Elder Alan did not come here alone. Behind him stood respectfully four middle-aged city guards who were on the second floor of the Qi Control Realm.
Zhang Li glanced at the four middle-aged city guards and ignored the contempt and arrogance on their faces. He quickly walked up to Elder A Lan with a smile and said, "Elder A Lan, long time no see." For Elder A Lan, Zhang Li was Not even remotely hostile
There was no emotion or anger on Elder A Lan's face. He nodded slightly and said calmly, "You don't want me, an old man, to discuss business with you in the ice and snow, do you?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Li hurriedly made a "please" gesture and said: "How dare I, the junior, neglect my senior like this? Please come in quickly."
The moment Elder A Lan and four city guards passed by Zhang Li, Zhang Li clearly heard the disdainful whisper of one of the bearded men: "Humph, he's just a yellow-haired boy who has just advanced to the first level of the Qi Control Realm. I really don’t understand why Elder A-Lan is so polite.”
Zhang Li frowned slightly, but he didn't show off. Then he greeted him with a smile and politely invited the five elders of the City Lord's Mansion, Allan, to the main hall of the Talented Woman's Mansion.
Qin Mei covered her face with a gauze veil and immediately served fragrant tea to the five guests. Tiebu and Zhu Anyue were sitting on the other side of the hall, looking at each other angrily with the four city guards brought by Elder A Lan. There seemed to be excitement in the air. Can smell a faint smell of gunpowder
Elder A Lan took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Boy Lin, you must be clear about my purpose of coming. You should also know that Lin Qingwan, the former most talented woman in Lixue City, has now kidnapped our city lord. This makes the Sima family in Piaoxue City very Angry, so this 'Talented Woman's Mansion' has been officially listed as a forbidden area. Although you are a former farmer of the Talented Woman's Mansion, you moved in without permission. This is a blatant disobedience to the Sima family's orders."
Zhang Li smiled slightly and said to himself: "This old guy usually cherishes his words like gold. I didn't expect that he has talent in negotiation. Now he gives me power and puts pressure on me. He is indeed a bit sophisticated."
"Elder A-Lan's words are serious. As soon as this junior returned to Lixue City and heard about this incident, he felt very sorry for the city lord. Lin Qingwan's behavior was simply outrageous. People and gods were outraged. Usually the city lord trusts Lin Qingwan in every detail. But who knew that she actually I was so confused that I did such an unjust thing. Although I, Lin Yi, am a former farmer of the Talented Woman's Mansion, I will never collude with her. "Zhang Li did not mention renting the Talented Woman's Mansion, but instead scolded Lin Qingwan impassionedly. After a while
Zhang Li's righteous words not only bluffed the five elders of A Lan and stunned them on the spot, but also Qin Mei, Zhu Anyue, Lian Kan and Tie Bu were very surprised because Zhang Li's words at this moment were too abnormal and ordinary. It is impossible for Zhang Li to say such words
After the bearded middle-aged city guard reacted, he couldn't help but sneered. He felt that people like Zhang Li were just fagots, and they would fall wherever the wind blew.
Elder A Lan frowned slightly and had to mention Zhang Li's proposal first: "Boy Lin, let's not talk in circles. Mr. Sima means that you can rent the Talented Woman's Mansion, but you must provide this amount to the City Lord's Mansion at least once a month." As he spoke, he held out five fingers.
Zhang Li couldn't help but feel his heart sink, and said to himself: "I#￥ah. This Sima Yunkong is really evil. He wants five thousand Qi Gathering Pills from me in a month. Humph, you are asking for a lot of money. Young Master, I can also pay you back on the ground."
Zhang Li sighed heavily and said: "Elder A-Lan, I have just returned to the Talented Woman's Mansion. Let's not mention that the materials in the mansion have been plundered by your City Lord's Mansion. Let's just say that you want this price. I want to ask if there is anyone in the Qi Control Realm in the entire Li Xuecheng City. The monks can get it."
Before Elder A Lan could speak, Zhang Li continued: "If the Talented Woman's Mansion is abandoned, the City Lord's Mansion won't be able to make a penny in the account. But if it is rented by Lin Yi, not only will there be some income in a month, but the spiritual energy of the Talented Woman's Mansion will not be lost. Not to mention that the city lord’s palace does not need to spend manpower to guard him. It is simply killing two birds with one stone.”
"You kid, stop talking nonsense. Just tell me how much you can get in a month." Elder A Lan said.
"Five Hundred Qi Gathering Pills" Zhang Li said, picked up the tea and started drinking it.
The expressions of the five elders and elders A Lan changed instantly: "Boy Lin, you must not have the intention of playing tricks on the city lord's mansion, otherwise you will die miserably."
"Then how can we? Elder A Lan, if I'm right, the financial resources of the City Lord's Mansion are becoming increasingly tight," Zhang Li said calmly.
Elder A Lan was shocked and had to look at the elegant boy in front of him again. After a moment, he said directly: "Two thousand Qi Gathering Pills a month cannot be less, otherwise this business will collapse directly."
"One Thousand Qi Gathering Pills plus two fourth-grade medicinal materials to be supplied to the City Lord's Mansion every month." Zhang Li looked calm. He didn't believe that the City Lord's Mansion, which was worried about taxes, would refuse. The current City Lord's Mansion wants to make money from any profit and water, so it raises the city entrance fee and the city. Just know the transaction tax. It was by grasping this that Zhang Li had the confidence to negotiate.
Elder A Lan sighed and said: "Okay, I'll leave it to you. Remember to send Qi Gathering Pills and medicinal materials to the City Lord's Mansion on the first day of every month." After saying that, he was about to get up and leave with the four city guards.
Zhang Li hurriedly said: "Elder A-Lan, wait a minute. You and I are old at last. It's rare that you can go down to the glacier of the City Lord's Mansion today. Why don't you stay and see how my new swordsmanship goes?"
When it comes to sword skills, Elder A Lan is a little itchy. He has no other hobbies and has been obsessed with swords all his life. Although he is only at the fifth level of the Qi Control Realm, his attainments in swordsmanship are extremely high. Ordinary practitioners at the seventh level of the Qi Control Realm cannot even think of him. Good thing in hand
"You four should go back first," Elder Allan waved his hand and said calmly to the four city guards.
The four city guards glanced at Zhang Li coldly and then left quickly with disdain in their eyes. Zhang Li had important things on his mind and did not want to pay attention to the attitudes of the four city guards anymore.
"Boy Lin, I haven't seen you in just a few years. You have actually reached the Qi Control realm. This is definitely the fastest person that my old man has ever seen. Your sword skills must be extraordinary. Quickly display them for my old man to see." look "
Zhang Li didn't say anything. He patted the storage bag and Tiankun turned into Shuihanzhu and appeared in his hand. Then he stabbed the air with a 'mirror flower' and saw an illusory ice door slowly appearing in the hall. Then Zhang Li suddenly activated his magic power, and the ice gate covered Elder Allan with a roar.
Then Zhang Li used the "Water Moon" move again. A water moon ice blade immediately penetrated from the top of the ice door and reached the door in front of Elder A Lan. Elder A Lan was shocked, but then he was suddenly stunned. The direction of the ice blade's final attack It turned out to be on his chest, but Zhang Li didn't really do anything, it was just a show.
Amazing
Especially Tiebu's eyes definitely shine like a wolf, even brighter than the light on his head.
"Brother, you actually have such sword skills. No, you have to teach me. You have to teach me no matter what." Tiebu's voice was full of excitement.
Elder A Lan, who was gradually calming down, suddenly said: "Boy Lin, your sword skills are probably spiritual martial arts. I never thought that old man, I would be lucky enough to see spiritual martial arts."
Zhang Li took back his Shuihan and said with a smile: "Elder A Lan, this junior has a merciless request."
"Oh, please tell me." Ah Lan, who is old and mature, naturally knows that Zhang Li can't reveal such an important sword skill in front of him for no reason.
Zhang Li pulled Tiebu over and said respectfully: "This is my junior brother Tiebu, a born swordsman. I want him to learn swordsmanship from you. I hope the elders can teach him the best."
Elder Alan narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully: "Boy Lin, are you planning to let this big bald man learn this spiritual martial art?"
"Sure enough, I can't hide it from the elders. I hope the elders can help me." Zhang Li's attitude was indeed extremely polite and respectful.
Elder Alan suddenly said to Tiebu: "Let me see your hands."
Tiebu touched his bald head in confusion and then handed his hand to Elder Alan. After a while, Elder Alan said: "I do know how to use a sword. Okay, Tiebu, let the old man and I go to the city lord's mansion to stay for a few days and take advantage of you. Maybe the old man can do it too." Can you spy on the spiritual level martial arts just now?"
"Elder A-Lan was joking. Tie Bu will learn sword skills from the elder and come back after you have learned it." He threw a jade slip to Tie Bu and continued: "This is the martial arts technique 'Shui Yue Jing Hua' just now. Join the elder to participate in it." Study it "
Zhang Li's words once again surprised everyone. Elder A Lan also didn't expect Lin Yi to be so generous. He didn't say anything more, but there was some deep thinking in his eyes, and then left the Talented Woman's Mansion with Tie Bu.
"Brother, you don't have a fever, do you? You are willing to let that old man do the Spiritual Level Martial Art..." Zhu Anyue looked regretful.
At this time, Liankan suddenly said: "Fat man, your eldest brother's long-term investment can't be seen by your pig brain. If you think about it more, you will understand why your eldest brother would do this." Liankan smiled, stroking the black and white war, and then Went back to my room
"This guy..." Zhu Anyue's fat face turned red. He didn't know what to say for a long time because he really couldn't imagine what the long-term intentions of his elder brother were.
At this time Qin Mei came over and said: "Junior brother, okay. Senior sister, I really admire you more and more. You are planning to win over Elder Allan to our side, right?"
"Sister, men don't like women who are too smart," Zhang Li said with a wicked smile.
"Ah, I can't stand it anymore. You are bullying me out of nowhere." Zhu Anyue roared depressedly, and then his face suddenly turned from depressed to happy: "Forget it, I still like to eat and sleep the most. The barbecue technique taught by my elder brother last time I’m still a little bit enlightened about the idea of going to the barbecue.”
The fat man ran away quickly and disappeared.
So the empty hall was immediately filled with only Zhang Li and Qin Mei. The two people who had just confirmed their feelings for each other had no other passionate thoughts. How could that be possible?
Zhang Li picked up Qin Mei and flew directly to Qin Mei's room...
