Chapter Twenty-Nine: False Threats
"In Xia Yiheng, he is just an ordinary person." Yi Heng's expression was faint, obviously he didn't mean to communicate in depth.
He was just a little surprised, this shop turned out to be the Zhou family's industry?
If what he expected was correct, the Zhou family in Xu Tian's mouth should be the Zhou family, one of the top ten innate families in Yuangu Town.
Although there are more than 300 congenital families in the entire Yuangu Town, the family surnamed Zhou is the only one.
According to rumors.
This Zhou family is the strongest congenital family with the most hope of being promoted to become the sixth largest family in Yuangu Town.
Compared with the other nine top innate families, this Zhou family, whether it is financial resources or force, seems to be unbeatable, if it weren't for the fact that there is no strong person in the Transformation Source Realm in the clan, I am afraid that it would have been able to sit on an equal footing with the other five giants.
The reason why Yi Heng was surprised was because considering some cooperation plans in the future, he had sent someone to pay attention to this Zhou family these days.
However, because of today's incident, he was already a little disappointed in the Zhou family.
Even a small shopkeeper dared to be so arrogant, and the dignified shop manager was so black-hearted, he didn't believe that the Zhou family would be any better.
Seeing Yi Heng's lack of interest and unintentional deep friendship, Xu Tian couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
Maybe it's a pity that I missed such an opportunity to make friends with the children of wealthy families.
Here's the thing.
Yi Heng didn't stay any longer.
As soon as he said goodbye, he left vigorously.
Then he wandered leisurely on the bustling streets, there was not much leisure time like this, these days he had been thinking about making money, thinking about cultivation, and thinking about the formation of Xingyuan Pavilion.
It's quite busy, indeed.
"Xiao Heng?" He was wandering around, but an acquaintance walked across from him, with some complicated looks on his face.
It was a pretty woman of sixteen or seventeen years old, with a maid ring and a guard following her, obviously not low.
The woman's face is delicate, her skin is like snow, wrapped in a yellow tights, her bumpy figure is particularly eye-catching, and the three thousand soft green silk hangs down in the ear and naturally drifts back, and there is a trace of sassy air between the eyebrows.
"Sister Qingshuang, long time no see." Yi Heng greeted with a smile.
The pretty woman is obviously Hu Qingshuang, his eldest brother's childhood sweetheart, and the sister-in-law he has long identified in his heart.
Although Hu Dong's two families are now interested in marrying and want to promote Hu Qingshuang and Dong Fu, but with him, it is obviously impossible for Hu Dong to marry.
"Well, I haven't seen you in over a month." Hu Qingshuang nodded slightly, her expression was obviously a little unnatural, obviously because of the marriage between Hu Dong's two families, she also felt very bitter.
Now the entire Qingshi Village also knows about it, and the rumors are boiling.
"Your eldest brother, he...... Are you okay? How is he doing now? She couldn't help but ask.
As soon as Yi Kun was mentioned, her beautiful eyes involuntarily revealed a strong sense of concern, and she couldn't hide it at all.
"He's okay, and it's going to get better and better." Yi Heng said truthfully.
Hu Qingshuang nodded slightly, but his mood was obviously a little low: "Xiao Heng, you should know about that matter, I went to find your eldest brother, but he didn't want to, what do you think I should do?" ”
Compared with the family's obstruction, she actually cared more about whether Yi Kun really gave up.
She knew that Yi Kun didn't want to drag her down, and the family also thought that the current Yi Kun was no longer worthy of her, after all, she was the heavenly lady of the innate family.
"With my eldest brother's current situation, I'm afraid he won't change his decision easily." Yi Heng said softly.
Hearing this, Hu Qingshuang couldn't help but feel sad and powerless, and his pitiful helpless appearance was very pitiful.
Yi Heng didn't say anything to comfort, there were some things he didn't want to say much, especially for feelings, and it was about his eldest brother's emotions.
He prefers to let his eldest brother deal with it himself, and whether they can finally come together depends on their own creation.
The only thing he can do now.
is to find a way to cure the eldest brother as soon as possible and be the most solid backing for the eldest brother.
But he didn't want Hu Qingshuang to lose hope, after all, the two brothers still had an agreement.
He continued: "Sister Qingshuang, my eldest brother said, if you want, please give him another two and a half months, he will work hard and will not back down." ”
"He also said that escaping is not the way, he is willing to fight for you!"
"Your eldest brother, he...... Did he really say that? Hu Qingshuang was suddenly shocked, both surprised and delighted.
Yi Heng smiled and nodded, "He also said that he never thought of giving up, never." ”
"He's just defending his dignity in his own way, and to prove to you that he can still stand up! He can also protect you and guard you as he once did. ”
"He just needs a little time now, not much, two and a half months."
Hu Qingshuang suddenly cried with joy and choked up: "I know...... I knew he wouldn't give up, he wouldn't, I believed in him, I always believed in him. ”
"Xiao Heng, thank you for telling me this today." Hu Qing's eyes were blurred with tears, and he sincerely thanked him.
She obviously thought that Yi Kun refused to elope with her at that time, but in fact, she had a plan, just to surprise her.
I have to say that a woman in love is indeed easy to fool.
Seeing this, Yi Heng also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister Qingshuang said with a smile, you and my eldest brother are a match made in heaven, and we have long regarded you as a family, how can there be any thanks?"
Hu Qingshuang's face was slightly red, and he smiled and nodded, obviously acquiescing.
"So if you believe my eldest brother, then rest assured and be patient,"
"Uh-huh!"
……
When it was close to dusk, Yi Heng returned home, and Liu Yun also came back, and was about to go into the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Looking at his mother's non-stop busy figure, Yi Heng felt both warm and inexplicably distressed.
Since the eldest brother is seriously ill, my mother has been worried about fatigue every day, and she is already physically and mentally exhausted, only in her early thirties.
In order to make money desperately, he has been fighting with demon beasts for many years, and he has long practiced the heroic spirit of a woman who does not let her eyebrows go.
This is the force of life, and it is also the power of mother's love.
In the courtyard, Yi Kun was playing with his third sister Yi Xiaofei.
"Xiao Heng, why did you come back so quickly today?" Yi Kun, who was accustomed to Yi Heng usually going home on time, couldn't help but be a little surprised, Yi Heng was an hour ahead of schedule today.
Yi Heng smiled and said, "Because I have something to tell you, I will come back early." ”
As he spoke, he pushed Yi Kun in a wheelchair into the room and beckoned Liu Yun to come over.
Then, under the shocked gaze of the two, the source stones of the entire five hundred white flowers were placed on the table.
"Xiao Heng, you earned so many source stones in the past few days?" Liu Yun exclaimed, with a look of disbelief on her face, and a trace of ecstasy in her eyes.
Although Yi Heng recently took out at least thirty source stones every night when he came back and handed them to his family, the remaining time of the repayment period was too short, and he was originally a little worried that he would not be able to repay the money before the deadline arrived.
Even if Yi Heng has always sworn that he will be able to.
But I still can't help but feel apprehensive.
Until this moment!
"Of course yes, I said a long time ago that I will be able to pay off the arrears on time, so I should believe it, right?" Yi Heng said with a smile, his delicate face was full of a sense of achievement.
"In addition, since I have performed well recently, I have now been promoted to an intermediate alchemy apprentice, and I can earn more money in the future."
For Yi Kun and Liu Yun's shock, he was not the slightest surprised.
Hearing his affirmative answer, Liu Yun immediately cried with joy.
These five hundred source stones, plus more than three hundred at home, can not only pay off the huge amount of arrears, but also have more than two hundred source stones left, which can buy better medicines for Yi Kun to treat.
When the time comes, it will naturally get better quickly.
Although Yi Kun in the wheelchair on the side did not speak, his body trembled slightly, indicating that he was excited and unspeakable at this time.
Although Yi Heng has given him a lot of confidence these days, he is still nervous and still does not have much confidence.
But now, he is clearly more confident.
At the same time, he also secretly looked forward to what Yi Heng promised when he made the agreement.
Although more than two hundred source stones could not enable him to purchase precious medicinal materials that were enough to heal, at least he could get the initial healing effect, and he did not have to work hard to maintain it without seeing any hope like before.
There is no greater mourning than the death of the heart.
As long as there is a glimmer of hope, who is willing to live this life?
The source stones of the pile of white flowers made Liu Yun and Yi Kun see the hope of a better life.
But that's not all.
Yi Heng casually took out two high-level mortal soldiers and two primary storage bags.
"Xiao Heng, did you buy these?" Liu Yun was taken aback again.
"yes, I thought you should be able to use it, so I bought it when I came back in the afternoon." Yi Heng replied with a natural expression.
As soon as these words came out, the corners of Liu Yun's mouth twitched slightly.
This is a high-level mortal soldier!
And there are storage bags, just buy it?
She is also very eager to have this kind of equipment.
After all, so far, the weapons she and Yi Minghai have are only middle-level mortal soldiers, and as for the storage bags, they usually rent them at the Qingshi Wutang Trade Office.
These things add up, to say the least, there are three hundred source stones.
That's 300 source stones!
More than 95 percent of ordinary people will not even be able to have such a huge amount of wealth in their lifetime.
If they could save so many source stones, not only would Yi Kun be able to get better healing medicines, but they would also have enough source stones for cultivation.
With his and Yi Minghai's current cultivation, maybe there will be a chance to impact the next realm.
Looking at the high-level mortal soldiers and junior storage bags in front of him, Liu Yun was shocked and couldn't help but feel a little painful at the same time.
Yi Heng obviously also saw Liu Yun's entanglement.
"These equipment at least allow you and your dad to increase their combat power to a higher level, and you can also have an extra guarantee when you go out to hunt monsters or perform tasks in the future, hundreds of source stones are really nothing, I can earn it once, and naturally I can earn it a second time."
"And in the future, when I become a real alchemist, it will be easier to make money, so don't worry about this money."
That being said, high-level mortal soldiers and storage bags are too luxurious for Liu Yun.
"Xiao Heng, my mother knows that you can make money now, but you must also remember to be thrifty." She said softly.
"The world of martial artists is unpredictable, no one knows which one will come first, there are more source stones, you can save them in case of emergency, although these high-level mortal soldiers and storage bags are good, but for us, it is still a little too expensive."
She has been accustomed to a hard life for so many years, and she is a little uncomfortable to have such good equipment all of a sudden.
Although Yi Heng was full of confidence, it seemed that earning hundreds of source stones was not a difficult task for him, but Liu Yun would not think so.
She would only feel that Yi Heng was making money too smoothly these days, which caused her mentality to swell.
To put it bluntly, she felt that Yi Heng was a little floating.
How hard it is for source stones to earn, she knows very well.
This time, it was for the guidance of Du Lao that he had the opportunity to earn so many source stones in a short time.
But such a good thing, how could Du Lao leave it to Yi Heng again and again.
In her opinion, Yi Heng had been carried away by his short-lived achievements.
She has experienced too much of the hardships of these years.
We know that there is no such thing as a free lunch!
How difficult it is to make money, she naturally understands it deeply.
Liu Yun continued softly: "And you have to know that such an expensive object is generally only owned by the peak masters of the Ninefold Quenching Body Realm, and your father and I are only Eightfold Quenching Realm martial artists, if we hold high-level mortal soldiers and storage bags, it is somewhat abrupt, and it may also arouse the covetousness of others, do you understand this truth?" ”
The so-called puff is not guilty, but he is guilty.
This truth is for martial artists in this world.
Absolute truth!
This kind of thing happens a lot, a lot, every day.
Liu Yun was kind and seductive, she didn't want to hit Yi Heng, but she also didn't want Yi Heng to encounter any sinister things in the world because of her conceit.
This time, Yi Heng bought them some high-level mortal soldiers and storage bags, but it was nothing.
But what about next time?
Or is he himself out there and doesn't know how to restrain himself?
If he is targeted by someone with a heart, with his waste-like source martial arts cultivation, I am afraid that he will not even be able to protect himself.
Yi Heng seemed to understand Liu Yun's worries in his heart.
He smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry, I understand that the so-called wealth is not exposed, I understand this truth." ”
"Although you keep these equipment, you don't necessarily have to use them in normal times, but as you said, the world of martial artists is in crisis, and if you have a better weapon in hand, you can also improve your self-protection power."
"You can make more money when the source stone is gone, and having a better guarantee is the most important thing, isn't it?"
Yi Heng's expression was sincere, and Liu Yun couldn't help but look at him in surprise.
During this time, he felt that Yi Heng seemed to have changed a lot, as if he had grown all of a sudden, becoming more mature and calmer.
When something good happened before, Yi Heng always looked excited and excited.
But what about now?
He seems to possess a maturity and stability far beyond his age.
"Okay." Liu Yun compromised.
Since she bought everything, she couldn't say anything.
It's really not good, and when the source stones are gone, it's okay to take these equipment to the pawnshop to exchange for some source stones.
After all, as long as these things are not damaged, they still retain their value.
Moreover, what Yi Heng said just now was right, with a high-level mortal soldier in hand, even if she only had the early stage cultivation of the Eightfold Quenching Realm, he was confident that she would have a battle with the middle stage of the Eightfold Quenching Realm, or even the late stage masters.
"Xiao Heng, you have to thank Du Lao, he has given you such a great benefit, you have to remember this kindness, you must not live up to his old man's expectations of you, you know?" Liu Yun did not forget to advise.
In her opinion, all this was given by Du Lao, so she naturally had to be grateful to Dade.
"I understand that I will work hard to cultivate, study the way of alchemy, and strive to become a real alchemist as soon as possible, so as to repay the kindness of Elder Du." Yi Heng smiled and nodded.
continued: "Let Daddy go and pay off the arrears tomorrow, the remaining source stones will be collected by Mom, you can use it when it should be used, there is no need to save, and the eldest brother's medicine should be changed for a better one." ”
"Xiao Heng, thank you for your hard work." Yi Kun was pleased.
"My Xiaoheng has grown up and is sensible." Liu Yun was also very pleased.
Yi Heng smiled shyly, and then said: "By the way, I won't eat dinner at home, I still have to get together with a few partners who are refining medicine together, and I won't come back tonight." ”
"Well, don't worry."
"Learn more from others, you know?"
“…”
……
Tonight, Xingyuan Pavilion held a banquet, and he naturally couldn't be absent.
It was close to seven o'clock in the evening, when he returned to the Xingyuan Pavilion, and at this time, the manor was brightly lit, and the banquet square was a lively scene.
When everyone saw Yi Heng, they all saluted respectfully.
There was still half an hour before the banquet began, and he quickly came to the cultivation room.
Zhao Hu and a sevenfold innate realm powerhouse were already waiting outside the door.
"You are at the door, and no one is to come near and disturb you." Yi Heng took a storage bag from Zhao Hu's hand, then gave an order, and walked into the cultivation room alone with anticipation.
Take advantage of this free time to dispose of these demon beasts that were arranged to be captured this afternoon.
