Chapter 186
When it came to Qi Xiao's introduction, Ye Zi had to be surprised, and she didn't hide this emotion at all, so she revealed it so bluntly.
"Senior Jiang." She saluted the other party seriously.
Although he couldn't see through his cultivation, Ye Zi could feel that the aura on his body was more profound and restrained than Qi Xiao, but it was too far away from the Flower Sacrifice, and it should be the middle to late stage of Jindan.
The cultivation realm respects strength, no matter what the other party is here to do, she will not let it fall into the handle of the etiquette that should be done.
Jiang Yu waved his hand with a smile and motioned for Ye Zi to sit down, "Ye Gaozu doesn't need to be polite, although my cultivation is higher than you, but your status is not low, you don't need seniors to come and go, just call me Jiang Daoyou." ”
"Don't dare." Ye Zi sat back in his chair and responded politely.
Ye Tao and several Ye family elders didn't squeak, Qi Xiao looked around, and asked curiously, "Why don't you see the Ye family master?" ”
"He's in charge of the mines." It was Ye Tao who answered.
Ye Zi groaned, since she came back a year ago and now, Ye Yujin hasn't shown up for so long, it is estimated that something happened. But seeing that Ye Tao and the others are not half anxious, there should be no big problem.
When Qi Xiao heard this, he didn't interrogate any further, but slowly said what he meant.
"Jiang Array Master came here this time to repair the Sifang City Protector Array, and everyone here should know that the pillars of the Fortress Protector Array are partially damaged due to age and cannot be activated. Last time, the two Yuan Infant Cultivators fought the method, but because the city protection array could not be activated, half of the eastern city was destroyed, and I, the city lord, was also reprimanded by the Tianji Gate for this. Of course, these are all trivial matters, as we all know, the once-in-a-century beast tide is not far away, we must take precautions, among which the restoration of this protective array is the top priority. What does Ye Laozu think? ”
After speaking, Qi Xiao's eyes looked at the Ye family with an intriguing smile.
Seeing this, Ye Zi chuckled in his heart. suddenly understood the intention of Qi Xiao and the others.
Qi Xiao said so deeply that Ye Tao and the others couldn't pretend to be deaf, so they had to respond: "The city lord is right, for the restoration of the city protection array. The Ye family is extremely supportive. ”
"That's good." Qi Xiao smiled meaningfully, and looked at Ye Zi again, "Presumably Ye Gaozu has no objections?" ”
Ye Zi said loudly: "Don't dare." The great array of city protection is related to the safety of all living beings in the entire city, how dare the younger generation have objections. ”
"That's good, hehe......"
Qi Xiao smiled like an old fox. Continued: "In the past two days, the Jiang Array Master has already inspected, and there are a total of one hundred and twenty-eight pillars in the entire Great Array of Protectors, of which thirteen have been damaged, and it is necessary to re-find materials to make new pillars. The Great Array of the Protector of the Sifang City is the Great Five Elements Qiankun Array, and the refining of the array pillars uses ninety-seven kinds of rare materials, and now if you want to rematch, this is not to mention the difficulty, and it requires the support of a huge spirit stone. Taxes in Sifang City have always been low, and over the years, the inventory and income of the City Lord's Mansion have basically been used to maintain guards and other expenses. There is no surplus at all. So ......"
Qi Xiao didn't explain the words, but who here still couldn't understand, that was really an idiot!
As Qi Xiao's words fell, the entire council hall suddenly fell silent. Ye Tao didn't dare or wanted to answer, and Jiang Zhenfa and the others had no position and room to speak.
There was silence for a while.
Ye Zi looked at the faces of Ye Tao and the others, and responded with some helplessness: "Although the Ye family has a meager background, it is a matter of righteousness and goodness to repair the Great Array of Protective Arrays, and my Ye family is willing to provide free support for 20,000 spirit stones." ”
Regarding Ye Zi's proposal, Ye Tao and several clan elders did not react, but breathed a sigh of relief. Today, the Ye family's annual income has reached hundreds of thousands of spirit stones. It's not hard to come up with 20,000.
When Qi Xiao heard Ye Zi's words, he couldn't help but show a funny look, and if he looked closely, he could find that there was ridicule in his smile.
"Ye Gaozu is kind. It's impressive. However, did you know that the refining of one array pillar requires 150,000 spirit stones. ”
Ye Zi's heart suddenly burst out, one array pillar needs 150,000 spirit stones, and thirteen roots don't need 2 million?
Ye Tao and the others also widened their eyes and looked at Qi Xiao incredulously.
Ye Zi's smile was almost imperceptible with mockery, and he cried poorly: "It's really expensive." It's a pity that the entire Ye family smashed pots and sold iron, and they couldn't come up with two pillars! Although the Ye family now holds the ore vein, the expenses are also getting bigger and bigger, and it will be the opening of the Baiyun Immortal Mansion soon, and the entire Ye family is making sufficient preparations for the disciple to return safely, city lord, you see ......"
Qi Xiao said with a smile: "Ye Gaozu is really too modest, now in the entire Sifang City, who doesn't know that the Ye family has long been out of poverty?" The large amount of white fruits in Ye Gaozu's hands alone is an astonishing fortune. ”
Ye Zi's smile gradually faded, and there was a touch of coldness on his lips, "Compared with the Tong family and the Wang family, this little bit of resources on my body is still a world of difference." I'm just lucky, Tong and Wang are both century-old families, how can I compare with that heritage and strength? ”
Jiang Yu, who had been silent, kept his eyes lingering on Ye Zi and Qi Xiao, as if he understood something, but he didn't seem to understand.
Hearing Ye Zi's self-respecting but tough tone, Qi Xiao's face immediately did not look good.
Although Ye Zi's identity is the ancestor of the Ye family, he is actually just a Qi refining cultivator. And he Qi Xiao is a genuine city lord, and his cultivation has reached the middle stage of Jindan, and he was actually suppressed by a little qi refining cultivator?
Immediately, his eyes revealed a hint of coercion, and he rushed towards the leaves. When Ye Zi showed his anger in the eyes of the other party, he had already communicated with the black jade pendant.
Ye Tao and the others' faces changed drastically, Huo Ran got up, but it was too late to stop Qi Xiao's movements.
The coercion shot out of Qi Xiao's eyes was at least thirty percent, he originally wanted to teach Ye Zi a lesson, but something surprising happened.
After his coercion was absorbed by the leaves, he turned invisible.
Ye Zi's face didn't even change, she smiled at Ye Tao and the others, "Ancestor, what's wrong?" Sit down. ”
The horror and panic on the faces of Ye Tao and the others all turned into surprise and incredulity at this time. Everyone in the hall, including Jiang Yu, looked at Ye Zi and Qi Xiao one after another.
Everyone thinks about this person, could it be that the Qi City Lord just made a false move just now, which is scary?
Except for Ye Zi and Qi Xiao himself, no one could guess what had just happened.
Qi Xiao's face has changed from ruthless to jealous, and more suspicious, his eyes are constantly flickering, and his face is not very good-looking.
Ye Zi smiled lightly: "City Lord Qi frightened me just now, fortunately you just scared me, otherwise, I don't know what the situation is now!" ”
When these words fell into the ears of the others, they all thought that Qi Xiao was a false move just now, and he didn't really make a move.
But when it fell in Qi Xiao's ears, it was a warning and reminder, as if Ye Zi was showing that he had his own support and was not afraid of him. If he really dares to do it, he will bear the consequences.
Qi Xiao suddenly remembered the disaster three years ago, and remembered the Yuanying power behind Ye Zi. Xiang Yifeng has not been heard from since he left last time, and now that Ye Zi has the power of Yuanying by his side, he does not dare to move.
But he had already thought about the plan to repair the city protection array a year ago, and he had no way out of this matter at all, otherwise the position of the city lord would definitely not be guaranteed.
Qi Xiao suppressed all kinds of suspicions in his heart and resumed his usual smile, "I was distracted for a moment just now, and I almost hurt Ye Gaozu by making an unintentional mistake, I'm sorry." ”
"Well said." Ye Zi nodded with a smile.
The leaves were so bright, with three points of arrogance, and seven points of ostentatious smile that Qi Xiao almost gritted his teeth. He reluctantly maintained the dignity and smile of the city lord, and said, "The lack of resources is something that cannot be avoided in the entire cultivation realm, and I can understand the difficulties of the various families. But the moat can't help but repair. Therefore, all the participating and quota cultivation families who participated in the Baiyun Immortal Mansion Cultivation this time needed to pay 100,000 spirit stones to assist in the restoration of the Great Array.
