The market was still lively, but Lin Yan and the others didn't find any good materials after they wandered around for half a day, and the information they heard about the conference was also hearsay, and it was impossible to count.

"Forget it, there's nothing to see, let's go back." Lin Yan lost interest and said.

"Let's go back." He Xiangu responded.

The three of them returned to the inn.

Lin Yan took the money bag and entered the cadre's room, "Senior brother, I'm back, I don't see anything I particularly want to buy in the market, so I'll return the money bag to you." ”

……

didn't get a response, Lin Yan looked at the cadre who was sitting at the tea table, sat down next to him, and asked with concern, "Senior brother, what's wrong, something?" ”

The cadre came to his senses, "Oh......, it's okay. It's back. A smile appeared on his face to hide.

Lin Yan stared at the cadre for a while, "Senior brother, tell me if you have anything, I will definitely contribute if I can do my best; Even if you can't help, if you talk to me, your heart will be more relaxed. ”

"It's really nothing...... Oh, by the way, Lin Yan, I'm going out to run some errands tomorrow, and I may not be able to come back for a few days. You have the money bag, and there will be an auction in a few days, and you may need it then. ”

"Senior brother, do you want me to accompany you?" Lin Yan asked seriously.

"No, I don't. It was an old friend of mine who asked me to meet me. I haven't seen each other for many years, and now that I have the opportunity to meet, I always have to talk about it. ”

"Oh, that's right...... I saw that you looked preoccupied and thought that something difficult had happened, but it turned out that you were reminiscing about the past. Okay, I'll use the money bag first. Senior brother, let's go down and eat. ”

The two went downstairs......

Three days later

The inn was full of people: "Hurry, hurry...... Let's go to the West Gate together, and the Fire Wish Grandmaster came with the refiners of the Land of Chaos, and they entered the city through the West Gate. ”

"Really! Then I have to go and see, Grandmaster, I haven't seen it in my life, and I can't miss this opportunity. "Many people fit.

"Master, why don't we go and have a look?" He Xiangu asked softly.

"Okay, let's see." Lin Yan agreed.

Follow the crowd and flock to the West Gate together. On the city wall, people were next to each other, people were crowded, and there was no place to stand, so Lin Yan and the three of them found a teahouse at the place where they had to pass and stopped to watch.

After most of the hour passed, Lin Yan saw the crowd surging here, and his voice became more and more noisy, "It's coming." ”

At the head of the crowd, more than a dozen people walked forward, followed by dozens of horses and more than a dozen cars, and the Yu family in brocade accompanied Huo Zhu and his party in front. Among the group, an ascetic was very conspicuous: tall, thin, standing out from the crowd, bald, barefoot, and ragged.

"Hou Gongzi, do you deny that ascetic?"

"I don't recognize it, but I've heard of it."

"Oh, let's hear it."

"About four or five years ago, a monk named Jiu Xingzhi suddenly appeared in the land of chaos, not to mention the skill is extremely high, the technique of numerology deduction is very accurate, and his reputation in the land of chaos is directly chasing Mr. Mei Operator. Many forces tried to invite him to join, but they were unsuccessful. This time, with Huo Zhu and his party, he should have come to the Tianyuan Continent to see and understand. ”

Hearing Hou Yuhua say this, Lin Yan frowned: "I have the ability equivalent to Mr. Mei Operator, so I should try not to appear in front of him."

"There's nothing to see here, let's go back." Lin Yan suggested.

"There's really nothing to see. The fire is said to be miraculous, I thought it was so wise and powerful, it turned out to be just a bad old man. Let's go, go back. He Xiangu muttered.

When the three of them returned to the inn, Lin Yan saw that the window of the cadre's room was open, guessed that he should be back, and walked over: "Senior brother, are you back?" ”

"Lin Yan, come in." The cadre's voice came out, low and weak.

Lin Yan couldn't help but speed up his pace and walked into the room.

The cadre just got up from the bed, saw Lin Yan come in, and beckoned him to sit down at the table.

Seeing the sluggish expression of the cadre, Lin Yan asked worriedly: "Senior brother, didn't you say that you were going to a party with friends, why did you hurt your mind so badly?" ”

The cadre smiled awkwardly: "I talked to others." ”

"What character? It can make you so energetic. Lin Yan asked curiously. Gan Jiangzi is the most prestigious refining master in the mainland, and there are a few people who can make him pay so much attention.

The cadre obviously didn't want to say more, and simply said the result: "He didn't do well, I don't think he can recover in half a year." ”

"But...... But, Senior Brother, how will you face the Fire Celebration in the later refining conference? ”

"This ...... Let's talk about it then, it's really not good, aren't you still there? The cadre said irresponsibly.

"Me? I don't want to participate. Thinking of the dove Xingzhi he had just seen, Lin Yan decisively refused.

Strange Lin Yan was very resolute in his opposition, and the cadre did not ask: "There are still a few days before the refining conference starts, and it is estimated that it will be about ten days before Huo Zhu and I play, maybe I will have recovered by then, so I don't have to think about it so much for the time being." ”

Lin Yan was silent for a moment and asked, "Senior brother, I feel a little sudden, did you say that it was arranged by Huo Zhu in advance, just hoping that you can't participate in this refining conference, so that he can easily win the championship?" ”

The cadre thought for a while, and said with a somewhat serious expression: "It's possible." Otherwise, if you don't come early or late, you choose this time. The cadre stopped and continued, "Since this is the reason, then I must hurry up and recover, and I can't let them succeed." Lin Yan, you are also ready to appear. Since this is a conspiracy, they cannot be allowed to succeed. ”

"Me? …… All right. Senior brother, if you hurry up and recover, I won't bother you. Lin Yan said helplessly.
