Zhou Xuan's line of thought was truly wild.
Uncle Li Dong and Qing Chen both had a bit of admiration for him.
As a lone individual, he had traveled to an unfamiliar world, and unlike others, had even crossed over to the wilderness to beco a servant.
For him to have the resolve in such a short ti to try to seduce a girl like Li Yinuo indeed required so boldness.
And, he really didn't care about losing face.
At this ti, Qin Yiyi felt that watching the drama unfold was incredibly entertaining.
Uncle Li Dong said, "How about we place a bet on whether he can win over Li Yinuo or not?"
Qing Chen was shocked, thinking to himself that Mother Ye and Lin Xiaoxiao loved to make bets over people as a little ga, could this teacher have passed it on?
Qin Yiyi hurried to say, "I bet he can't do it; I'll bet you an apple!"
"I might as well not bet; you two go ahead," Qing Chen thought for a bit, "I don't have anything on to wager."
"What are you thinking," Qin Yiyi tugged at his arm, "join in betting he can't do it, and I'll cover your apple!"
Uncle Li Dong said with a smile, "Then it looks like I can only bet that he can."
Actually, Uncle Li Dong also wanted to bet against it, but since the young girl had rushed to say 'can't do it,' he couldn't possibly compete with a young girl for it...
To him, this was more like a joyful ga, where winning or losing didn't matter.
"Look, Zhou Xuan is pondering sothing," Qing Chen comnted, "I think he might be summarizing his lessons from his failures and might switch his approach."
While they talked, Zhou Xuan, looking a bit puzzled, glanced over at them but only saw the three systematically munching on apples, as if nothing had ever happened.
He had just kept feeling that soone was secretly watching him, but it seed that he was maybe overthinking it? Stay tuned with empire
Zhou Xuan casually redirected his gaze but in an instant turned back to look at the three; they were still chatting and eating apples with no sign of anything unusual.
The Ti Traveler finally suppressed his suspicions, thinking he might really be worrying too much.
...
Zhou Xuan quietly observed Li Yinuo and Nan Gengchen.
The two seed to have said sothing, and Nan Gengchen actually left with a dark face, leaving Li Yinuo alone by the campfire.
Li Yinuo seed a bit unhappy too. Glancing around, she caught sight of Zhou Xuan who was doing nothing: "You, co here."
Not far away, the trio watching the show in surprise: "Why did Li Yinuo call him over? Don't tell Nan Gengchen made her angry, and she's planning to replace him with a new person?"
Qing Chen muttered quietly, "It's not impossible."
"Don't talk yet; they are about to converse. Listen carefully," Uncle Li Dong reminded.
Zhou Xuan approached Li Yinuo, who sat squarely: "You've been with the Lee family for 5 years now, haven't you?"
Zhou Xuan responded, "Miss Yino, it's been six years and three months."
The trio nibbling on apples comnted, "This kid is pretty thorough, isn't he?"
"Indeed, he just found out this information this afternoon."
"Looking up to the high-level players."
At that mont, Li Yinuo asked, "Why have you suddenly approached these past two days?"
Zhou Xuan's heartbeat nearly skipped, but his face showed nothing. Cautiously, he replied, "I just felt that Mister Nan must have upset you; I wanted to lighten the mood a bit. Miss Yino, you're so good to him and yet he dares show you an attitude."
From a distance, Uncle Li Dong clicked his tongue in amazent, "This guy has a really venomous tongue."
"Such a strong scent of green tea," Qing Chen remarked, "I wonder if Li Yinuo can handle it?"
Qin Yiyi thought for a mont, then replied, "She should be able to, at least I could."
It was at this mont Zhou Xuan shot another seemingly casual glance at the cucumber-eating trio; he always felt that the three by the fire were quietly discussing him, but he had no proof!
In the corner of his eye, those three continued to nonchalantly eat their apples.
Then, Li Yinuo turned and asked the middle-aged man who had been standing guard behind her, "Wang Bingxu, what do you think of this kid?"
"Pretty good," Wang Bingxu responded succinctly.
Zhou Xuan knew all too well that this middle-aged man, Wang Bingxu, was Li Yinuo's confidant. If he approved of him, the deal was likely half done!
Uncle Li Dong was sowhat puzzled: "Could this young lady actually have taken a liking to this pretty boy?"
"It's possible, otherwise why would she suddenly ask Wang Bingxu's opinion?"
"Ah," Qin Yiyi sighed, "Poor Nan Gengchen."
Qin Yiyi felt a bit heartbroken; it seed she was about to lose two apples!
But the very next second, Li Yinuo said to Wang Bingxu, "Alright, if you like him, that's good. I know you favor this kind of fresh at, he's yours now."
"Pfft!" The cucumber-eating trio spat out their apples once again; this was nothing like the plot everyone had imagined.
Zhou Xuan: "???"
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw those three spitting apples and thought to himself, I knew it!
You were indeed secretly sizing up and talking about !
Now you've exposed yourselves!
But, giving oneself away to that middle-aged man, what on earth was that all about!
Li Yinuo also glanced at Uncle Li Dong and his group, then looked at Zhou Xuan with a cold smile, "Did you really think that just because Xiao Nan and I argued, you could sche against him? Wang Bingxu, give him a good lesson, make him rember this."
Zhou Xuan watched as Wang Bingxu-sized him up with a look that turned his face ashen...
He hadn't expected that after coming to the Inner World, this would be his starting situation!
After all his days of hunting geese, he was now pecked in the eye by one.
Wang Bingxu walked over, grabbed the resistant Zhou Xuan and headed towards the tent.
Suddenly, Xiao Gong, who was wearing holographic glasses, said, "An anomaly has been detected in the vicinity of Drone #9... An anomaly is also present near Drone #11, Uncle Wang, Miss Yino, we need to evacuate this place first, we are being surrounded."
Li Yinuo arched an eyebrow, "Who has the audacity? Who's coming for us?"
"It should be the wilderness fighters we've fought before," Xiao Gong replied calmly, "They're back for revenge, and there are twice as many as last ti, over three hundred, and it looks like they've called for backup from other clans in the wilderness."
"How far away are they?"
"7 kiloters out, but they'll be here soon."
Li Yinuo wasn't just a show-off fool; this ti, there was real danger. The attackers knew the strength of the Autumn Hunting Fleet and wouldn't dare to co without being sure of victory!
As she ran towards the tent where Nan Gengchen was, she said to Wang Bingxu, "Get everyone on the vehicles, chase after the Jindai family for a bit, and drag them into fighting these wilderness people with us! You drive my car, I'll take soone else's."
She dragged Nan Gengchen out of the tent: "Save the quarrels for later. Don't be cross with now, this is serious business!"
With that, Li Yinuo actually lifted Nan Gengchen into the pickup truck's bed.
Qing Chen watched in amazent, thinking, how could this burly girl just jump into their vehicle? Could she have sensed sothing amiss?
This was all too bizarre; she had hopped into the truck bed as if knowing that, just by being there, she wouldn't have to fear any danger.
