Yang Haoran did not want to say much, and Boss Huo did not ask further, he just smiled kindly at Yang Haoran, then turned his gaze to Xu ijing again.
"From your looks, it seems you two are about to leave? The Underworld Envoy's gambling match has not even started yet, won't it be a pity to leave now?" Boss Huo asked with a smile.
"We have no interest in the gambling match, and we are not planning to participate, so what's there to be a pity about?" Xu ijing asked indifferently.
Boss Huo shook his head with a smile, not agreeing with Xu ijing's statent.
"Every year, the gambling match between the Underworld Envoys will have soone shine brightly, once unknown, but after a gambling match, they beco famous, isn't that a good thing?" Boss Huo asked with a smile.
"What's so good about that?" Xu ijing countered.
"Hehe, with your own reputation, you can more easily build your own network, which is not a small benefit for your future developnt." Boss Huo explained with a smile.
Xu ijing smiled faintly, then asked, "Boss Huo, do you have any plans for this year, planning to find soone to gamble with?"
Upon hearing this, Boss Huo shook his head, revealing a wry smile on his face, saying helplessly, "I would like to, but unfortunately my strength is limited, I'm afraid I'll make a fool of myself."
"Boss Huo is joking, you are an experienced Burial Master, if you don't have the confidence, we two newcors wouldn't dare to try." Xu ijing replied with a faint smile.
Boss Huo laughed heartily, saying, "Newcors don't necessarily have to be weak in strength, I can tell that both of you are capable people, in a gambling match with other Underworld Envoys, you might not necessarily lose. Why not give it a try, I'll provide you both with so reference, if you win, it's yours, if you lose, I'll share half the burden for you."
Hearing this, the smile on Xu ijing's face beca even more pronounced.
Yang Haoran remained expressionless, still wearing a smiling expression, but in his heart, he had so suspicions.
There's no such thing as a free lunch, and treasures don't just fall from the sky, abnormal benefits often have a certain purposefulness, especially in the case of the opposite sex.
In Yang Haoran's view, Boss Huo's purpose in saying these words at this ti may be to gain Xu ijing's favor, or to determine his and Xu ijing's strength through the gambling match, or perhaps so other intentions.
He couldn't be sure exactly what the other party was up to, but based on his years of experience, the other party's actions definitely had other purposes, and it was definitely not just for their benefit.
Although he was thinking this way, Yang Haoran didn't show any vigilance or disgust on his face, he didn't even have the intention to remind Xu ijing, because he wanted to see what decision Xu ijing would make in this situation.
If Xu ijing agreed to Boss Huo's proposal, he would definitely intervene to stop Xu ijing, otherwise, if Xu ijing was not interested in it, that would be the best, he wouldn't even need to speak up.
However, in Yang Haoran's view, Xu ijing is not the kind of person without a brain, he believes Xu ijing should be able to see the problem, and if Xu ijing sees the problem but still agrees to the other party's proposal, then he might have to re-examine the relationship between Xu ijing and Boss Huo.
The worst scenario that Yang Haoran was worried about did not happen, in the face of Boss Huo's proposal at this ti, Xu ijing smiled and shook her head in refusal.
"I appreciate Boss Huo's kindness, but we two are indeed not interested in this kind of gambling, so we don't want to waste any ti on it."
Boss Huo's expression remained unchanged, the smile on his face still remained, and he did not show the slightest disappointnt.
"If you don't participate in the gambling match, you can also stay and watch the gambling between other Underworld Envoys, you might even learn so experience from it."
"No, we still have so matters to attend to, so we won't linger in the underworld, we'll take our leave first."
Upon hearing this, a disappointed look appeared on Boss Huo's face, but he imdiately smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I won't detain you two, if you have ti in the future, I'll co visit in person."
Yang Haoran did not speak, just smiling and nodding to Boss Huo.
Xu ijing also smiled faintly and responded, "You're always welco."
With that, Xu ijing gave Yang Haoran a look, and the two then turned and left.
Watching the backs of the two leaving, the expression on Boss Huo's face remained unchanged, that smiling look, it was impossible to tell what he was really thinking in his heart.
After leaving the square, the two entered a street, and at this point the two had completely disappeared from Boss Huo's sight, just as they could no longer sense Boss Huo's presence.
"This Boss Huo is not a simple character, is he?" Yang Haoran glanced at Xu ijing and said with a smile.
Xu ijing smiled faintly, stepping forward as she spoke.
"Indeed not a simple character, just like you, he is also a Smiling Tiger with hidden blades."
Hearing Xu ijing say this, Yang Haoran felt a bit embarrassed, but he also felt relieved in his heart.
The embarrassnt was because of Xu ijing's description, and the relief was because Xu ijing understood it clearly.
"He's your soulmate, how was it, do you feel like you've t soone long-lost?" Xu ijing asked with a smile.
Yang Haoran's mouth twitched slightly, then replied with a wry smile, "No, I don't feel like I've t soone long-lost, in fact, I think it's better not to see him."
Xu ijing smiled and then said indifferently, "The first ti I t this Boss Huo, I could already tell that he is a Smiling Tiger, but since he has helped before, I don't have any strong feelings towards him, neither liking nor disliking him."
Hearing this, Yang Haoran smiled and said, "Although I have great confidence in your ability, I still can't help but want to remind you, if possible, try to have as little contact with him as possible."
Yang Haoran's reminder made Xu ijing's smile even more pronounced.
"What are you worried about?" Xu ijing asked with a smile.
"This Boss Huo is prudent in his comings and goings, I'm afraid that if you have too much contact with him, he will gradually seep into you, and then I'm afraid you'll be sold out and even help count the money." Yang Haoran said.
"Isn't this considered talking behind his back?" Xu ijing asked with a smile.
For this question from Xu ijing, Yang Haoran didn't even think about it and just responded.
"If you want to understand it that way, that's fine, but if he really treats you as prey, I wouldn't mind killing him behind his back."
As he said this, the smile on Yang Haoran's face was as amiable as ever, and there was no sense of killing intent at all, it seed like he was just making a little joke.
But Xu ijing knew that Yang Haoran was not joking, after all, the two of them were no longer the ones who just t, they had a deep understanding of each other.
"You Smiling Tigers are really too dangerous, to be companions with people like you, it's like courting death, I can't even tell which of your words are true and which are false, who knows, maybe one day I'll be sched against by you and don't even know it."
Yang Haoran laughed awkwardly and quickly explained, "Not you, don't lump in with them, he is him and I am , I don't know if he has any ill intentions towards you, but I definitely don't."
Xu ijing seed to be intrigued by Yang Haoran's words, she thought for a mont, then asked with a smile, "How can you prove it?"
Yang Haoran's smile faltered, Xu ijing's question really stumped him.
How to prove it?
He couldn't think of a way to prove it for a mont.
If he uses the existence of the soul-refinent cauldron to prove the relationship between them, this can only prove that Xu ijing has no intention of killing him, because if Xu ijing wanted to kill him, she could have solved him in the cave and not let him walk out alive.
But the existence of the soul-refinent cauldron does not prove that he has no ill intentions towards Xu ijing.
The existence of the soul-refinent cauldron, a thing that cannot be seen, the more people know about it, the more detrintal it is to himself. Except for himself, who can guarantee that Yang Haoran will not commit murder and cover it up because of the soul-refinent cauldron?
Yang Haoran knows he absolutely will not do this, but what if Xu ijing has so thoughts about it?
After all, in his view, a person like him can hardly be considered an upright person in Xu ijing's eyes.
To make Xu ijing not misunderstand him, he must find a way to prove that he has no intention of harming Xu ijing, but he couldn't find a good way to do that.
After thinking about it, Yang Haoran still just smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"I can't find a good way to prove myself, if you don't trust , you can plant so secret techniques or sothing inside , then you'll know if I'm lying to you or not."
Seeing Yang Haoran's bitter expression, Xu ijing laughed heartily, amused by Yang Haoran's expression.
"Haha, don't worry, if I didn't trust you, I wouldn't have co this close to you. Whether you have any ill intentions towards , I can certainly feel it, after all, we're not just eting for the first ti. As for that Boss Huo, I know what's going on, you don't need to worry."
At this point, Xu ijing paused briefly, then looked at Yang Haoran and continued with a smile, "If one day I really get sched against by you, I, Xu ijing, will accept it, I won't bla anyone, I'll only bla myself for being short-sighted and trusting the wrong person."
