Fighting Break Sphere: My Days as a Tutor at Canaan College

Chapter 154 Boy, You're in Trouble

The sound hits the ears.

Liu Xi shuddered subconsciously, then forced a smile on his face, slowly turned around, and said:

"Mr. Ling, why are you here again... ahem, why are you here again?"

"Hey, it seems like you're not very welcoming to my arrival?"

Black fog was swirling in the corner, and Ling Ying walked out from it.

"How could it be! Mr. Ling, I dare to guarantee that the situation you are talking about does not exist! Come, Mr. Ling, have a cigarette. If there is anything, we can talk while smoking..."

As he spoke, Liu Xi took out a pack of cigarettes from his storage ring and shook out two cigarettes. He put one in his mouth and handed the other to Ling Ying.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Liu Xi seemed to see that the moment Ling Ying took out the cigarette, his face under the mask trembled slightly?
"Haha, no problem, no problem. It's rare that you are so understanding. If you are still as treacherous and indifferent to me as you were this morning, I don't know what happened to you last night... Hehe."

Ling Ying was in a very happy mood after taking the cigarette, but halfway through his words, his tone became threatening.

The reason for this, apart from having some calculations of his own, was mainly because he had not forgotten what his young lady had told him when he came here.

Knock, knock, willow chair!

Since it's a beating, then of course you can't always have a pleasant face, right?
Otherwise, how could he come here to have any effect?
He could still distinguish the priorities in some matters. It was true that he coveted the cigarettes, but he also had to "complete" what the lady asked him to do.

He knew very well that his young lady had been living in the Xiao family since she was a child, and the family's purpose was obviously not simple.

When the Xiao family was glorious in the past, it was ranked as one of the eight ancient clans, just like their ancient clan. Now that it has declined, in addition to their ancient clan, several other ancient clans are still continuing to pay proper attention to it.

The purpose of coming here to warn Liu Xi was to ensure that in the days ahead, Wutan City, where the Xiao family was located, would avoid any major disturbances or noise, because this would likely draw the attention of other ancient families and the identity of their young lady would likely be exposed.

In the past, several ancient families had signed an agreement that the Xiao family could pay attention, but could not send anyone to contact them directly.

As he was just a small guard, he had no idea why such an agreement was signed.

But over the past ten years, he has often been by Xiao Xun'er's side, serving as her protector, and he also serves as the messenger for some information from the clan.

Therefore, over time, he actually passively learned a lot of secrets.

My young lady has been sent to the Xiao family and has been staying there for more than ten years, apparently for something passed down from the Xiao family's ancestors.

Of course, what that thing is, the young lady has not got it for more than ten years, so he naturally has no way of knowing. He only vaguely feels and guesses that it may be because of that thing that several ancient families signed such an agreement, for the sake of balance between each other?
In short, this concerns whether the clan's plan can continue, as well as the risk of his young lady's identity being exposed. He cannot be careless about the warning to Liu Xi.

ba da~
A cloud of gray-white smoke slowly came out of his mouth.

Ling Ying had a blank expression on his face beneath the black iron mask.

He was about to finish his cigarette. During this time, under Ling Ying's intentionally teasing gaze, Liu Xi was already feeling uneasy. He asked him several times in a roundabout way why he came here to find him.

However, after Ling Ying lit the cigarette, he had no intention of speaking again, let alone answering his questions.

"Damn it! You're smoking my cigarette and still have this attitude! Go ahead and smoke, I'll kill you if I can't smoke you!"

Liu Xi kept complaining in his heart.

However, what he didn't know was that although Ling Ying intentionally didn't treat him well, she didn't deliberately leave him alone.

Because he came here to warn him. If he doesn't make his purpose clear, he won't understand and won't know why he was being warped. After that, he will continue to be restless in Wutan City, causing all kinds of trouble and noise. If it doesn't work, then wouldn't it be a waste of his coming here to warn him?

The reason why Ling Ying didn't speak was that he was "reluctant" to speak while smoking!
Ling Ying had discovered before that as long as a cigarette is lit, no matter whether you smoke it or not, as long as it is not extinguished, the cigarette will always be burning and consumed, it’s just a matter of speed.

It was this discovery that made Ling Ying basically avoid doing other "unnecessary" things when smoking, including talking to people.

Having said that, it’s a good thing that Liu Xi didn’t know that Ling Ying didn’t speak for this reason.

If he knew, he would probably spit out blood!

Bro...can't we be a little bit short of that?
what? !

Not long after, when Ling Ying's cigarette was smoked to the point where it could no longer be smoked and only a real "cigarette butt" was left, Liu Xi saw that he did not throw the cigarette butt away, but... put it into his storage ring?

Yes, Liu Xi promised that he was not dazzled!
Well, how long has it been since he learned to smoke?

How come you've developed the habit of collecting cigarette butts so quickly?

Today he really...got into trouble.

"Little Liu Xi, let me tell you the truth, you are in big trouble!"

Under the mask, Ling Ying had a serious look on his face.

"Big deal??? Elder Ling, you know I'm a timid kid, don't lie to me."

Hearing this, Liu Xi first cooperated by widening his eyes, then his expression changed.

"..."

Seeing this, the "threatening" words that Ling Ying had originally prepared for Liu Xi suddenly froze in his throat and couldn't come out.

He couldn't actually control this little bastard?
Does he have to be forced to use force?
Thinking of this, he was somewhat moved.

In his opinion, any problem that can be solved by taking action is not a problem.

But then, he thought of the cigarette that Liu Xi had handed him just now. After finishing the cigarette, he was still savoring the aftertaste.

As the saying goes, one should be grateful when receiving favors from others and one should be soft-hearted when receiving favors from others.

If we take action against Liu Xi now, it would be somewhat embarrassing.

There was silence for a moment.

Ling Ying pursed his lips, and his gaze, which was fixed on Liu Xi's face, seemed to become sharper.

He stretched out a hand and slowly placed it on Liu Xi's shoulder.

in front of you.

Liu Xi felt the hand on his shoulder, which could at any time convey a force that was unmatched by his current level, and his heart skipped a beat.

This shameless old man smoked my cigarette and now wants to hit me? !
“Haha, Liu Xi boy, don’t be nervous, I just saw that there’s a little dust on your shoulders, so I patted them for you!”

As if Ling Ying could sense Liu Xi's nervousness, the corners of his mouth under the mask slightly raised as he moved his hands.
