Beiyin Great Sage

  Chapter 185 Friends

  The rain gradually became sparse.

   Shopkeeper Tian took off his coir raincoat, shook off the mud spots on his shoes, nodded and bowed in front of several guards, explained the reason, and then stepped inside.

   Front lobby.

   A group of guards guarded against death, the inexplicable coercion made him bow subconsciously, and he was relieved until he saw a figure sitting beside him.

   "Elder Zhou."

   "Treasurer Tian."

  Zhou Jia put down the scroll in his hand, nodded and signaled:

   "You are here, sit down."

   "Don't dare, dare not." Shopkeeper Tian waved his hands again and again, facing a strong black iron man, the gap in cultivation and status made him dare not even look up.

  He took out a bottle of elixir from his sleeve and presented it, saying:

   "The precious medicine sent by the master this month."

   "Thank you." Zhou Jia nodded, took the porcelain bottle, and opened the lid casually.

   "Boom!"

  A strong medicinal fragrance hits the face.

  Long-term experience in taking medicine allowed Zhou Jia to discern many ingredients in it by gently sniffing his nose, and a look of satisfaction immediately appeared on his face:

   "Miss Xu has a heart for a precious medicine with source quality."

   "Should be, should be." Shopkeeper Tian nodded again and again:

   "The master also hopes that Elder Zhou will succeed in cultivation, and our business will grow bigger and bigger in the future. The matter of Baoyao has always been taken to heart."

   "Yes." Zhou Jia put away the pill, looked up:

   "Speaking of which, I haven't heard Ms. Xu talk about business matters for some time. How is Mr. Xu's current situation after returning?"

   "Mr. Xu." Shopkeeper Tian had a strange expression:

   "The owner of the Blood Vine Tower showed up that day and killed Senior Cai. Mr. Xu was frightened and lay in bed for several days. It has been several months now, and I heard that he still hasn't recovered."

   "I'm afraid it's..."

   "Abandoned!"

   Having said that, he lowered his head and suppressed the smile on his face.

  He is a native of Shicheng.

  Being favored by Qian Xiaoyun and Xu Xiuzhi early on, he became the treasurer of the local Qianling Pavilion. With today's status, he is unwilling to change the owner.

  Zhou Jia raised his eyebrows.

  He didn't expect that Xu Chang's ability to bear it would be so weak, but that's good, it saved a lot of trouble.

   "Elder Zhou." Shopkeeper Tian said:

   "This batch of goods..."

   "Go to my house to find Sanshui." Zhou Jia came back to his senses, took a token from his body and handed it over:

   "Let him take you to pick it up."

   "Yes." Shopkeeper Tian's eyes lit up:

   "The villain is leaving."

  Watching the other party leave, Zhou Jia slowly retracted his gaze.

  Since he found the precious medicine in the Blood Vine Tower and tasted the rapid improvement brought by the source quality medicine to his cultivation, he no longer regarded ordinary medicines in his eyes.

   months.

   One level!

   This kind of entry can make others envious.

   It is no wonder that some people in the inner sect, the military, and even the royal family can still improve by leaps and bounds after advancing to the black iron.

  It's a pity that the source quality medicine is so rare that ordinary people can't afford it.

   Fortunately, Zhou Jia's way is wide enough.

  Every month, the Xu family will send a bottle, and there is also a Heavenly King Pill from Lei Mei, plus a large number of common pills to assist, the progress of cultivation is still not slow.

   Two years!

   It didn't even take two years for him to break through the second hurdle of the Shenhuang Jue.

   In short,

  The future can be expected!

  ...

   "Uncle Zhou."

  Not long after shopkeeper Tian left, another person came from Xiaolang Island.

  The person whose surname is Ke is over forty years old, but his seniority is low and his cultivation level is not high. He has been doing trivial things on the island.

   People called Ke Guanshi.

  He cupped his fists and said:

   "A lot of newcomers have come to the island recently, and the seniors are not enough. Elder Yang said that you should choose two people to be your disciples."

   "Huh?" Zhou Jia frowned slightly:

   "So urgent."

  According to the rules of the Xuantian Union, in order to continue the inheritance of the human race of the Dalin Dynasty, every black iron powerhouse needs to accept apprentices to pass on the law.

   In this way, to inherit martial arts.

  But if it is a newly promoted black iron, it is not necessary to accept apprentices in the past few years.

   Zhou Jia, who has outstanding talent and a promising future, can even never accept apprentices, and concentrate on practicing and pursuing higher realms.

certainly,

  This is only in theory, the actual operation is different.

   "In the past few years, there were fewer people on the island." Manager Ke said embarrassingly:

   "I don't know why recently, we have a lot of disciples in this lineage, and the seniors are too busy, so we can only trouble the uncle."

   "Uncle Zhou, don't worry, I just have a quota with you, and you don't need to worry about it in normal times."

"certainly…"

  He raised his head and said:

   "They can follow you if you want."

   Zhou Jia shook his head secretly.

  It seems that there are more people who go through the back door this year, and their disciples are also targeted, but they don't give any benefits.

  Some people on the island are too stingy.

  He sighed softly and stretched out his hand to signal:

   "Bring the list."

   "Yes." Ke Guanshi was overjoyed, and hurriedly took out a booklet, and opened a few pages:

   "Look, uncle, this is a group of outstanding disciples, two of them are less than twenty years old and have already reached the peak of the seventh rank."

   "This person..."

   "Yang Ku?" Zhou Jia paused his finger on the name of one of them, and said with a smile:

   "Five grades, can you also get started?"

   "This..." Ke Guanshi rolled his throat and said:

   "This son has a foreign surname of Yang's, so let's be more accommodating."

   Zhou Jia shook his head.

  This Yang Kushi is the son of Yang Xuan. Although they are all surnamed Yang, they have nothing to do with the Yang family on Xiaolang Island.

   I am afraid that I have gained a lot of benefits, so I came in.

   It's funny to say.

  Yang Xuan tried every means to send Yang Ku to Xiaolang Island so that his son would not be encumbered by his identity, but he never thought that the two owners of Xueteng Building were from the island.

   Is it not a sheep into a tiger's mouth?

   "Just him." Zhou Jia smiled and pointed to Yang Ku's name:

   "I have also been instructed by Elder Yang. This son is included in my name as a reward. There is also this man named Lin Yuan, come here together."

"Yes."

  Ke Guanshi should be, bowing his head.

   "Elder Zhou!"

  At this time, Lei Yue walked out from the backyard:

   "It's all right here. Sister Mei said that she's been busy these days and she's a little tired. She just has no plans for today. She plans to go to Qihuju to get together with a few friends, just to relax."

"it is good!"

  Zhou Jia nodded and got up slowly:

"let's go!"

  *

  *

  *

  As more and more people supported Lei Mei, her trip became more formal.

  A guard of honor of dozens of people led the way, followed by more than a dozen elite guards, accompanied by Zhou Jia, who has become a black iron.

   There are also Chen Ying, Lei Yue and others, who are busy.

  The huge team, although there was no loud gongs and drums, the silent majesty also made the pedestrians on the road retreat to the sides early to avoid it.

  Xihuju is located in the city.

  It was originally a courtyard of a rich family, but later it was converted into a garden with a winery and an inn inside, and it gradually became a place for banquets and gatherings.

  Second floor.

  Dense branches and clusters of flowers block the window, and through the gap, the convoy outside can be seen from afar.

   "Sister Mei'er is really different. Traveling is so lively now, and she will become the leader of the Tianhu Gang in the future. Is that okay?"

  Someone opened the window outwards and spoke in a low voice.

   "Who said no?"

  In the house, there are many charming smiles, full of envy and envy:

   "In my opinion, Sister Meier doesn't have to think about marrying anyone anymore. With her current status, will she have any kind of man she wants?"

   "Build a golden nest and raise a bunch of men!"

"enough."

   Someone frowned and reprimanded in a low voice:

   "We used to say this kind of thing in private, but now that Sister Mei has heard it, even if she doesn't mind, the people around her will too."

   "Don't ask for trouble!"

"Humph!"

  Someone snorted:

   "That's right, Lei Mei's status is different. She is going to be a leader. How can she have time to hang out with idlers like us in the future."

   "If you don't want to come, you can go!"

  One person looks at it coldly:

   "You think the current Lei Mei is something we can see whenever we want. In my opinion, your family members are probably hoping that you can come to Lei Mei and get acquainted."

"you…"

   "You what you, aren't you?"

"enough!"

  A woman stood up and shouted loudly:

   "If you talk too much, get out of here."

  The identities of this woman seem to be quite different. All the women turned pale when they heard the words, and no one dared to refute, and they all bowed their heads and fell silent.

   "Why didn't Baimen come?"

  The woman scanned her whole body, frowning:

   "I wrote her a letter."

  "Sister Huan, the eldest brother of Baimen is competing with sister Meier for the position of leader of the Tianhu Gang. It is said that sister Meier secretly hired someone to assassinate Qiu Yingchen." A woman said:

   "The two of them have already cut off their friendship."

   As he spoke, he shook his head slightly, with regret on his face.

  All the daughters are daughters of powerful families in the city, but there are only a few of them at the core.

  Besides Lei Mei and Qiu Baimen, Meng Bulijiao and Jiao Bulimeng belonged to Ouyang Huan of the city lord's mansion, and the two young ladies of the Su family had the most detached identities.

  The two daughters of the Su family did not come today.

  Qiu Baimen didn't come either.

   On the contrary, there are some people who are not of high status. After hearing the news, they catch up with various connections and rush over here, just to get acquainted with Lei Mei.

   There are not many such people.

   "..."

  Ouyang Huanqiao's face was tense, she paused, and waved her hand:

   "Yu Rong and Qing Ye stay here, and the others go downstairs."

   "The party of our sisters, should we come? Why are there so many useless outsiders here? It makes me upset when I look at it."

   "Sister Huan!" As soon as these words fell, the complexions of the women who had a good relationship on weekdays changed.

   Opening his mouth to speak, he saw that Ouyang Huan's pretty face was full of evil.

"it is good."

"All right."

  The faces of all the girls were stiff, but they didn't dare to say much in the face of Ouyang Huan who was obviously angry. They talked to each other and went downstairs one after another.

   Only two women remained.

   There was an immediate silence in the field.

   "Sister Huan, there's no need to be angry."

  Yu Rong has a soft temperament and a soothing voice:

   "They were also forced to come here by their family members. As young ladies from a rich family, they flatter others. They may not be happy in their hearts, and there is no need to vent their anger."

   "Yurong, you are still so good-tempered." Ouyang Huan shook his head lightly, his face was filled with irritability, and he reached out and rubbed his brows:

   "We haven't been together for a while, Lei Mei is full of troubles, and we can't help much. It is also good to talk to her."

   As he spoke, he looked at the woman with a cold temperament:

   "Qing Ye, don't keep your face so sullen, just say a few more words."

   "There's nothing to say." Qing Ye shook her head:

   "Wine, I can drink enough with her."

   "Puff!"

  The two girls laughed when they heard the words, like flowers trembling.

  Ouyang Huan shook his head again and again:

   "If you can really get Lei Mei drunk, it's a good thing, she really should relax now."

   While speaking, the sound of footsteps came from outside.

  The door opens.

   Lei Mei and Chen Ying walked in.

   "Sister Huan, Yu Rong, Qing Ye..."

  Looking at the three daughters, the majesty on Lei's eyebrows also slowly dissipated, reappearing the past daughter's home posture, smiling and nodding:

   "You are all here."

   "Thunder Eyebrow." Ouyang came to her side happily, reached out and touched her cheek, his eyes couldn't bear it:

   "It's only been a few days since I saw you, why is your skin so dry, and your eyes are bloodshot, maybe you haven't had a good rest for some time?"

"Hey!"

   "The position of the gang leader..."

   "Forget it, let's not talk about these annoying things, sit down and drink, don't think about those messy trivial things today, have a good drink!"

   "Okay!" Lei Mei nodded heavily.

   These days, she has been traveling between various forces, working hard, and has been questioned repeatedly, and the blows have never stopped.

  Work hard, work hard, and have no leisure time.

  Benefits have not been seen.

  The sisters who were close to each other in the past, have broken up with themselves.

  The sadness in my heart is beyond words.

   But they can't speak, they can't talk about it. If you want to be a gang leader, how can you have a little daughter.

  The position of the future gang leader is like an invisible shackle, firmly restraining her, reminding her to be moderate in every move.

   Only in front of these people in front of him can he relax a little.

   "Have a good drink today!"

  Chen Ying on the side opened her mouth, but stopped talking.

  She should remind Lei Mei to pay attention to her words and deeds, but during this period of time, the other party's fatigue is also taken into account, and she can't bear it.

  After so many busy days, it doesn't hurt to relax.

   Yurong smiled lightly, turned around to tidy up the seats, food and drinks, and when the other women didn't notice, the halo in her eyes dimmed quietly.

  *

  *

  *

  Living Lake is not far away.

   The two stood in a pavilion somewhere, looking down at the convoy passing by.

   "Tiger Gang!"

  Su E narrowed his eyes slightly, and sneered:

   "There is really no one to choose, and a woman is supposed to be the leader of the gang. The people on Xiaolang Island are really becoming more and more useless."

   "Second Uncle."

  Su An stood behind him, his eyes flickering:

   "It really doesn't matter?"

   "What are you afraid of?" Su E looked back and said:

   "Don't forget, you are a child of the Su family, even if you take her body, can Xiaolangdao still kill you?"

   "It's a big deal, just marry him back."

   "That's good!" Su An rubbed his hands together:

   "That girl Lei Mei has an outstanding appearance and figure, but she has a stronger temper, but this kind of woman is more interesting to play with."

   "That's how it should be!" Su E smiled:

   "Women, men's playthings, if you want to play, you should play aggressively, so you can have fun, let alone Lei Batian's daughter!"

  Speaking of the word Lei Batian, his expression twisted slightly, and a trace of fear subconsciously flashed in his eyes.

   But it was suppressed in an instant.

   "Are you sure you can take down Lei Mei?"

   After calming down, Su E said:

   "This girl's strength is not weak. You have been hiding your clumsiness for so many years, and your cultivation base has improved, but you lack the experience of fighting with others."

   "I'm afraid you won't be her match."

   "Second Uncle, don't worry." Su An angrily smiled:

   "My nephew never likes to fight and kill. Why do I need to do it if I can solve it in other ways? Qiu Yingchen arranged for this matter, and he promises that nothing will happen."

   "But Zhou A..."

  He pursed his lips and said:

   "With this person following Lei Mei, I'm afraid I won't be able to make a move."

   "Don't worry about that." Su E stretched his muscles:

   "Let me help you solve it."
