Chapter 137: Talking about business
"I wonder if you've heard enough?"
When Wan Shiwen was about to be "invited" out, Wan Jiangtao, the patriarch of the Wan family, looked at a corner outside the door with a cold look in his eyes, and said in an unkind tone.
Hearing the patriarch's words, all the elders looked surprised, and then immediately reacted and stood up one after another.
"Who's there?"
"Haha, the patriarch of all clans has such a keen perception!"
As he spoke, a person covered in a black robe walked out from outside the door, and a little girl with a delicate face stood next to him, followed by two old men in black with serious expressions.
At the moment when the black-robed man appeared, Wan Shiwen, who was unwilling to be dragged back to the room by her father, quieted down, staring directly at the black-robed man, unable to see anything in her eyes, obviously, she had recognized the black-robed man.
This black-robed man is Xiao Yan, and standing next to him is Tong Zheng!
Feeling the naked eyes coming from behind, Tong Zheng smiled and stuck to Xiao Yan's side, holding Xiao Yan's arm with both arms, like all jealous little girls, silently swearing sovereignty with actions.
Then he twisted his hand on Xiao Yan's waist fiercely, and a voice came from between his teeth that only two people could hear, "What is your relationship with that woman?" Go back and recruit me from the truth! ”
Xiao Yan felt a pain in his waist, and was about to reply, when he heard a loud voice from the front.
"Your Excellency's name? I wonder what you have to say when you come to the Humble House? ”
Wan Jiangtao asked politely, showing the bearing that a patriarch should have to the fullest, if it was placed in normal times, he would definitely not speak so politely.
Because from Wan Shiwen's eyes, he had roughly guessed who this person was.
However, the reason why he was still so polite was to highlight his hospitality, and on the other hand, he felt that the little girl standing next to the black-robed man who seemed harmless to humans and beasts, and the identities of the two old men behind him were not simple.
This little girl is either too powerful, so powerful that he can't even see through it, or the background is too powerful, and she carries a treasure that can isolate all exploration, no matter which one it is, it is worth treating him with caution.
Not to mention the two seemingly amiable old men behind him, who exuded the aura of "don't approach the living", and their eyes were so bright that people didn't dare to look at them directly.
Xiao Yan stretched out his hand and lifted the black robe, revealing his true appearance hidden under the black robe, seeing the true appearance of the black-robed man, the few elders sitting there couldn't sit still.
"You...... You! ”
"You...... It's you! Are you Xiao Yan? ”
"How dare you come?"
"Xiao Yan! Since you are here today, then don't think about leaving, come here, tie him up for me, and send ...... to the three major families. ”
Speaking of the three major families, everyone immediately shut up and thought, "Shouldn't this kid fight with the people of those three families in the square?" How did it end up here? Didn't anyone from the three families catch him? Or is his strength ......! ”
Everyone looks at me, I look at yours, they all hope to get the answer from each other's eyes, I hope it is not what they guessed, but except for Wan Jiangtao's calm eyes, the rest of the people have the same doubts in their eyes.
"In Xia Xiaoyan, I came here this time to do a business with the patriarch of Wan."
"Business? What business? Wan Jiangtao asked curiously, he thought that Xiao Yan wanted to ask for his help, but he didn't expect Xiao Yan to talk about business with one mouth.
"I want to talk to the head of the house alone."
When Wan Jiangtao heard that he was going to talk alone, his heart suddenly hung up, and then he thought that this was on his own territory, surrounded by his own people, forgive Xiao Yan He didn't dare to play any tricks, and waved his hand, "You all go down!" ”
Although the elders and Wan Shiwen were reluctant, the patriarch's order did not dare to disobey, so they all had to go down, and Tong Zheng and the others also exited the room at Xiao Yan's signal and stayed at the door of the room in case Xiao Yan had any accidents.
"Now you can say it!"
Wan Jiangtao also paid attention to the behavior of Tong Zheng and others, although he was very reluctant in his heart, but he didn't want to say anything, Wanjia was already an eventful time now, and he didn't want to have more trouble.
"Senior, you should be the most aware of the situation in Wanjia now, right? Although the other three families will not deal with you head-on for the time being, after this incident, the reputation of the Wan family has been discredited, and who else dares to cooperate with you again? In the long run, Wanjia will be swallowed up by other families. ”
Xiao Yan's words hit the nail on the head, it can be said that every sentence spoke to Wan Jiangtao's heart, this is exactly what he has been worried about recently, otherwise there is no way, how can he give up his baby daughter Wan Shiwen to seek the peace of the family? How could he have thought of going down this road?
"Hehe, this doesn't worry about Xiao Yan Shaoxia, besides, all of this is not thanks to you!"
Old fox!
This is Xiao Yan's first reaction after hearing this, from Wan Jiangtao's flashing eyes, Xiao Yan has already seen his true intentions, saying this, on the one hand, in order to raise his value, he is afraid that he will wait for the lion to open his mouth, on the other hand, it is not for the ethereal face! If it weren't for Wan Shiwen, Xiao Yan wouldn't care if your family was dead or alive!
"If I say that I don't know anything about all this, and that I am being calculated, will you believe me?"
Xiao Yan's words put Wan Jiangtao to death, do you believe it? If you answer the letter, you will bow your head first, but if you don't believe it, what if he can really save ten thousand families? Didn't you push Wanjia to the edge of the cliff again? This Xiao Yan is really not an ordinary person, just this sophistication is enough to impress.
Believe or don't believe?
Wan Jiangtao took a sip of tea, and after a moment of silence, he smiled slightly, "If you want me to believe it, you have to come up with a reason for me to believe it, right?" ”
Anti-general! This trick is wonderful, and it holds the initiative in your own hands, if you have a good reason, why not believe you?
"Haha, I'll let you see!"
Xiao Yan smiled mysteriously, and then said, "I heard that the priest conference is about to start?" ”
Taoist conference? What did Xiao Yan mean by suddenly saying this boundless sentence? Wan Jiangtao was puzzled, so he had to go on.
"Yes, on the first day of the first lunar month, there is still nearly half a year to go."
Half a year, although the time is not too long, but it is quite reluctant, Xiao Yan continued to ask: "I don't know which Taoist priest was recommended by the Wan family this time?" ”
Speaking of this, Wan Jiangtao was furious, originally there were a few Keqing Taoist priests in their Wanjia, but as soon as this incident came out, no one was willing to go in the name of Wanjia, and in the end, they were all poached.
"Nope!" Wan Jiangtao said discouragedly.
Every Taoist conference, is the major forces desperately to attract talents, if any force can discern the pearl, when he is still unknown, when he is shining, it is the day when this force raises its eyebrows.
The Taoist Conference is not only a competition between various Taoist priests, but also a competition between various forces.
Originally, I wanted to rely on this Taoist conference to make the Wan family rank first among the four major families in one fell swoop, but this is good, alas!
"Shall I recommend someone to you?" Xiao Yan said, looking at Wan Jiangtao's face, things may be much simpler than he thought.
"Who?" Wan Jiangtao raised his eyelids, looked sideways at Xiao Yan next to him, and suddenly thought of something, "You're not talking about yourself, are you?" ”
"It's down there!"
"What are you kidding?" When Wan Jiangtao heard Xiao Yan's words, he felt that this person was really crazy, "As far as I know, although you are from the Yunding Sect, you are not in the two halls, besides, the Yunding Sect is just a small third-rate force, even if you are from their inner disciple, the strength is not high!" Why do you convince me that you have the strength to represent our family? ”
"Huh!" Xiao Yan smiled coldly, "Do you have any other choice?" ”
As soon as Xiao Yan's words came out, Wan Jiangtao was stunned, yes, does he have any other choice? Either there is no one, or he reports this person he is not optimistic about, compared with the two, this choice is not difficult to make.
"You just need to report my name, and in the future, you will know my intentions, of course, you can't use my real name."
"How do I know if you're not harming my family again?" Wan Jiangtao asked cautiously.
"What reason do I have to harm you? Besides, Miss Shiwen is kind to me, I will not harm my benefactor, otherwise, I would not have risked my life to save her a few days ago, and I would not be here today! ”
Xiao Yan clearly told Wan Jiangtao when he said this, don't get an inch, I cooperate with you, not to get anything from your family, but for Wan Shiwen, in order to repay the favor, don't know what to do.
"That'...... Which project will you apply for and what name will you use? ”
Hearing this, Xiao Yan knew that Wan Jiangtao still compromised, because he had no way out now, and if he didn't cooperate, he would die, cooperate, and there was still a glimmer of life.
"Instrument Daoist, Rock Owl!"
