Xiaobei was genuinely looking at them with a face full of confusion. The reason for his curiosity and confusion was their excessively enthusiastic behavior...
Upon hearing Xiaobei’s cautious inquiry, they could sense that Xiaobei was indeed very puzzled.
"If he continues to be suspicious, he might become wary of us, so it’s better to lay everything out in the open!"
As soon as this idea popped into their minds, they rubbed their hands together in front of Xiaobei...
After that, they frankly asked the wary Xiaobei...
"Xiaobei, what do you think of the environment here in The Valley of the Wicked?"
"Yes! Do you like the environment here?"
"Right, tell us, do you like it?"
Xiaobei didn’t understand why they were asking this, but he straightforwardly told the truth.
"It’s really nice here, I do like it!"
At this moment, Xiaobei was telling the truth...
He genuinely liked the environment here...
Because previously, he rarely had the opportunity to see such landscapes...
...
Their eyes brightened!
Upon hearing Xiaobei’s crisp response, their eyes instantly lit up with excitement...
Soon, they exclaimed excitedly, "Since... since you like it, how about... how about you stay here in the future?"
"Yes! The environment here is really great, and you can choose any place to live if you want to stay."
"Indeed, indeed! Any place, you can choose!"
"Uh..."
Xiaobei was stunned for a few seconds and then fully understood their intentions and plans...
Rubbing his nose, Xiaobei said with a slight bitter smile, "So... so that’s what you were planning! You want me to join your Valley of the Wicked?"
"Yes, that’s exactly our plan!"
Once Xiaobei saw through them, they didn’t hide anything anymore and quickly nodded...
"I’m sorry, I... I can’t do it!"
Once Xiaobei understood their intentions, he straightforwardly refused.
Xiaobei knew that he didn’t belong to any family here, including The Valley of the Wicked and those Hidden Families.
The reason he was here was simply to help out.
Once everything was over, Xiaobei was sure to leave this place.
"This..."
Being so resolutely refused by Xiaobei, they were at a loss for words...
Because they really didn’t expect Xiaobei to be so adamant in his refusal.
In their previous assumptions, they thought Xiaobei would definitely agree because the conditions they offered were truly generous...
"Alright, don’t waste time on me any longer!"
Seeing their dazed expressions, Xiaobei smiled and spoke again...
After that, Xiaobei quickly turned and walked away...
Seeing Xiaobei leaving, they wanted to say something else but it was too late because Xiaobei was moving further away...
At this moment, they suddenly heard a slightly teasing voice...
"How is it? You failed, right?"
Instinctively turning their heads, they saw the smiling Gu Dong watching them with his arms crossed...
Feeling a bit awkward, they sighed softly and whispered, "Yes, nothing escapes the Family Head’s eyes."
Upon hearing these flattering words, Gu Dong waved gently and said, "It’s not about escaping my eyes; it’s because I understand him. To be honest, if he so easily agreed with you, that would indeed be odd, because geniuses like him are usually proud and aloof."
"That’s... that’s true!"
After thinking about it for a bit, they realized Gu Dong was really making a lot of sense...
"We mustn’t be discouraged by this failure!"
"Yes, we must keep trying!"
"Certainly!"
Thinking of the story about grinding an iron rod into a needle, they suddenly felt revitalized again...
