Yangquanfang City.
Zhong Yan led his concubine around for three days. He visited almost all the streets and alleys in Fang City and saw various monks and monk-related items.
Yan Sandao used to live the life of a bandit. He lived in the mountains all year round and was cautious when he occasionally entered the city.
Although she has always been cold and cold, she is only seventeen years old after all, so when Sui Zhongyan came out this time, she showed a lively temperament.
"Husband, what is that?"
"Husband, I want to taste the spiritual fruit!"
"Husband, mortal items here are so expensive!"
"..."
Since entering the city, she has almost never let go of Zhong Yan's hand. Her big eyes are curious about everything, and she asks questions in a low voice from time to time.
It also infected Zhong Yan - making him, a forty-year-old uncle, feel like first love in vain.
Back to the main road again.
Zhong Yan paused, looked at the Fire Cloud Pavilion, and took his hand out of the soft, boneless palm.
Yan Sandao was slightly startled and followed his gaze when he suddenly heard the husband beside him whisper an incomprehensible word: If he could be at peace, who would be willing to fight and kill...
Her lips moved, but she didn't ask in the end. During the past three days of wandering around, she came to the main street several times, and her husband would stop and look at this big store.
"Walk!"
Zhong Yan raised his feet and took a step forward.
The two of them went straight to the Talisman Trading Room. The shopkeeper Lin Zhengping had just completed a transaction and looked over with surprise, "Friend Zhong Dao, how long has it been? You didn't tell me that all the materials have been refined, right?"
"Elder Lin was joking. The disciple stayed in Fangshi for a few days. He is going back to Qingyang City today, so he wanted to buy some more materials..."
As he spoke, Zhong Yan took out twenty spiritual stones from his storage bag and handed them over, "The journey is a bit long, and it's been too many times, so it's not safe!"
He deliberately emphasized the word 'unsafe'.
Lin Zhengping's eyes flashed slightly and he said with a smile: "Okay, what materials do you need?"
"Half amulet and half amulet of rejuvenation."
Lin Zhengping nodded and picked from the cupboard, "I'll give you two more."
"Thank you, Elder Lin."
Zhong Yan looked at him for a moment, put away his things, and turned to leave.
When he walked to the door, a voice came from behind: "Zhong Yan, after you left last time, Chen Lianping came to inquire. Please get to know him."
Zhong Yan turned his head, but Lin Zhengping hummed a tune and flipped through the ledgers on the table, with no intention of talking.
Zhong Yan bowed down, his heart like a mirror.
If some people don't like you, they won't miss any opportunity and try to mess with you. Anyway, in the eyes of these people, you are just an ant who has no resistance and can be manipulated easily.
This is the case with Chen Lianping.
The last time we met, when Chen Lianping took a look at the Talisman Trading Room, and when he bumped into a stall selling talismans earlier, Zhong Yan expected that he would inquire about it.
As for Lin Zhengping, an outsider who had shown good intentions, in his eyes, although he had left the sect and Chen Lianping was still a disciple of the sect, he had no ability to pose a threat to Chen Lianping. A kind reminder might save him from an interception. In order to win more benefits in the future, why not do something with just one sentence?
After leaving the Fire Cloud Pavilion, Zhong Yan went to sit down at a tea stall at the end of the street, "A pot of Hanshan Lingcha."
Yan Sandao looked at her husband's face and felt something strange, "Husband, are we going back to the city today?"
Zhong Yan nodded, looked up at the sky, picked up the cup and sipped tea, and casually asked about his concubine's past as a bandit.
Not long after.
Seeing Chen Lianping coming this way from a distance, Zhong Yan spoke slightly louder.
Sure enough, Chen Lianping, who was approaching, noticed it. He was a little surprised, and the corners of his mouth habitually raised a hint of ridicule.
"Hey, Junior Brother Zhong, we are really destined!"
Zhong Yan raised his head in surprise, immediately put down his tea cup and stepped forward to greet him: "I've met Senior Brother Chen!"
A hint of surprise flashed in Yan Sandao's eyes. It was the first time he saw such "cautious and humble" and "flattery" in his husband. He quickly bowed and bowed, bowing his head.
"You are diligent when you come to Fangshi? Why, are you here to sell talismans again?"
Surprise appeared on Zhong Yan's face again, and he was a little panicked. He soon returned to normal and said with a smile: "It's just some inferior goods. I changed the materials and stayed in Fangshi a few days ago. I'm going to return to the city today."
As he said that, Zhong Yan took out five talismans and carefully stuffed them into his hands, "Senior brother of such low-level talismans will naturally look down on them. Don't be disdainful to me, and take them as a favor."
Chen Lianping lowered his head and looked at it. It turned out to be a middle-grade talisman, and the quality was pretty good. "Can you refine a middle-grade talisman?"
Zhong Yan thought that sure enough, shopkeeper Lin did not disclose the customer's information casually, and said with a wry smile: "I'm lucky to have improved, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to make a breakthrough with my poor qualifications."
Chen Lianping's eyes flickered, staring at Zhong Yan, and suddenly noticed Yan Sandao behind him, "Who is this?"
"Oh, she is my wife."
Zhong Yan turned around and glared, "What's wrong with you? This is my senior brother, who is about to become an inner disciple of the Fire Cloud Sect!"
Yan Sandao hurriedly stood up and bowed Yingying: "The slave family has met Master Chen!"
Chen Lianping glanced at her body with great interest, the evil look in his eyes gradually became stronger, and he smiled meaningfully: "Junior Brother Zhong has such a good eye with this face and figure. I am not so lucky to marry such a beautiful wife!"
The intention is so obvious, it is no different from being nakedly humiliated in public.
Zhong Yan's expression was ugly, and it disappeared in a flash, but it was enough to be caught by the other party.
Chen Lianping sneered, "Why, are you afraid that I won't steal your woman?"
"How dare you!" Zhong Yan glanced at Yan Sandao and said nonchalantly: "It's just a mortal skin. There are many of them in the mortal city. If senior brother doesn't mind that my younger brother has used them, you can take them away!"
Yan Sandao suddenly raised her head, her pretty face turned pale. After the first time, there will be a second time. If she is really given away today, she will only have one end in the future - become someone else's plaything and give it away, or be sold to someone else. The brothel fell into the dust.
"She is unlucky enough to be with a guy like you." Chen Lianping saw her expression clearly and looked at Zhong Yan with disdain.
Zhong Yan sneered, hesitating and struggling for a while, then said: "Senior Brother Chen, please take a step to speak!"
The two of them walked towards the corner of the alley ahead.
Yan Sandao pursed his lips and followed silently.
"Senior brother, you should know how difficult it is for me to break through. Now that I have hope, I want to go further. I have something..."
Zhong Yan looked around and pulled open a corner of the storage bag on his waist to show him.
Chen Lianping raised his brows and glanced at the items inside. There were only six low-grade spiritual stones, not many talismans and materials, but one of the two magical artifacts was of the third level!
Zhong Yan pressed the storage bag tightly, "I have been searching for a long time, but I can't find a suitable opportunity to sell it. Senior brother is very popular. If you can help me sell it, I will definitely get a generous reward, and my wife can also give it to me!"
Yan Sandao trembled when he heard this.
Chen Lianping looked at her again and said with a smile: "Where did the magic weapon come from?"
"Picked it up."
"Picked it up?"
"It's absolutely true! I picked up a storage bag on the way down the mountain to Qingyang City."
Zhong Yan looked sure and said sincerely: "Senior Brother Chen, actually you and I don't have any deep hatred. If I had stood up to speak for you, I would have offended him. My cultivation level was low and I had no backing. How could I do that?" Not careful? Senior brother should understand!"
"Every time I meet my senior brother, I feel uneasy. Can you and I take this opportunity to resolve this trivial rift?"
“Senior brother, don’t worry, I will definitely not let senior brother’s work go in vain!”
Chen Lianping stared at Zhong Yan for a while, then smiled and said, "Well, you have been able to tolerate it for so many years, so what else is in the storage bag?"
Zhong Yan's expression froze, "This..."
Chen Lianping's eyes were sharp and he stared at it: "Huh?"
Zhong Yan raised his sleeves and wiped his forehead, then gritted his teeth and quickly took out the magic weapon and handed it to him, "To show my sincerity, I will give this magic weapon to my senior brother first. If I can get rid of it, my senior brother will also find a seller for the rest! I hope you, senior brother For the sake of our former friendship, give junior brother a chance!"
Chen Lianping narrowed his eyes slightly and put the magic weapon into his storage bag, "Where do you live in Qingyang City?"
Zhong Yan did not hesitate: "Senior brother can find out about the house at No. 9, Wutong Lane, Sixth Street, South District!"
"It's a third-level magic weapon. It's not difficult for me to take action. You can come back to me in seven days with something."
After Chen Lianping finished speaking, he pointed to Yan Sandao not far away, "She stays."
Zhong Yan said with a smile: "Brother, why are you so anxious? My wife is an acquired martial artist. I also expect her to help me on the way. I will send her to my senior brother next time when I invite friends to go with me. She will only be around for a few days, senior brother." What do you think?"
"You are really as timid as a mouse, but there have been a lot of robberies recently. Just treat it as a snack to save your life. Go ahead!"
"Yes, yes, I hope senior brother will support you more in the future!"
After bowing and saluting, Zhong Yan waved his hand towards Yan Sandao and walked away, his feet getting faster and faster, as if he was running away.
Chen Lianping looked at the backs of the two people, his eyes flickered for a while, then turned and returned to Huoyun Pavilion.
