"It's just another use of each other. It's just a transaction. Life is a transaction all the time." Shi Lei looked at Meng Haoran's somewhat excited back and let out a long sigh.
To be honest, according to Meng Haoran's previous request, it would not be a big problem for Shi Lei to cut off his two brothers' veins. However, according to Shi Lei's character, it is impossible to harm his two brothers without harming his own interests.
of people you don’t understand.
The reason why Shi Lei changed the content of the transaction was because he thought of a good and simple way to help Meng Haoran get out of the predicament of having no rights and status.
Getting the maximum profit at the minimum cost is what all traders want to see most.
The next day, Meng Haoran waited early at the inn where Shi Lei was staying, his face full of anticipation and respect.
"Let's go to Yanlan Inn first." Shi Lei walked out with Qianqian.
Meng Haoran had no objection. Since Shi Lei promised to change his destiny, he could just follow his instructions.
Bang! The door of Tianzi No. 1 of Yanlan Inn was kicked open.
"Let me go, you came in without knocking, but you actually kicked the door open for me. You are just..." Third Young Master Dongfang had just gotten up and washed up, when he saw Shi Lei kicking in the door. He wanted to get angry on purpose.
Yes, but when I saw the almost inhuman fireworks behind Shi Lei, I temporarily suppressed the urge to scold my father.
"Okay, come with me. I need your identity to do something for me today, so you have to do it for me." Shi Lei said with a smile. The purpose of the Dongfang Family is not very clear now, but it is just to repay the favor.
He just helped Shi Lei, so only a ghost would believe it.
"Okay, who is the beauty behind you?" Third Young Master shrugged indifferently.
"This is my woman." Shi Lei's words were soft but domineering.
When Qianqian heard this, her heart felt inexplicably sweet, and she smiled shyly, which made Shi Lei very surprised. He didn't expect this iceberg to smile.
The third young master had a look of envy and hatred on his face. After all, he was the third young master of the Dongfang family in the prestigious Xingyue Continent. He had seen many beauties ranging from one thousand to eight hundred, but this was the first time he had seen a woman with Qianqian's temperament.
"Wait for me, I'll call Die'er and Wenqing." Third Young Master said.
After a while, Shi Lei, Qian Qian, Third Young Master, Nalan Die and Wenqing arrived below the inn.
"I've met Master Dongfang, Miss Qingqing." Meng Haoran, who was waiting downstairs, was surprised and bowed quickly. He didn't expect that Shi Lei had such a good relationship with the Dongfang family.
"Okay, I also know a little bit about you. Don't worry, with me here, your identity will definitely change." Third Young Master said with a smile.
When they came down, Shi Lei talked about the situation in a few words. Although Third Young Master Dongfang was not very interested in this kind of thing, since Shi Lei proposed it, he couldn't refuse.
"Then thank you so much, Third Young Master." Meng Haoran couldn't help but sigh. They were both Third Young Masters, but they were from the Eastern Family, while he was only from the Meng Family. The gap was really too big.
At the same time, I also admire Shi Lei's ability very much. Being able to hang out with Dongfang San Shao will definitely have a lot of energy. But since Shi Lei has a backer like Third Shao, why should he help him to do transactions?
"We will visit your Meng family later, and you will adapt accordingly, understand?" Shi Lei walked up to Meng Haoran and said softly.
"Yes, of course I understand the third young master's energy, but since you can be with..."
"I have my plans, just don't forget your promise." Shi Lei knew what he wanted to say.
Although he can indeed pull the tiger skin of the Dongfang Family to protect himself, but in this way, the secret relationship between the Dongfang Shi Family and himself will be exposed. If the Murong Family sees anything, they will want to catch them again.
It’s difficult to use a small whip.
Besides, I don’t want people from the Dongfang family to look down on me, so I still have to find ways to solve some problems by myself.
"Don't worry, I will definitely do it, and the family is already discussing how to deal with the Lone Wolf Mercenary Group. By then, as long as I give you some guidance, we can achieve our goal." Meng Haoran said confidently.
Meng Haoran gave a few instructions to his entourage and asked him to leave quickly, while he, Shi Lei and the others walked leisurely towards the Meng family.
…
"What! Third Young Master Dongfang is coming to the Meng family, is this news accurate?!" Meng Fei, the head of the Meng family, said in surprise. You must know that he had personally invited people before, but was sent back easily, and now he wants to come to the Meng family.
, why doesn’t this make him happy?
Although the Meng family is one of the best in Yanzhou, it is still not popular in the eyes of the Dongfang family. If they can get the favor of the Third Young Master, the prestige of the Meng family will be greatly increased.
"The third young master told me, and Miss Dongfang Wenqing, this time's weapon refining champion Shi Lei and others are also here."
"That's right. I didn't expect that this child, who is usually so quiet, could actually deal with these people. It seems that he will have to be given more rights in the future." Meng Fei said to himself, "Notify him immediately.
, a big banquet is held to welcome Third Young Master Dongfang and others to my Meng family!"
There are three saints in Yanzhou, Meng Shengzhe, Wusheng General Yanke, and Peng Shengzhe. These three also represent the three major powers, the Meng family, the royal family, and the Peng family, and they are in a state of mutual checks and balances. Although the resources and military strength possessed by the royal family are much greater.
Far more than the other two, but I don't dare to offend the other two easily. After all, the power of a Martial Saint is huge. It is no exaggeration to say that a Martial Saint can completely destroy an ordinary dynasty.
Now the Dongfang Family, a super family in Star-Moon Continent, is the first to visit the Meng family, which makes Meng Fei feel flattered. Putting aside the interests, this is a very honorable thing.
"Brother, I heard that that boy Meng Haoran actually invited Third Young Master Dongfang and others to our home." Meng Haoran's second brother Meng Yuran said.
"It's me, I've heard about it too, but I don't know if they were invited by Haoran. Maybe they wanted to come to our house, and then they were bumped into by Haoran on the way. Then what is the identity of Third Young Master Dongfang, and what happened to Haoran?"
Maybe we have friendship with him." Meng Huaran said with some disdain.
"That's right. Even if it's an acquaintance, it's just a chance meeting. There should be no friendship. We must seize the opportunity this time. If we can get close to the third young master, then Haoran will be dead." Meng Yuran said.
"Let's go and greet them and see how the third young master of the legendary Eastern Family is doing."
On the other side, Shi Lei and others were still walking leisurely, chatting about life ideals and other things. They were all young people, so there were quite a lot of topics.
"If it weren't for you in this competition, my weapons would be better." Wenqing looked at Shi Lei, somewhat unconvinced.
"I know, when I got the dagger, I obviously felt it had some flaws." Shi Lei admitted frankly.
"You are quite honest, yes, but your long ax is indeed more powerful than my dagger. Mine is not as murderous as yours. Can you tell me how you did it?" Wenqing asked curiously.
.
"Is this... confidential?"
"Oh, don't tell me." Wenqing looked unconcerned, but she was still curious in her heart.
Meng Haoran was listening beside them and couldn't say anything, but he knew his identity, so he didn't have any objections in his heart, so he was thinking about how to make people believe that he had a good relationship with Third Young Master and the others.
"I'm telling you, Shi Lei, it's a good thing you didn't take action in Guanzhou, otherwise I would have missed Die'er." The third young master said with deep feeling.
When Shi Lei returned to Yunzhou with Jinxuan and passed by Guanzhou, he met Nanmen Guanyu and made trouble for Nalan's family, but the third young master stepped forward to save Nalan Die from the fire and water.
"Die'er told me that you saved him once, so I want to thank you on her behalf." Third Young Master said seriously.
"Okay, sir, thank you or something. Are you being pretentious? Miss Nalan is a good girl. Treat her well. Don't let her down by following you all the way." Shi Lei patted the third young master on the shoulder.
.
"Don't worry, I can't use anyone except her now, and some of my bad habits have been corrected." The third young master said happily, holding Nalandie in hand.
Nalan Die smiled generously at Shi Lei. Since the knot in his heart was opened, he treated Shi Lei very normally. The ignorance and expectation that belonged to a young man had all dissipated.
If life is just like the first meeting, why should the autumn wind draw a fan sadly? The first meeting is amazing, and the goodbye is still the same. Life is like this, life is like this, and this is how good it is.
…
"Welcome, Third Young Master of the Dongfang Family, welcome to our Meng family!" Meng Fei saw Shi Lei and others arriving and bowed quickly. Although he was a generation older than the Third Young Master, no one thought it was unreasonable.
In this world, only the strong will be respected. This is an unchanging law.
Of course, there was a brief exchange of greetings next. The third young master was indeed a man who had seen the world. His speech was impeccable and his all-around skills made Shi Lei admire him. Then he went to attend the prepared banquet.
"I wonder what Third Young Master's plans are for coming to Yanzhou this time." Meng Fei asked after drinking for three rounds.
"Actually, I originally planned to go back to Yuezhou today after handling some things in Yanzhou, but I happened to meet Shi Lei and Brother Haoran this morning. I didn't expect that we had similar interests and we could chat easily. Moreover, under Brother Haoran
With your warm invitation, I came to your door." Third Young Master smiled.
"As expected, it was a chance encounter. We just met this morning. It didn't take long. Meng Haoran was really lucky. He unexpectedly met the Third Young Master when he went out." Meng Huaran and Meng Yuran muttered. Because they drank some wine, they were far away from Shi Lei and the others.
We were sitting a little far away, so we didn't use our spiritual consciousness to talk.
Of course, most people don't emit their spiritual consciousness when eating. After all, this is a waste of soul power, but Shi Lei is a strong martial artist. Even without using his spiritual consciousness, he can still hear what they said by relying on the sharpness of his own organs.
However, judging from the appearance of the Third Young Master, it seems that he did not hear what Meng Huaran and the others said. If you want Meng Haoran to gain a foothold in the Meng family, what you are doing now is not enough.
Shi Lei gently touched it with his foot under the table, reminding him to add some strong ingredients.
