In the dimly lit underground chamber was a huge pool of water, and several servants were running back and forth, carrying all sorts of jars filled with liquids to add liquid to the pool.

The green liquid in the pool churned incessantly, and the corpses of various poisonous insects appeared and disappeared in the liquid. Twenty or thirty elite men stood in the pool, as the liquid tumbled, the meridians protruding on their bodies, and their expressions became extremely painful and distorted when the hideous meridians appeared.

Xiao Jinghuan, Xiao Ning, and a person wrapped in a black robe walked out of the compartment of the secret room.

Xiao Jinghuan saluted respectfully to the black-robed man and said, "Yi Lao, everything is up to you." ”

The black-robed man said: "Okay, what I promised you, I will naturally do it." Inevitably, Xiao Jingtai is suspicious, don't come over to disturb me during this time. ”

Xiao Jinghuan nodded in response.

Subsequently, Xiao Jinghuan led Xiao Ning out of the secret room.

Coming out of the chamber, they took a carriage and headed for the Elephant City.

In the carriage, Xiao Jinghuan said: "I took out five ore veins and three medicine gardens, Xiao Jingtai will definitely be suspicious, so from today onwards, I will focus all my energy on Jun'er." ”

Xiao Ning said: "Dad, I really don't understand, since they will be suspicious when they take out so many resources, why do we take them out? Isn't this lifting a stone to shoot ourselves in the foot?"

Xiao Jinghuan said: "Do you think that if I don't take it out, they will let Jun'er go? Although it is a little loss, it can stop their mouths." What is lost, it is regained. If Yi Lao's side succeeds, we can get back no matter how much we lose. Besides, are these resources so easy to receive?"

Xiao Ning gritted his teeth and said, "That being said, but with so much loss, I get angry when I think about it." It's all Xiao Feng's little brute. If it weren't for him, how would we have lost so much? I wish we had someone to kill him now. ”

Xiao Jinghuan said: "He will leave it to Jun'er to solve it." But speaking of which, how did he become so slippery? If it wasn't for the people under my hands to report it before, I hurriedly rushed to Xiao Jingtai's side, Jun'er would really suffer. ”

Xiao Ning said: "Isn't it?"

Xiao Jinghuan said: "Find a few people to follow him, I want to know his words and deeds." ”

The carriage traveled outside the city and stopped at the foot of a hill. Xiao Jinghuan and Xiao Ning walked into the mountain, and returned to the courtyard of the mansion through the hidden tunnel.

In Xiao Feng's courtyard, Chunxiang brought toiletries for Xiao Feng early in the morning.

Chunxiang waited for Xiao Feng's washing with a tray, and while waiting, she said, "Young master, the head of the family came early this morning, saying that you should go to him after you get up." ”

Xiao Feng washed his face, took the dry towel from Chunxiang's hand and wiped it a few times, then threw the towel on the tray, and then he asked with some curiosity: "You came to pass the word so early?"

Chunxiang said: "But isn't it? As soon as my wife and I got up, someone came." ”

Xiao Feng nodded and said, "Okay, I know, I'll go over after breakfast later." ”

Chunxiang said: "Then I'll go and bring it over early." ”

With that, Haruka packed up her toiletries and turned to leave.

Xiao Feng stopped her, took out five gold cards from his arms and handed them over: "Xiao Xiang'er, you have put away these gold cards, take the time to redeem my mother's gold hairpin, and give the rest to my mother." ”

"Wow!" Haruka took the gold card and said with a twinkle in her eyes, "It's the first time I've seen the gold card." ”

Xiao Feng smiled and said, "Okay, let's go." ”

"Oh!" Haruka replied, turning and leaving the room.

After eating breakfast, Xiao Feng went straight to Xiao Jingtai's courtyard. He hadn't been here for a long time, and he felt a lot of emotion about the scenery around him along the way.

After a while, he came to the outside of Xiao Jingtai's study.

After the message, he walked into Xiao Jingtai's study, and the face in his memory appeared in front of him again. He stared at the old man sitting in front of the bookcase, watched him flip through the letters that came from below, and just stood there waiting.

After a while, Xiao Jingtai put down the letter in his hand, looked up at Xiao Feng, and said with a sigh: "Alas, I haven't seen you for a few years, and I have become rusty." I remember when you came here, there wasn't such a rule. ”

Memories surfaced in Xiao Feng's mind, and the scene of coquettishness and complaining flashed in his mind.

Xiao Feng said: "I've grown up, and I'm no longer the kid who blindly hides behind others." ”

Xiao Jingtai said: "Others, your words are very resentful." ”

Xiao Feng took a deep breath and said, "Family Master, didn't you ask me to come over to say this, if you have anything to say, or if you have any orders, just say it." ”

Xiao Jingtai said: "Child, you... Alas..."

When the words came to his lips and swallowed back, he adjusted his mood and said, "Yesterday I received five ore veins and three medicine gardens, didn't you let the next person spread the word that you would share half of the benefits?

Xiao Feng didn't even think about it, and directly refused: "I'm not interested!"

Xiao Jingtai said: "Then what do you want?"

Xiao Feng thought for a while and said, "Fourth-order flying knives, armor." ”

Xiao Jingtai looked at Xiao Feng suspiciously, and said, "Flying knives? This kind of weapon is rare, and you still need a fourth-order one." Even if there were, it wouldn't be as ubiquitous as the cabbage in the market. ”

Xiao Feng said: "Of course I know that there are less, otherwise I will find it myself." ”

Xiao Jingtai said: "Okay, I'll think of a way for you." Anything else?"

Xiao Feng said: "I want to go to the Family Battle Skill Hall to have a look." ”

Xiao Jingtai said: "The Battle Skill Hall is temporarily closed for some special reasons, you can go back in two months." I'll let you know when the time comes. ”

Xiao Feng said: "That's okay." If nothing else, I'll go back first. ”

Xiao Jingtai said: "Let's stay for a meal at noon." ”

Xiao Feng shook his head and said, "Forget it, I still have to cultivate." ”

Xiao Jingtai said: "You... Alas, well, you go back first. ”

Xiao Feng saluted respectfully, turned around and left the study.

After Xiao Feng left, Xiao Jingtai let out a long sigh, his face was a little tired, and he suddenly said to the guards on the side: "Thirteen, did I do something wrong, this kid is getting farther and farther away from me now." ”

Xiao 13 said: "Old man, he will understand your hard work one day." But old man, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not?"

Xiao Jingtai said: "Say it!"

Xiao Shisan said: "The young master's temperament has completely changed after being attacked this time, and his way of doing things has also changed. If you use the previous methods to protect him, it is no longer suitable. ”

Xiao Jingtai sighed and said: "Alas, I naturally know that if he is still as indisputable as before, avoiding and retreating, it is naturally as far away from the whirlpool as possible." But now he's changed, and that's why I met him. ”

Xiao 13 said: "It's me who said too much." ”
