Chapter 23 Responsibility
The Xiao family's mansion is located in the south of Yeyue City, and the huge mansion is surrounded by a small bamboo forest, with a long river between the bamboo forests, and a quiet small lake outside the bamboo forest.
In Night Moon City, the Xiao family's residence is also a unique beauty.
Being able to have such a spacious place to live is due to Xiao Han's father's status as a soul refiner, as well as the cultivation of a martial artist who is not inferior to the city lord.
This is the foundation of the Xiao family, more important than the Ice Flame Forest, even if Xiao Han is poor and destitute, he will not give up this place, not before, and not now.
"This house is really suitable for health!"
Looking at the beautiful mansion in front of him, Xiao Han's eyes were full of joy. In his previous life, he lived in a cheap rental house, but now, he has an independent house that is more spacious and beautiful than a villa.
Xiao Han pushed the door in, and the antique layout made Xiao Han feel very unique.
The courtyard is very wide, in the past, there were many servants coming and going, now, Xiao Han walked far away and did not see a single figure, although there were fewer servants, but the surroundings were clean and clean, as before, it was not obsolete and deserted because of the fall of the Xiao family.
Xiao Han went straight to the inner courtyard to find a girl named Qing Aya.
"Young Master, you're back!"
As soon as he stepped into the inner courtyard, Xiao Han saw an old figure.
The old man was gray-haired and emaciated, and he was wiping the doors and windows, and when he saw Xiao Han coming, he smiled kindly.
"Fu Bo, you have worked hard, you have been cultivating outside for the past few days, and you have been delayed for some time, and you have not had time to pay your monthly money. Now, you take the money and distribute it to everyone. ”
Xiao Han stepped forward, took out a storage bag and handed it to Fu Bo.
The servants who stay in the Xiao family now are all lonely old men in Yeyue City, helpless. Some of them were children who died in the soul beast riot, and some were ordinary people who had no children and no grandchildren, who were frail and sickly and lacked care.
"There's no need to send this month's monthly money, Miss Qing Aya has already sent it to us."
"Really? Where did Aya get the money? ”
Xiao Han was surprised.
All along, it was Xiao Han who made money for Qing Aya and let her manage the trivial affairs of the family, while Xiao Han concentrated on cultivation.
"Miss Qing Aya saw that the young master hadn't come home for so long, and that we were in urgent need of money, so she went to the Yanmu Chamber of Commerce to help. I came back with some monthly advances and sent it to us. ”
"Oh, that's right. So where is Aya now? Is it still in the Yanmu Chamber of Commerce? ”
Xiao Han asked.
"There is a large-scale auction event in the Chamber of Commerce today, Qing Aya went out early in the morning, and now it's noon, so she should be back soon, she came back at this time a few days ago, probably too busy!"
"Okay, got it, I'll take a look." Xiao Han said, stuffing the storage bag into Fu Bo's hand, "Fu Bo, in the past few years, you have worked hard enough, you give this money to everyone, it will be regarded as a subsidy for everyone, and in the future, I will send three times the monthly money to everyone every month, so that everyone can live a better life." ”
"Young master, you don't have to worry too much about us old guys, just enough to eat and wear, you can use the money for cultivation!"
"It's okay, you can take it, this money won't be of much use to my cultivation." After Xiao Han stuffed the storage bag to Fu Bo, he walked out quickly, "Fu Bo, I'll go first, and everyone will work hard at home!" ”
"Young Master! Master! ……”
Fu Bo hurriedly shouted a few times, but Xiao Han disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"Lao Fu, is the young master back?"
Several old people heard Fubo's shout and walked over.
"Well, the young master came back just now and gave everyone some subsidies." Fu Bo said, with a warmth in his eyes, "Today's young master, I feel a little different, it seems that I have more words than usual, and I am much more confident." ”
As he spoke, he opened the storage bag and prepared to hand it out to the others.
"This ...... This ......"
When they looked at the piles of gold coins in the storage bags, their eyes showed an incredible look.
"That's a lot of gold!"
"Yes, at least hundreds of thousands of gold coins!"
"Did the young master take the wrong storage bag!"
……
Fu Bo and the others kept guessing, but in the end they didn't divide the money, and they had to wait for Xiao Han to come back and figure it out. It was also very beneficial for these gold coins to buy cultivation pills, and they didn't want to delay Xiao Han's progress.
At this moment, Xiao Han strode towards the Yanmu Chamber of Commerce, hoping to see Qing Aya as soon as possible.
Over the years, people's attitude towards the Xiao family has not been very friendly, and Xiao Han asked Qing Aya to go out less for fear of being bullied outside.
Qing Aya was brought back from outside by Xiao Han's mother when Xiao Han was two years old, and she was one year younger than Xiao Han.
Although he is not a brother and sister, Xiao Han has always treated Qing Aya as a sister and takes care of her. In a place like the Yanmu Chamber of Commerce, there are a lot of fish and dragons, Xiao Han is worried that Qing Aya will not be able to cope with it, and he doesn't want her to go to that kind of occasion, and besides, Qing Aya has a strange illness, which is even more inconvenient.
The Yanmu Chamber of Commerce in Night Moon City, to be exact, is only the ninth branch of the Yanmu Chamber of Commerce.
The Yanmu Chamber of Commerce, in Night Moon City, even the Zhenlan Empire, and even the entire Northern Soul Continent, is well known, and its name is extremely loud, and it belongs to the gold-level forces of the Northern Soul Continent.
There are many branches of the Yanmu Chamber of Commerce in various parts of the Northern Soul Continent, because unknown soul beasts have appeared in the mountains around Night Moon City, and there are great business opportunities. Therefore, the Yanmu Chamber of Commerce established a branch, the Ninth Branch, in Night Moon City.
This ninth branch is not the ninth branch established by the Yanmu Chamber of Commerce, but the ninth branch in the power of the Yanmu Chamber of Commerce.
After the soul beast riot six years ago, countless magical soul beasts were left behind in the soul domain around Night Moon City. Over the years, the Ninth Branch has become more and more well-known, because the Ninth Branch often has rare treasures auctioned.
The Yanmu Chamber of Commerce does not just hold auctions, they have their own mercenary team, they have their own soul refiners, not only auction goods for others, acquire various items, but also discover and create auction items by themselves, there are some on the market, there are in the Yanmu Chamber of Commerce, there are not on the market, and there may be some in the Yanmu Chamber of Commerce. This is also one of the reasons why the Yanmu Chamber of Commerce has endured for a long time.
When Xiao Han came to the Yanmu Chamber of Commerce, he saw the surging crowd coming out of the Chamber of Commerce one after another.
These people are all powerful families and forces in Nightmoon City, as well as the towns near Nightmoon City, and there are also many sects and sect figures.
"This Yanmu Chamber of Commerce is too good at torturing people, the finale treasure will not be taken out until the evening!"
"It's like this every time, get used to it."
"Hehe, you don't understand, it's better to bid at night!"
"Yes, the auction can't be auctioned, the moon is high and the wind is dark, it's easy to do it!"
……
Xiao Han stood on the side, looked carefully, and did not see Qing Aya's figure in the crowd.
"I guess I'm still busy! Wait and ask someone from the Yanmu Chamber of Commerce. ”
Xiao Han leaned against a willow tree next to the Yanmu Chamber of Commerce, and glanced at the people who came out casually from time to time.
Most of these people Xiao Han had never seen in his memory, and his predecessor was suffering from cultivation and did not like to interact with people, let alone contact with these characters. I just remember that some of them had contact with Xiao Han's father.
Although Xiao Han didn't remember them very much, many of these people remembered Xiao Han. When passing by Xiao Han, he would take a look at Xiao Han, and then talk in a low voice.
"Sister, look, it's Brother Han!"
Two gorgeously dressed shadows walked towards Xiao Han head-on.
The eleven or twelve-year-old girl in a pink dress, after seeing Xiao Han, pointed at Xiao Han, and then said to a girl in blue next to her with an excited expression.
The girl in blue was fifteen or sixteen years old, with a white jade face and a beautiful appearance, although she was not very old, she had already developed quite well.
They are the two precious daughters of the city lord, the wind and the moon and the wind and the snow.
Feng Yiyue looked at Xiao Han, as if she wanted to walk over and talk to Xiao Han.
"Let's go, Yiyue, my father is waiting for us."
Feng Qingxue pulled Feng Yiyue, and didn't seem to want to say hello to Xiao Han.
"Sister, I don't understand, in the past, we used to like to play with Brother Han and Sister Aya, why are we ...... now?"
"You know what, hurry up."
Feng Qingxue interrupted her sister's words and pulled her sister away quickly.
Xiao Han didn't care too much about this.
When he was young, Xiao Han was extremely talented and received everyone's attention, and many girls admired Xiao Han very much. Because Xiao Han's father had a good relationship with the city lord and the branch president of the Yanmu Chamber of Commerce, Xiao Han, Qing Aya, Yan Wei'er, and Feng Qingxue sisters often played together and practiced together when they were young.
However, the relationship between the several of them has undergone some changes after Xiao Han was determined that the martial soul fluctuations disappeared.
Maybe Feng Qingxue thinks that he is the pearl of the city lord's palm, and he has a storm martial soul and an unlimited future, so he alienated Xiao Han, who did not have the fluctuation of the martial soul, and even said that he would draw a line with Xiao Han and not associate with Xiao Han.
Xiao Han knows very well that whether it is the previous life or this life, the reality is cruel.
Not everyone is willing to put aside reality and get involved with a waste with no future.
"Butler, may I ask, is my sister still inside?"
Xiao Han walked to the door of the Chamber of Commerce and asked Mu Teng, who was in charge of recycling items.
"Qing Aya has already left through the back door, saying that she wants to buy something in the west of the city."
Mu Teng is no stranger to Xiao Han, although the Xiao family is not as good as back then, but the eldest lady of their branch, Yan Wei'er, is still very close to Xiao Han, and often gives Xiao Han the cultivation pill given to her by the president, and also makes Mu Teng give Xiao Han a higher price for recovering Xiao Han's items, and also give the lowest price for selling Xiao Han's things.
Although Mu Teng didn't like Xiao Han very much, he didn't dare to do anything openly.
"Thank you, Butler."
Xiao Han thanked him.
Xiao Han was about to leave, and the wooden butler suddenly said: "When Qing Aya left, the young master of the Qin family seemed to have followed him out, looking like that, you should want to pay attention to Qing Aya, you should hurry up and take a look!" ”
"Qin River!"
When Xiao Han heard this, he was immediately a little anxious, and there was anger in his eyes.
This Qin River is not a good thing at all, greedy and lustful, relying on the fact that he is the only son of the Qin family, he has a little power in the city, and he does evil, I don't know how many girls in the city have ruined their innocence.
Xiao Han rushed to the west of the city.
Although Qing Aya and today's Xiao Han can be said to have no relationship, their predecessors are inextricably linked to themselves, with the same name and surname, and their appearance is exactly the same.
The responsibility of the predecessor will also be borne by Xiao Han now.
Xiao Han not only has to go his own way, but also walks and lives for the original Xiao Han.
Maybe it's because the two souls are fused, Xiao Han at this time can feel that sense of responsibility.
Xiao Han, who has no relatives and friends, suddenly has this kind of feeling, and he wants to protect and cherish it.
If that bastard young master of the Qin family dared to touch Qing Aya, Xiao Han swore that even if he was an enemy of the entire Qin family, he would definitely be disabled!
