Under the tempering of the strong wind and yellow sand, Xiao Feng's skin has become much tougher. Although it is still not invulnerable to swords and guns, its defense is comparable to that of a first-level monster.
After Xiao Feng and his companions entered Shimo City, they asked passers-by and found out the specific location of the Motie Mercenary Group. They immediately set out to go there.
The Motie Mercenary Group is located in the south of Shimo City. The courtyard where its headquarters is located is similar to the Xiao family compound in Wutan City.
At the entrance of the courtyard, there was a blood-red flag with five big characters "Motie Mercenary Group" written on it.
Several burly men in short-sleeved shirts were standing at the door with weapons in their hands, scanning the passers-by with their tiger eyes, exuding an iron-blooded aura.
"Excuse me, are you two going to issue a mercenary mission? Or is there something else?"
Seeing Xiao Feng and Xiao Yixian coming over here, the middle-aged mercenary in the lead immediately took the initiative to greet them.
"My name is Xiao Feng, from the Xiao family in Wutan City."
Xiao Feng smiled and bowed, "Excuse me, are the two captains of your group here?"
"The Xiao family of Wutan City? Xiao Feng?"
The middle-aged mercenary heard this and muttered a few words subconsciously. Then his face changed drastically and he smiled enthusiastically, "It turns out that the third young master of the Xiao family has arrived. Please come in!"
Under the guidance of the middle-aged mercenary, Xiao Feng and his companions walked into the courtyard. After passing through several small paths, they arrived in front of a villa.
Before entering the villa, Xiao Feng heard two familiar voices coming from inside.
The middle-aged mercenary who was in charge of leading the way shouted loudly, "Captain, the third young master of the Xiao family is here!"
"Squeak~"
The sound in the yard stopped abruptly, followed by the sound of a door opening, and two tall and slender figures walked out.
The leading young man was dressed in a white robe and looked to be in his early twenties. He looked 50% similar to Xiao Feng, with an elegant temperament, a bit of wisdom in his eyes, and an imperceptible cunning.
The other young man was wearing a mercenary suit, and looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. He looked 70% similar to Xiao Feng, with a lazy and sinister look on his face.
"Brother, Brother, long time no see!"
Looking at his two brothers who looked more vicissitudes of life than he remembered, Xiao Feng couldn't help but feel a sour nose and slightly red eyes.
Seeing this, Xiao Li, who was a bit eccentric, first stepped forward and gave Xiao Feng a big hug, and then asked curiously, "Little Crazy, why are you here suddenly? Are Dad and Xiao Yanzi okay at home?"
"I came to the Tagor Desert for training. The mercenary group you founded happened to be here, so I came to see you."
Xiao Feng smiled and said, "My father and Xiao Yanzi are living well now. By the way, Xiao Yanzi's cultivation talent has been restored, and he has been accepted as a registered disciple by an alchemist."
"Really?"
Xiao Li said excitedly, "Great! It looks like our Xiao family is going to have a pharmacist as well."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ding also revealed a gratified smile, and immediately set his eyes on the Little Medical Fairy, saying with a bit of playfulness: "Little Crazy, why don't you introduce us to who this beautiful lady is?"
"Look at my memory!"
Xiao Feng patted his forehead, took Xiao Yixian's hand and said, "Brother, second brother, let me introduce her to you. Her name is Xiao Yixian, and she is a good friend I just met not long ago."
"good friend?"
Seeing the intimate behavior of the two, Xiao Li couldn't help but joked: "I think she is a confidante~"
"You're right!"
Facing Xiao Li's teasing, Xiao Feng nodded calmly.
Although Xiao Feng and Xiao Yixian have not known each other for too long, the two have been alone in the desert for more than half a month, relying on each other for life and death. The relationship between them has long surpassed that of ordinary friends.
If Xiao Xun'er hadn't been worried about someone complaining, causing her to become jealous, the relationship between Xiao Feng and Xiao Yixian would definitely have gone a step further.
"Little Medical Fairy, let me introduce them to you. This is my eldest brother Xiao Ding, and the one next to him is my second brother Xiao Li."
"Hello."
The little medical fairy's pretty face flushed slightly and she greeted him obediently.
I don't know if it's due to psychological effects, but at this moment, Xiao Yixian inexplicably felt guilty about following her boyfriend to meet his parents.
"Since you are good friends with Crazy Little, you should call us Big Brother and Second Brother just like him."
After looking the Little Medical Fairy up and down, Xiao Ding nodded with satisfaction: "If that little lunatic dares to bully you in the future, your second brother and I will definitely teach him a lesson for you."
Because Xiao Yixian had excellent looks and temperament, Xiao Ding had a very good first impression of her.
Originally, Xiao Ding was a little worried that Xiao Feng would be affected by Nalan Yanran's visit to cancel the engagement, but now he is finally relieved.
"Okay, we'll talk about other things later."
Xiao Feng waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and prepare bath water and bedrooms for us. Xiao Yixian and I have been in the desert for more than half a month. Now I just want to take a comfortable bath and then have a good sleep."
"Okay, okay, I'll have someone arrange it right away."
Following Xiao Ding's order, the servants in the mansion began to get busy, preparing the bath water and guest rooms as quickly as possible.
Originally, Xiao Li was planning to hold a welcome party that evening to welcome Xiao Feng and the others, but he was stopped by Xiao Ding.
After all, Xiao Feng and the others had just come out of the desert, and what they needed more than attending a banquet was a good rest.
Therefore, Xiao Ding arranged the welcome party for tomorrow night, which would be a good opportunity to gather the backbone members of the Motie Mercenary Group together and introduce them to each other.
…
The scorching sun shines through the window and falls on the dry bluestone floor.
Xiao Feng, who had finally managed to relax, also had a rare late sleep and was still sleeping soundly with the quilt in his arms.
"Squeak~"
There was a slight sound of a door opening, followed by a petite figure in a light green dress who tiptoed in from outside.
Just as the visitor was about to quietly place the washbasin in his hand on the wooden table in the room, he found that Xiao Feng had opened his eyes and was looking at him with curiosity.
If Xiao Feng guessed correctly, the little girl in the green dress who looked only about ten years old, with delicate features and like a porcelain doll, should be Qing Lin.
Seeing that Xiao Feng had woken up, Qing Lin quickly put down the wash basin in his hand, bowed timidly to him and said, "I'm sorry, Master Xiao Feng, I didn't mean to wake you up."
"It doesn't matter."
Xiao Feng smiled gently and said, "I usually get up early, so today I slept in."
Seeing that Xiao Feng didn't blame him, Qing Lin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said nervously, "Master Xiao... Master Xiao Feng, can I help you wash up?"
