Chapter 116 The Price of Rock Sugar Gourd

As the head of the auction house of the Fujia World Chamber of Commerce in Beidou City, Nalan Geng naturally has a lot of money.

And now Qin Chen was in a mansion in Nalan Geng, rubbing his hands nervously, and when Nalan Geng reported his identity for the first time, Qin Chen's brain was also short-circuited for a few seconds.

This is a residential area located in the northeast corner of Beidou City, the people who live here can not have strong strength, but they must be very rich, the environment here is quiet, the climate is suitable, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, it is the favorite place of those rich people in Beidou City, Nalan Geng naturally has a property here.

Pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, water lilies, and maids wearing gold and silver are laughing and laughing, without a sense of restraint.

In the hall of this mansion, when Nalan Geng introduced his identity, Qin Chen directly opened his mouth wide, things in this world are so wonderful, and there is a providence in the dark.

Nalan who had already come down from Qin Chen's arms was obviously like a cheerful lark, constantly spinning around Qin Chen's chair, her skirt flying, revealing delicate, fair-skinned calves, and her face was filled with a smile that should have belonged to a child of this age.

Qin Chen had already come back to his senses, and stroked Nalan Mingming's head lovingly, although it may not be easy to guess Nalan Mingming's identity, but Qin Chen didn't have any intentions for the Fujia World Chamber of Commerce, so Qin Chen didn't care about Nalan Mingming's identity at all, he just couldn't react a little just now.

Looking at Nalan's innocent smiling face, Qin Chen sighed with emotion: "I don't know what Lu Dao's identity is in Nalan's family. I don't know how powerful the Nalan family is, but I can tell that they are obviously not happy. ”

Nalan Geng smiled bitterly: "How can the affairs of this family be discussed by those of us who are subordinates. Although I was given the surname Nalan, I still can't participate in the disputes between my own family, the big family has the benefits of the big family, and naturally there are also the disadvantages of the big family. ”

"Do you just let it go on like this?" Qin Chen sighed, "I can see that the Nalan family should be very kind to Mingming, but they didn't give her enough care." Care from the heart, if this goes on for a long time, the child's nature will be completely wiped out. has become a helmsman who puts the interests of the family first, is this what these big families want to see?" Speaking of the most reluctant, Qin Chen almost roared to Nalan Geng, he had already regarded Ming Ming as his sister. Qin Chen would never let his sister become like this.

Nalan Ming raised his head and looked at Qin Chen curiously. Although he is a business genius, Yi Nalan still doesn't understand the meaning of Qin Chen's words at his current age.

Nalan Geng, on the other hand, looked left and right in a panic, and was relieved when he saw that there was no sign at all.

Spreading out his palms, Nalan Geng shook his head, "Young Master Qin, there is something you have to remember, there are some things that can be managed. But there are some things that you should never get involved in. I've seen too many teenagers who have been wiped out because of their involvement in the Nalan family's disputes. ”

Holding Nalan Ming in his arms, Qin Chen said in a low voice: "I just can't bear to let such a cute little girl be made like a walking dead by the identity of a big family. A child of her age should be the age of playing, the age of unrestrained, the age of heartless laughter, and the age of always having a smile on her face. I won't say more, after all, compared to the Nalan family, I am just an ant, maybe not even an ant. ”

Looking up at the furniture in the room, Qin Chen shook his head and said with a wry smile: "But I really didn't expect that I just couldn't bear to make a move on the street, but I didn't expect to meet the president of the famous Beidou City Auction House of the Rich World Chamber of Commerce, which really surprised me." ”

"Alas, what a big name, since the day I took office, the interests of Beidou City have ranked first from the bottom, and if I haven't been removed, I have already burned high incense from my ancestors. ”

At this time, Nalan Ming suddenly raised his head, "Grandpa Geng, you can't say that, this is also because Beidou City is really not suitable for commercial development, I really don't understand, why would someone build a city in this place in the first place? But it doesn't matter, this trial mission, I will definitely let Beidou City develop." Clenched his little fists, Nalan obviously puffed out his face, very cute.

Qin Chen smiled and poked Nalan Mingming's little belly, Nalan Ming was like a deflated ball, and his bulging face immediately deflated.

While carefully poking Nalan Mingming's small stomach through his clothes, he asked, "Mingming, what is the trial task?"

Nalan obviously hadn't answered yet, but Nalan Geng on the side explained.

He looked at Qin Chen with a smile, "It is understandable that Qin Gongzi doesn't know the Dao, this Nalan family is a big family that has been inherited for an unknown number of years, a big family! ”

After a pause, as if organizing language, Nalan Geng then spoke: "Originally, the Nalan family has always been a pure cultivation family, but I didn't expect that there was an amazing and brilliant character, that is, the ancestor of our Nalan family now, although the ancestor is talented, but what makes him more interested in business is business, so he established the Fujia World Guild. ”

"Although there are some people in the family who think that the ancestor has deviated from the ancestral teachings, it is undeniable that because of the Fujia World Chamber of Commerce, the younger generation in the family has more resources, and the number of strong people has emerged. Therefore, now the original pure family trial task has become two parts. ”

"One is original, based on the principle of force, like killing a strong enemy of a certain family, obtaining a certain exercise, etc., while the other is established because of the ancestors, that is, it is tested through business. But in either case, there is a common principle, which is not to get the slightest help from the family. ”

Nalan Ming raised his head and looked at Qin Chen, "The trial task that Grandpa gave me is to raise the performance of Beidou City, at least it can't be the penultimate one." ”

Nalan Geng lowered his head in shame, "The old slave is incompetent, and after so many years of operation, there is still no improvement in the slightest. I hope that Miss will forgive her sins. ”

Nalan obviously shook his head nonchalantly, "That's what makes it interesting! Look! Beidou City doesn't have any rich minerals, and the resources are poor. The aura is thin, the quality of the warriors is not very good, and it is not the center of Xunyang Mountain, the north is the boundless moat, there is no traffic artery, and now there is only a relic of hope. ”

Looking at Nalan Ming's eyebrows, Qin Chen couldn't connect her with an eleven or twelve-year-old child. Could it be Lori's body, Auntie's heart?

Nalan Geng nodded, "Miss Ming is right. Now only that ruin is feasible, but unfortunately according to the clan rules, the old slave can't help, otherwise, I will bring all the guards of the auction house. I guess nothing can hurt Miss in the slightest. ”

"What's the matter with the ruins you're talking about?" Qin Chen was puzzled as he listened. I haven't heard of any ruins near Beidou City.

Nalan Geng was hesitant and a little embarrassed, after all, this matter was a matter of the Nalan family, and Qin Chen, an outsider, could not say it.

Qin Chen hurriedly patted his head, and suddenly realized: "I'm sorry, it's my rudeness, I won't ask." ”

Suddenly, Nalan on the side jumped up and down happily, blinking a pair of big eyes and looking at Qin Chen. "Brother Qin, I paid you for money. Are you good as my bodyguard? ”

Nalan Geng also clenched his right fist and hit his left palm, "That's right, although the Nalan family rules say that they can't get the slightest help from their own family, they can recruit people from outside, and a strong family must have a lot of allies." Originally, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to provide any help to the young lady in Beidou City, because I didn't trust the major forces in Beidou City, but Qin Gongzi, you? ”

Qin Chen twitched the corners of his mouth on the side, he just saw injustice on the street, he didn't expect to be involved in such a thing.

Nalan obviously saw Qin Chen's expression, thinking that Qin Chen would not agree, and immediately the corners of his mouth deflated, and there was a sense that if you didn't agree, I would cry immediately.

Qin Chen hurriedly hugged Nalan Mingming, "Brother didn't say no, I don't have anything to do anyway?" I just agreed!" Qin Chen thought about it, he really didn't have anything to do for the time being, looking for Du Yuewei and Huihui was not something that could be found at once, Situ Yun'er's chick could not be involved in the matter as much as possible, thinking about it like this, Qin Chen found that he was still quite idle, so let's agree!

The tears in the corners of Nalan Mingming's eyes immediately disappeared without a trace, and Qin Chen realized that he had been deceived by this little witch.

Rubbing his hands, Nalan Geng asked, "I don't know what kind of cultivation Gongzi Qin is?" Nalan Geng waved his hand and said, "It's not to inquire about any privacy, but to make sure that you have the strength to explore this ruin with our young lady." "This is also because Qin Chen's cultivation of the Tao Te Ching is too special, and the cultivation of the Nine Palace Realm of Nalan Geng can't see through Qin Chen, which also gives Nalan Geng a misunderstanding, Qin Chen has a certain treasure on his body that can hide his cultivation, and mistakenly thinks that Qin Chen is a disciple of a certain great force, so he agrees that Qin Chen joins Miss Mingming's team.

Qin Chen touched his nose, "I don't dare to say big things, I have the confidence to compete with me below the Tiantai Realm." ”

Nalan Geng sighed, "Seeing that Gongzi Qin is young, I didn't expect that he has cultivated to this point, which can already be compared with the side children of my family." ”

Qin Chen smiled but said nothing.

It is estimated that Nalan Geng did not see Qin Chen's exact age, if he knew that Qin Chen was only twelve years old, it was estimated that he would directly communicate with the elders in the family and report all the news about Qin Chen.

After chatting for a long time, Qin Chen asked, "What's going on with that relic you are talking about?"

Nalan Geng patted his head, "You see I'm confused, in fact, this is the young lady who found it," and immediately told the young lady about the discovery of the ruins through the report in the family.

"Every hundred years ago, the city lord will fall, and the new city lord will succeed to the throne, this matter is indeed quite peculiar, but just based on this point, it is too hasty to determine that there are relics in Beidou City?" Looking at Nalan Mingming's pouting face, Qin Chen knew that his words hurt Nalan Mingming's heart a little, and immediately apologized.

After a long time, Nalan was finally happy, and Qin Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Nalan Geng shook his head, "Of course things won't be so hasty, after that, I sent my subordinates to look through the records of Beidou City, and found that these city lords would mysteriously disappear for a period of time before they fell, and by such a certain time every hundred years, we are sure." Xunyang Mountain must have discovered some secret, Xunyang Mountain has only risen rapidly since it was in charge of Beidou City thousands of years ago, which has to make us think. ”

"As for the speculation is the reason for the ruins. This is also because every hundred years is so cyclical, it is very likely that the ruins are opened every hundred years, and our Nalan family also has some ruins, so we have a lot of experience. ”

Qin Chen nodded, "It seems that what you said is very reasonable, but according to your analysis, Xunyang Mountain must know the existence of this ruin." Every hundred years, there will definitely be people coming to Yangshan to enter the ruins, and the cultivation is not low, and the danger of this ruins must be not small. Even the city lord of the Nine Palace Realm will fall, who did you recruit and have the confidence to explore that ruin?"

Nalan Geng blushed, not knowing how to answer.

And Nalan obviously replied naively. "Plus Brother Qin, there are only two people. Qin Chen once again confirmed Nalan Geng's words. Nalan is indeed a business genius, but in other ways, he is no different from a child, so who else will accompany you to explore the ruins?

Nalan Geng smiled embarrassedly, "Gongzi Qin doesn't know, for Miss Mingming, the ancestor is extraordinarily favored, so." Miss Ming won't be hurt, as for the ruins. I have already sent people to keep an eye on the City Lord's Mansion, and with the people of Xunyang Mountain opening the way, it is estimated that the danger will be greatly reduced. Qin Chen shook his head helplessly, Nalan would definitely have the power to protect him secretly, but what about himself?

Nalan obviously felt a little aggrieved, and pouted, "This can't be blamed on Mingming! I just arrived in Beidou City, and according to speculation, the ruins are about to open, and there is no time to recruit enough people." ”

A wicked smile appeared at the corner of Qin Chen's mouth, "Who said that we don't have enough manpower, the major forces of Beidou City, there are dozens of powerhouses in the Tiantai Realm alone, how can there be no manpower?"

Nalan was obviously holding her little head, she didn't understand what Qin Chen's words meant, but Nalan Geng's eyes widened, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

Qin Chen knew that Nalan Geng had already understood, and showed an expression that you understand.

An old man and a young man looked at each other, and suddenly at the same time they laughed, listening to this laughter like two foxes.

muttered a few words in Nalan Mingming's ear, Nalan Mingming's eyes lit up, and he looked at Qin Chen with admiration, "Brother Qin, you are so smart!"

Qin Chen scratched his nose, feeling that he was a little cruel, after all, those who had no grievances against him were the ones who had no grievances.

As if seeing Qin Chen's thoughts, Nalan Geng explained on the side: "This is the case in this world, there are only so many resources, either you die or I live, besides, we just spread the news, if they really die, it is also because of greed." ”

Nodding, Qin Chen said that he understood that after experiencing the beast tide in the vast mountain range, Qin Chen was no longer the kind-hearted simple martial artist.

"By the way, Mingming! How much reward are you going to give your brother Qin!"

Nalan obviously counted with his fingers, and only then did he raise his head and stretch out a finger to look at Qin Chen, "A string of rock sugar gourds." Qin Chen almost didn't spit out a mouthful of blood, and Nalan Geng laughed.

Qin Chen also knew the characteristics of Nalan Mingming, because she was too talented in business, so she developed a calculating character, and it was extremely difficult for others to take an extra copper plate from her. So Qin Chen sold himself for the price of a string of rock sugar gourds and became Nalan Mingming's bodyguard and thug.

Stretching his waist, Qin Chen looked at the sky outside, and immediately said goodbye: "It's not too early to see the sky, I should go back too, Qin said goodbye." ”

Nalan Geng said, "Why don't you rest here for one night and leave tomorrow?" and Nalan obviously hugged Qin Chen's thigh and didn't let Qin Chen leave.

Qin Chen shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I'm here to do business in Beidou City this time, I have to go back tonight, by the way, if there is a clue about the ruins, where am I going to find you?"

took out a compass-like gadget from his arms and threw it to Qin Chen, "As long as there is news, I will activate this gadget, which will indicate your location and my location, and then you will come to us according to this gadget." ”

Qin Chen nodded, put away the gadgets, pinched Nalan Mingming's nose, and walked out of the living room.

Nalan Ming suddenly spoke: "Grandpa Geng, do you think I can bring Brother Qin back to the family, so that Brother Qin can be with me forever." ”

Shaking his head, Nalan Geng persuaded him: "Miss Mingming, if you do this, this Qin Gongzi will die in that corner the next day, and at that time, it will only be you who will be sad." ”

Opened his mouth wide in surprise, "What are you doing?"

Nalan Geng shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Miss Mingming, you haven't seen the dark side of the family yet, but please believe the old slave's words, don't move this thought." ”

Nalan obviously seemed to understand, but nodded as if he didn't understand. (To be continued......)
