Ignoring the murmurs around him, Xie Yan stepped out of the carriage and casually said, "Uncle Fu, please go first. Cheng Zhou and I will walk around the city together!"
"this"
Uncle Fu hesitated for a moment, but was quickly interrupted by Xie Yan.【】
"Uncle Fu, don't you trust me? With my current strength, if I want to protect myself, that's enough! When I get tired of playing, I will naturally return to Xie's house!"
"Okay then, I'll take my leave, old slave!"
After saying that, Uncle Fu set up the carriage and drove slowly off the street.
"Master, where are we going?"
After walking through three streets, Xie Yan was just looking at every store without any intention of buying anything, which made Xie Chengzhou very confused.
"Don't be anxious, it will be there soon!" Xie Yan smiled faintly, but his steps did not stop at all. He only vaguely remembered the appearance of a few streets. After a few years, many shops changed their owners, and he could only go one by one.
A family's search.
In the blink of an eye, they walked through another street and stopped in front of a wooden attic with simple decoration.
"Tianya Hai Pavilion is right here. I didn't expect to see it here!" I didn't expect that this store is still there.
Looking up at the three familiar gilded characters on the plaque, Xie Yan immediately walked in.
"Please come in, guest, if you have anything you need to tell me!"
As soon as I entered the door, I was immediately greeted by a job.
It was almost noon, and logically speaking, this was the busiest time for business, but there was silence in Zhenyuan Pavilion, with only one guest, Xie Yan.
His eyes are also extraordinary in his work, and he can immediately say thank you that he is a great customer.
Xie Yan was probably the first guest he met today, or even the only guest, so of course he had to serve him diligently.
"I'm just casual, you can go about your business!"
He waved his hand and drove the waiter away. After thanking Yan, he leisurely checked the products in the room.
Tianya Haige is one of the six major gates in Ningzhou. It itself exists in the form of a chamber of commerce. Its business covers all major cities in Ningzhou, and there are several masters of the martial arts realm who are stationed in the gate.
The Tianya Haige branch in Jiuyuan County has existed much longer than the Xie family, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it has always been unknown.
Most of Tianya Haige's business is aimed at the major families in Jiuyuan County, with each transaction amounting to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of spirit stones. This shop in a busy city is just for show. It's a small business.
They don't take it seriously at all.
Xie Yan knew what the guy was thinking, but his purpose today was not to buy anything.
Tianyahai Pavilion is divided into two floors. There are various things on display, including pens and ink, calligraphy and paintings of famous people, etc., as well as magic weapons, elixirs, skills, talismans, seals and other treasures needed by warriors, although there are only less than a hundred pieces.
, but each one is extremely precious.
Xie Yan picked up a long sword and waved it in the air, then shook his head and put it on the shelf again.
Although this long sword looks very good, and it is a magical weapon at the level of a magical weapon, it stands to reason that many people should be willing to snap up it. However, I don’t know how long these things have been here, and they are actually covered with a thin layer of
From the dust, you will know that someone is interested.
The main reason is that the things placed in the hall are really too expensive. A magic weapon-level long sword only costs a hundred or ten spirit stones elsewhere, but here, it is sold very powerfully.
I got five hundred spirit stones per handle, and I couldn’t bargain.
No one wants to be taken advantage of, and Xie Yan was even more reluctant. He took it easy and immediately walked to the second floor.
"Hey, sir, wait a minute, you can't go up to the second floor!"
As soon as Xie Yan made a move, the job immediately stopped in front of Xie Yan.
The second floor is where the stewards of Tianyahai Pavilion discuss business with the patriarchs of the Xie family. Ordinary customers are not allowed to enter.
"Well, why is this?"
Xie Yan frowned, not showing off his anger.
The guy originally wanted to say something more, but when he was enveloped by Xie Yan's aura, an inexplicable fear suddenly hit his body and he unconsciously moved away.
He came here this time to find the steward of Tianyahai Pavilion, and of course he didn't want to get entangled with a small job.
Xie Yan turned around and immediately walked up to the second floor.
It was a long time after he left that the workman held his chest and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"It's so scary. Who is this young master? His aura alone can make me unable to breathe."
The workman stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, then his whole body went limp and he collapsed on the stairs. "There is a steward on the second floor, so I guess there won't be any accidents!"
There are even fewer products on the second floor, only twenty-three pieces, but they are all rare treasures.
An old man in thick clothes sat in front of the counter, fiddling with an abacus in his hand. When Xie Yan came in, there was no reaction.
Xie Yan didn't care what the old man was doing, he walked straight to a shelf, picked up a jade pendant and walked out!
Xie Chengzhou looked at his young master in astonishment. He never thought that Xie Yan would come all the way here just to 'steal' that small jade pendant!
"Taking something without telling you is called a thief. Could it be that the dignified third young master of the Xie family also wanted to be that little thief?" Just when Xie Yan was about to reach the door, the old man finally raised his head.
Xie Yan stopped and turned around, "I thought Mr. Mo had forgotten me. I haven't seen you for many years, but are you still okay?"
Without mentioning the jade pendant, Xie Yan went straight to Mr. Mo and sat down.
"Haha, you kid, I almost didn't recognize you after six years of not seeing you!" Mr. Mo put down his calculations and said with a smile, "I heard that you returned to Xie's family a year ago, why didn't you come back until now?
Come to me!"
"Anyway, the things are here with you, it doesn't matter when you come to pick them up!" Xie Yan played with the jade pendant in his hand and said nonchalantly.
At this time, Xie Chengzhou finally understood. It turned out that the young master from home had known the steward of Tianyahai Pavilion for a long time.
But he couldn't figure it out. Tianya Haige was one of the top ten chambers of commerce in the state. Although Mr. Mo was just a manager of the Jiuyuan County branch in Ningzhou, his status was very transcendent. How could he have been with him six years ago?
Thank you for knowing me.
Speaking of which, there is a story about how Xie Yan and Mr. Mo met.
When Xie Yan was nine years old, he sneaked out of Xie's house to play. Unexpectedly, he got lost and somehow ended up at Tianya Hai Pavilion.
At that time, Mr. Mo noticed the golden barking lin pattern on Xie Yan's clothes and recognized that Xie Yan was the direct son of the Xie family, so he sent Xie Yan back to the Xie family.
Although Xie Yan was young at the time, he had the soul of an adult hidden in his body. Naturally, he was unwilling to receive favors from others in vain, so he gave a piece of jade pendant he had with him to Mr. Mo and promised to repay this favor to Mr. Mo when he grew up.
.
This is also the reason why Xie Yan came to Tianyahai Pavilion today.
Mr. Mo raised his head in surprise and glanced at Xie Yan, "So, do you think you have the strength to repay the kindness you owe back then? You are so confident that the rumors that you can already practice martial arts are true!"
Suddenly, Mr. Mo seemed to have experienced something unbelievable and shouted, "Your true energy is restrained and your internal organs are strong. You have actually reached the level of an innate martial artist!"
Xie Yan nodded and said with a smile, "Mo Laohui has a sharp eye, so of course I can't hide it from you!"
"You can cultivate to the realm of an innate martial artist in one year, and you are indeed qualified to return the favor to me! However, I would rather wait a hundred years before asking for the favor from you. In that case, I will make a lot of money!
"
After Mo Lailai, a hundred years later, with Xie Yan's current qualifications, he can at least reach the realm of Wuzong, and may even become a strong man in the realm of Wuzong. Mo Lao's wishful thinking is indeed clever!
Xie Yan smiled slightly, "Mr. Mo is so confident that I will definitely achieve extraordinary things in the future? If I fail to recover, you will be in big trouble!"
Mr. Mo: "There is no risk in doing business. I am just investing in advance! If the third young master is willing, I don't mind letting you owe me more favors!"
Xie Yan's face straightened, he put down the jade pendant and said, "It's easy for Mr. Mo to invest in me. I came here today to ask for something."
"But don't worry!" Mr. Mo nodded.
Xie Yan stood up and said solemnly, "Since my father disappeared when I was eight years old, no news has been sent home for eight years. With Tianya Haige's power all over the Kyushu continent, I don't think there is any trouble.
If I can hide it from you, I will be able to find out the whereabouts of my father. As long as Mr. Mo can provide information about my father, Xie Yan will be grateful!"
"Your father? Xie Chenghua!"
Mr. Mo seemed to have remembered something, stood up, and walked into the house, "I seem to have some information about your father here. I'll give it to you later!"
Not long after, Mr. Mo walked out of the house with a small box in his hand.
Xie Yan couldn't help but be very excited when he saw Laoshou Mo's things.
Mr. Mo walked to the counter and sat down. "Don't have high hopes. This information was collected by your grandfather Xie Zhengying on our Tianyahai Pavilion six years ago. If it really contains information about your father, then he must be
I won’t let it go!”
With that said, Mr. Mo untied the sealing talisman on the box and put the box in front of Xie Yan.
Xie Yan couldn't wait to open the box. There were only a dozen pieces of paper inside, with some things written densely on them.
Three maps and twelve reports written by different people in different voices, this is all the things in the box.
Xie Yan read it carefully over and over again, fearing that he might miss a word.
After a long time, he finally put down the paper in his hand, shook his head in disappointment, and let out a long sigh.
