Chapter 286 Russell is not good at dealing with straight balls
Walnut's sudden words made Russell lose his mind in an instant.

But he quickly calmed down.

Resisting the shock in his heart, Russell grinned and made a joke: "Who in the Ming Dynasty dares to force me? Could it be Ye Diantang?"

His teacher is one of the few master card makers in the Ming Dynasty. Ye Zhou is indeed the only one in the Ming Dynasty who has the qualification to force him to do something he doesn't want to do.

Of course, this is what is said on the surface.

Walnut was not fooled by Russell's joke, but said in a firm tone: "Someone forced you."

Although he didn't know how his senior sister knew it, Russell certainly wouldn't admit it just like that.

What's more, he had no idea how much the tall woman in front of him knew.

Thinking of this, Russell pretended to have a headache and said, "Senior Sister, why do you think so?"

“No one forced me.”

In this situation, he could only ask Hu Tao why she had such an idea, and then find a way to fool her.

It was impossible to confess directly, and Russell didn't want things to go in an uncontrollable direction.

Although it is now vaguely beyond his control.

Hearing Russell's question, Hu Tao was silent for a while before talking about a small incident that happened in Donglai before: "Donglai."

"You used your powers on them."

Hearing this, Russell was stunned at first, and then began to recall in his mind what his senior sister was talking about.

If he remembered correctly, he had only met Hu Tao once when he was working in Donglai.

That was when the secret realm suddenly appeared in Laiyang County.

In order to resolve the threat posed by the secret realm, he had no choice but to ask his senior sister to go to Donglai to provide support.

Although in the end Russell broke into the secret realm with the help of the newly made blue dye.

"Wait, Aizen." Thinking of this, Russell paused and muttered to himself, "Mirror Flower and Water Moon."

He remembered that time he seemed to have asked Aizen to release Mirror Flower and Water Moon on Zeng Bo and Lu Yan in front of Kurumi.

"Did Senior Sister notice it?"

Russell really didn't expect that Walnut could notice such details.

All I can say is that he, who was still a gold-level card maker at that time, still underestimated the diamond-level card makers.

"But based on this alone, Senior Sister shouldn't be able to come to the conclusion that someone is forcing me."

New doubts surged into Russell's mind.

Suppressing his doubts, he said in a slightly bewildered manner: "Senior Sister, what do you mean?"

Playing dumb is a good choice at this time. Although Russell could explain it by saying that he had just arrived in Donglai and was unfamiliar with the place, and asked Aizen to use Mirror Flower and Water Moon simply to keep a backup plan.

However, Kurumi seemed to really think that Russell didn't understand what she meant, and explained in a calm tone: "Hypnotic ability."

"You used it on them."

Russell felt a little helpless for a moment. From his senior sister, he deeply understood what sincerity was, which was the ultimate skill.

Walnut completely blocked his way of pretending to be stupid.

But he still did not choose to answer directly, but asked back: "Senior sister, why do you think there is a connection between my hypnotizing them and someone forcing me?"

"You admitted it."

"?"

Russell was about to refute Walnut when a white hand blocked his mouth: "I'm not"

Interrupting Russell's words, Walnut put down her hand and looked down at her plump thighs.

Even though I can only see half of it.

She whispered, "Sima Huai and the two assassination attempts you suffered."

"Not the same group of people."

Previously in Donglai, the vice president and the president were assassinated one after another. People who are not aware of the inside story will most likely confuse the two.

But Walnut had investigated.

She didn't know who attacked Russell the first time, but she didn't know who attacked Sima Huai the second time.
It is a begging meeting.

"Junior brother."

"You are Lucy."

"Is it right?"

When Russell heard the word "Lu Xi", his heart stopped and his knuckles turned white from the slight force he exerted in shock.

But in fact, he already had a bad feeling when he heard Sima Huai.

As expected, Hu Tao directly released a big move.

Facing the torture from his senior sister, Russell first scratched his cheek, then laughed dryly: "Haha."

"Sister, stop joking. How could I be Lu Xi?"

But when he saw his senior sister looking straight at him, Russell's voice softened involuntarily.

He wailed in his heart: "It's over, my underwear has been seen through."

But in the face of Russell's performance, Walnut just pursed her lips and moved her perfect body to sit next to him.

The young man only felt his palm being gently pulled up, and then it was wrapped in something soft.

"You go to Donglai, and Lu Xi will appear in Donglai."

"When you leave, Lu Xi disappears."

"And the Qiling Society also assassinated Sima Huai, who had a conflict with you."

What Hu Tao didn't say was that after her investigation, Lu Xi had never done anything to harm the association since he appeared.

Even helped the association.

For example, telling the East Laika Master Association that there is an emerald-level monster in the secret realm on the sea.

Moreover, how could the Qiling Society have such a brilliant card maker without anyone noticing?
Fortunately, Lu Xi's identity has basically only been active in Donglai, and has not attracted the attention of anyone except Hu Tao who went to investigate. However, after hearing these words, Russell's first reaction was to say that such a long and difficult sentence was a bit embarrassing for Hu Tao.

But he quickly suppressed his wild thoughts.

After a long silence, Russell held Roudi with his backhand and said calmly: "It will be okay. No one forced me."

"Trust me, okay? Senior Sister."

"I will never do anything to let my teacher down."

This was indeed what Russell said. He knew that he and Jinping would face off one day, it was just a matter of sooner or later.

After all, he had long been labeled Bai Yueming.

If he had not become a member of the Spirit Begging Society by accident when he was still a Black Iron-level card maker, he would probably be worrying about how to catch Jin Ping's tail now.

Unlike now, he has successfully risen to a high position in the Begging Spirit Society and can even get some benefits from them from time to time.

But sooner or later Russell will play a role for Jinping as an enemy in Honnoji.

Hu Tao felt the warmth coming from her hand at this moment and didn't say anything else.

She just looked at the young man beside her quietly.

After a long while, Hu Tao finally responded in a low voice.

".Um."

Then, she stared at Russell with a pair of emotionless eyes, and her tone rarely showed a little fluctuation: "Remember to find me if you have anything."

"I don't want to be alone anymore."

She chose to respect her junior's choice.

Hearing this, Russell nodded heavily and said solemnly: "I know, don't worry."

As he finished speaking, the living room fell into silence.

After a while, Kurumi stood up and whispered, "I'm leaving first."

"My class will be starting soon."

After seeing Walnut off, Russell couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He never expected that he would reveal his true colors in front of Hu Tao in Donglai.

Fortunately, the final result was not bad.

He buried his face in the sofa helplessly and said sullenly, "Why do I feel like I'm getting further and further down the path of being a scumbag?"

God bless him, the conversation he just had with Walnut was all from the heart.

"Really."

"How did things turn out like this?"

"I'm so glad you're okay, Ronaldinho."

In Jizhou Town, a short-haired woman was smiling and patting the shoulder of the young man next to her.

"You've been missing for so long that I was planning to burn paper for you next year."

The two people are naturally Russell and Wen Jing.

Hearing this, Russell curled his lips and said, "Then Sister Wen, remember to burn more for me. I'm afraid that inflation is severe down there now."

He remembered that the largest denomination of Tiandi Bank he had ever seen was 10 billion.

Hearing Russell's words, Wen Jing grinned and laughed without paying any attention to her image: "Hahaha, that's for sure."

After the joke, Russell got down to business: "How was the siege last time?"

Because he was teleported to Great Britain, Russell did not know what happened after the siege that day.

However, after he returned to Jizhou Town, he could clearly notice that the atmosphere in the city was a little bleak, and there were more unfamiliar faces.

It seems that the situation is not going to be very good.

Hearing Russell's question, Wen Jing instantly stopped smiling and said bitterly, "A lot of people in the city have been killed."

"But many of them died in that death battle space."

"After Master Ji arrived, there were no more casualties."

Russell was not surprised by Wen Jing's words. After all, he had discovered in the death battle space that as long as the card maker was not dead, he would be continuously attacked by monsters, and these were enhanced monsters.

Basically, those who can survive are either people like Wen Jing who can play hide-and-seek, or card makers who are very strong and can withstand a round-the-clock battle without being defeated.

Of course, you can also break through the deathmatch space directly like Russell did.

Russell felt a little sad for a moment.

After a while, Wen Jing calmed down and became her heartless self again: "I'm glad you're back, Xiao Luo."

"Otherwise I'll have to adapt all over again."

Rather than a newcomer with whom she has no idea and no chemistry, she certainly prefers Russell, who has guaranteed ability and has worked with him for some time.

"That's right." Russell nodded in agreement, then sighed, "So it's our turn to go on a mission again?"

Wen Jing followed with a sigh: "Yeah."

"After all, that base has disappeared. If we want to obtain the experimental data, we have to search for it again."

The target stronghold of the last siege had been turned into dust following Ji Weirui's attack.

It would be better if many of the surrounding demon strongholds suffered a devastating disaster.

In retaliation, the demon army recently mobilized a large number of troops and stationed them at the border.

Although a war between the Northern Defense Army and the Demon Army is inevitable.

However, the Northern Defense Army still tried to obtain relevant information about the demonization experiment, but they could no longer launch large-scale siege operations as before.

"Let's go, get to work."

Wen Jing shook her head, then took Russell away.
