Volume 3 The Source of Collapse Chapter 2 Lighting the Autumn Lantern

"Su Lao is too worried, I am not a person who does not care about the face of the family, this time it is also my father's intention, my father promised that if I can stand out on my cousin's side, he will agree to let me take charge of the family artifact!"

Liu Dongchen knew what the other party was thinking, it was nothing more than that he was afraid that he would be unhappy and let the family take the blame, he was not stupid to such a point, this is equivalent to his base camp, and he won't mess around with anything.

"Family artifacts!? This... No way! The young master is waiting for me to contact the head of the family! ”

Xing Su's shocked color was overflowing, if this was the case, then it was even more impossible for him to let Liu Dongchen pass, he had been a housekeeper in this criminal family for thousands of years, after more than ten generations of family heads, he had never heard of anyone who could resonate with the family ancient artifact, Xing Yan's girl was also the one who controlled the family's ancient skills and was so against the sky, if Liu Dongchen could control the ancient artifact, wouldn't it be a two-pronged approach? Such an extraordinary posture must not be left outside.

"Su Lao, now I am the head of the family!"

Liu Dongchen had a straight face, he knew that he would not say anything, he just wanted to reassure the other party, after all, this guy has watched himself grow up since he was a child, and he has helped him a lot, he has already treated the other party as an uncle, and his father also told him that he can discuss with the other party if there is anything, otherwise he will definitely pass quietly.

"Young master, alas."

Xing Su looked at Liu Dongchen's fair little face, glared at himself angrily, and suddenly thought of the appearance of the old master, these two people have similar tempers and don't listen to other people's advice.

"Okay, Su Lao, I didn't mean to embarrass you, I was afraid of embarrassing you, so I told you the truth, since it was canonized by my cousin personally, I believe it won't be long to hide, you can release the news, and give a small gift to each of the three major families to show my attitude."

Liu Dongchen touched his chin, the enemy did not move, he could go first, if they met in the future, they should all save some face for themselves.

"That's a good idea, but I think it should be postponed for a few days."

Xing Su was helpless, he knew that he couldn't persuade Liu Dongchen anymore, so he simply helped to give advice to avoid embarrassing situations.

"Why?"

Liu Dongchen was puzzled, and if he delayed it for a few days, he missed the opportunity, which seemed to be an afterthought.

"Young master, I don't understand this art of war, but I know a lot about things between this family, before the imperial court envoy came to tell us, it must have been profited from it, the three major families can't not know, the three major families in the Ten Thousand Seas Maze City belong to the Li family is the most free, most of them will not scruple about anything, recently I heard that the Baili family and the Zhu family have begun to collect talents, presumably they are already preparing, why not take this opportunity..."

The meaning of Xing Su is already obvious, as long as they take advantage of the other two major families to recruit talents, then they can go over with peace of mind, those children of the Li family are very self-disciplined, and they are much better than those casual cultivators outside who may have conflicts at any time, and with the help of the Li family, they should also consider the feelings of the Li family if they want to move their side.

"Okay, according to what you said, but the other two families can also try, we just said verbally, before we go, we will give a small gift to avoid discrimination, and be careful not to sneak around, just let them know!"

"Okay, but... I'm afraid of no one if it goes on like this..."

Xing Su frowned, I'm afraid that no one will cooperate in the end, and it will become a one-on-one situation.

"Su Lao rest assured, this is the best, we have a chance to be suspicious of each other, this matter is set in half a month, first hurry up and inform my cousin, we will naturally get back the things we sent!"

Liu Dongchen sneered, they are probably still discussing countermeasures, while they haven't gone there to buy land yet, they can raise a wave of prices first, and they can also exclude many people at that time.

"I see! Haha, good! ”

Xing Su nodded, he finally knew what Liu Dongchen's purpose was, compared to making a big profit, the small gift he gave out was nothing, he had to admire, Liu Dongchen was indeed business-minded.

"Ouch, it's getting dark."

Liu Dongchen looked at the sun that had completely set, felt a little regretful, stretched his waist, and walked towards the punishment mansion under the mountain.

"Huh? Uncle, what is this? ”

Walking on the brightly lit streets, Liu Dongchen looked around at the surrounding scenery, there were no high-rise buildings, let alone cars and trains, some were just antique pavilions, and there were people wearing quaint robes coming and going, he had lived here for fifteen years, even so, he still yearned for this kind of life very much, this kind of life without technology is really reassuring and nostalgic.

"Haha, Childe, come and see, this is a single puppet."

The old man squatting on the ground looked at Liu Dongchen graceful and luxurious, with an extraordinary appearance, his waist-length long hair was tied back at will, and a happy smile appeared on his face, there had been no rich son to take care of his small place for a long time, and today was also lucky, I was thinking about packing up and going back, but I didn't expect the distinguished guest to come.

"Well, it's pretty chic."

Liu Dongchen squatted down and picked up a gadget on the stall, which looked like a wild boar, had no feet, and a piece of wood passed through his stomach, which seemed to be a toy for children.

"Childe really has a vision, this is a red-headed pig, an elite soldier of the beast clan, I worked as a border guard of the empire outside the Hundred Beast Forest for a few years, and I have seen this thing, they are tall and powerful!"

The old man excitedly introduced the origin of this thing to Liu Dongchen, which he made by himself, but the current children don't seem to like it very much.

"Then I want this, don't look for it."

Liu Dongchen took out a gold coin at random and put it in the old man's hand, and the frightened old man's face turned pale and he hurriedly got up.

"Childe, don't do it, this...."

The old man has lived for a lifetime, and he has only earned five gold coins, and this broken puppet is only worth three copper coins, and he was thankful that the other party gave him a silver coin, but he didn't expect to give a thing of this, and he didn't dare to accept it when he saw the dragon head mark printed on it, and a gold coin could be exchanged for ten silver coins and ten thousand copper coins.

"The young master is in a good mood today, uncle, you can accept it."

Xing Ling is Xing Su's grandson, and he has grown up with Liu Dongchen since he was a child, because he was originally a sideline, and in addition to his natural talent, he was favored by Xing Lie, and has always acted as Liu Dongchen's personal guard.

"But this..."

The old man was very embarrassed, this was too much, and it was enough for him to go back to retire.

"Okay, the young master is already willing to give, so he will regard it as an investment!"

Xing Ling didn't know what to say, so he could only paraphrase Liu Dongchen's words, this is called investment, not money.

"It's... Alas, thank you so much, Childe. ”

The old man squeezed the gold coin tightly and bowed with his fists in the direction of Liu Dongchen's return, he would remember this kindness.

"Yo, this young master, come and play, tonight is the day when you perform and record the wind."

Liu Dongchen was strolling down the street, and suddenly several women with heavy makeup surrounded him, causing many men to stop and watch.

"Huh? Xuanshuang? ”

Liu Dongchen turned his head suspiciously and looked at the torture spirit behind him, he rarely came to the street at night, and today he was also idle, thinking of walking around, his cultivation was too boring on weekdays, and he didn't have time to fool around like this, according to the past, he would have been dragged back by Xing Yan a long time ago.

"These are the women of the Heavenly Building, that is, the women of the Qinglou!"

The torture spirit whispered in Liu Dongchen's ear, their torture family is a figure with a head and a face in the entire immortal capital, and they must not go to this kind of place to fool around, if they accidentally leave a child or something, the face of the torture family will be lost.

"Ouch, young master, why is there an elegant place here, not to mention that tonight is the top talent show of our talents, only for show, if you don't believe it, you can ask everyone, why is this frost's talent, it's hard to find!"

The proprietress stood in the middle of those girls and told Liu Dongchen in detail, her ears are extremely sharp, and anyone who does this must be able to observe words and looks, this little master knows at a glance that he is an extremely rich son, this big fish can't be released like this.

"Really?"

Liu Dongchen glanced at everyone, these guys seemed to be children of nearby families, and many of them were disciples of the sect, and he wanted to hear everyone's evaluation.

"Of course, don't underestimate that frost, presumably Childe is also the first time to come, right? We're going to have to pay a lot of money to get in! ”

"Yes, alas, I knew to inquire, but I didn't expect to be charged for the second time."

"Be content, it's good to hear it once!"

“....”

From the beginning of the evaluation, it slowly turned into a jealousy, more and more people gathered over, and when they heard that Xuanshuang was going to perform, they all rushed to send money in, but the number of people in it was limited, and it could only accommodate thousands of people, and they were all characters with heads and faces in this maze of thousands of seas, and it was not easy for them to grab a position.

"Free for the first time?"

Liu Dongchen stared at the proprietress and listened to what they meant for the first time It seemed to be free, but he didn't expect this proprietress to be so good at doing business, and she knew that free was the most expensive.

"Of course, look at the autumn lantern over there, this entrance is just the beginning, if you want to talk to Miss Shuang'er alone, you must light up the autumn lantern!"

The proprietress pointed to the lantern hanging in the center of the building, under which was a thin wire tied to a small plate, and above which was another thin wire hanging the lantern in the air.

"Someone's lit the lamp!"

With a shout, I saw a man standing on the second floor and scattering gold coins on the small plate under the lantern, only one or two entered the small basin, and the lantern shook a few times, and the people below frantically scrambled for the gold coins that were scattered.

"Oh, that's what autumn lanterns mean."

Liu Dongchen looked at the lantern thoughtfully, the gold coins scattered looked like autumn leaves, and it seemed that they couldn't use any spiritual power depending on the situation, they could only throw it out casually, and they couldn't take back the money they scattered, no wonder so many people wanted to go in, it turned out that they wanted to make a fortune.

"Childe, what's going on?"

The proprietress glanced at the man who threw the gold coins, and saw that his face was full of pain and his expression was very disdainful. It's a dream!
