One person: A fusion of Kizaru, the king of the trash-talking gang.

Under Ma Xianhong's witness, Jiang Bailan and Zhuge Qing subjected Wang Ye to an atrocity that lasted for an hour, until they stomped out the fire in his crotch before stopping their actions.

"What a hearty battle!"

"Yeah... I didn't expect Old Wang to be so stoic, he didn't utter a sound!"

Wang Ye: I'll fuck your mother!

Upon hearing Jiang Bailan and Zhuge Qing's words, Ma Xianhong, who had been watching their antics the whole time, showed an extremely horrified expression.

Be nice!

Are you two even human?

The other party wanted to say something, but did you give them a chance?

Ma Xianhong looked down at Wang Ye, whose mouth was stuffed with mud, whose legs were charred black, and who had fallen into a coma. He couldn't help but wonder if inviting Zhuge Qing to Biyou Village was really a good thing.

Judging by that stance, that level of skill, and that speed at which he immediately went into action... the opponent doesn't seem like a good person!

Thinking of this, Ma Xianhong glanced at Wang Ye again, feeling that the two of them would definitely have a lot in common and might even be able to form an anti-Jiang Bailan alliance.

With their own Divine Craftsmanship and Wang Ye's Mad Queen's Mysterious Techniques, the two of them will surely be able to create a perfect Body Refinement Furnace to replicate Jiang Bailan's supernatural abilities.

Then, I'll let this guy taste my power.

"Old Qing, when did you get here?" After dealing with the clueless Wang Ye, Jiang Bailan rubbed the black stains from the soles of his shoes on the other man before looking at Zhuge Qing and asking.

Although they knew in their hearts that it was Ma Xianhong who invited them to Biyou Village, they still had to ask him about it on the surface.

"Me?" Zhuge Qing followed suit, rubbing the sole of his shoe against Wang Ye, and then said, "Old Wang, I don't know, but I was invited by Master Ma."

Zhuge Qing then briefly described the situation, but concealed his true thoughts.

When Zhuge Qing said he came because of his curiosity about the Ruhua puppet, Jiang Bailan didn't expose his little scheme and nodded in agreement.

"Old Jiang, didn't you go on vacation? How come you're in Biyou Village?" Zhuge Qing asked, his eyes narrowed into slits.

Although Ma Xianhong had already told him, Zhuge Qing was still very curious.

Who exactly is Chen Duo?

Is it really worth Jiang Bailan making a special trip to Biyou Village?

Listening to Zhuge Qing's question and noticing the curiosity in his tone, Jiang Bailan knew that this guy was starting to gossip again, and she didn't intend to hide anything...

After all, Chen Duo's matter wasn't exactly a secret.

Even compared to Old Ma's cultivation furnace that can turn ordinary people into extraordinary beings, they are nothing more than a kitten, insignificant.

"Old Qing, you're probably going to be disappointed. There's no gossip here. I'm only here for some special reasons."

Jiang Bailan briefly recounted her experience of coming to Biyou Village.

After hearing Jiang Bailan's words, Zhuge Qing, who had no part in the gossip, stroked his chin and said calmly, "Old Jiang, you and that Chen Duo really have nothing to do with each other. This isn't like you..."

indeed!

Jiang Bailan did not refute Zhuge Qing's words, because the other party was not wrong. Given his usual relationship with Chen Duo, there was indeed no need for him to make a special trip to Biyou Village.

But it's different if you look at it from Liao Zhong's perspective.

Although Liao Zhong's two-week pleasant trip to Guangzhou was to repay her for finding Chen Duo, Jiang Bailan also truly felt the other party's sincerity.

In addition, they later sent themselves local specialties.

In Jiang Bailan's view, Liao Zhong was a good friend; otherwise, the first thing he would do upon arriving in Guangzhou would not have been to invite him to dinner.

It was precisely because of this friendship that Jiang Bailan came to Biyou Village, giving Chen Duo a choice...

But it's just a choice...

As for what Chen Duo will do in the end, that's not something Jiang Bailan should worry about...

Faced with further questioning, Jiang Bailan simply explained her thoughts. Zhuge Qing nodded in agreement, feeling that this was in line with Jiang Bailan's personality.

Although he is greedy and lazy, he is not the kind of heartless and ungrateful person.

Or rather, if the other party didn't come to Biyou Village to give Chen Duo a choice, Zhuge Qing would feel that this was abnormal.

Ma Xianhong listened to the conversation between the two, but this time he did not refute Jiang Bailan as he had done in the Yangcheng morning tea shop, because the other party had already done more than enough.

He may not know what choices Jiang Bailan gave Chen Duo, but it certainly wasn't a bad one.

Like Zhuge Qing, in Ma Xianhong's eyes, Jiang Bailan, although a bit irritable, was definitely not a bad person, otherwise he would not have brought him back to Biyou Village.

ha--!

Jiang Bailan yawned, her eyes welling up with tears, and waved her hand, saying, "Old Qing, I'm leaving Old Wang in your care. Remember to call me when it's time to eat; I'm going to sleep a little longer..."

After saying that, without waiting for Zhuge Qing's agreement, he found a patch of grass, put his head under his hands, and continued to snore.

Zhuge Qing: "..."

Ma Xianhong: "..."

They ate and slept, slept and ate. The two said this was very much like Jiang Bailan. He possessed such great power, yet he still lived a carefree and unassuming life. It was probably only him who could do that.

Thinking of this, Zhuge Qing shook his head and dragged Wang Ye by one leg toward the village.

Ma Xianhong also gave Jiang Bailan a meaningful look, then ignored her and turned to chase after Zhuge Qing.

huh~~

Not long after, the sound of someone sleeping soundly could be heard from the grass outside the village.

-

"Master Ma, what is this?"

Inside Biyou Village, outside a messy room filled with saws, hammers, axes, and other tools, with a dozen or so beautiful puppets bustling about, resembling a construction site, Zhuge Qing uttered a soul-searching question.

He didn't understand why Ma Xianhong had brought him here.

Didn't we say we were going to see the body-repairing furnace?

It seems like they want him to work illegally.

In response to Zhuge Qing's question, Ma Xianhong coughed twice and then said calmly, "Brother Zhuge, as you can see, my cultivation furnace has encountered a problem and is currently being repaired."

Zhuge Qing: "???"

Accident?

repair?

Zhuge Qing pondered for a long time, but he couldn't find a trace of the furnace. Could it be that Biyou Village had already mastered the void technology and was carrying out void repairs?

Void Technology?

I'll give you that empty space my ass!

Zhuge Qing saw through Ma Xianhong's intentions and immediately asked, "Master Ma, you didn't bring me here just so I could help you repair the furnace, did you?"

"Ahem, Brother Zhuge, if you don't mind, I would be very grateful..." Ma Xianhong replied without changing his expression when he heard Zhuge Qing's question.

Zhuge Qing: "..."

Are you crazy, or am I crazy?

I traveled all the way to Biyou Village, without even having a hot meal, just for this? Just to fix this broken stove for you?

Without a second thought, Zhuge Qing turned and headed out the door.

Repair it! I'll repair you, my foot!

I think you, Ma Xianhong, need some work-study!

nerve!
