Under my iron hand, it was impossible for the old man to fight back, because his neck was squeezed into a ball by me. If I applied more force, it would be broken, so he could only dance around, trying to break free from my hand.
, and babbling without knowing what to say.
"Brother Xia, stop!" Mao Feng hurriedly urged me, and immediately wanted to help the old man break free. I also gave Mao Feng face and threw the old man aside: "Believe it or not, I have countless ways to get rid of him.
You disappeared without a trace."
Originally, I felt uncomfortable with the idea of buying and selling people, but I lacked the strength and wanted to handle the matter gently. However, asking this profiteer to raise the price and covet the fairy pot inevitably ignited my anger.
The old man coughed violently, and the core veins gradually stretched out the neck that I had pinched, and then he looked at me in fear, but it was only for a moment. He seemed to have remembered something, and said angrily: "Your Excellency
Forced buying and selling, I will report this to the Merchant Alliance!"
"Haha, the Merchant Alliance will also thoroughly investigate your behavior at this time, right?" I retorted, and the old man's face suddenly changed slightly. I didn't stop and said, "If you like my things, you plan to barter them at a higher price.
This transaction of yours is not necessarily glamorous."
The old man's face was ugly, and Zhao Ziyu's message quickly reached my ears: "The Merchant Alliance has a lot of power, don't you know that, fellow Daoist Xia? To deal with such a person, using force is not the best way. This Nangong Jia, we
It’s okay not to."
I glanced at Zhao Ziyu, nodded, and then said, "Okay, let's go first."
Zhao Ziyu saw that my answer to her was a little incomprehensible and changed too quickly, so she was a little curious, but she did not refute. On the contrary, when the old man heard that I was leaving now, he was afraid that his heart would thump. After all, before I left,
A murderous intent flashed across his eyes, and he couldn't help but see it.
In fact, I just attacked him, and the instantaneous burst of power was due to the variables at this time.
"This...Brother Xia, are you really not going to do this deal?" Mao Feng didn't have my voice transmission, so of course he had to ask.
"I won't do it. There are always other ways." I said calmly, and then looked like I was lifting the fairy basin into the sky. As a result, the old man quickly shouted "Wait a minute" and stopped us.
"What?" I looked at him with a sneer, as if I were looking at a dead man.
"Twice the price! Twice the price, this fairy is yours!" the old man said quickly, he may have thought of what he was afraid of.
"Twice? Do you think I'm stupid?" I revealed a cruel smile, and the old man was immediately sure of my murderous intention. After thinking about it, he immediately said: "Well, I'll pay you the price just now! I won't take away my fellow Taoist.
So good!"
At this time, Mao Feng and Zhao Ziyu were also a little surprised. They probably didn't expect things to turn around so quickly. Of course, everyone didn't relax. After all, twice the price was too high.
I snorted coldly, then waved my hand, and some treasures appeared on the platform of the Fairy Pot. According to my understanding of the market, these treasures were almost 20% more than the original price. Even a second-rate dealer made a lot of money.
After all, he is a businessman. When he saw these treasures, the old man immediately waved his hand and gritted his teeth and said, "Not enough!"
"I'll give you this number, just tell me if you want to sell it or not." I snorted coldly. Seeing that my state of mind was no longer the same as before, the old man immediately didn't dare to argue with me anymore. He gritted his teeth and nodded, then threw me a jade plaque.
.
I knew that this should be an independent spell for some kind of restraint device, so I paid the money and received the goods with one hand. After taking the jade token, I directly read the information inside.
The old man didn't intend to stay long at all, and immediately took the treasure and fled towards the outskirts of the market. He probably didn't even plan to wait for his friend who went out to receive the goods, for fear that I would react and catch up with him and kill him.
Even with the punishment guarantee from the Merchant Alliance, it is not as important as my own life. If he dies and the Merchant Alliance attacks me in the end, the only one who benefits is the Merchant Alliance, which has nothing to do with him, so I might as well just let it go as soon as I see fit.
.
I immediately flew into the house, opened the door, and found Nangong Jia, who was kneeling on the ground and marking the house.
Seeing my arrival, Nangong Jia was extremely surprised, with surprise on her face.
I immediately removed the mark on her body, and Zhao Ziyu said: "Don't be surprised. Fellow Daoist Xia has already spent a lot of money to buy you from that dealer. From now on, just follow the Xia Xian family."
Nangong Jia glanced at me, her face full of gratitude, but she still asked about Zhao Ziyu. "Jia'er knows, but..."
"Haha, how do we know what fellow Daoist Xia is thinking? I'm afraid he admires your swordsmanship and feels he needs you to be loyal to him."
Nangong Jia nodded quickly, and then said to me: "Jia'er will be the master's slave from now on. No matter what happens in the future, Jia'er will not dare to disobey."
I smiled and said: "There is no need for this, I just can't bear to see fellow Taoist being in trouble and unable to control his own destiny. If I just let you be a slave and a maid, and I buy you, wouldn't I be like other immortals?"
Already?"
Not only Nangong Jia, but also Zhao Ziyu and Mao Feng were surprised. I saw their incomprehension, and a flash of alarm suddenly flashed in my heart. What I said seemed to be leaning on the original immortal, so what about this?
I'm afraid things will take a turn for the worse, and may even become the basis for others' suspicion.
I could only quickly explain: "What I mean is, you don't have to be a slave to me. As long as you do things for me sincerely."
"Yes, Jia'er knows." Nangong Jia said quickly, and Mao Feng and Zhao Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief.
I secretly thought it was a good thing I didn't tell her to let her go, otherwise it would have become a matter of discussion among everyone after dinner.
After bringing Nangong Jiaye to the Fairy Pot, I did not return to Nangong’s house. Instead, I took a group of people to the third excavation site immediately. After clearing the area, I immediately changed the Flower of Realm Power and sneaked into the space of the formation.
.
The treasure cache this time was unexpectedly small. It was not as large as the previous two. It was a peripheral armory. All the treasures found were insignificant treasures, but it was expected. After all, the Nangong family had already
It's in a relatively peripheral area of the main city.
After digging all the treasures, Mao Feng and Zhao Ziyu registered the treasures that the Mao family should obtain. Then I put them all into the Immortal Gathering Basin and quickly rushed to the next area, which is the fiefdom of the Ruyue family.
Because of Nangong Jia's situation, I had to ask Mao Feng and Zhao Ziyu to inquire about Ru Yuehe's situation. As soon as I finished speaking, Nangong Jia said: "Report to the master. I'm afraid Ru Yuehe's situation is worse than mine."
Why not, before she went back from the last competition, I heard the news that she was going to marry her cousin's grandfather, and many immortal families knew about this..."
"What? Grandfather of my cousin's family? What do you mean?" I was stunned for a moment. I thought I heard wrongly. Isn't this cousin's family the same as my cousin's family, and my grandfather is not my cousin's grandfather? What kind of ethics is this?
"Oh... when you said that, I remembered that I asked Chu Chu's third brother to go and attend the ceremony... After all, it was too inappropriate for me to let a commoner go." Mao Feng shook his head and said, then his expression changed.
But he changed his mind and said to me: "Fellow Daoist Xia, you don't want to take care of this matter, right? No, this matter is definitely not allowed."
"What do you mean? Is it possible that Miss Ruyue is still in love with that old man who wants to eat young grass?" I asked in surprise.
"Not really. I'm afraid the child Ru Yuehe is complaining a lot right now, but do you know what the Ruyue family means by marrying the second daughter of the master's family to that old man?" Mao Feng said hurriedly.
"Haha, no matter what the reason is, it is shocking." I said with a frown.
"There are too many horrifying things. Is Xia Daoyou still planning to control them all? Although the Xu family where Lao Buxiu lives is a cousin, it is the largest family under the control of the Ren family, and Patriarch Xu is even more powerful in the Zongyun Immortal Domain.
existence, now the Ruyue family is almost at the bottom of our Mao family's camp. It is inevitable to want to curry favor with the Ren family. The eldest brother intends to wait for the follow-up of this matter before making any plans. If we go to do things now, not only will we be annoyed
The Xu family has ruined eldest brother's plan, and you are no longer an outsider. Let me ask you, have you ever thought about what the city lord thinks?" Mao Feng looked at me seriously.
I have long been aware of this kind of power competition, so how could I not know that Beihu Zhan would definitely protect the Ren family recently and not let them suffer the pain of being slapped in the face?
