This brave man is a scumbag

Chapter 116 I am here
What is a banquet?
"What do you think?"

After Elma asked Zhou Li this question, Zhou Li didn't answer. He shook the wine glass in his hand lightly and threw the question to Ivy who was doing nothing.

"Vanity Fair, anyway, at least it is the bond between nobles."

Maintaining the elegance and demeanor of aristocrats, but with a bored face, Ivy put down his wine glass, looked at Azi and Ain who were surrounded by the crowd, and said with a chuckle: "Communicate, show off, communicate, and show off your financial resources. This kind of Isn’t that what banquets are all about? Once or twice you feel interesting, once there are more, there is only a sense of emptiness.”

The lights in the banquet venue were slightly dimmed, and the nobles on the dance floor danced to the music.The incense condensed by magic will not dissipate, filling the whole hall with a luxurious atmosphere.As the representative of the Zisha Chamber of Commerce, Ah Zi was serious in the banquet today. Her indifferent expression coupled with her petite and cute appearance attracted the love of all the female nobles.Surrounded by so many rouge vulgar fans, she leaned against Linghai as if asking for help, but anyone who knew her well knew that this was just a little cunning of hers.

"Are you so worried about your sister?"

Zhou Li pinched Elma's small nose, snatched the concentrated fruit wine she put in her mouth, then took a bottle of juice from the side and handed it to her.Zhou Li looked at Ain who was under the spotlight not far away, and asked Aiwei who was beside him with a little ease.

At this time, Ain was negotiating with a group of nobles on behalf of the Ayer Chamber of Commerce. Although Ain, who was dressed in a black and white maid uniform, seemed not sociable, sometimes he always flashed a cute panic, but it was because of this that people Let your guard down with this girl.

"of course."

Ai Wei smiled, leaning against the window sill, watching the lovely girl who had been with him for several years, and said with a little emotion: "Ai Yin is more suitable for the position of president of the Ayer Chamber of Commerce than I am, whether it is business acumen or interpersonal relationship. In terms of dating, I can't compare to her."

"You are wrong."

Zhou Li stroked the hair of Elma, who was drinking fruit juice in anger, and then said to Ivy with a smile: "Although you are not as good as your sister in terms of business acumen and interpersonal communication, you can compare the Elma Chamber of Commerce Operating for so many years is not a matter of luck.”

Hearing this, Ai Wei was taken aback.In fact, he had never heard encouragement from anyone in his life.After all, in his family, whether it's his own sister Ai Lei or the picked younger sister Ain, they have hit him in all directions since he was a child.From childhood to adulthood, the sentence Ive heard the most is "Why can't you learn from your sister/sister?"

He never heard the approval of others.

"Ivy, I'll give you a choice."

Zhou Li's voice woke up Ai Wei who was in a trance.He looked at the young man who had just played a crazy game with the emperor, with puzzlement in his eyes.

"I can tell you one thing." Zhou Li stretched out a finger, stared at Ai Wei, and said solemnly: "What I want to do in the future is very risky, so big that even the identity of a brave man can't face it Wait. You tripped Goblin Farmhouse before, but those were normal business methods, and you didn’t do anything out of the ordinary, so I don’t blame you.”

"After that, you risked your life to help me deliver the black powder. This alone is enough to make up for your previous mistakes."

Zhou Li looked at Ivy with a solemn expression and a very serious tone: "Then I will give you the last chance to choose now. If you choose to quit now, you are still the president of the Ayer Chamber of Commerce. I will still keep the shares you gave me. In the future, I will You don’t need to participate in the plan, you can develop your chamber of commerce honestly.”

"Or, keep following me."

Zhou Li no longer looked at Ivy, that would give him a sense of oppression.He stared at all kinds of figures on the dance floor indifferently, and said nothing.

Ai Wei was silent for a long time, he looked at the wine glass beside him, and then at Ain who was surrounded by the crowd.After a while, Ivy stretched out his hand and summoned Kaya who was led by Linghai and Ah Zi to eat cake not far away.

"Go and call your sister Ain over."

Kaya nodded, then took the napkin and wiped the cream on her cheeks, and ran to Ain's side staggeringly.She took Ain's hand and said something to her on tiptoe. Ain said a few polite words to the people around him apologetically, and then he and Kaya walked quickly to Aiwei's side.

"what happened?"

Looking at the dazed Zhou Li, Ain just asked a question, then suddenly realized, and quickly took out a platinum badge engraved with deer patterns.

"I, Ai Lei, and Ain each have one of the eternal tokens of the Aiur Chamber of Commerce. Kaya, I left one for him, and Ain will give this to Miss Ai Luma."

Ain handed the badge to Erma, looking at the small and exquisite platinum badge in his hand, Eroma let out a wow, and then looked at Zhou Li beside him with a pair of big watery eyes, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"It suits you quite well."

Zhou Li patted Elma's head, and then stopped talking about the choice. He and Aiwei smiled at each other, and the wonderful tacit understanding between the two men made Ain at the side confused.

"By the way, where's Maeve?"

At this time, Zhou Li remembered the red-haired Yujie, and asked Ain curiously: "Why didn't I see her? And Ms. Christine, I want to thank her in person .”

"The two of them... uh uh..."

As soon as she mentioned these two people, Ain's whole body froze, and then she looked out of the window erratically, and said a little shyly: Well, I only found out yesterday that Duke Christine has not been married for so many years, it seems that it is because of her, that orientation , quite special..."

"Duke Christine, I like girls."

Elma on the side let out a small exclamation when she heard the words, her face was blushed.Zhou Li's hand holding the wine glass paused, he coughed twice, and said to Ain: "You tell Maeve that there's no need to wrong yourself, you're just a duke, we don't need to pay such a big price."

"Uh-huh?"

At first Ain wanted to nod in response, but after hearing the second half of Zhou Li's words, she huh?He let out a sigh, and then said to Zhou Li with a little embarrassment: "Um, Mr. Zhou Li, I didn't mean that. Duke Christine just asked Miss Maeve to accompany her to meet her blind date and give her a staff. "

"Ugh."

Hearing this, the expression on Zhou Li's face became more profound. Facing the bewildered Ain, he clicked his tongue twice and said, "Well, you can just tell her, and don't worry about the rest. She decides for herself."

"Okay, I'll go to Miss Azi first. She wants to introduce me to two financial representatives. I'll tell Maeve what you want."

Although he was at a loss, Ain still accepted the task.She walked to Ivy's side, pinched his waist secretly, and told Ivy not to play with the curtains with a smile on her face.Then she held the hand of Kaya who was reluctant to part with the cake, and walked towards Ah Zi.

After introducing her contacts to Ain, Ah Zi immediately cheered up and waved to Kaya: "Little Kaya is back~"

As the younger and taller Ah Zi in the original team of heroes, Kaya, who is younger than her, is especially fond of her.When she saw Kaya next to Ain, a smile appeared on Ah Zi's dizzy face, which was originally smothered by the smell of perfume. happily said to her:

"Is the cake delicious? Where is Linghai?"

“Yummy~”

Speaking of cakes, Kaya's eyes suddenly narrowed into a crescent moon, she looked at Ah Zi, and said in a clear voice: "Sister Linghai said that she really can't stay any longer, go outside to get some air, just now Ain was looking for I went to help her get out, but I didn't follow."

"Oh, Linghai is real."

Ah Zi pursed her lips, sighed, and said softly to Kaya: "Your sister Linghai is very bad, and you originally agreed to help me deal with it, but in the end, you dragged you away after a short while. , and now I secretly went out to let the wind go."

"Oh!"

As if awakened by Ah Zi, Kaya said to Ah Zi: "Sister Linghai told me before she left that if Ah Zi speaks ill of her behind her back, let her snap her fingers."

"Ugh?"

AhZi froze for a moment, then subconsciously stretched out her hand and snapped her fingers.

"Hoo!"

Suddenly, Linghai's voice rang in AhZi's ear.Before Ah Zi could react, a familiar arm wrapped around her waist, gently pulling her back.After being pulled into a warm embrace, Ah Zi's nervousness was a little less just now. The next second, Ah Zi's figure disappeared into the hall, and suddenly, a group of people exclaimed.

"Don't mind."

At this time, Zhou Li said, "Continue to play music and dance, don't worry about it."

After hearing the brave man's words, the group of councilors and nobles who were very excited just now fell silent. They looked at Zhou Li's face and continued to talk after realizing the impermanence.

"Miss Linghai asked you to help her lift the void restriction just now for this reason?"

Avery curiously asked Zhou Li on the side, and after getting an affirmative answer, Avery said in amazement: "The relationship between the two of them is so good."

"Yeah..." Zhou Li looked at the full moon outside the window, and said softly to himself, "That's great.",

Call ~
Traveling through space again and again, Linghai walked through the border between clouds and void with Ah Zi in his arms.Feeling the whistling wind beside her ears, Ah Zi narrowed her eyes slightly, admiring the alternately missed scenery of purple space and pure white clouds.

After jumping and shuttling again and again, Ah Zi was gently placed on the roof of the tall building by Ling Hai.Two chairs, a table, and a pot of honey plum wine, Ah Zi's favorite drink.Linghai stood beside Ah Zi with her arms akimbo smiling, her back facing the night decorated with stars and moonlight, she in black dress was like an elegant and mysterious elf leaning against the moonlight, quietly standing in the curtain called night.

"Hey, it's been a long time since I prepared."

Ah Zi looked at the scene in front of her with a sweet smile on her face.She pretended to be indifferent, walked aimlessly, then sat down on the recliner with a puff, patted the chair beside her and said to Linghai:
"Come on, come on."

Linghai shrugged his shoulders, then walked to Ah Zi's side and poured a glass of plum wine for her and himself, holding the glass and slowly sitting on the chair.The two looked at the same starry sky and moonlight together, and the gentle wind blew gently, and the comfortable breath calmed AhZi and Linghai's hearts.

"Haihai, are you panicking?"

After a while, Ah Zi took the lead in breaking the silence.She turned her face to the side and looked at Linghai who was slightly surprised. The crescent moons in her eyes were a little cuter than those in the moonlight: "I'm going to Muqi in a few days, are you nervous?"

Linghai didn't subconsciously speak hard like in the past, she just clenched her hands uneasily and lowered her head to stare at the scattered stars in the cup.After a while, Linghai's trembling voice sounded:
"Ah Zi, I'm a little scared."

Before Ah Zi could speak, Linghai curled up his legs and continued:

"Do you remember my first two missions?"

"Well, of course." Ah Zi nodded. It was because of the two tasks that Linghai accepted that her life would have such a wonderful battle. "One investigates the Goblin Farmhouse, and the other hunts terrifying beasts."

"Do you still remember when Kaya and Ain talked about the void that day, they mentioned the old wolf?"

"The old wolf who saved Ain and Kaya and was finally killed by hunters?"

Seeing Ah Zi, she still remembered the people's conversation at that time. Ling Hai, who was full of thoughts, nodded her head. She took a sip of the sour plum wine, and said in a low voice, "I checked yesterday... that old wolf was the terror I was going to hunt and kill at that time. beast."

"what??"

Ah Zi was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed: "How is it possible? Ain said that the old wolf is a platinum-level horror beast, but your mission is to hunt silver-level beasts..."

Immediately, Ah Zi seemed to think of something, she opened her mouth, a look of astonishment appeared on her face.

"The Shadow Guild doesn't just want to kill Kaya." Seeing Ah Zi's surprise, Ling Hai sighed softly, folded his arms and said softly: "Void hasn't talked to me for a long time, I wanted to ask her about it yesterday. What about that city, but I didn't find her."

Ah Zi didn't know what to say for a moment.She knew that for Linghai, the best thing for her other than herself was the voice of the void.Over the years, the voice of the void has continuously helped Linghai escape the prying and hunting of various forces, helping Linghai like a gentle mother, and enlightening Linghai when her mood is complicated, just like a loving mother.

But when Kaya found the "true void" and noticed the "purple cancer", Linghai was at a loss when he heard the news.She wanted to ask Void directly, but for some reason, the voice of Void no longer spoke to her.Ah Zi knew that Linghai would not care whether the Voice of the Void was a so-called cancer, but she was afraid of losing, afraid of losing her loved ones again.

In Ah Zi's eyes, Linghai, who is several years older than herself, is sometimes a little weaker than herself.Like a child, she has been growing up in the embrace of the void.Suddenly one day, his "mother" suddenly disappeared with a strange life experience that was discovered, no matter how much he called, he never appeared again, this blow to Linghai is self-evident.

Thinking of this, Ah Zi stood up, stepped in front of Ling Hai in two steps, took a deep breath, and gently hugged Ling Hai.

"It's okay, I'm here, we're all here." Ah Zi leaned against Ling Hai's cheek, and said softly, "I will accompany you to find her, and keep looking until you find her."
