Immortal Emperor's Life As A Son-in-law

C297 The Dark Market Opened



C297 The Dark Market Opened

The idea was good, but in the end, no one really ran up to him.    

    

He had nothing to do, so he slept on the lawn for the whole day. It was only at noon that he woke up for a while.    

    

Zhang Xiaoxiao was also helpless. She stared at him and said, "I don't know. I thought we mistreated you!"    

    

She rolled her eyes as she ate.    

    

Xiao Chen only smiled and did not continue.    

    

He waited until the lunch was almost finished before he made it through again.    

    

He only diverted his attention and kept an eye on the movements in the surrounding forest.    

    

As time passed, more and more people came. The tension that permeated the air also became heavier and heavier.    

    

But no one spoke first, and no one privately interacted with anyone.    

    

It made Xiao Chen feel a little strange.    

    

"Aren't you looking for allies or something?" It was only at night that Xiao Chen finally could not help but ask Zhang Huiying.    

    

Logically speaking, it was not strange for such a large-scale activity to have a discussion or alliance.    

    

But after paying attention for an entire day, he actually did not discover any intentions of forming an alliance.    

    

Hearing this, Zhang Huiying covered her small mouth and smiled.    

    

The more it was like this, the stranger Xiao Chen was. He looked at her with a pair of strange eyes, waiting for her to give him a proper explanation.    

    

Zhang Huiying did not laugh for long before she spoke to Xiao Chen.    

    

"You are looking down on this exchange meeting too much. Since it is a test of the strength of the major families and the selection of talents, these small tricks naturally cannot be done here." Zhang Huiying spoke very lightly, but her words were obviously hinting at something.    

    

Xiao Chen frowned. He was not stupid, so how could he not understand what Zhang Huiying meant.    

    

"There are no outsiders here. Forming an alliance, are you worried that someone will report you or something?"    

    

However, Zhang Huiying did not answer his question this time. She only smiled meaningfully.    

    

However, this was not the only thing Xiao Chen was curious about.    

    

He could even find external help casually. How could forming an alliance be so secretive?    

    

Zhang Xiaoxiao seemed to have seen through his doubt and slowly stuck close to him.    

    

Xiao Chen was still thinking about his mind and did not pay that much attention to it. He scratched his head and turned around.    

    

Suddenly, the breath on his face and the pair of eyes that flashed with surprise and panic made him unable to help but be stunned.    

    

"You, what do you want to do?"    

    

As he spoke, Xiao Chen raised his hand to protect his chest, as if he was shocked.    

    

Zhang Xiaoxiao's pretty face turned slightly red. She was originally a little flustered, but after hearing what he said, she immediately bit her lips.    

    

"I should be the one asking you this! What did you want to do just now? Aren't you afraid that I will sue you for this? "    

    

" Wait a moment. If I remember correctly, you were the one who suddenly got close to me, alright? If you really want to do something, then it is you who treated me! "    

    

"Get lost, who wants to do something to you!" Zhang Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and almost rolled her eyes out of the sky.    

    

She snorted and quickly moved her head away. She had wanted to say something to Xiao Chen, but she forgot. She was sulking.    

    

Xiao Chen curled his lips and ignored her.    

    

Zhang Huiying looked at this scene and smiled strangely. She spoke to Xiao Chen again.    

    

"Alright, tomorrow is the social gathering. Pack up and rest first."    

    

Following her words, Gong Tan and Zhang Lian immediately started to set up tents. Zhang Huiying also went in to rest.    

    

Zhang Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, did not go into the tent. She hugged her arms and lowered her head. No one knew what she was thinking about.    

    

The sky was not bad. Xiao Chen also laid on the lawn and closed his eyes.    

    

As time passed, the night was thick. It was just past midnight, and the surging Qi in the surrounding forest had also settled down.    

    

In an instant, the entire night seemed to have become tranquil.    

    

Xiao Chen shrugged his ears, keenly catching the sound of rushing wind mixed in with the wind.    

    

It was obvious that many people had suddenly evacuated from the mountain forest, but the direction they had left in was surprisingly the same. They were all heading northeast.    

    

Xiao Chen thought of something and was about to see what these guys were going to do when suddenly a hand pushed him lightly.    

    

He opened his eyes and turned his head to see Zhang Xiaoxiao looking down.    

    

"What are you going to do to me again?"    

    

Zhang Xiaoxiao's face turned red and turned green. She twisted his waist hard.    

    

The pain made Xiao Chen suck in a breath of cold air. He hurriedly got up from the ground and hurriedly pushed her claws away.    

    

Then, he rubbed his waist with force and glared at her snappily.    

    

"If you continue to be careless and speak nonsense for me, go back and see how I will tell Huaiyu."    

    

"Fine, fine. Just treat it as me being in the wrong. But what are you doing in the middle of the night?"    

    

In the darkness, the woman had changed into a new set of clothes.    

    

Her whole body was pitch black. If she suddenly bumped into her, she would think that she was a ghost.    

    

"Didn't you want to go to the dark market? Let's go. It should be starting soon. "    

    

As she spoke, Zhang Xiaoxiao threw a set of black clothes into his arms. That manner seemed to be asking him to change.    

    

Xiao Chen was not willing to change into that god. He directly threw the clothes away and swept his gaze towards the northeast.    

    

"I was wondering what these guys were suddenly doing. They were all heading towards that shady market."    

    

Although he said it indifferently, his heart was already burning with passion.    

    

It would not be easy to find such a cheap opportunity in the future. He was already starting to look forward to how many resources the dark market would get this time.    

    

Zhang Xiaoxiao looked at him and pursed her lips. She looked around and finally sighed and did not insist.    

    

The two of them moved their movement techniques and rushed into the mountain forest.    

    

They rushed towards the northeast for more than 2000 meters before stopping on a hill.    

    

At this moment, there were already more than 20 figures piled up on the hill. They were all dressed in black and had masks on their faces.    

    

Glancing at the two masks on Zhang Xiaoxiao's waist, Xiao Chen pursed his lips and said, "This is also the custom set by you guys?"    

    

"You can say so. After all, there will be some rare goods appearing in the dark market. This is just a form of self-protection."    

    

As they spoke, the two of them quietly climbed up the mountain.    

    

Zhang Xiaoxiao even gave him a look of complaint and continued to say snappily, "But because of you, everything is ruined."    

    

These people were hiding and did not show up. Other than the reasons that were mentioned previously, the dark market this time was also one of the reasons.    

    

However, Xiao Chen was not willing to change his clothes and was exposed in front of everyone's eyes early on.    

    

He had been stared at for an entire day, and if he tried to cover it up again, he wouldn't be able to do anything other than make himself look ridiculous.    

    

After all, the people who came this time were all experts, and they could take their seats just by looking at their physique.    

    

Therefore, when these guys came, they immediately sat cross-legged to avoid exposing themselves.    

    

Xiao Chen scratched his nose, but he didn't take it to heart. Facing the sneering gazes from the people on the mountain, he swaggered forward.
