Chatted until dawn.
Zhong Yan finally had a relatively clear outline in his mind about the overall situation and intricate relationships in Yan State, and he also had some confidence in his heart.
Afterwards, the two chatted about home affairs.
"How are my brothers and sisters? What state are they in?"
"She..." Huo Donglai paused, pursed his lips and said, "Last year, we succeeded in building the foundation. Now, we are raising a baby."
"pregnant?"
Noticing that his expression was wrong, Zhong Yan asked without saying congratulations, "Didn't you say you don't plan to have children for the time being?"
Huo Donglai drank three glasses of wine in a row and remained silent.
"What happened?" Zhong Yan remembered that the other party was red-eyed when they met. Although he was an emotional person, he would not reveal his true feelings easily.
Huo Dong came to take a look, poured another glass of wine and drank it. He clenched his fists and trembled slightly. His face turned red and he couldn't say anything: "It's not mine..."
Zhong Yan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Shi Liangxiu's idea?"
Huo Donglai shook his head and said in a low voice: "Everyone in the Shi family thinks it's mine, and she doesn't know that I know."
"Because I always suspected that she was involved in Yun Mei's disappearance, I told her that I didn't want to have a baby so early. I was worried that she would deliberately not take medicine, so I took medicine before every sexual intercourse. But she told me that she had."
Zhong Yan was silent for a moment and said: "How old is it? It's not completely certain. There are cases where the medicine fails."
Huo Donglai raised his head, then lowered it again, holding the stone table with his palms, "More than four months ago, I suddenly went back once and bumped into a couple in the living room. They didn't even close the door. They were having fun. He didn't even notice that I was approaching."
"Although I didn't really fall in love with her, I never felt sorry for her. This marriage is also what she desperately wanted. Now..."
"Originally, I felt a little guilty for her. I was going to wait until Yun Mei's matter was found out. As long as it had nothing to do with her, I would wholeheartedly treat her well for the rest of my life."
Zhong Yan was silent.
Huo Donglai has real spiritual roots, and she is also good-looking and talented. When she first met Shi Lingzhen, she could see full of admiration and love for Huo Donglai from her eyes, but she ended up doing such a thing .
"Who is the man?"
"I don't know. I turned around and left. The smell was very unfamiliar. He must have been a new acquaintance to her."
"Then what are you going to do?"
"She won't reconcile."
"That man's cultivation level is probably not as good as yours. It won't be difficult for you to get the evidence."
Huo Donglai was silent for a moment and said, "That's it for now."
Zhong Yan took a deep look at him, nodded, poured wine, raised his glass and said, "Then let's each do our own thing."
Then he changed the subject and talked about things in his own house.
Huo Donglai's mood immediately improved, and he said with a smile: "When I have time to wait, I must go to Qingyang to see my nephews and nieces!"
It's time.
Zhong Yan took out the many stolen resources from the storage bag.
"You handle it. I've visited a few streets in the past few days and got to know the market here. It's probably worth 30,000 spirit stones. You can give me 36,000. You can keep the 6,000 for yourself. Can you take it out? ?”
Huo Dong glanced at his brother and said with a smile: "No wonder the elder brother said that I don't need to worry about the Foundation Establishment Pill. It's okay. I'll find Wufeng to take care of it."
Zhong Yan nodded: "You can think of the reasons yourself. For example, if you are a long-term guest, it doesn't matter if you know it's me. Qifeng has the answers."
No cheating, no cheating, Shi Lingzhen is in charge of all the money Huo Donglai makes from his shop, and most of it belongs to Wufeng.
When he and Zodiac got married before, he wondered if the other party was experiencing financial difficulties, so he only gave sixty spiritual stones as a gift after coming all the way.
"I won't keep it, so as not to be suspected and discovered. If you need it in the future, I'll ask my eldest brother for it."
Zhong Yan nodded, stood up and dissipated the alcohol, "Let's go and have a look at your place."
Huo Donglai was slightly startled: "Brother..."
Zhong Yan smiled and said: "Why, I'm going to be in Jingcheng for a long time, why don't you let me know the door?"
Huo Donglai nodded slightly, but he knew his brother's temperament, and he had agreed to bring his three concubines for a formal visit.
The two left the shop, bought some pastries to eat on the roadside, and walked through the streets.
Huo Donglai introduced various aspects of the fairy city while walking.
For example, among the forces in the city, in addition to the four major foundation-building families including the Tang family, there are also more than a dozen large and small immortal-cultivating families, and even more are entrenched in the market towns surrounding the fairy city.
"The City Lord's Mansion is in charge of the four major families in turn. Most of the Mansion Army and Patrol Army are children of the family, and some are casual cultivators recruited...are here."
Zhong Yan saw it from a distance, a giant peak that looked like a huge beast, rising straight into the sky.
"That stone palace is an office. Different caves have different prices. The spiritual energy gathered by the formation can reach a concentration that is no weaker than that of the mountain gate."
"By paying 800 spirit stones at one time, you can obtain permanent residence in the fairy city, which is the 'identity ring' in the hands of the eldest brother."
"Most of the people who live in Lingfeng are individual cultivators. The rich and powerful have their mansions all over the city."
"Every inch of land in Fairy City is precious. Not counting inns and restaurants for short stays, renting a small bungalow costs more than 20 yuan per month..."
The two entered the hall at the bottom of Lingfeng. It was extremely spacious. Many monks came in and out, and some people lined up in front of the portals.
Huo Donglai sent a message: "This is the lift passage constructed by the formation. I live on the seventeenth floor."
Zhong Yan was quite surprised, it was just the elevator in his previous life. At the same time, he lamented that he was short-sighted and had never heard of it before.
I went to the "Liu Li City" once in my early years. In just a few days, it was like "Old Liu entered the Grand View Garden". As Jiang Huan said, I couldn't even see it.
Take the lift to reach the seventeenth floor. There are twelve stone doors in the circular corridor.
"Brother, this way."
Huo Donglai cast a spell to block a groove on the door, pushed the door open and went in, "I'm back."
"Uncle!"
A girl dressed as a maid stepped forward to take what Huo Donglai was holding, glanced at Zhong Yan behind her, smiled, and then bowed her head.
Zhong Yan walked inside and saw that the space was quite spacious, a living room of more than thirty square meters, and three stone doors separated three rooms.
"Brother Donglai!"
Shi Lingzhen came out of the room on the left, paused slightly, and looked surprised.
Compared to her youthful appearance back then, she has become much more mature and charming. Wearing a well-fitting blue dress, she didn't show any signs of being pregnant. She leaned over and said with a smile, "I have met my brother!"
Quite polite, less arrogant than before.
"Brothers and sisters."
Zhong Yan returned the gift, but he knew that it was probably because of the eight hundred spiritual stones he had given Huo Donglai when he and Huo Donglai became Taoist couples.
After all, she didn't know that Yuan Ziyi was married to her, so it was impossible for her to look at her differently because of Qifeng.
"Brother, please take a seat. When will you come to Jingcheng?"
Shi Lingzhen asked with a smile, and ordered the maid to clear the things on the table. He also boiled water and made tea and was busy making tea. He looked like a married woman.
"Just arrived."
Huo Donglai lost his enthusiasm, so he invited Zhong Yan to drink tea and continued to talk about the fairy city.
But Zhong Yan was just here for a formality. After drinking tea and a stick of incense, he stood up and left.
"I asked my sister-in-law to lend me a loan for two days and take me around the fairy city. Wouldn't my sister-in-law mind?"
"What did you say, brother? You should come home anytime you have time."
With a smile on his face, Shi Lingzhen said to her husband: "Just let Xiao Hai look after the store. You can accompany your brother and take a look around."
Zhong Yan left the gift and left with Huo Donglai.
The moment the door closed, Shi Lingzhen looked suspicious, unable to tell what Zhong Yan's current level of cultivation was.
…
Zhong Yan and the others went to the shop and met a member of the Shi family called 'Xiao Hai', a sixth-level Qi Refining monk.
Some instructions.
The two left.
He originally thought that his brother was going to be his own tour guide, but after walking a few streets, Huo Donglai saw Zhong Yan stop and said, "I'm going back to the inn. You can go relax for two days, get some fresh air, and do what you like."
"Brother... let me show you around."
"Do I still want you to take me with you?"
Zhong Yan smiled and pressed his shoulder: "You can make up your own mind about your own affairs. If you need anything, tell me. There is no need for you and me to see each other."
After saying that, he turned around and walked away.
After walking around and talking to Yuan Ziyi, Zhong Yan changed his clothes, put on his facial mask and headed towards Lingfeng.
I learned from Huo Donglai that after Shi Lingzhen became pregnant, he would go back every day to take care of her.
I have been looking for an exciting woman for so long, but I still can’t think of it?
As for pregnancy?
Can't I come if I'm pregnant?
hehe.
Zhong Yan really didn't know that before, but he learned from Liu Ziying that it was okay between four months and seven months.
The time is right now.
Huo Donglai is not here again.
Zhong Yan was thinking about how to lure the snake out of the cave, but before he reached the Lingfeng Hall, he saw Shi Lingzhen walking out of the bottom door.
Good guy!
I created opportunities for you, and you really took advantage of them!
