104 Rumor Killed, Shameless Lord
Hearing that the [Nirvana Mask] was ruined, Wang Xiao’s expression instantly changed. This was his first orange quality item!
[Nirvana Mask (Purple)]
[Disguise: You can freely change your appearance according to the wearer’s wishes.]
[Phoenix Power: Can increase the wearer’s energy by 200%]
[Usage level: Unlimited]
There were three main changes to the item information. Firstly, the quality of the item had decreased from orange to purple. Secondly, the second skill of the item, [Phoenix Power], had decreased from the original 300% energy increase to 200%.
However, these were not what Wang Xiao cared about. What made his heart ache the most was that the [Nirvana] skill that could block a fatal damage had disappeared.
As early as when he first obtained the [Nirvana Mask], Wang Xiao had taken a fancy to this skill at a glance. This was equivalent to an additional life!
A huge sense of loss filled his heart. Wang Xiao’s expression instantly darkened. However, when he saw the thick bandage on Qi Lianjun’s chest, the feeling disappeared.
Compared to him falling into danger passively, Qi Lianjun took the initiative to risk his life. However, he did all this not for himself, but for the entire Blue Planet.
“Don’t mind it. Tools are meant to be used!”
Wang Xiao patted Qi Lianjun’s shoulder and smiled again. He had lost an item skill, but he ended up saving such a good person. Not only was he not disappointed, but he even felt a little proud.
However, even if Wang Xiao had thought it through, Qi Lianjun still felt a little guilty. He sighed softly and said seriously, “Don’t worry, I’ll report this situation to Commander Chen truthfully. I’ll definitely try my best to compensate you!”
Wang Xiao chuckled when he heard this. “There’s no need for compensation. Just don’t go back on your word this time!”
Qi Lianjun was stunned for a moment before realizing that Wang Xiao was talking about the production method of the mechanical beast. Then, he patted his chest and promised, “Don’t worry, even if the commander goes back on his word, I’ll steal it for you!”
“Then I’ll wait for your good news!”
Wang Xiao laughed and reached out to shake Qi Lianjun’s hand firmly.
After that, the two of them parted ways. Just as Wang Xiao left and walked towards the Fang family, Chen Jinrong, who was dressed in military uniform, walked out of the shadows in the distance.
Seeing Chen Jinrong, Qi Lianjun hurriedly jogged over and saluted. “Sir!”
Chen Jinrong waved his hand. “How are your injuries?”
Qi Lianjun touched his chest. “It’s nothing serious. I just need to recuperate for a while.”
Chen Jinrong nodded and glanced in the direction Wang Xiao had left. “You didn’t say anything you shouldn’t have, right?”
“No!”
“That’s good.”
Chen Jinrong sighed lightly before turning to Qi Lianjun and saying helplessly, “I know this is very unfair to Wang Xiao, but since this matter involves the Purple Star, we have to deal with it carefully.”
“Yes!”
Qi Lianjun saluted again, but there was a hesitant expression on his face. “But according to our understanding of the Purple Star, they won’t allow such a high-level combatant to wander outside. Therefore… should we remind him a little?”
Chen Jinrong thought for a moment before shaking his head. “I’ve already reported this situation to the main military region. There’ll probably be a result in two to three days. The Purple Star people won’t be able to find him so quickly… Let’s wait for a while.”
“But…”
Qi Lianjun wanted to say something, but in the end, he nodded heavily. “I understand.”
…
At the Fang family.
After Andu wreaked havoc, the magnificent Fang family was almost reduced to ruins.
Wang Xiao had just walked to the door when he saw many people gathered in twos and threes in the courtyard, cursing this unexpected calamity.
Seeing this scene, Wang Xiao’s mood was also a little subtle. After all, if he wasn’t here, Andu wouldn’t have attacked the Fang family. However, he didn’t know that this would happen, so he couldn’t be blamed.
Just as Wang Xiao was feeling conflicted, he suddenly heard someone shout, “Wang Xiao is back!”
Hearing the shout, Wang Xiao had just returned to his senses when he felt a fragrant wind assault his face. Then, a beautiful figure slammed into his arms!
Wang Xiao staggered from the collision. He lowered his head and saw the person clearly. He immediately smiled bitterly. “Zhou Xiruo? What are you doing?”
“I thought I would never see you again!”
Zhou Xiruo shouted with a sobbing tone. Her two fists kept smashing into Wang Xiao’s chest in a girlish way. “Why are you only back now?! Don’t you know that you’ll make people worried?!”
“Didn’t I go to report the situation? I came back immediately after reporting.”
Wang Xiao comforted him with a smile, but Zhou Xiruo did not listen at all. There were tears on her face, and she only stopped after punching him more than ten times.
After venting her suppressed worry and fear, Zhou Xiruo’s emotions also stabilized slightly. She turned around and realized that everyone was sizing them up with subtle expressions. Only then did she realize that she was still in Wang Xiao’s arms.
“Shameless!”
Zhou Xiruo blushed and raised her hand to push Wang Xiao out. “You actually harassed your vassal lord!”
“Huh?”
Wang Xiao, who had been pushed away, had a surprised expression. “Weren’t you the one who hugged me just now?”
“Don’t talk nonsense! I didn’t!”
…
Seeing the two of them fooling around, everyone in the courtyard temporarily forgot what had just happened and started smiling.
Only Fang Tianyu’s eyes flashed with disappointment, but she immediately concealed it. She took a few steps forward and said, “Wang Xiao, please allow me to thank you on behalf of the Fang family.”
“Thank me?”
Wang Xiao was stunned when he heard this. Looking at the mess in the courtyard, his expression became complicated again. “But if it weren’t for me, the Fang family wouldn’t have become like this.”
“It’s not right to say that.”
Fang Tianyu shook her head seriously and said, “Although the Fang family received a warning in advance, they didn’t have time to react at all. If you hadn’t lured Andu away, it wouldn’t have been as simple as the house being destroyed.”
“But…”
Wang Xiao still wanted to say something, but Fang Tianyu waved her hand and took out a green quality resource ball.
After blocking the others’ vision with her body, Fang Tianyu whispered, “This is what you gave to the Fang family previously. Grandpa originally planned to find an opportunity to return it to you.”
Wang Xiao hurriedly waved his hand when he heard this. “No, no! This is a gift I’m giving to the Fang family. How can I take it back?”
“Grandpa already knew that you would say this, so this can be considered a thank-you gift from the Fang family.”
Fang Tianyu smiled lightly and suddenly put on a straight face. “If you don’t accept it, don’t come to the Fang family in the future.”
“…Alright.”
Wang Xiao smiled bitterly and reached out to take it. Although he had never planned to take advantage of his connection to the Fang family, there was no harm in building a good relationship with a large family.
Seeing that Wang Xiao finally accepted it, Fang Tianyu also put away her feigned anger and revealed a faint smile again. She said to everyone, “I’m really sorry. We originally invited everyone to attend the banquet, but it’s not convenient for the Fang family to entertain guests now. I can only ask everyone to go back first.”
Everyone waved their hands to express their understanding. Then, they bade farewell and left one after another. The originally lively banquet had suddenly come to an end.
