"Master Xingyun, although this money is not a problem for the Xiao family, I don't have that much cash in my hand now, so why don't I give you a painting?"
Not being able to get the money made Xingyun a little depressed, but when he heard about the painting, he immediately became energetic.
A pair of Tang Yin's "Lushan Waterfall Viewing" was auctioned for hundreds of millions.
Xingyun felt that the Xiao family was powerful and should have collected many famous calligraphy and paintings.
"That's fine!"
Xiao Yuanshan brought Xingyun to his study room, took out an exquisite brocade box from the bookcase, and then carefully took out a scroll.
When Xingyun saw this scene, his eyes suddenly lit up.
You've made a profit now!
Xiao Yuanshan spread the scroll on the desk. When he saw the pattern on the painting, the smile on Xingyun's face suddenly froze.
There is only one animal in the whole painting, a pig with wings!
"Mr. Xiao, what's going on?" Xingyun asked, pointing at the pig.
Xiao Yuanshan stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Master, this painting is called Stupid Pig Flying First!"
The stupid pig flies first?
Xingyun's face was full of doubts. He had also done some research on calligraphy and painting. He had never heard of any famous painter in history painting a pig, and it was a pig with wings!
"Old Xiao! I would like to ask, where does this painting come from?"
"This is created by a famous artist!" Xiao Yuanshan said with a smile.
"Who is this famous person?" Xingyun continued to ask.
Xiao Yuanshan nodded slightly, with a touch of pride on his face, "It's far away in the sky but close in front of you!"
Wu Zhu then echoed, "You don't know that I am the deputy chairman of the Chinese Painting and Calligraphy Association!"
"This painting of the stupid pig flying first is his most proud work!"
Xingyun's face looked very ugly.
He calls himself a master and even gave me a painting of his own!
It's so shameless!
Xiao Yuanshan continued, "Master, a good painting matches a good man, this painting is perfect for you!"
Suitable for me?
Are you calling me a pig?
Still a stupid pig!
Believe it or not, I will pluck off your old white hair!
Wu Zhu quickly echoed, "I think so too!"
"Master, the fact that I gave you my most beloved painting is enough to show your place in his heart!"
Nebula felt as if cold water had been poured on him at this moment. In his opinion, this painting was not even as good as that of a primary school student, but he actually had the nerve to blow it into a flower.
"Since Mr. Xiao loves this painting so much, why should I be embarrassed to take it away from others? I'd rather keep it for myself!" Xingyun declined.
"Master, you are kind to my Xiao family, what is there to be embarrassed about!"
groove!
If you're kind enough, can you give me a pig?
Even giving away a real pig is cheaper than this!
"Master Xingyun, I also feel very considerate. Although the gift is a bit expensive, don't refuse it!" Wu Zhu advised.
Expensive sister!
No one wants this painting given away for free. You are crushing my IQ on the ground!
Xingyun realized that if he didn't accept it, the master and servant would definitely not give up, so he had to bite the bullet and accept it.
Seeing that he was a little unhappy, Xiao Yuanshan said, "Master, I heard that a new club has been opened in the Imperial Capital recently, and there is something you like in it. How about the card?"
Hearing these words, Xingyun instantly became energetic.
"Is this true?"
"I, Xiao Yuanshan, keep my word. When have I ever deceived you?"
Pooh!
Just lied!
"Okay! Take me there quickly!" Xingyun pulled Wu Zhu and walked out.
"Wait a minute!" Xiao Yuanshan shouted.
"Master, what are you anxious about? Those girls won't run away!"
"I have a heartfelt request!"
Depend on!
You know it’s not that easy!
Xingyun asked with a slumped face, "What do you want?"
"I want you to protect Xiao Zhuo tomorrow!"
Personal protection?
Wouldn't that be a bodyguard?
How could the head of the tantric sect, a dignified leader of labor and management, do such a low price!
"Old Xiao! Are you kidding? I am a respectable person after all!"
"How could you casually serve as a bodyguard for that brat..."
Before Xingyun could finish speaking, Xiao Yuanshan took out a check and showed it in front of him.
"One million!"
Xingyun's eyes lit up, but then he looked away.
"Mr. Xiao, who do you think I am!"
Whoosh!
Another one came up.
"Two million!"
"Old Xiao! I'm not that kind of person!"
Whoosh!
"Five million!"
Xingyun's eyes shone, five million would be enough for him to live freely for a few months.
"Old Xiao! You are insulting me!"
Whoosh!
"Ten million! This is my bottom line! If you don't agree, forget it!"
Upon hearing this number, Xingyun's heart suddenly moved.
With 10 million, he can live comfortably for a year.
"It's all about money. Considering our friendship over so many years, I reluctantly agreed!"
Xingyun grabbed the check in his hand.
Xiao Yuanshan nodded with satisfaction.
"Master, you got the money, but you have to keep your word!"
"I am a person who does not keep his word!"
Xingyun planned in her mind that after getting the money, she would go back to Wutai Mountain. It was so far away from the imperial capital and Xiao Yuanshan would not pursue it for this little money.
"I believe that Master is true to his word! It doesn't matter even if he doesn't mean what he says, Wu Zhu will break your legs!"
Nebula shivered all over.
Although he is ranked fourth on the land rankings, this ranking was gained through deception.
Wu Zhu is indeed a super master, and he was able to fight Sima Pingnan many years ago.
Most importantly, he has another important identity.
Xiao Wu’s teacher!
"Old Xiao, after all, I am also the benefactor of your Xiao family, why are you treating me like this!"
"I won't keep my word today, what can you do to me!" Xingyun shouted.
"Wuzhu!"
As soon as Xiao Yuanshan finished speaking, Wuzhu stood like a mountain in front of Xingyun, exuding a powerful aura.
"What do you want to do! I warn you to stay away from me, otherwise I will beat you to pieces!"
Snap!
A crisp slap.
Nebula covered her face in astonishment, her brain photons buzzing.
The slap just now was so fast that he had no time to react.
Hitting someone or not hitting him in the face would make him so angry that he would vomit blood.
"Old Xiao! You actually let him hit me!"
Xiao Yuanshan had an expression that had nothing to do with me, "Ah? Why didn't I see what happened when?"
groove!
The applause was so loud and I didn’t even know it!
Do you think I'm a fool?
Xingyun wanted to slap him back, but in front of Wuzhu, he didn't even have the courage to fight back.
"Master, do you want to reconsider what I just said?" Xiao Yuanshan asked.
A good man never suffers immediate losses.
Xingyun didn't dare to be adamant anymore, "I won't consider it! I agree!"
"Really agreed?"
"I spit and nail every time I spit!"
"I'm tired today, let's go back and rest first!"
Just as Xingyun turned around, Xiao Yuanshan said with a smile, "Master, you must never lie to others!"
"Wuzhu has such a stubborn temper that sometimes even I can't do anything to him!"
"It would be bad if he went to Wutai Mountain to crush Tantric Buddhism out of anger!"
groove!
Threaten me!
Xingyun suppressed her anger, turned around and said, "I'll go!"
