On the Seven Towers

After Gano left, Xiao Chen welcomed his second guest.

Tasia walked into Xiao Chen's study and sat on the sofa where Ganou had just been. Her face did not have the usual coldness at all, but showed an unconcealable look of worry: "The Temple of Nature has been very uneasy recently. It can even be said that it is... There is a lot of confusion. Our family members can’t figure out what they are up to, but there are some clues that it is related to you. I am a little worried, afraid that they will take action against you... us. "

Xiao Chen was a little touched. This girl really considered the issue from their standpoint. No matter what the original intention was, at least at this time of crisis, there was no retreat at all. He showed a smile and said: "Don't worry too much. I have contacted Priest Roland since you helped me connect last time, and we have reached an agreement on dealing with the Shadow Group."

"Don't use these diplomatic rhetoric with me. Tell me what they are going to do and what you are going to do." Tasia's gray eyes stared at Xiao Chen's eyes.

"Okay." Xiao Chen told her the information Gano gave him.

"Are you going to lure them out and lead them into your trap? Is this your plan?"

"The essence of a strategy is to mobilize the opponent's power so that our power exceeds that of the opponent in a local environment. The simpler the strategy, the easier it is to succeed. Those conspiracies that seem to be interlocking will be destroyed as long as one link goes wrong. Everything is lost," Xiao Chen said.

"But what if they were not lured away by you and still attacked your residence according to the original plan?"

"The defensive forces here are really not afraid of their surprise attack if they are well prepared, but I don't want to be involved with the huge casualties of the Shadow Regiment. If a large number of their manpower is lost here, it will not be hidden from so many eyes in the capital. Many subsequent things will be difficult to handle." Xiao Chen thought of the one who used to be Ye Zi's mentor and stayed here every day, but spent most of his time in the cafeteria, and said, "You. Don't worry, we can influence their command level. Besides, if we want to lure them away, we must have a tempting bait, and that is me. Everyone knows that I am the person in charge in this house. Catch me, more than anything else."

"What?" Tasia jumped up from the chair, walked to Xiao Chen's desk in two steps, put her hands on the table, glared at Xiao Chen and said angrily: "You decided to make the bait yourself? Go ahead. What a joke? Do you know how important you are to the revival of the Seven Saint Towers? You are the descendant of the Seven Towers with the highest cultivation level! How dare you put yourself in such a dangerous situation!

"Don't get excited, Tasia, I think the iceberg goddess style is more suitable for you. If you have anything to say, you can say it slowly, your saliva is going to spray on my face." Xiao Chen said against the back of the chair.

Tasia was unmoved at all, "I mean, how can you be sure to deal with so many assassins? If you want to attract them to follow you, you can't possibly shout in front of them and bring all the guards, right? What if they are on the way? What should I do if I catch up with you?”

"Since I want to lure a snake out of its hole, how can I not take any risks? Besides, there will be someone on the other side to help me."

"no!"

"This is the best way."

"If you must go, then let me go with you!"

"Aren't you putting two eggs in one basket?"

"Even if it is an egg, I am a golden egg and you are a native egg."

"What are you talking about? It hurts your self-esteem."

"There is no one in the entire king who can't help but buy the Alonso family's face. If you and I are together, even in the worst situation, there will be some room for maneuver."

"But isn't it strange that you appear next to me?"

"Then just try to find a suitable reason."

————————————————————

After seeing off Tasia, Xiao Chen came to the cafeteria. The cafeteria should have been empty at this time, but he saw Mei huddled alone on the window sill with a bowl of fried beans on her lap and throwing them into her mouth one by one. She looked out the window, where Ye Zi was practicing spear skills outside.

In the middle of winter, she was wearing a Ye Zi dress. The cold wind blew from outside, blowing the tips of her black hair and the hem of her skirt. If she didn't have a pair of golden eyes, she would be really pretty. Like a schoolgirl taking a nap on the windowsill.

Mei saw Xiao Chen coming in and said, "I know what you asked me to do?"

"Um?"

"Isn't it just to protect this place these two days?"

"You're quite smart." Xiao Chen touched his nose, "Now that I've guessed it, do you think it's okay?"

"You're not Ye Zi, why should I help you?"

"After we're done, a big meal."

"Who do you think I am? So cheap..."

"Three meals."

"Just kidding, I think back then..."

"Five meals."

"..."

"If you don't agree, there's no chance. At worst, I'll ask Roland or Master Kona."

Mei seemed to think that agreeing like this was too cheap. She rolled her golden eyes and said, "For your pity, I can help you, but you have to pass my test."

"test?"

Mei smiled, grabbed a handful of fried beans, and threw them at Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows, and all the beans stopped in the air. Then they flew in an interlaced manner, forming a smiling face, which flew towards Mei. However, it was difficult to move forward when it was halfway through its flight. All the beans scattered, drawing strange arcs in the air, and greeted Xiao Chen's head and face. It seemed that the beans were going to drill into his collar and cuffs.

Xiao Chen knew that Mei was playing a joke on him, and he secretly became competitive. His mental power was divided into strands, and he began to compete with Mei for the control of each bean.

Although Mei's realm was higher than his, and it was said that she had reached the peak of the high level, and her mental power was more concentrated, but if compared with the total amount of mental power and the ability to split the mind, she was really no match for Xiao Chen, a modern person who practiced the dream travel method. Mei used about twenty threads to control the beans, while Xiao Chen used a full fifty spiritual threads to deal with her. Mei's one thread would be besieged by two or three threads of Xiao Chen, and often two threads would entangle Mei's thread, and the remaining one would steal the beans.

Xiao Chen used his own method to treat the person, and the beans rushed into the collar of Mei's dress.

But when the beans were only half a foot away from Mei, she burst out with a bright fighting spirit, and she forcibly isolated Xiao Chen's beans from her body. Xiao Chen pushed his mental power hard, but although his mental power slightly broke through the fighting spirit, the beans could not advance an inch in the fighting spirit of the high-level warrior. Mei blinked at Xiao Chen, her expression full of provocation. She opened her cherry lips slightly and silently made a "Come again if you have the guts." mouth shape.

Xiao Chen smiled secretly in his heart. This kind of fighting spirit protection can indeed consume the mental power of the nearby. Other magicians may not be able to do anything when encountering this trick, but for someone like him whose mental power is as vast as the sea, how could he be afraid of such consumption? A dozen mental threads were combined into a thicker long whip, which was rotated and rushed into the fighting spirit, aiming at her armpits.

Mei obviously underestimated Xiao Chen's explosive power. Her body-protecting fighting spirit had been maintained at a very low level, so Xiao Chen took advantage of the loophole and was broken through by the mental whip in an instant.

Mei's face froze, and then she couldn't help but arch her back and laughed out loud. At this time, the fighting spirit on her body dissipated, and all the beans fell on her. She laughed for a full three or four seconds until she rolled off the windowsill and got rid of Xiao Chen's mental harassment.

She shook off the beans on her body and looked at Xiao Chen angrily.

"This... seems like I won?"

Mei sneered: "Did I tell you how to compete?"

"Big sister, don't cheat like this."

"You told me you cheated? Did I cheat?!"

"No, no?"

"Take out real money as my hiring fee, plus ten meals, or no deal!" Mei tossed her skirt, leaving Xiao Chen with the back of her head, but she couldn't help but curl her lips, and she strode out of the cafeteria. She left several beans along the way.
