Chapter 9: Misunderstanding

After sending Brother Na out of the Treasure Pavilion, in the sound of Brother Na's "staying", Xie Mingyu stood at the door, watching Brother Na's back disappear before turning back.

Back in the Treasure Pavilion, Huang Baiji greeted him, and Xie Mingyu's personal guard Xie Yunfei was next to him.

Seeing the three of them together, the shopkeeper and the apprentices consciously walked away, so as not to be misunderstood by the three of them and eavesdrop on their conversation.

"Huang Lao, Yunfei, what do you think of Cheng Biting Jin?" Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Xie Mingyu asked bluntly.

Since Xie Mingyu and Brother Na started talking just now, Xie Yunfei, who was standing not far away and began to observe Brother Na carefully, immediately replied: "This person is indeed a master, he should have seen through my cultivation strength, and he has always been wary of me. I had imagined a sudden attack on him in my mind, but I couldn't find any flaws in him. On the premise of cultivating equally, no matter what time or angle I attacked, I couldn't easily hurt him. Although he doesn't seem to have any cultivation, he should have hidden it with a secret method. With his martial arts literacy and alertness, he can never be an ordinary person! ”

Huang Baiji next to him nodded, agreed with Xie Yunfei's words, and took over the words: "At least the Blood Refining Realm can disguise yourself as an ordinary person by swallowing special treasure pills and the secret method of regulating qi and blood. Although most of the thirty medicinal materials he purchased were for refining body forging treasure medicines, Blood Refining Realm martial artists couldn't use them at all. However, the medicinal materials of the body forging treasure medicine can often also be refined to treat external injuries. So I deduced that he should have been injured, and he used secret methods to cover up his cultivation in order to avoid pursuit! ”

"Well, he is in rags, dressed like a lower-class pauper, but he has an extraordinary temperament between his gestures, exuding a confident and wanton aura, and even paying the bill is directly with gold, hehe. This dress is obviously deliberately disguised after he covered up his cultivation. At first glance, it looks quite similar, but he doesn't know how to restrain his temperament and demeanor, and he can easily make people see a sense of disobedience. Xie Mingyu finally expressed his judgment.

"Well, looking at his temperament and demeanor, plus he can have such cultivation at his age, his identity background should be unusual. Even if it is not a walk from a famous family, it is also the core descendant of a big force. Xie Yunfei added another sentence, his tone sour.

Xie Yunfei is already in his thirties and almost forty years old this year, and it was already a fluke that he finally broke through to the Blood Refining Realm through the secret medicine in the first two years before his qi and blood weakened.

Today, seeing that Brother Na has at least the blood refining realm at a young age, and his martial arts literacy is so high, he will inevitably be stimulated by the unevenness between people in his heart.

The three of them speculated through the exchange of each other's observations, and gradually, the identity image of Cheng Jingling, which was manipulated by Brother Na, became three-dimensional in the hearts of the three of them.

But Huang Baiji still has a question that he can't understand: "It's just that why does he know the characteristics and appearance of medicinal materials like a treasure, and when he looks at the appearance of medicinal materials, he is obviously also knowledgeable, but he doesn't know the name of the medicinal materials?" ”

"This ......"

This question stumped the three of them, and for a while they couldn't understand the reason why "Cheng Biting Jin" was so strange.

In the end, Xie Yunfei had developed limbs and a simple mind, so he didn't think about things he couldn't understand, but turned his head and threw out a question that he didn't understand: "Childe, since this Cheng Yanjin's identity is not ordinary, and you are optimistic that he wants to make friends with him, why did you let him go so easily?" Why not leave a contact address? If he doesn't come again in the future, won't the seventy or so silver dollars be wiped out for him today? ”

Hearing this question, before Xie Mingyu could speak, Huang Baiji next to him opened his mouth and replied for him: "If you can't keep it, you won't say it if you ask him, at most you will leave a fake address, it's better not to ask." Didn't you see that in the end, you wanted to invite him to dinner and was rejected? This person is very vigilant, and has been guarding against us as if he was nothing. ”

Xie Mingyu nodded in agreement, then took Huang Baiji's words and continued: "But it's normal, people who come out of the big forces are inevitably arrogant and arrogant, and they look down on us as poor and remote landlords, and it's normal that they don't want to make friends." Besides, it is very likely that he is recuperating from his injuries and hiding from the enemy, which is the most vigilant time in his heart, and we will not easily make strangers. It's just more than seventy pieces of silver, and if this person disappears from now on, then it will be wasted, and it is not a big deal. Only by putting a long line can you catch big fish, but if you want to be fast, you can't reach it. Brother Yunfei, your pattern is still too small. ”

After hearing this, Xie Yunfei nodded thoughtfully.

Huang Baiji looked at Xie Mingyu with appreciation, stroked his beard and smiled: "That's right, the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water." When interacting with people, you must not be too utilitarian and eager. If you are willing to give everything in return, you are likely to get nothing in return. Childe already has the style of the old man. ”

"Huang Lao has won the award." A smug smile appeared at the corner of Xie Mingyu's mouth.

At this time, Brother Na, who was walking home with a large bag of medicinal herbs, was also communicating with Cheng Jingling in his consciousness.

"Brother Nag, what the hell do you say about this Xie Mingyu? Why was he so enthusiastic when he met for the first time, and he was busy helping to find medicine, and he was erasing it? This wipe erased more than seventy pieces of silver! Cheng Jingling's tone was mixed with joy and worry, and he said hesitantly: "No...... Not really what you say, he likes it...... Like men, right? ”

"What are you worried about? I won't come back again. Brother Nag rolled his eyes and asked: "In the future, if he takes his Yangguan Road, you take your Tongtian Road, there will be no more intersections, even if he likes men, what does it have to do with you?" ”

"That's it, that's it...... I can't tell. It was just the thought that he had given me more than seventy pieces of silver because he liked me, and I felt sick in my heart. I feel that I have sold my soul because of these more than seventy silver dollars, and I am already dirty. ”

"Then I'll turn around now and send him the money back?"

"Don't, more than seventy silver, not to mention my soul, it's enough to buy my life."

“…… So you're getting cheap here and selling a fart, are you? ”

"It's just awkward."

“……”

After teasing Cheng Jingling for a few words, Brother Nag said seriously: "Okay, don't be amorous here, I teased you before." I don't know if that Xie Mingyu likes men or women, but the reason why I came up with a hot face and stuck to my cold ass is definitely not interested in your body. ”

"Why is that?" Cheng Jingling said curiously.

"Why? Because you're talking brother, I'll be pretentious. Brother Nag smiled proudly, and then explained to Cheng Jingling: "I saw Xie Mingyu as soon as I entered the Treasure Medicine Pavilion, and I knew that he was the owner of the pharmacy when I saw that the shopkeeper was surrounding him to curry favor. I behaved a little more profoundly, and deliberately showed my martial arts qualities in front of his guards, so that they mistakenly thought that I was a master of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. ”

"Huh?"

Cheng Jingling was shocked when he heard this, and carefully recalled what Brother Na had done after stepping into the Treasure Medicine Pavilion, but he didn't find any deliberateness and abnormality.

"So you calculated all this? Including Xie Mingyu will come up to make friends with you and wipe money on you? Cheng Jingling asked in surprise, and for a while he felt that Brother Nag's mind was really a little terrifying.

"Not really. My training task is to cultivate, and when I have plenty of funds, why bother to save you money......" Brother Nag scratched his head, and said with some puzzlement: "I don't know the name of the medicinal materials I need in this world, so I can only describe the appearance and characteristics of the medicinal materials, and let the pharmacy compare and find them." I'm not afraid that they will deal with us, and they don't want to find us because they are too troublesome. When I saw an opportunity, I pretended to make them think that we were not simple, so they didn't dare to slack off easily. Who would have thought that this Xie Mingyu was so enthusiastic, just to help find medicinal herbs, and to take the initiative to get together to make friends, and to wipe money, and finally invite to dinner? I'm out of the bottom of my heart. ”

"Maybe he has a bold personality and likes to make friends with heroes and heroes in the world?" Cheng Jingling guessed wildly: "I heard that in the storybook, the protagonist has such good friends around him. ”

“…… It's okay, don't listen to the storybook. Xie Mingyu has a bold personality, he is a thoughtful person. Don't be too simple. He wants to make friends with us, and he definitely wants something. But it shouldn't be a hurry, so I want to put a long line and catch us. Brother Nag directly saw through Xie Mingyu's thoughts, and instructed: "In the future, when I leave, don't come to this Treasure Pavilion again, and it's over." ”

"Oh."
