Eating garlic!\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xiao Xiaofan blinked his eyes, smiled cunningly at Xiao Xiaodong and said &#8220;I want to eat, eat a lot. When I meet Xiao Yuerong, I will\u2026.\u2026 \u201c Xiao Xiaofan rushed to Xiao Xiaodong&#8217;s side and exhaled. Xiao Xiaodong <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hurriedly covered his nose and Xiao Xiaofan triumphantly added &#8220;Smoke him to death.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xiao Xiaodong&#8217;s face darkened as he said &#8220;You will smoke me to death before you smoke him to death.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xiao Xiaofan looked at Xiao Xiaodong, tilted his head, and said &#8220;Big brother, you&#8217;re afraid of the stink.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xiao Xiaodong&#8217;s face darkened even more as he thought to himself: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nonsense! He was an ordinary person. Of course he was afraid of stink.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xiao Xiaofan took out a box of stinky tofu from his storage bag and Xiao Xiaodong finally couldn\u2019t bear it any longer and jumped out of the carriage saying he wanted to change the carriage.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2026\u2026<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xiao Jingting looked out of the window nervously.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;You&#8217;re nervous!&#8221; Xu Muan said.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xiao Jingting nodded and said &#8220;I&#8217;m going to see my parents. Of course I&#8217;m a little nervous.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xu Muan understood that Xiao Jingting was worried that his identity as an outsider would be discovered by the parents of the original body owner. Xu Muan grabbed Xiao Jingting&#8217;s hand and said &#8220;In fact your parents often go out and leave you in care of the family servants.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xiao Jingting nodded and said &#8220;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes! The person my parents care<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the most is the eldest brother.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If Xiao Qingyan had changed, the parents of the original body owner might have noticed but if it was Xiao Jingting, the probability would have been greatly reduced.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A guard sent Xiao Xiaodong to the carriage of Xiao Jingting and Xu Muan.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Why are you here?&#8221; Xu Muan asked.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;My brother ate garlic, and now he is eating stinky tofu. His whole body stinks badly.&#8221; Xiao Xiaodong was very depressed.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Xiaofan! Why does he suddenly want to eat those things?&#8221; Xiao Jingting thought it was a bit strange, Xiao Xiaofan liked to eat sweets! He could eat more than ten sweet bean buns at time.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;He said he wanted to smoke out Xiao Yuerong.&#8221; Xiao Xiaodong said.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xiao Jingting&#8217;s face sank,secretly thinking:<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Xiao Yuerong gave Xiao Xiaofan such a big psychological shadow! So much so that when he thought of going home, Xiao Xiaofan behaved like he was about to face his greatest enemy. If they go back, the two children will inevitably meet. The parents of the original body owner were very fond of Xiao Qingyan&#8217;s two sons but were not very good to the original body owner sons.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xiao Jingting stroked his chin, after he went home, he should try his best to avoid Xiao Qingyan!<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xiao Jinfeng looked at the scenery outside the window and sighed.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;What&#8217;s the matter?&#8221; Mu Shuyu asked.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xiao Jinfeng shook his head and said &#8220;It&#8217;s nothing, I just thought that after I go back, I might meet some acquaintances. I don&#8217;t know how the mercenary team has developed now.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When he had just been expelled from the mercenary team, Xiao Jinfeng was filled with resentment towards the mercenary team. But when his days became better, coupled with the company of a lovely wife and son, Xiao Jinfeng&#8217;s hatred towards the mercenary team had diluted a lot.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mu Shuyu laughed coldly, full of sarcasm. \u201cHua Yufeng is greedy and reckless. He always felt that your cautious behavior limited the development of the mercenary team so when he finally kicked you out of the mercenary team, he would have a chance to make great plans.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;When the old team captain died unexpectedly, he asked me to help Hua Yufeng. He said that Hua Yufeng was a bit rash and asked me to help admonish him.\u201d Xiao Jinfeng said<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mu Shuyu shrugged and said &#8220;This patch was their own choice, you have already done everything you could.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xiao Jinfeng closed his eyes and said \u201cYes! Since I am already expelled from the mercenary team I should have nothing to do with them.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mu Shuyu lowered his head, in fact he secretly inquired about the current situation of the mercenary team. He heard that the mercenary team had failed several missions in a row and suffered heavy losses, reaching the brink of disbanding. Because he knew the temperament of Hua Yufeng, Mu Shuyu was not surprised by this result.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Knowing the situation of the mercenary team, Mu Shuyu did not sympathize with them at all but gloated.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Desert City&#8217;s Moonlight Restaurant, several mercenaries gathered together.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Xiao Linfeng came back and reorganized the Xiao family and it seems the deputy captain is about to be brought back.&#8221; The one who spoke was Zhang Meng from the fox hunting mercenary team.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt&#8217;s been almost a year, so we don\u2019t know deputy captain&#8217;s strength now.\u201d Zhou Fang sighed.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zhang Meng bowed his head. After the mercenary team had been forced to fire Xiao Jinfeng under pressure, Xiao Jinfeng had become a taboo subject in the mercenary group.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xiao Jinfeng was a generous person, but he acted cautiously. After he left the mercenary team, Hua Yufeng was so eager for success that he led his men to besiege a level five demonic beast and suffered heavy losses from the demonic beast&#8217;s fierce attack.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before that mission, the mercenary team had also dealt with a level five demonic beast, but it was wounded. Moreover, Xiao Jinfeng was also there at that time and after Xiao Jinfeng left, the strength of the mercenary team decreased a lot.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the failure of the operation, Hua Yufeng&#8217;s prestige was greatly diminished, so in order to recover his lost reputation, Hua Yufeng arranged a dangerous mission once again and suffered a big defeat.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The two failed operations caused the mercenary team&#8217;s strength to be greatly reduced, which was far from its former glory.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Even if the deputy captain comes back, he will not return to the mercenary team.&#8221; Zhou Fang said. The mercenary team was all made from the commanders, so they all had vague rejection of Xiao Jinfeng. But after Xiao Jinfeng left, the mercenaries gradually missed Xiao Jinfeng&#8217;s kindness.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;We don&#8217;t know how the deputy captain was doing these days.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zhang Meng sighed and said &#8220;When the deputy captain left, doctor Mu also left. I heard that the deputy captain and doctor Mu got married and they went to live with the deputy captain&#8217;s younger brother.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Assemble.&#8221; Zhao Li walked into the restaurant and said.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zhang Meng frowned and said &#8220;Assemble, do we have another mission?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zhao Li nodded his head and said \u201cYes!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;But now, there are still a lot of people who were injured previously, isn\u2019t it too hasty to go on the mission now?\u201d Zhou Fang asked.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zhao Li frowned and said &#8220;It has been a long time since we did any mission. If we go on like this, the mercenary team will be out of business.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zhou Fang sighed lightly and said &#8220;All right.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Edited by: Tetsu<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Proofreader: Taalia<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Support translation:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/bePatron?u=25191841\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"217\" height=\"51\" class=\"wp-image-338 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ontimestory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/become_a_patron_button.png?resize=217%2C51\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 217px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 217\/51;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ko-fi.com\/lajnaa\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ontimestory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/kofi3-3.png?resize=185%2C47\" alt=\"This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is kofi3-3.png\" width=\"185\" height=\"47\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 185px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 185\/47;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\r\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Xiao Xiaodong sat in the jiao carriage, looked at Xiao Xiaofan and said &#8220;You should stop eating, you stink all over.&#8221; Xiao Xiaodong covered his nose and thought to himself: My brother has a strange hobby!
