"Jiang is three years old, how did he know that I was caught doing hard labor in the Treasure Carving Building?" Zhao Anzhong was stunned.

Zhao An stood up and cautiously asked tentatively, "Miss Xiyan, you just said that he asked you to save me a year ago, right?"

"That's right. Xi Yan spoke directly.

Swallowing his saliva quietly, Zhao An asked again, "Then why did the girl come to save me now?"

Xi Yan smiled sweetly, her white and slender fingers gently pressed against the tip of her small nose, and her eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she was thinking about something.

Zhao An stood aside awkwardly, his face was red, a pair of eyes staring at each other was not, not looking, he had to look left and right unnaturally, every time he inadvertently swept over his body, his ears were even more red, and he looked away in a panic.

"Ahem......"

Zhao An coughed unnaturally, seeing that he didn't seem to want to speak, he naturally didn't want to force her to say it, "Since it's inconvenient for the girl to say it, then ......"

"Because I see that you hate it, and I want you to suffer more, so I deliberately let you be whipped for a year in the Land of Fusion, do you have an opinion?"

"From now on, you will follow me to do hard labor, and after two years of doing it, you will be free. The broken house next to the courtyard is left to you for the time being, if you don't hurry in, it will be difficult for this girl to kick you in!"

Zhao An looked at Xi Yan in astonishment, the sweet smile just now instantly became indifferent, and suddenly secretly said in his heart, how can this woman turn her face faster than turning a book.

Looking at Xi Yan's gaze, he saw that behind him was an extremely elegant courtyard, which was full of magnificent flowers and plants, and bursts of fragrance wafted from it, and at first glance it was the place where the woman lived.

"In the future, you don't need to call me girl, just call me embarrassed. Xi Yan said coldly. "Remember, from now on, in this carved treasure building, I will cover you. ”

As he spoke, Xiyan straightened his chest with great pride, and the snow white on his chest trembled slightly.

Zhao Anhe had seen such a scene, and his face immediately turned red like blood, and he didn't dare to look at it again, so he hurriedly lowered his head and ran into the broken house like a desperate escape.

shrank in the house for two days in fear, and Zhao An's heart gradually relaxed.

The place where Xi Yan lives belongs to a courtyard of the Carved Treasure Building, and it is the most prosperous street of the magic sect outside the door, and you can see the scenery of the Mo Styx River when you stand by the window, although Zhao An lives in a broken house, but it is much stronger than the previous one.

Although it was said that Zhao An was asked to do hard labor, since Zhao An arrived, Xi Yan not only gave Zhao An any task, but also did not even take a step out of the house, not knowing what to do in his room.

Finally one day, Zhao An couldn't help it, and went to Xiyan's room and knocked on the door, wanting to ask the other party if he had any tasks to arrange for him. But before he finished speaking, he was scared back by the fierce words "Do whatever you like, don't come to quarrel with me".

Since the other party had no intention of letting him work, Zhao An was naturally happy here, and slept in his room for four days and four nights before he walked out of the room refreshed.

It was March, the spring was warm, the wind was blushing, and the entire Heavenly Mandate City seemed to be connected with the season between heaven and earth, full of vigorous vitality and vitality.

Since leaving Zhao Lan's side and entering the Yunhai Sect to cultivate, what he has done every day is either penance, or always wary of others, and he no longer has such a leisurely time and mood to appreciate the spring light, but he didn't expect this time to make him too addicted.

After a year of hard work in the land of fusion, and now that he came out for a walk, Zhao An's whole person was extremely relaxed, raised his head and took a deep breath, and even the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.

"Daoyou, is that you?"

As soon as he took two steps, a tentative and joyful voice sounded from behind Zhao An, and when he looked back, he saw a young monk standing opposite the carved treasure building, his eyes shining, staring at him directly, as if he had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Daoyou are talking to me?"

Zhao An pointed at himself and opened his mouth in confusion. He vaguely felt in his heart that this person was familiar, but he couldn't remember anything for a while.

The man nodded, and suddenly grabbed the protective card on Zhao An's waist without saying anything, stared at it for a moment, his hands trembled, and he choked up,

"Fellow Daoist, I've been waiting for you for a few days, but I'm looking forward to you!" said the young man's eyes, his eyelids blinked, as if tears could fall in the next moment, and he looked extremely miserable.

"Who are you?" Zhao An frowned, seeing that this person's reaction was clearly to know himself, but he really couldn't remember half of it.

"Fellow Daoist, it doesn't matter who I am, hurry up and give me the protection money you owe for a year!"

Protection money?

Zhao An was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that when he first came to this Heavenly Mandate City, there was indeed a young monk who came here to receive protection money.

"Are you Wang Hu?" asked Zhao An.

"Yes, I'm Wang Hu, I said friends, quickly teach me this year's protection money, and I'll go back and pay it." Wang Hu's voice was eager, and at the same time he was tugging at Zhao An's sleeve, as if he would never stop if he couldn't get the protection money.

"Too greedy...... Zhao An said in astonishment, "I've been punished for three years of hard labor in the Carved Treasure Building, why did you still come to me! If I don't leave the Carved Treasure Building, you will still be waiting here?"

Wang Hu's face was bitter, and his voice was slightly choked, "Fellow Daoist, you don't know......"

Wang Hu said sentence by sentence, and Zhao An also understood the general idea.

On that day, he cut off three fingers of Chen Chong, and then was punished to do three years of hard labor in the Treasure Building, Chen Chong was full of anger and had no way to vent, but he remembered the "Wang Hu" in Zhao An's mouth back then, and took him as a scapegoat.

In this way, Wang Hu suffered.

In the past, he was often beaten and scolded first, and he didn't know where Chen Chong got the news, Zhao An was brought out by Xiyan from the fusion, so he simply forced Wang Hu to Xiyan and asked him to collect Zhao An's protection money.

Not to mention how domineering and powerful Xi Yan is, looking at the entire Heavenly Mandate City, few people dare to come to the Carved Treasure Building to spread wild, let alone receive protection fees.

Since he couldn't find Zhao An, Chen Chong was really pressed too hard, in order to be less beaten, Wang Hu could only take out his share of himself and increase the number of Zhao An's spirit stones, otherwise, Chen Chong didn't know what vicious methods were waiting for him.

If it weren't for the spirit stones that he still had left before, he would have starved to death.

"Fellow Daoist, you are indeed not easy. Zhao An looked at Wang Hu with a sympathetic expression. "However, before I went in and out of the treasure land, I was unfamiliar with life and could only pay some protection money, now ......"

Zhao An paused slightly, and said a little apologetically, "I definitely won't pay any more protection fees." ”

Hearing this, Wang Hu's face changed instantly, "Daoyou, what did you say?"

"Brother Wang, I am now a person from the Carved Treasure Building, is it appropriate for you to come to me to receive protection money? Besides, I have a feud with Chen Chong again, how can I pay the protection fee again. Zhao Anpi opened his mouth with a smile.

Wang Hu gritted his teeth and said, "Don't forget, brother, when you came here, you took good care of you. ”

Zhao An glanced at Wang Hu, and gently patted the storage bag with his right hand, and a spiritual light flew out of it and landed on his palm. "Yes, I do take good care of Zhao, just an internal map of the magic sect, I only sold three spirit stones in the lower district. ”

Wang Hu's face turned red suddenly, looking quite embarrassed, but he still stubbornly said, "This map is not very good, at least it didn't let Daoyou get lost!"

Zhao An took a deep breath, this Wang Hu's face is really thick enough.

After staying in this Heavenly Mandate City for more than a year, this Wang Hu is only a fourth-level cultivator of condensation, and he is not his opponent at all.

Although Xi Yan has a strange temper, he is now a person with Xi Yan to the outside world, although he doesn't know what Xi Yan's identity is, but with such a big backer, it is naturally useless to use it.

Seeing that Zhao Anran was unmoved, Wang Hu said fiercely, "Zhao An! You have only been doing hard labor in this carved treasure building for three years, and sooner or later you will leave the carved treasure building." Let me tell you, if you return the spirit stone to me now, if you don't hand it over, a bunch of masters will come over under my order, if you know each other, hurry up and hand over the spirit stone!"

Zhao An smiled cruelly, "Who are you scaring about? If you can really call a bunch of masters with an order, why do you have to entangle with me here for so long, besides, you dare to deal with me with your injuries?"

As he spoke, Zhao An glanced over Wang Hu's body with a pair of eyes, and from his exposed skin, it was bruised and purple, and it seemed that he had also been bullied a lot.

"Fellow Daoist!"

When Wang Hu saw Zhao An's words, he was immediately anxious, "I beg you, although you have been doing hard labor this year, the twenty spirit stones of the magic sect every month are still there, and you are now with the carver of the Carving Treasure Building, and the oil and water in the future will be enough for you to earn, why should you have the same knowledge as me!"

While speaking, Wang Hu knelt down with a "plop", crying one by one with tears in his eyes, obviously this year's days were really going to drive him crazy.

In this way, Zhao An was speechless.

He has always eaten soft rather than hard, and has his own way of dealing with villains, but he is a little overwhelmed by this kind of kneeling and begging for mercy.

Speaking of Wang Hu, he was also forced to be helpless, since he knew that the person in front of him had abolished Chen Chong's three fingers and was punished to come to the Treasure Sculpture Building to do three years of hard labor, he knew that Zhao An was not easy to mess with.

But there is no way, the people above him are even more difficult to mess with, and they won't listen to his explanations at all, if he doesn't try, I'm afraid he will really be bullied to death by the people above.

Zhao An looked at Wang Hu who was begging embarrassedly, he really didn't kick it away, and it wasn't it to give the spirit stone, so the two of them were in one place.

"What are you doing here? Get back here. ”
