At the end of the street, after seeing Xi Xiaotian and Broken Water Arrow disappear, Lu Ke, who had been hiding, let out a sigh of relief and showed herself. Immediately after, Imperial Divine Ming also poked his head out from the roof. Zhan Wushang stood at the corner of the street and didn't leave. On another street, Sword Ghost also turned and ran out.
"How was it?" Imperial Divine Ming asked.
"It seems to be quite successful." Lu Ke said.
"Not that, I'm asking if those arrows were cool or not?" Imperial Divine Ming said.
"…" Lu Ke.
"Bullshit, were they as cool as my Whirlwind Slash? I even forced Sword Ghost into a room. Haha, Sword Ghost, tell me honestly, if it was a real battle, and I didn't hold back, you wouldn't have been able to escape. "Zhan Wushang patted Sword Ghost.
"It was difficult." Sword Ghost said honestly.
"Hahaha!" Zhan Wushang was obviously even more proud.
"But I wouldn't tell you where I was hiding in a real battle." More honest words came later.
"Hahahaha!" Imperial Divine Ming laughed wildly.
Lu Ke wasn't in the mood to joke around with them. Their part had already been played out, but this was just the beginning. The most important part was Xi Xiaotian's one-man show, and they couldn't watch it, so they could only wait here. One could imagine how they felt.
Inside the tavern, the "Black Memory Box" scroll was quietly activated. Xi Xiaotian estimated that the scroll would record a length of 4 minutes and 24 seconds based on her mana that was slowly being drained. If everything went well, it should be enough. Xi Xiaotian thought to herself. She caught a fleeting glimpse of Water Breaking Arrow's gaze from what she had just said. She was gratified to be able to capture some information from his eyes.
In the end, she needed to observe the other party's reaction before she could proceed with the next step of guidance. In their field of expertise, this was called "Mind Reading". It had a magical name, but in reality, it was just some observation and deduction. For example, looking at the wedding ring on the ring finger meant that the person was married; wearing the watch on the right wrist meant that the person was left-handed.
Deducing the other party's inner world through these details was naturally the most profound level. Just like any other skill, it required experience and training. Those who could master the "Mind Reading Technique" to the point of perfection were mostly old swindlers who had been in the pugilistic world for decades. For a swindler like Xi Xiaotian, who was in his early twenties, what he lacked was not creativity or techniques, but the practice of mind reading.
However, there was a word called talent in this world. Just like Gu Fei's talent in kung fu, Xi Xiaotian also had a sharp intuition when it came to mind reading. However, Water Breaking Arrow's face was a huge obstacle. Other than that, Water Breaking Arrow barely had any body language. He was sitting on the stool with his hands flat on the table. After raising his glass to Xi Xiaotian once, he hadn't touched it since. His gaze was steady, and he wouldn't look at Xi Xiaotian unless he was talking. Xi Xiaotian knew that it wasn't because he was avoiding her gaze, but out of politeness and respect for women.
The reaction just now was the only information that Xi Xiaotian had captured since the two of them sat down and observed carefully with Mind Reading. She felt that it was extremely precious. She repeatedly recalled that gaze and deduced what it might mean. At the same time, she was also waiting for Water Breaking Arrow's reply.
However, there was no reply. Water Breaking Arrow quietly looked at Xi Xiaotian, seemingly waiting for her to continue. Xi Xiaotian once again felt troubled. She had hoped that the Water Breaking Arrow would speak more and dig out some valuable information from the emotionless message. However, this person also spoke very little. This made Xi Xiaotian feel like she had no way of continuing.
"It was your outstanding performance in the Arctic that made us notice you," Xi Xiaotian hurriedly said in a probing manner. She didn't forget that she was in a hurry.
"That's nothing," he replied calmly.
"Actually, we're also very interested in this plan of yours," Xi Xiaotian said.
Gaze! That gaze from before flashed again. It was astonishment. This time, Xi Xiaotian saw it more clearly. In addition, there was an important word in her words. She used the term "you", implying that they were a team. Was Water Breaking Arrow's astonishment because of this? At this moment, Xi Xiaotian really wanted to peel off the layer of grease on Water Breaking Arrow's face.
"To be honest, we're actually greedy enough to want you and your plan," Xi Xiaotian continued. This time, she didn't believe that Water Breaking Arrow wouldn't react at all.
As expected, Water Breaking Arrow seemed to shake his head helplessly, "I don't want to join the gaming studio. As for this plan, I feel that you've misunderstood something."
"Oh? Is that so? "Xi Xiaotian didn't say much. It wasn't easy for her to get Water Breaking Arrow to speak.
"What I'm doing is purely to help them. You say that you're interested in this? Forgive me for being blunt, but even though I don't know much about gaming studios, you guys should be pursuing benefits in the game, right? Why would you be interested in what I'm doing? "Water Breaking Arrow said.
"This guy!!!" Xi Xiaotian didn't expect Water Breaking Arrow to give such a reply. Is he telling the truth, or is it because he sensed a loophole in our plan and guessed our intentions from our words? In that case, I've been giving him too much information all this time, and the one who's been mind-read is actually me?
Xi Xiaotian didn't have time to filter through the details of the entire plan. At this moment, she was regretting opening the "black memory box" too early. But there was nothing she could do about it. Xi Xiaotian had long since decided to open the "black memory box" whenever they talked about the "plan". From what she understood of Water Depth's personality, it was clear that only a clear and detailed conversation could convince him.
"Is that so? It seems to be very different from what we know! "Xi Xiaotian said. In fact, what Water Breaking Arrow said just now was equivalent to announcing the failure of their plan this time. But after so much effort, and the "black memory box" had already been opened, Xi Xiaotian decided to gamble one last time.
"Oh? Then what do you guys think? "Water Breaking Arrow's answer was just as Xi Xiaotian expected.
"Enter the Arctic, teach practical forest combat techniques and trap techniques, establish a good image, win over people's hearts, then find an opportunity to replace the original guild leader and control the entire guild." Xi Xiaotian threw out their deductions. Just as she expected, Water Breaking Arrow didn't have much of a reaction. He only shook his head slightly. For someone as stable as him, even if Xi Xiaotian was 100% correct, he wouldn't be overly agitated. As he shook his head, he said calmly, "It's a big misunderstanding, I didn't mean it that way."
"But you have the conditions and opportunity to do it. Since you don't want to join the studio, perhaps you can consider working for us for a short time. Do as I said, after that, we … "
"Enough!" Water Breaking Arrow suddenly interrupted Xi Xiaotian's words. Xi Xiaotian knew that she had completely failed. Her last move was a lure. Of course, she didn't want to use this as evidence to show Water Depth, but to lure Water Breaking Arrow into a cooperative relationship with her. This way, the "black memory box" would be abandoned, and Xi Xiaotian would be able to easily obtain more convincing evidence at any time as a collaborator. It could be said that if this move had succeeded, even if the Water Shattering Arrow had been deceived by Xi Xiaotian, it would have been quite a despicable move. At the very least, they would have obtained the necessary evidence, and it would be up to Lu Ke and the others to decide whether or not to use it.
However, it was a pity that this move also failed. Before Xi Xiaotian could say a real and tempting number, she was interrupted by Water Breaking Arrow. She could see the disgust in Water Breaking Arrow's eyes. He stood up and looked at Xi Xiaotian, saying slowly, "No matter what your motive is, I'm still grateful for your help, but we don't seem to be the same kind of people. You know my name, so no matter when, as long as there's a proper way, I can return the favor. Other than that, I hope that we won't have any more contact in the future. "
"Sorry, I'll take my leave first." Water Breaking Arrow didn't forget to nod politely in the end, then turned around and left.
Xi Xiaotian, who was sitting where she was, came to a realization. In the end, what she caught was still Water Breaking Arrow's gaze. There were undoubtedly only two possibilities at the moment. One, Water Breaking Arrow saw through their plan, and he was a better liar than Xi Xiaotian. Two, there was nothing wrong with Water Breaking Arrow, but Gu Fei and the others had misunderstood him from the beginning …
On the roof of a certain tavern, the moment Xi Xiaotian and Water Breaking Arrow left, the Han Family's gentleman put away his binoculars. Brother You was very depressed. He guessed that the show must have been over, so he didn't even borrow it. He only asked, "How was it?"
"Idiot actor, wasted a pretty good script," said the Han Family's gentleman.
"Failed?" Brother You was surprised. He and the Han Family's gentleman also understood Gu Fei's plan, but they couldn't play a necessary role in it, so they didn't go over to arouse suspicion. They just watched from afar with binoculars. Poor Brother You, he only saw Gu Fei and Water Breaking Arrow's silent confrontation once …
"If I was Water Breaking Arrow, they would've definitely failed," said the Han Family's gentleman.
"What do you mean?"
"I don't know yet," said the Han Family's gentleman.
"What exactly happened?" asked Brother You.
"Imperial God Cry, he interrupted Thousand Miles's skill with an arrow, and then he showed off his high attack snipe. Let me ask you, with such high damage, why didn't he just kill Thousand Miles in one shot? "said the Han Family's gentleman.
"This …"
"Even if Water Breaking Arrow didn't notice it at the time, if he remembered this detail later, how stupid would he have to be to not notice it?" asked the Han Family's gentleman.
"Doesn't that mean he would've definitely failed?" said Brother You.
"Let's hope he remembers it later …" said the Han Family's gentleman.
