Chapter Ninety-Three: Jealousy
In the palatial hall, Shui Luo carefully looked at the stack of materials on the table, which was the operating finance of the Xihe City branch for a year, he asked something from time to time, and He Qiufen, who was standing solemnly next to him, explained them one by one.
"Smack"
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and a well-dressed maid walked in, moving quickly and gently to Shui Luo's side, and she quickly reported something in her ear.
"What did you say? Say it again?"
Hearing the woman's words, Shui Luo's face changed slightly, and he lost his voice, and then he seemed to realize his gaffe, and quickly calmed his face, waved his hand, and said, "I know, you go down." ”
Seeing this, He Qiufen next to her frowned slightly. It seems that in the past ten years, he has never seen Shui Luo so gaffe, watching the maid leave, she said with some surprise in her tone: "Shui Lao, what happened?"
Without answering He Qiufen's question, Shui Luo slowly stood up, his eyebrows were full of thought, and after a while, he suddenly turned his head and said solemnly: "What is the matter, are you sure that Zhang Hao is only a triple phantom strength?"
"Yes, Steward Wang has a good relationship with Menghai, and I have met Zhang Hao a few times before. He Qiufen wondered.
"He's a fart!"
Slapping his palm on the table, Shui Luo let out a sigh of relief and said: "In the peripheral selection, Zhang Hao blew Li Tang into a serious injury with one punch, and Gu Mo wanted to unload the strength on his body, but who knew that under the shot, he also injured the liliang carried by Li Tang!"
"This can't be! Zhang Hao is only a triple ......"
Before he finished speaking, He Qiufen immediately stopped his mouth and muttered, "This little guy has been hiding his strength?"
Shui Luo nodded emphatically and said, "Otherwise, one punch will hit two masters who have just entered the sixfold phantom body, I'm afraid that this kid's phantom body strength has reached the sixfold small score, or even the sixth-fold major achievement!"
Speaking of this, Shui Luo himself couldn't help but gasp, because Shui Yonghong, the genius of the Shui family's generation, was currently in the Sixth Realm of Success.
"There's a problem here! What is the matter, you go and call the king's steward to me! Let him give me an explanation!" After pacing back and forth for a long time, Shui Luo's gloomy voice came out.
"Grandpa, what's wrong, what made you so angry?" He Qiufen walked out of the room with her front foot, and the Shui Fei sisters followed Shui Yonghong in with her back foot, looking at Shui Luo Tieqing's face, Shui Fei's faint words sounded.
Seeing the three of them coming, Shui Luo's face softened a little, pointed to the chair on the side, and said, "Sit down first." ”
After sitting down, he raised his eyes and saw Shui Luo's gloomy face, Shui Yonghong asked curiously, "Second grandfather, who dares to make you angry so boldly?"
Shaking his head slightly, the indescribable bitterness on Shui Luo's face, after getting the news of today's peripheral selection, the ironic scene with Zhang Hao yesterday flashed in his mind from time to time, and the more he thought about it, the more he made him restless.
Obviously, yesterday's boy may not be a waste in everyone's eyes, nor is it the predecessor of the Zhang family who said he was just passing by, a kid who grew up in a poor countryside, and he hasn't even opened his divine soul, how can he cultivate the strength of the sixfold phantom body?
"Zhang Hao has passed the selection from the periphery!"
"How is it possible? Isn't that a waste a triple phantom body? Gu Mo and Li Tang are the elite experts of our main branch, how can he pass?" Shui Wenxia was stunned for a moment and said.
"Yesterday, grandpa also made a special explanation. Could it be that they accepted the benefits given by Zhang Hao and deliberately released the water? These two people are so bold!" Shui Fei thought for a moment and said coldly.
"Don't open your mouth for a piece of waste, shut up for a piece of waste!"
Looking at the disapproving and indifferent expressions on the faces of his two granddaughters, Shui Luo's face was slightly cold, and he said, "Li Tang and Gu Mo did not receive benefits, nor did they release water. Now the two of them are recuperating in the Pavilion Courtyard behind the Chamber of Commerce, and in the peripheral selection, Zhang Hao will hit the two of them together with one punch!"
"Is this the case?"
Shui Yonghong, who had been there all the time, frowned instantly. He knew the strength of Li Tang and Gu Mo. To be honest, if it is a single round of phantom body strength, it is not difficult to seize the opportunity to hurt the two of them with one punch. But the result of this great contrast made Shui Yonghong's face solemn. He didn't expect that the country boy who didn't even want to look at him in his eyes yesterday had such a strong phantom strength.
Feeling that Shui Yonghong's face became more and more solemn, Shui Luo groaned: "This is a fact, Zhang Hao's phantom body strength may have also reached the realm of six great achievements!"
After saying that, Shui Luo turned his eyes to look at the Shui Fei sisters who were a little stunned, and sighed lightly: "Although Zhang Hao was sent out by the Zhang family, it seems that there should be another hidden secret. In his situation, if he didn't have three or four lower-grade Heaven and Earth Holy Fruits to help open up the meridians, it would never be possible to cultivate to this extent. ”
Heaven and Earth Holy Fruit! These four words entered his ears, and Shui Yonghong's hands hidden under the sleeve robe couldn't help but clench. With his ultimate divine soul talent, if he was born in a big family like the Zhang family, maybe the strength of the phantom body would have broken through to the sevenfold or even reached the sevenfold realm by now. But the small family of the Shui family, such as the treasure of the Heaven and Earth Holy Fruit, once it appears, it will be snatched up by the big family as soon as it appears, and for so many years, he only took half of the energy power bead refined by a low-grade holy fruit when he condensed the first divine soul array at the age of seven.
"Even a waste whose divine soul has not been opened can reach the same phantom realm as me at the same age, why should he? If he has the assistance of three or four low-grade holy fruits, with my talent, he will definitely be able to step into the sevenfold small realm in one step!"
With a cold snort in his heart, Shui Yonghong's face remained calm, and said: "Second grandfather, don't worry, although the recommended test focuses on the strength of the phantom body, but Zuihou still has to look at the overall strength. ”
Feeling the deep unwillingness hidden under that calm face, Shui Luo secretly sighed and said, "Now that Zhang Hao has shown enough strength, we have to change our attitude towards him." Yonghong, you don't need to think about anything, with your talent, if you have the help of two Heaven and Earth Holy Fruits, I have confidence, you can definitely achieve the Sevenfold Small Realm of the Phantom Body. ”
As these words came out, Shui Yonghong's face obviously eased a lot, and Shui Luo smiled: "Over the years, your grandfather and I have worried about your cultivation, and you have never disappointed the two of us. Over the past ten years, I have also accumulated some wealth. As early as two months ago, the Dafeng National Branch came with news that it accidentally obtained a Rong Olive Fruit in a Qianzhang Mountain Stream, which is also a good quality among the lower grade holy fruit class. I have already sent someone back to the headquarters to report, and spent 780,000 high-grade power stones to secretly cut off this low-grade holy fruit. ”
"Second grandfather, is this true?" Shui Yonghong's face lifted a touch of ecstasy and said.
Nodding, Shui Luo smiled and said, "When did the second grandfather deceive you?" Wait another twenty days, this fruit should be able to reach Xihe City, you have been in the Sixth Great Immortal Body for a year. Presumably, with the help of the power of the Holy Fruit, it is not a problem to step into the Sevenfold Illusion Body Realm in one fell swoop!"
"Grandpa, why are you so partial. No matter what, I also want a holy fruit!" Seeing the joy on Shui Yonghong's face, Shui Fei was also very happy. If there is no deviation, the former will be the future husband of their sisters in the future. Therefore, although she had a hint of anger on her mouth, there was a hint of blame, and her beautiful eyes stared at Shui Yonghong.
Seeing Shui Fei's expression, Shui Luo shook his head lightly and said with a smile: "The holy fruit is not a green vegetable that can be bought at random on the street, and this one will cost me half my life." If you are like your Brother Yonghong, you are the ultimate soul that our Shui family has encountered for thousands of years, and grandpa will definitely get you another one even if he gives up that half of his old life. ”
"My Divine Soul is the strongest of the seven Divine Souls, if I really promote to the ultimate Divine Soul, I am afraid that I will have to suppress Brother Yonghong, and see that he, a little bad guy, will dare to bully our sisters in the future. ”
At this moment, in front of Shui Yonghong, Shui Fei still has a bit of a domineering shadow, the little fist she waved and the greasy and crooked voice, not to mention Shui Yonghong, even Shui Luo couldn't help but tighten the chrysanthemum.
"Bell"
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Shui Luo waved his hand at several people, regained his usual serious expression, and said, "Come in!"
Walking into the room, looking at the few people in the room looking at him directly, Wang Hai took two quick steps, bent down and saluted: "Shui Lao, do you have something to do with me?"
Nodding faintly, Shui Luo said, "How many years have you known Menghai?"
"Five or six years. Hearing this, Wang Hai's heart was clear for a while, presumably he sent someone to inform Shui Luo of the selection just now, and the other party wanted to understand Zhang Hao's situation at this time.
"Five or six years! With your strength, how could you be unaware of Zhang Hao's strength? Could it be that you deliberately concealed it yesterday and wanted to see me make a fool of myself?" Shui Luo's tone suddenly became much colder.
Wang Hai trembled, and hurriedly explained: "Shui Lao, although I have known that Menghai for a long time, he usually sells some things in Xihe City, and I just help out." That is, I have been in contact with more in recent months, and I just went to Wuyun Village. At that time, Zhang Hao's strength was indeed a triple phantom. ”
"It's just that he has some strength with the help of external forces, and he really thinks that he is great, if he doesn't have the help of the Holy Fruit, reaching the triple phantom body at his age is already the limit. What kind of master to pretend!" Shui Yonghong said coldly.
"Well, you can't say that. ”
Staring at Wang Hai, Shui Luo nodded secretly, if Zhang Hao really wanted to hide his strength, it would be really difficult to find out with Wang Hai's strength.
"The Zhang family has been inherited for 10,000 years, and the heritage is incomparably profound. It would be a great honor to be able to get a little bit involved. Do you understand the meaning of my words?" Chaoshui Yonghong made a look, Shui Luo looked at Wang Hai, and said in a condensed voice.
"I understand, I understand, please rest assured. I have a pretty good relationship with Dream Sea, and I will walk around with their family more during this time. Wang Hai nodded hurriedly.
"Good. You go down first, things are done well, and the benefits will not be less for you. With a faint wave of his hand, Shui Luo said.
Seeing Wang Hai walk out of the room, Shui Yonghong said with an unhappy face: "Grandpa, even if that kid has some ability, he is just an abandoned person now, and he has nothing to do with the Zhang family." It's not easy to get back into the clan, so it's worth wooing?"
"Strange goods!"
Shui Luo smiled meaningfully and said, "Just like the youth protection competition is lonely now, and the escort task is handed over to those businessmen who come and go to Dalu, they know the truth. Therefore, they are happy to do this laborious and money-consuming thing. What's more, there is a Zhang family senior behind Zhang Hao?"
Speaking of this, Shui Luo stood up and walked to the windowsill, and said meaningfully: "Yonghong, there is no need to worry about such a family outcast. Don't forget, the purpose of your visit to Xihe City this time is that there is a good chance of starting the Phantom Beast Treasure Hunt event in this ten-year event, and if you can win the honor of this event, plus the Medal of Honor for the first place in the Youth Conservation Competition. It's not to disappoint your grandfather's painstaking efforts to find a mentor for you, and as for those trivial things, don't take them too seriously. ”
I haven't seen each other for three years, and these half a year of getting along have made Shui Luo deeply understand the talented young man in his family, and at this moment he saw the injustice and jealousy hidden in the other party's heart, so he had this vague persuasion.
"Second grandfather, I know. Bowing his head slightly, Shui Yonghong softly catered to him.
"Okay, you guys go down, I still have to check the financial bills of the Xihe City branch for a year. ”
Turning around to explain, watching the three of them walk out of the room, Shui Luo looked up to the sky and sighed, and muttered: "Big brother, big brother, you have spoiled Yonghong in the past three years." Such a narrow-minded nature may not be a shackle to cultivation in the future!"
Walking out of the room, Shui Yonghong pulled down his face as he walked. Seeing the former's expression, Shui Fei's eyes moved slightly, and said, "Brother Yonghong, are you still worried about that waste?"
"He's not worthy of me to be upset! shit luck guy, in my eyes, even if he reaches the sixfold phantom, he's still a piece of shit. Shui Yonghong sneered.
"Brother Yonghong, considering Zhang Hao's strength, it shouldn't be a problem to pass the first two tests, but for the third one, I can guarantee that he will be able to make a foreign appearance in public. Shui Fei said softly.
"Oh, what do you want to do?"
Seeing Shui Yonghong's rare interest in her words, Shui Fei was overjoyed, and at that moment she grabbed Shui Yonghong and said, "Let's go, Brother Yonghong, let's go find Zhou Qian, this recommended test is the ...... she arranged."
