Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Old Man!
The Great Elder and the others for the Lan family walked into the hall of the main mansion and sat down in their respective positions. (M_)
Looking up at the head of the family sitting on the main seat, the Great Elder said lightly, "Is the elders' meeting advanced?" Why didn't anyone notify me? ”
"Great Elder, we didn't have a meeting." One of the elders present replied, giving the Grand Elder a look by the way.
"Oh! Why are they so together? Also, hasn't Second Master Lan been locked up by me? Who let him out? The Great Elder's tone was obviously a little displeased.
"The second master ran out by himself." Another elder spoke.
"It seems that from tomorrow onwards, we have to put a few guards at the door of the second master, and the people who are locked up can actually come and go at will, so what will others think of our Lan family!" The Great Elder nodded cautiously.
"Daddy, you hear me! The Great Elder actually wants to lock me up! When Lan Fei heard this, he immediately said loudly, looking at his father expectantly, hoping that he would be able to make decisions for himself.
However, the head of the Lan family didn't know when he closed his eyes, and the old god was sitting motionless, as if he was asleep, and his reaction was really intriguing!
"Didn't the second master see the head of the house sleeping?" The Great Elder stroked his eyelids lightly and said in a light tone.
"I..."Lan Fei was speechless, from the time he heard that the Great Elder had returned, he had a premonition in his heart!
"The second master left his room without permission, is there anything important?" The Great Elder asked in a swishing voice, his tone was so flat, as if he was asking someone else if they had eaten.
"I... I'm here to report to my father. Lan Fei stammered a little, he was actually very nervous in his heart, and in front of the Great Elder, Lan Ning'er was also afraid.
"You've been locked up, do you have any work to report? I didn't know that the second master was so dedicated? The Great Elder said with a slight mockery.
"Hehe, Great Elder, the second master and the fifth sister are here to sue you." One of the elders spoke with some schadenfreude.
As soon as the elder's words fell, Lan Fei and Lan Ning'er's hearts chuckled, and they were half cold! Although they knew that they couldn't hide the complaint from the Great Elder, they didn't expect it to be exposed in person!
"That's it! Then you and us, how did our second master do me! The Great Elder asked calmly, the expression on his face was not filled with joy or anger!
"Second master, you shield the people who are against the Lan family, ruin the reputation of the Lan family, ignore the authority of the head of the family, and humiliate him, the son of the head of the family! As for the fifth sister! Then you never put her in your eyes, you make trouble for her everywhere, and you are also in the company of Leng Ruoxue and others, by the way, our fifth sister looks down on those Dan masters, thinking that their status is too low and they don't deserve the preferential treatment of the Lan family! A certain elder relayed Lan Fei and Lan Ning'er's words to the Great Elder word for word.
After hearing this, the Great Elder only frowned slightly, and then spoke: "It seems that in the minds of the second master, father and daughter, I am really a great crime!" However, I still have something to report to the second master, the trouble caused by the fifth sister has caused a huge loss to our Lan family, so in order to appease those Dan masters who are leaving, I have promised to pay them if they participate in the exchange of medicinal materials, 500,000 purple gold coins per person per day. ”
"What? Our Lan family won't pay for this, they love to participate or not, hum! Dare to go against our Lan family, I really don't want to live! Lan Fei yelled a little angrily.
"Second Master, are you sure it's okay if they don't participate?" The Great Elder squinted his eyes and asked in a slightly cold tone.
"This... This..."Lan Fei stuttered again.
"Great Elder, if the medicinal herb exchange meeting does not have a Dan Master to participate, it will be a great disadvantage to our Lan family! However, I would like to know, who will pay for the half a million per person per day? Another elder asked.
"The mess was caused by the second grandfather's father and daughter, of course this money has to be paid by their father and daughter." The Great Elder said with a smile.
"Why?" When Lan Fei and Lan Ning'er heard this, they immediately exploded, how could they have so much money! One person costs 500,000 a day, but what about at least 100 people?
"Just because the Great Elder is wiping your buttocks and leaving those Dan Masters, otherwise, our Lan family's medicinal herb exchange meeting will not be able to continue." The Great Elder glanced at Lan Fei's father and daughter, and said very displeasedly.
"Those Dan masters are not important big names, even if they don't participate, what can they do?" Lan Ning'er said disappreciatively, in her heart, the representatives of the Danshi of the various Danshi branches are not very important, after all, the highest level of those people is only the alchemy master, she looks down on those people at all, and the higher-level Danshi are all gathered in the Danshi Association, but the higher the status of the Danshi, it is impossible for the Danshi to arrive so early, so those who arrive early are all irrelevant Danshi, uh! At least that's what she thinks.
"Hehe, I don't know what kind of Danshi is an important big man in the eyes of the fifth sister?" The Great Elder is really curious, what is the fifth sister's head made of? Why is it different from what others think? You must know that all the Dan masters who can receive the invitation of the Lan family and come to participate in the exchange meeting are all alchemy masters with the lowest rank, and those alchemy masters are very potential, and their future prospects are limitless, but their fifth sister actually looks down on those people!
"Of course, you have to be like my future master, as well as those Dan masters above the alchemy grandmaster level of the Dan Master Association, they should be the big people we value." Lan Ning'er said proudly, her beautiful face was full of descurity!
"Fifth Sister thinks that just a few alchemy masters can afford our Lan family's medicinal material exchange meeting?" The Great Elder asked rhetorically.
"Of course, with their help, the reputation of our Lan Family's medicinal herb exchange meeting can be even louder, and besides, His Excellency Du Min is also coming to participate in this medicinal herb exchange meeting, so it really doesn't matter if those insignificant Danshi ginseng don't participate." Lan Ning'er said confidently, hum! After she worships Du Min as a teacher, she has to trample all these people under her feet, who makes them always go against her!
"Fifth sister, can you tell me how many alchemy masters there will always be in Xuanshi? Will all these people come? Even if they come, will they let a few of them exchange medicinal herbs with each other? The Great Elder glanced at Lan Ning'er, and said in his heart, what a brainless fool, if there are only so many people in the medicinal herb exchange meeting, then what is the point of this so-called largest Danshi gathering in the Hao Great Continent!
"It's... Even if there are fewer Dan masters who come to the meeting this time, what does it matter, anyway, His Excellency Du Min will come, he is more important than any Dan Master, and when I become His Excellency Du Min's apprentice, our Lan family has a relationship with him, and those Dan masters have to take the initiative to slap us? Lan Ning'er said disapprerovingly.
"Fifth sister is so sure that His Excellency Du Min will accept you as an apprentice?" The Great Elder asked a little incredulously, he really didn't know where Lan Ning'er's self-confidence came from, His Excellency Du Min didn't seem to have made it clear, he would take the fifth sister as an apprentice, right?
"Of course, I am an alchemy genius who is rare to see in Haotian Continent for a hundred years, if you don't accept me as an apprentice, it will definitely be a loss for Your Excellency Du Min." Lan Ning'er said confidently, her proud tail was about to rise to the sky!
For Lan Ning'er's strong self-confidence, the Great Elder really didn't know what to do, His Excellency Du Min obviously just thought about it, but she thought that this was a matter of certainty, and she was still hyping it up, making everyone know about it, hum! If His Excellency Du Min Zuihou doesn't accept her as an apprentice, see how she ends up then!
"Fifth sister, Your Excellency Du Min is one of the most respected human beings in the Haotian Continent, why don't I think that if I don't accept you as an apprentice, it will be a loss for Your Excellency Du Min?" The third elder said without being salty, with a touch of mockery in his shrewd eyes, hum! If it weren't for the face of the head of the family, he would have heard it even harder.
"I'm an alchemy genius, and I'm already an alchemist before I am twenty years old." Lan Ning'er emphasized that this is the thing she is most proud of.
"An alchemy genius like you is not unheard of in the Haotian Continent, if everyone is accepted by His Excellency Du Min, then most of the Dan masters will not become his apprentices?" The Third Elder chuckled.
"How can those people compare with me, I am the most favored fifth sister of the Lan family!" Lan Ning'er couldn't help but roar angrily.
"Do you think His Excellency Du Min will accept you as an apprentice because of your identity?" The Third Elder asked a little ridiculously.
"That..."Lan Ning'er was about to retort, but was interrupted by a majestic voice.
"Okay, don't argue, everything will be done according to the Great Elder!" Lan Tao, the head of the Lan family, who was closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, spoke, and when he was finished, he stood up directly from the main seat and left the hall.
"Come on, bring the second master and the fifth sister back to the room, none of them are allowed to step out of the room half a step without my order, in addition, from today onwards, the monthly money of the second master and the fifth sister will be deducted to pay the remuneration of those Dan masters, until the second master and the fifth sister pay off all the purple gold coins owed to the Lan family." The Great Elder commanded.
"You can't do that, I'm the most favored fifth sister of the Lan family! Grandpa won't allow you to do that! After Lan Ning'er heard the words of the Great Elder, she yelled a little hysterically.
"Didn't the fifth sister hear the words of the head of the family just now?" The Great Elder asked with a frown.
"I..."
"Don't hurry up and take them down." The Great Elder didn't want to give Lan Ning'er any chance to say anything, so he urged directly.
"Yes!" After the guards received the order, they took Lan Fei's father and daughter back to the room half-escorted.
"The Great Elder..."
"Does the Second Elder have anything to say?" The Great Elder glanced at the Second Elder and asked softly.
"Ugh! No. The Second Elder was about to open his mouth to intercede for Lan Fei's father and daughter, but after the Great Elder's eyes swept him lightly, he didn't dare to speak, in the Council of Elders, the authority of the Great Elder was unshakeable.
"Since everyone has no opinion, let's step back!" The Great Elder drove people away.
"Great Elder, the remuneration of those Dan masters can be paid as soon as possible." Before leaving the hall, the three elders reminded.
"Well, I'll send someone to send it to them in a while, first use the money from the public middle school to advance, and then the second grandfather and daughter are slowly paying it back." The Great Elder nodded.
After hearing the words of the Great Elder, the other elders couldn't help but mourn for Lan Fei's father and daughter for a few minutes in their hearts, alas! What a pity! Because of this incident, the pocket money of the father and daughter was all gone.
After the elders left the hall, the great elder came directly to the study of the head of the family, Lan Tao, knocked on the door first, and then walked in.
"Here we are." Lan Tao, who was sitting on the chair, said lightly.
"Here we are." The Great Elder sat down opposite the head of the family, and replied with two words like gold.
"Is he okay?" Lan Tao twitched his eyelids lightly, as if he didn't care too much and asked.
"It's too good to be true." The Great Elder answered all questions.
"Damn, can't you just say a few more words?" Lan Tao was a little angry, and he was so angry that he was about to explode.
"Don't you know everything, you still need me." The Great Elder said angrily, hum! I obviously miss my grandson, but I still have endless trouble looking for my grandson, and the way they get along with their grandchildren is really strange!
"I just want you, how to drop?" Lan Tao yelled a little childishly.
"I don't." The Great Elder's temper also came up.
"You... Lan Hong! I'm your big brother, do you want to be angry with me! Lan Tao yelled with some jealousy, at this time he looked like a child who couldn't get candy to eat, where was there still a little bit of demeanor as the head of the Lan family!
"So what?" Great Elder Lan Hong said disapprerovingly, he didn't even bother to raise his eyelids, anyway, he knew that Lan Tao wouldn't do anything else except yell at him!
"You... Stay away from my grandson! Lan Tao roared jealously, that was his precious grandson! However, as long as he hugged him from the beginning, the stinky man cried endlessly, and never gave him a good face as a grandfather, but he always laughed at others, alas! As long as he thought of this, the sour water in his heart kept bubbling out!
"That's my grandson, too! If it weren't for me, would you have this grandson? The Great Elder said without giving an inch.
"You..." Lan Tao was a little angry, he knew that he was a little stubborn back then, but didn't he compromise? Why are these people still holding grudges so much! Especially that stinky one! Woo...
"Big brother, you can't be jealous of such a thing as family affection." Great Elder Lan Hong was a little angry.
"Woo... You return my grandson, mother! Your son has been bullied! "Lan Tao saw that it was so hard that he had to switch to a soft one!
"Big brother, our mother has been dead for many years." The Great Elder had several black lines hanging on his forehead, reminding, alas! Big brother, this scoundrel is coming up, he really has no problem! However, if Leng Ruoxue saw this scene, she would definitely know that the Lan family's Lai Pi was originally hereditary.
"So what?" Lan Tao shouted disapprovingly with tears in his eyes.
"Big brother, it's useless for you to be jealous of me! That stinky man doesn't like to go back to home now. Lan Hong spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and said a little helplessly.
"Is Leng Ruoxue and the others so attractive?" Lan Tao asked with some jealousy, his good grandson! Woo... Now I'm with people all day long, and besides, I call a dog a brother, hum! Since he liked dogs so much, he asked people to find him a few good ones, lest the stinky man not even find the door.
"I guess so! That girl is very interesting, and she is not afraid of our Lan family at all, I can see that Lie'er is very happy with them, by the way, Ming'er is also with them! "The Great Elder said, in fact, these things have long been known to the head of the family, and even, every move of Leng Ruoxue and the others is also in the hands of the head of the family, however, the head of the family has not taken any action, and moreover, people have hidden all this, otherwise, Lan Fei would not have been so passive!
"Really? Looks like I'll have to meet the girl sometime. Lan Tao thought for a while.
"Then you have to be prepared, that girl is not easy to deal with, she has sharp teeth!" Lan Hong reminded.
"Then I'll have to go and see the dog that hooked my grandson." Lan Tao has decided.
Listening to the words of the head of the family, the corners of Lan Hong's mouth twitched, heart, looking at that dog is your real purpose!
At this time, Bingqi, who was pretending to sleep in the inn, didn't know that he had been remembered by a jealous old man.
In the inn.
Leng Ruoxue and the others were gathering in the room to discuss things, Bingqi was sleeping on the bed, and Lan Lie was half-lying on the side of the bed, watching it sleep, and touching the fluff on Bingqi's body from time to time.
"Go away! Don't disturb my sleep. Bingqi, who was lying on the bed, closed his eyes and shook his ears in displeasure, and roared softly.
"Bingbing, you've been sleeping for almost a day, why are you still sleeping! Don't sleep, get up and play with me! Let's go play frisbee. Lan Lie said with great interest, if he remembers correctly, it seems that the dog's favorite luck is to catch the frisbee, hehe!
"Nima's Frisbee!" As soon as he heard the frisbee, Bingqi was angry, grandpa's, it's not a dog, what kind of frisbee is it!
"You don't like frisbees? So let's go play with balls of yarn? Lan Lie asked a little off-line, he felt that all felines and canines should like this kind of sport! It's just that Bingbing is too lazy!
"your ball of yarn!" Ice Qi is even hotter, Nima! It's not a cat, it's playing with balls of yarn! Yes! It wants to bite!
“haha!” Leng Ruoxue, who was not far from them, couldn't help but laugh after hearing their conversation.
"Xue Xue, you get rid of this idiot, I'm going to be angry with him." Bingqi jumped directly into Leng Ruoxue's arms, and said a little unbearable.
"Woo... Bingbing, I like you so much, how can you dislike me! Lan Lie complained, with tears in his eyes, very aggrieved! Why didn't Mao Bingbing let him hug him? He really wants to hug him!
"I don't like you! Don't pester me all the time! Two drops of cold sweat dripped from Bingqi's forehead, and he couldn't stand it, woo... It is also male, so except for its owner, he really can't accept other male animals being so affectionate to it.
“haha! Don't be bickering, Lan Lie, it's getting late, shouldn't you go home? Leng Ruoxue said very implicitly, if it is white, it is about to drive people away.
"Xuexue, you dislike me too." Lan Lie said pitifully.
"Nonsense, don't you dislike you, don't you still like you!" The demon on the side said in a cold tone, who called Lan Lie's words made him very unhappy! Do you dislike me too? Cher never liked you in the first place, okay?
"Hurry up and get out of here! We're going to rest. The demon added.
"Ugh! It's not too early, let's go back! "Leng Invincible came out to play the round.
"Alright! Bingbing, I'm coming to see you tomorrow! Lan Lie said with some reluctance, and then left with Leng Wushu and the others.
After Lan Lie and the others left, Leng Ruoxue glanced at Leng Qingtian and the others, and said, "Grandpa, let's take turns to go to the exchange meeting this half month!" ”
"Good!" Leng Qingtian and the others agreed.
"Let's all have a good rest, and tomorrow I will go with the demon first." Leng Ruoxue said, she had already divided everyone into five groups, two people in each group, and took turns to exchange meetings and guard the stalls.
Everyone nodded, and went back to their rooms.
The next morning, Leng Ruoxue and the demon came to the exchange meeting.
In the scene, although there are quite a lot of Dan masters, everyone is chatting in groups of three or five, and there are not many Dan masters who are really exchanged, and this is mainly because their medicinal materials have basically been exchanged...
Ten days later.
It's Leng Ruoxue's turn to come to the medicinal herb exchange meeting to guard the stall.
Inside the venue.
"Demon, there seem to be some new faces today." Leng Ruoxue leaned on the arms of the demon, glanced at the venue casually, and said lightly.
"Well, it is estimated that the people from the Danshi Association have arrived, and they are the latest to arrive at every exchange meeting." The demon replied that the Danshi of the Danshi Association had a relatively high level and status, so naturally they would not come to the exchange venue early like other Danshi, so they were always late, but in the past, even if they came late, they would be the biggest winners of the exchange meeting, but this time it was not good.
While the two were chatting, a tall, handsome middle-aged man in his fifties walked towards their stall.
"Is this the herb you want to exchange? It seems to be quite ordinary. The middle-aged man squatted down and said a little critically.
"Yes! We're poor! Leng Ruoxue replied lightly, in fact, her medicinal materials have basically been replaced, so now the stalls are just some ordinary medicinal materials, and not only her, in fact, most of the Dan masters are like this, they are just making up the numbers now.
The corner of the middle-aged man's mouth twitched, and he said in his abdomen, you are still poor! You are poor!
"Where's your dog? I heard you have a very powerful dog? The middle-aged man said curiously, and looked around, but he didn't find a single dog hair.
"Sleep!" Leng Ruoxue teased her eyelids and said softly, but she was vigilant in her heart, this man didn't look like he was here to change medicinal herbs at all, what did he ask Bingqi to do?
"Let me see the dog! I'm curious. The middle-aged man gritted his teeth.
"I'm sorry, Bingqi doesn't see outsiders." Leng Ruoxue didn't think about it, so she refused, this man is really strange, does he have a grudge against Bingqi?
"I don't care, I have to see you." The middle-aged man was a little unreasonable.
"Nope." Leng Ruoxue was amused by him, it's really funny, who does this person think he is!
"If you don't let me see that dog, I'll stay here." The middle-aged man was a little tricky.
"Whatever you want, demon, let's go!" Leng Ruoxue said a little funny, how can she meet any kind of superlative!
"Okay." The demon responded, and the two stood up, simply packed their things, and left the exchange site.
Walking on the streets of Blue Cloud City, the demon looked back at the middle-aged man who had been following them, frowned slightly, and said with some displeasure: "Xue'er, that person is still following us!" ”
"It's okay, we're going to the inn." Leng Ruoxue said disapprerovingly, although she didn't know what the purpose of that man had to see Bingqi, but her intuition told her that there should be no great malice in that person.
As soon as Leng Ruoxue and the demon walked to the door of the inn, they found that the door of the inn was full of people, and the onlookers were still talking...
"What's wrong?" The demon and Leng Ruoxue looked at each other, both a little puzzled.
"I can't see it! This man seems to be very loyal, how can he kill someone! ”
"This is a disgraceful person!"
"Yes, yes! As a Dan Master, he killed someone, that's really fatal! ”
Hearing everyone's discussion, Leng Ruoxue and the demon shook aside the crowd and walked directly into the inn.
At this time, in the lobby of the inn, Zheng En was confronting a man about thirty years old with oily hair and a powdery face...
I saw that the man was arrogant and looking at Zheng En with a slightly provocative face, and Zheng En didn't say a word, but the handsome face that was flushed red and the trembling body showed his anger at the moment...
"Zheng En, I didn't expect you to be alive! I thought you couldn't think about committing suicide! The man said with some schadenfreude, and his slightly feminine face was full of smugness.
"Sun Wei, you haven't died yet, how could I be willing to die!" Zheng En endured his hatred and said, he knew that he was not capable of dealing with Sun Wei now, and besides, he couldn't make trouble for his sister! Therefore, in the face of Sun Wei's humiliation, he chose to be patient, anyway, the sister is over, the gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, after so many years of waiting, is it still a few days?
"Haha, do you think you're going to be my opponent? You lost to me fifteen years ago, and you can't beat me now! Sun Wei said confidently, with his current identity and status, if he wanted to kill Zheng En, it would be easy, but he would not let Zheng En die easily, who made Zheng En the most jealous person in the past! Moreover, the feeling of cat and mouse is the most haode, so he has to play Zheng En to death slowly, so it will be enjoyable!
"Really?" At this time, Leng Ruoxue's voice sounded faintly in the lobby.
"Who are you?" Sun Wei looked at Leng Ruoxue with some displeasure, and said in his heart, where did the ugly monster come from, it's best not to care about his nossiness, otherwise, he will definitely make this ugly monster regret it!
