The stars migrate, the sun rises and the moon sets, and four days have passed in a hurry. In the four days www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, Lin Youran's cultivation finally improved again, and he felt that he was infinitely close to the Empty Yuan Realm, and he was even about to break the invisible bottleneck. Hua Qianyue also broke through to the Six Dao Yuan Species during this period of cultivation.

However, during the four days that Jun Ruoli was away, he did not concentrate on cultivation, but asked around about the news of the Tang Clan Medical Center and the Zhao family.

It turned out that the Tang Clan Medical Hall was a medical family that had been inherited for more than a hundred years in the Flowing Fire City, and there had been countless amazing and talented people with extraordinary talents. The Tang Clan Medical Hall used to be a respected force in the entire Flowing Fire City, but in recent decades, the Tang family has gradually declined, and the geniuses in the family have been framed and passed away one after another, and now only Tang Qianqian and her father Tang Shan are left to survive, supporting this already crumbling Tang Clan Medical Hall.

The Zhao family is also a medical family in Flowing Fire City, but it is not as long as the Tang family, it has only risen in the past few decades, but the permanent residents of Flowing Fire City know that since the appearance of the Zhao family, the decline of the Tang family has been more rapid, almost a thousand times a day.

A few months ago, the Zhao family sent someone to propose to the old man Tang, and Zhao Long, the son of the Zhao family, wanted to take Tang Qianqian as his wife and wanted to annex the Tang family. How can the old man Tang be willing, even if he refuses, who knows that it is the hands and feet of the Zhao family secretly, today the Tang family's mansion is filled with fire, and tomorrow there will be idlers who will come to the door to find fault, making the entire Tang family restless.

At this moment, the Zhao family sent someone to make a war agreement, with Tang Qianqian as a bet, and the two families agreed to meet in the alchemy pavilion in the center of the city at a certain time, and test the art of healing alchemy in front of everyone. If the Tang family wins, the Zhao family promises that they will never mention annexation and marriage proposal again in the future, and provide the Tang family with medicinal materials and silver grass, so that they have the capital to continue to operate the Tang Clan's medical hall. However, if she loses, then Tang Qianqian and the entire Tang family will belong to the Zhao family, and there must be no complaints.

If Tang Qianqian's usual personality is concerned, she will definitely not accept this appointment, but the bet made by the Zhao family make Tang Qianqian hesitate. She has seen her father all day and night for the affairs of the family full of sadness, every day some vicious people come to look for trouble, the tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, these people who came to find trouble were the forces that depended on the Tang family in the heyday of the Tang family.

Tang Qianqian has known the warmth and coldness of people since she was a child, and she has witnessed some forces that originally had a good relationship with the Tang family gradually leave with the decline of the Tang family. She also saw her father Tang Shan kneeling in front of the ancestral spirit and crying silently, muttering to herself in front of her mother's spirit card.

In Tang Qianqian's heart, she strongly wanted to help her father restore the peak of the Tang family, she had worked hard to cultivate since she was a child, and at the same time had a high talent in medical skills, so that she had a transcendent level of medical skills and alchemy at a young age, but the decline of the Tang family limited her hands and feet, and she couldn't afford to buy expensive medicinal materials, and the patient was gradually monopolized by the Zhao family.

So when the Zhao family came to make an appointment to fight and put forward such conditions, Tang Qianqian's heart was moved.

If I can win, then the Tang family will be able to get room for development. If I can win, then I can take some of the pressure off my father.

Tang Qianqian thought like this, her heart became more and more shaken, she ignored her father's strong opposition, and accepted the Zhao family's contract without authorization.

That is, tomorrow, the Tang family will compete with the Zhao family in the alchemy pavilion in the center of Flowing Fire City, and this battle will also determine the fate of the entire Tang family, including Tang Qianqian's own fate.

At this moment, a mansion that seems to be a little vicissitudes of life, as if it looks particularly old because it has not been renovated and built for a long time, the two stone lions in front of the gate are covered with a layer of dust half an inch thick, and even the mouth of the stone lion is densely covered with cobwebs.

The red paint of the door has receded, and the dead leaves on the steps in front of the door are scattered, as if no one has cleaned them for a long time, and it looks particularly gloomy.

In the lobby of the mansion, there is a young girl and a middle-aged man.

"Qian'er, forget about this competition, even if my father hands over the Tang family to him Zhao Wuyan, he can't let you marry into the Zhao family as a concubine......"

The middle-aged man's voice was trembling and weak, as if he was already haggard, originally forty or fifty years old would not be particularly old, but at this moment, his face was covered with wrinkles, and his hair, which should have been black, was mostly gray, he was Tang Qianqian's father, and now the head of the Tang family, Tangshan.

"Dad, the bet contract has been accepted, and there is no way to break it. "The girl was dressed in orange and yellow, with a little red in the three thousand green silks, willow eyebrows, and peach blossom eyes, which was Tang Qianqian. She sighed, as if she was tired.

"Now that the Zhao family is becoming more and more prosperous, medical skills and alchemy are all transcendental, and they have many prescriptions and medical scriptures in their hands, and the number of precious medicinal materials in their hands is even larger, how can the Tang family compete with it now?" Tang San sighed bitterly, his figure seemed to be a little rickety, perhaps because of the pressure over the years, he could no longer stand upright.

"Dad, don't say it, my daughter also knows that the Zhao family is strong, but our Tang family's Qingyunzi Wudan can make them sigh. Tang Qianqian bit her red lips lightly, and she didn't know what emotion was.

"But Qingyunzi Wudan's vital medicine has been bought, without this medicine, how can Qingyunzi Wudan be refined?" Tang San smiled bitterly, it seems that this time, the sky is going to kill my Tang family.

"The candle leaf purple lotus can be replaced with a good quality purple lotus. Tang Qianqianyu's hands were clenched, and her knuckles were faintly white.

"Dad, no matter what, my daughter will advance and retreat with you and the Tang family. This time, let your daughter take on the burden with you. Tang Qianqian shook Tang Shan's hand lightly, and she realized that the once huge, powerful but warm palm had already become rough and old.

In the hall, there was only a silent sigh.

......

Sanyuan Town, Shanhai Inn, among the guest rooms.

"That Tang Qianqian seems to be very pitiful......" Meng Yanyu sighed lightly, she suddenly felt self-blame, she even humiliated her reputation intentionally or unintentionally that day, which made Meng Yanyu's kind-hearted heart extremely self-reproachful.

"Ruoli, what's wrong with you?" Hua Qianyue frowned slightly, he found that Jun Ruoli had no smile since he came back from outside today, and his brows were furrowed from time to time, as if he had something on his mind.

Jun Ruoli raised his eyes and muttered, "This candle leaf purple lotus...... Give it back to Tang Qianqian. ”

Meng Yanyu was stunned for a moment, then nodded approvingly with joy on his face. Hua Qianyue also agreed, after all, both of them are girls, and the kindness in their hearts is always outrageous.

"Ridiculous. However, at this time, Lin Youran said lightly.

"What's ridiculous?" Jun Ruoli looked at Lin Youran and asked.

"This candle leaf purple lotus, did you get it out of thin air?" Lin Youran tapped his fingers on the desktop and asked.

Jun Ruoli shook his head: "I spent four million silver grass. ”

The corners of Lin Youran's mouth raised slightly: "That's it, you are neither stealing nor robbing, but a legitimate transaction, so why should you hand it over to that Tang Qianqian?"

Jun Ruoli sighed: "But this candle leaf Ziqing Lotus is booked by Tang Qianqian, if it weren't for Qiao Wangwu wanting to recruit me, I wouldn't be able to buy it." ”

"Not so much, but everything in the world has a certain number, and you deserve to get this candle leaf purple lotus, so you don't need to blame yourself. Lin said lightly.

"But we may still be able to find the Candle Leaf Purple Lotus, but the fate of the Tang family and Tang Qianqian may be in this Candle Leaf Purple Lotus. Jun Ruoli frowned.

"Put away your kindness, or one day you will pay for it. Lin Youran's tone was cold, and he was quite reprimanded.

"Lin Youran, I don't agree with you. Jun Ruoli shook his head and smiled.

Lin Youran didn't speak, but looked at Jun Ruoli.

"Not everything in this world has a fixed number, now Tang Qianqian's matter is a good example, if I don't give her the candle leaf Ziqing Lotus, then she is likely to lose, and if I give, she is likely to win. Jun Ruoli smiled: "And I'm not benevolent, but in front of some things, I don't want to be too indifferent, because some people's fate may be decided in our hands at a certain moment, and sometimes I can help in time, that feeling is also good." ”

Lin Youran looked at Jun Ruoli and snorted coldly for a long time: "You are merciful, but others are not merciful." You help others, but others don't help you, you don't understand what the human heart is, everyone is selfish, since you want to survive in this world, you must learn to be indifferent, otherwise your nosy affairs will only cause unpredictable disasters. ”

Lin Youran said indifferently: "Just like you killed Brother Wang Jing before, you know that if you don't kill, it will attract the revenge of the Wang family, this time you sent the Candle Leaf Zi Qinglian to Tang Qianqian, have you ever thought about the Zhao family's revenge? You should know that the Tang family is so down, a big reason is on the Zhao family." ”

"You also have to know that we have our own things to do, and the time is getting closer and closer to the obliteration of the city. ”

Hearing this, Jun Ruoli was silent.

Although Lin Youran's cognition sounds very indifferent and ruthless, it is indeed the essence of this world, people's hearts are unpredictable, and the world is hot and cold, but Jun Ruoli wants to ask, is cruelty really the essence of this world?

"I hope you understand that the road ahead for each of us is unknown, and if you want to move forward on this dangerous road and protect the people you want to protect, you need to live, but if you want to live, you need to be selfish and even unscrupulous. Lin leisurely poured a cup of tea and gently placed it on the table in front of Jun Ruoli.

Jun Ruoli was silent, he didn't know why Lin Youran knew so much, but he was right.

There was silence in the guest room, only Jun Ruoli let out a deep sigh.
