Entering the village..,
Liu Xiaojiang followed behind Chou Rang and went deeper into the village. Along the way, he looked around at the environment and people in the village.
The natural environment around the village was extremely beautiful and comfortable, surrounded by mountains and rivers.
Houses, arable land, livestock pens, ponds, and other living conditions were also extremely well-equipped in the medium-sized village.
In addition..,
There were many people living in the village. Even if he made a rough estimate, there were at least 200 people.
However..
Liu Xiaojiang looked at the houses in the village. A strange red light flashed in his eyes, but then he slowly frowned.
He found that although there were many mutants in the village, there were also many ordinary people among them.
Moreover..,
These mutants looked the same as the guys Chen Duo had brought with her.
Although everyone had Qi in their bodies, compared to mutants like Chen Duo and Chou Rang, it was as if they did not know how to cultivate Qi at all. They did not even use Qi to maintain a normal cycle in their bodies.
Sensing this..,
Liu Xiaojiang focused his attention on Chou Rang in front of him. Especially when he saw the 'Gilded Ruyi' on the other party's back, he could not help but ask,
"What's going on with you guys?"
"What do you mean?" Chou Rang, who was walking in front, turned around and glanced at Liu Xiaojiang.
"Everything."
Liu Xiaojiang followed behind and said calmly, "Let's not talk about Chen Duo for now. The quality of your magic tools is not bad. At least, they are better than the ones I saw just now."
"There are so many magic tools and so many people gathered in the village. There are even some ordinary people... what are you guys doing?
Are you crazy? "
It was fine if these guys had many magic tools. At most, this matter would attract the covetous eyes of other mutants. It would not be enough to make the people outside define them as a dangerous organization.
However, these guys not only sounded like they had established some kind of sect, but they even involved some ordinary people.
As a result..,
The nature of the entire incident suddenly changed.
The company represented the officials. No matter how the higher-ups explained this matter, it was an absolute fact in the eyes of those with discerning eyes.
The company's standards for treating all the mutants in this world were, to a certain extent, equivalent to the official attitude towards things.
The most important responsibility of the company was to stabilize the influence of the Inhumans on society and prevent ordinary people from discovering the existence of the Inhumans, thus maintaining the normal operation and order of the entire society.
These guys' actions of involving ordinary people was simply a deliberate disruption of the order maintained by the company. It was a direct slap to the face of the company and the government!
"Ordinary people?"
Chou Rang smiled disapprovingly. "Liu Zhenren, you've wronged our leader."
"Most of the villagers found their own way here. Cult Master only took them in and never forced anyone to do anything. Listening to Cult Master's orders … was purely voluntary."
Willingly?
It wasn't that Liu Xiaojiang didn't believe Chou Rang's words because of Chen Duo. After all, the cult leader could make Chen Duo stay in the village willingly. This meant that he was at least someone who knew how to buy people's hearts.
However,
Whether or not the company was willing to pay for this kind of 'voluntary' and let Bi You Village continue to develop … was another matter.
"Heh …"
Liu Xiaojiang saw Chou Rang bring him to a remote hut. He didn't have the intention to meddle in other people's business. After all, the company hadn't noticed the situation here for the time being.
Creak …
The wooden door of the hut was opened from the inside,
A young man in white clothes, with long white hair and bare feet on the ground, walked out of the hut.
When he saw Chou Rang walking over with Liu Xiaojiang, he immediately took the initiative to greet them with a smile on his face.
"Liu Zhenren, we finally meet."
Liu Xiaojiang raised his eyes to look at the young man with an otherworldly temperament. Even though he guessed that this guy should be the cult master that Chou Rang mentioned, he still pretended to be puzzled,
"You are …"
"I'm the village chief here, Ma Xianhong." Ma Xianhong smiled kindly.
After briefly stating his identity,
He nodded and motioned for Chou Rang to leave. He brought Liu Xiaojiang to the small table in front of the hut where the food had already been prepared. He greeted him warmly,
"Liu Zhenren, let's talk while we eat."
Liu Xiaojiang sat on the stool and watched Chou Rang leave at ease. He couldn't help but look at Ma Xianhong with some surprise and said,
"Village Chief Ma, you seem to have known me for a long time. Not only are you not curious about my arrival, you even seem to have known that I would come …"
Snap!
Ma Xianhong lowered his head and looked at the food on the table. Then, he suddenly raised his hand and snapped his fingers, directly interrupting Liu Xiaojiang's question.
After the snap of his fingers,
A girl with strange makeup and hair walked out of the hut with wine. She poured wine for Ma Xianhong and Liu Xiaojiang without saying a word. Then, she stood alone with a bottle of wine with an extremely wooden expression.
"We made the food and wine ourselves. Although it's definitely not as good as those bought outside … I believe that after a long time, the villagers will always live a good life."
Ma Xianhong reached out and picked up the chopsticks on the table. He looked at Liu Xiaojiang again and said with a smile,
"Liu Zhenren, don't worry. Even if I can do it … I won't spy on my own people. In fact, it was Chou Rang who called me and told me that you were coming here."
"As for why I know Liu Zhenren …"
"After the Luo Tian Grand Ritual at Mount Longhu, I think there shouldn't be anyone who doesn't know Liu Zhenren now, right?"
Liu Xiaojiang looked at the girl with strange makeup and hair beside him. He didn't care if what Ma Xianhong said was true or false. Instead, he picked up his chopsticks and looked at Ma Xianhong. He pretended to be impressed and said,
"Village Chief Ma, let's not talk about other things. Just based on the fact that it's so late, you won't let go of any opportunity to make a baby. And your taste … Tsk tsk, I'm really impressed."
Pfft!!!
Ma Xianhong spat out a mouthful of wine on the ground. He almost choked to death by Liu Xiaojiang's words.
"Cough cough … Liu Zhenren misunderstood. Ruhua isn't a human at all. It's just my work."
Hearing this..,
Liu Xiaojiang looked carefully at Ruhua beside him. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he still smiled and scratched his head, saying,
"Haha, it seems like that's really the case. It seems that I really didn't pay attention just now. Isn't it just a girl who can be used at night?
I understand, I understand … "
"What do you know!"
When Ma Xianhong saw the 'I understand' expression on Liu Xiaojiang's face, the veins on his forehead immediately bulged. He placed his chopsticks on the table and pointed at Ruhua beside him. He explained,
"Mechanism Technique! Do you know Mechanism Technique? "
"Ruhua was created by me with Mechanism Technique. It's a kind of humanoid mechanism that can not only be used for combat, but also … There are many other auxiliary uses!"
When Liu Xiaojiang saw Ma Xianhong seriously explaining to him, he couldn't help but slowly raise the corner of his mouth.
Huo …
Honest man …
That would be easy.
