Chapter 344: Request
"Is this little stone important to you?"
The burning heat in Chamberton's eyes flashed, so fast that it was impossible to notice. He forcibly componed himself and asked tentatively, his voice as calm as usual.
"Yes, it's very important!" Ling Bing said decisively without a hint of hesitation.
Although the burning heat that flashed in Qian Botong's eyes was fast, it still couldn't escape Ling Bing's eyes. Ling Bing's heart froze, it seemed that the mystery of the Qian family was about to be revealed. It's okay to know what the Qian family is asking for earlier, and she can consider it in advance to see if the price of the exchange is something she can afford.
She could have concealed the importance of the spirit stones to her, and could even mislead the Qian family into thinking that these spirit stones were of limited use to her, perhaps this would save the price. Like her, directly admitting the importance of the spirit stone to herself is equivalent to showing the hole cards in her hand to others, isn't that clearly letting others slaughter herself?
But the dignity of being a patriarch made her disdain to do so.
The strong have the dignity and bottom line of the strong, and for mortals, they also need to get what they want through deception, Ling Bing said that she can't afford to lose that person.
The light in Qian Botong's eyes became brighter, and even a flush appeared uncontrollably on his slightly chubby face.
His lips quivered, and he stopped talking. But soon, I don't know what came to mind, the light in Qian Botong's eyes slowly dimmed, and the flush on his face faded. finally sighed secretly.
"I've left the contact information of that mercenary team, I can contact them at any time, and I can introduce you if Miss Jiujiu needs it. Miss Ninety-Nine is going to see them now?"
Qian Botong's face returned to normal again, and he said very respectfully.
Ling Bing couldn't help but look at Qian Botong with a surprised gaze. He didn't even make any requests, obviously his performance was already obvious just now, obviously he wanted something, but why did he suddenly change his mind?
At the same time, Ling Bing's heart sank slightly. can let him still be able to hold back and not open his mouth under such favorable conditions, it seems that what the Qian family wants must be not small. Maybe the cost will be more than she expected.
"Well, these little stones are important to me, so I have to know where they come from. However, I don't want your news in vain. Well, you can make me a request in exchange. Ling Bing groaned slightly and spoke.
Since Qian Botong has concerns, he can't speak out. It's better for her to find out her attitude and push him. Some things have to pay a price sooner or later, and it is better to pay late than early, and she never wants to owe cause and effect at will.
"Miss Jiujiu......" Qian Botong raised his head abruptly and looked at Ling Bing, his eyes flashing with a scorching light again. "I ...... I ......"
There was an impulse in Qian Botong's heart, bewitching him, so that he couldn't help but really blurt out the long-awaited request in his heart.
However, thinking of the ancestor's words, there is only one chance, and the request can only be mentioned once, and now, before the time comes, he can't waste the opportunity.
"No need to be like this, it is an honor for our Qian family to be able to provide some trivial help to Miss Jiujiu, you ...... It doesn't have to be this way. Qian Botong tried to calm the waves in his heart and said quietly.
Huh? You actually held back again? Ling Bing also admired this Qian Botong and this Qian family a little. She didn't believe that their Qian family was really a saint who just wanted to give and didn't ask for anything in return, she had already built a ladder for them, and as long as they spoke, she tried her best to meet their requirements. At this point, can this Qian Botong still be able to hold back? Isn't he afraid that she will really borrow the slope to get off the donkey, so that they will get nothing?
"I really don't ask for it, I'll give you the opportunity, if you really give up, I may not give you such a chance next time!" Ling Bing suddenly felt that the current plot was a little strange and a little funny. This Qian family was in a hurry to give her things for nothing, without asking for anything in return, but he, the person who received things for nothing, took the initiative to give them to others to be slaughtered as a little fat sheep, and others were still unwilling.
Chambers couldn't be calm anymore. Is Miss Jiujiu really willing to give him a chance to make a request? Isn't it a joke? Not a temptation?
He jerked his head up and stared at Ling Bing's face, and the muscles on his slightly chubby face jumped involuntarily. The mind is racing, and I quickly measure the feasibility of things. Is what Miss Jiujiu said true? If you miss the opportunity, you won't come back!
"Miss Jiujiu, I do have a request and need your help!" In the end, Qian Botong gritted his teeth and decided to seize this opportunity. Truth be told, he doesn't really have much time to wait.
Ling Bing raised his eyebrows, is he finally going to speak?
"What request?"
"My request is, I hope you can help my family ancestor advance to the ninth order!" Qian Botong's eyes were fixed on Ling Bing's face, not wanting to miss the slightest change in her face.
What? Help their ancestors to advance to the ninth rank?
Ling Bing's eyes widened slightly, how could he be sure that he would definitely be able to help others advance to the next rank? Especially since this promotion was not a fifth-order, sixth-order, or seventh-order, but a ninth-order! There were only a few ninth-orders in the Huajiu District?
Does he really dare to mention this Chambers?
Seeing the inexplicable look on Ling Bing's face and not saying a word, Qian Botong's heart couldn't help but sink slightly. But now that he has said it, he has to work hard no matter what.
"I know that my request is a bit excessive, but our Qian family really has no choice. The Ancestor has been trapped at the peak of the Eighth Order for hundreds of years, and the longevity is about to run out, but none of our descendants can take over the position of the Ancestor at present. ”
"Your Qian family, Ding Xingwang, how can it be that none of them have reached the eighth order?" Ling Bing abruptly interrupted Qian Botong's words, expressing extreme disbelief in his words.
But the expression on Qian Botong's face was very strange, like sadness and more like anger, his eyes were wide, and his eyes were bright red.
"Yes, our Qian family is prosperous, of course, it is impossible to have only one ancestor of the eighth order. In fact, two years ago, our Qian family did have four eighth-order, twenty-three seventh-order, and countless sixth-order. In the entire Huajiu District, the strength of our Qian family is not the strongest, but it can also be regarded as the top spear. But ......"
Qian Botong gritted his back molars tightly, gritting his teeth to a "grid" sound, and his face was full of terrifying hatred and anger: "However, who would have thought that during a routine trade fair in the first district of China, none of the four eighth-order uncles of our Qian family, seventeen seventh-order, could come back. Four eighth-order, seventeen seventh-order, none of them came back. disappeared without a trace, life and death were unknown, and the sea of people evaporated. No matter how many contacts the ancestor launched and how many times he searched, he couldn't find anyone. Otherwise, they weren't people, they didn't even have a message, as if they never existed. ”
