Zheng Haotian couldn't help but glance at her twice.
In fact, he didn't have any delusions in his heart, but for some reason, this woman's voice was filled with an irresistible magic power. Once he heard her voice, he would have an unforgettable feeling.
The feeling, and the weird idea that the more I listen, the more I want to listen.
That's why Zheng Hao was able to make such an unceremonious action, so he couldn't help but pay more attention to it.
Although Yu Jiansheng had the same thought, after all, his rich experience was far beyond what Zheng Haotian could match, and his age did not allow him to do such over-the-top things, so he was able to endure it.
The middle-aged man known as the big shopkeeper smiled and said: "Don't worry, Miss Qiu, as soon as there is news, we will be the first to notify the Qiu family."
Miss Qiu smiled and bowed, and went downstairs accompanied by another old man.
The big shopkeeper turned around, and his sharp, lightning-like eyes immediately fell on Yu Jiansheng and Zheng Haotian. Behind him, it was Jiang Qiufeng who had brought them up.
Although this shopkeeper has a very high status in Wanbaoxuan, standing in front of the shopkeeper at this time, he stood with his hands solemnly, his face was calm, his eyes were not squinting, and he was silent.
When you think about the fact that the steward Yue Kejiang is not even qualified to enter this place, you can imagine how strict and terrifying the rules in Wanbaoxuan are.
"I am Qi Jiaming, the big shopkeeper of Wanbaoxuan in Pianxi City. I wonder how you should call them?"
The sparkle in this man's eyes disappeared in a flash, but in this short moment, both Yu Jiansheng and Zheng Haotian had a strange feeling in their hearts that they were completely seen through by the other person.
The uncle and nephew looked at each other, and they were extremely surprised. Although they could not see what Qi Jiaming's cultivation level was, one thing was absolutely certain, that is, his martial arts cultivation level was extremely strong.
above the two of them.
The junior hunter was naturally an extraordinary being in Dalin Village, but when he came here, he seemed to become ordinary.
"Old Yu Jiansheng, this is my nephew Zheng Haotian." Yu Jiansheng quickly bowed and said.
Qi Jiaming nodded slowly and said, "It turns out to be Brother Yu and Little Brother Zheng."
Yu Jiansheng smiled bitterly and said: "I am just a hunter in Dalin Village. I don't dare to call you the big shopkeeper."
Qi Jiaming glanced at Zheng Haotian's hand and said slowly: "Deserved."
Although these three words are unpleasant and not heavy, they have a power of their own that makes people dare not disobey them.
"You two, please come in." He turned around and walked inside, while Jiang Qiufeng was the first to lift the door curtain and respectfully led them into the room.
Qi Jiaming waved his hand and said: "Prepare a banquet for me. I want to entertain two guests today."
Jiang Qiufeng responded respectfully, bowed his head and stepped back. From the beginning to the end, the shopkeeper behaved like a slave, which puzzled Zheng Haotian and the other two.
Seemingly seeing their doubts, Qi Jiaming smiled slightly and said: "Since little brother Zheng has a white jade ring on his hand, he is no longer an outsider. To be honest, in Wanbaoxuan, I am the only one who is not a local.
people."
Yu Jiansheng and Zheng Haotian looked at each other, neither of them understood the meaning of this sentence.
Aren't the identity and status of the locals far superior to these locals? Not only Zheng Haotian couldn't figure this out, even Yu Jiansheng, who was quite knowledgeable, was confused.
Qi Jiaming slowly shook his head and said: "Brother He, this matter is not a secret. If you can go there in the future..." His voice suddenly paused, with a slightly embarrassed look on his face, and said: "Let's not talk about this anymore.
I haven’t asked yet, where did the white jade ring in Brother Zheng’s hand come from?”
When Qi Jiaming said this, he stretched out his hand intentionally or unintentionally.
Yu Jiansheng and Zheng Haotian's eyes fell on his finger at the same time, where there was an inconspicuous white jade ring.
This kind of ordinary-style ring would fit perfectly if worn on the fingers of ordinary people, but it would be a bit thought-provoking if worn on the head of the shopkeeper who is in charge of the entire Wanbaoxuan.
Zheng Haotian was stunned for a moment, and then stretched out his hand. Judging from the appearance alone, the two rings were almost the same.
Zheng Haotian said with surprise: "It turns out that the big shopkeeper also owns a white jade ring like this."
Qi Jiaming gave a bitter smile and said, "Little brother, I'm just kidding. The ring in my hand is only for proving your identity, and it is absolutely incomparable to the one in your hand."
Zheng Haotian was suspicious. From what he said, it seemed that the white jade ring contained some unknown power. In fact, he didn't know that without the magical power in the ring to protect him, he would almost inevitably have to fight Bai Yan.
The Wolf King suffered both losses and even perished together.
Qi Jiaming's conversation suddenly changed and he began to introduce Wanbaoxuan's status inside and outside Pianxi City.
Just as Yu Jiansheng thought, although Wanbaoxuan is not one of the four major forces in Pianxi City, they have been operating for thousands of years, and their potential influence is also deeply rooted. Even the four major forces in the city are not willing to really be enemies with them.
However, what really shocked Yu Jiansheng and Zheng Haotian was that Qi Jiaming's words actually revealed something incredible.
Among the four major forces in the city, except for one which is composed entirely of locals, the other three, as well as Wanbaoxuan, seem to have the support of even larger forces behind them.
Of course, when Qi Jiaming said these words, his words were vague and uncertain, and he only revealed an obscure piece of information without directly clarifying it.
A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Qiufeng came up again and invited them to a courtyard in the backyard.
In the courtyard, a banquet table had already been arranged. Yu Jiansheng and Zheng Haotian glanced at it and were quite surprised.
On the wine table, there were ten dishes of cold dishes, all of them exquisite and unique, with a delicate fragrance. They didn't seem to have been prepared in a hurry. They looked at each other and thought in their hearts, could this person have foresight?
However, they don't know that for people like Qi Jiaming, exquisite dishes will be prepared in the kitchen at any time, and they can be taken out and eaten in the shortest time just waiting for his order. Once these ingredients are no longer fresh,
It will be disposed of as garbage. Such wasteful luxury is far beyond their imagination.
Qi Jiaming sat down at the main table and invited them to have a meal. At this table, except for the three of them, there was no one else to accompany him. Even Jiang Qiufeng only stood behind Qi Jiaming, not squinting.
Listen up.
After drinking for three rounds, Qi Jiaming suddenly asked: "Brother Zheng, I just ignored it and forgot to ask, where did the white jade ring in your hand come from?"
Yu Jiansheng also turned his head. Everything that happened today gave him a great shock. A white jade ring could actually allow them to be treated like honored guests at Wanbaoxuan. What surprised him even more was that even he
I don’t know how Zheng Haotian obtained this white jade ring.
Zheng Haotian hesitated for a moment and said, "Senior, this ring was given to me by a friend of mine."
Qi Jiaming said slowly: "I wonder who your friend is..."
Zheng Haotian said loudly: "Her surname is Xi."
Qi Jiaming's eyes lit up slightly, and Jiang Qiufeng, who was standing behind him, trembled involuntarily. Obviously, Zheng Haotian's answer exceeded his expectations.
"Haha, it's true." Qi Jiaming laughed loudly, and after a while, he said: "Brother, I thought you would find me in the shortest possible time, but what I didn't expect was that you actually delayed it for a whole month. Hehe, this
If I didn't want to sell the skin of the White-Eyed Wolf King, I'm afraid I might not come to my door."
Zheng Haotian smiled brightly and said: "It's not good to come here and nag me for nothing."
Qi Jiaming waved his hand and said: "Brother, you are too polite." He clapped his hands and a man walked in from outside the court, holding a wooden box in his hands.
Yu Jiansheng and Zheng Haotian's expressions changed slightly. They brought this wooden box.
Qi Jiaming pushed the box in front of them and said, "Brother, you have a close relationship with our Wanbaoxuan. If you need money, just ask. There are ten thousand taels of silver notes in this box. If it's not enough, just come and get it."
With a sincere smile on his face, he said: "As for the white-eyed wolf king skin, we can't accept it."
Zheng Haotian's expression changed slightly, and he clearly remembered what Xi Yuting said when they separated.
If he encounters any unsolvable difficulties, he can go to Wanbaoxuan to seek help from the shopkeeper.
Nowadays, the big shopkeeper can spend tens of thousands of taels of silver, and judging from his attitude, he seems to be disdainful of these silvers. This shows that this person's ability is far beyond his imagination.
Taking a deep breath, for some reason, Zheng Haotian felt not only no joy at this time, but also a slight sense of loss.
It turns out that the gap between me and others is so far and incredible.
He stood up, pushed the box over without hesitation, and said: "Big shopkeeper, I, Zheng Haotian, have hands and feet, and everything I earn is enough to support myself. If you are unwilling to accept the white-eyed wolf king skin, then
We had to find another buyer."
Qi Jiaming was stunned for a moment, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face.
If someone else had rejected his kindness, he might have suddenly turned against him and killed him on the spot. But when he glanced at the white jade ring on Zheng Haotian's hand, he felt a chill in his heart, and the thought immediately dissipated, never to be seen again.
Dare to come out.
Ps: Sorry, I went out today and just got home, so I posted a little late, sweat...
