Chapter 105: Xiao Ding

Here, the usual tranquility was slightly disturbed.

On the platform.

There was a large stone bed, stone table, stone chairs, a meditation mat, a small desk, and animal skins, all the necessary living facilities were complete.

At this moment, a young man stood there somewhat awkwardly, holding a fiery red animal skin. Opposite him stood two beautiful young girls.

One was wearing a white dress with white hair, and the other was dressed in a light green dress with light green eyes.

It was Xian'er and Qing Lin. At this moment, they had displeasure on their faces, glaring angrily at the young man opposite them.

Anyone would be unhappy if they returned home happily to find their home had been robbed.

The young man forced a bitter smile and hurriedly put down the animal skin in his hand, bowing and saying, "Two ladies, seniors, I am Xiao Ding from the Mobei Iron Mercenary Group in Shi Mo City. I apologize for the intrusion..."

Xiao Ding's face was awkward, having been caught red-handed by the owners while trying to take something.

He had only felt pity seeing such high-quality animal skins seemingly discarded here, so he couldn't help but pick it up to have a look.

Indeed, these were high-quality second- and third-tier fire-type magical beast skins, each piece valuable.

He had intended to take a couple with him when leaving as mattress pads.

Unfortunately, he was caught by the owners returning at that moment, which was very awkward.

Now, it's like being caught red-handed, and he couldn't defend himself anymore.

But who would have thought that people still resided here.

Judging by the traces, it seemed like the owner had been away for quite a while; he had thought it was a relic left by some predecessor.

Xiao Ding smiled bitterly, lowering his attitude as much as possible, bowing in apology.

...

Xian'er glanced at Xiao Ding, slightly frowning, and softly said, "Since it's a misunderstanding, you should leave."

"This." Xiao Ding was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly, "I'm sorry, senior, please pardon me. I cannot leave now, as my brother is still below the magma lake…"

"Could you give me some time until my brother comes up, then I will take him and leave immediately."

"Your brother is under the magma lake?" Xian'er was surprised.

She took a look at Xiao Ding, a Dou Shi level, and seemed quite young.

So his brother probably wasn't much stronger; how dared he venture into the magma lake bottom?

Xiao Ding wiped the sweat off his forehead, part from the heat, part cold sweat from fear, and said, "I dare not deceive you, senior, my brother is indeed below the magma right now."

He had witnessed this white-clad, white-haired senior flying down with Dou Qi wings.

At least a Dou Wang!

How could he not be nervous?

If possible, he would have left immediately, far away.

But unfortunately, his young brother was still under the magma lake.

Xian'er felt a bit helpless; she looked at Xiao Ding, unable to decide whether to drive him away or not.

She hoped Xiao Ding could leave immediately; after all, she was kind-hearted, but if Wei Yang came down later, she didn't know if he would get angry; for the secrecy of this place, he might just kill him.

Wei Yang typically displayed indifference to strangers; if you offended him, he would really kill.

She glanced around and noticed a new passageway had been opened in the rock wall not far away. She couldn't help wanting to cover her forehead.

At this time...

A dark figure appeared at the entrance above.

Swish!

Black Dou Qi wings unfolded, and the dark figure hovered in the air before descending slowly.

"Young Master is back," Qing Lin said softly.

Xian'er's head ached; she gave Xiao Ding an annoyed look.

Just when you had the chance to leave and didn't take it, it might be difficult to leave now.

"Try to protect the lives of these two brothers," Xian'er could only sigh in her heart.

This young man was still so young, and he was loving and righteous towards his brother, unwilling to abandon him and leave alone. That's why she had a good impression of Xiao Ding, unwilling to see the two brothers die like this.

At this moment, Xiao Ding was also sweating profusely, desperately wanting to run away.

In this hot environment, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

God!

Another Dou Wang!

Xiao Ding's heart trembled.

Are Dou Wang strong individuals not worth anything anymore?

Also, what did that light green-eyed girl call him? Young Master!

...

Wei Yang descended, slowly retracting his Dou Qi wings, his gaze falling on Xiao Ding, who was standing there, sweating profusely and barely holding himself upright.

"Brother Yang."

"Young Master."

Wei Yang nodded with a calm expression, his eyes still observing Xiao Ding.

"Xiao Ding, greets senior!" Xiao Ding braced himself, bowed respectfully, his voice trembling slightly.

"Your name is Xiao Ding?" Wei Yang said expressionlessly.

"Yes." Xiao Ding nodded, sweat dripping from his forehead, feeling uneasy.

"Are the mercenaries above your people? From the Mobei Iron Mercenary Group?" Wei Yang asked again.

"Yes." Xiao Ding's face suddenly turned pale, feeling a chill inside.

He thought the brothers above had suffered at the hands of the other party.

"Today seems doomed," Xiao Ding lamented bitterly inside.

Luckily, Xiao Li didn't come.

At least one of the three brothers would remain.

Wei Yang stepped to the front of the small desk, waved his sleeve, sweeping away the dust above, and sat cross-legged on the meditation mat.

Qing Lin obediently came over, took out a tea set from her storage ring, and skillfully brewed tea for Wei Yang.

Xian'er stealthily gave Xiao Ding a look to act accordingly, then walked to Wei Yang's side to sit, trying to curry favor by massaging Wei Yang's shoulders.

Xiao Ding immediately understood, giving Xian'er a grateful look, standing respectfully and not daring to move.

Wei Yang was a bit surprised to see Xian'er trying to please him, he glanced at Xiao Ding, and upon a quick thought, he understood.

It seemed Xian'er was afraid he would kill and wanted to save the other's life.

He found it somewhat amusing and didn't expose it, instead enjoying Xian'er's massage.

"Young Master," Qing Lin also finished brewing tea. She first placed a cup in front of Wei Yang, then poured for herself and Xian'er.

Wei Yang picked up a cup of tea and placed it in front of the small desk, then picked up his own cup, smiling as he looked at Xiao Ding, gesturing, "Come, have some tea."

"Ah?" Xiao Ding was dumbfounded for a moment, unbelievingly pointing at himself, "Senior, me?"

"Yes." Wei Yang nodded with a smile, "It's you."

"This." Xiao Ding opened his mouth, caught off guard.

What was going on?

Xian'er was also surprised, but she quickly reacted, giving Xiao Ding a look, softly reminding, "Young Master Xiao Ding, come have some tea."

"Oh oh, okay." Xiao Ding finally came to his senses, replying with delight, carefully approaching the small desk, respectfully picking up the tea cup with both hands, sipping lightly, then respectfully placing it back down.

"Sit," Wei Yang gestured with a wave.

"Thank you, senior." Xiao Ding cautiously sat down, ignoring the slight dust on the meditation mat.

He still felt a sense of unreality in his heart; the change was too fast, from hell to heaven.

"What, are you surprised?" Wei Yang lightly stirred the tea leaves floating on the water surface with the lid, asking with a smile.

"Yes," Xiao Ding answered honestly.

"You are surnamed Xiao, and from your facial features and profile, I can roughly guess your identity," Wei Yang smiled.

"Senior, could it be that you have some relation with my Xiao family?" Xiao Ding's eyes lit up, asking tentatively.

"Correct, I do have some connections with your Xiao family," Wei Yang nodded.

At the side, Xian'er immediately understood; she gave Wei Yang a light glare.

Wei Yang just smiled, winking mischievously at her.

Xian'er rolled her eyes at Wei Yang and withdrew her massaging hands.

She looked at the surprised Xiao Ding, explaining with a bit of annoyance, "We previously lived in Wutan City and had some dealings with your Xiao family."

"Senior, could you be Mr. Wei?" Xiao Ding seemed to have thought of something, quickly asking respectfully.

"I'm called Wei Yang," Wei Yang nodded.

"I see! You are indeed Mr. Wei!" Xiao Ding let out a long breath, showing delight on his face.

He stood up, tidied his outfit, offering a respectful and formal bow, "Xiao Ding from the Xiao family greets Mr. Wei!"

"No need for formalities, sit," Wei Yang waved his hand.

Xiao Ding smiled and nodded, flicking the dust off the meditation mat before sitting down. 

It turned out to be an acquaintance.

Almost scared me to death.

Now I don't have to die; I've saved my life!
