Chapter 114: Prospects

Pan Long and Lie Yukou came quietly and walked quietly, and during the whole process, except for the Shenwu Division, not even one in the entire Cape City saw their traces.

Without waiting for dawn, Ma Yi took the initiative to visit the inn where His Excellency Qionghua was staying.

Of course, he wouldn't grovel and act like a pug, but he was noticeably more polite, even with a hint of unskilled flattery.

This surprised both Wu Jixing and Sun Qiongyu.

But both of them were smart people, of course they would not show it, but quietly and politely talked a few words, and then politely sent Ma Yi all the way to the door of the inn, and even waited outside the door for a long time, making a respectful gesture.

Seeing Ma Yi's figure disappear at the end of the street, Sun Qiongyu asked in a low voice, "What do you think?"

"He must be in trouble, and this trouble ...... It's about us. Wu Jixing replied without thinking, "If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid it's ...... My brother-in-law just went to him to 'talk'. ”

Sun Qiongyu smiled and nodded.

"With his identity and character, it is not that he can be convinced by his skills. He must not only have higher skills than him, but also have a certain status in the court, so that he can bow his head. Pan Dingfeng is not only the first master of the younger generation, but also a friend of Cangyuan, and even has a friendship with Di Luonan. He made great contributions at the Mid-Autumn Festival Moon Viewing Conference and protected many officials...... So he was able to make the horse guard bow his head. For someone else, even if his martial arts are higher than him, it is estimated that he will not be able to. ”

Wu Jixing was slightly surprised: "Martial arts are not higher?"

"Of course not. Sun Qiongyu said, "If you bow your head when you encounter an enemy with strong martial arts, then how can the guards of these places hold great power and become the henchmen of the imperial court? As local dignitaries, they are not short of wealth and wealth, let alone poverty, so the biggest requirement of the imperial court for them is loyalty, which is higher than the loyalty of life. ”

Saying that, she smiled slightly: "Actually, this is the same as your Qionghua Pavilion employing people, some selfish distractions are not a problem, and it is not a big deal if you want to make some benefits, as long as you don't stand on the wrong side on key issues, and you can stand up and live and die with everyone at a critical moment, that is a good brother - the court and the rivers and lakes, there is not much difference in nature." ”

Wu Jixing nodded: "Uncle Shi is right, it's me who thinks badly." ”

That's the end of the topic about Ma Yi, after all, everyone doesn't really have much to do with each other, and Qionghua Pavilion probably won't develop ocean trade in his lifetime - they have hired several key positions even in the current ship.

It's just a matter of doing some business along the Tongtian River and even on the sea near Guangling, and it is really impossible for ordinary people to do business across the ocean.

In the entire Great Xia, except for the fleet of the imperial court, there are very few people who can do this business well by relying on the private sector.

This is just like the Silk Road caravans, each caravan must have at least one real master in charge.

Where did the true master of Qionghua Pavilion come from? Even if Wu Jixing cultivated into a real person in the future, she would have to sit at the helm, and it would be impossible for her to go out with the fleet to run business.

Next, the two talked about Pan Long.

Now Pan Long is already a very face-saving figure in the rivers and lakes, those who are distant call him Pan Daxia, and those who are closer call him Pan Dingfeng - Dingfeng is his hometown, which is an honorific title for those who are very famous and one person is enough to represent a place.

In the future, if someone in Dingfeng Town comes out to explore the rivers and lakes and introduces his origins, most of the others will ask: "Your Excellency was born in Dingfeng, Northland...... Could it be that Dingfeng of Pan Dingfeng?"

This is called "hand"!

Wu Jixing couldn't help but smile when he said this.

Her brother-in-law's face is so big that even the big guy at the end of the earth is willing to bow his head, of course she is happy!

Seeing her smiling happily, Sun Qiongyu couldn't help but sigh secretly.

She has lived for more than a hundred years, and she has seen enough people and things, some things, Wu Jixing herself may not have realized it, but she has already seen it.

For Wu Jixing, there are few peers who are better than her. Even if there are some, they are often so alienated that they have nothing to do with them.

Although Guangling City is big, there are really very few innate masters of this grade at the age of thirty.

Thirty innate, is recognized as the standard of "genius". And geniuses of this grade are often cultivated as core disciples in famous schools, or they are born in high-ranking families.

The martial artist is just a relatively famous businessman in Great Xia, with a certain reputation, but his strength is not strong.

The Qionglou faction is just a sect with a long history, and its qualifications are not shallow, but its strength is also not strong.

In the past few years, the young innate masters that Wu Jixing has come into contact with can be counted on one hand.

And among them, Wu Cuigu is the only one who can be closer to her.

In this case, Pan Long's appearance was tantamount to a colorful glow in front of her, which completely attracted her attention.

What happens to a woman, a young woman, whose attention is completely drawn to a man?

(Probably Xingqiong herself hasn't realized it yet...... Even Pan Dingfeng has realized that he deliberately kept his distance from her...... οΌ‰

Thinking that Pan Long would rather quietly go to "make friends" with Ma Zhenshou in the middle of the night than appear in front of Wu Jixing, Sun Qiongyu couldn't help but sigh.

She knew that Pan Long's approach was right, and there were some things that it was better to prevent it early than to have trouble in the future.

But...... Why is it Wu Jixing that is "prevented"?

(No!How can I think that!Cuiqiong will soon be a true disciple of this sect, and a bowl of water must be leveled!)

(Cui Qiong's husband keeps his distance from Xingqiong, but he is willing to help, this is really a good thing, why am I still dissatisfied?)

(...... Alas, after all, it was I who didn't have a good result back then, so when I saw Xingqiong like this, I couldn't help but want to help her and let her have a good result...... οΌ‰

(But she has a good result, what should Cuiqiong do?)

(Annoying! It's annoying! These people have human relations, love and hatred, which is more difficult than fighting in the rivers and lakes, and more difficult than impacting the realm of real people!)

She sighed in her heart, but she didn't say anything after all.

Pan Long didn't know that Sun Qiongyu had added so much drama to him in his heart, and the reason why he didn't come forward on the spot was nothing more than to respect the tacit understanding reached between people from all walks of life.

If he knew that his actions had made Sun Qiongyu think so much, he was afraid that he would not be able to help but complain: "Auntie, how many romance movies have you watched in your last life!"

After this incident, whether it was Qionghua Pavilion or Cape City, it was all calm.

After this incident, Wu Jixing was not in a hurry to find the big demon - she also figured it out, and no matter how many monks there were, she might not be able to get a piece of the pie if she found it, even if it was fortunate to invite the heavens, Qionghua Pavilion found the snake demon who was injured and escaped alone, can they really get benefits?

A mere guard of Cape City made her powerless to fight back. If it weren't for the brother-in-law protecting him in secret, I'm afraid that the group would have died a long time ago.

That big demon may not have reached the realm of a real person, and he may have injuries on his body, but after all, he is a person who can try to subvert a country!

The rotten ship still has three catties of nails, and Qionghua Pavilion, which doesn't even have a real master, why do you think people are soft persimmons?

She is only about thirty, and she has enough time to accumulate slowly, slowly looking for and waiting for opportunities, there is no need to fight like this now.

Thinking about it from another angle, even if her brother-in-law helped her and captured the snake demon's Neidan for her, would she be able to use it now?

I can't!

According to her cultivation progress, no matter how fast she is, she will not be able to rely on the power of Naedan to try to impact the real person realm by relying on the power of Naedan.

Taking risks now for the sake of what will be twenty years from now is not far-sighted, but unrealistic!

She was so eager before, but she just thought badly and drilled the tip of the horns.

After figuring it out, she was not in a hurry to go to sea, and every day in addition to arranging for the brothers of Qionghua Pavilion to practice with those old sailors, she walked around Haijiao City, visited local masters, and broadened her horizons.

In just over ten days, she visited five or six local well-known innate masters, and also visited a sect with a real grandmaster in charge - Tianya Pavilion.

The ancestor of Tianya Pavilion was originally engaged in book trading, and later a generation of ancestors accidentally got a batch of books of hundreds of schools, he read through these books, from which he studied the core idea of "Confucianism and Mo, and the method of combining names", gathering hundreds of schools, unique, and finally achieving a generation of grandmasters.

After cultivating as a grandmaster, this ancestor took his family away from home and came to the South China Sea.

After all, the miscellaneous family is also one of the hundred schools of thought, and their identity in the court is a little embarrassing. Instead of staying in the hinterland of Great Xia and causing trouble, it is better to run to this land.

Hundreds of years have passed in the blink of an eye, this ancestor has passed away, but there are successors to Tianya Pavilion, and there are three generations of real grandmasters to inherit it, becoming a real famous family.

In terms of the status of the rivers and lakes, Tianya Pavilion is far above the Qionglou faction.

However, this sect's mind is tranquil and secluded, and it has obvious Taoist influence. The successive generations have been relatively peaceful, rarely go out to cause trouble, and their reputation in the rivers and lakes is not very loud.

Wu Jixing was naturally not qualified to meet the contemporary Tianya Pavilion Master, the old Sect Master who had lived for more than two hundred and thirty years was now in retreat and cultivation almost all day long, and even his own disciples were rare, let alone meeting outsiders.

But she was fortunate enough to meet Lin Tan, who would most likely become the next generation of Tianya Pavilion Masters.

This Tianya Pavilion elder, nicknamed "Nanhai Xiufeng", is now over a hundred and fifty years old, and he has also cultivated into a real person. This person is a descendant of the giant of Longbo in the East China Sea, and his height is close to two zhang, even if he sits on the ground, he is much taller than most people standing. Wu Jixing was a small point in front of him, not even up to his chestβ€”this was still him sitting at the time, and Wu Jixing was standing.

If he stood up, it was estimated that Wu Jixing's maximum would not exceed his knees.

When Wen Chaogong was writing dramas, there was often a short man surnamed Guo in the story, and this person had a joke, that is, "jump up and punch you in the knee" - if he was facing Lin Tan, such a thing might really happen.

...... If his martial arts skills were a little worse, he might not even be able to jump up to Lin Tan's knees.

Wu Jixing asked Lin Tan for advice, said goodbye respectfully, and after going out, a Tianya Pavilion innate master named Ye Qinghuan came to his side and asked quietly, "What do you think of our Elder Lin?"

"The momentum is extraordinary, admirable!" Wu Jixing replied immediately.

"Don't you think he's too tall?"

Wu Jixing thought for a moment and asked rhetorically: "Is there anything wrong with being taller? I think being tall is a face-saving thing." ”

Although he was over sixty years old, Lin Qinghuan, who looked like a young woman, gave a thumbs up and smiled happily.

"Very good! If you still have something to come to the South China Sea in the future, please be sure to come to our Tianya Pavilion, and when the time comes, our husband and wife will be the east, please taste the specialties of the South China Sea." ”

Wu Jixing nodded first, and then realized the meaning of her words, and his eyes widened suddenly.

She immediately realized that she had lost her temper and hurriedly lowered her head to cover up.

"Don't hide it, everyone who knows that we are husband and wife has an expression of seeing a ghost, I'm used to it. Lin Qinghuan smiled, "You don't think that your grandson (the honorific title for her husband) can really only grow so big, and you can't get smaller, right?"

"Huh, can it be smaller?"

"The dragon giant is a descendant of the ancient demon gods, and strictly speaking, they belong to the category of divine beasts. Have you ever heard of a divine beast that can't be big or small and change at will?" Lin Qinghuan laughed.

Obviously, she was very happy to see others speechless by the news.

Wu Jixing was a little dazed, and couldn't help but ask, "That husband...... Why did you keep such a big figure just now?"

"Because it's fun. Lin Qinghuan smiled and said, "Seeing the surprised looks of others, he thinks it's funny." ”

Wu Jixing was a little speechless.

"Actually, we usually go shopping together, and when we go shopping, he always becomes the height of an ordinary person, and he is probably half a head taller than me. Lin Qinghuan smiled, "Finding a divine beast husband is this benefit." ”

Wu Jixing imagined it for a moment, couldn't help but laugh, and then asked curiously, "Why are you telling me this?"

"I know some arithmetic, and I couldn't help but give you a bit of arithmetic just now. Lin Qinghuan said, "Your life is very special, in the future, you will either live alone for a lifetime, or you will have to find a man who is lucky enough to suppress your life - and such a man, the best thing is to find a divine beast." ”

She smiled and poked Wu Jixing's waist: "When I met my grandson back then, many people were not optimistic about us, but now they are very envious. If you have a similar opportunity, don't miss it. ”

"Good men don't think as much, especially if they can be suitable for you, and there are even fewer of them. Whether it works out in the end or not, it's always a good thing to take him first!"

She squeezed her eyes towards Wu Jixing: "This is a senior who has already achieved happiness, and he will give you the most important advice." ”
