Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 137 Trio of Melon Eaters

Zhou Xuanʼs line of thought was truly wild.

Uncle Li Dong and Qing Chen both had a bit of admiration for him.

As a lone individual, he had traveled to an unfamiliar world, and unlike others, had even crossed over to the wilderness to become a servant.

For him to have the resolve in such a short time to try to seduce a girl like Li Yinuo indeed required some boldness.

And, he really didnʼt care about losing face.

At this time, Qin Yiyi felt that watching the drama unfold was incredibly entertaining.

Uncle Li Dong said, ”How about we place a bet on whether he can win over Li Yinuo or not?”

Qing Chen was shocked, thinking to himself that Mother Ye and Lin Xiaoxiao loved to make bets over people as a little game, could this teacher have passed it on?

Qin Yiyi hurried to say, ”I bet he canʼt do it; Iʼll bet you an apple!”

”I might as well not bet; you two go ahead,” Qing Chen thought for a bit, ”I donʼt have anything on me to wager.”

”What are you thinking,” Qin Yiyi tugged at his arm, ”join me in betting he canʼt do it, and Iʼll cover your apple!”

Uncle Li Dong said with a smile, ”Then it looks like I can only bet that he can.”

Actually, Uncle Li Dong also wanted to bet against it, but since the young girl had rushed to say ʼcanʼt do it,ʼ he couldnʼt possibly compete with a young girl for it...

To him, this was more like a joyful game, where winning or losing didnʼt matter.

”Look, Zhou Xuan is pondering something,” Qing Chen commented, ”I think he might be summarizing his lessons from his failures and might switch his approach.”

While they talked, Zhou Xuan, looking a bit puzzled, glanced over at them but only saw the three systematically munching on apples, as if nothing had ever happened.

He had just kept feeling that someone was secretly watching him, but it seemed that he was maybe overthinking it? Stay tuned with empire

Zhou Xuan casually redirected his gaze but in an instant turned back to look at the three; they were still chatting and eating apples with no sign of anything unusual.

The Time Traveler finally suppressed his suspicions, thinking he might really be worrying too much.

...

Zhou Xuan quietly observed Li Yinuo and Nan Gengchen.

The two seemed to have said something, and Nan Gengchen actually left with a dark face, leaving Li Yinuo alone by the campfire.

Li Yinuo seemed a bit unhappy too. Glancing around, she caught sight of Zhou Xuan who was doing nothing: ”You, come here.”

Not far away, the trio watching the show in surprise: ”Why did Li Yinuo call him over? Donʼt tell me Nan Gengchen made her angry, and sheʼs planning to replace him with a new person?”

Qing Chen muttered quietly, ”Itʼs not impossible.”

”Donʼt talk yet; they are about to converse. Listen carefully,” Uncle Li Dong reminded.

Zhou Xuan approached Li Yinuo, who sat squarely: ”Youʼve been with the Lee family for 5 years now, havenʼt you?”

Zhou Xuan responded, ”Miss Yino, itʼs been six years and three months.”

The trio nibbling on apples commented, ”This kid is pretty thorough, isnʼt he?”

”Indeed, he just found out this information this afternoon.”

”Looking up to the high-level players.”

At that moment, Li Yinuo asked, ”Why have you suddenly approached me these past two days?”

Zhou Xuanʼs heartbeat nearly skipped, but his face showed nothing. Cautiously, he replied, ”I just felt that Mister Nan must have upset you; I wanted to lighten the mood a bit. Miss Yino, youʼre so good to him and yet he dares show you an attitude.”

From a distance, Uncle Li Dong clicked his tongue in amazement, ”This guy has a really venomous tongue.”

”Such a strong scent of green tea,” Qing Chen remarked, ”I wonder if Li Yinuo can handle it?”

Qin Yiyi thought for a moment, then replied, ”She should be able to, at least I could.”

It was at this moment Zhou Xuan shot another seemingly casual glance at the cucumber-eating trio; he always felt that the three by the fire were quietly discussing him, but he had no proof!

In the corner of his eye, those three continued to nonchalantly eat their apples.

Then, Li Yinuo turned and asked the middle-aged man who had been standing guard behind her, ”Wang Bingxu, what do you think of this kid?”

”Pretty good,” Wang Bingxu responded succinctly.

Zhou Xuan knew all too well that this middle-aged man, Wang Bingxu, was Li Yinuoʼs confidant. If he approved of him, the deal was likely half done!

Uncle Li Dong was somewhat puzzled: ”Could this young lady actually have taken a liking to this pretty boy?”

”Itʼs possible, otherwise why would she suddenly ask Wang Bingxuʼs opinion?”

”Ah,” Qin Yiyi sighed, ”Poor Nan Gengchen.”

Qin Yiyi felt a bit heartbroken; it seemed she was about to lose two apples!

But the very next second, Li Yinuo said to Wang Bingxu, ”Alright, if you like him, thatʼs good. I know you favor this kind of fresh meat, heʼs yours now.”

”Pfft!” The cucumber-eating trio spat out their apples once again; this was nothing like the plot everyone had imagined.

Zhou Xuan: ”???”

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw those three spitting apples and thought to himself, I knew it!

You were indeed secretly sizing me up and talking about me!

Now youʼve exposed yourselves!

But, giving oneself away to that middle-aged man, what on earth was that all about!

Li Yinuo also glanced at Uncle Li Dong and his group, then looked at Zhou Xuan with a cold smile, ”Did you really think that just because Xiao Nan and I argued, you could scheme against him? Wang Bingxu, give him a good lesson, make him remember this.”

Zhou Xuan watched as Wang Bingxu-sized him up with a look that turned his face ashen...

He hadnʼt expected that after coming to the Inner World, this would be his starting situation!

After all his days of hunting geese, he was now pecked in the eye by one.

Wang Bingxu walked over, grabbed the resistant Zhou Xuan and headed towards the tent.

Suddenly, Xiao Gong, who was wearing holographic glasses, said, ”An anomaly has been detected in the vicinity of Drone #9... An anomaly is also present near Drone #11, Uncle Wang, Miss Yino, we need to evacuate this place first, we are being surrounded.”

Li Yinuo arched an eyebrow, ”Who has the audacity? Whoʼs coming for us?”

”It should be the wilderness fighters weʼve fought before,” Xiao Gong replied calmly, ”Theyʼre back for revenge, and there are twice as many as last time, over three hundred, and it looks like theyʼve called for backup from other clans in the wilderness.”

”How far away are they?”

”7 kilometers out, but theyʼll be here soon.”

Li Yinuo wasnʼt just a show-off fool; this time, there was real danger. The attackers knew the strength of the Autumn Hunting Fleet and wouldnʼt dare to come without being sure of victory!

As she ran towards the tent where Nan Gengchen was, she said to Wang Bingxu, ”Get everyone on the vehicles, chase after the Jindai family for a bit, and drag them into fighting these wilderness people with us! You drive my car, Iʼll take someone elseʼs.”

She dragged Nan Gengchen out of the tent: ”Save the quarrels for later. Donʼt be cross with me now, this is serious business!”

With that, Li Yinuo actually lifted Nan Gengchen into the pickup truckʼs bed.

Qing Chen watched in amazement, thinking, how could this burly girl just jump into their vehicle? Could she have sensed something amiss?

This was all too bizarre; she had hopped into the truck bed as if knowing that, just by being there, she wouldnʼt have to fear any danger.
