Of course, Li Qingzhu could tell what Zhou Xing was plotting. However, he wasn't someone who would be easily frightened.
"Haha!"
Li Qingzhu laughed awkwardly before saying, "I'm really sorry, but I don't have much hope this time. That's why I'm going to send a few younger members to temper themselves. As for going against the Floating Cloud adventurer team, I have no intention of doing so right now! "
Not only did Li Qingzhu reject Zhou Xing's invitation, but he also accused Zhou Xing of going against the Floating Cloud adventurer team.
When Zhou Xing heard Li Qingzhu's words, his gaze turned cold and he said, "Brother Li, be careful with your words. I have never said that I want to go against the Floating Cloud adventurer team. However, we won't stoop to compromise like you, Brother Li. We don't want to provoke the Floating Cloud adventurer team, but they can't look down on us either! "
"That's right! Haha! "
Hua Tianlang, the Heavenly Wolf adventurer team's commander, nodded in agreement. The smile on his face made him look like a fool with no opinions of his own. However, if one looked carefully, they could see that the sinister look on this fellow's face was on the verge of erupting. With one look, one could tell that this fellow was a smiling tiger with a dagger hidden in his smile.
At this time, Hua Tianlang smiled and said, "Brother Li, don't forget how your elder brother died!"
As soon as these words left his mouth, Hua Tianlang hurriedly said, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Brother Li, I'm not good with words. I didn't mean to bring up your sad past. I'm really sorry! "
Li Qingzhu's expression didn't change. He smiled faintly and said, "Brother Hua, you don't have to worry about it. It's been a long time, and I've already walked out of my grief. I can't keep thinking about my elder brother's death and forget how to live on, right? "
An imperceptible look of surprise flashed across Hua Tianlang's face. He clearly hadn't expected Li Qingzhu to be so patient. Even such words couldn't provoke him.
Before coming here, Hua Tianlang had already discussed with Zhou Xing that before entering the ruin's depths, they would use Li Qingzhu's advantage to smoothly reach the ruin's depths. Then, they would have their own subordinates attack Li Qingzhu's subordinates.
The best way to accomplish this was to instigate Li Qingzhu's hatred for Floating Cloud. Then, they could use this opportunity to rope Li Qingzhu over to their side.
Unexpectedly, they still looked down on Li Qingzhu.
He had never forgotten the hatred in his heart, but he would never let hatred blind his eyes and make himself do something stupid that was irreversible.
"My two brothers …"
At this moment, Li Qingzhu raised his head and looked at the two of them. "It wasn't easy for me to get to where I am today. I will never forget the kindness you two have shown me. I no longer have any hope for this operation. You two can do it. I will tell my subordinates to help you in the ruins as long as the conditions permit. "
When Hua Tianlang and Zhou Xing heard this, their expressions turned ugly.
Of course, they could tell that Li Qingzhu's words were just empty words.
Conditions allowed?
When would the conditions allow it?
To put it bluntly, it all depended on his mood.
If he was in a good mood, he would help them. If he was in a bad mood, even if he died in front of them, they wouldn't even spare him a glance.
However, when facing two competitors like them, would the other party really care about them?
Of course not!
From the beginning to the end, it was clear that Li Qingzhu had never treated them as friends or had any intention of cooperating with them. Although Hua Tianlang and Zhou Xing didn't, Li Qingzhu's words extinguished their last hope of using Li Qingzhu.
"Since Brother Li isn't willing to cooperate with us, let's forget about it."
Zhou Xing sighed and shook his head. "Although it might be inconvenient for us to move around without you two, we still have a way."
Li Qingzhu smiled and said, "I feel relieved to hear that you have a way."
"Brother Li, no matter what, we still treat you as a friend! Hahaha! "
Hua Tianlang revealed a hearty smile as he patted Li Qingzhu's shoulder and said, "Since Floating Cloud's members haven't arrived yet, let's wait outside for a while. Brother Li, please excuse me. "
Li Qingzhu nodded and said, "Please go ahead!"
After the members of the two large adventurer teams sat down, Li Qingzhu walked over to Qin Yi's side and said, "Qin Yi, be careful when you enter later."
Li Qingzhu implied that the two large adventurer teams would definitely think of a way to deal with Qin Yi's group later. Perhaps they would think of a way to gain some benefits from Qin Yi's group.
Of course, Qin Yi could see this. Even without Li Qingzhu's reminder, he had already noticed the treacherous looks in those two fellows' eyes.
What's more, for so long, Qin Yi had encountered countless enemies. If he couldn't even see these things, then he would have been dead long ago.
"Commander Li, you don't have to worry about this."
The corners of Qin Yi's mouth curled up slightly as he said, "It's fine if they don't come looking for us. If they do, it's hard to say who will be the one scheming against whom."
Seeing Qin Yi's calm demeanor, Li Qingzhu suddenly felt confident.
He didn't say anything else. He just leaned against the side and rested with the others.
Zhou Xing's and Hua Tianlang's expressions darkened when they saw this.
…
Time passed gradually. Before they knew it, it was already noon.
Sure enough, the thick fog that shrouded the land actually began to dissipate the moment the hour arrived. The desolate land gradually revealed itself in front of everyone.
At this moment, people suddenly saw a group of twenty people walking over unhurriedly from afar.
"They're finally here," Li Qingzhu muttered.
Li Qingzhu muttered in a low voice. A cold glint flashed across her eyes. She then stood up and calmly watched the approaching team.
Floating Cloud's members quickly arrived before everyone. They all held their heads high and puffed out their chests arrogantly. It was as if they were born to be superior to others.
"Deputy Commander Chu? Why are you here? Where's Commander Liu? "
Zhou Xing's expression changed when he saw the person leading the team. Then, he asked with a smile.
"Our commander has other matters to attend to."
Vice Commander Chu glanced at Zhou Xing and asked in a lazy tone, "What? Don't tell me I'm not qualified to come to a place like this?"
