Volume 2 The Beginning of the Edge Chapter 35 The Wind and Rain Are Coming
In the eastern district of Linyuan City, there is a series of mansion compounds.
Looking around, five steps on the first floor, ten steps on a pavilion, and among the most magnificent courtyards, the corridor waist is back, the eaves teeth are high peck, it can be described as a paradise on earth.
This mansion covers an extremely wide area, even in this rich area where every inch of land is expensive, it is also very eye-catching, look up at the plaque, two big characters on it: Cui Mansion!
And in the pavilion of this Cui Mansion, in a pavilion, there are two figures standing, and one of them is bowing down to report something.
"How's that going?"
The man in the middle has three long hairs and thick eyebrows, and his appearance is excellent.
Since this person is in the Cui Mansion, he is naturally the contemporary head of the Cui Mansion and the vice president of the Tianxing Chamber of Commerce. and Cui Yu's father, Cui Qingzhi!
"According to the master's orders, the old slave has let people let the wind go.."
The other person, with his waist bent and gray, looked drooping and old, but his eyes shone with wisdom.
He is the housekeeper of the Cui Mansion, no one knows what his name is, only that he is the confidant of the previous generation of the Cui family, and now he is the head of the Cui family, which can be said to be under one person, even Cui Qingzhi does not dare to snub him.
"Hmm, didn't anyone notice anything, did they?" Cui Qingzhi nodded when he heard this, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.
"Master, please rest assured, the old slave has served the master for more than thirty years, and there has never been a mistake." The old butler smiled and said calmly.
"Well, that's right. I'm still relieved of your abilities. Cui Qingzhi said, standing up, "How is Ayu's injury?"
"This.." The old butler hesitated for a moment, looking a little cramped.
"Say whatever you want!" said the man, looking a little impatient, frowning slightly.
"Yes!" the old butler bowed, raised his head and said slowly, "The young master's injury is nothing, it's just that he has been thinking of a way to go out lately."
"Hmph! It's for that girl of the Feng family again!?" The man seemed to hate iron and steel, and said angrily, "What good is a wild girl who knows how to dance with guns and sticks?! As soon as Old Ghost Feng dies, she will be nothing!"
"Sir.." When the old housekeeper heard this, he was relieved, "The eldest lady is the only daughter of the president, and it is inevitable that she will be spoiled, and as soon as the president dies, the Chamber of Commerce should be inherited by her."
As he spoke, he leaned in front of the man and said softly, "According to the old slave, it doesn't hurt if the young master is close to her."
Hearing this, the anger on the man's face faded slightly, but he still frowned and said, "Phew, do I need a dead ghost's daughter to get the Chamber of Commerce?" ”
The old butler smiled and said, "The master naturally doesn't need to look at his face, now more than sixty percent of the business of the Chamber of Commerce is in the hands of the master, but there is still one person who needs the master's attention."
"You're talking about Cheng Su'e's woman, right?" Hearing this, Cui Qingzhi's eyes narrowed.
"The old man is wise. ”
"Hmph! a slut who has been delusional for ten years... Just because she also wants to be the wife of the president of the Tianxing Chamber of Commerce?" Cui Qingzhi sneered, looked at the old housekeeper's face, and said lightly: "Even if her sister used to be, it doesn't mean that she can be!"
"But after all, she is the president's sister-in-law, I'm afraid that if the president is soft-hearted, one day she will marry her, and she will become the grandmother of the Feng family. Hearing Cui Qingzhi say this, the old housekeeper hurriedly said: ".. If that were the case, the format would have to be reversed. ”
"Hehe, don't worry, someone will stop this." Cui Qingzhi said indifferently: "For example, the daughter of the adult, the wild girl who fascinated my son... She won't say yes!"
Listening to the faint chill in his voice, the old butler's heart sank, and he immediately sighed softly: "I hope so." ”
..
Time continues to slip away quietly, slowly approaching a moment that everyone is looking forward to.
I don't know when, the matter of the three families discussing swords has now spread throughout Linyuan City. I heard that this sword discussion was personally handled by the city lord, and it was completely fair, just and open, and from the high-ranking officials and giants in Linyuan City to the peddlers and pawns, they could all go to the scene to watch the battle between the Tianxing Chamber of Commerce, the Desperate Pavilion and the Sanssouci Hall.
You must know that these three are the top forces in Linyuan City and even in Youzhou.
This is really not to be excited and looked forward to, such a grand event, in terms of ordinary people's lives, may only be seen once or twice in a lifetime.
And when Linyuan City was in a uproar because of this incident, Lu Qing was still the same, spending a lot of time cultivating every day to consolidate his cultivation.
Originally, according to the time, he should have left two days ago, but since he was allowed to bump into the sword of the three families this time, the matter of leaving was abandoned.
It just so happened that he could also repay the Tianxing Chamber of Commerce, he had stirred up the situation in Lingchi before, and then Cheng Su'e and others saved his life, so it was really necessary for him to extend his hand at this time.
..
“.. You mean, this competition, you want to fight for our Chamber of Commerce?" In Cheng Su'e's study, she looked at the young man who walked in the door, and couldn't help but be stunned, and a burst of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"That's right, I still owe you a favor, so I should pay it back this time. "He was wearing a mask and couldn't see his expression clearly, probably telling that he was serious.
The young man in front of Cheng Su'e said softly: "But you are an outsider, you don't have to come to this muddy water... As for what you said, it's never too late to pay it back in the future. ”
When Lu Qing heard this, his face couldn't help but become weird, and then he chuckled, found a chair and sat down by himself, crossed his legs and said, "Manager Cheng is a little strange today.. In the past, you wanted to tie me up to the Chamber of Commerce, but now you tell me that this has nothing to do with me, do you really think so?"
At the end of his speech, a face with a mask was extremely close to Cheng Su'e, although there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, but there was no smile in his eyes.
Seeing him like this, a charming smile appeared on Cheng Su'e's pretty face again, and the jade hand stroked Lu Qing's face, and said with a spring in her eyebrows: "That's natural, how could my sister lie to you.."
Looking at her innocent eyes and innocent expression, Lu Qing's doubts finally turned into a sigh, "Heh! ”
As he spoke, he got up and left, and when he arrived at the door, he stopped: "The matter of the competition is so decided, I don't want to owe people a favor." ”
"Besides, I'm afraid that if I don't pay it back today, there will be no place for me to pay it back in the future.." Lu Qing pursed his lips and said softly.
"Heh... Clever boy, you already know that. Cheng Su'e was stunned for a moment, and then said slowly, "I know you don't want to owe me a favor from the Chamber of Commerce, if you win, you can leave with peace of mind without any worries." But what if you lose... Aren't you afraid of death?"
"You don't have to worry about this." The young man shook his head slightly, raised his head, and the eyes behind the mask showed a resolute and indifferent, "Even if I am really dead, it is my life, and I will accept my fate."
Looking at the complicated look in his eyes, Cheng Su'e was speechless for a long time, she always felt that this was not like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, who didn't know what he had gone through, so that he could say his fate so calmly.
"Funny boy.. Lend me a finger!"
Cheng Su'e stared at Lu Qing, and after a while, she suddenly screamed, and at the same time, a feminine true yuan quickly gathered on her fingers.
Immediately, the green jade fingers were lightly raised, and on the weak and boneless fingertips, a fierce wind shot out of thin air, tearing the air in an instant, and hitting Lu Qing!
Looking at this look, she wanted to take action in person and test his strength... After all, what happened in the spirit pool still made her care a lot.
And with this finger, Cheng Su'e also increased his strength, at least with the strength of the foundation building realm, and it was impossible for ordinary Peiyuan realm monks to resist it.
Seeing that as soon as she made a move, it was such a fierce offensive, Lu Qing's face changed slightly when he saw this, but he was not flustered, and after a flash of light flashed in his hand, a horned bow appeared silently.
Crunch..
The sound of the bowstring pulling, somewhat sore, Lu Qing fully expanded thirty percent of the true yuan, all of which were absorbed by the longbow, and the Dao runes on the bow tire lit up quickly, and finally turned into an arrow in response!
Shout!
"One Rank Dao Device!"
When she saw the longbow in Lu Qing's hand, Cheng Su'e's heart couldn't help but be shocked, and then she covered her lips lightly and exclaimed.
Bang!
The finger wind and the arrows collided like lightning, and the fierce wind swept away like a violent wind, blowing the things in the study to the back and forth.
After all, Cheng Su'e is also a great monk at the level of the Golden Liquid Great Returning Dan, and with a wave of her cloud sleeves, the strong wind that was still surging and raging in the room before came to an abrupt end.
"Well, that's what I got by chance." Lu Qing nodded, acknowledging it.
"Tsk, it seems that Little Brother Lu's background is really not small.." Cheng Su'e first sighed, she suddenly remembered that when she first met Lu Qing, he was just an inconspicuous kid, nothing more than a little money, who knew that now with more and more in-depth contact, the more secrets he has... This made her heart beat a little faster, and this time her eyes seemed to be really too vicious.
Cheng Su'e stepped forward and looked at the murder weapon in his hand, which was brilliant, delicate and elegant, but its destructive power was something that no one dared to underestimate.
Then Meimu looked at Lu Qing, and said with a smile: "Little Brother Lu, who are you... Can you tell me about it?"
Seeing that she was so honest, Lu Qing also shook her head and smiled: "I'm afraid this won't work, I'm afraid it will scare you." ”
Cheng Su'e let out a giggle when she heard this, her beautiful eyes glanced at him, and laughed: "Hehe.. Then my sister wants to be scared by you, are you willing to do it?"
"Haha.. Another day," Lu Qing's mouth turned into an inexplicable smile, "I'll consider taking a look at it when I have the chance." ”
"Virtue!" Cheng Su'e said, her jade finger tapping his forehead, and then both of them were stunned.
Cheng Su'e subconsciously took him for Feng Qiuying, while Lu Qing had never been nodded on the forehead by a woman.
The atmosphere became a little weird, but fortunately, Cheng Su'e was not a little girl who didn't know anything, and turned around slightly, "The matter of the martial arts competition, please leave it to you.. This time, let's think you've repaid the favor. ”
Lu Qing looked at her back, nodded and said, "Thank you.."
"Thank you, I should thank you. ”
"Hehe, probably.."
