said.
She looked at Xing Jiuan"s hair seriously and couldn"t help but reach out to touch it as well.
However, Xing Jiuan deliberately did not let her touch her. She raised her head and smiled at her.
"Childish." Ou Qi held her arm. "But it"s also good that you"re like this. You"re beautiful and handsome. You can pretend to be my boyfriend. I"ll be especially proud if I bring you out!"
"I don"t want to." Xing Jiuan raised her eyebrows.
"Am I not worthy of you?"
Xing Jiuan snorted. "Who knows!"
"Bad girl."
Xing Jiuan smiled happily as Ou Qi pulled her forward.
The two of them walked over. Mu Qing was sitting there when he saw the two of them coming over. He waved.
"Jiuan."
Xing Jiuan walked over quickly.
"Senior Brother."
Ou Qi quickly followed.
Her hair was not very long either. Her shawl was slightly longer, and with her lolita face, she looked more like a minor.
Ou Qi sat beside Xing Jiuan. "Boss, is something the matter?"
Lu Mingxi looked at Ou Qi"s shawl and felt a little emotional.
He had never seen Xing Jiuan with long hair before!
"We"ll set off tomorrow to Country Y. Prepare some things you need today, but not too much. We"ll be back soon."
"Yes, Boss," Ou Qi said.
Xing Jiuan nodded as well.
"Senior Brother, who are they?"
"I"m not sure about the people over there yet, but I"m sure they don"t have any ill intentions. They just want to s.n.a.t.c.h territory."
Xing Jiuan thought for a moment. "Didn"t Senior Brother say that it was useless there and that he was about to withdraw our people and sell their territory?"
"Mm-hm." Mu Qing smiled and looked at Xing Jiuan.
"Since they want it, we can make a deal with them."
"If possible, I want to know who"s behind them."
That territory belonged to Mu Qing. Since those people could find it, they should know a little about it. As they still insisted on taking it, the person behind this must not be ordinary.
Although they had yet to announce their relations.h.i.+p as senior siblings, and Mu Qing had not even taken a photo internationally, even if no one could recognize him, his ability could not be underestimated.
Not to mention, he had a training ground behind him.
"The person behind them is not ordinary. Since we"ll meet him eventually, we might as well take a look at the situation."
"Okay."
"Go and prepare first. I"ll make a call."
"Okay."
Ou Qi pulled Xing Jiuan to her feet and was about to leave when Lu Mingxi called out to them.
"What"s the matter?" Ou Qi"s voice was a little casual.
"I"m asking for Jiuan."
"Jiuan is mine. If you want to talk to her, I want to hear it too."
Xing Jiuan was helpless and took a few steps back silently.
She felt like she had never been hers alone.
How could she always belong to someone else?
"What"s yours and what"s mine? Tell Boss."
Ou Qi did not dare to do so yet.
Boss was too cold. She did not dare to.
Xing Jiuan and Lu Mingxi moved to the side.
"What do you want to tell me?"
"I met someone by chance yesterday," Lu Mingxi said. He thought about it for a long time and decided to tell Xing Jiuan.
"He has only one eye, and it"s red. His skin is very fair, and his lips are like blood. He looks like the kind of man who… looks like a vampire."
With this description, a man"s face immediately appeared in Xing Jiuan"s mind.
Jiu Chi.
The man who made her feel a sense of danger.
"He was walking around outside for a while, far from the training ground, but I happened to pa.s.s by him and heard him say your name."
He had originally wanted to tell Mu Qing about this, but after careful consideration, he decided to tell Xing Jiuan.
Actually, that person was very strange. He had not planned to say anything at first because he was worried that that person would pose a threat to Xing Jiuan. But he still told her.
If there was really something, she would tell Mu Qing.
"I know that person." Xing Jiuan"s voice was very calm. "He probably doesn"t know about this place. It"s probably just a coincidence that you met him. Don"t worry about it."
"That"s good." Lu Mingxi felt relieved.
"I"m going back first. You should go back early too."
"Mm-hm."
After Lu Mingxi left, Xing Jiuan fell silent again.
What was that man trying to do?
This was the first time she could not see through a person. She clearly did not know him, but he seemed to be especially familiar with her. Moreover, she could occasionally tell that he did not just know her.
Moreover, she felt that the other party was dangerous, but she could also be at ease in front of him as if he would not hurt her.
"What are you thinking about?" Ou Qi suddenly patted her shoulder and interrupted Xing Jiuan"s thoughts.
"Nothing. Let"s go back."
"Okay."
As they walked, Xing Jiuan would occasionally daydream about Jiu Chi. Ou Qi could tell that she had something on her mind, so she did not disturb her.
After making the call, Mu Qing confirmed that they still had not investigated the background of that group of people and asked them to investigate if they were safe.
Actually, this trip was just something in pa.s.sing. They still had a mission. Although it was not difficult, it was a little troublesome. He did not intend to tell them that he planned to act alone.
The next morning, they went out together.
Other than the four of them, there were three students who were at the top at the training ground. They were preparing to bring them out for this mission.
Mu Qing had been very silent previously, and no one paid much attention to him. Only Xing Jiuan could tell that something was wrong.
Senior Brother seemed to be troubled.
But what was there to worry about? Wasn"t this matter very simple?
Unless there was something else!
Xing Jiuan clenched her fists and prepared to follow closely behind Mu Qing and not let him act alone.
It was very likely that Mu Qing would not bring them on his own mission.
And this mission must be very dangerous in his eyes. Otherwise, he would not have done this.
After a long time, they finally arrived. Ou Qi stretched and ma.s.saged her back again.
When she saw the two black cars, she tugged at Xing Jiuan"s clothes and asked softly, "Is that our car?"
Xing Jiuan took a look. "Yes."
As they walked over, someone got out of the car and opened the car door for them.
The driver was from Country Y and was also under Mu Qing.
After chatting for a while in the car, Xing Jiuan became interested in the person who had arrived.
She really wanted to see who had taken a liking to the place where they were about to leave.
In the end, when they arrived, they originally wanted to say something, but one of the other parties seemed to look at her in surprise. Then, before their surprised gazes, he took a few steps forward and stopped about three meters away from Xing Jiuan. He performed a gentlemanly gesture.
Xing Jiuan vaguely realized something and was about to say something, but it was already too late.
The other party greeted her respectfully, "Young Master."
