The Time Traveling Anchor and Her Eight Hundred Fence-Sitters

Zhao Mianmian ran away, holding the stolen chicken leg, and ran away with a "whoosh".

She ran, cried, and complained madly in her heart, and pink comments kept popping up on the public screen:

[Ahhh, no, is this person sick? ]

[I am only three years old, three years old, three years old! ! ]

[He actually asked a three-year-old child to pay back the money for the father she had never met? ! ! ]

[Or five thousand taels? ? ]

[Does he have any humanity? ! ! ! ]

Zhao Mianmian had no idea about the currency in this world, but that didn't stop her from blatantly refusing to pay her debts by relying on her young age.

In other words, Zhao Mianmian simply didn't want to admit this mess.

A mysterious Xuanlin Guard, as soon as they spoke, said that her father owed a debt of five thousand taels and wanted her to pay it back. Did he really think she was a three-year-old child who was easy to bully? !

Zhao Mianmian had tears in her eyes and was howling loudly. She deliberately ran a long circle in and out of the dilapidated temple with her short legs. After waking up all the people brought by Xie Chen, she threw herself into Dong Zhu's arms with a wronged look, looking "frightened".

"Boss, what are you doing..." A Xuanlin Guard came up to ask with good intentions (gossip), but was driven away by Xie Chen in a bad mood.

Xie Chen: "Go away, go away, why bother with so much, just go to sleep."

Xie Chen stood there for a while with a raised smile. After Zhao Mianmian calmed down, he put his hands behind his back and wandered aimlessly out of the temple.

**

There was a man standing in the woods outside the ruined temple. He was wearing a black martial arts uniform and a small gold-plated crown on his head. He stood with his back to Xie Chen.

Although his features could not be seen clearly, when the moonlight penetrated the clouds and filtered through the layers of branches and leaves, falling in patches, it still left a noble and cold aura on him.

The man in black was not wearing a mask, but he was low-key and stern. Except for the horse he rode, no one could recognize that he was the man who had just been caught by Zhao Mianmian and called "brother" among the Xuanlin Guards.

Xie Chen clasped his fists and saluted behind the man, instantly suppressing all his sharpness and said respectfully:

"I have done my test as you instructed. This Miss Zhao looks a little abnormal, but at heart she is still a three-year-old kid. She will be in trouble if you use some tricks on her."

"It's probably because his parents died when he was young and he was raised by an old lady, which made him soft-tempered and not cry-worthy, which makes him look a little different."

Xie Chen did not elaborate on the process of testing Zhao Mianmian. He knew that the person in front of him would not care about those details at all given his status.

What he had to do was to provide valuable information in a concise and clear manner for the visitor to make a decision.

As Xie Chen finished speaking, the man turned his head and smiled faintly, "She has a soft personality and doesn't like to cry... Is this the conclusion you came to?"

Xie Chen reflected that he had a unique vision and was very good at judging people, otherwise he would not have been able to stand out from so many Xuanlin Guards and reach his current position.

But the visitor's light question, without even showing any blame or dissatisfaction, made him sweat profusely, and instantly tightened the string called "danger" in his mind.

Xie Chen lowered his head and frowned, carefully recalling the process of testing Zhao Mianmian. After confirming that he had not missed any details, he raised his head again and asked the visitor cautiously and humbly:

"My Lord, but...what's the problem?"

This time, the man standing in front of him did not say anything, but waved his hand and quickly changed the subject.

"How is the matter of the Xiling Nine Star Map going?"

The man standing in front of Xie Chen spoke again, no longer talking about the Zhao family's only child, but changed the subject and talked about another matter.

When Xie Chen saw that he had brought up something serious, he immediately became extremely alert.

"I'm afraid there will be some trouble. The news said that the last place where the Xiling Nine Stars Map appeared was in Jinliang, but when Lao Qian took people to look for it, it was too late. Hongxiu Villa had been deserted half a month ago. Not to mention the Xiling Nine Stars Map, not even a ghost was seen!"

Xie Chen's eyes darkened slightly, his brows were solemn, and his tone became serious involuntarily.

"There are more than a hundred people in Hongxiu Villa. No matter how strange it is, it is impossible for them to disappear overnight."

"Besides, with so many people, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating are not simple matters. It is impossible that there will be no traces at all. You can ask Lao Qian to pay attention to the surrounding towns to see if there are any large-scale purchases or farmers who have not appeared for several days. If you follow this line of thought, you may find a breakthrough."

The visitor stopped at the point, and after Xie Chen got the hint, his eyes lit up, and he immediately had a general idea of ​​the deployment in his mind.

But "looking for someone" didn't seem to be their purpose. The man in black paused and continued:

"In addition to Hongxiu Villa, there are several places around Jinliang that need to be explored. When things here are over, you can go there in person. Don't count too much on Lao Qian."

"It's best if you find the things. If you can't find them, don't leave any trouble. Get rid of everything that should be kept and shouldn't be kept."

The moonlight followed the cold wind from the mountain forest and fell on the slightly raised corners of the visitor's mouth. Xie Chen did not dare to look up at all. He just stared at his toes and clenched his teeth and said a heavy word:

"Yes."

The two people in the forest were silent for a moment.

A moment later, the man in black whistled to call his mount and mounted it with swift movements.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Xie Chen quickly asked for instructions:

"Then this Miss Zhao..."

Hearing Xie Chen mention Zhao Mianmian, the man holding the reins paused. Just when Xie Chen thought he was going to say "You decide for yourself" again, the man on horseback spoke:

"Spread the news and let the He family come pick them up themselves."

"As for Xu Chuan, you should show up. It would be bad to let his descendants be bullied by a bunch of scoundrels."

There was a hint of smile in the man's voice, but it was not very obvious. Before Xie Chen could even figure out the deeper meaning behind the smile, it was blown away by the cold night wind and disappeared completely.

"I know what to do now."

Xie Chen clasped his fists and accepted the order.

As soon as his voice fell, the man and horse who had been standing in the forest rushed into the night, and in a moment, they disappeared into the empty nothingness.

At this moment, Zhao Mianmian was sleeping soundly in Dong Zhu's arms, completely unaware that her fate was about to change drastically because of one person...
