Xiao Jinjin felt that he was very innocent. It was just a group of you who were blazing swords and spitting sweet things. Anyway, it was just a little spiritual beast with not much ability.
Just as I was thinking about leisurely basking in the sun in the Fang Mansion's courtyard, I became interested to see if the Fang Mansion had some beautiful female beasts that I could let them hook up with.
Unexpectedly, he actually encountered a very beautiful and cute little female beast. He was just thinking about combing his hair and then went up to strike up a conversation.
As soon as the scene changed, it felt like it was being pulled by a force through the air. It took a quick trip in mid-air, and was finally carried in someone's hand.
Before it had time to react, the sound that made him scared came to his ears.
"Is this the spiritual beast the two of you are talking about?"
Xiao Jinjin: “???”
It looked up and immediately understood what kind of situation it was in now.
Very obediently, he let Li Ye carry it, and then tried his best to show a frightened expression.
The gate of Fang Mansion.
Fang Ziduo didn't know how to speak out for a while. After all, he could not care about Lan Zheng, but he could not care about Shi Qi.
Even if the latter is only a sixth-grade Earth Immortal, there is really no need to give any face to a mere Earth Immortal in front of Fang Mansion.
But the problem is, there is a person standing behind this Shi Qi.
A strong man that Fangfu now wants to gain connections with.
Lan Xizi is a fairy!
This is not easy to handle.
Li Ye naturally saw the expressions of both parties, but pretended not to see anything. He carried the gold-swallowing beast with a smile, and his expression seemed to express: Come on, be happy.
Lan Zheng naturally recognized the gold-swallowing beast at a glance. Even a fool could see the burning passion and greed in his eyes, but he hid it very well and passed it by in a flash.
Shi Qi, on the other hand, had a terrifying edge in his eyes after seeing the gold-swallowing beast!
Then he sneered and said: "Your Excellency is smart. Since you admitted to stealing the spiritual beast from my house, there is no need for me to do it myself!"
Shi Qi's character is extremely strong when he wakes up, and he is also a genius in cultivating immortals! He is ranked as a sixth-grade Earth Immortal at a young age, and he is regarded as one of the top peerless geniuses in Guanglan City.
At the same time, because he studied under the sect of Lan Xizi's Heavenly Immortal, his status was invisibly higher than that of other sixth-grade Earth Immortals.
When he wants something, he rarely doesn't get it.
Fang Ziduo frowned slightly. He was not stupid. Although Shi Qi and Lan Zheng came to the door and directly stated their intention, and looked sworn in, it did not seem like they were lying.
But who is he? The most outstanding genius of the Fang family now, and the only heir to the Fang family. His mind is the best choice, so naturally he vaguely senses something wrong with it.
At this time, he couldn't help but frown and said, "What on earth is going on?"
He had a vague feeling that Li Ye was not the shameless villain who stole other people's spiritual beasts. Moreover, he had heard a bit about Shi Qi, and had never heard that the latter liked to raise spiritual beasts.
Lan Zheng said quickly: "Young Master Fang, this spiritual beast was secretly raised by my senior brother, but it suddenly disappeared not long ago. We found out that someone sneaked into my senior brother's mansion and took the spiritual beast away. Fortunately, I have a way
I found some clues with my own unique methods, but I didn’t expect that this person is actually with Mr. Fang.”
This was said politely, but every word suggested that Fang Ziduo was careless in making friends, and that Li Ye was by no means a kind person.
He even hinted that Li Ye might appear in Fang Mansion and there might be other conspiracies.
Fang Ziduo naturally heard the hint, but he frowned and said nothing, while looking at Li Ye.
Li Ye smiled and did not explain. Instead, he waited with interest for Fang Ziduo's reaction.
"Brother Li, I believe you are not that kind of person. Is there any misunderstanding in this?"
As soon as this statement came out.
Li Ye's smile remained unchanged, but Lan Zheng and Shi Qi's expressions changed.
Lan Zheng immediately said: "Young Master Fang, don't trust this guy easily, he is not a good person!"
Although Shi Qi didn't speak, his expression was not very good. He could see that Fang Ziduo was vaguely partial to Li Ye, which made him couldn't help but weigh the pros and cons.
After all, the Fang family has been deeply rooted in Guanglan City for many years. Even though it is gradually declining, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Now he has not yet broken through and truly become a heavenly immortal. He is only a sixth-grade earth immortal and is not qualified to oppose the Fang family.
"Brother Fang, what do you mean?"
There was an indescribable sparkle in his eyes, and his tone was not as polite as before. Naturally, there was anger in his heart.
It's just that he doesn't want to change his mind openly.
Fang Ziduo frowned, slightly displeased, and said calmly: "Although Fang is not talented, he still has a certain eye for others. Brother Li and I hit it off immediately, and he is not that shameless little guy."
Man, I think there must be some misunderstanding in this matter."
He didn't say it to death.
The Fang family may not care about a sixth-grade earthly immortal, but it would be different if it were the Lanxizi heavenly immortal behind Shi Qi.
Especially now that the Fang family is racking their brains to get into the relationship with Lan Xizi and Tianxian.
Shi Qi's eyes narrowed.
Lan Zhengze immediately stepped forward. Although his tone was respectful, there was a hint of threat in it: "Young Master Fang, please think twice. My senior brother raised this spiritual beast just to dedicate it to Master."
These words obviously brought out the name of Lan Xizi Tianxian. If the weight of the Lan family and Shi Qi is not enough, then the weight of Lan Xizi Tianxian is an unavoidable problem for the current Fang family.
.
really.
Fang Ziduo’s eyes narrowed!
It is no secret that several ancestors of the Fang family have problems and are gradually declining. No matter how well they are concealed, it is an indisputable fact in the eyes of interested people.
Obviously Shi Qi and Lan Zheng also knew about this. Otherwise, if those things had not happened to the Fang family, they would not have dared to be so calm and comfortable in front of the Fang family's heirs.
What's more, he also made vague threats.
Fang Ziduo was secretly angry! But on the surface, he was silent.
Although he firmly believed that Li Ye was not that kind of person, there must be some reason for it, but on the other hand.
The problems faced by the Fang family cannot be ignored. If it was really a gift to the Immortal Lan Xizi, he would still protect Li Ye, just in case the Immortal Lan Xizi knew about it?
The consequences, for the current Fang family, are simply adding insult to injury! It is unimaginable.
"Brother Fang, I can give you a face. Since he is your friend, as long as he reveals his soul now, I can forget about it! I will never mention the past things again!"
Shi Qi seemed rough and arrogant but was actually very thoughtful. He had already seen the hesitation in Fang Ziduo's heart, and he didn't want to completely offend the Fang family for this matter.
So, he chuckled and put forward a condition that seemed acceptable to both parties.
When Fang Ziduo heard this, his heart was indeed moved.
However, Lan Zheng was a little dissatisfied. You know, he tried every means to find Shi Qi just to avenge himself!
Not only did he want to take away the gold-swallowing beast, but he also wanted to make Li Ye regret what he had done! How could he be willing to end it so easily?
Lan Zheng couldn't help but said: "Senior brother, let this kid go so easily?"
It's a pity that Shi Qi didn't even look at him. For him, it was just to get the gold-swallowing beast, and he didn't care about the rest.
As for whether Li Ye has any grudge against his junior brother Lan Zheng, what does it have to do with him?
He just looked at Fang Ziduo and Li Ye indifferently, and his attitude was self-evident. He only came here for the gold-swallowing beast, and he could ignore the rest.
At this time, there was no doubt that everyone's eyes were on Li Ye.
Fang Ziduo shook his head slightly, smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Li, what do you think?"
He did not switch sides and force Li Ye in turn, but there was something in his words, and he was obviously asking Li Ye for the truth about the matter.
However, Li Ye just smiled and didn't explain anything, which made him murmur in his heart.
But Lan was sneering at the side: "Young Master Fang, your friend seems to be relying on the Fang family to support him, so he doesn't buy it!"
After saying this, he became angry: "It seems that this matter needs to be reported to our master. I don't know how the master will react when he finds out."
If it was a hint just now, now it is almost an outright threat.
Fang Ziduo's eyes suddenly showed a hint of coldness!
"snort!"
This angry roar caused Lan Zheng's expression to change instantly. Then he took ten steps back, his face turned red, and he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
He had obviously suffered serious internal injuries from the cold snort just now.
A flash of anger flashed in his eyes, but he suppressed it quickly! Because he knew he couldn't afford to offend the Fang family, and he wasn't Shi Qi with that kind of confidence.
But he remembered this grudge!
Shi Qi spoke slowly at this moment, as if scolding: "Junior brother, how did you talk to Brother Fang?"
Lan Zheng immediately raised his hands and saluted: "Young Master Fang, please calm down. I just spoke out loud. I hope Young Master Fang won't take it to heart."
As the saying goes, don’t hit the smiling person. Although Fang Ziduo’s eyes are cold, Lan Zheng is not an ordinary immortal after all, and the Lan family behind him also has some weight. More importantly, he has the identity of Lan Xizi’s disciple.
"If there is a next time!"
Fang Ziduo's eyes were cold, showing the strength of the top immortal sect in Guanglan City.
Lan Zheng nodded immediately: "Lan Zheng doesn't dare!"
After being taught a lesson, Fang Ziduo could no longer continue to exert pressure. Instead, Shi Qi said lukewarmly: "Brother Fang, please think about this matter, but don't let such a trivial matter affect me.
Master’s friendship with your Fang family.”
If Lan Zheng's threat had already caused a hint of hesitation in Fang Ziduo's heart, then Shi Qi's profound attitude at this moment made him even more hesitant.
After saying that, Shi Qi did not continue to be aggressive. Instead, he turned around and left.
"If Brother Fang changes his mind, I, Shi Qi, will give Brother Fang a big gift!"
Although Lan Zheng was not happy, he could only leave.
From the beginning to the end, Li Ye never spoke again except for the initial question while holding the gold-swallowing beast.
Even when Shi Qi and Lan were leaving, he just watched them leave.
However, although Shi Qi and Lan Zheng left, the Fang family followed this incident, just like dropping a stone on the rippleless water of an ancient well, creating ripples.
Li Ye took the gold-swallowing beast back to the small courtyard prepared for him by Fang Mansion.
Fang Ziduo had a lot of questions, but in the end he didn't ask immediately. He needed to digest the matter.
…
"Is this happening?"
Fang Mansion, in the study.
Fang Xian paced back and forth. Ever since Fang Ziduo told what happened today, as the current head of the Fang family, he has been weighing the pros and cons of this matter.
After a long time, he stopped and looked at his most proud son, who was also the most outstanding heir to the Fang family.
"Do you have any ideas?"
After hearing his father's question, Fang Ziduo did not answer immediately. Instead, he thought about it for a while and then said, "I believe Li Ye did not steal the spiritual beast from Shi Qi's Mansion."
Fang Xian didn't show too much surprise. He nodded and asked, "Keep talking."
Fang Ziduo said: "In my judgment, the gold-swallowing beast was not raised by Shi Qi. After all, in so many years, I have never heard that Shi Qi likes to raise spiritual beasts. He is a genius but does not have such a hobby."
Guanglan City is very big, but Guanglan City is also very small.
Especially for people like them, it's too easy to know some things.
"I have asked people to investigate this matter. Judging from the information found so far, Shi Qi has not raised any spiritual beasts, let alone special spiritual beasts such as the gold-swallowing beast. So in my opinion, this matter should be
Shi Qi and Lan Zheng didn't know why they got the news that someone in Guanglan City was bringing a gold-swallowing beast, and it happened that the gold-swallowing beast that Lan Xizi Tianxian had lost some time ago."
Fang Ziduo said with a hint of confidence: "Father may not know yet, but the gold-eating beast Li Ye brought is the one where Lan Xizi Tianxian got lost."
Fang Xian looked stunned for a moment, and then a terrifying light erupted in his eyes.
Even though he is not very showy on weekdays, in the Fang family he is definitely a sophisticated and scheming person.
With just a few words, he immediately understood why Fang Ziduo did not make a hasty decision.
"It seems that this Li Ye has a big plan."
Fang Ziduo nodded: "My father is absolutely right. Shi Qi should also know about this. He wants to get the gold-swallowing beast and goes to Lan Xizi Tianxian to claim credit. In addition, those rumors about him..."
He did not continue talking, but Fang Xian heard the overtone and waved his hand: "Rumors are just rumors after all. If he doesn't become an immortal, he will be ineligible. Although we, the cultivators, don't take seniority very seriously.
But without the corresponding strength, any thoughts he has are just ridiculous delusions."
Fang Ziduo said: "That's what father said."
"In your opinion, how should our Fang family make a decision now?"
Fang Xian wanted to see what Fang Ziduo was thinking, so he asked.
Hear this.
Fang Ziduo said: "In my opinion, since Shi Qi has bumped into him today, the news will soon spread to Lan Xizi's ears all over the world, and our Fang family has only two ways to go."
"explain!"
Fang Ziduo continued: "First, kill Li Ye! Take the gold-swallowing beast directly from his hands, and then immediately offer it to Lan Xizi, the immortal!"
