In the hall on the top floor of Xihe Chamber of Commerce, Long Yuxuan sat on the chair that symbolized the status of the owner. She leaned her elbow on the armrest with one hand and supported her tilted head with her hand, feeling comfortable with interest. Watching Ling Xiao bickering with her retainers.
It has to be said that Ling Xiao's other abilities are unknown. Just judging from the way he bickers with everyone, it seems that he is the best in the world.
Even though he was surrounded by seven or eight people, Ling Xiao could still remember clearly who said what, and then after they finished speaking, he answered them one by one. The agility of his responses was beyond the reach of these people.
In terms of cultivation, Ling Xiao has been taught by Xiao Beimin, the ancestor of the seven demons and the master of demon souls. Who else can have more profound attainments than him in this aspect.
As for the art of refining medicine, Tiancao Gangmu is broad and profound, and it cannot be compared to Long Yao, who is responsible for refining medicine in the Long family.
Finally, regarding the actual command, Ling Xiao regarded the three famous battles in Yaotian Continent as the Battle of Nantuoshan, the Battle of the Polar Regions, and the Destiny Realm Counterattack as his classic command battles.
Ling Xiao used his soul power to outline the maps of the three major battles, pointed on the maps, and talked eloquently, giving a detailed introduction to the background, environment, strength comparison between the enemy and ourselves, and the results of the battle, etc. , everyone was entranced when they heard it.
If Ling Xiao hadn't personally participated in the command of such a battle, he wouldn't have been able to talk about it in such detail.
In addition, Ling Xiao's eloquence is excellent, making everyone feel as if they are actually there, and people are unconsciously addicted to it.
It wasn't until Ling Xiao finished speaking that everyone recalled the three major battles that Ling Xiao had just talked about. They all forgot that their original intention was to test Ling Xiao, not to listen to Ling Xiao's story.
Only Long Yuxuan noticed that although Ling Xiao's expression did not change much when he talked about the last battle, Ling Xiao's calmness was different from the previous eloquence, which made Long Yuxuan feel that Ling Xiao Xiao actually didn't want to mention that battle.
Long Yuxuan now has a certain understanding of Ling Xiao. This man values some things and some people very much, especially those who have always been helpful to him.
Long Yuxuan could feel that the dead elder Qing was the person Ling Xiao had always been grudged against and failed to rescue.
Thinking that this man had such a wonderful and complicated past, Long Yuxuan couldn't help but feel pity for him, and her feelings for Ling Xiao changed a little and deepened.
"Do you think Ling Xiao passed your assessment?" Long Yuxuan didn't want Ling Xiao to dwell in that state of mind, so she quickly stood up and asked everyone in her Long family.
The retainers of the Long family looked at me and I looked at you, and at the same time they saw their appreciation for Ling Xiao in each other's eyes.
"The head of the house is worthy of being the head of the house. He has a sharp eye and knows his talents. We are all convinced that a stranger like Ling Xiao is here." Everyone was convinced, and Long Kai, who had wanted to see Ling Xiao's joke before, was already convinced.
I want to see Ling Xiao's fighting power. It's a joke that the Tower of Divine Soul and the Three Families of the Divine Soul Sect can mobilize their troops to kill Ling Xiao. Isn't such a large scale enough to prove Ling Xiao's strength?
Others respected him, and he, Ling Xiao, also respected others. Facing the mainstays of the Long family, Ling Xiao bowed to them sincerely: "Everyone, I, Ling Xiao, appreciate your trust in me. I, Ling Xiao, I swear here in the name of my soul that as long as I, Ling Xiao, live, I will advance and retreat together with the Xihe Long family and never leave."
"It's so good that we can advance and retreat together and never leave, haha."
Everyone in the Long family is a generous person. The head of the family, Long Yuxuan, is a woman, which makes them more or less cautious sometimes. Now that the head of the family has found a man who is as bold as them, how can everyone in the Long family not be happy?
laugh.
"Your Excellency Ling Xiao, how about drinking all night tonight?" someone suggested.
Ling Xiao smiled slightly and took out a jar of wine from the storage space: "Wine is a good thing, the body of water, the soul of fire... I will keep this jar of wine here for now, waiting to defeat the Tower of Gods and Demons.
After talking to those hypocritical guys from the Shenhun Sect, I will use it to honor everyone, and then we will not return until we are drunk."
"Okay, I won't go home until I'm drunk." One after another, the voices echoed in the hall, like the strongest agreement between Ling Xiao and the retainers of the Long family.

In addition to the business representatives of various major forces in Xihe City, there is also a huge force, which is the Xihe Mercenary Union.
As long as those homeless mercenaries make a living in the Xihe City area, they will regard this place as their home.
Because the Xihe Mercenary Union truly considers these mercenaries and solves their problems, the Mercenary Union says that all mercenaries will fight for it through life and death, even at the cost of their lives.
At this time, Ling Xiao was standing at the entrance of the mercenary union, looking up at the giant sword-shaped logo erected high at the entrance of the mercenary union.
He was waiting for someone, a man named Niu Dazhuang.
When Niu Dazhuang appeared in front of Ling Xiao, he looked at Ling Xiao curiously and asked cautiously: "May I ask, Your Excellency Ling Xiao, do you know me?"
Ling Xiao showed a kind smile: "Brother Niu, once we say goodbye to Locust Mountain, you have forgotten me so quickly."
Niu Dazhuang's eyes widened and he pointed at Ling Xiao. He was speechless for a long time: "You...you...you are..."
"Haha, Xiao Jue." When Ling Xiao finally said the name, Niu Dazhuang suddenly laughed and hugged Ling Xiao: "It turns out to be Your Excellency Ling Xiao, no wonder, no wonder."
Being hugged by such a grown man, and Niu Dazhuang also had a strange smell on his body, Ling Xiao pushed him away. It would have been uncomfortable if he didn't push him away, and he was embarrassed for a long time.
Niu Dazhuang finally recovered from his excitement and immediately realized that Ling Xiao might have asked him for help, so he hurriedly said: "Brother Ling, please come in and talk."
This was the first time that Ling Xiao walked into the mercenary union in Xihe City. He looked at the surrounding layout curiously and found it quite new.
In front of you is a large circular venue, which is divided into several areas. Each area has a huge floating image with various commissioned tasks and bounties for completing these tasks floating on it.
Due to the siege of Xihe City in the past two days, the mercenaries were not in the mood to take on those tasks. They all sat on the ground bored and drinking.
When they saw Ling Xiao walking in under the leadership of Niu Dazhuang, they were all so surprised that they were speechless.
Ling Xiao smiled at the mercenaries and then smiled mysteriously at them: "Everyone, you will have a mission soon."
The mercenaries stared at Ling Xiao inexplicably. Among them, only a few hundred people went to surround the Xihe Chamber of Commerce. Those who glared at him were those who did not participate in the siege of the Xihe Chamber of Commerce and had not seen Ling Xiao's "power".
Mercenaries.
Niu Dazhuang took Ling Xiao directly to the door of a room with a giant sword-shaped sign like the door, and knocked gently: "President, Your Excellency Ling Xiao is here to see you."
"Come in." A slightly hoarse voice sounded, and Ling Xiao was slightly startled: "It's a woman."
Then, Ling Xiao pushed the door open and saw the owner of the voice.
The owner of that voice was indeed a real woman: wild black curly hair, a feminine face, a tall figure, extremely curvy breasts, strong long legs, bronzed skin...
Of course, after Ling Xiao's eyes scanned her up and down, he unceremoniously landed on the towering twin peaks.
The woman seemed to be used to Ling Xiao's gaze. She curled her lips slightly and said disdainfully: "I didn't expect that Ling Xiao, who is famous in Xuantian Continent, is also a vulgar man. It is really disappointing."
Ling Xiao immediately retorted: "Aren't women with big breasts just for men to see? If they turn a blind eye to this type of breasts, then they can still be called men."
The woman chuckled, obviously not expecting Ling Xiao to say such a thing: "I have seen a lot of lustful men, but I don't see many men as high-sounding and lustful as you."
Ling Xiao raised his head and hummed twice: "Luxury is justified, lust is not guilty."
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this." The woman quickly stopped the long speech that Ling Xiao was about to make: "Please sit down, I may ask you what you want to see me for."
The woman sat at a tea table in the room with Ling Xiao and poured Ling Xiao a cup of tea.
Ling Xiao took the cup of tea, took a sip gently, and then put it down: "I came here to discuss business with the chairman of course. This business is too big to be announced outside."
The woman asked with great interest: "Oh, what kind of business, just tell me."
"I want all the mercenaries of the Xihe Chamber of Commerce to mobilize, with Xihe City as the center and a radius of 500 meters, to dig a circular trench two meters wide and ten meters deep." When talking about business, Ling Xiao's expression changed. He became extremely serious. Of course, those eyes would still occasionally glance under the woman's chin unconsciously.
The woman was very calm and didn't ask Ling Xiao why. She directly asked: "How much is the commission?"
Ling Xiao chuckled and held out two fingers.
"Twenty million topaz." The woman shook her head: "Too little."
Ling Xiao also shook his head and smiled: "More than that."
"Two hundred million." The woman's heart suddenly beat faster, but she still rejected Ling Xiao: "You also know who you have offended. It is naturally very dangerous for us brothers to go out of the city to do these things for you. One thing, and we have so many brothers..."
"President, I said two billion." Ling Xiao said such a number without blushing or gasping for breath, which made the woman jump up from her seat: "Two billion, I heard that right. .”
Ling Xiao nodded seriously and glanced at the woman's exaggerated arc again secretly and fiercely: "Yes, Mr. President, you heard me right, two billion topaz stones, not a lot, and you still have to pay in cash." .”
