Chapter 18: The Super Oolong Incident
After a long time, Mo Yan took the lead in breaking the deadlock, "Ghana, you have such an achievement, I am happy for you, but, as a family, you should not hide your strength, you know, sometimes, the judgment of the strength of the clan will affect the general direction of the family's development." β
"Hehe, chess pieces?", before Mo Yan finished speaking, Garner directly interrupted him.
Mo Yan was stunned, "You ......"
Garner pretended not to see, picked up the teapot on the table, poured himself a glass of water, picked it up, took a small sip, and looked at Mo Yan playfully.
Mo Yan's face turned pale, looking at Garner's cynical appearance, and suddenly, "Haha, hahaha, okay." He laughed out loud.
This time, Ghana was stunned and asked, "Gao Gao, what is your situation?"
Mo Yan didn't answer, and said three "good" words in a row.
Garner was puzzled and waited for his following.
Sure enough, Mo Yan said, "Ghana, it was the old man who misjudged you before." β
Garner was noncommittal and said, "Well, go on." β
Mo Yan didn't say anything more, but took out a delicate box from his arms, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Garner, "This is for you." β
Garner glanced at the delicate box, didn't pick it up, but didn't push it, looked up at Mo Yan's eyes, and asked, "Gao master, what do you mean by this, what is inside?"
Mo Yan smiled without saying a word, took out a teacup from the plate on the table, filled it with water, picked it up, took a small sip, and looked at him playfully, learning from Ghana's previous appearance.
Garner smiled, old boy, this is not wrong at all, the old man in front of him is obviously a kind of riposte to his previous attitude.
"Inside the box is a small object for you. The old man took a sip of tea and continued, "I originally thought this thing was very suitable for you, but I looked at your strength just now, and perhaps, the effect is not great." β
"What the hell is it?"
"Pills. β
"Pills?"
"Well, an elixir that changes the physique. β
"Oh?" said Garner, surprised, "why do you say I don't have much effect now?"
Mo Yan said: "Change your physique, start from the child, start from the basics, if your strength is still in the initial stage of quasi-knights, using the elixir that changes your physique will have a good effect, and now, it's too late...... Hey, that's a pity. β
Garner didn't have a trace of regret, reached out and grabbed the delicate box, didn't open it, played with it for a while, and asked lightly, "Why do you want to give me this?"
Mo Yan sighed and said, "Even if it's compensation for me snubbing you all these years." With that, he stood up and prepared to leave.
"Wait", Garner also stood up, "High master, you take the box." He handed the delicate box back to Mo Yan's hand, his face expressionless.
Mo Yan's eyes widened suddenly, "Mo Feili, this is an elixir ......?"
"So what?" said Garner, with a pale expression, "for nothing." β
Mo Yan was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became gloomy, and he muttered, "No merit is not Lu, no merit is not Lu......"
Seeing the old man's sadness, Garner suddenly felt a little unbearable, and said: "Gao master, as you said, the effect of using this thing now is not great, you might as well give it to other people in the clan, which is also good for the development of the family." β
Mo Yan looked at Garner's eyes, although he didn't find a shadow of sincerity, he didn't see the banter again, and after a long time, he sighed for the third time, "Hey...... Forget it, what is given to you is for you, as for how to deal with it, you can do it yourself. With that, he turned around and went out.
Garner didn't refuse this time, watching the old man's back slowly disappear into the night, he was silent.
......
"Hey, Mr. Ghana. Outside the hospital, a familiar voice sounded, Chu Chu came.
"Sister Chu Chu, good evening!" Looking at Chu Chu's excited look, Garner guessed that she must have gained a lot today.
"Quick, pour me a glass of water, I'm dying of thirst. Chu Chu entered the room with a big grin, went straight to the table and sat down, and then began to take out things from his arms one by one, all kinds of things, large and small, long and short...... In a few moments, a "hill" had already formed on the table.
Garner handed the glass of water and asked strangely, "Girl, what are you doing here?"
Chu Chu took the water cup and poured it down, looking thirsty, the water cup bottomed out in an instant, she handed the water cup back to Ghana, "Another glass." β
Garner filled her with water again and handed it over, "Sister, why are you going, thirsty like this, slow down, don't choke." β
After drinking two glasses of water, Chu Chu felt much better, and then looked at Garner with a smile and said, "Mr. Garner, look at how many good things I have bought you." After speaking, she seemed to suddenly remember something, and said mysteriously, "Guess, who I saw at the auction today?"
"Who?" asked Garner, in a mysterious tone, in line with her look.
"Godfather. β
"Hmm. β
Chu Chu was stunned. "Ghana, you big villain, you actually took advantage of me. β
Garner laughed, "Okay, okay, no more trouble." Immediately after, he asked, "What are the masters doing there?"
Chu Chu is a little girl in the end, so she coaxed, and immediately threw herself into the initial topic, saying, "Godfather also went to the auction, guess what, what did he shoot?"
Garner suddenly looked strange, "Could it be...... Black Jade Intermittent Ointment?"
"Clever. Chu Chu nodded solemnly. "Godfather may have heard about the rumors in the city in the past few days, and he actually spent a lot of money to personally go to the auction house to buy a box of black jade intermittent cream. β
"He didn't know it was the source you provided, and no one on the exchange told him?" asked Garner, surprised.
Well, he didn't know that there was a strict confidentiality system in the exchange, and even if they were close relatives, no one could leak any personal information without the permission of the person who provided the source of goods, otherwise, they would be spurned by both the buyer and the seller, and they would not even be able to gain a foothold in this line of work. Chu Chu said.
"You said he paid a lot of money for it, but how much did it cost?" asked Garner, curious.
Chu Chu didn't speak, put down the cup he was holding, stretched out his right hand, spread his five fingers, and looked at Garner expressionlessly.
"Fifty...... Wan?" Garner jumped up and looked at Chu Chu in disbelief, "You said that the high master spent 500,000 gold coins to buy the black jade intermittent cream?"
Chu Chu nodded slowly.
"I remember you said that the Connor family's annual tax revenue is almost as good as buying a three-rank pill. β
Chu Chu was puzzled and nodded again.
"Look what it is. Garner took out the delicate box left by Mo Yan and handed it to Chu Chu.
"This ...... This isβ", Chu Chu's eyes widened, with a look of surprise and dazedness. "How can you have this kind of box, this is the box that the elder in the exchange personally configured for the seven pills set this time. β
Since Mo Yan left, Garner had never opened the box, although he knew that it contained an elixir that could change a cultivator's physique, but he didn't know what it was?
The exquisite box itself is not an ordinary thing, there are three layers inside and outside, and the mechanism is like a spring, if it is not forced to open it, I am afraid that the things contained in it have been destroyed.
Chu Chu took the box and skillfully opened the three layers of outer wraps one by one, and suddenly his eyes lit up, only to see a black pill lying quietly in it.
"Mr. Garner, I have sold out of the seven black jade intermittent creams today, where did you get this box from?" Chu Chu looked at Garner strangely, very puzzled.
Garner smiled wryly and said, "If I say it's from a high master, do you believe it or not?"
"What?" Chu Chu jumped up from his chair and asked in disbelief, "You said this was given to you by your godfather?"
"Hmm. β
"No way. Chu Chu shook his head again and again, "Even Conseil, it is impossible to have such treatment, let alone you?"
Garner was not angry at Chu Chu's contempt for himself, but smiled and said, "The facts are in front of you." β
"Really...... Is it really from your godfather?" Chu Chu was surprised to find that Garner was not joking.
"How?" asked Garner.
"This ...... I don't know. Chu Chu shook his head.
At today's auction, all seven pills have been sold out, but now, what was sold has actually returned?
Garner didn't have a good way to deal with it for a while, so he looked at Chu Chu helplessly and said, "Sister, you can transfer the things to the high master on my behalf, thank him for me, and I will intercede." β
Chu Chu was embarrassed to hold the box, and it was not possible to take it, nor was it to take it. She has been familiar with Garner's character in the past few days, don't look at him all day long, he looks indifferent all day long, in fact, he is very principled in his bones, take these things as an example, with his current friendship with Mo Yan, as long as he asks for a few decent martial arts books, there is no problem at all, but he never says a word, and he never asks for anything else.
He has his self-esteem, he is defending Xiao Mo's dignity? All this, Chu Chu doesn't understand, perhaps, only God knows.
"By the way, when the master left, he said that I had achieved the rank of quasi-knight, I don't know what's going on?" Garner may have deliberately diverted the topic and asked, "Why don't I feel anything at all?"
Chu Chu didn't seem to want to dwell too much on this issue anymore, and said, "No, you have just completed the training of the intermediate stage of the quasi-knight, and the training in the advanced stage is more difficult than the intermediate stage, and it is impossible to achieve it overnight." β
"Could it be that the master is wrong?" said Garner, puzzled.
"Hmm......" Chu Chu thought for a while, and said suspiciously, "It stands to reason that it is impossible to be wrong with the strength of the godfather, is it ......?"
"What?" asked Ghana.
"Could it be that you have really entered the advanced level of a quasi-knight?" Chu Chu looked at Garner suspiciously, "I was told by you just now, I seem to really think that you are different now than a few days ago." β
"How is it different?"
"It's hard to say, it feels like ...... Well...... It's like you're standing in front of me right now, I can see you, I can touch you, but I can't feel your presence. Chu Chu had a blank look on his face, and what he said was a little strange.
"Natural fusion...... Garner also had a blank look on his face, and gradually forgot about it, and after a while, the red air filled his body.
