Xingtie, my life is like walking on thin ice

"..."

"I'm sorry, if it's because Zhu Qing said something wrong, I apologize to you on his behalf."

Although Zhuqing has the right to say whatever he wants, this is someone else's belief after all, and it would be impolite to offend them rashly.

"Why should you apologize? The pursuit of beauty is human nature, and it's what I've pursued my entire life. Since you two have discovered your own beauty, I'm only sincerely happy for you. How can I blame you?"

I have to say that the qualities of a pure and beautiful knight are indeed noble.

"My dear, you finally spoke some human words."

Potio, who was standing by, had already put one hand on Zhuqing's shoulder.

"My brother likes whoever he likes."

Of all the people present, he and Zhu Qing had known each other the longest, and he was also the first sea patrolman Zhu Qing had ever met. Therefore, for a while, the two of them often sat together, drinking and chatting, and as they talked more, they would always talk about the past.

The past was not a friendly word for the Sea Patrol Ranger, so when he saw Zhu Qing had a new life, he was really happy for Zhu Qing.

"Okay, brother, stop listening to this baby's chanting. Let's go in and talk."

As he spoke, Potio waved to the robin. Because of Zhuqing, he was quite friendly to the robin.

Of course, people like Robin are very friendly to her unless they have something to hide.

Zhu Qing nodded and looked at the girl standing not far away.

"Long time no see, Ranpo, how have you been lately?"

"Your Excellency the Demon Sword Saint, long time no see. I've been practicing the Way of Ninja lately, hunting down evil ninjas, just like before."

The little girl named Luanpo had a very serious expression, but her words were a little difficult to hold together.

Xiaoniao looked over with curiosity. She didn't want to guess that Zhuqing had chosen such a childish name.

"Let's go in first. I'd also like to introduce you all. Mr. Yinzhi, are you coming?"

"Since this is your reunion, I certainly can't get involved. Besides, I have some important matters to attend to right now. Please forgive me for not being able to wait here for you to come out."

"Your dear, do you still want to wait for me here?"

Poteo's eyes widened, "Get out of here, dear!"

Yinzhi ignored Potio's words, bowed to the few people, and left.

After seeing the people leave, the four of them also walked into the teahouse.

"Let me introduce you, this is Robin, my girlfriend."

Zhu Qing's casual introduction made Robin so nervous that she started pinching the corners of her clothes. She has become more and more shy recently.

"I don't think I need to introduce Portio any further. You should have seen him as early as when you were in Pinocchio."

"As for this guy over here, he's also a member of the Sea Rangers, his name is Luanpo."

"Hello, Song and Dance Ninja, I have longed to listen to your songs. It is truly an honor to meet you today."

The robin didn't quite understand what Luanpo said, but she kept smiling and greeted Luanpo.

"Hello, lovely lady. I never thought such a lovely lady like you could be a powerful ranger."

"Of course. I've practiced ninjutsu for many years and can now be considered a master. It's a pity that my ninjutsu isn't suitable for the Song and Dance Ninja. Otherwise, I could teach you a few self-defense techniques."

Zhu Qing took out his spare phone and started typing. Luanpo's hearing was so good that she could hear even whispers.

As for why it is a backup machine?

Of course, that was because it was broken when I fought with Feixiao a few days ago, but fortunately, Robin signed an endorsement contract with that mobile phone manufacturer for several years, and there are new products every year.

The little bird can give one to Zhuqing every year.

Well, this is also a little bit of Robin's idea. She signed the endorsement contract on purpose. She rarely signs such a long contract with a manufacturer. If you really count it, this manufacturer can be said to have benefited from Zhuqing.

Soon, Zhu Qing moved the phone in front of the robin, and the bird saw the words on it.

[Memetic contamination. Ranpo has been subjected to various experiments since she was very young. When the Patrol Ranger found her, she had already been infected with the memetic virus. For a long time, her world was only filled with ninjas, which also caused her to speak in a strange way.]

Robin's expression paused, and she tried hard to control her expression so that her emotional changes would not be caught by the person sitting opposite her.

"Kabuki Ninja, what's wrong?"

"It might be something about work. Speaking of which, Luanpo, why did you suddenly come to Luofu?"

"It's such a lively and prosperous time. I also want to come and feast my eyes."

Luanpo was easily diverted by Zhuqing. "Also, I have another unwelcome request. I hope Your Excellency the Demon Sword Saint can agree to it."

"We've known each other for so long, there's no need for such polite words. If you need anything, just let me know and I'll help in any way I can."

"Look what I said, you little brat? You don't need to beg my brother Zhuqing specifically. You know his character."

"It's like this, I have some traces of the Monkey King, the Evil Ninja..."

Hearing this, Zhu Qing frowned. Dr. Yuanshi, a member of the Genius Club. Unlike the law-abiding geniuses like Heita, Dr. Yuanshi had been hunted by the Sea Patrols. Even today, many Sea Patrols still pursued Dr. Yuanshi, but unfortunately, they had not been able to find any success.

Most of Luanpo's tragic experiences were caused by Dr. Original. Now that she finally has trace of Dr. Original, she certainly won't let him go.

"Where is he?"

Although he is not Zhu Qing's target, now that he knows the news, Zhu Qing will naturally get involved. With all the evil things Dr. Yuanshi has done, it would not be enough to kill him no matter how many times he has done.

Luanpo shook his head.

"I am still investigating, and I believe we will know the results within two days. When that happens, I would like to ask His Excellency the Demon Sword Saint to come and assist us."

Zhu Qing's strength is the best even among many rangers. In addition, the two are familiar with each other, so it is quite normal for Luanpo to ask him for help.

"Don't worry, I'll be there whenever you call."

When talking to Luanpo, don't beat around the bush, just say what you want to say.

"Thank you for your generosity!"

"When you helped me, wasn't I polite to you? This is considered a return of favor."

Zhu Qing smiled and said, "When you have any news, just contact me directly. As long as it's not a life-or-death situation, I will do my best to get there."

After finishing their business, the three began to chat. As they were all rangers, they naturally had a lot in common. The robin listened to the three people talking about interesting things.

She supported her chin, not feeling bored, and listened with great interest.

But soon, the other two people's topics also turned to the robin intentionally or unintentionally, which forced the bird to join the conversation.

The conversation was actually quite simple. The two of them were also very curious about how she and Zhuqing got together. They were also very blunt, so Xiaoniao couldn't get away with it. Fortunately, she had already come up with a plan.

Just like Zhu Qing was afraid of trouble and said that she was her fan, Xiao Niao followed suit. If anyone asked her privately how she got together with Zhu Qing, she would say that she was the one who pursued Zhu Qing, and she would also use this statement when officially announcing to her fans in the future.

Although it is surprising, such a statement can really reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Those who don't know Zhu Qing will only envy him, thinking that he must have saved the universe in his previous life. And those who know Zhu Qing will only think that this is to be expected.

After briefly chatting about their stories, Luanpo and Potio also said that if they needed anything in the future, they could ask them for help regardless of whether Zhuqing was there or not. As long as it was possible, they would never refuse.

To be honest, Robin was a little envious of such feelings. She had been quite lonely since she was a child and did not have good friends like Luanpo and Potio like Zhuqing.

She had never experienced such pure emotion before.

Fortunately, she will probably have many opportunities to encounter such things in the future, and she will gradually get used to it.

......

After parting with the two of them, it was already afternoon.

Usually at this time, the two would choose to find a place to take a walk, wait until time to have dinner, and then stay at home, staying together and busy with their own things.

Xiao Niao would secretly handle Pinocchio's affairs and compose music, while Zhu Qing would play games to relax.

But today was different. Before the two of them could walk around, Xing had already come to their door.

"Father!"

From a distance, the little raccoon was already waving and walking towards her, and there seemed to be someone following her.

"What do you want from me all of a sudden? And who is this person behind you?"

"Hello, big brother. My name is Luca, and I'm a contestant here to participate in this martial arts ceremony."

The boy named Luca had red hair and looked very sunny. He scratched his head and said, "Xing is my coach. She said I needed to regain some confidence, so she brought me all the way here."

"Don't mind, this guy often does abstract things."

Zhu Qing comforted him, saying that he had already gotten used to the abstraction of this little raccoon.

"So you came to see me, what's the matter?"

Although he knew the purpose of the two, Zhu Qing really couldn't guess what they wanted him to do specifically.

"Godfather, can you please excuse me?"

Xing said this and waved to Zhuqing. Zhuqing shook his head helplessly and followed him.

"I don't have much time, so you'd better be brief and make sure I understand."

The little bird is still waiting for him to go shopping together.

"Is such that......"

Xing told Zhuqing about her previous trip to Beloberg by train. That place had been covered in ice and snow year-round, with the route blocked by a star core. Now that it had finally reappeared in space, Beloberg desperately needed this opportunity to establish a little reputation.

And Luca is the player they sent to participate in the competition.

After finishing the story, the two walked back. Luca was tapping the floor with his feet nervously.

"It seems that not agreeing to go to Beloberg with you last time really made me miss a lot of wonderful stories."

"Do you regret it now?"

Xing raised her head with great pride, but no one knew what she was so proud of.

"That's why I hope my adoptive father can help Luca regain some confidence. I told Luca that his opponents aren't that strong. I can beat up anyone he doesn't think is a match for. I told him not to underestimate himself."

"So you found it on my head?"

Zhu Qing slowly asked, "Do you want me to fight those people?"

"As expected of you, my godfather! You're so observant!"

"Why don't you just let me find a hole to bury them and let Luca take a bye."

Zhu Qing cursed with a smile and looked at Luca.

"Don't listen to Xing's bad advice. Of course, taking on responsibilities is stressful, but from the looks of it, you don't seem to have ever experienced such pressure."

"But don't worry, pressure can also be motivation. It will drive you to go a distance you never dared to dream of before. I think you need a fair victory more than watching your opponent get beaten."

Zhu Qing raised his hand and patted Luca on the shoulder. "Don't underestimate yourself. You are quite capable. I am looking forward to your performance."

"Did you hear that? Luca, that was my adoptive father's praise. He's a hero who's become famous all over the world lately, a true legend! Not everyone gets to hear the praise of the Sea Patrol Knight, Qingzhu!"

Luca slowly widened his eyes. In today's Luofu, it was too easy to find out what happened to Zhu Qing, so he also knew about Zhu Qing's affairs. As a result... such a heroic figure actually appeared in front of him?

"Come on this."

Zhu Qing glanced at Xing and said, "What about Sanyue? Shouldn't she be competing on stage in the next couple of days?"

"Mitsuki is now a legendary swordsman. I am no longer worthy of her and cannot be her coach."

?

Zhu Qing slowly typed a question mark.

......

Chapter 176: Exhibition Match

"She won seventeen consecutive matches in practice before the competition and is now arrogant."

Xing's expression was a little sad.

"..."

Zhu Qing opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say. This little raccoon was fine when he was serious, but every time he acted weird, she could only believe half of what he said.

"By the way, godfather, when is your competition?"
