So he wasn’t in a hurry either, knowing that Liu Rui would definitely co to pick him up. Sure enough, after two minutes, Liu Rui rushed over, giving Xiao Yifei a disdainful look. Although he didn’t say anything, Xiao Yifei could fully imagine what Liu Rui would say and the tone he’d use, definitely sothing to mock him. You couldn’t expect to hear any praise from Liu Rui’s mouth.
After bringing those few people back into the house, Liu Rui asked, "You guys might as well work with from now on. I see you don’t have much skills!"
Those few people couldn’t speak, so they just looked at Liu Rui eagerly.
"If you agree, just nod your head. Our ultimate goals are the sa, so by cooperating, you won’t lose anything." Liu Rui’s current deanor indeed had a bit of a boss’s aura, and Xiao Yifei was sowhat overwheld by his confident tone.
It seems so things are inherited. Like Liu Rui, he must have inherited his father’s charisma. These things are sothing others can’t imitate no matter how hard they try.
Those few people hesitated for a mont. They didn’t dare to make any hasty moves. They had never seen these two people in front of them, but both appeared very formidable. If they offended them, their future days would be more challenging. Yet, if they agreed too quickly, where would their pride stand?
"You can hesitate, but I have no ti to waste. I guarantee you’ll stay here, and who knows when others might find you!" Liu Rui said blandly.
The four hesitated for a while, then nodded. Liu Rui glanced at Xiao Yifei, who understood and walked over to release their acupoints.
"You all have so lingering ailnts that have troubled you for quite a while, don’t you?" Xiao Yifei asked curiously.
"Indeed, but it doesn’t affect daily life as long as it doesn’t flare up." One person said, looking at Xiao Yifei with a bit of surprise, unexpectedly realizing that this man was so skilled, knowing about his old ailnts just by a touch.
Xiao Yifei didn’t comnt on his surprised tone; he seed accustod to others being amazed by his dical skill. The other three were even more shocked by his performance, realizing that this was a golden opportunity.
They wanted the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle because once they acquired it and unlocked a certain acupuncture point, they could enter the Golden Elixir Realm.
The Golden Elixir Realm ans having cultivated Dan Tian Hun Yuan Qi, moving as willed, exerting force in the air, and controlling others at the thought. Such a realm is a lifelong pursuit for many.
So seeing Xiao Yifei’s excellent dical skill and delicate acupuncture technique, these were the people they had long sought. Liu Rui’s own strength was already formidable, so the chances of success in cooperation were high.
For Xiao Yifei and Liu Rui, these people had stayed in the ’monitoring’ for longer than them, so many pieces of information still needed to be learned from them. Hence, both parties could get what they wanted, making it a pri opportunity for cooperation.
After all, the ultimate goal was to get the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle, so it didn’t matter who they partnered with.
So the six ford a new force group. The advantage of this group was that currently nobody knew of its existence, reducing many complications in their actions.
After those few could speak, they were curious about the origins of Xiao Yifei and Liu Rui. One asked, "You two must have just co from outside! We’ve never seen you before."
Xiao Yifei glanced at Liu Rui, seeing he had no intention to speak. This was typical, never willing to utter an unnecessary word, so Xiao Yifei said, "We’re just here to find soone."
He was unwilling to divulge more to people he had just t. Their cooperation was rely based on mutual interests. Who knew what character they had? Xiao Yifei was learning not to easily trust anyone in this monitor.
Today was the last day of the year. Tang Rong got off work early. At noon, her mother had called, asking her to return ho early for a family dinner. Shortly after five, her mother called again.
"Rongrong, didn’t you say you’d get off work early today? When are you coming ho?" Tang’s mother asked.
"Mom, I’m still working overti at the company. I probably won’t be back until 8 pm. You and dad go ahead and eat; I’ll hurry back." Tang Rong hung up.
Actually, she wasn’t working overti. She had returned to her own place, wanting to see if Xiao Yifei would co back. Although they had broken up, it was strange for Xiao Yifei to disappear without a word and have his phone turned off for several days.
So, she decided to wait and see if on this final day, he would co ho. She rembered Xiao Yifei saying he had no other family, so she didn’t want him coming back to a dark, lonely place.
She thought of contacting Xiao Yifei’s friends to see if they knew where he might be. But then she realized he didn’t seem to have many friends here, aside from Liu Sisi and the others — she didn’t know if Xiao Yifei had other friends.
So she texted Liu Sisi, asking if she had seen Xiao Yifei recently. Liu Sisi replied she hadn’t and that she hadn’t seen her brother in several days either.
Tang Rong felt a bit worried but thought nothing should have happened. Xiao Yifei might have gone off sowhere to relax alone.
So Tang Rong went to her parents’ ho alone. Arriving late, she got a scolding from her mother, who eventually rembered sothing and asked, "Why haven’t I seen Xiao Yifei? Didn’t he co with you?"
"He’s on a business trip," Tang Rong said. She wasn’t planning to tell her parents about her breakup with Xiao Yifei; she didn’t want to ruin their dinner. Plus, if her mom found out, she would already be spreading the news everywhere and would start introducing her to new boyfriends.
Such things were better found out later.
"You know this child, as a doctor, is always busy. Hardly any free ti all year round. If you marry him, your life will be tough. The household chores will be all on you," Tang’s mother nagged.
"Mom, you’re thinking too far ahead. I haven’t even decided to marry him! Let’s not talk about this. The lamb’s ready; eat up, mom." Tang Rong changed the subject, placing a piece of at in her mother’s bowl. This topic could easily go on forever.
"Xiao Yifei is so good, yet you haven’t thought of marrying him? What are you thinking? I’m telling you; you won’t find anyone better than Xiao Yifei," Tang’s mother said.
