Shui Chengxing, who was sitting in the elder's seat, looked unfazed, in the past few months, he mobilized Xuanshui Wei to block all the news in the city, and what he wanted was the result in front of him.

After Ge Chengtai got up and asked, some elders of Xuanshui Palace finally stopped being silent: "Sect Master, please come up with an idea, otherwise it will inevitably make everyone feel cold." ”

"This ......" Shui Chengxuan felt that Yao Bingyi's body next to him was trembling slightly, and hurriedly reached over and patted her arm a few times to comfort her: "There will be no good results in starting a war, the only priority is to submit to the requirements of the Sea Devil......"

"Water Sect Master, the Sea Demon can let ships pass back and forth, what about us who still rely on the sea for food?"

"The ship price is doubled, and the things brought in are not enough, how long can we support it?"

"Two thousand immortal crystals a year is not a small amount, if there is no other business support in the city, wouldn't it be empty?"

"Water Sect Master, you can't patronize your own business, who are we going to go to for our losses?"

"If you take the money, you have to take care of things, if you can't do it, you will return all the immortal crystals we have collected over the years, we will think of it ourselves. ”

There was a big chaos in the hall, Shui Chengxuan held Yao Bingyi's palm and responded calmly: "Don't worry, everyone, Chengxuan will definitely satisfy everyone......"

"How can you not be in a hurry? It just so happens that everyone is here, please say it now, Sect Master of Water. After today, we don't know when we'll see you......"

Finding that the situation was starting to get out of control, Uncle Zhong and dozens of guard commanders were secretly accumulating strength, waiting for orders to prepare to step forward and drive everyone away. Mr. Du's eyes were also fixed on Shui Chengxuan, but he never received any instructions from him.

With the strength of Xuanshui Palace, it was of course easy to drive these people out, but Shui Chengxuan couldn't help but consider the serious consequences caused by this. What's more, these people came to congratulate in the name of celebration, and if they turned their faces on the spot, they would embarrass Shui Ling'er.

"Everyone, please be quiet, after all, this is Miss Ling'er's birthday celebration, can we wait and talk about business?" Wen Dengrong stood up and smiled warmly at the people below: "Presumably, everyone can still trust the blue sky, as long as we can work together with Uncle Shui, everything will be easy to do." ”

"There are difficulties in Xuanshui Palace, and those of us who are juniors naturally have to share the worries of Uncle Shui. But until then, we are all looking forward to an outcome. Please be a witness, let Miss Ling'er make a choice first, and then we will discuss other matters. ”

His words seem to be mediation, but in fact, they are pressing step by step, and it is clear that he is taking the opportunity to coerce. Some people in the hall immediately chimed in: "Okay, let's wait, please ask the young palace master to choose a husband first." ”

The faces of the rest of the sons are not good-looking, Wen Dengrong is noisy and preemptive, and he uses these families in the palace to create a huge momentum, it seems that Shui Ling'er can only settle the dispute by choosing him at this time.

On the elder seat, Shui Siguang slowly stood up: "Sect Master, if you can use some external forces at this time, it will be beneficial and harmless to my Xuanshui lineage." These juniors come from thousands of miles every year, and it is not good for them to be disappointed again and again. ”

Shui Chengxuan sighed slightly in his heart, but when he saw Yao Bingyi's pleading eyes next to him, he couldn't say anything to make Shui Ling'er comply. At this moment, a loud voice sounded in the hall: "Young Master Wen, why do I think you are taking advantage of people's danger?"

"It's just a trivial matter of business, but you are involved in Ling'er's life, and you obviously want to take advantage of the situation to suppress people, is it true that Tianwai Qingtian is usually such a leader of Wuxuan?"

These few provocative sarcasms are not only aimed at Wen Dengrong, but also accuse the heavens and the sky. Everyone in the hall fell silent, and Wen Dengrong's face was even more pale.

"Zhang Zhangzhao, what do you mean by this? How can the sky outside the sky allow you to make accusations so casually?" Wen Dengrong was furious and still did not forget to provoke: "A trivial matter in business? Do you mean that these seniors are making trouble unreasonably?"

Zhang Zhao smiled: "When the beast tide came, the people outside the sky didn't even see a shadow. If we follow what everyone just said, will we also get justice from Tianwai City?"

"You hide when you should be desperately bleeding, but you keep boasting about your strength at other people's birthday celebrations, Gongzi Wen, tell me, what is the reason?"

Except for Mr. Zhao and Tao Daochang, a few cultivators who were proficient in medical skills, no one in the palace knew who Zhang Zhao was. Seeing that even Wen Dengrong's identity was dumbfounded by him, the rest of the people didn't dare to make a rash noise.

A breath of depression was held in his chest and ached faintly, Wen Dengrong obviously knew that Zhang Zhao was taking the opportunity to relieve Shui Ling'er, but he couldn't answer the question he just asked, so he had to grit his teeth and shout: "Okay, since you said that Wen did something wrong, I will change you to think of an idea." ”

"What Wen Gongzi said just now, he must have already had a belly case, how can I mess up the order without distinguishing between them?" Zhang Zhao stretched out his hand and let him: "Could it be that Wen Gongzi is just talking nonsense? In fact, there is no good way?"

Wen Dengrong saw that he nailed himself and did not let go of his anger, and laughed back: "Okay, okay, in order to avoid falling into the truth, I will talk about it first." He turned to the direction of Shui Chengxuan: "What Uncle Shui said just now is reasonable, since the sea devil can't be provoked, he can only spend money to buy peace." ”

"Business in the city has not been good in the past few months, and you will naturally have to bear the losses, we will ...... You can make up a few thousand immortal crystals for you first, and then negotiate with all over Wuxuan to delay delivery, so that you don't have to worry. ”

"Xuanshui Palace does have too many businesses in various parts of the city, and the little nephew thinks that those businesses should be entrusted to everyone in the palace separately, as long as you hand in enough fairy crystals, you can make your own decisions, so as not to worry too much, Uncle Shui. ”

"Those businesses that are already in charge should also be improvised, and there is no need to report everything, if this is carried out, the matter will be solved......

"Hahaha......" Zhang Zhao looked at Wen Dengrong's side face and laughed: "Speaking of which, Wen Gongzi is still boasting, you colluded with some villains to seize the foundation of the Shui family, can we really not see it?"

No one expected him to speak so sparingly, Shui Chengxing and a group of elders turned their heads to look at each other, and the rest of the people in the hall exchanged their heads. Wen Dengrong was so angry that he shouted: "Zhang Zhangzhao, you are obviously making trouble ...... unreasonable"

"This young man is very naïve, and since you are so confident, we would like to hear your opinion. Seeing Shui Siguang staring at Zhang Zhao with blazing eyes and seemed to be angry, Shui Ling'er hurriedly dissuaded: "Zhang Zhangzhao, don't say anything more......"

While everyone was waiting to see how Zhang Zhao would end, a guard hurriedly ran to Mr. Du's side and whispered a few words, and Mr. Du hurriedly raised his head and shouted at Shui Chengxuan: "Sect Master, there are people outside who ask to see." ”

A beautiful woman in a gray fur coat appeared from the door of the hall, with her head held high, and slowly walked in under the stunned gaze of everyone, and bowed slightly towards the Shui Chengxuan couple in the hall with an elegant posture: "Sea Devil Cuckoo, I have seen the Water Sect Master. ”

"This ...... Don't be polite, please take a seat. Shui Chengxuan and Yao Bingyi both got up to return the salute, and everyone in the hall held their breath and did not squint, all wondering why this rumored mysterious figure came to Xuanshui Palace at this time.

"The Water Sect Master has misunderstood, the Cuckoo Cheng is trusted by the owner to be in charge of the sea ships, and he is not the real person in charge of the Sea Devil, so he really doesn't dare to claim to be the owner. The cuckoo looked at the hall with a calm expression: "This time, the cuckoo was entrusted by the owner to give a thin gift to the young palace master. ”

"Oh, why is your host so polite?" Shui Chengxuan and Yao Bingyi both looked at Shui Ling'er, and saw that she was also full of doubts: "Then Shui and his wife will thank your host for their kindness on behalf of the little girl." ”

"I heard that the young palace master loves jade treasures, and the owner asked the cuckoo to bring some casually, and asked the young palace master not to dislike it. The cuckoo smiled respectfully at Shui Ling'er: "The things have been placed outside the hall, and the young palace master will go back and take a closer look at them one by one." ”

"Fifty Treasures of Fine Jade...... "The people in the palace were amazed when they heard the number of stewards come in and report the number. The cuckoo sighed lightly: "Time is in a hurry, I can only get these, don't blame the young palace master." ”

In the almost stagnant atmosphere in the hall, only the voice of Du Juan was heard clearly: "The sea route is blocked, and our number is only allowed to pass through the relationship of the owner, in order not to affect the business of the young palace master's family, Du Juan brought two thousand sea demon flags, and there are enough people left on the dock to wait for dispatch." ”

"The two thousand Sea Demon Banners are assigned by the Director of the Water Sect, even if there are strong winds and waves at sea, the people and ships can be safe. The cuckoo turned to look at the people in the hall: "We will compensate for the losses suffered by the families in Xuanshui City during this time. ”

"The owner has issued an order, and in a month, our ships will continue to bring rice, grain, oil, and salt until they are enough to meet the needs in Xuanshui City. ”

"From now on, there will be no sea demons within a hundred miles of the area around Xuanshui City, and this distance should be enough for you to dig for pearl diving and jade fishing along the coast. ”

"If the Water Sect Master feels that there is anything missing, he can send someone over at any time, and the cuckoo will do it one by one according to the owner's instructions. Du Juan said and looked at Shui Ling'er with an apologetic expression: "It's all Du Juan's lack of consideration, this period has annoyed the young palace master, and I hope you can forgive me." ”

The hall was silent, and it was a long time before I heard Shui Ling'er reply softly: "Sister Cuckoo is polite, but Ling'er really doesn't understand, what is the purpose of your family sending me such a gift?"

"Those are just a sign of the owner's sincerity, not a gift. The cuckoo stood up and bowed to Shui Chengxuan and his wife: "The owner wants to use this sincerity to make a request to the Water Sect Master. ”

Shui Ling'er's face suddenly turned pale, and the owner of the Sea Devil, who had never met before, took out such a big gift that Xuanshui Palace couldn't refuse, and still named and gave it to himself, and his intention was obvious.

When her eyes swept to Zhang Zhao, she saw that he was grinning at herself, and she couldn't help but hate and scold in her heart: "It's really heartless, you can still laugh at this time." ”

Shui Chengxuan was silent for a long time, and finally followed Du Juan's words and asked: "May I ask what your owner wants?" Du Juan smiled slightly: "Our owner begs you not to force the young palace master, no matter who she wants to marry in the future, it will be determined by her own mood." ”

"Huh, what does that mean?" Everyone in the hall let out a burst of irrepressible whispers with doubts on their faces, and Shui Chengxuan also hesitated to ask again: "Your owner made this request?"

"Yes, the proprietor expects you to grant this request. The cuckoo turned to look at Shui Ling'er: "Because this request is the gift that the owner wants to give to the young palace master." ”

Although Shui Chengxuan couldn't guess why this mysterious proprietor took the initiative to come to show his goodwill, but the Sea Devil didn't make a lot of money with immortal crystals, but instead brought generous gifts to resolve the difficulties that Xuanshui Palace was currently facing, how could he question it at such a critical moment?

"Miss Cuckoo, your owner's request is really embarrassing for us, and with such a generous gift from him, Cheng Xuan naturally obeys his fate. After that, Shui Chengxuan smiled at his daughter: "Ling'er, from now on, your marriage will be up to you." ”

The hall was silent again, and the elders and merchants of the major families all honestly closed their mouths. They were all thinking about the ins and outs of the whole thing in their hearts, and no matter how they thought about it, they felt that this matter must have been arranged a long time ago.

If it weren't for the communication with Shui Chengxuan in advance, how could the owner of the Sea Devil send someone over at this juncture, and put forward such unbelievable conditions and requirements, just right to easily resolve the problems that everyone just raised.

"Sect Master, the Sea Demon Banner has already been numbered, exactly two thousand, what should you do with it?" Shui Chengxuan nodded at the cuckoo first, and then instructed several stewards in the hall: "Keep it carefully, and distribute it after the celebration." ”

Several attendants respectfully brought a table of wine and food to Du Juan, and saw her raise a glass and talk and laugh with Shui Chengxuan and his wife. The merchants in the hall who were still questioning just now felt very embarrassed, so they had to drink one by one and didn't dare to come forward to disturb.

"Sister Du Juan, Ling'er still doesn't understand, why did your family give me such a gift for no reason?" Du Juan's eyes swept towards everyone in the hall and retracted: "Why should the young palace master worry too much, you have no worries about food and clothing, and you have read all the treasures in the world, and this is the only thing that has not gone well recently." The proprietor only wants to give you back this freedom, and nothing else. ”

When Shui Ling'er was about to ask the name of the proprietor, a Xuanshui city manager rushed into the main hall with a face full of ecstasy: "Sect Master, it's true, it's true, those sea demons outside the city are all gone." ”

Everyone in the hall was immediately agitated, Tong Chenghai and Ge Chengtai glanced at each other and got up one after another to apologize: "Sect Master is wise, it turns out that you have already made arrangements. There were many rudeness of the junior disciples just now, and I hope that the sect master will forgive them. ”

"Don't blame yourself so much, you are all worried about the livelihood of Xuanshui Palace, it's not rude. Senior Brother Tong can now lead the flag to the sea, and Senior Brother Ge can also send people to dive pearls, so we have to put the rest of the people in the city at ease. ”

Tong Chenghai immediately laughed: "Nothing is more important than Ling'er's niece's birthday, junior brother, I haven't had a good drink in the past few months, sect master, you can let me be lazy for a while." ”

The rest of the people hurriedly stood up to congratulate, and when they saw Shui Chengxuan's gentle response one by one, they had no intention of holding grudges, so they were relieved, and seeing that the problems at sea were about to be solved, they all felt happy from the bottom of their hearts, and at this time they could be regarded as truly enjoying themselves.
