224 Strange

After a while, Fang Zhixing, well-fed and content, left the restaurant, leading Xigou by the leash.

Wang Jiayun and the Short Axe followed closely behind.

Soon, they found Cuizhu Pavilion and checked in without trouble.

Fang Zhixing booked three rooms, giving Short Axe a room to himself.

Then he closed the door.

Fang Zhixing sat in a chair, eyes closed in deep thought.

Xigou sat next to him, his head buried in contemplation.

After a long while, Fang Zhixing opened his eyes.

Xigou immediately asked, "What do you think? Should I just go test that Short Axe, bite him to death maybe?"

Fang Zhixing shook his head firmly and said, "No, that's too risky. If he turns out to be an extraordinarily skilled master, we would be doomed."

Anxious, Xigou asked, "Then what can we do, just let him bother us incessantly?"

Fang Zhixing stood up, meditating, "You stay here and keep watch. I'll go out for a walk."

"...All right."

Xigou replied helplessly.
