"Master, you..." Upon hearing that her master was following Ling Xiao, Ling Shiyu looked at her master in surprise with a complicated expression on her face, not knowing what to say.
Until now, Ling Shiyu and her father had not been able to figure out why old man Zhang immediately found the Chengtong store. It turned out that it was Ling Xiao who had left the blood letter, and the master who was following Ling Xiao didn't even put that ink. Erase the bloody words.
The middle-aged man named Lu smiled: "I, Lu Chun, think I can never misjudge people. You should be the kind of kid who deliberately deceives people, but you will not deceive little girls like Tong Xiandi and Shiyu. Because it won’t do you any good.”
Ling Xiao was noncommittal, but he didn't deny it, which meant that Lu Chun was right.
Naturally, Ling Xiao would not do anything that was not beneficial and would deceive others.
Lu Chun then picked up the gourd and took a sip of wine, his eyes even more drunken and hazy: "So I will make a cruel bet to see what tricks you are playing... If it doesn't work, I will take Cheng Tong away." That’s Xiandi and Shiyu.”
Ling Xiao snorted softly: "Didn't you see the battle yesterday? If that old man Zhang really became arrogant, could you save them?"
Lu Chun chuckled twice: "If you didn't show up, they wouldn't take action. Although the Xihe Chamber of Commerce is barbaric, they also pay attention to the evidence of the shops here. Otherwise, no one will dare to come here to do business. This Chamber of Commerce will also It won’t be of much value.”
Ling Chengtong could not have imagined that Ling Xiao and Lu Chun had prepared so many things without his knowledge, and his impression of Ling Xiao in his heart had changed even more.
At first he thought Ling Xiao was just a gangster kidnapping an ignorant girl, then he realized that Ling Xiao had some real abilities. In the end, his impression of Ling Xiao was reduced to just four words: unfathomable.
Whether it's strength or scheming.
With Ling Chengtong's personality, he would naturally stay away from people like this, and he didn't want his daughter to have any interaction with Ling Xiao.
After eating this meal, Ling Xiao will go to Xihe Chamber of Commerce tomorrow, and Ling Chengtong will be more or less relieved.
"Don't worry that I will implicate Chengtong Company." Ling Xiao said very directly: "My purpose of hiding in Xihe Chamber of Commerce is to stay away from you. Uncle Ling, you can rest assured."
Ling Chengtong was horrified: This kid actually has the ability to see through people's hearts.
Ling Xiao still looked calm, drinking the wine prepared by Ling Chengtong and eating the steaming dishes, as calm as their son-in-law.
Except Ling Xiao himself, no one knows what kind of past he has.
The souls of the entire Yaotian Continent have been sucked away by him, and he has experienced their various lives. At this time, Ling Xiao is more like a ten thousand-year-old demon who has experienced vicissitudes of life.
How could Ling Xiao not see the expression and thoughts of Ling Chengtong?
Soon, Ling Xiao ate all the dishes, nothing else, because he was hungry.
The three of them looked at Ling Xiao who stood up in surprise, wondering what he wanted to do.
Then, they saw Ling Xiao pick up the wine glass and toast Ling Chengtong with a glass of wine: "Thank you, Uncle Ling, for the hospitality."
After finishing the drink, Ling Xiao toasted Lu Chun with another glass of wine: "We are all good drinkers, so I won't say much else. As long as we are alive, we will find more opportunities to drink in the future."
For the third cup, Ling Xiao naturally paid tribute to Ling Shiyu: "Girl, thank you for showing me the way. In a word, you are mine. If you have any trouble, just come to me."
After saying these words that made Ling Chengtong's face darken, Ling Xiao walked away without looking back.
Ling Shiyu looked at Ling Xiao's back and felt particularly uncomfortable.
That back view is so lonely...
Lu Chun burped and muttered to himself in a drunken state: "A boy like this probably won't be able to stay in a small place like Xihe City for too long, hehe..."
Ling Xiao arrived at the Xihe Chamber of Commerce overnight. Unexpectedly, the Xihe Chamber of Commerce was still brightly lit at this time, with people coming and going in an endless stream, and it was very lively.
The entire chamber of commerce is like a huge castle, located in the north of Xihe City, occupying one-third of Xihe City.
As soon as they walked to the door of the Chamber of Commerce, two young, beautiful, scantily clad, and splendid women bent towards Ling Xiao with smiles: "Welcome to the Xihe Chamber of Commerce, the president is waiting for you on the top floor."
Even these two girls knew her and knew that she was the person the president wanted to wait for. Ling Xiao couldn't help but be a little surprised, and then smiled.
If the Xihe Chamber of Commerce can't even handle such a small thing, then whether it's worth Ling Xiao's stay here is a question.
And if Ling Xiao just asked the two women questions that they shouldn't have asked like a bumpkin, then there's also a question of whether he's worthy of the Xihe Chamber of Commerce's win over.
So Ling Xiao directly chose not to ask and walked into the Xihe Chamber of Commerce openly.
The hall of the Chamber of Commerce is splendid, bright as day, and very majestic.
Ling Xiao took a quick look and saw that the counters here were the same as those in the shops outside, except that the counters here were more than ten times larger than the shops outside, and the items sold were naturally much more precious.
Not to mention anything else, the chain soul masters who come here to trade are obviously much better dressed than the bunch of bumpkins in the shops outside. It is obvious that they are rich people at a glance.
Ling Xiao went up the white jade steps and reached the second floor. The counters on the second floor were the same as those on the first floor. The only difference was the preciousness of the items sold.
There are fewer people on the second floor than on the first floor. There are two women who are more gorgeously dressed and more exposed than the two girls at the door. They are guarding the stairs, probably to judge the financial resources of the guests.
The higher you go, the fewer the guests, and the clothes of the girl guarding the door become more gorgeous. Of course, by the last floor, the two girls wore nothing except three-point style.
Of course, her beauty is absolutely unique, just a little bit worse than her own Tang Yingying, but her body development is obviously much better than Tang Yingying's.
I really don’t know what’s going on with that girl. She’s already sixteen and still looks like a thirteen-year-old girl. She hasn’t changed at all. If someone who doesn’t know the truth sees her, they’d think she has that bad habit. .
Ling Xiao shook her head repeatedly, forcing herself not to think about that girl.
There was a red door ajar on the top floor. Before Ling Xiao approached the door, he paused gracefully: "Excuse me, can I come in?"
"Okay." A woman's voice came from inside the door. Ling Xiao smiled slightly and stepped in casually.
As soon as Ling Xiao stepped in, the red door closed automatically with a bang.
Ling Xiao stepped on the aristocratic red carpet and looked at the end of the red carpet in a good mood.
At the end of the red carpet, the veiled woman in white was sitting on a chair covered with some kind of animal skin, looking calmly at Ling Xiao who was walking towards her with her beautiful eyes.
When Ling Xiao walked ten steps in front of the woman who made Xihe City frightened by the news, he stopped, smiled and saluted her: "I have met the president."
There were only Ling Xiao and the woman in white in the empty hall. If it were any other man, he would definitely be distracted.
But Ling Xiao was not another man, so he immediately became distracted and lustful.
His eyes looked up and down at this woman with an excellent figure. Although he couldn't see her face, her figure and those beautiful red and phoenix eyes were enough to make Ling Xiao's thoughts wander.
"Am I beautiful?" the woman in white suddenly asked.
"Well..." Ling Xiao answered subconsciously at first, then immediately realized his impoliteness and laughed twice: "Hehe..."
The woman thought that Ling Xiao would be honest for a while, but Ling Xiao then said, "It would be better if I could see her face."
The woman glanced at Ling Xiao mockingly, her eyes full of teasing: "Are you sure?"
Ling Xiao nodded seriously: "I'm sure."
"There's a price to pay, I'm afraid you can't afford it." The woman's tone suddenly turned cold again, looking rather moody.
If it were anyone else, he would definitely feel the cold murderous intent in this woman's words and would no longer dare to act recklessly.
But after experiencing the destruction of Yaotian Continent, Ling Xiao has seen through many things, so how can he care about the opponent's imposing pressure?
If the other party wanted to kill him, he would have killed him long ago. If he did not kill him, it meant that he was still valuable. As long as the real bottom line was not touched, Ling Xiao naturally believed that the other party would not kill him.
"As long as it's not at the cost of my life, I'm willing." Ling Xiao nodded solemnly.
"Even if it means a lifetime of freedom." The woman was shocked by Ling Xiao's unswerving "lust", and her tone was less joking and more surprised.
Ling Xiao smiled lightly: "It doesn't matter..."
When Ling Xiao said "it doesn't matter", the woman slowly took off her veil, revealing a beautiful face.
With a round face, a straight nose, and a delicate mouth, every part of the facial features is the most beautiful, and the matching is just right. This kind of appearance is definitely rare in the world.
But on this beautiful face, there was a scar that was nearly thirty centimeters long, hanging like a centipede in the middle of the round face on the right side, completely destroying the beauty of the entire face.
Ling Xiao sighed lightly: "What a pity..."
The woman did not put up her veil, but stood up from her position and looked straight at Ling Xiao: "I am satisfied."
Ling Xiao shook his head: "I'm not satisfied. If I can see the face with that scar removed, I will be truly satisfied."
The woman returned to her cold tone: "This is also the price I asked you to pay for this. If you can't get rid of this scar, you will never leave Xihe City in your life."
This seemingly extremely terrible price, Ling Xiao was not surprised at all. He slowly stretched out three fingers of his left hand: "I, Ling Xiao, swear on the name of my soul that if I cannot cure Miss Long's face in this life, Keeping it in custody will make me die a miserable death, my soul will be scattered to pieces."
