Qiao Yuanjian saw Hongying open her arms in front of her, frowning slightly, slightly displeased, but still asked patiently.

"I wonder who wants to see me?"

"It's the people of the royal family and the four royal families. ”

Hongying glanced at Qiao Yuan angrily, quite angry in her heart, and secretly said that you want to avoid me, but you are looking for an excuse to say that there is something urgent.

Qiao Yuan was naturally able to guess the intentions of those people, and after a moment of silence, he agreed to meet with them.

Hongying couldn't help but scold, why don't you say that you have something urgent to leave now, giving him a resentful look, Hongying twisted her slender willow waist and slowly led the way.

When Qiao Yuan saw that look, he was puzzled, but he didn't ask more, just silently decided that he would stay away from this woman in the future.

All the way through many pavilions and corridors, suddenly the front of the open area, a hundred-zhang size lake appeared.

The blue waves are rippling, lotus flowers are blooming, and there are many birds with crystal feathers playing on the clear lake, and the scenery is beautiful.

However, Qiao Yuan and the three of them did not pay attention to the scenery, but their eyes fell straight on a small island in the center of the lake.

The island is not large, but it is full of flowers, and there is a chic loft surrounded by green vines, which looks very suitable for the scene.

At this moment, there were five men and women standing at the door of the attic, and three of them, Qiao Yuan, had some impressions, it was the third prince, Xia Yi and Bai Haoran who participated in the auction two months ago.

As for the other two women, he had never seen them, but looking at their clothes and temperament, he could guess that those two women should be from the other two royal families.

With a coquettish smile on her face, Hongying winked at Qiao Yuan, took the first step, stepped on the green lotus leaves, and flew towards the island.

Qiao Yuan and Qinglian did not hesitate at all, and set off together, following closely behind.

"Haha...... , in Xia Bai Haoran, it is a great honor to meet Qiao Daoyou today. ”

The three of them had just landed on the island, and before Hong Ying could introduce everyone, Bai Haoran, who had an elegant temperament, laughed heartily and said first.

"Bai Gongzi, you are a little noisy, and the concubine has not had time to introduce Qiao Daoyou. ”

Hong Ying angrily threw Bai Haoran a roll of her eyes and said coquettishly.

"Hongying, where do you need your introduction, no one in Kyoto City knows now, no one knows. ”

Bai Haoran seemed to be very familiar with Hongying, and he didn't have any scruples when he spoke, but although he said it to Hongying, his eyes fell directly on Qiao Yuan.

Bai Daoyou's words are ashamed. ”

A faint smile appeared on Qiao Yuan's face, and he hugged his fists and said politely.

Bai Haoran wanted to say more, but Hongying glared at him and said first.

"Okay, if you have anything to say, let's go in first. ”

After speaking, everyone rushed into the chic attic, the seats in the building have been arranged, and the tea and wine on the table, and the spirit fruit cakes are all available, which is extremely thoughtful.

"The concubine here is the lord, or let the concubine introduce you one by one. ”

After everyone was seated, Hongying stood up, glanced at everyone, and said with a smile like a flower.

Her appearance has the feeling of presiding over the auction, which makes everyone quite reassured, after all, everyone knows the ability of the red tongue lotus.

Then Hongying introduced Qiao Yuan, Qinglian, the three princes and others one by one, and naturally admired and complimented them in the words, and the words of praise were not stingy, and the people who said it were happy and comfortable.

When Qiao Yuan was at the auction before, he learned a lot about the Three Princes, Xia Yi and Bai Haoran through the mouth of blue smoke, and he knew a lot about them.

At this moment, the focus of his attention is on the two women.

The two of them sat on Xia Yi's right side, and the one close to Xia Yi was wearing a chiffon fringed dress, with his hair combed into a Lingyun bun, his face was beautiful, his eyes were clear and translucent, and he always had a faint smile on his face, which looked very gentle.

This woman's name is Ji Ningxue, from the Ji family, one of the four royal families, and her cultivation is one level higher than Qiao Yuan, and she has already reached the Jindan Great Perfection.

Qiao Yuan didn't hear much useful information from Hongying's introduction, but he knew that this woman was also a long-sleeved person who was good at dancing, and she looked gentle and quiet on her face, who knew what kind of calculation she had in her heart.

The other woman is a cute girl who looks like she is twenty-eight years old, her big peach blossom eyes are always shining with a bright light, she looks very clever, and her pink cherry lips are slightly upturned, revealing a sense of playfulness, which makes people unconsciously have a good impression of her.

This woman is from the Zhou family, one of the four royal families, named Zhou Xuan, and her cultivation is also the Jindan Great Perfection, Qiao Yuan looked at it twice, and then withdrew his gaze.

To be able to cultivate to the Great Perfection of Jindan and be sent here as a lobbyist, how can it be as simple as it seems on the surface, I am afraid that they already have a set of rhetoric and conditions in their hearts.

However, they would definitely not say this kind of thing directly, and a few people were drinking tea and drinking while talking about their cultivation experience, and half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Qiao Yuan really didn't bother to guess their thoughts, and when he heard them mention the matter of practicing martial arts, he said bluntly.

"A few Taoist friends have something to say, they are not unreasonable people, and they will seriously consider it. ”

The implication of this is naturally that Qiao Yuan intends to accept the solicitation of a family, but the specific solicitation of which family to accept depends on their conditions.

Several people were overjoyed in their hearts, and their previous worries that Qiao Yuan had no intention of accepting the solicitation were finally dispelled, so they glanced at each other, and they tacitly let the third prince open their mouths.

"Qiao Daoyou, since you are interested in accepting the solicitation, then we will also speak bluntly. ”

Qiao Yuan nodded, and motioned for the third prince to continue.

"Qiao Daoyou, if you are willing to become the worship of my royal family, I can guarantee that your treatment is definitely the treatment of the Yuan Infant Offering, not only can you receive 300,000 medium-grade spirit stones every year, but you also have all kinds of pill materials. ”

The third prince showed an extremely sincere smile on his face and said slowly.

"In addition, my royal family does not have any restraint on Qiao Daoyou, as long as you need to help my royal family when you need to make a move. ”

Qiao Yuan was very satisfied with the previous words, but the last sentence of the third prince was a little vague.

What does it mean to make a move when you need to make a move, this sounds normal, but it is a little inappropriate to think about it carefully.

However, Qiao Yuan's expression did not show the slightest abnormality, nodded, and looked directly at Bai Haoran, who was sitting beside the third prince.

"Qiao Daoyou, my Bai family is not as rich as the royal family, but the strength is not inferior to the royal family, so the treatment of this offering is not as good as the royal family, but if Qiao Daoyou can become the elder of my Bai family, Bai can guarantee that Qiao Daoyou walks in the Donglin Continent, and there are few people who will not give three points of thin noodles. ”

A glimmer of light flashed in Bai Haoran's deep eyes, and he stared at Qiao Yuan and said unhurriedly.

His words were frank and generous, without the slightest concealment, and the meaning was even clearer.

As long as Qiao Yuan joins the Bai family, he will be covered by the Bai family from now on, and he can hold his head up and stride forward wherever he goes.

Compared with the heavy profits of the royal family, Qiao Yuan valued this more, but he still didn't show the slightest discoloration, and turned his head to look at Xia Yi.

"Qiao Daoyou, before we talk about the conditions, please look at this thing first. ”

Xia Yi smiled slightly, reached out and took out a pale yellow storage bag from his sleeve and handed it to Qiao Yuan.

Everyone couldn't help frowning when they saw Xia Yi come out like this before talking about the conditions, and at the same time they became interested in the contents of the storage bag.

There was also a flash of curiosity in Qiao Yuan's eyes, and without hesitation, he directly entered and investigated.

This look made a trace of surprise flash in his eyes, and his face unconsciously revealed joy.

When the third prince, Bai Haoran and the two women saw this scene, they suddenly felt bad in their hearts, and they all secretly said that the Xia family had good methods.

The storage bag did not contain the spirit stone pill material magic weapon and so on, but there were ten exquisite crafts, and each bag had a tender green leaf in it, it was nothing else, it was the Wuxin tea that Qiao Yuan had drunk in the Liang family.

This Wuxin tea is extremely precious, when drinking tea, people can have a certain chance to enter the state of enlightenment, Qiao Yuan drank this tea for the first time, he was fortunate to enter the state of enlightenment, and benefited a lot.

At this moment, Xia Yi was able to take out the Wuxin Tea, obviously knowing that he had entered the state of enlightenment when he drank the Wuxin Tea at the Liang family, and the investigation was so clear that the Xia family had a heart.

"Qiao Daoyou, this thing is rare, my Xia family can only take out so much every year, if Qiao Daoyou can become the guest elder of my Xia family, there will be this thing every year in the future. ”

Xia Yi is smart, and he doesn't mention the word Wuxin Tea in his words, obviously he understands that although Wuxin Tea is precious, the royal family and the other three families may not be able to take it out.

Qiao Yuan showed a look of satisfaction on his face, and then returned the storage bag to Xia Yi and said with a chuckle.

"Xia Daoyou has a heart, but I still want to listen to the conditions of these two Daoyou before making a decision. ”

"It's nature. ”

Xia Yi nodded with a smile and responded, obviously the five of them had an agreement before Qiao Yuan came, and they each reported their own conditions, without interfering with each other, and not asking too much.

"Qiao Daoyou, before we talk about the conditions, can the little girl ask you something?"

When Ji Ningxue saw Qiao Yuan's view, a gentle smile suddenly bloomed on her beautiful face, and the soft light in her clear eyes made people feel as if there was a beam of sunshine shining directly into her heart, which was very warm.

Qiao Yuan was slightly flustered, looking at the smile, he actually remembered Liang Yun's gentle smile, and unconsciously had a good impression of the woman in front of him.

"Ji Daoyou, excuse me. ”

"The little woman heard that Qiao Daoyou had been looking for all kinds of medicinal herbs for the past six years, presumably to refine some kind of pill, I don't know if you have collected all the herbs now, and whether the pill has been refined?"

Ji Ningxue's voice is very good, and her tone is extremely gentle, which makes people feel a warm flow in their hearts when they listen to it.

While Qiao Yuan felt very comfortable, he couldn't help but secretly praise this woman for being very thoughtful and very keen, and she actually grasped her real needs.

It's a pity that those three ancient herbs, even if he said it, Ji Ningxue probably wouldn't be able to get his hands on it.

"Ji Daoyou has a heart, the herbs have not been collected, and the pills have not been refined. ”
