Chapter Twenty-Seven: Zhao Ziyun's Request
Gu Fan saw that Zhao Ziyun was about to rush over to hug him, and hurriedly took a step back. "Miss Zhao, please respect yourself. ”
Zhao Ziyun clasped his hands in front of his chest and said resentfully: "My brother doesn't like my sister so much." "If you are a person who doesn't know the situation, you still think that Gu Fan has done something sorry for her.
Gu Fan smiled awkwardly, "Miss Zhao said that she was joking, but I am a straw man, and I am not worthy of Miss Zhao." "Gu Fan doesn't have the idea of wanting to enjoy the joy of fish and water now, the most important thing for him now is cultivation, and he doesn't have a heartbeat for Zhao Ziyun.
Zhao Ziyun pursed his lips and said, "Steward Liu, you close the door, no one is allowed to come in without my consent." ”
Steward Liu listened and did so.
"Sit down, let's get down to business. Zhao Ziyun sat down on a chair, there were only two cups of tea in front of the rest of the chairs, it seemed that she had planned to see Gu Fan today.
Gu Fan and Qi Yue sat down separately, "Miss Zhao, just tell me what you have to do." Gu Fan took a sip of tea, but Qi Yue didn't move.
"In that case, I'll get straight to the point. Zhao Ziyun suddenly put down the tea he was drinking and sat upright.
"I need you to win the first place in this Qingyun Sect competition. Zhao Ziyun stared at Gu Fan and said.
"Even if you don't say that, I'll win first. Gu Fan said lightly, he has seen Zhao Jian's strength today, and he is not afraid at all, now his opponent is only Lu Sheng, but since people think that Zhao Jian and Lu Sheng's strength are comparable, it must not be difficult to get the first place.
"I naturally believe in Gu Gongzi's strength, but now, you don't seem to be qualified to compete. Zhao Ziyun winked at Gu Fan and said. Since she invited Gu Fan over, she naturally had chips that would make Gu Fan agree to her request.
"Do you have a way?" Gu Fan asked, he had to win the prize this time, although he and Qi Yue didn't need it much, but it was an extremely important medicinal material for Yue Lao, and he didn't know when he would be able to encounter it again after missing it this time.
"That's nature. Zhao Ziyun said affirmatively.
"Miss Zhao, you can tell me about your conditions. Gu Fan said lightly, as long as it was not particularly excessive, he would definitely agree.
Zhao Ziyun took a sip of tea, "Naturally, it's not a harsh condition, just need Gu Gongzi to participate in the name of the Denghai Chamber of Commerce." ”
Gu Fan frowned, competing in the name of the Denghai Chamber of Commerce, then he would be determined to be someone from Zhao Ziyun's side, and it was very likely to threaten his safety.
"I know that Zhao Jian is not your opponent at all, so our Denghai Chamber of Commerce must find someone stronger, I know a little bit about Lu Sheng's strength, Gu Gongzi can easily win against him. Zhao Ziyun said. "And in the end, the prizes for the first place will all belong to Gu Gongzi, and we will not take it at all, and we will also give Gu Gongzi 100,000 gold coins as a reward after the matter is completed. ”
Gu Fan was a little puzzled, "Just for a number one name?"
Zhao Ziyun smiled, "This is naturally not. After speaking, he stood up and walked to the window, looked at the sky outside and said, "We have an agreement with the Lu family, whoever wins the first place in this Qingyun Sect selection will have control of Fallen Leaf City for the next five years. ”
A strong aura erupted, this was not the breath of the realm, but the innate aura of the superior.
As the child of the head of the Zhao family, although she is a woman, she has shown strong business leadership since she was a child, but due to the recent weakening of her father's strength, several elders actually have the idea of seizing the control of the Denghai Chamber of Commerce, and want to snatch the inheritance on the grounds that she is not a man and cannot lead the Denghai Chamber of Commerce.
"If I participate as the Denghai Chamber of Commerce, our safety will ...... after the end" Gu Fan had to think about this, and it was very likely that the people of the Lu family would do something to him later.
"Rest assured, we'll keep both of you safe. Zhao Ziyun said with certainty, "And as long as I can gain control of Fallen Leaf City this time, some people in the family will also be used by me, and it will not be a problem to destroy the Lu family at that time." Zhao Ziyun's tone was still domineering.
Gu Fan thought about it for a while, and suddenly said, "Okay, then do what Miss Zhao said." ”
The old man in the jade pendant was also moved to tears, although outsiders said that Lu Sheng's strength was the same as that of Zhao Jian, but a martial artist and a martial artist, is it really the same? This time Gu Fan participated in the competition completely for himself, and it was worth it to have such an apprentice.
"Okay, Ziyun really didn't look away at Gu Gongzi. Hearing Gu Fan's agreement, Zhao Ziyun said to the outside of the door: "Prepare for Gu Gongzi immediately." ”
"Yes. Steward Liu's voice came from outside the door.
The rest of the time, Gu Fan listened to Zhao Ziyun talk about the rules and precautions of the game again, except for the non-use of secret medicine, there are no restrictions on weapons. The time of the competition will be in the morning five days later, and the venue will be the martial arts arena in Fallen Leaf City.
It wasn't until it was dark that Gu Fan was ready to take Qi Yue away.
"Miss Zhao, since that's the case, then we'll leave first. Gu Fan arched his hand and said.
"Hey, wait, this friend next to you, aren't you going to take off your mask and let me get to know him?" Zhao Ziyun said to Qi Yue, who was wearing a mask.
"There's no need. Qi Yue only replied with three words.
Although Zhao Ziyun had long seen that the masked person must be a woman, this heavenly voice made her a little intoxicated, listening to the voice was definitely a beauty, but why was she wearing a mask?
Zhao Ziyun didn't ask any more questions, and said to Gu Fan: "Then see you in five days." ”
Steward Liu came out and left with the two of them. After walking out of the door of the Denghai Chamber of Commerce, he pointed to a restaurant not far away and said, "Miss has booked a room for the two of you, and this restaurant will be responsible for the daily meals, and I won't send you over if I have other things." ”
Gu Fan nodded, this Zhao Ziyun arranged it quite carefully, and took care of the food and accommodation. After saying goodbye slightly, Gu Fan and the others walked towards the restaurant.
"Gu Fangongzi, please come here. As soon as the two entered the restaurant, Xiao Er took the initiative to say. led the two of them to a luxurious room.
At the same time, the news that Gu Fan participated in the selection of the Qingyun Sect as the escort of Zhao Ziyun of the Lantern Sea Chamber of Commerce also spread in Falling Leaf City, and people were full of expectations for this person who defeated Zhao Jian with one blow.
"Do you really want to participate in the competition?" Qi Yue asked.
Gu Fan nodded, "It's good to enter the Qingyun Sect to cultivate, and see what the sect is like." ”
Qi Yue didn't speak, and acquiesced to Gu Fan's plan, but she always had a bad feeling, and she kept lingering.
"It's good to go and see it, different sects can learn differently. Yue Lao's voice came, he was confident that he would teach Gu Fan well, but this did not conflict with Gu Fan entering the sect to study. Learning from each other's strengths is the right way to practice.
Gu Fan leaned in front of the window, looked at the bustling crowd in the twilight, and entered a meditative state. Seeing Gu Fan like this, Qi Yue also sat cross-legged and cultivated.
"Boy, hand over the gold coins!" The sudden voice from the alley under the restaurant pulled Gu Fan back from his meditative state to reality, even the bright appearance of the Fallen Leaf City had a dark side.
Gu Fan looked down and saw that it was a few thugs surrounding a little boy.
"I don't have any money, I really don't have any money. The little boy clutched the corners of his clothes, and even though he was punched and kicked by the thugs, he didn't let go.
"Our patience is limited. The thug said viciously, punching the little boy in the stomach.
Burst!
How could a child who was only eight or nine years old resist being beaten and spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Give it or not!" the thug picked up a brick from the ground, ready to hit the little boy in the head.
Gu Fan hurriedly jumped down, and if he didn't stop it, he was afraid that the little boy would really be beaten to death.
"What kind of ability is it to bully children!" Gu Fan grabbed the arm of the person who took the brick in the gangster with his right hand and twisted it vigorously.
Click.
It's the sound of bones breaking.
"Ah!" the little gangster screamed in pain, his arm was broken by Gu Fan, and the rest of the gangsters saw that Gu Fan was a ruthless person, so they hurriedly took the injured one to the hospital.
"Little brother, what's your name?" Gu Fan looked at the trembling little boy and asked.
"Iron... Iron Peak. The little boy said weakly. "Thank you, brother. "Although he is small, he can distinguish between good and bad people, and the big brother in front of him helped him drive away the people who bullied him, so he must be a good person.
Iron? That's a rare name. Gu Fan thought to himself.
"Then where is your home, my brother will send you back. Gu Fan said to Tie Feng and let him go back by himself, and Gu Fan was not at ease in his heart.
"I haven't bought the steamed buns that my grandfather asked me to buy. The little boy whispered that he came out because his grandfather asked him to buy steamed buns, and now he has encountered this kind of thing before he buys steamed buns.
Gu Fan went directly back to the restaurant and asked Xiao Er to load a few good dishes and a few steamed buns, and said to Tie Feng with a smile: "You can go now." ”
Judging by his dress, the conditions at home should not be very good, Gu Fan was also moved by compassion, so he did this, which could also save him a little money.
"It's the blacksmith shop on the west side of the city, where my house is. Tie Feng pointed into the distance and said. Houses on the outskirts of the city are cheap, and they have no money to live there.
"Your grandfather is a weapon maker?" Gu Fan asked in surprise, he was about to find someone to reforge the weapon, this was just in time, I don't know if Tie Feng and his grandfather have this ability.
Tie Feng nodded, it had been a long time since anyone had come to his grandfather to make weapons, so the family could only eat steamed buns and pickles for a while.
"Let's go, brother will take you home. Gu Fan pulled Tie Feng and walked towards the west of the city.
