Chapter 285: Debt Repayment
In the huge square, the slender silver gorgeous ship landed, the heavy hatch opened, and a glittering mist of liquid poured out of the hatch, falling down like a living thing.
After a few seconds, the liquid condensed, forming a curved gangway like a graceful white rainbow. The greeters, who had been waiting nearby, immediately spread the golden carpet under the gangway.
"It's finally back!"
Looking at the familiar scenery below, the endless pyramid-shaped buildings in the distance, and the welcoming crowd in the square, Xiao Junling said with some emotion.
It's the middle of December, and the New Year is less than a month away.
After the Lantern Festival, he went on an expedition and has returned to the present, leaving for nearly a year. It seems that everything in the imperial capital is business as usual, and no obvious changes have been noticed.
"It's not early, let's go down!" A soft and bewitching voice came from behind.
He turned around from the porthole, and Xichen Qinglan, who had just tidied up his dress, was radiant and beautiful, like a bride who had been fully watered by rain and dew!
In comparison, his state was much worse, and the tiredness on his white face could not be concealed, as if he had just experienced a terrible battle on the front line!
When the victorious division returned, the temple naturally organized a very large guard of honor to welcome them, and many family members and friends came to greet them. The square of Nuoda is bustling, so lively!
As the head of the temple expeditionary corps, Xichen Qinglan was of course the first to walk down the gangway, and Xiao Junling, as her student, also followed her. Then there are the other gods of war and the leaders of the legions.
Xiao Junling didn't bother to pay attention to this formalized welcome ceremony, anyway, everything had his own teacher to deal with. His gaze wandered through the crowd below. It didn't take long to spot the familiar figure.
Yu Xin'er in a cyan dress stood in the crowd. and Zhou Yun was also there, waving at him excitedly.
Finally waited until the ceremony was over, and hurriedly said to Xichen Qinglan, the young man quickly rushed into the crowd, grabbed their waists one by one, and then without waiting for the surrounding reporters to react, he took them away suddenly, and disappeared after a few breaths!
"I'll go to you first. It's not convenient to talk here! He said to Yu Xin'er.
"Oh well! Let's get over it. The girl looked at the uncrowned kings who were following from afar, and nodded in understanding.
Zhou Yun asked in surprise and joy, "Have you advanced yet?" It looks like they're almost the powerhouses of the Meteorite Realm! No wonder he was running so fast with the two of us! ”
"Almost! It is estimated that it will not be long before it can break through! He laughs.
Xichen Qinglan, who was still in the square, still smiled calmly and gracefully, and led a group of strong people to respond to the questions of the reporters just right, but she was a little melancholy in her heart: This time in the imperial capital, I won't have much time to be alone with him in the future!
But this is also something that can't be helped, he can't be under his own protection and be his little lover for the rest of his life! With his ability and ambition, he will naturally soar to the sky and achieve his own achievements in the future!
…………
In the room, the questioning of the two women finally came to an end, Yu Xin'er instructed the maid to prepare lunch, and Xiao Junling, who looked a little tired, leaned back on the sofa. Ask Zhou Yundao:
"By the way, why didn't you see your sister coming?"
"Oh! She's been busy lately! It is estimated that it will be free in the evening. Zhou Yun looked at the living room and saw that there were no outsiders. Then he got up and sat on top of him naturally, holding his face, and kissing his plump and fiery red lips eagerly.
After tearing her ears and temples for a while, she pretended to ask casually: "I heard that Yang Yueqi also went to the front line, how is your development?" Did you eat her? ”
"How can this be?" Xiao Junling looked a little embarrassed, "There's nothing between me and her!" ”
"You can only lie to the ghost!" Zhou Yun snorted,
"Since it's not her, it's someone else! Don't be in a hurry to deny it, you can't hide this perfume smell from others! Honestly, which girl is it? ”
The young man's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said, "Let's not mention this, okay?" Let's talk about your family! What is the reason for the high-level general election in March? Father, why would he be suddenly transferred out of the center of the imperial capital? ”
Speaking of this, the smile on Zhou Yun's face disappeared, and he said a little gloomily: "It's that old thing of the Li family who supported his father's political enemies, and gathered a lot of previous opponents of the family to make a joint attack!" If it weren't for the timely response of the family's top management, I am afraid that my father's career would be over this time! I don't know exactly why...... Maybe you can ask Grandpa! ”
Xiao Junling suddenly felt in his heart, it seemed that the Li family suddenly attacked the Zhou family, there should be a reason that was not humane to outsiders, and I don't know if it has anything to do with him.
Of course, staying away from the center has the advantage of staying away from the center, Zhou Wenchang's transfer to the seven provinces this time, although it is a disguised "distribution of border passes", the administrative level has not been reduced, as long as he temporarily forbears, there may not be no chance to return to the center in the future.
What's more, he knew the wealth of the Seven Elements Province, and if the Zhou family could make large-scale investments in the past few years, the expected economic returns would be extremely rich.
The two chatted for a while, Yu Xin'er went and returned, and then a biochemical maid came in and announced that An Yulong and Zhao Ziyan were visiting together.
Xiao Junling hurriedly greeted him in person, and it was indispensable to catch up with the old days, and then the two of them made an appointment to pick up the wind and wash the dust for him, and by the way, they discussed the follow-up cooperation, and he had no reason to allow it.
Then, Wei Qinghao, Qin Weiyang, Zuo Shiji and Wu Jing, as well as envoys from several other wealthy families, visited one after another, and invariably left banquet invitations.
Xiao Junling's outstanding performance on the front line is no longer a secret to the top wealthy families in the imperial capital, such a genius with excellent cultivation talent and extremely strong fleet command and combat ability, his value has invisibly risen to a new level!
If he first appeared in the imperial capital, many big people only focused on his bottomless potential. Then after returning from the victory in this war, the potential of the teenager has begun to transform into strength, even at the current level, it is enough to become a famous general in the empire, not to mention how amazing the achievements will be in the future!
Therefore, trying to get closer to this genius and contact feelings has become a tacit practice for many wealthy families. Of course, if you can find a way to win him into the family, then the family leaders will of course be happy to hear it!
When the toss was finally over, the eldest lady of the Xuanyuan family came to the door again!
"This girl is here to collect debts!" She came to the young man's side with light and graceful steps, her jade hand stretched out slightly, and her big sly and agile eyes fixed on him, with an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling:
"You shouldn't be paying off, are you? My Excellency, Major General! ”
"Okay...... I knew you were coming! Xiao Junling took out two boxes from the dimensional space bracelet, put them on the ground, and said to her:
"There are a total of 5,000 prayer beads, you can verify the number yourself!"
The box was opened, and the pure and rich energy aura immediately escaped, and Xuanyuan Xiaofeng suddenly felt a slight flower in front of him, almost a little dizzy. That was the effect of the immaculate amount of spiritual power.
Inside the box are sixteen sealed jade boxes, open one casually, and a beautiful pearl of crystal jade and silver light is presented in front of you, each one is the size of a pigeon's egg. Those who don't know it seem to think that they are the best pearls, and only after feeling the overflowing spiritual energy will they realize their extraordinary!
At first glance, when he saw so many spiritual power beads, and the grades were all generally excellent, and there was no shoddy situation, Xuanyuan Xiaofeng was also a little surprised, and after looking at it for a while, he quickly put it away!
The Nianli Bead, which contains abundant spiritual energy, can be said to be a treasure to assist cultivation for any person with special abilities, and can also be used to treat some special injuries, and the creation of some high-level ability equipment is also inseparable from this thing. Therefore, in the market, high-quality prayer beads are extremely sought-after rare resources.
Of course, according to common sense, this kind of thing can only be condensed by spiritual powerhouses above the Star Transformation Realm, and condensing the Nianli Bead too often is a great burden on the spiritual power of the Abilityholder itself, and it will even affect his own cultivation progress!
So there is no special reason, those who have deep potential and are expected to continue to improve are reluctant to sell this thing in exchange for resources. At most, it is entrusted by friends and relatives to do it occasionally, and the number is not too much.
For Xuanyuan Xiaofeng, in addition to cultivation, some special ingredients also need spiritual power to catalyze neutralization, so the demand for this thing is especially large. Since you have met Xiao Junling, how can you not take the opportunity to find ways to squeeze it?
Yu Xin'er and Zhou Yun on the side are also a little greedy, such a batch of beads, in terms of value of millions of energy points, is a lot of wealth for ordinary wealthy children!
"What a nice thing! That's enough for a while! She said with satisfaction,
"However, you are now at the peak of the Star Transformation Realm, and the quality of the beads condensed by this should be higher! Can you show me a sample? ”
Xiao Junling took out a few more beads, Xuanyuan Xiaofeng took them and examined them, and suddenly his eyes couldn't take his eyes off.
Their diameter was larger than the previous batch, but the spiritual energy contained in them reached as much as 12,000 units, three times the color of that batch, and the energy aura was even purer!
"How many more? Hand it all over! Bright eyes stared at him.
"That's all, no more!" Xiao Junling is very straightforward.
"Then you can do it quickly!" Xuanyuan Xiaofeng gritted his teeth and said, "One of my important equipment still has a few processes that have not been completed, and I need this very much!" ”
"Why?" He asked with a smile, but there was a little remorse in his heart, he shouldn't have taken this thing out, she was targeted, and he was afraid that he would have to be a coolie every day in the future!
"How about making you a meal?" Xuanyuan Xiaofeng thought for a moment before reluctantly saying. (To be continued......)
