32. Don't speak
There was silence in the small courtyard for a while.
After a while, Concubine Qi said again: "Young Master Li, right now, the three Guiyuan powerhouses are discussing the distribution of the Sun family's resources in the Sun Mansion. Then divide them according to the strength of the major forces......"
Speaking of the back, her expression became much more embarrassed, and she stopped talking.
Li Miao knew that she had something to say, so he said: "There is something to do, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Your uncle has helped me a lot this time, and I will not stand idly by if you need it. ”
Concubine Qi smiled and said happily: "Thank you, Master Li." That's the case, our Shaoyin Sect is very weak, and there are almost no cultivation resources left, and we all rely on the Cui Building to barely survive. It's rare to encounter such a good opportunity, we want to fight for a breath in the competition and grab the mining rights of the spirit stone vein for one month!"
"It's just that I'm just entering the realm of condensation, and I'm afraid I won't be able to support the scene by my uncle alone, so I'm ......"
Li Miao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help you." ”
The fight is a one-on-one fair battle, and his strengths can be brought into play. Without anyone else to disturb him, even if the opponent was a cultivator in the late stage of Ning Zhen, he was very sure that he could defeat him, and he would definitely be able to win a good ranking.
After doing this, he also repaid Liu Xuanfeng's favor, and he could leave this place without worry.
Concubine Qi only said this request on a temporary basis, and she didn't expect him to agree so happily, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Li Miao said: "You go to your uncle, he may tell you good news." ”
He was referring to the inheritance of the Sun Mansion that he gave to Liu Xuanfeng.
For the declining Shaoyin Sect, that was a huge fortune.
Concubine Qi didn't know why, and walked to Liu Xuanfeng's room where she was recuperating with doubts.
At this time, Li Miao remembered something again, and said to her: "He Tianxiang died in Qianyuan Mountain, do you know." ”
Concubine Qi was shocked, her expression darkened a little, and she spit out a sentence after a while: "He...... Alas, it's a pity. ”
Li Miao thought that she would be sad for a while, but she didn't expect to just say a pity. Although it is sentimental, it is just an ordinary emotion, just like hearing that the next-door neighbor is sick and dead, it is not from personal feelings, but a kind of touching sadness, feeling and sighing.
It seems that the relationship between her and He Tianxiang is not as deep as imagined.
Concubine Qi didn't say much, sighed and knocked on the door and entered the house.
Liu Xuanfeng was sitting cross-legged on the futon, absorbing the power of the pill to recuperate from his injuries. When I found someone entering the house, I opened my eyes.
Li Miao took a look and saw that his complexion had recovered a lot, so he didn't bother the two of them and took Guo'er out of the courtyard.
"What do you want to eat at noon?" he asked.
Guo'er pursed her lips, not wanting to speak, just lowered her head and quietly followed behind him.
Li Miao recommended to her a few places to eat.
"What do you think of that little restaurant on the next street?"
“......”
"Isn't that good? Why don't you eat dumplings?"
“......”
"Or the fish restaurant across the street?"
“......”
Guo'er never spoke, neither agreeing nor refusing.
Li Miao said distressedly: "Then you tell me what you want to eat, as long as you say it, no matter how far and expensive, I will take you there." ”
Guo'er pursed her lips, stopped, took his hand, and pointed to the nearest street shop.
The storefront of the small shop is also square, it looks small and shabby, there are only two tables in total, and the store is a fat aunt in her fifties, there are no helpers and no customers, she is the only one who is busy working.
Zhang Kee beef noodles.
Li Miao looked up at the plaque on the forehead of the door, nodded and said, "Okay, just eat this." ”
He walked into the shop and sat down at the table on the left, and Guo'er followed with him, sitting on his left.
"Auntie, come two bowls of beef noodles, add more beef, add more noodles. ”
"Okay, wait, it's going to be right away. The fat aunt was in good spirits, and immediately got busy when she answered, cutting meat under the soup in one go, and her movements were so skillful that she seemed to have done it thousands of times.
While waiting, Guo'er sat in a daze, her eyes looking hollow, looking at the street outside and not knowing what she was thinking.
Li Miao followed her gaze and saw people coming and going on the street, ordinary people, or cultivators with swords and weapons, passing by, no one lingering on the street, everyone seemed to be in a hurry.
"What do you want?" he asked.
It is not surprising that people are busy because of the affairs of the Sun Mansion, the monks want to fight for resources, and the people also want to take advantage of the opportunity.
But it has nothing to do with the fruit.
She didn't reply, just turned her gaze to Li Miao and clenched her little fists.
Meaning, she wants to get stronger quickly and stop being bullied by others.
Li Miao understood what she meant in her heart, but deliberately said: "Your fists are so tight, are you angry with me and want to hit me?"
Guo'er hurriedly shook her head, frowned slightly, and changed her two hands into fists and pressed them to her heart, indicating that she was eager for power.
Li Miao let out an "oh", made a sudden realization, and pouted: "Yes, it's not enough to hit me with one hand, I have to fight with both hands." ”
"Hmm......"
Guo'er immediately saw that he was pretending on purpose, glared at him with disgust, and turned his head away with a pout.
"Guest, your face is here~"
At this time, the fat aunt was also busy and brought up two large bowls of noodles with an added amount.
The aroma of beef wafts through the hot noodle soup, which is very tempting when you are hungry at noon.
Guo'er practiced kung fu all morning, and her little stomach was already hungry, so she immediately picked up her chopsticks and enjoyed it.
Li Miao watched her suck the smooth noodles for a while, and then pick up the beef slices and eat them in her mouth, her appetite was very good, and she felt a little relieved.
In fact, there was no need for him to force Guo'er to speak.
No matter what her mentality has become, at least she has not rejected life now, she can eat and sleep, and she is still diligent in her cultivation.
It doesn't matter if you don't like to talk, as long as you are still optimistic and positive, you will get better one day.
Lunch time is spent with the sound of two people, one big and one small, sucking noodles.
With no other guests coming, the fat aunt sat bored and watched them enjoy the noodle soup.
Guo'er's body seems to have grown a little taller in the past two days, and she already looks like a ten-year-old child. However, when she saw her eliminate a large bowl of beef noodles with meat and noodles one by one, the fat aunt's face still showed a strong look of shock.
Originally, she thought that the increase was because Li Miao needed to eat more, after all, Li Miao was sturdy, very tall, and it was normal for her to eat more than ordinary people.
turned out to be the opposite, Li Miao not only did not take the noodles from Guo'er's bowl, but also sandwiched a few slices of beef for the little girl.
When the two of them finished eating and checking out, the fat aunt came back to her senses from the shock, looked at the fruit with a slightly bulging belly with strange eyes, and murmured: "You can eat so much at such a young age, who will dare to marry in the future......"
Although the sound is small, it is very clear in this quiet little noodle restaurant.
Guo'er's little face was slightly red, and she lowered her head a little embarrassed.
Li Miao smiled: "Eat more to grow faster, she is determined to grow as tall and strong as me." After saying that, he patted Guo'er's little shoulder as if encouraging.
"Alas......"
The fat aunt shook her head and sighed: "Then no one dares to ask for it." ”
Li Miao laughed, pulled Guo'er out of the door, and said casually: "Don't be afraid, if you really can't get married, isn't there still me." ”
The fat aunt was stunned, and then sighed for a while: "What a sin, how can there be such a beast father in this world......"
Li Miao pretended not to hear, pulled Guo'er out of the street, and paced into the distance.
Guo'er followed him with her head down, her cheeks flushed.
The two did not go directly back to Liu Xuanfeng's house, but walked in the direction of the center of the town, enjoying the scenery on the street while walking.
Liu Xuanfeng and Concubine Qi should have a lot to say, and he didn't want to go back and disturb others.
Now that the situation in Longling is changing, he agreed to Concubine Qi's request, and he should do his best to inquire about the roots of the monks from all walks of life, so as not to capsize in the gutter.
The two of them went all the way south from Beicheng, crossed two streets, and heard a lot of gossip.
"The tournament will begin seven days later and will be divided into two groups, one for those under thirty years old and one for those over thirty years old. ”
"The Guiyuan strong will not make a move, as long as there is a force in the Guiyuan strong, you can get half of the relics of the Sun Mansion, and you don't need to participate in the competition. ”
"Lu Yan, the hall master of the Fire Refining Hall, is the highest, and has reached the late stage of Condensation, and is expected to win the first place and obtain one percent of the resources of the Sun Mansion. ”
"The group of girls in the cuilou are also here, I don't know if they want to find someone to double cultivate, or to win over the scattered people. ”
And so on and so forth.
These news are not secrets, most of the monks already know about it, and Li Miao heard it for a while, and then he knew a rough idea.
After about an hour of wandering, he wanted to turn back.
At this time, I happened to pass by a luxurious shop, which was full of exquisite ornaments and hairpins.
When I looked up, the name of the store was "Treasure Pavilion".
Li Miao remembered that Guo Yunyi had wanted to give Guo'er a bracelet before, but Guo'er refused, and as soon as his mind moved, he took the little girl and walked in.
Xu Yun was stunned for a moment.
"Childe, what did you say?"
It stands to reason that the value of a medium-grade spirit stone is ten times that of a low-grade spirit stone, and twenty medium-grade spirit stones are two hundred lower-grade spirit stones, which add up to one thousand and two hundred, which is only enough for one golden scale.
However, medium-grade spirit stones are relatively rare, and the real value is higher than the price, and the amount offered by Li Miao is completely reasonable, at most it can be regarded as a slight cut in price.
Xu Yun didn't expect his shot to be so generous, and he reported a huge amount of money that many Guiyuan monks couldn't come up with.
I was stunned at the moment, and I came back to my senses after a while, and said in surprise: "The distinguished guest is really arrogant, since you are so refreshing, the slave family will be the master and sell the two things together and sell them to you at the price you said."
This time, he was directly promoted from a son to a distinguished guest.
Li Miao has always acted simply, and immediately took out a thousand grade spirit stones plus twenty grade spirit stones, and stacked them on the table in the middle.
"You click. ”
Xu Yun looked at the pile of blue-green stones and a handful of crystal green stones, only felt that he was salivating in his mouth, and couldn't help but purse the corners of his mouth, and said while counting, "Guest, wait a minute, I will lift the ban and take out the magic weapon for you." ”
After a while, the inventory was completed, and I was overjoyed. cast two small spells in a row, lifted the formation that protected the golden scale and the heart of the river, carefully took out the two things, and handed them over to Li Miao.
Li Miao put the golden scales into the jade wrench left by Sun He, and the Chuanliuxin necklace was directly put on Guo'er's neck.
Guo'er's body is small, and Chuanliuxin was originally customized for adults, but it looks a little long on her body, and the pendant hangs down to her stomach.
The topaz necklace is not gorgeous in appearance, but the texture is smooth and translucent, but it is also much more brilliant than ordinary jewelry.
Li Miao smiled slightly, and said to Guo'er, "Girl, this thing can protect you, wear it well, don't take it off casually." The jade wrench is also yours, and now I will keep it for you, and when you start practicing, you can take out the gloves and other things in it yourself. ”
Guo'er held the topaz pendant in her palm, her big bright eyes stared at him, and she nodded.
Xu Yun listened to him say these words in a daze, and even forgot to put away the spirit stone for a while.
The magic weapon that was bought for such a large sum of spirit stones was actually given to a ten-year-old child, which is too loser
Even before the fall of the Sun Mansion, no one was so generous, and the notorious evil young Sun Hong had never been so wantonly defeated.
Li Miao ignored Xu Yun's reaction and took Guo'er's hand and left the inner hall.
The market outside is still bustling, and nothing has changed because of his spending.
The two walked out of the Treasure Pavilion, ready to go back.
Just as the other two were about to come in, they greeted them on the steps of the doorway.
The person who came was a middle-aged man in an ochre robe, bearded and tiger-eyed, not angry and arrogant, exuding a powerful aura in the late stage of Ning Zhen.
The other is a little girl about the same age as Guo'er, in her early tens, wearing a luxurious floral skirt with a delicate look on her face.
The little girl took the middle-aged man's hand and walked to the treasure pavilion, shouting, "I don't care about my father, I want that necklace, if you don't buy it for me, I will sue my mother."
The middle-aged man's face was full of helplessness, and he was a little spoiled, and he said, "Okay, okay, as long as it is what Shuang'er likes, Dad will buy it for you." ”
The little girl got her father's permission and smiled with joy.
But when her gaze swept over the heart of the river hanging around Guo'er's neck, her expression immediately fell.
The little girl frowned, pointed at Guo'er and shouted, "You stop, that's my necklace" Leaving her father's hand, she opened her arms to block the way of Li Miao and the others.
The road ahead was blocked, and Li Miao had to stop.
The little girl shouted, "You are not allowed to rob my things, this is mine, give it back to me" and rushed up directly as if no one was around, trying to snatch the heart of the river from Guo'er.
The middle-aged man and Li Miao frowned at the same time.
The latter pulled it casually, protected Guo'er behind him, and said to the middle-aged man, "Friend, please take care of your own children." ”
The little girl threw herself into the air, but instead of giving up, she chased after Li Miao even more angrily, only the necklace in her eyes, as if she didn't see anyone else.
