Chapter 27 Jealousy

"Hey, how cowardly is King Yan! As the leader of the base, his own brother was killed, but instead of seeking revenge, he took the initiative to apologize with gifts. It's really shameful!"

"That's right! Although the Lord of Panlong Mountain is too powerful, you should at least have some dignity, right?"

"That's right! Following such a boss, we are afraid that we will have no future in this life."

It has to be said that gossip is always the deepest desire of human beings.

No matter when, as long as there are people, gossip will be born.

No matter what the surrounding environment is, no matter who the protagonist is, nothing can stop its birth.

No, since the last time King Yan went to apologize to Shi Xuan with a generous gift, a wave of gossip about him has been set off in the base.

In these gossips and rumors, King Yan was directly portrayed as an unqualified leader who has no backbone, only knows how to admit his mistakes, and is extremely cowardly.

It is similar to the portrayal of Shi Xuan as a selfish turtle who only dares to hide in Panlong Mountain.

No one really verified whether the rumor was true or not, and no one cared. The reason why King Yan admitted his defeat was to prevent Shi Xuan's anger from affecting "ordinary people" like them.

It was not because he was afraid of death!

At this moment, everyone had forgotten that not long ago, King Yan had risked his life to hunt a fifth-level mutant beast in order to solve the food problem for everyone.

Everything, all the achievements he had made, were completely denied because of this "admission".

The wicked repented and became a Buddha, and the good people took a knife and cut the body on the spot;

Sometimes the facts are so cruel. Even if you have done ten thousand good things, as long as there is a stain, everything will be cleared.

Of course, it is possible that the first person who spread this rumor was just a complaint when he was bored.

But it is undeniable that it has evolved to the end and has become a sharp blade that can tear people's hearts.

Even with King Yan's character, after hearing these rumors, his eyes trembled.

King Yan wanted to clarify the rumors, but he didn't know how to do it.

It's impossible for him, the leader of the base, to kill the people he has protected for several years like Shi Xuan did, and use fear to mediate everything, right?

So the situation of King Yan at this moment is a million times more uncomfortable than Shi Xuan at the beginning.

He was full of depression, but he didn't know how to vent it at all, and he didn't even dare to show his weakness in front of the people in the base.

He was afraid that some of his performance would make these vicious rumors worse again.

"You are so miserable. I feel a little sympathetic to you."

In the research institute, Shi Xuan looked at King Yan who was sitting in front of him in a daze, and couldn't help but frowned.

It turned out that this guy had no one to talk to about the recent rumors about himself, so he could only come to Shi Xuan's research institute.

In the base today, for King Yan, only Shi Xuan's place is a piece of pure land.

After half a month of rumors, King Yan finally understood what Shi Xuan felt when he saw the banners hanging at the door.

At this moment, this once high-spirited fifth-level psychic was sitting there like a frost-bitten eggplant, not at all spirited.

"Hey, do you want me to kill a few people for you to deter them from spreading rumors? If you can't do it yourself, I can help you."

Looking at the look on King Yan's face, Shi Xuan was speechless for a while, and then kindly proposed a solution.

Obviously, the last time Zhang Jianpan and Feng Yunsheng were killed, it did not affect the relationship between the two.

"Don't! Don't! Don't do it! I can handle it myself, you don't have to do it, let alone hurt the people in the base"

However, after listening to Shi Xuan's words, King Yan was so shocked that he almost jumped up from the spot, and waved his hands repeatedly to refuse the other party's help.

"Even if people say this about you, don't you forget to protect them? Ha, you are really a cheap skin."

Seeing this, Shi Xuan couldn't help but be speechless again, and then he pouted his lips and ruthlessly complained about King Yan's reaction.

"Uh"

Yan Wang's face flashed with embarrassment when he heard this, as if he didn't know how to respond to Shi Xuan's words. He thought for a long time before speaking.

"Actually, it's nothing to be scolded. I'll find a chance to clarify it after a while! The people in our base are essentially very kind. The reason why they are spreading rumors now is probably because they are temporarily obsessed."

Yan Wang smiled bitterly and touched his head, showing a "silly" look.

"So you must not use violent means to interfere with them, otherwise it will cause unnecessary harm and the gain will outweigh the loss."

Although he wanted to help, Shi Xuan had to give up after Yan Wang refused again and again.

"Forget it, don't help, I just save my worries. It's almost lunch time, do you want to eat something from me?"

Shi Xuan waved his hand and stopped worrying about Yan Wang's affairs. Instead, he turned around and asked Stark to bring the prepared turkey, roast duck and other big meals from the back kitchen.

"Ah? Have lunch at your place? No thanks! Don't worry about me, I just want to be quiet, you eat yours! And I brought some dry food with me, if I'm hungry, I can just eat some steamed buns."

King Yan was still the same, directly refusing to eat Shi Xuan's luxurious lunch, took out a shriveled steamed bun from his arms, and ate it by himself.

And while eating, his eyes were still a little straight, obviously still thinking about the recent rumors in the base.

Being criticized by a group of people he trusted the most, it must be a lie to say that he didn't care, but King Yan was not good at expressing himself, so he didn't directly express his feelings.

""

Looking at King Yan, who was like a punching bag, chewing a steamed bun and staring blankly, Shi Xuan couldn't help but be speechless again.

At the same time, looking at King Yan like this, a question that had existed in Shi Xuan's heart for a long time also emerged again.

After a moment of hesitation, Shi Xuan decided to take this opportunity today to ask about the thing he had always been curious about.

"Hey, Brother Yan, can I ask you something?"

Faced with Shi Xuan's inquiry, King Yan was stunned at first, but he didn't hesitate and agreed very readily.

"Ah? Ask me something? What is it? Ask it. If I know it, I will definitely tell you."

Looking at such a straightforward King Yan, Shi Xuan was no longer polite, his eyes lit up directly, and he started the knowledge-seeking and exploration mode.

"Okay, then I'll ask, but how should I start?"

But when the words came to his lips, Shi Xuan hesitated again, not knowing how to organize his words.

"Well, let me tell you how I came up with this question! Brother Yan, do you know what the first emotion that emerged in my mind when I first saw you was?"

In the end, Shi Xuan decided to start with his own feelings and then ask the question.

"Huh? What was the emotion when you first saw me? How would I know? Envy? Respect? Contempt? Or look down on me?"

When King Yan heard Shi Xuan's weird question, he was speechless for a while. He didn't know how to answer at all, and could only guess a bunch of emotions helplessly.

But unfortunately, none of his guesses were correct.

"None of them, it's jealousy!"

Jealousy? ? ?

Shi Xuan's answer immediately made King Yan stunned again.

Because he never thought that Shi Xuan would be jealous of him
