Chapter 20: Discernment
Zhou Xuan sneered and looked at the two middle-aged cultivators who had achieved great success in the foundation realm.
"Why, I heard just now that Peng Meijiu will not prevent cultivators from settling personal grievances, right?"
The two middle-aged security guards of the Peng Mei Drinking Party glared at Zhou Xu, and after looking at his dress, their eyes flashed with disdain.
One of the middle-aged security guards was furious and shouted:
"Boy, what kind of thing are you, you can also be compared to Tian Menggongzi?"
"Hehe, hearing you say that, I don't deserve to be on an equal footing with Tian Meng?"
Zhou Xuyin asked coldly,
"That's right, you're dead, and no one cares. But if he's dead, he can't do it! The son of the Tian family, how can you let you kill wantonly?"
Another middle-aged security guard was equally furious.
Zhou Xuan didn't care about the anger of these two guys at all, he didn't even care about the Dragon Claw Gate, how could he care about the security personnel of the two Peng Mei Wine Parties?
Even if both of them were cultivators of the foundation building realm, they couldn't allow themselves to compromise.
Tian Meng suddenly laughed out loud, sure that Zhou Xuan would not dare to kill himself,
"Hahaha, Zhou Xu, if you have the guts, you will do it? I want to see if you dare to kill me! You waste, cowardly as a mouse. If you don't kill me today, tomorrow I will tie up your sister and make her my woman!"
Tian Meng's expression was cruel and vicious, although he was choked by Zhou Xu's neck, he still provoked Zhou Xu.
Originally, Zhou Xuan hesitated, after all, killing Tian Meng in front of the two Peng Mei Wine Club security personnel was not a small trouble.
But at this point, Tian Meng actually dared to threaten his sister, and Zhou Xuan no longer hesitated.
It's just Tian Meng, what can you do if you kill it!
"Hehe, then there's nothing to say. ”
Zhou Xuan snorted coldly and said lightly.
Click!
The palm of his hand suddenly exerted force, and Zhou Xuan directly pinched Tian Meng's neck.
Tian Meng's eyes widened, his eyes were full of fear and shock, and he couldn't believe that Zhou Xuan would really kill him.
"Boy, presumptuous!"
The two security guards were furious and rushed towards Zhou Xu, trying to recapture Tian Meng.
Tian Meng had just been pinched and his neck was broken, and if he was recuperated with elixir, he might be able to save it.
"Presumptuous, hehe, then I'll be presumptuous, what can you do?"
Zhou Xuan suddenly shook his hand and threw Tian Meng directly to the ground on the side, and the dull sound shook everyone's hearts in panic.
This force smashed on the ground, even if Tian Meng had not been pinched and his neck was broken, he would definitely die.
Zhong Qiurou was surprised, looked at Zhou Xu, and secretly wondered how he had changed so much.
Obviously, Zhou Xuan was still very timid and cowardly in high school, but now he has become so strong, it is like a different person.
"Boy, you are so arrogant, you really dare to kill you! Okay, I'll arrest you and hand you over to the Tian family to deal with. ”
The middle-aged security guard was furious, rushed to Zhou Xu, and grabbed him by the collar.
Zhou Xuan clenched his right fist, and his waist was secretly lucky.
When the opponent gets closer, you can strike through the flaws in the opponent's body with just one punch and knock them back.
"I'll see who dares to do it! Zhou Xuan is my person, I want to see who dares to bully our Lan family's people. ”
Lan Ruolan's voice came from the side, and everyone was startled and looked over.
Even the two middle-aged security guards stopped instantly, not daring to make any more moves against Zhou Xu.
Lan Ruolan is the eldest lady of the Lan family, how can the two middle-aged security guards not know each other?
Zhou Xuan squinted slightly, and his right hand and lower back, which were secretly powerful, gradually relaxed, and his hands were behind him.
"Blue, Miss Blue?"
The middle-aged security guard recognized Lan Ruolan at a glance, and his eyes widened in surprise, unable to believe her words.
"What? Do you have any doubts? I said, he's my man, and you need me to say it again?"
Lan Ruolan looked at the two middle-aged security guards coldly, slightly angry in her heart.
Originally, I was uncomfortable today, and I was worried that I had no place to vent, if these two middle-aged security guards dared not to give themselves face, Lan Ruolan didn't mind making a fuss about this Peng Mei wine party.
"Don't dare, don't dare. It's our rudeness, and we're leaving. ”
Cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of the two middle-aged security guards, and they secretly said that Zhou was weird, he was actually the Lan family.
Tian Meng is of course the son of the Tian family, but compared to the Tian family and the Lan family, it is simply the gap between the sparrow and the phoenix.
Lan Ruolan just said that she wanted to kill Tian Meng, and the Tian family didn't dare to put a fart, who would dare to talk more now?
Zhong Qiurou was even more curious about Zhou Xu, he actually had a good relationship with Lan Ruolan, the eldest lady of the Lan family.
"Hehe, it's just the death of a small family, I thought it was a big deal. ”
Lan Ruolan snorted coldly, secretly mocking the security personnel of the Peng Mei Wine Party for making a fuss.
The onlookers were all dumbfounded, and they couldn't imagine that this would be the result.
Zhou Xuan killed Tian Meng, and no one dared to ask more, because he was actually Lan Ruolan's person.
is so ordinary that he can't be more ordinary, but Zhou Xuan is not only strong, but also has the support of the Lan family behind him, and the difference in status that has been improved in this instant is simply staggering.
Zhou Xuan smiled, looked at Zhong Qiurou, and was ready to say hello.
Before he had time to talk to Zhong Qiurou just now, he was interrupted by Tian Meng, and now he should have said a few words.
Lan Ruolan frowned slightly, grabbed Zhou Xu's wrist, and led him straight to the interior of Penglai Villa.
As soon as Zhong Qiurou was about to speak, she saw Zhou Xuan being pulled away by Lan Ruolan, and she looked a little embarrassed when she wanted to speak.
Zhou Xuan smiled helplessly, nodded to Zhong Qiurou and apologized, and followed Lan Ruolan.
Pulling Zhou Xuan away, Lan Ruolan turned to look at him and said dissatisfiedly:
"You guy, why didn't you say that you were my person just now? As long as you say my name, I see who dares to bully you! Although our Lan family is not as good as the Ling family, at least in Penglai City, no one dares to disrespect me. ”
Lan Ruolan crossed her hands on her hips, looking arrogant.
Zhou Xuan smiled, he is a man, how can he use a woman's prestige to resolve trouble when he encounters it?
"This ......"
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not feeling well today, if you are obedient, I can still be happy. ”
Lan Ruolan snorted lightly, directly hugged Zhou Xu's arm, and pulled him into the venue.
In the distance, a handsome young man with black hair crushed the wine glass in his hand and looked at Zhou Xuan viciously.
"Stinky boy, Ruolan is my person, you are dead!"
The black-haired handsome young man's eyes showed murderous intent, and he was jealous, so angry that his chest kept rising and falling.
The Pengmei Wine Festival resembles a large bazaar, where many merchants rent small storefronts to "set up stalls".
It's just that the merchants who set up these stalls are different from ordinary small traders and vendors, and almost all of the things they sell are valuables that only cultivators can use.
Lan Ruolan walked to a small table and saw a shiny gold-inlaid jade bracelet on the table, so she picked it up and played with it.
"Hee-hee~ Do you think it's good-looking?"
Putting the bracelet on her wrist, Lan Ruolan asked with a smile.
Zhou Xuan smiled and nodded, not commenting, after all, Lan Ruolan is the eldest lady, and her comments are insignificant.
Lan Ruolan sighed softly, put down the bracelet, and did not choose to buy it.
"Let's go, let's go over there. ”
"Master, please keep the bracelet, I may come back to buy it later. ”
Lan Ruolan looked at the middle-aged merchant and said with a smile.
The middle-aged merchant was stunned for a moment, nodded with a wry smile, he didn't dare to provoke the eldest lady of the Lan family.
Zhou Xuan followed Lan Ruolan's side, puzzled, and couldn't help asking:
"You seem to like that bracelet very much, why don't you buy it? You have so much money, don't you save money on it." ”
Lan Ruolan snorted lightly, glanced at Zhou Xu, and said:
"I'm not thinking about you yet, you will definitely have to buy more important things to assist in cultivation later, if you run out of money, wouldn't it be very embarrassing. Just a bracelet, it doesn't matter, I don't care anyway. But if you can buy medicine to improve your cultivation, you will have stronger strength to protect me, wouldn't it be better for me?"
Hearing Lan Ruolan's words, Zhou Xuan was also stunned for a moment, and his chest was a little weak.
Although Lan Ruolan, the eldest lady, is a little arrogant, she is really kind in her heart, and she can always move people in small things.
Just as Zhou Xuan was about to speak, there was sudden chaos in the distance, and a white-haired old man roared angrily.
"I said, this thing is worth three million at most, and you still want to sell it for ten million, do you want to take me Wu Yuxin as a fool?"
Zhou Xuan and Lan Ruolan looked ahead together, and many people were watching over there, which was really lively.
Lan Ruolan thought for a moment, looked at Zhou Xu, and said:
"Oh, I remember, Wu Yuxin is known as the number one treasure connoisseur in Penglai City, and he is proficient in the art of feng shui. And this person seems to be in the realm of body refining, and it is said to be quite strong. ”
Zhou Xuan nodded, squinting slightly.
A treasure connoisseur who is proficient in feng shui is indeed rare in Penglai City.
Lan Ruolan was even more curious about the situation over there, and pulled Zhou Xuan over to join in the fun.
Wu Yuxin stood in front of a red cloth table, furious, his beard blowing undulating.
The merchant was a young girl with simple eyes, bowing her head in fear, not daring to look at Wu Yuxin.
This girl is ordinary-looking, but she is seventeen years old, and she looks pitiful with tears in her eyes.
Zhou couldn't bear it, and secretly said that Wu Yuxin, an old man, was unkind, and actually embarrassed a little girl.
"Hmph, being old and not dying is a thief. ”
Whispering softly, Zhou Xuan felt disdain for Wu Yuxin's behavior.
When the young man in suit standing beside Zhou Xu heard this, he sneered and snorted, and said:
"Hehe, what do you know, I'm afraid I don't even know who that old-timer is, right? Let me tell you, that old-timer is called Wu Yuxin, and he is the best feng shui and treasure connoisseur in our Penglai City. What kind of thing are you, dare to insult Master Wu?"
Being ridiculed by the people around him, Zhou Xuan didn't care, a few words of sarcasm were not enough to make him angry.
Zhou Xu pushed everyone away, walked to the red cloth table, and looked at the quaint compass placed on the table.
Just now, Wu Yuxin just said that this thing is not worth 10 million, and he wants to buy it for 3 million.
"Who are you, young man?"
Wu Yuxin frowned slightly and looked at Zhou Xu.
Zhou Xuan didn't pay attention to Wu Yuxin, but reached out to pick up the compass and looked at it carefully.
Wu Yuxin was curious about Zhou Xudun, this young man also looked like an expert, but he was more like a mallet.
After looking at the compass, Zhou Xuan put it down and glanced at the little girl with tears in her eyes behind the red cloth table.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask the price, Zhou Xuan suddenly shut up, and was suddenly attracted by a wood carving placed on the table.
The wood carvings are very ordinary, and the carvings are nothing more than roaring tigers. The craftsmanship of the carving is reasonable, but it is not enough to make the children of those families with high vision take a fancy to them.
"Hmm, it's actually Burning Flame Wood!" Zhou Xuan was shocked.
Zhou Xuan observed carefully and saw the material of the wood carving at a glance.
Lan Ruolan followed Zhou Xu's gaze and curiously went to take the Burning Flame Wood, and suddenly stopped as soon as she touched it.
"It's hot!"
Lan Ruolan withdrew her fingers, frowning slightly and wondering, her fingers actually didn't feel hot anymore.
"Little sister, how much are you going to sell this compass and this wood carving?"
Zhou Xuan showed a faint smile and asked kindly.
The girl wiped away her tears, looked at Zhou Xu, and replied with a little doubt:
"The compass is ten million, and the wood carving is four million. ”
Hearing that the wood carving actually cost four million, Wu Yuxin couldn't help but sneer.
"Hehe, it's just a wood carving of burning wood, at most it is a craft more than a hundred years ago, and ordinary ornaments are worth two million. Two million, I'm afraid it's too high!"
Wu Yuxin snorted coldly and said sarcastically.
And Wu Yuxin is not wrong, it is just a wood carving of ordinary burning wood, so it is indeed not very valuable.
Although incineration wood is rare, it does not have much actual effect, and it is only used as an ornament at most. Two million is indeed a decent price.
But how could Zhou Xu's vision be comparable to that of people like Wu Yuxin?
At the beginning, he was also a child of a big family in the Bixiao Divine Domain, and even if Zhou Xuan was a waste, at least he had seen many genius treasures. The real purpose of this burning wood is not just to be used as a carving ornament.
"Fourteen million in total, I'll buy this compass, and this wood carving. ”
Zhou Xuan smiled, directly took out two bank cards, and handed them to the little girl.
Lan Ruolan was puzzled, thinking that Zhou Xuan was a little impulsive, but she didn't stop it.
Zhou Xuan gave himself too many doubts and curiosity, and fourteen million was nothing to himself, Lan Ruolan wanted to know more about Zhou Xu's real purpose in buying these two things.
The little girl was stunned, but she didn't expect Zhou Xuan to really decide to buy the compass and wood carving for 14 million without bargaining!
"Heh, what kind of thing is this guy, Master Wu thinks the price is unreasonable, he still dares to buy it at a high price?"
"Hmph! Nouveau riche, here to show off your prestige. ”
"Dare to despise Master Wu so much, this person is really arrogant. ”
"And the rat is short-sighted and short-sighted. There is no place to spend money, but they are just gentlemen who like to waste. ”
The people around all scoffed at Zhou Xu, and ridiculed Zhou Xu, secretly saying that he was simply a fool.
Even a feng shui and treasure connoisseur like Wu Yuxin thought it was a chicken rib, Zhou Xu actually bought it without hesitation, what else could this be a fool?
Wu Yuxin snorted coldly, squinting slightly at Zhou Xu, thinking that he was not dealing with himself!
Reasoning and bargaining by yourself is not considered to be bullying the little girl who sells things. But Zhou Xuan actually came over and directly bought what he wanted at a high price, which was simply a slap in the face.
The thing was bought by others, which was not enough to worry about, but it lost face, and Wu Yuxin was angry about it.
"Hehe, the son of a gentleman, the eyes of the rat are narrow, and the child cannot be taught. ”
Flicking his sleeves and turning around, Wu Yuxin ridiculed Zhou Xu, thinking that he was just a waste of money and a gentleman to show off his wealth.
But Zhou Xuan didn't care, he thought that 14 million to buy these two things, it was worth the money!
Because, Zhou Xuan has absolute self-confidence and absolute vision, which is incomparable to Wu Yuxin.
