I just heard the woman say: "I haven't seen you for a long time. The master of the Ma family has always been kind."
The owner of the Ma family laughed loudly, and he was heard to say: "I'm sorry to bother you, Miss Hongdou. I am deeply honored. Thanks to Miss Hongdou, I can eat, sleep, and be in good health. I didn't know Miss Hongdou came to see me." Ma, what’s important?”
Shen Rui, who was in the opposite room, was shocked. It turned out that the woman with green gauze was the Hongdou alchemist he had heard about during the day. His guess was indeed correct. She was a fifth-grade alchemist.
Hongdou said: "The little girl came to the Ma family this time because she really wanted to ask the Ma family to do the little girl a favor for the sake of being an old friend."
The head of the Ma family said: "Miss Hongdou has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
Hongdou sighed and said: "I believe that the Ma family leader has also heard about the competition between the young lady and Miss Chunyu for the position of elder of the Alchemist Guild?"
The head of the Ma family said: "Mou Ma has heard a little bit."
Hongdou said: "Originally, in terms of strength, the two of us are evenly matched, and I, Hongdou, may not lose to her, but this time the Alchemist General Guild has issued a condition, that is, those who participate in the election must donate to the General Guild. Fifteen million gold coins, Miss Chunyu's family has a big business, so this amount of money is not a problem, but the little girl is just a commoner, and she really can't come up with that much money, so she wants to ask the Ma family owner to borrow some temporarily, and wait for it in the future. The little girl will pay it back when she has money, and if the Ma family owner needs it in the future, Hongdou will definitely do her best to help."
The head of the Ma family said: "This... fifteen million gold coins is not a small amount. Although Ma's family has a large fortune, it cannot afford so much cash. Miss Hongdou should ask elsewhere."
Hongdou said anxiously: "Even if the Ma family master can't come up with fifteen million, it would be a good idea to borrow some first, and then the remaining little girl can figure out a way."
The head of the Ma family said: "I'm sorry, Miss Hongdou, Mr. Ma has been busy with business recently, and almost all his money has been invested in the business. It seems that I can't help you."
Shen Rui understood immediately that the Ma family owner didn't have money, but made it clear that he didn't want to help her. He couldn't blame others. Why should they trust you, a young woman?
There was silence for a while, and then Hongdou said, "Since Master Ma is unwilling to help, the little lady will leave."
The head of the Ma family said: "Miss Hongdou, please be patient. If you are willing to agree to a condition, I, Ma, will go bankrupt and help Miss Hongdou to compete with Chun Yufeng."
Hongdou said happily: "What conditions."
The voice of the Ma family leader was a bit ambiguous: "As long as Miss Hongdou is willing to marry Mr. Ma and have a family..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a snapping sound in the living room, thinking that the owner of the Ma family had received a slap from Hongdou.
"If you don't want to marry, you won't marry. How can you hit someone..." came the unclear voice of the Ma family leader, and this slap was not a light one.
"If you say something like this again, be careful I'll kill you." After Hong Dou said that, she opened the door to the living room and walked out angrily.
When Shen Rui saw her walking out of the yard, he turned around and jumped outside. Tang Bing was waiting anxiously for Shen Rui. When he saw him coming out, he hurriedly asked: "How is it? What is she doing in there?"
Shen Rui smiled and said: "Let me tell you good news first. This Qingsha woman is actually Hongdou, a fifth-grade alchemist."
Tang Bing was surprised and happy, and said: "Is she really the fifth-grade alchemist Hongdou you found out about before?"
Shen Rui nodded and said, "What I heard with my own ears, can I be wrong?"
Immediately, he told Tang Bing the conversation between Hongdou and the Ma family leader inside.
Tang Bing said: "I didn't expect that this Alchemist Guild is so dark. It actually requires people to pay fifteen million gold coins to be eligible to run for election. Doesn't this make it clear who has the money? They just went and figured it out."
Shen Rui smiled and said: "That's good, it just gives us a chance."
Tang Bing said: "What opportunity?"
Shen Rui said: "Think about it, how can it be so easy to borrow these fifteen million gold coins? If Hongdou fails to be elected as the guild elder, wouldn't these people's money be wasted? So if I guessed correctly If we do, she will definitely not be able to borrow money. If we lend a helping hand to her in her most difficult time, she will definitely be very grateful to us. If we want her to help refine the Nirvana Pill, things will be much easier to handle."
When Tang Bing heard that it made sense, he said, "I can't tell that you have quite a lot of evil ideas at your young age."
Shen Rui smiled and replied: "You're not young anymore. You're only two or three years older than me. How can you call me older?"
Tang Bing smiled and said: "Fifteen million gold coins, do you have that much money?"
He only knew that Shen Rui got 10 million gold coins in Linchuan City last time, but he didn't know how much money Shen Rui had.
Shen Rui chuckled and said, "Let's go back. There's no point in following us any longer."
The two gave up tracking and returned to the inn.
After entering the room, Shen Rui took out a large number of rings from his arms, including high-grade ones, medium-grade ones, and low-grade ones. These were all collected by him from Zheng Tiansheng, Lian Pingsheng and his men.
Shen Rui directly took out the rings of Zheng Tiansheng and Lian Pingsheng from inside, and threw the others aside. Those people's rings have no meaning to him now, and he can just take them to the Chamber of Commerce to sell them together. Thinking of the previous times I have spent more than 10,000 pieces of high-grade spirit stones in my martial arts, and I feel very sad. I hope I can make some money back from this.
First, he took out Lian Pingsheng's ring and erased the spiritual power from his existence. He was surprised and cursed: "This vampire."
Tang Bing came over and took a look, and was stunned, saying, "So many things."
It turns out that the ring is actually filled with all kinds of magic weapons, equipment, spiritual stones, medicinal herbs, beast elixirs, beast souls, etc., everything is included, and there are as many as two million gold coins. However, although these things are many , there are not many that are really useful to Shen Rui. Only magic weapons, spiritual stones, and beast souls are useful. Magical weapons can be kept for future refining, and spiritual stones are medium-grade spiritual stones. Although the quality is a bit poor, but It's better than nothing, the beast soul can be left to Soul Lao to absorb.
Not getting any benefits from Lian Pingsheng, Shen Rui was full of expectations for Zheng Tiansheng's ring. A small president had plundered so many things, and an envoy of the General Chamber of Commerce should be extremely rich. Tang Bing had the same idea as him, guessing that there must be more good things in this ring, and opened his eyes wide with expectation.
After opening the ring, Shen Rui's eyes were stunned for a moment, and then he burst into a knowing laugh. The first and most eye-catching thing in it turned out to be the high-grade spiritual stones that made him feel distressed. They were piled there like a hill. Shen Rui used his mental power to A rough count revealed that there were nearly 20,000 yuan. Other treasures dazzled him even more. Although the quantity was not as many as the rings in Lian's life, the quality was much higher.
Shen Rui cursed: "These two locusts obviously have something much more valuable than me in their pockets, but they want to rob me, a poor guy. They are really greedy."
Tang Bing said: "Human desires are always endless, so there's nothing strange about that."
Shen Rui put away the ring, yawned and said, "I'm tired, go to bed early."
Then he smiled and said: "There is only one bed here, why don't you and I sleep together?"
Tang Bing raised his eyebrows and said, "If you keep talking nonsense, be careful I will castrate you in the middle of the night."
Shen Rui was startled and said hurriedly: "I'm kidding you, why are you so serious? In this case, I will make a bunk on the ground and you will sleep on the bed."
Tang Bing said: "That's pretty much it. However, if you dare to mess around at night, I will chop off your thing and feed it to the dogs."
Shen Rui said with a sad face: "I have the habit of sleepwalking. If I accidentally run into the bed in my dream, you must be careful."
Tang Bing snorted and said, "I don't care if you are sleepwalking or not."
The two were talking when they suddenly heard a strange noise coming from the next room. Tang Bing was startled, and Shen Rui smiled and said, "Don't panic, this is probably Miss Hongdou coming back. Let's just pretend we don't know."
