Cannon fodder apprentice reborn

This time, Song Lao led the way, and the three of Ruan Qiu were not blocked at the foot of the mountain again.

The huge city lord's mansion was built on a mountain, almost like a small city. All the way up the mountain, the surprised expression on Ah Xi's face remained unchanged, secretly thinking that the city lord's mansion is probably not worse than the imperial palace.

Ruan Qiu and Song Xinting are inner disciples, and the inner sect of Xuanji Sect is not bad. They have more knowledge and are much more stable than her. After all, the City Lord's Mansion represents the facade of Shifang City. Compared with the extravagance of the mansion, they are more confused It was the city lord who was willing to see them.

Especially Ruan Qiu, who only heard Tang Xun say not to approach the city lord's mansion last night, tested Elder Song when he went up the mountain.It's a pity that Song Lao kept his mouth shut, always smiling kindly, and only said that the city lord thanked his younger brother for inviting them into the mansion face to face.

It doesn't matter, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, not to mention that they were originally going to Shifang City to give gifts, maybe they will send them out this time?

Ruan Qiu subconsciously supported the green jade hairpin on the back of his head, and followed Elder Song into the door of the living room, followed by Song Xinting and Axi.The task was taken by Ruan Qiu and Ah Xi. He is the direct disciple of the owner of one of the three mountains of Xuanji, and his status is already higher.

As soon as he entered the door, a chill hit his face.

Ruan Qiu squeezed his palms nervously, and looked up without any trace.

The floor tiles of this spacious and luxurious hall seem to be paved with jade, and there are guards in light armor of green color guarding both inside and outside the door.On the top seven steps in the hall, the person sitting in front of the table should be the Lord of Shifang City, and on his left and right sides, there are two people standing respectively, one in black with a sword, with a scar on his face, and stern.The other is a fat monk in white robes, who smiles like Maitreya Buddha.

Ruan Qiu thought, this should be what the master said, Murong, the head of the hidden dragon guards in Shifang City, and Zhuang Jiu, the guard of Song Yantai.

He secretly looked at the people in the hall, followed Elder Song to walk in, and then looked at the city lord of Shifang City on the high platform. His eyes fell on the luxurious clothes embroidered with gold stars and moon totems intertwined with platinum. Slowly going up, he saw A face as white as snow.

The lord of the Shifang City was indeed as rumored in the outside world. His body was weak and his complexion was pale, but he was not weak. He sat on it with frost-haired and snow-skinned skin, not stained with dust, and his eyes were as clear as glass.He was wearing a thick snow-white cloak, with his chin resting on one hand, and the star and moon totem embroidered with gold and silver thread on the sleeves reflected the cold light under the palace lantern.

At first glance, this person seems to be a fairy raised from an ice and snow bank.

Like ice and snow without dirt, but also full of luxury.

It has never been heard that Song Yantai is still a beauty of ice and snow, which is amazing at first sight.

Ruan Qiu opened his eyes a little bit, and stopped walking unconsciously, not keeping up with Song Lao. Fortunately, at this moment, Yin Wuchen said, "Xiaoqiu!"

How can you be distracted at this moment?

Ruan Qiu came back to his senses immediately, took two quick steps to follow Elder Song, when he lowered his head, Song Yantai on the steps looked down, his snow-white brows frowned suddenly, staring at the three people following Elder Song for a long time.

Ruan Qiu knew that he was being rude just now, so he didn't look at Song Yantai any more, followed Elder Song to the center of the hall, led Song Xinting and Axi, and saluted Song Yantai in a respectful manner.

"Ruan Qiu, a disciple of Xuanjizong's Qing Huishan inner sect, pays his respects to the Lord of Shifang City."

Song Xinting kept his head down, not looking at anyone, and Ah Xi, who couldn't bear his temper, was also amazed by Song City Lord's appearance, and hurriedly saluted after hearing Ruan Qiu speak.

The Song City Lord stared at the three people below him for a while, but he didn't make things difficult for them. He slowly withdrew his gaze and nodded slightly towards Elder Song.

Elder Song cupped his hands, smiled and invited Ruan Qiu and the others to sit down.Their seats are at the bottom, and they sit separately. After Song Lao leads them to sit down on the left side, the black-clothed shadow guard and the fat monk above also come down, and sit on the right side seat opposite them.

These two people have advanced cultivation bases, even though they are separated by the spacious passage in the center of the hall, Ruan Qiu is still a little nervous when facing them.After the servants in the mansion served the food and wine, Ruan Qiu sat for a long time before saying, "I don't know why the city lord summoned us?"

Elder Song retreated to one side. Ruan Qiu asked City Lord Song, but he didn't speak any more.

And Ruan Qiu didn't dodge any more, and faced City Lord Song neither humble nor overbearing. Although he would still feel amazed when he saw that face again, he would no longer be as amazed as he was when he first saw it.

City Lord Song's eyes returned to Ruan Qiu, like ice and snow, Ruan Qiu finally found the source of the cold breath in the hall. He watched City Lord Song's blood-colored lips move slightly, and finally saw City Lord Song speak. Also extremely cold.

"Yesterday, you saved my younger brother?"

Sure enough, it's still for this matter.

Ruan Qiu had long wanted to say something, and at this time he responded calmly: "It's not that I saved the young master, but I found that the young master appeared outside the junior's house, he seemed to be seriously injured, and his spiritual power was violent, so I made up my mind to replace the young master. Suppress the spiritual power in your body."

City Lord Song hadn't spoken yet, and the fat monk opposite them asked with a smile: "I don't know what method my little fellow Daoist used, but our young master is indeed in a state of violent spiritual power, and it takes a lot of effort to suppress the spiritual power every time. It will also hurt the young master's body. But the young master slept very peacefully after he came back yesterday, and has not relapsed since he woke up."

Ruan Qiu was caught off guard, and he only knew one trick. Why does it sound like it's rare?Isn't the City Lord's Mansion really testing him?

Thinking of this, Ruan Qiu hesitated and said: "The junior used only the basic exercises of the sect's medical practice line yesterday, Vientiane rejuvenation, this set of exercises can be mastered by the disciples of Lingxi Mountain's outer sect, I think it was just a fluke to help the young master, junior Don't dare to take credit."

"Vientiane Rejuvenation?" The fat monk paused with a smile, "I have seen it with my own eyes. This is the technique created by the Xuanji Sect Medical Saint..." When he said this, he looked at Ruan Qiu with a meaningful smile, " Is Ruan Xiaoyou really not a disciple of Lingxi?"

Ruan Qiu heard that the other party was doubting the authenticity of his words, and said with a light smile: "This junior is indeed just a sword cultivator disciple of Qing Huishan."

The fat monk smiled, "Really."

Not to mention Ruan Qiu, Song Xinting and Axi could tell that the atmosphere was not right, and they didn't dare to move even in front of the delicious food on the table.

City Lord Song suddenly coughed lightly, his snow-white eyebrows were lowered, and his eyelashes, which seemed to be covered with frost and snow, were slightly closed, blocking his glazed eyes. Because the hall was too quiet, everyone could hear it.

So the fat monk seemed to have received some signal, and said with a smile: "It's a long story, my young master has been in a state of violent spiritual power for a long time, and it has happened frequently recently. The young master eased the pain, but unexpectedly, the little fellow daoist did it."

The fat monk quickly said: "It's about young master, and the city lord is also very worried. Suddenly, I invited fellow daoist here today, just to ask what method the fellow daoist used yesterday, but right now, it seems that fellow daoist is inconvenient to explain to us. Then can you ask the little fellow daoist to relieve the pain of the young master? There is no need to enter the mansion, I will take the young master to find the little fellow daoist later, and I promise that I will never steal the exercises of the little fellow daoist, just trouble the little fellow daoist for half a month, the city lord The government will reward Nanfeng heavily."

Ruan Qiu was taken aback for a moment, then raised his head to look at City Lord Song who was seated, and slowly nodded his head when he saw that snow-like flawless and indifferent face.

"Ah."

Is this affirming what the fat monk said?

In this way, it seems that it is not difficult to explain why the city lord specially sent someone to invite them into the mansion.Ruan Qiu knows medical skills, and he would not be unwilling to relieve a patient's pain, but he himself didn't know how he helped the young master of the city lord's mansion, so he had to explain in advance, "City lord, senior, to be honest, the junior used it yesterday. The Vientiane Rejuvenation Jue of my Xuanjizong Lingxi Mountain is exactly the same as the master and brother of Lingxi Mountain. I really don’t know whether the condition of your young master’s condition has improved because of the Vientiane Rejuvenation Jue, but if the patient needs it, the junior Willing to try it too."

Hearing what he said, City Lord Song looked at the fat monk again. He really trusted this fat monk, otherwise this fat monk would not be sitting in the seat closest to him, and even Murong, the leader of the hidden guards, would have to sit in the back row.And the fat monk named Zhuang Jiu in the outside rumors pondered for a moment, then nodded to City Lord Song.

City Lord Song said again, "You can give it a try, he will go to see you tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, City Lord Song glanced at Elder Song.

Song Lao understood, clapped his hands, and a servant from the mansion came in carrying two boxes and opened them. One box contained neatly arranged top-grade spirit stones, and the other box contained several glittering golden spirit treasures.

"Some small gifts, I hope the three of you will accept them."

This box of spirit stones is all high-grade, one can be exchanged for ten middle-grade spirit stones, one hundred low-grade spirit stones, not to mention another box of high-grade spirit treasures with higher value.Ah Xi couldn't hold back a breath of air, this city lord's mansion is really generous.

Ruan Qiu was also a little stunned. His wealth was naturally not comparable to that of the City Lord's Mansion, but the spirit stones given to him by the Master before he went down the mountain were enough for him to squander at will. I'm not sure if I can help the young master, so this generous gift cannot be accepted by this junior, so please ask the city lord to take it back."

"but……"

Rather than receiving presents, Ruan Qiu wanted to give presents more at this moment. There were not many opportunities, and he didn't waste them. He made a decisive decision, "I have a heartless request, and I hope the Lord of the City will fulfill it. This time, this junior entered Shifang City, but I actually received it." The mission of the sect is to send congratulatory gifts for the city lord's birthday this year. When I handed the greeting card yesterday, I heard that the city lord has been unwell and has not seen any guests, so I delayed it. Fortunately, the junior still saw the city lord Song today. I still hope that the city lord Song Be sure to accept it."

The hall fell silent for a moment, and both Song Xinting and Axi also looked serious, worried that they would be kicked out of the City Lord's Mansion immediately.

But Ruan Qiu didn't seem to notice the condensed atmosphere that suddenly fell in the hall, he still bowed his body and clasped his fists, and didn't get up.

City Lord Song looked down at Ruan Qiu, and said coldly, "You are Yin Wuchen's apprentice."

Ruan Qiu just handed over the greeting card yesterday, and his identity as City Lord Song is not difficult to find out, and he was not surprised that the other party knew who he was. Master is indeed the Sword Master of Xuanji Sect."

"Then you still dare to come to the City Lord's Mansion?"

Ruan Qiu tried his best to ignore the increasingly cold atmosphere in the hall, and said calmly, "Because this junior knows that the city lord will not anger this junior."

City Lord Song put down the hand supporting his chin, looked at him with a gloomy expression, and said, "You know, accepting the congratulatory gift from Xuanjizong means that I want to settle down with you Xuanjizong, but even if Yin Wuchen came , this seat may not be willing."

The coercion belonging to the Great Perfection of the Transformation Stage descended, as if the hall was instantly frozen, and even the white jade floor was covered with a thick layer of hoarfrost, but it was only felt by Ruan Qiu and did not hurt him.

Under the crushing pressure, Song Xinting was the first to be unable to hold back.

"Xiaoqiu, don't mess around!"

Ruan Qiu shook his head lightly. He didn't think he was messing around. On the contrary, he persuaded City Lord Song, "Don't worry, please listen to this junior. This junior was ordered to come to Shifang City to give congratulatory gifts. Only the head teacher and master can do this." And the knowledge of the juniors does not represent the entire Xuanji sect. If it weren't for this, it wouldn't be just the juniors who came to give the congratulatory gifts. Leaving aside the level of the sect, we just took on the next task and came all the way to complete this task My little disciple, I believe that the city lord will not anger us, and hope that the city lord can fulfill us. Then, this junior will do his best to heal the young master."

City Lord Song's ice-like face showed murderous intent, "You are threatening me!"

Seeing this, the fat monk and Elder Song shouted in unison: "The city lord calm down!"

City Lord Song tightened his five fingers on the armrest, and he released it after a long time. He looked at Ruan Qiu coldly, "Okay, as expected of Yin Wuchen's apprentice, you are brave enough, what if I don't agree to you?"

Probably because I have seen life and death with my master, Ruan Qiu also felt that he was much more courageous. In this situation, he could still maintain a calm expression, "Then I have to come back next time. The young master's condition, the junior I will do my best."

City Lord Song smiled coldly, leaned back on the chair, tapped the armrest with pale fingertips, and suddenly asked, "You live next door to Tang Xun."

Tang Xun is not bad, and he helped Ruan Qiu. Ruan Qiu himself is not afraid of being angered, but he can avoid Tang Xun who has already broken with Song Yantai from being misunderstood. However, shopkeeper Tang did not participate in the fact that the younger generation came to give congratulatory gifts. The reason why the yard rented by the younger generation is next to shopkeeper Tang is just a coincidence."

City Lord Song's face was still cold, "He didn't know that you came to give the gift?"

Ruan Qiu really didn't want Tang Xun to be involved, his expression changed slightly, and he quickly shook his head, "The shopkeeper Tang knows that he also thinks that we can't send this congratulatory gift to the city lord's mansion, and persuades us to give up. Instead of wasting time, it's better to go back home as soon as possible .”

In such a serious scene, Elder Song even laughed, with a helpless tone, "This seems like something Xiao Tang would say."

For some reason, City Lord Song restrained the cold air all over his body, and the frosty air in the room also dissipated. He lowered his eyes and said, "Then he..."

What else does City Lord Song want to say?

Ruan Qiu held his breath, and waited for a long time but did not wait for City Lord Song's next words. He looked up suspiciously, and seeing the probing look in the cold eyes of City Lord Song, Ruan Qiu's heart shuddered. What does the mayor mean.

"This seat can help you all, but..." City Lord Song said: "Tomorrow, this seat will send someone to send your younger brother to your residence, and you will relieve his illness at that time. If it can be done, this seat can consider it. After a month, accept your gift."

This is a relief!

For a moment, Ruan Qiu thought that he had heard it wrong, and subconsciously looked back at Song Xinting and Axi. When he saw that Axi's face was also full of surprise, he also laughed.

He didn't forget that City Lord Song was still waiting for his reply, so he hurriedly responded.

"This junior knows that this junior will definitely do his best!"

When they came out of the city lord's mansion, Ruan Qiu and A Xi were still immersed in the ecstasy of completing the task. Song Xinting led them back helplessly, sighing secretly, even though Xiao Qiu dared to challenge the city lord of Shifang City, in fact, he still didn't Little children grow up.

Song Xinting sighed: "Okay, I'm back to my senses. What if they send the young master over tomorrow and you can't heal him?"

After being reminded by him, Ruan Qiu also became nervous, but soon regained his confidence, clenched his fists and said, "Brother, you believe me, I still have the medical scriptures sent by Master Mo, even if the Wanxiang Rejuvenation Art can't be cured, I will A cure will be found!"

Ah Xi did not suspect him, and blindly boasted: "I believe in Brother Xiaoqiu! Brother Xiaoqiu was able to undo the strange poison in the village outside Pingcheng at that time. It was just to relieve the young master's half-month illness. It can be done!"

Song Xinting looked at the confidence on Ruan Qiu's face, and couldn't help but think of Ruan Qiu who was sad and unwilling to go down the mountain all day long ago, and felt a little bit emotional in his heart, well, as long as the younger brother feels happy.

After calming down, Ruan Qiu was still a little uneasy, "I hope the city lord really believed what I said just now, and didn't anger shopkeeper Tang."

He just told Song Xinting and Ah Xi about Tang Xun's identity yesterday. Although he has no friendship with Tang Xun, Ah Xi is also a little worried.

"That City Lord Song didn't ask Shopkeeper Tang any more. He seemed to be not angry anymore. Presumably he wouldn't take the anger out on Shopkeeper Tang, right?"

Talking about what happened in the mansion just now, Song Xinting still had lingering fears, "It is rumored that the Lord of the Shifang City is a rare mutated ice spirit root, and he is also the veritable No. 1 in the way of formation symbols. Under Yin Jiansheng. He almost made a move just now, and I am also afraid that you will die in his hands, Xiao Qiu, don’t be so reckless next time.”

He didn't even know what Jiansheng Yin had taught his younger brother, to teach Xiao Qiu, who was so well-behaved and sensible before, to be so arrogant.

Ruan Qiu didn't know what his brother was thinking at the moment, he was still obedient as always, "I see, brother, don't worry."

The words are answered, if necessary next time, Ruan Qiu will still be so reckless.

The three of them left the City Lord's Mansion. Seeing that it was still early, they discussed going to Liutong Spring Pavilion, because they had agreed with Mei Hanyue, but when they walked through the market in the inner city, Ah Xi was hungry.

Everyone was not in the mood to eat the meal just now, the city lord left without saying that, and they didn't have the nerve to stay longer, just as Ruan Qiu said, they didn't want any rewards in the end, so they left.

When passing by the market, Ah Xi sold several bunches of candied haws, but Song Xinting didn't want them, but Ruan Qiu took a bunch.Ah Xi took a bite, and was so sore that she shivered all over on the spot. She regretted that she didn't bring the little weasel to the city lord's mansion today, otherwise she could have thrown it to it.

Listening to her muttering, Song Xinting smiled softly, and looked back at Ruan Qiu, only to see that he was wearing a dignified and elegant Qinghui Mountain student uniform, but he had almost finished eating the candied haws in his hand without changing his expression.

Song Xinting laughed and said, "It's still the same as when I was a child, I love eating candied haws."

Ruan Qiu didn't think it was very sour, but rather sweet and sour, which was very appetizing. He didn't want it at first, but when Ah Xi handed it to him, he suddenly felt a little greedy, and couldn't control it after taking a bite. After eating, I am also very embarrassed to hear the words.

"It's good to try once in a while."

While talking, they saw the seven-storey building in the distance, and the big plaque in front of the door was written with a golden pen-'Liu Contract Spring Pavilion'.

Ruan Qiu bit the last candied haws, and swallowed it two or three times, looking at the handsome and dignified little brother Tsing Yi from Mount Qinghui, "Here we are, brother, let's go in and have a look."

Ah Xi saw that his face did not change after eating the whole string, and when she thought of the bite she had just taken, her teeth became sour immediately, so she stopped eating, put the candied haws back into the storage bracelet, and planned to go back to feed the little weasel, so she walked quickly Followed Ruan Qiu and Song Xinting.

As the largest trading market in Shifang City, the seven-storey Liutongchun Pavilion is extremely spacious inside. Ruan Qiu and the three of them were amazed when they first entered the downstairs hall. They were going to look for Mei Hanyue at the counter. A lot of people have already surrounded.

As soon as the few people approached, they saw a young man in plain clothes being held on the counter by the guards in the dark-colored attire. You cheated, I don't want to kill you!"

The boy struggled and shouted: "I told you I didn't cheat! It's the sixth-order thousand illusion grass that my master spent a lot of money to buy. It's just a little different in quality, but it's absolutely true! If you don't believe me, then Get someone to check it out!"

Perhaps it was because many customers were attracted, and the young manager was also afraid of causing trouble, so he copied the box on the counter, "Check it! Check it! Your Thousand Illusion Grass is fake, don't think that you can get away with it because you look exactly the same. It is said that your master spent thousands of dollars to buy it, so why did this Thousand Illusion Grass fall into your hands? Maybe your master also knows it is fake!"

The boy shouted: "Impossible!"

The steward said: "Then tell me, who is your master, and we are not unreasonable people, so why not confront him face to face?"

Having said this, the young man didn't know why he didn't continue talking, and knocked away the guards beside him, and was about to snatch back the box containing the Thousand Illusion Grass.The steward raised the box with both hands and backed away, the boy couldn't grab it through the counter, so the steward showed a smug smile, and said to everyone: "Look, I'm guilty, I'm afraid I can't find anyone to act? "

As soon as Ruan Qiu came over, he saw this scene, and more and more people came to join in the fun. Song Xinting was worried that he would be hit, so he protected him and Axi and urged: "Don't watch, let's go to Sister Hanyue first."

Coincidentally, the steward held up the box in his hand, so that Ruan Qiu could clearly see the dried spiritual grass in the box. His eyes lit up, and he walked in through the crowd. Song Xinting and Axi didn't know What is he going to do, hurry up and chase after him.

"Wait a minute!"

A voice that was neither high nor low suddenly sounded, the voice was clear, and it was quite clear in the noisy crowd. The boy who was in charge and caught by the guards calmed down again, and saw an indescribably beautiful boy in Tsing Yi come.

That person is Ruan Qiu.

Song Xinting and Axi finally pushed aside the crowd and followed, and saw Ruan Qiu standing in front of the counter staring at the box in the steward's hand, his eyes shining brightly, "Sixth-order Thousand Illusion Grass? It is indeed a rare spiritual grass, you guys No, can you resell it to me?"

The elixir he wants to refine for Yan Buping still lacks a lot of spiritual herbs, and Qianhuancao is one of them, because it has high requirements on the growing environment, and generally only grows in humid places with extremely high concentration of spiritual energy, and its level is not very high. But there has always been a price but no market.

The origin of the name Thousand Illusion Grass is also because it is good at disguising and imitating the appearance of the surrounding Lingzhi. Not only is it difficult to recognize, but it is also very easy to recognize mistakes.Ruan Qiu had seen the real Thousand Illusion Grass in Zongmen before, so he recognized it from a distance.

The young steward was stunned, "Are you serious? This is a fake Thousand Illusion Grass."

The surrounding crowd also looked strangely at Ruan Qiu who suddenly ran out, and somewhat suspected that this person was a liar who came to act together.

Ruan Qiu has always been sensitive, and seeing the suspicious expression on the manager's face, he couldn't help but smiled wryly: "I'm not a liar, but this is indeed the real Thousand Illusion Grass, why don't you identify it again, although the handling of this Thousand Illusion Grass is clumsy, but But it cleverly left behind the unique fragrance of Thousand Magic Grass. You might as well smell it carefully, maybe you can smell the fragrance of plum blossoms?"

The steward looked affirmative, "You are a liar, Thousand Illusion Grass has no fragrance at all, I have taken over so many Thousand Illusion Grass here, can I still not recognize it?" He pointed to Ruan Qiu, and said to the guard next to him: " Come, arrest him too!"

Ruan Qiu's eyes widened in shock, he didn't expect that he would cause trouble for himself just by saying that, he felt a little wronged, he just took a fancy to this fragrant Thousand Illusion Grass.

Once the Thousand Illusion Grass leaves the soil, it will wither quickly. The general treatment methods will cause the Thousand Illusion Grass to lose its strong medicinal aroma and a large amount of pollen. Therefore, the dried Thousand Illusion Grass on the market is tasteless, but if it is done properly , It can also retain a considerable amount of pollen and retain the aroma.

He was taught by the elder Yuanying who cultivated Lingzhi in Lingxi Mountain Lingcao Garden. How could he be wrong?This Thousand Magic Grass still has a fragrance, which shows that it has retained a lot of pollen.

Ruan Qiu was about to explain to the steward, so as not to be arrested by misunderstanding, the crowd dispersed behind him, "What happened?"

Listening to that voice, it is easy for people to imagine the image of a gentle scholar. Ruan Qiu turned around and saw a man in blue clothes with a gentle face. Seeing that the crowd of onlookers dispersed spontaneously, Ruan Qiu turned around and looked at him. from this man.

The corner of the man's mouth was smiling, and he had a pair of gentle smiling eyes. He seemed easy to talk and had a natural intimacy, but also because of this, it was easy for people to ignore his outstanding facial features, so it was difficult for people to see him at a glance. to him.

Compared with the Song Yantai I met today, there are two extremes, one is extremely stunning, and the other is obviously not ugly, but it is difficult for people to notice him.

But when he saw Mei Hanyue behind this man, Ruan Qiu was relieved on the spot, and the other party was also surprised to see them here.

"Ruan Qiu, you are here!"

Ruan Qiu was about to step forward when he saw the little steward who was about to have him arrested earlier exclaimed the big steward.It's not that the little steward didn't realize that Mei Hanyue said that to Ruan Qiu just now, his expression changed a bit, and he went to complain to the chief steward with the box in his arms.

"Boss, you came just in time!"

The little steward turned his head and gave Ruan Qiu a vigilant look as he spoke. Ruan Qiu was puzzled, shook his head silently, and looked at the man again. It seemed that he was Ye Qiao, the chief steward of Liutong Chunge.

This is the uncle of City Lord Song.

Ruan Qiu thought about it, and didn't think he would be mistaken, so he walked over.

With a helpless expression on his face, Song Xinting followed with Ah Xi holding his forehead.I don't know what his younger brother ate recently, and his courage is getting bigger and bigger.

The young steward spoke very quickly, and within a short time, he explained the ins and outs of the matter with the senior steward, and presented the so-called evidence.

When Ruan Qiu stepped forward, Ye Qiao, the chief manager of Liutong Chunge, was looking at the spiritual herbs in the box, and the guards escorted the young man over.

The boy was arrested in front of so many people, and he gritted his teeth angrily at this moment: "I won't sell it anymore, you guys return the spirit grass to me!"

The little steward sneered, "Liutong Chunge is the territory of the city lord, you dare to fake it, and you dare to lie in front of the big steward..."

Before he could finish speaking, Manager Ye spoke in a low voice, "Shut up."

The little steward was stunned on the spot.

I saw Ye Qiao shaking his head, waving his hand to ask people to let go of the young man, and even helping him up himself, "The little steward in the pavilion saw it wrong, this is indeed the real Thousand Illusion Grass, little brother, don't worry..."

Before he could finish speaking, the boy pushed him away and grabbed the box back.

"Senior manager!" Mei Hanyue hurriedly supported Ye Qiao, and when she looked at the little manager who made trouble earlier, the latter's face was already blue.

At this time, Manager Ye personally confirmed that the Thousand Illusion Grass was real, and everyone looked at the young man and Ruan Qiu differently.

Ruan Qiu didn't care, walked up to the young man and said, "I want your Thousand Illusion Grass, why don't you sell it to me?"

He could find the Thousand Illusion Grass in the Liutong Spring Pavilion, but he still didn't want to miss the ones with more pollen left.

The young man froze for a moment, and Ye Qiao came over. He was not angry when he was pushed, and he was still in a friendly voice, and apologized to the young man again, "I'm sorry, the people under my hand didn't see clearly, let Xiao Brother has been wronged, in order to compensate little brother, I am willing to accept the Thousand Illusion Grass in your hand at three times the price, what do you think, little brother?"

Ruan Qiu felt that it was not worth the three times the price, so he didn't ask again.

The temptation to triple the price was too great after all, the young man looked at Ruan Qiu, then at Ye Qiao, and finally made a choice, "No need to triple, I can pay the original price for this Thousand Illusion Grass." Looking at Ruan Qiu, "But I want to sell it to him."

Ruan Qiu was stunned, and smiled with curved lips. Sure enough, good people are rewarded with good rewards.

After all, Ye Qiao is the chief steward of the Spring Court of Liutong. This time, it was their people who wronged him and made him humiliated in public. But if he has a heart, he will not make things worse. Don't force it anymore.

Ye Qiao winked, Mei Hanyue nodded, turned around and took out a small box full of spirit stones, and handed it to the boy.

"The people under my command misunderstood, and even made my little brother wronged. This matter must be punished. I will not force the little brother if he doesn't want to, but these compensations will still be accepted." Ye Qiao pressed the boy to accept this. A box of spirit stones, looked at Ruan Qiu again, and said gently: "Little Taoist friend has a good eye, thanks to you for helping this little brother out this time, otherwise, the reputation of my Liutong Chun Pavilion will be ruined by my subordinates." .”

Ruan Qiu got the spirit grass, and was very happy in his heart, not to mention that the person in front of him was a relative of City Lord Song, so he was polite, "Master Ye is polite, you are fair and convincing. Business must be booming.”

"Young fellow daoists don't mind what happened just now, as long as you don't mind." Ye Qiao smiled, and said to Mei Hanyue, "You said that there are a few friends coming today, so they must be a few fellow daoists, right? Fellow daoists helped us out of the siege , you will accompany them to look in the pavilion today, if you need any spiritual herbs, go to the warehouse to get them as soon as possible."

Mei Hanyue also planned to take them there secretly, but she also smiled when she heard this.

"Okay, don't worry, Chief Manager."

Manager Ye was also busy, so he left after giving these orders, and took away the pale-faced junior manager. There were many people in the hall, and Manager Ye asked Mei Hanyue to take him and Ruan Qiu to the side room to make a deal in order to make amends for the young man.Mei Hanyu was the person who worked under the chief steward, and was far more decent in dealing with people than the junior steward. He politely led the plainly dressed boy and Ruan Qiu upstairs into the wing room.

Regarding the deal between Ruan Qiu and the boy, Mei Hanyue just waited in front of the door to avoid suspicion, and shook her head when she mentioned the little steward just now.

"I thought it was a clever one. Who would have thought that it would cause trouble just a few days after it was brought up. The monthly silver should be gone in the past few months. It is estimated that he will be sent to do odd jobs. I don't know when he will be able to return to the pavilion."

Song Xinting overheard, "So serious?"

"The rules in the pavilion have always been strict." Mei Hanyue said: "However, the chief steward has always been lenient to his subordinates. If in the past, when the shopkeeper Tang was in charge of the Liutong Spring Pavilion, this little steward would probably be beaten up and thrown out. The six contracts are in the Spring Pavilion."

Song Xinting raised his eyebrows, "Master Tang?"

Mei Hanyue smiled, shook her head and said, "Stop talking, it's hard to say."

Song Xinting didn't ask any more questions, but he was more concerned. This shopkeeper Tang was the junior brother Tang Xun who broke with the city lord Song Yantai as Xiaoqiu said, and they are also their neighbors now.

Song Xinting thought about it, and looked back at Ruan Qiu and the boy in the wing room. At this moment, Ruan Qiu had checked the spirit grass and was about to give the spirit stone.

There are no outsiders in this wing room, and the young man is no longer cramped, "If you have something else to do, Daoist Ruan, go and do it first. When you come back when you are free, then go to the big shopkeeper's house next door and give me the spirit stone."

Only then did Ruan Qiu realize that the young man looked familiar, and it was funny to think about it, "You're a servant in Shopkeeper Tang's family? But why do you..."

The boy was also a little embarrassed, "My name is Tang Li. My younger brother has entered the Song family school. He is about to build a foundation recently. He is short of a lot of spiritual stones, and it is not easy to borrow from the big shopkeeper... Don't worry, friend Ruan! This Thousand Illusion Grass is The shopkeeper threw it to me when he couldn't support himself."

Ruan Qiu suddenly realized that he still counted more than 8000 spirit stones in the low-level storage bag on the spot, and handed them to Tang Li, "Building a foundation is a major event, and cultivation consumes spirit stones the most. Next time, if there is a lack of spirit stones, I'd better go to shopkeeper Tang. Well, your shopkeeper is a good person."

Holding the storage bag, Tang Li showed a somewhat distressed look on his face, and nodded hesitantly, "Thank you, Daoist Ruan, and please help me keep it a secret. I don't want the shopkeeper to know that I lack spirit stones."

Although Ruan Qiu was puzzled, it didn't hurt him, so he agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, if you have something to do, go first."

The Jinxiu Workshop is not small, and Tang Li is also very busy as a servant next to the shopkeeper Tang.Considering that Tang Li was carrying a lot of spirit stones, and was seen by so many people in front of the door just now, Mei Hanyue specially called a clerk to send him to the back door.

After sending Tang Li away, Mei Hanyue took Ruan Qiu and the others upstairs to look for the spirit grass he wanted, "I originally wanted to secretly withhold the secrets in the warehouse for you, but this time the manager has spoken, what do you want? Just tell me the spirit grass, I'll go get it."

Ruan Qiu was not polite to her, and took out the list. He didn't plan to collect ordinary spiritual herbs here. The lists were all rare spiritual herbs above the fifth rank. Half will be kept for auction next month."

"Then, shall I come back at the auction?" Ruan Qiu didn't really want to embarrass her.

Mei Hanyue smiled and said: "That's not necessary, you have helped a lot today, the chief manager said, I can get these spirit herbs, but the price is not low, and there are some spirit grass pavilions that are not currently available."

"Price is not a problem." Ruan Qiu didn't worry about it, "If I can't get it, I'll look elsewhere. This time, I have Sister Lao Hanyue."

Who made Ruan Qiu look good-looking, with a big sister, it was hard for Mei Hanyue to refuse such a beautiful younger brother. Fortunately, Ye Qiao had spoken, so she would not be in trouble, and led Ruan Qiu and the others to the warehouse to find more than a dozen items that Ruan Qiu wanted. The spirit grass, calculated to cost nearly tens of thousands of spirit stones, made Ah Xi speechless on the spot.

Song Xinting was also surprised, especially when Ruan Qiu was able to give out the spirit stone.

He thought to himself, it is impossible for Xiaoqiu to have so many spirit stones, could these not belong to that Yin Sword Saint?He is a good master, but Xiao Qiu is such a prodigal, how long can this good master endure him?

When I came out of the Spring Pavilion of Liutong, half a day had passed before I knew it, dusk had come, and it was time for the Spring Pavilion of Liutong to close.

Mei Hanyue, a moderate manager, also quit work, and went back with Ruan Qiu and the others, they lived across the street, and they all dropped by.

However, when she just walked out of the street where Liutong Chunge is located, Mei Hanyue touched her sleeve pocket and said angrily: "The nettle that my sister gave me is gone, it must have left it in the medicine storehouse, I will go back and look for it, you guys Go back first, don't wait for me."

Ruan Qiu harvested a lot of spiritual herbs today, and it was the time to be satisfied, but after a while, it was dark, and Shifang City was not safe at night, so he
