King?

"Return a favor...?" Old Lu clearly didn't understand.

Qi Xia helplessly shook his head.

This middle-aged man before him was timid, greedy, loved to lie, was impulsive, and easily agitated, almost gathering all the shortcomings in one person, but Qi Xia just couldn't dislike him.

Qi Xia could only stop talking to him about this issue and walked straight to Zhang Shan.

These people seemed to have never made a move against him, which was a bit strange.

"Why tie up my teammate?" Qi Xia asked.

Zhang Shan moved his aching back and said, "Didn't I say? This is what Chu Tianqiu meant. You were also quite ruthless just now, Chu Tianqiu didn't even let me tie you up..."

"If Chu Tianqiu can't give a proper reason, I will be even more ruthless." Qi Xia's tone was very serious, not at all like bluffing.

"Damn it, can't you chat nicely? But it doesn't matter, Chu Tianqiu was going to see you anyway." Zhang Shan waved his hand not far away, and Xiao Yanjing ran over, and Qi Xia saw the familiar face again.

"Zhang Shan, are you okay?" Xiao Yanjing asked.

"I'm fine, take this person to see Chu Tianqiu." Zhang Shan waved his hand, then moved his back, helped up the young man who was knocked down by Qi Xia, and left with Qiao Jia Jin.

Xiao Yanjing looked at Qi Xia and said, "Mr. Qi, right? Please follow me."

Qi Xia nodded cautiously and followed.

The two kept walking in the corridor until they arrived at the door of a classroom at the southernmost end.

Xiao Yanjing reached out and gently knocked on the door: "Mr. Chu, Miss Yun, I've brought the person."

"Let him in." A man said in the room.

Before Xiao Yanjing could speak, Qi Xia pushed the door and walked into the classroom.

Yun Yao was sitting at a desk applying nail polish, and a strange, refined man seemed to be writing something on the blackboard at the moment.

When they saw Qi Xia, they both turned to look at him.

"Ah! The down-and-out handsome guy!" Yun Yao pointed to Qi Xia and exclaimed happily, "Did you agree to be my 'rumored boyfriend'?"

Qi Xia ignored Yun Yao and stared at the strange man.

"Qi Xia?" The strange man smiled, put the chalk in the groove of the blackboard, and then patted the dust off his hands, "I've heard a lot about you, I'm Chu Tianqiu."

Qi Xia nodded, walked up, and Xiao Yanjing behind him considerately closed the door.

Yun Yao stood up, walked towards Qi Xia, and she had a refreshing fragrance on her body: "Qi Xia, it's great that you're here!"

Chu Tianqiu also walked towards Qi Xia, always wearing a refined smile on his face: "I'm sorry to meet you in this way, I hope you can forgive me."

"Chu Tianqiu, tell me why you did this." Qi Xia said directly.

"You mean... I control your teammates?" Chu Tianqiu smiled, "How should I tell you? After all, this is our territory, and I don't actually need to explain to you."

"Let me confirm with you..." Qi Xia frowned slightly, "You deceived us here, then controlled my teammates, and you're not ready to tell me the reason?"

"So what if I did?" Chu Tianqiu pushed his glasses, "Qi Xia, it's your first time at 'Heavenly Gate', maybe you don't know the rules here."

"What are the rules here?" Qi Xia asked.

"I am the rule." Chu Tianqiu smiled again, which made Qi Xia very uncomfortable, "As long as everyone listens to me, I will take everyone out sooner or later."

Qi Xia looked at Chu Tianqiu coldly, not knowing what he was thinking, and there was a strange atmosphere in the air.

"Ah... What are you two talking about?" Yun Yao came forward to mediate, "It's the first time we've met, why so serious? We're going to be teammates in the future."

Seeing that neither of them responded, Yun Yao thought of what Chu Tianqiu had said before, 'Kings don't meet kings', perhaps these two people are indeed not suitable to be teammates, but they both have very smart minds and are indispensable forces, and it would be a huge loss for 'Heavenly Gate' no matter who leaves.

"Can you give a favor to the idol?" Yun Yao smiled and took Qi Xia's hand, and then took Chu Tianqiu's hand, "You two should shake hands in front of me, and we will all be good friends from now on."

"No need." Qi Xia took back his hand.

"That's right." Chu Tianqiu also took back his hand, "Yun Yao, don't worry, Qi Xia is a smart person, and it seems he also understands the 'rules' of this place."

"I'll confirm with you one last time." Qi Xia frowned slightly, "You see yourself as a 'local tyrant', so people who join 'Heavenly Gate' must unconditionally obey your orders, follow your commands, and not ask questions, right?"

"While it's a bit biased, the general meaning is similar." Chu Tianqiu pushed his glasses, "Of course, I'm not a 'local tyrant', just the leader of this place. You also know that if there is 'no leader among dragons', so many people will be like scattered sand, and no one will be able to get out in the end."

Yun Yao shook her head helplessly: "Qi Xia, don't be surprised, although Chu Tianqiu is our leader, his goal is to lead us out, after all, we are still 'teammates'."

Qi Xia nodded again, looked at the two people in front of him, and suddenly turned to Yun Yao and said, "Can you step back?"

"Step back?" Yun Yao was stunned, then smiled and asked, "Why? Is the smell on me unpleasant?"

"No, it smells good." Qi Xia said, "But I hope you step back."

Yun Yao thought for a moment, nodded, and stepped back two steps: "I understand, do you want to size up my figure?"

After Yun Yao finished speaking, she turned around by herself.

"No, I'm just afraid of hurting you." Qi Xia said.

"Hurt me?"

Before Yun Yao and Chu Tianqiu could react, Qi Xia suddenly stepped forward, imitating the way Qiao Jia Jin hit the black bear in his memory, his shoulder followed his waist, his right arm swung out like a rope, and his fist rotated 180 degrees in the air.

Originally aimed at Chu Tianqiu's chin, but this punch flew to his mouth, it seems that his combat skills really need more practice.

'Bang'!

Chu Tianqiu didn't have time to react at all, took the punch squarely, let out a howl, and then fell to the ground like a chopped tree.

Yun Yao was so scared that she covered her mouth with both hands, she didn't know why things would develop like this.

Qi Xia shook his slightly swollen right hand and walked towards Chu Tianqiu again.

Chu Tianqiu's mouth was full of blood from Qi Xia's punch, and he lay on the ground showing a painful expression.

Qi Xia slowly squatted beside him, staring into the other's eyes and asked word by word:

"Chu Tianqiu, what are you pretending with me?"
