"Who are you? I know perfectly well!"
Hiratsuka Shizuka: "Is this a setup to make me take the blame?"
Chapter 713 Is this some kind of grand illusion or disappearance trick?
"Get lost! I know perfectly well who you are, so why are you pretending in front of me?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka then stopped being polite.
“I admit I was worse than you in this respect, but you weren’t much better. We’re evenly matched.”
Hiratsuka Shizuka's assessment of this situation was that everyone was pretty much the same, since no one should criticize anyone else, since everyone was just like that.
Yang Nai was speechless after hearing this.
But doesn't it seem a bit much? Saying things like "we're evenly matched" doesn't apply to me; compared to others, I'm definitely a good girl.
“Xiaojing, I admit to some things, but I absolutely refuse to admit to being equally bad. I’m not like you. Oh, I’m not as outrageous or unreasonable as you.”
Yang Nai said that she could admit to some things, but she would never admit to anything as outrageous as the other party, and she absolutely could not admit to anything, otherwise her image would be ruined. In addition, she said that she really hadn't gone that far; it was the other party who had gone too far.
Lin Qi silently watched the two of them play a dog-eat-dog game, finding it entertaining and enjoyable. He ate peanuts and drank beer while the two exposed each other's secrets, looking like a spectator. The others, not being involved or at the center of the vortex, saw everything clearly. One thought popped into their minds: "This guy is really cunning and quick. He deliberately started the fight and then watched the show from the sidelines."
The same goes for No. 18. After all, strictly speaking, I just like to drink. Compared to beverages, I still feel that alcohol tastes better. Seeing that I can watch the show from the sidelines, why not watch? So, as the person who was named, I also disappeared at this moment.
Lin Qi watched for a while and felt he had seen enough, then disappeared silently. Two years later, when he came to his senses and saw the person who had left, he realized that he had been tricked by some bastard.
The two could only reluctantly continue drinking together, though they secretly thought to themselves that this score wasn't over yet—how dare they scheme against them!
At that moment, Lin Qi brought a plate of cream puffs to Yozakura's house and appeared in the living room, where only Nijō was drinking tea.
"Erren, are you all alone?"
Niba was also a little surprised to see the other party appear with something in their hands.
"The rest have tasks."
"There are only four grievances and seven evils in the house."
"It's highly likely that the rest of the people won't come back during this period; Kyōichirō has run off to a foreign country."
"The rest of the people are rushing to various parts of the country and won't be able to come back for a while."
Erren's words surprised Lin Qi.
"Are you guys that busy?"
"They were fine yesterday, but they just disappeared today. Did all these job orders come at once?"
As a layman, Lynch felt that this situation was a little bit outrageous.
Niba understood what was going on just by looking at the other person's expression.
"It seems you're unfamiliar with this industry."
At this moment, Erren put down his teacup and spoke in a strange tone. After all, he hadn't expected that this person didn't know anything about the industry. He had originally thought that this person knew something about it.
Lin Qi did not deny it after hearing this, and nodded generously.
"I can't deny that I really don't know much about this industry, after all, I never intended to enter it."
"Actually, this is normal. After all, when we get busy, we have to run around everywhere, especially for a company like ours with a good reputation. Many people want to place orders, and we even have business overseas."
"What you usually see is just an occasional situation. Usually, there are people on business trips. In addition, there are people like us who don't necessarily have to take orders. If you don't want to travel too far, you can choose to come to us. Try to choose nearby ones and get it done in one day."
"As for overseas trips, we will only accept those where the pay is enough to make the trip, or where the rewards are good enough to make it worthwhile. If it's not good enough, we will refuse, because we also have the right to refuse."
"However, if we're going overseas, we basically don't accept orders like yours."
Niren added this sentence at this point.
Lin Qi was a little surprised when he heard this, or rather, he didn't understand why.
"why?"
Lin Qi also looked confused at this moment and asked the question.
Lin Qi's face was genuinely puzzled. After all, he hadn't paid attention to these issues, nor was he bothered to, and even felt they weren't things he needed to care about. He hadn't planned to pursue this industry, so he treated many things like stories. Now, hearing that the story seemed to have a slight problem and something was amiss, he suddenly became curious.
Seeing the other person's bewildered expression, Niba seemed to understand something and asked a question.
"With your abilities, shouldn't you be able to find out easily? Don't you really know anything about this?"
Lin Qi felt a mix of amusement and exasperation at this moment.
"I'm too lazy to find out. For me, all I need to do is ensure the safety of the people around me. I can't be bothered with anything else."
"So there are many things I don't know about the ins and outs. If I really want to know and no one is going to tell me, I'll use my own abilities when my thirst for knowledge is at its peak. But I usually don't, because life would be too boring."
Niba was speechless after hearing this, and could only say that he had the power to be willful.
"You really can do whatever you want just because you have the power."
At this moment, Niren commented on the other party's behavior, saying, "Isn't this just doing whatever you want because you have strength? It's just willful behavior."
Lin Qi didn't refute what the other party said. After all, that's the kind of person he is. If you have the ability, you do it this way. If you don't have the ability, you wouldn't dare to do it this way.
"I can't refute that statement, but isn't that normal? I have absolute confidence in my abilities."
"After all, if you're in danger, as long as I'm in this world, I can sense it and rush over immediately. You know that, don't you?"
After saying this, Lin Qi glanced at the ring in the other person's hand, which he had concealed with the illusion.
Chapter 714 Have you ever thought about what it would be like if you liked someone?
Lin Qi glanced at the other person's ring. No one except himself could tell that it was half missing, and it was the kind that was worn on his own hand.
Erren, of course, noticed the other person's gaze and knew what the other person was looking at. Thinking of this, he felt helpless. After all, some things had already happened, and there was nothing he could say. The key point was that his other half was the kind that he could never get back.
However, I couldn't help but retort after hearing what the other person said.
"You do have the ability, but the cost and reward for your actions are too high."
Although Erren didn't explain it clearly at this point, those who knew understood what he meant, and they also felt from the bottom of their hearts that this guy was the real shrewd businessman.
After all, the compensation he would have to pay after asking for help was a bit too high. In fact, he never imagined that he would have to pay such a high price after asking for help, a price that would cost him his entire life.
Lin Qi smiled after hearing the other party's cryptic remark.
"Oh dear, I only gave you a lifetime package because I knew my appearance fee was expensive."
Two blades:. . .
Looking at the man's hearty smile, Erren had to admit that the other man's shamelessness was truly shameless.
"Should I thank you for offering me this lifetime package?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qi immediately showed a clear expression and waved his hand.
"No need, no need, there's no need for that."
"This is a special discount I gave to my sister-in-law."
When Erren heard the words "sister-in-law," he almost lost his composure and even considered throwing the person away. However, considering the difference in their combat power across dimensions, he reminded himself not to do so, otherwise, he would definitely be the one who suffered.
After all, the absolute difference in combat power between the two was obvious, and doing so would have resulted in a huge loss for him. So he knew in his heart that he absolutely could not do that, and he held back, preventing himself from doing something so irrational.
"Could you please stop calling me those three words?"
"Darling? Wife? Er'er? Blade?"
Niji's lips twitched slightly when he heard these titles. Although they seemed like affectionate terms, they sounded a bit strange to him. They were not titles he should have.
"Stop using those four terms. If outsiders hear about Liu Mei's side, I won't be able to explain myself right now."
"Just call me Erren, and reject everything else."
To prevent this person from making any more shocking statements, Erren made the decision directly.
Lin Qi didn't care that the other party made the decision and had veto power, since it was up to them and he couldn't say anything.
"Okay, okay, you're the boss, what you say goes."
"These days, nobody calls someone 'husband' in private anymore, honey. Come listen to this."
At that moment, Lin Qi instantly teleported to the other person's side, placed his hand on the other person's waist, and spoke with a smile.
Niren realized that the person was beside him, and upon hearing these words, his hand holding the cup trembled slightly.
He then put down the teacup and looked at Lin Qi expressionlessly.
"You've gone too far."
Lin Qi noticed a hint of shyness hidden beneath the other person's calm demeanor, and he had to admit it was quite attractive.
"Where did I go too far? I just wanted to satisfy my own desire."
"So what if nobody shouts here? Just grant my wish."
"After all, the ring is with me. Even if we don't shout it out openly, what's wrong with saying it out in private?"
Nijō was speechless after hearing this. How dare he bring up the ring like that?
“If it were a normal way of giving a ring, it would be fine for me to say this, but is this normal? You know, I need some time to be convinced before I can say this.”
At this moment, Erren spoke in a speechless tone, saying that since this person thought so much about him, he should at least give him some time.
It's only been a short time. You already think you're so great? You're not Liu Mei.
So I can't shout with that kind of emotional voice for the time being, so I need some time.
Seeing the other person's appearance, Lin Qi couldn't help but ask a question.
"Emmm, although I have a problem on my end, I have a question I'd like to ask you..."
"Just ask?"
Niren was a little confused about what the other party wanted to ask.
There's really nothing that Nijō doesn't know that he needs to ask this person.
"Have you ever imagined a scenario where you might fall in love with someone, or rather, have you actually fallen in love with someone?"
At this moment, Lin Qi asked this rather presumptuous question.
Niba fell silent after hearing this. After all, as the second child in the family, even Mutsumi was already an adult, and he was not young anymore. Normally speaking, he should have a boyfriend to talk about marriage with, but the problem was that he didn't have one, and he didn't even have such thoughts. So he also fell silent after hearing this.
Niren has to admit that this question was a bit too pointed.
