The Good-for-Nothing Seventh Miss - Chapter 352

Chapter 352: 352

Chapter 352: Set Off (3)

Shen Yanxiao listened attentively as she sat quietly in the back . Du Lang and Evil Wolf did not exclude her deliberately from the conversation, and she deduced that Du Lang did not fully trust the information that the client had provided them . There was also a possibility that he had his own doubts on whether the Phoenix was really an eighth-rank magical beast .

He seemed like a smart person, and Shen Yanxiao praised him for that .

She knew about the mistake with the Phoenix’s rank because of the information that Xiu had given her . However, Du Lang was utterly unaware of the same information, and he had based his suspicions on his keen senses and vigilance .

As she had expected, Du Lang was not a simple person . That was made more transparent with his position as the leader of the top mercenary group in the Black City .

“Oh yes, how should I address you?” Du Lang suddenly asked Shen Yanxiao .

Shen Yanxiao quirked her eyebrows and casually said, “You can call Huo Xiao . ” The downside to having multiple personalities is the fact that she had to come with a lot of names . Shen Yanxiao had never been good at that, so the simplest solution was to use names that revolved around her real one[1]

Shen Jue, Xiao Yan… Huo Yan was yet another name to be added to the pile . Shen Yanxiao thought that her identity was rather complicated .

Du Lang asked, “Huo Xiao, what do you think about the information that the client had provided about the Phoenix?”

Shen Yanxiao was surprised by Du Lang’s question . It seemed like Du Lang really did have his doubts about the Phoenix’s rank, and he wanted to get some information from her .

However…

“I’m not as knowledgeable about the Phoenix as you think I do . I only know about some of their habits, but not much about their ranks at all . After all, they have not been seen for centuries . ” Shen Yanxiao decided to go with an ambiguous answer . She was only there for the Flame Grass, so she did not need to reveal any information about the Phoenix . If she were to disclose the real information about the Phoenix’s rank to Du Lang, he would probably find an excuse to remove the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group from the mission .

After all, no matter how powerful the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group was, they were still not comparable to magical beasts that were as strong as mythical ones .

If that were to happen, then she was the prime example of someone who had attempted to steal a chicken but lost the rice that she required as bait .

Du Lang did not give her an immediate response when he heard what she had said . He only gave her a thoughtful glance .

He had a constant suspicion in the back of his mind that Huo Xiao had kept some information from him, and it was probably related to the Phoenix . However, Huo Xiao was not a member of his group . Instead, he was only a customer that he had invited along for the mission . Even if he had his doubts, he could not force Huo Xiao to reveal it .

Evil Wolf threw a strange glance at his leader from his seat at the side . Du Land had been very polite to their temporary member . Even the six wolves had never received the same treatment from their leader . When did his iron-blooded leader gain a softer side?

The more he looked at them; the more Evil Wolf felt that Du Lang’s attitude toward Shen Yanxiao was rather strange .

Could the little kid have some powerful background?

However, Evil Wolf could not see anything special about the dull little kid, no matter how he observed him . The kid’s attire could be found in any random shop in the Black City, and there was absolutely nothing unique about them .

Except for the space ring on her finger, she had no other weapons or accessories on her . Coupled with her young age and frail physique, Evil Wolf did not have an optimistic impression about that temporary member .

Furthermore, how did he end up as the little kid’s babysitter?!
