When Liu Xunyi and Qin Ku returned to the Seven Star Tower, the night was already dark, and the time was about to pass. However, the Seven Star Building is still brightly lit and crowded, and it seems to be very lively.

In the lobby, Luo Tianjin and Teng Sanshi sat facing each other. Behind the two, stood the disciples of the Xian Wangfu and the Teng clan respectively.

Luo Ningyu, Xie Xuan, Jiang Yiwei, Yan Bugui, Murong Bai, Deng Quan and others were impressively listed, and there were as many as sixty or seventy people on both sides.

In addition, there were some good people sitting scattered around, and because of the prestige of the King of the North Sage, none of them dared to approach easily, and even their voices were much more restrained, which was in stark contrast to the noisy scene of the previous two days.

Of course, by this late night, most of the guests had already returned to their rooms to rest, and only a few stayed to watch the excitement.

"Mansion Master!"

Liu Xunyi bowed respectfully to Luo Tianjin, and then bowed to Teng Sanshi: "I've seen Patriarch Teng." ”

At this moment, Qin Ku's face was full of sadness, from the moment he stepped into the Seven Star Tower, he had been struggling, hesitating, hating to take one step and three steps back, and seemed to be extremely reluctant to face everything that followed.

"Coming back?"

Teng Sanshi turned a blind eye to Liu Xunyi's courtesy, turned his gaze to Qin Ku with interest, and said loudly: "Qin Shaoxia, where is the person the old man wants?"

"This ......" Qin Ku stubbornly stepped forward, slurring and slurring.

Seeing that Qin was in a dilemma, Liu Xunyi helped him out of the siege and said, "Patriarch Teng, in fact, ......"

"Looking for clothes!"

Before the words could be spoken, Luo Tianjin suddenly interrupted: "It's none of your business here, retreat to the side and wait." ”

Liu Xunyi didn't know Luo Tianjin's thoughts, but seeing that his tone was resolute and unquestionable, he could only reluctantly agree, and then reluctantly retreated to the side under Qin Ku's complicated gaze.

"Patriarch Teng, please continue. Luo Tianjin's attitude towards Teng Sanshi was very respectful, turning a blind eye to Qin Ku's embarrassment, and drinking tea like an outsider.

"Hmph!" Teng Sanshi snorted coldly and asked Qin Ku again, "Qin Shaoxia, where is the thief who stole things?"

"This ......" Qin Ku cheekily muttered, "I didn't catch ......"

"What?" Teng Sanshi frowned and said in a deep voice, "You took the money, but the person didn't catch it, it doesn't seem to be in order?"

Qin Ku showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, and prevaricated: "The time we agreed on is three days, and it is still ...... at the moment."

"It's only a few hours until dawn. Teng Sanshi interrupted, "Can you catch that thief in these hours?" ”

As for this, Teng Sanshi turned his eyes, looked at Liu Xunyi meaningfully, and said: "Of course, if Qin Ku takes the opportunity to escape, the old man has no choice but to ask Liu Zhifan for justice. After all, Liu Zhifan had tried his best to protect Qin's hard work, so presumably your relationship ...... It must be unusual. ”

Teng Sanshi's words seemed to be said by Qin Ku and Liu Xunyi, but in fact, he complained to Luo Tianjin.

Sure enough, hearing this, the faces of Liu Xunyi, Qin Ku, and Luo Tianjin changed at the same time.

The difference is that Liu Xunyi's face is embarrassed, Qin Ku's face is ashamed, and Luo Tianjin's expression is a little intriguing.

"That's it!" Qin Ku waved his hand and shouted, "One person does things and one person is responsible, the person who takes over your business is me, and it has nothing to do with Liu Xunyi, so you don't need to trouble him." Deal...... I'll give you back. ”

"Return?" Teng Sanshi sneered, "According to the rules, you should be compensated tenfold, not as simple as paying back." ”

"I was negligent and fell into your trap by mistake. Qin Ku's tone became a little annoyed, "I knew this was the case, I shouldn't have coveted the five thousand taels in the first place." ”

Teng Sanshi turned a blind eye to Qin Ku's complaints, and said indifferently: "The matter has come to this point, it is useless to say more." ”

Qin Ku's eyelids trembled slightly, and he took out a stack of silver tickets in his arms, threw them on the table reluctantly, and complained: "This is all my net worth, you have to bear with it...... Take it!"

"Privately selling invitations to the martial arts conference, you earned nearly 30,000 taels, plus the 10,000 taels given to you by the old man, it's only 40,000 taels when it's full. Teng Sanshi glanced at the scattered silver tickets on the table, and said expressionlessly, "The old man counts that there are 40,000 taels here, but even so, you are still 15,000 taels short of the old man." ”

"Old man, will you settle accounts?" Qin was annoyed and embarrassed, and choked up, "I will charge you five thousand taels, ten times is fifty thousand taels." There are already 40,000 at the moment, and there are only 10,000 short, so why 15,000?"

"You can't catch the thief, shouldn't the old man's reward be returned?" Teng Sanshi asked, "Is it that the old man can't settle accounts, or do you want to repay the accounts?"

"You ......"

"Hmph!" Teng Sanshi saw Qin's bitter face turn red, speechless, and couldn't help but laugh contemptuously, "In my opinion, I'm afraid you don't have any extra money on you." ”

was exposed by Teng Sanshi, Qin Ku was angry and hateful, angry that he had worked hard to toss around, and finally made a wedding dress for others, but he didn't earn a penny.

What he hated was that Teng Sanshi was too insidious, and he pretended to be generous three days ago, but he ended up putting a long line to catch a big fish, and he took out 10,000 taels himself, but now he wants to take back 55,000 taels.

In the final analysis, Qin Ku complained even more about his intention to see wealth, and his lard was blinded.

Qin Ku laughed at himself: "I should have expected that you people are very cunning, how could you be willing to make a loss-making deal?"

"It's not cunning, it's rules. Teng Sanshi said nonchalantly, "At the beginning, you used the gold and silver jewelry of the Teng clan to earn the money of the Teng clan. The old man will give you a lot of money according to the rules. Now, you should also follow the rules and repay the old man in a penny. ”

"If you don't want money, you want to die!" Qin Ku saw that Teng Sanshi was not going to be ancient, so he simply put his heart sideways, put on a posture of a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and said, "If you want to kill or chop, listen to it." ”

"Good!"

Teng Sanshi nodded briskly, and turned his gloomy gaze to Liu Xunyi. Before he could speak, Qin Ku suddenly interjected: "The matter between you and me does not have to involve outsiders. ”

"You and me?" Teng Sanshi snorted with disdain, "That's good! You cut off an arm, and the matter will be written off." ”

"Shhh

As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the people present changed, and they all gasped.

Qin was as bitter as mourning, and said aggrievedly: "Old man, I have no grievances with you, why do you bother to make things difficult for me?"

Tengsan's stone heart is like stopping water, the ancient well is not wavering, and he said indifferently: "It's not difficult, it's to abide by the rules." There is a saying that 'a gentleman says a word, and a horse is difficult to chase'. On that day, you personally promised, and the old man and the heroes heard it with their own ears, do you want to break your word and enrich yourself?"

"I ......"

"Patriarch Teng doesn't have to be embarrassed by Qin, I'll give the rest of the money!" Finally, Liu Xunyi couldn't hold back the anxiety in his heart, and resolutely said, "I'll go back to ......the room right away."

"Looking for clothes. Luo Tianjin interrupted again, "There is something I was about to ask you, and I hope you will answer truthfully." ”

Liu Xunyi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously responded: "Mansion master, please ask." ”

"Three days ago, did you contradict Patriarch Teng?" Luo Tianjin's tone was as flat as water, making people unable to hear joy and anger.

"This ...... In fact, I can't talk about confrontation, but I have some disagreements with Patriarch Teng......"

Luo Tianjin waved his hand disappreciatively, as if he was not at all interested in Liu Xunyi's "words", and said, "Why is this so?"

"Because Qin Ku was wronged......"

"Was he wronged, when will it be your turn to decide?" Luo Tianjin said impatiently, "You answer me first, why do you want to stand up for Qin Ku?"

As for this, Luo Tianjin suddenly threw a sharp gaze with a deep meaning at Liu Xunyi.

Seeing this, Liu Xunyi was stunned for a moment, he seemed to notice a trace of something strange from Luo Tianjin's eyes, but he couldn't fully comprehend his deep meaning for a while, so he stammered, and stopped talking several times.

"Patriarch Teng said that your relationship with Qin Ku is not ordinary, but is there such a thing?" Luo Tianjin reminded.

"Brother Qin is my friend......"

"Just a friend?" Luo Tianjin raised his eyebrows and asked again, "Do you know that he is a well-known 'ghost and sorrow' in the rivers and lakes? is he a first-class master ranked fifth on the Dragon Elephant List? is he a haunting and unsettled ranger?"

Looking closely at Luo Tianjin's deep eyes, Liu Xunyi seemed to understand a little, and hesitated: "Yes...... I know ......"

"Do you know your identity?" Luo Tianjin asked scoldly, "You are the black fan of King Xian's Mansion, and your words and deeds do not represent Liu Xunyi alone, but ...... Xian Wang's Mansion. ”

At this point, Liu Xunyi finally opened his mouth, and nodded again and again as if he realized it: "Mansion Master, in fact, there is something I haven't had time to tell you, but I have made my own opinion, cut first and then play, please punish the Mansion Master!"

Liu Xunyi's words made Qin Ku, Teng Sanshi, and Luo Tianjin's expressions change invariably.

Compared with Qin Ku's dazedness and Teng Sanshi's suspicion, Luo Tianjin's eyes couldn't help but flash a hint of relief.

"Say!"

"Mansion Master, in fact, I have already recruited Qin Ku into the Xianwang Mansion, and he is now a disciple of the lower three sects in the mansion. Liu Xunyi was overjoyed in his heart, and said righteously, "Since he is a disciple in the house, he has been blamed, how can I, as a black fan, sit idly by? Here, the younger generation apologizes to the old hero!"

After that, Liu Xunyi took a cup of tea and handed it to Teng Sanshi respectfully.

"What?" Qin Ku looked stunned and said in surprise, "I ......"

"Brother Qin!" Liu Xunyi hurriedly interrupted, "You and I are brothers, and we are the same family, I will never watch you have an accident." With that, Liu Xunyi winked quickly at Qin Ku.

Qin Ku didn't know the truth, but he knew that Liu Xunyi would not harm him, so he didn't argue anymore.

"Bastard!" Luo Tianjin pretended to be angry and scolded, "Punish you for taking a hundred sticks after you return home!"

"Yes!"

Luo Tianjin cast a bitter gaze on Teng Sanshi again, and apologized: "Patriarch Teng, since the disciple made a mistake, Luo Mou, as the lord of the mansion, naturally cannot escape the blame. It's not as good as this, Luo is willing to offer 100,000 taels of silver to the Teng clan, and he should make amends. I don't know what the Teng Patriarch wants?"

"Your money, the old man doesn't want anything!"

"This ......"

Teng Sanshi is soft and hard, and water and fire do not enter. Luo Tianjin's face was embarrassed, and he was speechless for a while.

Seeing that the two sides were deadlocked and the atmosphere was very awkward, Liu Xunyi's eyes quietly flashed with a hint of thoughtful meaning.

"Patriarch Teng!"

Suddenly, Liu Xunyi took the initiative to come to Teng Sanshi, and whispered in his ear under his suspicious gaze.

Suddenly, a thick sense of shock suddenly appeared on Teng Sanshi's indifferent face, and the tough momentum just now disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye.

After a moment of silence, Teng Sanshi suddenly got up, didn't take a penny of the silver ticket on the table, walked straight to Qin Ku, and said, "Young man, don't be greedy when you see money. If you are entangled in the desire for profit, you will eventually fall into the evil way! Qin Ku, you have to do it yourself. ”

After that, Teng Sanshi turned his tiger eyes to Liu Xunyi again, and said secretly: "You are the same! Luo Tianjin has an inferior character, despicable means, a mouth like a river, ten words and nine falsehoods, and unscrupulous means to achieve the goal. If you have the same smell as him, and learn some clever words and lewd tricks, you will reap the consequences sooner or later. ”

"Soaring ......"

"Shut up!"

Without waiting for Ling Qing to open his mouth to refute, Luo Tianjin suddenly broke off in a deep voice. He turned a deaf ear to Teng Sanshi's curses, but slowly got up, looked at Teng Sanshi's back with a complicated expression, and said respectfully: "Teng Patriarch go slowly!"

"Humph!"

For Luo Tianjin's compliment, Teng Sanshi didn't appreciate it, snorted angrily, and led people to leave quickly.

......
