Chapter 138, Plain Style
The next day, early in the morning.
2nd floor of the hotel, dining area.
Ye Yan, who was sleepy-eyed and sloppy, and Liu Han, who was in a suit and leather shoes, and was in good spirits, sat opposite each other and ate breakfast together.
Looking at the food on Ye Yan's plate, Liu Han's expression was slightly puzzled: "Ye Zi, do you eat these things for breakfast?" β
There was very little food on Ye Yan's plate, a hard-boiled egg, two bacon rolls, and a small bowl of oatmeal porridge...... and a little soaked pepper.
Not to mention a strong young man, this share of food can't even feed a girl.
"I'm not hungry, just deal with it."
Ye Yan yawned, obviously not recovering from that half-asleep state.
For a snooze, getting out of bed every morning can be very difficult.
Just as the two were talking.
In the distance, a waiter in an open-collared shirt stood in the distance and looked at the two of them from a distance, and only after a moment approached with a small package.
"Excuse me, may I ask who is Mr. Ye Yan?"
The young waiter's gaze wandered over Ye Yan and Liu Han.
Hearing this, Ye Yan raised his head blankly and looked at the waiter standing at the table.
"I am ......"
"That's right, Mr. Ye, here's a package for you, which was just delivered this morning, with no signature and address on it, only one Ye Yan received...... Do you think this is yours? β
The waiter put the package in front of Ye Yan, looking at the package, Ye Yan's eyes were even more confused.
I don't seem to be shopping online.
Could it be that Xia He bought him something? But although Xia He knew that he was in Shudi, he shouldn't know the specific address......
Address.
At the mention of this word, Ye Yan suddenly seemed to remember something, and he was much more sober.
He turned his head to the waiter standing next to him and asked, "By the way, which courier sent this package from?" β
"I don't know, the person who sent the courier is wearing a work uniform, a person dressed as a village girl...... If I'm not mistaken, it should be a coarse cloth shirt, a ball head, a heavy blush, and a stiff walking posture......"
The waiter thought about it and described the person's appearance to Ye Yan...... It also made Ye Yan more sure that the person who sent him the package was Ma Xianhong.
"I see, thank you."
Ye Yan smiled at the young waiter.
"Okay, if there's anything going on, I won't disturb the two of you eating."
After confirming that the package belonged to Ye Yan, the young waiter didn't stay long, and quickly disappeared from Ye Yan and Liu Han's sight.
After he left, Liu Hancai, who had already dazzled a large plate of ham fried rice, and his mouth was full of oil flowers, poked his head curiously and looked at Ye Yan.
"Yezi, did you buy something online? The speed of this delivery is quite fast. β
I don't know what to call him, but he is still sighing that the mail speed of this package is very fast. The two of them only stayed at the hotel last night, and the things arrived this morning.
That's a lot of power, that's pretty good.
Regarding Ma Xianhong's matter, Ye Yan did not mean to reveal it to outsiders.
He replied casually: "No, it's just something mailed by a friend, and the address filled in is a collection point outside, but their service is pretty good, and it will be delivered directly to the hotel......"
Ye Yan gave a vague explanation.
"Then this service is really good, this must be given a five-star review."
"Hmm."
Liu Han on the side didn't think much about it, and after nodding, he continued to bury his head in breakfast.
The box is placed in the corner of the table.
Where to put it quietly.
Although he didn't move, he had already aroused all of Ye Yan's curiosity, as if there was a kitten scratching constantly.
Stared at the box for a long time.
Ye Yan finally couldn't suppress his curiosity, so he simply put down his chopsticks.
Compared with breakfast, it was obviously something sent by Ma Xianhong that was more curious.
Ye Yan held the palm-sized box in the palm of his hand, but he was also guessing in his heart that there might be something in the box.
Although there is no small tool such as a dismantling knife, a layer of plastic and two layers of tape outside the packaging can't stop a stranger.
In the place where he couldn't see it, Ye Yan condensed the wisps of black Qi and wrapped it around his fingertips.
The black qi is hidden in the fingernail, like a small blade, cutting the tape closure little by little.
His movements are not hidden, and can even be said to be above board, but from the perspective of outsiders, it is Ye Yan who is unwrapping with his fingernails.
Completely unnoticed.
Even Liu Han, who was concentrating on dealing with food on the other side, didn't notice Ye Yan's actions.
It can be seen.
As the package was unwrapped, a small rosewood box came into view.
This mahogany box is beautiful and small, but the material is very ordinary, that is, on the street stall, ten yuan can buy a pocket of cheap goods, not surprising.
However, what attracted Ye Yan's attention the most was the horizontal and vertical embroidered gold threads on its surface, and there were faint fluctuations on the gold threads.
"Artifact?"
After looking at it a few times, Ye Yan's eyes couldn't help revealing a little different color.
If he hadn't looked away, this ordinary wooden box was a magic weapon, a magic weapon refined from ordinary objects.
The golden thread should be a formation, maintaining the core of this mahogany box and preventing the wooden box from being easily opened.
Although Ye Yan is not a refiner, he does not have a deep understanding of this profession.
But I haven't eaten pork, I haven't seen a pig run, and I have also been in contact with Ye Yan, Yuan Tao, Zhao Quan and other refiners.
For any refiner, refining or making tools requires a lot of complicated and tedious preparations in advance.
Material, analysis, direction, fusion, any step is indispensable.
But the means by which ordinary items can be refined into magic weapons, Ye Yan is also not ordinary.
Now, he has determined that Ma Xianhong should be the inheritor of the Hundred Refinements of the Divine Machine.
Except for the person who carried the refining tool, Ye Yan really couldn't think of any other means to transform an ordinary cheap wooden box into a magic weapon without relying on materials and assistance.
ββ¦β¦β
All things can be refined. It's interesting, it's so interesting.
The smile on Ye Yan's face was even worse.
If Ye Yan was only slightly curious before, then after seeing the mahogany box, Ye Yan's curiosity about Ma Xianhong couldn't be stopped.
Since there was this layer of protection, Ye Yan didn't do anything, but carefully put away the small wooden box.
Ye Yan's specialty is funeral and dry racking, and he doesn't know anything in the field of refining weapons and formations.
There is a specialization in the art industry.
In this case, Ye Yan did not intend to forcibly cross the realm and open this small wooden box.
For professional things, it is more realistic to find professional people to be responsible.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
An hour later.
Tangmen Martial Arts School.
Empty meeting room.
Ye Yan, Liu Han, and the old lion Tang Miao sat together and drank tea.
"Xiao Ye, Gao Nan I have already asked someone to call, but coming from the back mountain, even if it is fast, it will take a while, you and Xiao Liu have a sip of tea first."
"This tea is self-picked and planted in our compound, and it is very fresh, you can taste it."
Although the old lion Tang Miaoxing is fierce and his personality is not very good, he can't find too many faults in receiving people and things.
Hearing this, Ye Yan, who was looking around, also hurriedly came back to his senses.
He raised his head and smiled apologetically at Tang Miaoxing, and then picked up the teacup and took a very symbolic sip.
Taking a sip of bitter tea into his throat, Ye Yan's brows furrowed slightly, but they were immediately covered by the bright smile that appeared on his face.
"I said old man, it's been a few years, and our living room is still the same as I remember."
"Over the years, I've been wandering outside for a long time, what Chinese and Western styles, and overseas styles have been seen all over, but if you want to talk about style, it has to be our style that makes people remember it well."
As he spoke, Ye Yan turned his head again and looked at the living room that overlapped with his impression.
The style of the Karamon reception room is one that borders on a blank slate.
There are no luxurious decorations, no famous painting screens, and the empty and huge living room is directly converted from a student classroom. Except for a few square tables, a few hospitality chairs, and portraits of students on the walls, nothing else can be found.
Even, even at this moment, the tea in the cup that Ye Yan and the others drank was self-grown and picked farmhouse tea in the compound......
Of course, the simple style is also a more euphemistic statement.
To put it bluntly, just one word,
Poor!
As soon as Ye Yan's words came out, the old lion on the side also put down the teacup and looked at Ye Yan coldly,
"Fresh in the memory? Which one still remembers it vividly? The poor ones are still fresh in people's minds. Going around in such a big circle, just to say such a sentence, you are not too tired to panic? β
"It's only been a few years since I left the martial arts school, and I'm so philistine, I can't even tell the truth."
"Old man, when I say this style, I don't mean anything else, it's pure, it's just that you think too much about yourself......"
Hearing Ye Yan's words, Tang Miaoxing shook his head, and his eyes were also lonely,
"Whether you say it or not, poor is poor, in the final analysis, it's still me, an old man, I don't have the ability to bring the Tang Sect up......"
When the words fell, the fierce old lion couldn't help but sigh and look gloomy.
On the side, Ye Yan couldn't help but be silent.
He also understands the mood of the old lion, as well as the situation and encounter of the Tang Gate.
Traps, hidden weapons, poisonous miasma.
Before the advent of the new era, Tangmen was also a leader in that era and had a great reputation.
Assassination, poisoning...... Whenever they encounter an enemy and buy a dirty job like murder, the first thing that comes to most people's minds is Tangmen.
But as the world becomes more and more peaceful, the Inhuman circle is also gradually regulated under the company's rectification. Buying homicide is a thing of the past, breaking the rules...... The originally famous Tang Gate gradually declined.
Some of the old inheritance sects have also changed their old ideas and tried to open up other industries to support their own sects, so that their own sects would not be gradually submerged in the great waves of the times.
Like Dragon and Tiger Mountain, the Four Great ...... Now they are the three major families, which belong to the torrent of the times, the leaders of successful transformation, and stand at the peak of the alien circle.
And Tangmen, because of the interference of itself and external factors, several industrial transformations have failed, and finally they can only be forced to establish a martial arts school...... With the golden sign of Tangmen, it faces the public and feeds the disciples.
But even so,
The situation of the Tang Sect is still not very good, although it has barely kept its inheritance, it is still unable to make ends meet in terms of funds.
If there is no company's help, I am afraid that this huge Tang Gate would have been submerged by the rolling torrent.
Just like in the early years, when Ye Yan came to Shu alone, without any introduction, he entered the martial arts school, and also came into contact with the core figure of the Tang Sect, the refiner - Gao Nan.
There is no other reason, but Ye Yan generously donated a sum of money to Tangmen to repair the school building.
It can be seen how tight the Tang Sect was in terms of funds at that time.
And now, it's not much better.
Even the last Luo Tian Dajiao, Tang Wenlong would choose to participate, in fact, he also wanted to make a name for the martial arts school, so that the Tang Sect could recruit more new students.
But in the end, he still chose to help Ye Yan and gave up the quota to Zhang Chulan.
This point, Ye Yan also learned about the situation in the chat with Tang Wenlong later.
Thinking of this, Ye Yan's mood couldn't help but feel a little heavier.
"Old man, the last time Wenlong's incident was inappropriate, and I discredited the martial arts school."
"I'm sorryβ"
Ye Yan's words were sincere.
If, if he knew that Tang Wenlong had such a purpose in participating in Luo Tiandajiao, then he would definitely not open his mouth and let Tang Wenlong help him.
No matter what the outcome of the final win or loss is, he will not feel as guilty as he does now.
"Hmph, you kid still have a little conscience."
Hearing this, the old lion put down the teacup and waved his hand casually: "Okay, it's just such a small, it's worth bringing it out and saying." β
"Besides, with his three-legged cat ability, even if he doesn't admit defeat, Wenlong may not be able to win him. I watched the final final, and it was really worthy of the surname Zhang...... And his grandfather has a sex. β
"Old man Gao Yi."
Ye Yan arched his hand, and his words were half joking and half serious: "But no matter what, I owe Wenlong and Tangmen a personal favor for the last time." β
"If this mission can be successfully concluded, I will send Tangmen a cooperation, which can be regarded as making up for the losses you suffered last time."
"Cooperation? What can you send to cooperate? β
Hearing this, the old lion couldn't help but sneer: "I think your kid is strong, but what kind of cooperation can you take with a lonely person......
Regarding the cooperation in Ye Yan's mouth, the old lion Tang Miaoxing obviously didn't get the point.
In his opinion, although Ye Yan has the reputation of a hero...... The strength is also recognized in the circle.
But after all, he is just a person, and he has no inheritance and power of his own. Although it is backed by the company, it doesn't seem to have any right to speak, at most it is an ace in the company.
Hearing this, Ye Yan smiled: "Your old eye sockets are shallow, aren't they." Come here first, and I'll tell you what kind of opportunity it is. β
"Then I'll listen."
Idle is also idle, seeing Ye Yan's confident appearance, the old lion also plans to see what kind of medicine is sold in Ye Yan's gourd.
He whispered to him.
Ye Yan whispered something.
Listening to this, the eyes of the old lion, who were originally calm, gradually widened.
"What you say is true?"
"Of course it's true...... It's not adulterated at all, but the prerequisites have also told you, as for whether it can be done, it depends on whether you give it or not. β
"Think about it."
Ye Yan slowly picked up the teacup and took two sips leisurely. On the side, the old lion had complicated eyes.
It's like thinking about something.
As the two were talking, there was a knock on the door of the reception room, and a voice was heard.
