Put away the oil-paper umbrella, shake off the water droplets, tidy up the placket, find a place to sit down, and look at the situation of the firm.

For more than a year, the Lion Firm has changed a lot.

Most of the dazzling talisman counters in the past have been removed, replaced by all kinds of spirit grasses, pills, and jade slips, and so on.

Looking at its scale, it is not smaller than the original, and it is expected that there is a lot of hard work behind the operator.

Originally, Qingfeng observed that matter, and under the backlash of the people, the Lion Commercial Bank, which had a close relationship with it, would inevitably bear the brunt.

Fortunately, Mrs. Xia He was a sober person, and at the first time of the accident, she openly broke off the relationship with Qingfeng Guan, not only discounted all the talismans from Qingfeng Guan, but even donated a year's profits from the trading house to the people who were mutilated by the butcher on a rainy night, thus greatly reducing the impact of the trading house on the incident.

Subsequently, Mrs. Xia He finally maintained the current scale of the firm through various mediations and many means.

I have to say that this woman is also a business talent.

Not long after Ling Xiao sat down, a maid greeted him quickly and asked respectfully, "This guest, what do you need?" ”

Ling Xiao didn't deliberately show his cultivation, but the power he vaguely exuded was enough to be awe-inspiring!

"Sell some spirit grass, materials, and some other materials on this."

Ling Xiao took out the proposed note, handed it over, and discharged five rectangular boxes.

"Okay."

The maid took the note, glanced at it, and found that it was all talisman materials, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

In the last year or so, the talisman materials have been sold very little, and almost no one will ask for them.

After the death of Xuan Jizi, Lao Yu couldn't wait to jump out, claiming that he was defeated in the hands of Xuan Jizi at the beginning, because he was conspired by the magic knife to destroy the soul, and since then he has greatly expanded the talisman business in Huang Songcheng.

At that time, how could the people and monks manage so much?

Anyway, as long as you scold Qingfeng Guan and scold Xuanjizi, we are friends.

Lao Yu's plan easily succeeded, and now the recognized center of Fu Gong is in Huangsong City, in Laojiabao.

New talisman maker?

Such a thought flashed through the maid's mind, and subconsciously, she glanced at the appearance of the guest.

This glance made her stand on the spot!

I saw that this guest looked unremarkable, and he might not be able to find it in the pile of embarrassment, but he gave birth to a pair of unforgettable eyes, translucent, flashing with a quiet and wise light, which made his whole temperament add a bit of mystery.

Isn't this the same appearance that was hung at the door every day and was regarded as the signboard of the Lion Firm, the spokesperson of the talisman......

Ling Xiao!

"Ling ......"

The maid was taken aback, and couldn't help but take a step back, a little surprise in her eyes.

Since the Qingfeng Guan accident, this Ling Xiao has never shown up again, and everyone thought that he would not come out for the rest of his life, but he never expected that he would appear today?!

Ling Xiao looked back at the maid and said calmly, "Hello, hurry up." ”

"Uh...... Oh! ”

The maid quickly answered, but hesitated.

Ling Xiao's appearance has a different meaning for the Lion Firm, and she is hesitating whether to report the matter as soon as possible.

At this moment, another woman came quickly and said to her, "You go and help him get the materials first, and I'll entertain him." ”

As if she had been pardoned, the maid let out a sigh of relief and said, "Good! ”

She hurried to the storeroom, as if staying here for a moment would be torture.

Ling Xiao looked at the woman who came over, smiled slightly, and said, "Miss An'an, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

The person who came was An An.

I haven't seen her for more than a year, she has become more and more beautiful and moving, the shyness and shyness of the past have disappeared, replaced by a kind of calmness after experience, I have to say, she is becoming more and more like Mrs. Xia He.

"Long time no see."

An An replied calmly, but the words were a little hoarse, as if betraying her heart was not as calm as it seemed.

She sat down, silently opened the five boxes that Ling Xiao had brought, and looked at Ling Xiao out of the corner of her eye while appraising.

For more than a year, this man has changed a lot.

Although Ling Xiao had an old temperament, at least his face was young. But now, not only his temples are white, but even his eyebrows have two shallow wrinkles, and he looks like he is more than ten years old.

It's hard to imagine what kind of time he has spent in the past year.

At the same time, that powerful aura is even more amazing than in the past!

Outside the door, the drizzling rain did not stop as expected, but thundered and intensified.

An An'an was in a hurry, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The beginning of this rain is also the end of many people's lives.

On that day, the fate of countless people was changed.

Among them, including Ling Xiao.

Also included, Lion Comptoir.

An An gathered his thoughts and said, "A total of 700 spirit stones, wait for the materials to come back, and then see how to deduct them, return more and make up for less." ”

Ling Xiao nodded, a flash of appreciation flashing in his eyes.

She has really grown a lot, and she is no longer the shy and shy little girl who was about to shed tears when she was yelled at by the guests.

While waiting for the materials to be retrieved, there was silence between the two.

Ling Xiao tapped the table with his fingertips, making a clicking sound, as if he was time-keeping, and seemed to be passing the time, his eyes were staring at somewhere, but if he looked closely, he could only see nothingness.

He was in a daze.

An An made a footnote to Ling Xiao's behavior, and couldn't help but feel slightly lost.

He, isn't there anything he wants to ask?

One year, three months, three days, I haven't seen you.

But as soon as she thought of this, An An felt that her cheeks were a little hot again.

yes, what to ask?

The Lion Firm had already drawn a line with Qingfengguan and Ling Xiao, and for such a long time, Mrs. Xia He had never asked about Ling Xiao's situation, let alone sent anyone to visit.

What else is there to ask?

That's it, it's good.

At least, he was willing to come, and the two sides could still make ordinary deals.

Just let that thing be buried forever.

Regardless of whether it is right or wrong.

"An An!"

Nearby, another maid returned from fetching materials and was pushing her, waking her up from her thoughts.

"I'm sorry!"

An An smiled apologetically, took the list of materials, and said, "The total price of materials is 721 spirit stones, so it is considered ......."

Before the words fell, he saw that Ling Xiao had already pushed over 21 spirit stones.

An An wanted to erase the words of the fragment, but suddenly swallowed it back into his stomach, his heart seemed to tingle, and he silently watched Ling Xiao put away the materials and waved goodbye.

"Goodbye, Miss An'an."

Ling Xiao was still so polite, but An An clearly heard the faint detachment in those words.

An An pursed her lips, desperately restrained her slightly sour nose, and nodded: "Goodbye." ”

Ling Xiao looked at her expression and couldn't help but smile.

He didn't hold a grudge against the Lion Firm, but now he is burdened with endless infamy, and people have paid countless prices when they got rid of him, so how can he provoke him again?

We are destined to no longer be friends.

It's better to draw a clear line, so as not to fall into the truth.

He got up to leave, but inadvertently, he saw the curtain lift, and from behind, three people who were both familiar and strange to him walked out.

He was beaten at his feet.

The three of them also spotted him immediately, and their expressions were different for a moment.
