Although this group of people were wearing masks and cloaks, when the carriage passed by, Odd Zhuo could still sense a hint of coldness emanating from under the cloaks, and he could tell that one of them was Jiumiya Ryoko.
He broke out in a cold sweat on the spot, making Qin Zong very nervous for a moment. He had just wanted to make a joke, and hadn't really planned on running into Jiumiya Ryoko on the road.
In the end, he hadn't expected luck to be used in this kind of place, and he had hit the nail on the head.
Of course, Qin Zong hadn't expected Odd Zhuo to be this scared; it looked like he would most likely be the henpecked type in the future.
In the carriage, they had a tacit understanding not to disturb Lotus Sun and the others. Instead, when the carriage passed an alley, they quietly gave the coachman some money to quietly follow them.
Odd Zhuo had mustered up his courage to do this, even though he only dared to let the coachman follow them secretly for now.
The main thing was that he didn't know what Ryoko would do if she discovered him.
Their purpose in going to the Astrology Club was to find the remaining two groups as soon as possible to avoid any mishaps. In the end, they had run into Jiumiya Ryoko on the way here, which was like delivering a pillow to them when they were feeling sleepy.
Odd Zhuo had initially thought that cell phone signals wouldn't work in this "alternate world," but after the incident in his WeChat Moments just now, he instantly saw the light.
He immediately wrote two messages and sent them to Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal, telling them their current location and that they had found Jiumiya Ryoko.
The other message was sent to Li Xian and Zhang Zizi …
But it was more reliable to let Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal's physical body inform these two ancient seniors.
The two of them had only just come into contact with modern things like cell phones, and weren't particularly familiar with how to operate them, so it was inevitable that something unexpected would happen.
After doing all this, Odd Zhuo breathed a slight sigh of relief. He quietly pulled open the curtains on the side of the carriage and peeked out the window at Jiumiya Ryoko and the others who were hurrying along.
"What on earth are they going to do?" Odd Zhuo murmured. "And it seems they specially switched masks with Ryoko. Are they afraid she'll be targeted? Do they want to keep her safe? "
Odd Zhuo's words were enough of an inspiration. Qin Zong of Qin Zong rubbed his chin and abruptly said, "A dojo challenge in an underground boxing arena costs nearly six million gold gear coins and a pass. And sister-in-law's employer was the police chief, Decars. He himself was here for the pass. Then how did sister-in-law and the other two people get their passes? "
"Oh right." Zhou Ziyi nodded. "Even if the director gives all the bonus to Yoshiko, a communication pass from the core zone is worth twenty million Gold Gear Coins. That's not enough."
“bingo! So the only explanation is that someone is sponsoring them. "
Qin Zong snapped his fingers and said with a calm expression, "The person who is most likely to sponsor is the boxing arena operator, Zhu Yuanrun."
"Is it because Senior Golden Lamp saved him from the black dragon?" Odd Zhuo frowned.
Judging from Zhu Yuanrun's hostility towards them in the beginning, he felt that this person was not a nice person.
Furthermore, such a cunning person who thought of all sorts of ways to use improper means to trip up his opponent had actually admitted defeat so openly.
This also made Odd Zhuo vaguely feel that something wasn't right.
"It seems that Brother Zhuo and I both think that this Zhu Yuanrun isn't a good person."
In the carriage, Qin Zong folded his arms and analyzed, "When all is said and done, this Zhu Yuanrun is just a capitalist who doesn't get up early without profit. This kind of person?
It's impossible for him to make a loss. That's why he gave them extra passes. Someone must be helping Zhu Yuanrun to lure the enemy deep into their territory. "
Odd Zhuo and Zhou Ziyi heard this.
They were all silent and deep in thought.
The main thing was that Qin Zong's calm analysis made everything sound so reasonable.
It could almost be described as impeccable.
Of course?
Qin Zong actually wasn't too sure about this conclusion. "Ah, that's just my point of view?
Brother Zhuo and Brother Ziyi can just listen to it?
They might also be confused. "
"Confused? A koi fish like you can also be confused? "Odd Zhuo laughed in his heart.
In fact, Qin Zong hadn't confessed his true identity to Odd Zhuo at all, but Odd Zhuo already regarded him as a koi fish in his heart … everything was so natural.
But now?
The carriage wheels came to a stop again.
The driver at the front lifted the curtain. "Sirs?
The area in front is a private residence?
The carriage could not go in. I saw that the lords you were chasing had already entered through the entrance. "
"Okay?
Many thanks. "Odd Zhuo nodded.
Soon after, they also got off the car.
Was it as the coachman had said?
What Odd Zhuo and the others saw was a magnificent mansion with richly ornamented beams and painted rafters, on which all kinds of ancient mechanical beasts were carved, perfectly blending in with the style of this world. Including the plaque decorated with neon lights on the door, the words "Di Manor" were written on the flickering lights.
"So this is the official residence of that director?" Odd Zhuo stood at the door in a daze.
Then, he started to pace as well?
He followed Kyouya Ryoko and the others in.
His intuition had always been accurate.
He had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.
Even though Odd Zhuo knew very well that …
Monk Jin Deng was here?
Even if they encountered great danger, it would not be a problem.
However, he still had to protect his own woman.
This was what a real boyfriend should be like.
…
Should they split into two groups and take the other carriage?
As expected, Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal and the others, who had entered the core city as servants, received news from Odd Zhuo.
"As expected, Brother Zhuo is very lucky. Not long after entering the city, we ran into Miss Rong and Miss Ryoko, "Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal said with a smile.
Actually, he had already expected this outcome.
After all, Odd Zhuo was with that one and only koi in the cultivation world …
"Then are we still going to the Astrology Club?" Xiang Yi asked.
"We still have to. Every week, a large number of dignitaries pour in to divine the stars and fortune. Although finding these two people in this imperial city is like looking for a needle in a haystack, it's not as difficult as you think. "
Wang Ming nodded as he used his brainwaves to transmit the location of the Astrology Club to everyone else's minds.
This was a real-time map. The flashing red moving dot was their current location, and the destination of the Astrology Club was marked with a yellow asterisk. It was clear at a glance.
"It's actually this Astrology Club?"
Xiang Yi was startled when he saw the mark on the map.
"What, you've been there before?" Loopy Toad raised its eyebrows and asked.
"That's right! Come to think of it, it's a coincidence that I actually run a tobacco, alcohol and snacks shop next to the Astrology Club. I'm the behind-the-scenes boss of that shop. Furthermore, today is the day of the special sale! "
"Special sale?"
"All kinds of snacks. Limited-edition figs, limited-edition lollipops, limited-edition crispy noodle snacks, and so on … The rich and powerful may not be interested in these little things, but the children of the rich and powerful are very happy to buy them. They often carry them back home in boxes for the card collecting event. "
Xiang Yi laughed. "Sure enough, it's the easiest to earn money from children. Otherwise, where do you think I got my sixty million gold gear coins from?"
"…"
Hearing this, everyone in Battle Sect couldn't help falling silent.
Limited edition crispy noodle snacks …
And it was a limited edition crispy noodle snack from another world …
For some reason, everyone in Battle Sect had a feeling at that moment.
Perhaps.
That man …
Was coming …
