Facing the blade that slashed at him, Zongtian raised his fist. However, such an action was naturally not that he wanted to try to fight the sharp metal with his fist, but that the small object that Xiao Jiu gave him was being lifted by him.

Zongtian's seemingly big action also made the other party stunned, and on the slightly white fist, a small black object was also conspicuous.

However, Zongtian's actions did stop the gatekeeper. Although there was still some disdain, the man still carefully looked at the object in Zongtian's hand. It seemed to be a small wood carving, and the black wood did not know whether it was its true color or had been burned by fire, and the carver did not dare to compliment it.

Although ......it was just such an inconspicuous little thing, the janitor frowned, because he had a little impression of the inconspicuous little object, but where had he seen it?

"That's the Ninth Master's stuff, right?" Just when the gatekeeper was still stunned, one of the crowd who had been watching the play next to him stood up.

Although Zongtian had never heard such a title, that nine had already explained all the problems, and such words could be regarded as a wake-up call to the janitor.

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" It's just that after the sudden realization, the man's expression is still a little impatient, and then he just drove Zongtian into the city at will.

It seems that Xiao Jiu does have some identity in this Lingzhu City, but what Zong Tian doesn't understand is the somewhat rude attitude of the gatekeeper, is Xiao Jiu's identity as the master of the black market only have this value?

At this time, Zongtian would think like this, naturally not because of the attitude itself, but because of the logic that does not conform to common sense. However, there seems to be more than one strange situation encountered at the city gate, when Zongtian intended to bribe before, not only the number of soul stones was a little amazing, but he also concealed the soul stones extremely secretly, but even if Zongtian had done this, why would that gatekeeper still do such a thing? Is it true that I just met a strange person?

Just as he was thinking, he didn't notice that someone was already standing in front of him. But the man just stood politely, as if he would have been waiting in place if he had been distracted.

Probably because of that dangerous posture, Zong Tian was unaware of it, until he thought of a few answers, Zong Tian came back to his senses with some unfinished thoughts.

Looking at the person standing in front of him, Zong Tian couldn't help but be surprised, but that somewhat familiar look made him change his expression to a smile.

"You're the one who helped me at the gates, aren't you?" After all, it was something that had just happened, and although it was only a hurried glance, Zongtian still recognized who the person in front of him was.

"I can't talk about it, I'm just telling the truth."

The person who said this was a middle-aged man with a handsome face, although the years had already drawn some traces on his face, but those traces only made this man more mature and elegant.

"A lot of times, it's a great thing to be able to tell the truth." Although the man said what he had done so easily, Zongtian's gratitude was still the same.

"I don't deny that." The man smiled a little, "But the situation just now didn't matter. ”

Looking at the other party's humble attitude, Zong Tian naturally didn't want to be polite all the time, and the person in front of him was still a normal performance, which also made Zong Tian feel a little relieved. Although that person was somewhat polite, sure enough, the gatekeeper just now was a strange person in Pearl City.

"I wonder if there's something wrong with the gentleman?" The man before looked like he was waiting quietly, and Zongtian naturally didn't believe that he was just here to be polite to him.

"It's nothing, I'm just going to entertain you."

Looking at the more and more kind smile on that person's face, Zong Tian also guessed that the relationship between this person and Xiao Jiu was probably extraordinary. However, when you go out, you still need to defend against people, after all, Zongtian at this time can be regarded as a treasure.

"You don't have to worry about it." As if he saw a slight change in Zongtian's expression, the man said in a hurry, "I am not talented, and now it can barely be regarded as the black market in charge of Lingzhu City." ”

Such words naturally made Zongtian understand everything, and the escrow naturally explained that this person's identity was not low, and it was precisely in this way that he could contact Xiao Jiu, and it was only natural that the wood carving was recognized by him. At the same time, such words can be regarded as explaining the somewhat excessive politeness.

"So, we're still our own people?" Zongtian's words were somewhat tentative, but the man twitched slightly, but the corners of his mouth made Zongtian only feel inexplicable.

"My own people, yes, yes, are all nine ......"

With a strange expression, the man's words were also a little confused, but such a strange reaction made Zongtian even more sure that what he said should not be a lie. After all, if what was just now was a lie, then the performance at this time was a little too off-line, and what liar would play some strange things when this situation is good?

However, although the identity of that person was confirmed, his behavior just now was still inexplicable, and Zongtian was not in a hurry about the secret in it, and Zongtian only asked a sentence at this time.

"After talking for so long, I left the most important question behind, and I haven't asked your name yet." Such a change in the topic can be regarded as alleviating the embarrassment.

"Kay." And the man also politely reported his name.

"Heaven." Such a reply is also a matter of course, but the middle-aged man named Kaixuan was still a little unnatural after hearing this name. If it weren't for the fact that it was because of that little wood carving just now, the two of them would have gotten acquainted, and Zongtian would definitely feel that he was notorious because of something.

After reporting to his home, Kaixuan walked directly into Lingzhu City with Zongtian, and after a period of confusion, Zongtian also came to a remote courtyard. Although the appearance of this place is a little unsightly, but when you really walk in, Zongtian finds that there is a hidden mystery here. Not only is the furnishings of the house elegant, but there are also many people here who look fierce and evil, and they all cast unkind eyes at Zongtian.

"Presumptuous!" In the face of those people, Kaixuan seemed to have a completely changed face, and such words also made the person react, and the stranger in front of him came in with their immediate boss.

"Remember this face, he is the ninth master...... People, anyway, are the guests here. Although Zongtian could still endure it before, in the face of that strange expression, Zongtian really had a feeling of scratching his ears and cheeks. And this feeling is still a bit more and more intense, because when some people inadvertently saw the wood carving hanging from their waists, they couldn't help but shiver after showing a sudden expression.

"Please." After teaching his subordinates, Kai Xuan also adjusted his smile, and with his gestures, Zongtian was also led by him to a secluded place.

This is the middle of the whole building, and such a good location not only makes the room feel peaceful, but also has a small courtyard sprinkled with sunlight, as if everything here has a simple but not simple feeling.

Such an environment naturally satisfied Zongtian, but in the face of Kai Xuan, who was about to withdraw, Zongtian hurriedly stopped him.

"Do you have any other orders?"

"It's not a command." Since he wants to ask a question, Zongtian also intends to make their relationship simpler, "Can you not use honorifics?" ”

Such an order was indeed something that Kai Xuan did not expect, but the request itself was not difficult.

"If you wish so." It can be regarded as a certainty, and such words also made Zongtian nod.

"Uncle Kai, can I ask a question." After that kind of affectionate title, Zongtian finally asked his doubts, "What does this mean?" ”

"You don't know?" Looking at the wood carving in Zongtian's hand, Kaixuan seemed to be very surprised.

"I don't know, can you tell me?"

Although in Zongtian's view, it is nothing more than a special token, but that kind of special is what he cares about.

Questions like "this ......" seemed to really stump Kai Zhou, and looking at the other party's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Zong Tian's mood became even more impatient.

"Well, it's not a secret." It seems that those kind words from before also played a role, and Kai Zhou seemed to have made a lot of determination at this time.

Although it was not a secret, Kaixuan also went to the door to look around, and then he properly closed all the doors and windows.

"This wood carving ......" just said the beginning, and Kai Zhou lowered his voice a little more, "This wood carving was originally brought back by the Ninth Master, and because of its strange appearance, people often ask why he brought such a thing." ”

Strange is definitely a nice statement, if it weren't for Xiao Jiu's special advice, Zongtian really didn't want to hang it on his waist.

And for such a question, Jiu Ye always said jokingly that he just brought something he made with his own hands...... So that I can give it to my sweetheart. ”

"What !!" Hearing this, Zongtian directly ripped off the wood carving on his waist, and then threw him to the farthest corner of the room.
