Chapter 8
After finishing the classic speech of the domineering president, the man went down to the first floor in a flash, and the telegraph girl followed him and jumped down from the Jade Terrace, standing beside him in a big way.
The drunk who was knocked down by the teacup raised a finger, opened his mouth with difficulty, and squeezed out a word: "You..."
Before he finished speaking, a silver light flashed across his body, his eyelids rolled, and he lost consciousness instantly.
"You! You... Hurry up and help the young master up!"
Seeing this, the shopkeeper who stood up tremblingly hurriedly ordered the rest of the practitioners who hadn't reacted to help the drunk man, then adjusted his clothes, raised a very humble smile and apologized, and bowed to the man to the end.
"It's the young master who was young and ignorant for disturbing the fairy master's Yaxing. I would like to apologize to the fairy master on his behalf. The good teacher knows that my Chen family is rooted in Qingxi City and has worked hard for more than 300 years. It is not easy to be where I am today. Please don't blame the entire Chen family for the young master's personal behavior."
The shopkeeper lowered his posture as low as possible, saying that it was not easy for the Chen family, and at the same time saying that the behavior of drunks should not go up to the whole. In a few words, he built a ladder for his house, and respectfully asked the man to come down from it.
But this person called "Immortal Master" ignored him, but fixedly stared at Su Yi who was not far away, his eyes were as soft as ice melted away.
Su Yi...Su Yi is still in a daze.
It wasn't that his brain turned slowly, but that the development of the situation was too fast and the reversal came too quickly. The alcohol smell on the drunk was still lingering at the tip of his nose. All kinds of rapid changes made him unable to recover.
Until it met the man's cold eyes.
"The Chen family worked diligently to cultivate Qingxi City, secretly cooperated with a group of thieves who stole treasures from various sects, sold their stolen items to the black market run by the family at a high price, and then sold them to casual cultivators at a higher price."
The man looked at Su Yi, and kept talking, directly picking out the biggest secret of the Chen family, causing the shopkeeper and the practitioners to change their expressions.
Su Yi was also taken aback. She always felt as if she had heard some great secret. The back of her neck felt cold, and she vaguely felt that the butcher's knife was about to fall.
And it is.
The shopkeeper's expression was solemn and tinged with coldness, but he was not directed at the man, but at the diners present, especially Su Yi who was the closest. meaning.
Many clever diners turned their heads away and pretended that they didn't hear anything, and some even sacrificed magic weapons, ready to break through the door and escape at any time.
Only Su Yi couldn't run away, and couldn't pretend to be stupid, so he could only reach into his clothes and hold the longevity lock, and was going to test whether his identity as the second son of the Su family was enough to save his life.
"Master Immortal, you must speak with evidence."
The shopkeeper no longer cared about the drunk man who caused trouble, and said to the man in front of him with a blue face that he didn't dare to show face to this man after all, his head was lowered, and there was a sense of tension in his voice that he was trying to maintain calm.
"My Chen family is not just a merchant, but a human administrator handpicked by the imperial court and the Taishang Mansion. If you have no evidence, you will wantonly slander... Although my Chen family is not as noble as an immortal teacher, it is definitely going to reach heaven Listen, ask for the truth and innocence!"
Hearing this, the man finally gave him a cold look. Apart from looking at a dead person, this time he also had a sense of helplessness as if he was looking at a fool.
Su Yi was engulfed in the inexplicable atmosphere between the two sides, her small face was tense, and her fingers holding the longevity lock gradually became stiff.
Two big brothers, if you are talking about the master, can you find a room to sit down and talk slowly, and stop nagging in front of irrelevant people like me?
If you don't let me go, I will be silenced again after hearing this. Buying and selling by force is more amiable than you!
Su Yi slandered, her body suddenly turned cold, it turned out that the man's eyes turned to her side again.
What the hell are you watching!
He lowered his head and growled inwardly.
The man didn't know if he heard his heart, and the corner of his lips raised an extremely slight arc, and he said lightly: "I really only have a conclusion, but no definite evidence."
Hearing this, the shopkeeper secretly heaved a sigh of relief, put his heart back to the original place, and said righteously: "Since this is the case, the immortal master should not pour dirty water on the Chen family. My Chen family will definitely not do such a rebellious thing. Immortal master It's time to investigate the person who is talking nonsense and slandering the Chen family!"
He said it nicely, but Su Yi's thoughts were:
really?I do not believe.
Even though they met by chance, Su Yi inexplicably trusted the strange man more. It would be better if he didn't keep staring at him.
At this time, the girl rolled her eyes, scratched her ears and said casually: "Tch, you old man is talking like farting, if the information is not accurate, with Bai Qi's temperament, you can't go far. Come all the way."
Old, old man?
Su Yi's eyes widened slightly, and sure enough, he saw the shopkeeper's young face tremble.
But that girl was probably something he couldn't afford to offend, so he didn't reply, and said politely: "Whether the news is accurate or not depends on whether the fairy master can produce evidence. If not..."
"Yo, so many people don't go to eat, what are they doing around my second son?"
The voice of gathering wealth sounded at the right time, interrupting the butler's nonsense.
At the same time, his figure turned into light and landed in front of Su Yi, and the clothes on his body shone dazzlingly under the light.
Blocking Su Yi with a protective posture, he looked lazy, but his eyes were sharp, gouging out the shopkeeper and the practitioners beside him like knives, and then smiled at the man and cupped his hands: "Hi Immortal Master Bai Qi."
The man nodded in return.
Ouch, it's time to come!
Seeing Jucai's tall back, Su Yi heaved a sigh of relief, and hid behind him to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead.
The man whose sight was blocked frowned, a little displeased.
"Second Young Master?" The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then looked at Su Yi in a daze, "He is..."
"He is the second son of the Su family, the youngest son of Master Su Pingyi, the younger brother of the master of the Tianji Sect, Su Yi." Jucai raised his voice quite proudly, and announced Su Yi's identity like a buff. In the huge Chongyun Building, a shocking effect was created.
Seeing the shopkeeper's expression, Su Yi immediately became shocked and terrified. At the same time, countless amazed or curious eyes were cast from all directions. The eyes were invisible but heavy, which made Su Yi, who had just relaxed, become nervous again.
no?Does this identity really carry so much weight?Why does it seem that the battle is bigger than when the fairy master appeared on the stage?
Su Yi seemed to be standing in the spotlight, although she could still keep calm on her face, she secretly complained in her heart.
"It turned out to be a child of the Su family." The man's frowning brows stretched out, and he changed his position as soon as he stepped on his feet. to the next one, is that so, sir?"
Jucai raised his eyebrows, his elegant demeanor turned sharp for a moment, and the face of the shopkeeper in front of him also changed drastically.
The man ignored the slight changes in the two of them, and said directly: "Just now, the housekeeper of the Chen family, the shopkeeper of Chongyun Tower, wanted to kill your son because of a piece of unsubstantiated news I brought up. It's a small matter, the Su family who protect their shortcomings shouldn't mind, right?"
As soon as these words came out, the shopkeeper's face instantly turned pale.
Su Yi didn't expect the man to say that. It might sound wrong, but it's the truth.
Even a rookie in the cultivation world could feel the shopkeeper's murderous intent. Since the man is an immortal master, it is impossible for him to be unaware.It's just that the shopkeeper is targeting so many people, but he specifically picks on Su Yi, coupled with Ju Cai's previous introduction, it feels like he is deliberately fighting.
That's not enough, the girl immediately made up the knife: "The kid lying on the ground who was beaten by Bai Qi just wanted to rob your second son!"
Su Yi: "..."
This sentence can be saved.
The shopkeeper was tongue-tied, not knowing how to argue.
"Ah, that's right. Indeed, my Su family doesn't care about such trivial matters."
Jucai was stunned, and suddenly smiled like a spring breeze, but the sudden increase in the chill all over his body caused the temperature in the restaurant to drop sharply, and the phrase "I don't care about such a small matter" was also said by him like "I will go and get your dog's head right now." Just as scary.
The shopkeeper's hands began to shake.
"Second Young Master." At this time, Jucai turned around and looked at Su Yi, with gentle eyes, and whispered softly, "What news did the immortal master tell you about the Chen family?"
The shopkeeper's eyes moved, as if he wanted to look at Su Yi, but the girl behind the man jumped in front of him to block him.
Seeing this, Su Yi blinked, and probably understood what the immortal master meant, so he repeated the news he heard to Jucai, and added: "The immortal master also said that it was cold, let the Chen family go bankrupt. "
"It's really getting cold." Jucai stroked Su Yi's hair lightly, then turned around and showed a warm smile to the shopkeeper, "I will send someone to deliver what the immortal master needs tomorrow."
Su's firm has been doing business seriously.
But it was never just about business.
"Second son, it's too noisy here, let's eat somewhere else." Jucai held Su Yi's hand and treated him as if he was a nephew, "By the way, send a message to Mr. Su Pingyi, who just woke up today, to tell you what happened tonight. Talk to him."
Ah this?Is this telling him to sue?
Su Yi blinked his dull eyes, and Xiaoyuan's face burst into a smile: "Okay, I still want to tell Big Brother!"
Ju Cai nodded with a smile, mouthed "Second Young Master is really smart" to him, and led him out in strides.
As for the shopkeeper whose legs were weak and fell to the ground, and the diners who burst into loud discussions, they didn't pay attention to them.
Bai Qi stared at the direction where Su Yi was leaving until she was completely out of sight before withdrawing her gaze, and said to the girl: "Lin Feng'er, how did you think of influencing that kid from the Chen family, making him go drunk and cause trouble, thus offending the Su family? "
The girl glanced at the drunk man, and said: "I just followed the orders of the old master of Tianjimen. At first, I felt a little sympathetic to that guy who became a pawn, but seeing that he wanted to rob the civilian boy just now, I am not at all right now." I don't feel sorry for him anymore."
"Sure enough, it's a no-nonsense strategy."
Bai Qi murmured, threw away the folding fan after speaking, and left with Lin Feng'er.
……
Inside the gate of Tianji, Su Pingyi, who blew up another box of rare materials, came out of the ruins of the sword casting furnace, sighed, and was so tired that he didn't even want to commit cleanliness, and sat down in disgrace opposite his eldest son.
"Father, don't be impatient." Su Zhong poured him a cup of cold tea with a smile on his face, "There are still two days left, my child believes in you."
Su Pingyi pressed his heart, and his handsome face was full of helplessness: "As a father, I also believe in myself, but every time when I succeed in a near-miss, that annoying old injury will break out, which makes me fall short. I'm really tired."
Mentioning his injury, Su Zhong straightened his expression: "Father's injury..."
"It's okay, I've suppressed it." Su Pingyi waved his hand, picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp, "Oh, it's really hard for my old father to find a chance to meet his youngest son."
Hearing this, Su Zhong also nodded helplessly: "It's not easy for my elder brother to see my younger brother."
The two fathers looked at each other and sighed in sympathy.
At this moment, a messenger bird flew in from outside the courtyard, and the name of Jucai was written on the bird's body.
Seeing this, Su Zhong hurriedly recruited Fu Niao to his side: "The news of gathering wealth? Could it be related to my younger brother?"
Su Pingyi couldn't wait to say: "Quickly connect."
Su Zhong nodded, and stretched out his fingers to touch the forehead of the bird to make it unfold, turning into a translucent mirror.
In the mirror, there was a figure gathering wealth and jewels. At the same time, Su Yi's small head poked out from behind him, like a cat poking its head, still cute and cute.
Before Su Zhong could react, he saw a gust of wind blow away the teacup in front of Su Pingyi, and Su Pingyi disappeared.
In the mirror, Su Yi blinked in confusion: "Huh? What just passed by all of a sudden?"
"It's the father." Su Zhong pursed his lips and suppressed a smile. While looking at Su Yi who had just separated this morning, he said softly: "He should go to take a bath and change clothes."
