When Xiao Xizi was in a dilemma, a call came from upstairs.
"Xiao Xizi, please ignore him, bring him here, I'll tell him!" Sikong Lan shouted from the second floor.
"Yes! Yes! Second shopkeeper, I will ask the first shopkeeper to come up."
Xiao Xizi lowered her head, bowed and whispered: "Boss, would you please? The second shopkeeper is meeting with distinguished guests, please be patient!"
Tianjiu was so angry that he was trembling. He pointed at Xiao Xizi and was speechless for a long time. This Chengyufang was originally his, but when he went upstairs, he had to be taken upstairs, as if he was an outsider.
Tianjiu closed his eyes, calmed down the suffocation in his heart, and slowly walked up to the second floor.
In the living room on the second floor, Sikong Lan and a long-faced middle-aged male cultivator were sitting at a square jade table, talking lively. Behind the long-faced male cultivator stood a beautiful female cultivator in the early stage of foundation building.
Judging from the situation, this female cultivator seems to be the bodyguard of the long-faced male cultivator.
"You're back!" Sikong Lan nodded to Tianjiu while talking to the long-faced male cultivator.
"Yeah! If you don't come back, you won't know if this place has been sold!" Tianjiu replied.
"This is Ma Dutong, who is responsible for all transactions in Yutiao City. Our Chengyufang can open smoothly this time, thanks to Ma Dutong's care. Ma Dutong, this is the big shopkeeper of Chengyufang,
You are also my Taoist companion Tianjiu, please take good care of me in the future!" Sikong Lan introduced with a smile.
Tianjiu's face shook a few times unconsciously, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Ma Dutong, nice to meet you! Nice to meet you!"
"Eh? How come you're a Qi-refining monk with such a low level of cultivation?" Ma Dutong glanced at Tianjiu and asked in surprise.
"Hehe! Hehe! It makes everyone laugh! Tianjiu is not talented, he is at the eighth level of Qi refining." Tianjiu said with his fists clasped.
"Alas! Cai Feng Sui Crow, now I know what Cai Feng Sui Crow is! Fairy Lan, how could you fall in love with such a thing?" The long-faced Ma Dutong glanced at Tianjiu with disdain, then shook his head, full of
Face sarcastic.
Sikong Lan looked at Tianjiu, smiling, and there was a glimmer of dignity in his eyes.
"Yes, Master Dutong, who is in the final stage of foundation building, actually condescended to come to my small temple. I wonder what I can teach you?" Tianjiu sat down in another corner of the hall with a swagger, crossed his legs, and had an extra one in his hand.
Spirit pig stick.
"Hmph! How brave! Did I tell you to sit down? Qi-refining cultivator is actually on an equal footing with me? Fairy Lan, I'm sorry to say it bluntly, it is really humiliating for you to become a Taoist companion with such a person. Did he use some conspiracy?
Blackmailing you? If so, I will stand up for you and get rid of him!" Ma Dutong said with a chuckle.
Tianjiu was so angry that his teeth were itching. If the opponent's cultivation level hadn't been obvious, he might have rushed up and beat him up. But Sikong Lan covered his mouth at this moment and kept snickering.
Tianjiu took a big bite of the pig stick and stared at the roof without saying a word.
"Fairy Lan, why don't you follow me? If you want spar and status, wouldn't it be beautiful? Such a waste will only embarrass you." Ma Dutong said in front of the sky without any scruples.
Jiu Mian said loudly.
"Huh?" Sikong Lan looked stunned. She didn't know that Ma Dutong would say it so bluntly, and her face turned red with anxiety. She had followed Tianjiu for so many days, and she knew a little bit about his character. If she messed with him,
When it comes to his reverse scale, things will definitely be terrible.
She also knew that Ma Dutong was just coveting her beauty, and most of the treasures displayed downstairs were sent by him. Although she was the manager of Li Palace, the other party was her immediate boss, and she didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Tianjiu's face gradually darkened. The so-called hitting someone in the face was not a slap in the face, but this horse was clearly stepping on his face.
"Uncle Sikong, is this what you mean?" Tianjiu asked coldly.
"No, no, Tianjiu, you misunderstood! Ma Dutong is here to congratulate him, and most of the items downstairs were given by him..." Sikong Lan quickly explained.
"Really? He gave it to me?" Tianjiu sneered repeatedly.
"I bought this Chengyufang. It seems to have nothing to do with your uncle. What are you doing here? Uncle, it was your idea not to sell the Yutiao Mountain Spirit Pig."
?”
"Hehe, hehehe! I just want to force you out!" Sikong Lan winked and smiled.
"Huh! Force me out? Don't you know you almost forced me to death?" Tianjiu said word for word, then suddenly turned around and shouted: "Xiao Xizi! Throw all the things downstairs to the street, one person
Don’t stay!”
"you--!"
Ma Dutong's expression suddenly changed, and he stood up with a roar, with a trace of murderous intent in his eyes.
"You're so shameless! Aren't you just an ant in the first stage of Qi refining? I'll crush you to death without my doing anything!"
After Ma Dutong finished speaking, he sent a message to the beautiful woman standing behind him. The beautiful woman who had been standing still suddenly swayed and walked to Tianjiu's side. With her five fingers spread out, she covered her head towards Tianjiu who was lying in the chair.
The change was sudden, and Sikong Lan did not expect that the female cultivator behind him suddenly took action. It was already too late to stop him. The five claws that were so close at hand, with sparks, rushed down. If Tianjiu was caught, Tianjiu
Even if he doesn't die, he will become a complete useless person.
"Ouch!" A loud roar came out, and Tianjiu's hand that was originally holding the spirit pig's stick transformed into a sinister claw the size of a basin in the blink of an eye. It emitted a faint light and suddenly faced the five claws it had grabbed.
"Hey!" There was a cracking sound like sore teeth, followed by a wailing sound. The body of the foundation-building female cultivator shot out like a kite with a broken string, and hit the bluestone wall of the room heavily. The bluestone wall
There are some magic circle reinforcements on the surface, and it has not been damaged, but the aura still shines from the impact.
Tianjiu stood up and stared at Ma Dutong coldly, fearing that he would suddenly attack. He was not yet sure of resisting the attack of the monk in the final stage of foundation building.
Sikong Lan finally came to his senses at this time and stopped between Ma Dutong and Tianjiu. He said to Ma Dutong: "Ma Dutong, please come back. If you disrespect Tianjiu, you are disrespecting me.
Forget it this time, I hope it won’t happen next time.”
Ma Dutong stared blankly at the female nun who was screaming in pain on the ground. The female nun's arm was bent and her bones were broken into two pieces.
He was very confused, how did the Qi Refining monk knock the Foundation Establishment monk to the ground? Moreover, the Foundation Establishment monk was not very seriously injured, but the other party was fine at all.
"You guys? Okay, okay! Ma is blind!" Ma Dutong said angrily: "Your name is Tianjiu, I remember you!"
After saying that, he ignored the female nun on the ground and flew downstairs, angrily disappearing into the street.
"Are you going to leave on your own, or should I throw you out?" Tianjiu asked indifferently to the female cultivator who was moaning on the ground.
"I...I'll go by myself, I'll go by myself!" The female cultivator twisted her face, struggled to get up, glanced at Tianjiu as if she had seen a ghost, endured the severe pain, and stumbled downstairs.
"Tianjiu, I'm sorry...!" Sikong Lan looked at the dark-faced Tianjiu and said timidly.
"That's enough! Uncle Master, I know what you are thinking, but you have also heard it, Cai Feng Sui Crow, please just let me calm down for a while! Tianjiu is just a small practitioner of Qi refining. After today, there is still no way
I don’t know if there is a clear day.”
"But, I just want to be with you, why do you always avoid me...?" Sikong Lan lowered his head and said hesitantly.
"Who is hiding from you? If you are still the all-powerful uncle from before, do I have to hide from you? Okay, don't say so much, we still have a lot to do."
Tianjiu sighed, shook his head and said, took out another storage bag and threw it in front of Sikong Lan.
"This is a teleportation array. You place it in a hidden place on the top floor of Chengyufang. At the other end, I will bring Hua Chen back and place it in Huachen Gate. From now on, we won't be afraid of Dongling Gate's robbery!
"
After Tianjiu finished speaking, he ran downstairs without waiting for Sikong Lan's reaction. As soon as he walked out of the gate of Chengyufang, he suddenly had a shabby cloak on his body and a pair of wide sunglasses on his face. He looked towards the injured female cultivator who disappeared.
The direction hurriedly chased away.
Ma Dutong walked on the street with his hands behind his back, very depressed. Ever since Sikong Lan suddenly appeared in Yutiao Mountain City, he felt like old friends at first sight and was shocked. Although he had dozens of concubines, but with Sikong Lan
Comparing Tingting's elegant appearance and her heroic temperament, they all pale into shame. He vowed to get her.
He was also responsible for Sikong Lan's appointment as the manager of the Li Palace. He even obeyed Sikong Lan's words and obeyed everything. As soon as Sikong Lan said that he would ban the sale of spiritual pigs, he immediately issued a decree to ban the entire spiritual pig industry in Yutiao Mountain City.
Sweep it all away.
These made Sikong Lan very happy, and he was even sure that with a little more effort, the other party would throw himself into his arms.
Today was the perfect opportunity. He was sending treasures and attracting people, making the scene in Chengyufang a lively one. Just for this last handful of firewood. Seeing Sikong Lan's happy face, he was already longing for the pleasure of having a beautiful woman in his arms.
Feeling.
"Tianjiu! I will crush you ant to death! Lan Meiren, you can't escape from my grasp!" Ma Dutong chuckled sinisterly, standing in a remote corner, waiting for something.
.
After a moment of burning incense, a beautiful figure jumped out of the street. It was the female Foundation Establishment nun who injured her arm. At this time, her arm was intact as before, and there was no sign of any damage.
"Lord Dutong, this slave has not completed your task, please punish me!"
"Hmph! You still have the nerve to come back! You can't even fight a Qi Refining monk, so what do I need from you?" Ma Dutong pointed at the female cultivator and cursed.
"Lord Du Tong, this person is not an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator. I feel like there is a frightening aura about him. I have tried my best, but it's like a worm shaking a tree. His claws are too powerful.
!" the female cultivator said tremblingly.
"Really? Hehehehe!"
Ma Dutong smiled darkly: "Since you are so scared, you are not suitable for this job. How about I give you a new position and be my cauldron? That way, you only need to respond to me.
, there is nothing to be afraid of!”
"Ah? Furnace? No, no! Master Tutong, please let me go! I know I was wrong!"
The female cultivator shouted in fear and turned around to escape. However, as soon as she took a few steps, her neck went numb and she lost consciousness.
"Ma Dutong is so elegant! I wonder if the bodyguard turns into a cauldron, does that count as lining his own pockets?"
Suddenly, a strange laughter burst into the air.
Ma Dutong looked around, but there was no one in the corner.
"Who are you? You are pretending to be a ghost here. Don't think that I am afraid of you?" Ma Dutong narrowed his eyes and carefully drew out a silver sword. The blade buzzed and became three feet long, with a flash of light.
It is actually a mid-level magic weapon.
"Hehehe! Don't be nervous, Mr. Tutong, I won't do anything to you."
Another voice came, and then, somewhere in the void, a black shadow suddenly appeared - a broken cloak, half a mask, and half of the spiritual power left in the whole body.
"You? Are you...?" Ma Dutong saw this figure and seemed familiar.
"Why? Did Ma Dutong forget so quickly? Didn't we meet at the City Lord's Mansion more than ten hours ago?" Tianjiu, wearing a cloak of concealment, said with a chuckle.
"Ah? You are, you are the great elder!"
Ma Dutong suddenly remembered the appearance of this person. Isn't he the new elder Yao whom he saw in the inner palace?
"Great Elder, this subordinate deserves to die! I didn't recognize you, please punish me, Great Elder!" Ma Dutong was sweating on his forehead. Although the saint told them that this elder would not interfere with their affairs, the elder is the elder.
He is more unified than them all, and his status is much higher. Moreover, the Great Elder is still at the peak of the late Golden Core cultivation level. It is much easier to crush him to death than to crush an ant.
"Uh! What did Ma Dutong say? I just came to Yutiao, and you are a bit unfamiliar. Don't be surprised if you don't recognize me. Ma Dutong must not blame yourself." Tianjiu said angrily.
"Thank you, Great Elder!" Commander Ma Du breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked tentatively: "Great Elder, what are your instructions for finding this subordinate today? As long as you need it, this subordinate will do it for you no matter how hard it is!"
"Nothing, nothing! I don't lack anything. However, I came here just to remind Ma Dutong, just don't forget my last name?" Tianjiu waved his hand and said.
"What's your surname? Isn't your surname Tian?"
Ma Dutong was a little confused. He was in the city lord's palace and remembered that the saint said that this person's surname was Tian.
"That's right! Ma Dutong remembers his surname well! You know my surname is Tian, but you'd better remember that the chief shopkeeper of Cheng Yufang is also surnamed Tian. I brought him here because I wanted him to see the world.
If he offends you in any way, you can come to my great elder's cave to find me, but don't be the same as him." Tianjiu said in a deep voice.
"Ah? Cheng Yufang!"
Ma Dutong was sweating coldly. No wonder a minor Qi-refining cultivator was able to recruit a female Foundation-building cultivator. No wonder a minor Qi-refining cultivator was able to discount a Foundation-Establishing cultivator. It turned out that this guy had a lot of background.
"What a risk! What a risk! Fortunately, I didn't take action to teach that Tianjiu a lesson, otherwise it would have been a big disaster!" Ma Dutong said happily in his heart.
"Okay, Ma Dutong, I also know that you are busy with official duties, so I won't disturb you anymore. I have a top-quality crystal here, which will be used as the treatment cost for your guard Zhe Hand. You can pay for it yourself!"
After Tianjiu finished speaking, he threw a top-quality crystal stone in front of Ma Dutong, who was stunned, and then disappeared in the corner.
"The best crystal stone?!"
Ma Dutong suddenly turned around and looked at the top-quality crystal in his hand, which was as bright as stars. He couldn't help but sigh: "The golden elixir is the golden elixir! Just throw out a top-quality crystal and I'll count it."
Years ago, there were not even one or two top quality crystals, yet people gave them away as if they were toys. Master, master!"
Ma Dutong moved his eyes away from the top-quality crystal stone, and then he realized that Elder Tian Da was missing. The whole corner was empty again, as if no one had ever appeared.
"Hey--!" Ma Dutong took a breath of cold air, stirred up his spirit again, lifted up the female foundation-building cultivator on the ground, and flew into the street as if fleeing.
