Chapter 105 Conflict is Inevitable
"So, for the next three days, this place will turn into a...market? And there might even be conflict?"
Shao Bing saw further ahead; the transaction was bound to be anything but smooth sailing, it all came down to who had the better skills.
"Conflict is inevitable!" Fu Xiaojian nodded.
"But since the 'Martial God Car Team' has been organized, and its strength is undoubtedly the strongest, it will at least maintain basic order on the surface."
"As for outside of trade fairs, it's hard to say."
"Remember, everyone, whether it's a transaction or any contact, always do it openly and remain vigilant."
"Especially you two, you're not allowed to act alone." Su Su's cold eyes swept over Jiao Jiao and Xiao Luo.
"Okay, okay!" Jiao Jiao pouted, but didn't dare to argue.
Her greatest strength is knowing what she can and cannot do; even though she's arrogant, she has principles.
While everyone in the camp was excitedly discussing the trade fair, Fu Xiaojian quietly went to the side with Xu Si.
"How is it?" Fu Xiaojian didn't explain it too clearly.
The 'Flame Chariot' was also watching them intently from the side. With that Listener around, they were restrained in everything they did.
"The Spirit Turtle Caravan!" Xu Si didn't say it explicitly, but just emphasized it.
Apart from not having seen the full picture of the Martial God Caravan, the only caravan he couldn't understand was the Spirit Turtle Caravan.
"By the way, where is the Beauty Caravan's base? I haven't seen it." Xu Si asked.
Currently, he hasn't thoroughly scanned the members of the Turtle Racing Team, the Beauty Racing Team, and the God of War Racing Team.
The Turtle Team was an accident.
He never intended to use star trails to explore the Martial God Caravan.
On the one hand, he was not confident that he could completely evade the perception of Sequence 3, and on the other hand, he did not know whether the Martial God Team might have some strange Sequence Extraordinaries.
It would be embarrassing if I made a mistake.
"Those twenty-odd vehicles in the square belong to the Martial God Car Team and the Beauty Car Team. It is said that half of the Martial God Car Team is currently monitoring the hunting target, so Wu Yue invited the Beauty Car Team to maintain order," Fu Xiaojian explained to Xu Si.
As for the "Spirit Turtle Caravan," Fu Xiaojian mentally raised the danger level several notches. Since Xu Si had said that, there must be a reason.
Xu Si sighed helplessly. Indeed, women are the most suitable social creatures.
Seeing that it was still early, Xu Si decided to go to the circus to have his fortune told first, so as to avoid going through all the trouble.
After exchanging pleasantries, Xu Si prepared to leave again.
"Brother Dao, Brother Dao, where are you going again?" The little girl perked up instantly. She couldn't go anywhere alone, but following Brother Dao shouldn't be a problem!
"Let's go find Xiaoxiao to play, does anyone want to come?"
Since this was a formal visit, it didn't matter that he brought two extra children.
"Me! Me! Me!"
"Me! Me! Me!"
Sure enough, Xiao Luo and Jiao Jiao eagerly signed up.
Jiao Jiao stared longingly at her aunt not far away, and only after her aunt nodded silently did she excitedly cheer.
Xu Si, carrying Jiao Jiao and Xiao Luo, the two burdens, headed towards the "Magic Circus" camp.
On the narrow paths amidst the ruins, a few ordinary survivors can be seen moving around, presumably searching for any possible supplies.
Some people gathered in small groups, trying to exchange something; others eyed Xu Si and his two companions warily, their gazes lingering on the little girl.
Since acquiring the purification ability, the little girl keeps herself spotless every day, a trait she's unique among all the survivors.
Even the entire salary train fleet stood out from the crowd.
After all, this is the Gobi Desert, where most convoys have trouble even getting drinking water, let alone washing up.
The little girl instinctively gripped the corner of Xu Si's cloak tightly; she now truly understood what it meant to be surrounded by a pack of hungry wolves.
If she had come out alone, she would probably have been torn to shreds by now!
"What are you looking at! Haven't you ever seen a beautiful woman before? Look again and I'll gouge your eyes out!" Jiao Jiao felt a little uneasy under those gazes and couldn't help but scold them, while deliberately moving closer to Xu Si.
As she spoke, she even showed off the pistol she had specially brought out.
Xu Si ignored those gazes, his scarlet star-like eyes sweeping across them indifferently. Those whose gazes fell upon him unconsciously lowered their heads or looked away, feeling a chill inexplicably in their hearts.
The "Magic Circus" camp was not far away. The area had only one remaining windbreak wall, and half of the space was used for animal activities, which was somewhat out of place with the style of other caravans.
"Ah! Red-haired monsters! It's you!" Little One spotted them immediately and exclaimed in surprise. The elephant behind her neighed and followed closely behind, trying to protect her.
"Xiao Xiao!" Xiao Luo and Jiao Jiao happily went to greet her.
The three teenagers, who were about the same age, quickly gathered together and chattered about their experiences after they parted ways.
Jack and the others, who were talking inside the tent, only came out to take a look when they heard the commotion. They nodded to Xu Si and then went back into the tent.
Last time, Xu Si and his group didn't kick someone when they were down, and they certainly won't do anything unwise this time either.
"Brother Dao, you were looking for me!" Perhaps she sensed from the little girl that Xu Si wanted to see her, so Xiao Xiao still greeted Xu Si politely.
"I've come this time to ask Xiaoxiao for another favor."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao immediately understood what Xu Si meant.
"Are you still considered my sister? What are you considered this time?"
"Where is she?"
"It doesn't count," Xiao Xiao said with a bitter expression.
Xu Si then realized that the Diviner Sequence 1 could only divine both the positive and negative aspects of things.
"Let's do a divination to see if she'll come to this caravan gathering," Xu Si said.
"How about this as payment?" Xu Si took out a compressed biscuit from his cloak.
Right now, Xu Si's most abundant supplies are water and oil, but he always feels that they are not presentable enough.
Therefore, he could only use some of his most treasured resources.
"Okay!" Xiao Xiao was very happy. Brother Dao was so kind to her, he opened a business for her as soon as he arrived.
Just like last time, it was still the same "fortune teller's coin," and it was still Xu Si who tossed it. However, this time Xu Si's mindset was completely different.
「背面」
When the coin finally landed, the three little ones looked at Xu Si with some worry in their eyes. Pure children don't have so many ulterior motives at this time.
"It's okay, we'll meet again eventually," Xiao Xiao comforted him softly, knowing that feeling all too well.
She lost her parents at a young age and grew up in a circus. She didn't know how many times she had her family members divined, but all of them came to nothing.
A diviner cannot divine for himself.
"Okay, I understand."
His heart tightened, but he also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
It's a dilemma of both fearing to encounter it and fearing not to.
He was afraid something might happen to her, afraid she would be bullied, afraid she would blame him, but when none of this came to a conclusion, he felt empty.
