Chapter 258: Calculating with each other
In the Zangfu Building, Cen Zhisen, who was smiling diligently, was carefully serving tea to Lin Shiyu, the ninth son of the Lin family.
Lin Shiyu is a monk with ordinary facial features, slightly dark complexion, but tall and tall, and outstanding temperament, he was originally born in the Lin family, because of his outstanding qualifications, he was succeeded by his family at the age of five and recorded in the ranking.
Among the seventeen ranked sons and nineteen ranked ladies in the Lin family, Lin Shiyu's qualifications can only be regarded as above average, but his current cultivation is in the top five among the children of the Lin family of the same generation.
This is a ranking that will not cause the real Lin family's descendants to be unhappy, but can also allow him to get enough attention from the patriarch and clan elders.
Very few people know that this ranking is intentional by Lin Shiyu.
He is as talented as he is hardworking, and although his luck is ordinary, his understanding and intelligence have left most people several streets.
Ever since he was a teenager, he has been premeditating the acquisition of promising casual cultivators.
At that time, he was just a minor cultivator in the Qi refining period like those casual cultivators, but as a highly valued descendant of the Lin family, Lin Shiyu's fingers leaked a little, which was enough for those casual cultivators to be inexhaustible.
After decades of water milling, Lin Shiyu has single-handedly established more than a dozen industries of his own, as well as a large intelligence network with eyes and ears all over Yuezhou.
Cen Zhisen was the second subordinate of Lin Shiyu in his early years, and the Zangfu Building where he made an appointment with Ren Hantang and Ren Hanyue to meet was one of Lin Shiyu's most important industries.
As soon as Ren Hantang and Ren Hanyue came to Yuezhou, Lin Shiyu's people had already set their eyes on them, and after quietly observing those hidden eyes for a few days, Lin Shiyu sent Cen Zhisen, who was the easiest to let people offload, to test and get acquainted with these two foundation building period monks who suddenly appeared in Yuezhou.
Originally, he planned to hang Ren Hantang and Ren Hanyue for a few more days, but the news that Ren Hantang and Ren Hanyue were about to leave brought back by Cen Zhisen made him have to advance the meeting time.
This is also what Ren Hantang and Ren Hanyue hope.
Before coming to Yuezhou, they had received a summons jade talisman from the youngest son of the proprietress of the Taizhou inn, which recorded some secrets of several immortal cultivators in Yuezhou.
Although it is impossible for them to run to expose other people's old truths by themselves, they can wait for the other party to take the initiative to come to the door.
Therefore, in the past few days of eavesdropping everywhere in the name of playing, Ren Hantang and Ren Hanyue have been looking for opportunities to take advantage of those secret news.
What Lin Shiyu and Cen Zhisen didn't know was that when they were investigating and evaluating Ren Hantang and Ren Hanyue, Ren Hantang and Ren Hanyue were also deliberately trying to attract their attention.
The scattered cultivator brothers and sisters who suddenly appeared in Yuezhou have good strength but no backers, and the most important thing is that they have nothing to do with all the immortal cultivation families in Yuezhou, such a person is simply a sharp knife tailored for Lin Shiyu, or rather, cannon fodder.
"Childe, do you think they will come?" Cen Zhisen looked at Lin Shiyu with some concern.
Lin Shiyu smiled slightly, "Half and half." ”
Cen Zhisen had already known this answer, but Lin Shiyu also said so, but Cen Zhisen couldn't help but feel a little entangled.
He asked Lin Shiyu, "Why don't I go and invite them personally?"
Lin Shiyu waved his hand, "No need." Too deliberate can easily make people suspicious. ”
"But if they don't come......"
Halfway through Cen Zhisen's words, Lin Shiyu raised his hand to signal that he didn't have to say any more, "They are already here." ”
Cen Zhisen was overjoyed, he was about to let go of his perception and investigate, but Lin Shiyu handed it over with a look.
His eyes were like a scoop of cold water, directly extinguishing Cen Zhisen's excitement.
Cen Zhisen sat back awkwardly, and after a while, the aroma of spiritual tea overflowed the small elegant room again.
When the shopkeeper brought Ren Hantang and Ren Hanyue up, Cen Zhisen was handing Lin Shiyu a cup of spiritual tea with just the right temperature and pleasant aroma.
Ren Hanyue looked secretly funny, these two people couldn't wait to invite them here, but they still had to put on a leisurely and wanton expression to confuse people.
Not to mention, their acting skills are very good, if they hadn't heard a brief conversation between them before they came in, Ren Hanyue might have really been fooled by them.
"Two Han Daoyou, this is Lin Shiyu, a friend below. Shiyu, this is the Daoyou Han Tang and Daoyou Han Yue that I only met yesterday. Although Lin Shiyu's role in front of people is Cen Zhisen's "friend", when Cen Zhisen is in front of him, his attitude is always vaguely respectful and awe-inspiring.
This kind of respectfulness and awe is extremely weak, if it weren't for the fact that the relationship between these two people was actually a master and servant in advance, Ren Hantang and Ren Hanyue would only have preconceived ideas that Cen Zhisen's respect and awe for Lian Shiyi was because the other party's strength was higher than his own.
If it weren't for this, the master-servant relationship between Lin Shiyu and Cen Zhisen would not have been discovered for so many years.
After Ren Hantang and Ren Hanyue greeted each other with Lin Shiyu respectively, Cen Zhisen warmly beckoned them to sit down.
After serving two cups of spiritual tea with his own hands, Cen Zhisen took the initiative to provoke the topic again, "Don't hide it from the two Han Daoyou, the reason why Shiyu asked me to invite the two of them here is because he wants to invite the two of them to join our expedition team. ”
In the past few days, Ren Hanyue has always shown a "straightforward" personality, although Ren Hantang talks little, his style of handling things is also inclined to be crisp and neat, so Cen Zhisen speculates that these two people should not like others to beat around the bush.
In order to do what he liked, gain the favor of Ren Hantang and Ren Hanyue, and also to make Ren Hantang and Ren Hanyue feel that they were honest and credible, Cen Zhisen chose to go straight to the point as soon as he came up, explaining his intentions.
Ren Hantang and Ren Hanyue had long guessed Lin Shiyu's purpose for looking for them, but the other party was so big on the table, and the two were still a little surprised.
They looked at each other, but neither of them said anything.
The reaction of the two, Cen Zhisen was not very surprised.
To survive in the immortal cultivation realm where the law of the jungle is thoroughly practiced, each of them will be more or less wary of others.
Don't say that the other party and them are just strangers who meet in Pingshui, even between the same clan and clan, open and secret battles still exist.
Otherwise, why would his son-in-law bother to have a relationship with these two loose cultivators?
He had the same kind smile on his white round face as ever, and his small eyes narrowed into a slit still made it impossible to see his true mood.
"In a little more than a month, we will hold a hunting conference in Yuezhou, and all the descendants of the Xiuxian family in Yuezhou can form a team to participate. It just so happens that there are still a few companions missing from Shiyu's team, so I wonder if the two fellow Daoists are interested?"
