The days of refining medicine always go by very quickly. In the past month, Luo Hong finally refined all the medicinal materials that could be refined into elixirs, which made the shopping column much more enriched, and Luo Hong also had more A lot of sense of security.
To Luo Hong's dismay, the elixir master was not promoted to the yellow level because of this. Come to think of it, the hidden proficiency required for this Yang-level elixir master was quite a lot, but it was because Luo Hong didn't practice much some time ago. It¡¯s because of how many elixirs have been prepared.
After the elixir was refined, Luo Hong was considering whether to go to the Adventurers Association to settle the adventure group's affairs first, or to explore and hunt for treasures under the Jueming Cliff, when trouble came to his door again.
The living room of Ni Mansion.
Ni Fangshan held a cup of hot tea and walked up to a fat middle-aged man who was sitting on a chair with his legs crossed. He said with a smile: "Brother Chang, you can come and sit down at my Ni house. It really makes our Ni house shine." Come, come, please have some tea."
However, there was a trace of deep worry deep in Ni Fangshan's eyes.
"Hmph." Fatty Chang Jiang didn't pick up the tea cup. He snorted coldly and glared at Ni Fangshan: "I was working outside in the past few months, and I didn't come back to Zanyang City until yesterday. But as soon as I returned to Chang's house, I didn't even sit on the chair. Hot, I just got the news that your Ni family is canceling our marriage, Ni Fangshan, tell me, what does this mean?"
Ni Fangshan gave a wry smile and put down the tea cup in his hand. He was about to say something, but was overtaken by Ni Xingkong who barged in: "Uncle Chang, this matter has nothing to do with my father. It's because there is no relationship between me and sister Chang Qian." , that¡¯s why I asked my father to cancel the marriage.¡±
Chang Jiang slapped the table hard, and the cup of water was knocked over immediately. Chang Jiang's eyebrows stood up: "Damn, what do you think of marriage as a big deal? Are children playing house? It's a light sentence without emotion. , can you cancel it easily? By making my daughter the laughing stock of Zanyang City, you are insulting our Chang family and your Ni family. If you don¡¯t give me a satisfactory explanation today, I, Changjiang, will never let you go."
After saying that, Chang Jiang turned to the two middle-aged people who had been standing behind him and said: "Two elders, no one can go out from here without my consent."
"Yes, head of the family." The two middle-aged men nodded.
These two middle-aged men are the two elders of the Chang family, and their cultivation has reached the realm of true high-level spiritual masters. The middle-aged man who looks thinner and slender is a seventh-level spiritual martial artist, and the other A middle-aged man with a mustache is an eighth-level spiritualist
As for the big fat man Chang Jiang, you can¡¯t underestimate him because of his appearance, because Chang Jiang is also a spiritual master and a second-level spiritual beast master.
Seeing Chang Jiang coming with these two elders, Ni Fangshan already knew that this matter would not be easy to resolve.
Ni Xingkong walked up to Chang Jiang and knelt down on one leg, with a look of determination on his face: "Uncle Chang, this is all my own doing and has nothing to do with anyone else. If Uncle Chang wants to blame, then blame Xiao Xiao." Nephew, I, Ni Xingkong, will bear all the responsibility."
"Bear it?" Chang Jiang looked down at Ni Xingkong and said angrily: "Why can you bear my anger? Don't think that I treated you better before, so you think this matter can be easily revealed. Let me tell you, this Absolutely impossible¡±
Ni Xingkong replied without changing his expression: "Just because I am the head of the Ni family, Uncle Chang, don't worry, this matter is my Ni family's fault. You helped our Ni family so much before, so that my Ni family has gained a foothold in Zanyang City. I, Ni Xingkong, am very grateful for having done such a thing that brought shame to the Chang family. I am very ashamed, but I will try my best to repay the Chang family, even if it is the entire Ni family's property, but I will never risk my life. to repay with happiness¡±
"Head of the Ni family?" Chang Jiang looked at Ni Fangshan.
"Yes." Ni Fangshan nodded and said with some frustration: "Two months ago, after Fang Hai's rebellion, I had already passed the title of head of the Ni family to Xingkong, but I still There is no announcement, what Xingkong says can represent the wishes of all of us in the Ni family."
"What if I say, you must marry Qian'er?" Chang Jiang turned his head and asked Ni Xingkong, but there seemed to be some kind of light shining in those small eyes.
"This is absolutely impossible," Ni Xingkong said stubbornly, but his full and gentle eyes looked behind him, where Chang Jiating had come with him.
Ni Xingkong turned his head, but did not notice the smile that flashed across the corner of Chang Jiang's mouth, as if a conspiracy had succeeded. The smile was just a flash in the pan, and Chang Jiang immediately returned to his previous angry expression: "Then I will belong to your Ni family. the property of"
Seeing Ni Fangshan nod helplessly, Ni Xingkong also knew that it would be useless to say more: "Uncle Xingchang, wait a moment, I will order someone to bring it."
A moment later, the servant handed a small box to Ni Xingkong, who opened it and looked at it.After a moment, there was a trace of reluctance in his eyes. After all, it was the place where he grew up, so he gave it away like this. No matter how he felt, he felt a little uncomfortable. Gritting his teeth, Ni Xingkong put the small box on the table next to Chang Jiang:
"Uncle Chang, this is the contract between all the land and shops of my Ni family and the Ni Mansion. Please check it."
Chang Jiang casually rummaged through the box a few times, with a look of disdain in his eyes. Obviously, these things were not taken seriously by him, the head of the Chang family: "That's it? Is there anything else?"
Chang Jiang closed the lid of the box casually, closed his eyes, twirled his fingers lightly on the edge of the chair, and said lightly: "That's all? Is there anything else?"
Ni Xingkong shook his head: "No, apart from those worthless furniture and the like, I believe you don't like them either, Uncle Chang."
"Don't you, the Ni family, have any secrets on spiritual skills, elixirs or medicinal materials?" Chang Jiang continued to ask, the rhythm of his fingers moving the chair seemed to become more rapid.
"No more." Ni Xingkong replied: "Uncle Chang, you also know the predicament of our Ni family. The spiritual skills and secrets that we purchased before have been sold off a long time ago. How can we still have spare money to buy these things? As for the spiritual medicine and medicinal materials, we have already sold them." For a while, our Ni family was just buying things for others."
"Buy it for others? Who are you helping? It's not because you don't want to take it out, so you are making these excuses." Chang Jiang said in a calm tone, but everyone present could hear Chang Jiang's sarcasm. Voice.
"The Ni family bought the elixir materials to help me refine the elixir. Do you have any questions?" Luo Hong's figure stepped in from the door.
"Boss, you're here." Luo Hong's arrival actually gave Ni Xingkong a backbone, and he became more confident in speaking. He quickly asked the servant to bring Luo Hong a chair to sit on.
Seeing Luo Hong¡¯s attitude, a look of displeasure quickly flashed across Chang Jiang¡¯s face, but he quickly suppressed it, clenched his fist and said to Luo Hong:
"It turns out that this little brother is the 'senior' elixir master invited by the Ni family. As expected, he is young Haojie. However, now everything in the Ni family has belonged to my Chang family. I wonder if this little brother can help me. Where is the Chang family refining the elixir? Don't worry, our Chang family will never treat you badly."
In fact, Chang Jiang still looks down upon Luo Hong. After all, given his age, refining medicine is not that advanced no matter how advanced it is. It seems that the Ni family said they have recruited a moon-level elixir master. Maybe it is really true.
But there are two moon-level elixir masters in the Chang family who are interested in Luo Hong. Chang Jiang also has the attitude that if you have something, it¡¯s fine, and if you don¡¯t have it, it doesn¡¯t matter. This can be seen from the word ¡®senior¡¯ he bites hard on.
"Forget it, a 'high-end' family like yours, a little guy like me really can't afford to stay." Luo Hong spread his hands and shrugged, and the tone of his words was obviously exactly the same as Chang Jiang's.
"This ungrateful thing, Patriarch, let me teach him a lesson." The slender middle-aged elder behind Chang Jiang said coldly. If Chang Jiang nodded in the next second, he would pounce on Luo Hong.
"Forget it, Elder Fang, there is no need to be as knowledgeable as the juniors." Chang Jiang waved his hand, making Elder Fang give up the idea of ??taking action.
I don't know why, although Chang Jiang can sense that Luo Hong's realm is similar to his own, or even lower than his own, he always feels that Luo Hong, a young elixir master who looks unusually calm, has a vague sense of threat, so Only Chang Jiang would stop the actions of the elder named Fang to avoid any accidents. After all, Chang Jiang's real goal was not this.
"Ni Xingkong, have you really handed over all the property of your Ni family?" Chang Jiang stared at Ni Xingkong and asked, his voice a little more stern than before.
Ni Xingkong looked at Chang Jiang without fear: "Yes, they are all here."
"It's more than that." Chang Jiang suddenly smiled strangely: "As far as I know, your Ni family should still have a secret book of spiritual martial arts that has not been handed over, right?"
"What do you mean?" Ni Fangshan suddenly shouted loudly, with a pale look on his face.
"What do I mean? I believe you, Ni Fangshan, should understand, right? There is no airtight wall in the world. You all forced me to do this." A sinister smile appeared on Chang Jiang's fat face. Now that he has decided to break up, Chang Jiang is gone. Other scruples laughed and said:
"If I hadn't known that your Ni family has a very precious secret book of high-level thunder-type spiritual martial arts passed down by your ancestors, how could I have helped your declining family? Unfortunately, I have been unable to find out your secrets over the years. , I had no choice but to use the trick of marriage, hoping to get the secret book with Qian'er's hand. However, you dared to break off the engagement and ruined my plan. I have no patience anymore. If you don't get that secret book this time, Hand over the secret book obediently, ??Let your Ni family disappear from Chanyang City from now on.¡±
"Chang Jiang, you" Ni Fangshan, with a pale face, pointed at the grinning fat man Chang Jiang with his equally pale finger and said, "It's a waste that I have regarded you as a close friend for many years. I didn't expect that you would be so ambitious." (Unfinished) to be continued
