The Purple Prince's Mansion occupies a very large area, just like a palace, with carved railings, jade walls, and criss-crossing pavilions. If Lei Ning hadn't led the way, Xiaoyu would have gotten lost when he entered the Purple Prince's Mansion for the first time.
"Dad lives alone in the side courtyard of Ziwang Mansion and will be here soon." Lei Ning comforted him while leading the way.
Xiaoyu nodded calmly, scanning the majestic buildings in the Purple Prince's Mansion, sighing in his heart. Even compared to the imperial palace, the luxury of the Purple Prince's Mansion is not much inferior.
"Alas, the rise of the Zi family has taken less than two thousand years, but the Zi family's achievements in business cannot be compared with even the Yunjian Sect. No wonder this family has become one of the two major immortal cultivating families, and even the royal family has to treat them with courtesy.
Wait, we will ennoble this clan as a royal clan with a foreign surname." Xiao Yu admired in his heart while looking at the majestic buildings in Prince Zi's Mansion.
At this time, after Lei Ning entered a side courtyard, he suddenly stopped, pointed to a closed door in the middle, and said, "Xiaoyu, we are here."
Xiaoyu nodded and looked around cautiously. After finding nothing out of the ordinary, he relaxed slightly and walked forward with Lei Ning.
However, just when Xiaoyu and the two had just walked to the door, the closed door suddenly opened, and a majestic and tall old man wearing a large blue robe, with long silver hair and a kind face suddenly stepped forward.
came out.
"Xiao Yu, as expected, it's you. I know that this little guy like you will never be so short-lived!" Lei Tuohai said with a somewhat excited expression.
"Mr. Lei, I have made you worried during this period." Xiao Yu smiled lightly, clasped his fists with both hands, and bowed respectfully.
Not many people were grateful and admired by Xiao Yu, but what Lei Tuohai did in the past two years deeply moved Xiao Yu. For a promise he made, Lei Tuohai was willing to stay outside the Heishui Stream for two years. This was unusual.
People simply can't do it. After all, the friendship between them is not that deep. This shows that Lei Tuohai is a hero who values love and justice.
"Haha, you and I still need to be so polite. Come with me into the house. I have a lot of questions that I want you to answer." Lei Tuohai smiled heartily and helped Xiaoyu up.
Xiaoyu tapped his forehead, but did not refuse Lei Tuohai's invitation, and walked into the house one after another with him. As for Lei Ning, he was blocked by Lei Tuohai and did not follow up.
"Tch, you're worried that I might eavesdrop, but I'm not that curious about it." Lei Ning pouted her little cherry lips, glared at Xiao Yu and Lei Tuohai each, and turned around to leave.
After entering the house, Lei Tuohai invited Xiao Yu to sit at a white jade table, and personally filled a cup of green wood tea for him. After sending it to Xiao Yu, he said: "Xiao Yu, although I don't have demon fire, but this
The tea art has improved greatly in the past two years. Please try this green wood tea first and see how it tastes now."
"Okay." Xiaoyu picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and after savoring it carefully, said with a smile: "The taste has improved, but it's a pity that it's still not as good as the kid's brew."
"Haha, you shameless boy, I knew you would say that." Lei Tuohai didn't pay attention to Xiao Yu's sarcasm. He pondered for a while and said, "Xiao Yu has something, I don't know whether to ask or not."
"Mr. Lei, if you have something to say, it's okay to say it." Xiao Yu said calmly.
"Then I will speak frankly." Lei Tuohai said with a serious look: "Xiaoyu, you have been missing for two years. I don't know if the agreement between us still counts."
Hearing this, Xiao Yu's expression changed, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Lei, there is no need to worry, Xiao is not a person who breaks his word, and the three-year agreement is still valid."
"Little guy, I really saw you right." After hearing Xiao Yu's answer, Lei Tuohai immediately relaxed his nervous expression and said with a smile: "Actually, after two years of collecting, I can barely scrape together enough, three copies
The materials of the Qi Source Pill should be enough to refine one Qi Source Pill, you should understand that, right?"
"Haha, we haven't seen each other for two years, Mr. Lei is becoming more and more polite." Xiao Yu smiled brightly.
But Xiao Yu did not agree, and said helplessly: "But I'm afraid Mr. Lei will have to wait three more months."
"Oh, why is this?" Lei Tuohai looked a little confused.
"Oh, it's a long story." Xiao Yu sighed heavily and said with a somewhat depressed look: "My master and I fought fiercely with the Ghost King that day, and our souls were severely damaged..."
Xiao Yu made a complete retelling of the past two years in the Black Water Stream. He did not tell the truth. However, Xiao Yu did not conceal the rare treasure under the abyss of the Black Water Stream. He made it clear that it was a mermaid.
It is an inherited thing of the clan, even if outsiders get it, it will be of no use at all.
"I see. It seems that you haven't had a very happy life in the past two years." Lei Tuohai didn't have much doubt and believed Xiao Yu's explanation.
"That's all, I've been waiting for two years, and I don't miss these three months." Lei Tuohai shook his head indifferently.
"Thank you, Mr. Lei, for your understanding!" Xiao Yu thanked him with a somewhat grateful expression.
It was not Xiao Yu's intention to deceive Lei Tuohai, but Xiao Lin fell into a deep sleep. With his current strength, it was impossible to refine a fifth-grade Peak Qi Source Pill, which was as difficult as a sixth-grade wine pill. Xiao Yu could only
To be able to come up with this strategy, he said that his soul was hurt and he could only refine the fourth grade wine elixir at the moment.
And Lei Tuohai also believed Xiao Yu's explanation. After all, it would be untrue if Xiao Yu didn't pay the corresponding price for dealing with such a terrifying existence as the Ghost King.
"Considerate? That's too much to say. I'm asking you for help now, so I should wait a little longer. If you're being so polite, I'd be embarrassed." Lei Tuohai smiled and shook his head.
"But..." Lei Tuohai suddenly looked a little solemn and said: "It stands to reason that I am also responsible for your soul being injured. If I had taken you away by force, you would not be in the situation you are today. It is a pity that I can't do anything. Although Ziwang Mansion said
There are also precious medicines for nourishing soul power, but I can’t use them, so I hope you’ll forgive me.”
"Mr. Lei, you're welcome. I understand this," Xiao Yu comforted.
Although Lei Tuohai has a close relationship with the Ziwang Palace, he is not a member of the Ziwang Palace and has no right to use the Jiuji Soul Saliva, which is reasonable.
After seeing that Xiao Yu didn't pay attention to this matter, Lei Tuohai breathed a sigh of relief, took a sip of green wood tea, and asked: "What are your plans next?"
"Xiao has definitely thought about this. After participating in the Sommelier Competition and recovering his soul, if there are no accidents, he should be practicing while traveling to the Fairyland Continent." Xiao Yu thought for a moment and replied.
"Well, with your potential, you really shouldn't stick to the Han Dynasty, but I still have a merciless request." Lei Tuohai said with some hesitation.
"Mr. Lei, do you want me to join the Zi family?" Xiao Yu asked thoughtfully.
"Not bad." Lei Tuohai nodded, pondered for a while, and said: "I have heard about your performance in the bartender's internal assessment today. With your strength, it is natural to have this result. But with your hidden five skills, I have heard about it."
With the strength of a sommelier, if he can join the Zi family, he will definitely make the Zi family extremely brilliant in a short period of time."
"Mr. Lei, please let me think about this matter. You also know that the boy doesn't like to be restrained and won't stay in one place for too long." Xiaoyu neither agreed nor refused. He really needed to take care of himself.
consider.
Lei Tuohai didn't force him. He couldn't rush the matter, and said slowly: "You should think about it, but I still hope that you will join the Zi family temporarily."
"If you only join the Zi family temporarily, it's not that I can't agree. It's just...forget it, let's wait until the sommelier competition is over before answering Mr. Lei." Xiao Yu declined politely.
"Little guy, don't be too burdened. No matter whether you join the Zi family or not, our agreement will not change." Lei Tuohai comforted him with a smile.
"With Mr. Lei's words, I can rest assured. After the sommelier competition is over, I will definitely give Mr. Lei a satisfactory answer." Xiao Yu replied with a calm expression.
In fact, it is not that Xiaoyu has never thought about joining the Zi family and taking the opportunity to steal the Jiuji soul saliva, but he and the wine king Liu Feng are on the same page. If he blindly agrees to Lei Tuohai, the Zi family will also be implicated. After all, Liu Feng is behind him.
It was the Yunjian Sect, the first sect in the Han Dynasty, so Xiaoyu had to consider it carefully.
Thinking of Yunjian Sect, Xiao Yu naturally thought of Jiang Yu, who had rescued him many times, and asked: "Mr. Lei, do you know what is going on with Brother Jiang?"
"Sect Master Jiang, he went to Heishui Stream a month ago, and he probably won't be able to come back in time for the wine master competition." Lei Tuohai answered simply.
Hearing this, Xiao Yu's heart moved. Jiang Yu's trip to Heishui Stream at this time must have something to do with him.
"Xiao will repay this person's kindness one day." Xiao Yu murmured.
Since entering the world of cultivating immortals, Xiao Yu has only seen intrigues and intrigues, and the weak prey on the strong. He has not made many friends, only a handful. However, Jiang Yu is undoubtedly a true gentleman, and this is worthy of Xiao Yu's friendship.
If it hadn't been for Liu Feng's incident, Xiao Yu would not really have joined the Yunjian Sect in order to repay Jiang Yu. But now Xiao Yu has changed his mind. With Shi Yunshan and his party, he and Liu Feng will definitely have to end it. Ya Shi can't say for sure.
If he would offend the Yunjian Sect, how could Xiao Yu still have illusions about the Yunjian Sect?
"Xiao Yu, I have something to give you." Lei Tuohai suddenly smiled and took out a golden chip from the storage ring.
This golden chip is made from high-grade source stones. It is as thin as paper and is three inches long. It has a fox-shaped monster carved on the front and three characters "VIP" on the back.
After taking a look at the golden chip, Xiaoyu asked with a puzzled expression: "Mr. Lei, this is..."
"The Zi family is a cultivating family that focuses on business. Its industries are not only spread throughout the Han Dynasty, but also in the other two dynasties. This chip is a privileged order that can only be owned by distinguished guests of the Zi family.
With this crystal card, you can enjoy the most noble treatment in the Zi family's industry, and you can also buy any materials you want at twice the market price." Lei Tuohai explained briefly.
"Okay, Xiao will accept it then. Thank you Mr. Lei for your help." Xiao Yu put the crystal card into the storage ring without any politeness.
