"Xiaofan, you are finally back..."
"Who says it's not the case... This kid has always loved to go into the mountains since he was a child. He has been away for two years now, and he doesn't know how to come back to see us aunts."
"Xiao Fan, you must have suffered a lot in the mountains. You don't even have any clothes to wear. Just wait, I'll make you a suit after I finish all my work..."
"Boss, why do I feel like you are getting stronger again?"
"That's right, I haven't seen you break through the realm, boss..."
"..."
As soon as he returned to the village, before Hu Mingxian had time to look at the flying boat in the sky, he was surrounded by villagers, all speaking words of concern.
Isn't that right? The two times he came back were late at night. After a night, he left before dawn without even meeting the villagers.
If this were on Earth, surrounded by seven aunts and eight aunts, the questions would definitely be about how his studies were going, how his work was going, whether he had a girlfriend, how much money he made a month... As for what the villagers called him, Hu Mingxian thought about it and realized that it was Luo Chenfeng who had put in a good word with them in advance.
Just as Hu Mingxian was responding honestly one by one, he felt something in his heart. He raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the village chief's wooden house, and saw a man with a standard crew cut walking over.
This man is not tall, a head shorter than him. He has an almost rectangular face with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose and thin lips. He always has an approachable smile at the corner of his mouth, plus the slightly raised belly, the whole person looks full of wealth.
Wearing a black robe, with patterns of gold ingots embroidered on it with gold thread, and a money belt around his waist, at first glance, it seems that this man's whole body is full of the smell of copper, for fear that others will not know him. Like having money.
It is this smell of copper that can be seen at a glance that hides the strong strength of the visitor. To be precise, it should be that people subconsciously ignore his cultivation strength.
From the pressure given by the other party, Hu Mingxian could roughly guess that the strength of the visitor should be at least in the late stage of the Divine Soul Realm, far from the strength that the two Divine Soul Realm Corpse Soul Beasts in the Tomb of Ten Thousand Corpses could match!
Seeing the village chief walking over with the owner of Wanbao Building, the villagers greeted Hu Mingxian knowingly and dispersed. Lei Niu, Dahu and Erzhuang stood behind Hu Mingxian nervously.
Walking closer, Luo Chenfeng took a step forward and introduced: "Xiaofan, this is the owner of the branch of Liuli Wanbao Tower, Shen Fang, the owner of Shen."
After glaring at Luo Chenfeng, Hu Mingxian cupped his fists and saluted, "I'm Luo Fan, I've met Lord Shen."
"You don't have to be polite, little brother." Shen Fang clasped his fists in return and said enthusiastically: "If you don't mind, it's fine that you and I are brothers. I'm crazy about how old you are. Just ask me for a while. Just call me Brother Shen. Little brother. how about?"
Hu Mingxian didn't react at all, but Luo Chenfeng next to him had a black line on his forehead. He had called him brother just now, and now he called his 'son' brother.
Although there are different opinions in the cultivation world, what matters is that the master is the teacher, regardless of age, and this boy is not really his son, but why does it always feel so weird... I am the 'father' who is still here, you are dignified Liuli Is it really okay for the owner of the sub-building of Wanbao Building to lower his status like this?
Looking at the smiling and approachable Mr. Shen, Hu Mingxian was also very strange in his heart. He wanted to refuse, but thinking that there were still many things that needed his help, he smiled and replied: "Then Luo Fan is so high-ranking, Shen Brother."
"Okay! When I come here this time, apart from anything else, it is a great blessing to be able to recognize little brother Luo Fan. Let's not go back until we get drunk tonight. How about we set off tomorrow morning?"
Patting Hu Mingxian's shoulder, Shen Fang laughed heartily and said with emotion: "When I saw him today, I finally understood what Longyou Shoal is. I just wait for the opportunity to travel."
"Brother Shen, thank you very much. Luo Fan is just a country villager. How can he compare with the heroes of Shengwu Tianjiao..." After some humility, Hu Mingxian said awkwardly: "Hongdou Village only has some fruit wine. I'm afraid we can't let Brother Shen." So happy."
"Alas~~ My Liuli Wanbao Building serves wine, and Hongdou Village serves wine and food. I wonder what the village chief wants?" After saying something to Luo Chenfeng, Shen Fang waved his hand and saw that hundreds of jars had not yet been opened. The sealed wine jar appeared in the center of the square.
"Lei Niu, Dahu, and Erzhuang, hurry up and get ready."
After giving the order, Lei Niu and the three people behind Hu Mingxian ran out to get ready.
At night, led by Shen Fang and Luo Chenfeng, the entire Hongdou Village started a "**" bonfire banquet. Maybe this time there was a prominent outsider present, and the villagers were a little reluctant to let it go, and everyone knew that the night would be over. When we parted, the entire banquet was filled with a touch of sadness.
"Come on, come on, Mr. Shen is here to toast you all." Holding the wine glass high, Shen Fang took the lead and drank it all in one gulp, then laughed loudly: "Don't be so formal, everyone. Since I recognize Xiaofan as my younger brother, then I Shen Fang is also half from Hongdou Village, so everyone just thinks that I am just visiting relatives from out of town."
"Come and drink, this is a good wine that I specially collected..."
"Lei Niu, Dahu and Erzhuang, these three children have good qualifications. Our Liuli Wanbao Tower happens to be short of manpower. If the three of them don't dislike it, they can work in my Wanbao Tower after they leave."
"..."
Who is the owner of the branch building of Liuli Wanbao Building? There are so many treasures and people he has seen. This subtle change among the villagers cannot escape Shen Fang's eyes. In a few words, not only They lowered their posture, narrowed the relationship between each other, and solved the problem that the villagers were most worried about.
Beside them, Luo Chenfeng and Hu Mingxian glanced at each other unconsciously, and both saw a hint of deep admiration in each other's eyes, admiration for Shen Fang!
"Everyone, stop being dumbfounded. It's time to eat and drink..." Luo Chenfeng stood up, raised his cup and winked at the captains of the three hunting teams. After being stunned for a moment, the three of them came over and started to understand. He stood up and toasted to Shen Fang.
I wonder if Shen Fang's wine was too strong. After one round, the villagers were a little drunk, and the atmosphere gradually became lively. Young girls ran to the middle of the venue, danced hand in hand, and sang songs. Five big and three thick. The men also started fighting with fists and drinking, and the sound of shouting and drinking could not be heard for a while.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Shen Fang also laughed frequently. He was used to the overt and covert fights and life-and-death fights in the cultivation world. There were not many opportunities to relax like this today, and he was indeed happy.
Hu Mingxian on the side was just drinking lightly from beginning to end. It wasn't that he couldn't let it go, or that he had a low drinking capacity, but the wine Shen Fang brought was really too strong. It was so hot in his mouth that he couldn't stand it. The water will be flushed out.
The strange thing is that even if you use your cultivation to resist, it will not work at all, but if you can swallow it, it will have a sweet taste.
While sipping, Hu Mingxian's eyes never left Shen Fang.
The more he observed, the more his knowledge of Shen Fang shocked him. It could be said that Shen Fang was the most tactful among all the people he had come into contact with so far.
From the respect that the subordinates he brought with him showed to him, it is not difficult to see that Shen Fang's usual prestige must be extremely high. This is not due to his status or his own strength, but to a way of dealing with others, understanding people and controlling them. People's methods are so impressive that they spontaneously generate respect.
Treating the villagers of Hongdou Village, he can also abandon his own identity and integrate with the villagers. Although he and Luo Chenfeng have reasons for this, this is not something that anyone can do if they want to...
The waiter in the shop still looks down on beggars on the street, let alone a warrior in a high position.
Being able to do this made her have a lot of favorable impressions of Shen Fang and Hu Mingxian.
However, Hu Mingxian is also really afraid of dealing with this kind of people. Such people are so easy to get along with. If the other person wants something from you, it will be difficult to say no.
And with Shen Fang's ability, if this is the case, he will be able to control what he wants within a degree that you can't refuse. This is very scary. What's more important is that Shen Fang's identity is a businessman. What a businessman cares about is profit, and he will definitely have a long-term cooperative relationship with him in the future...
Thinking of this, Hu Mingxian was a little worried about his money bag. He didn't know if 20 million spiritual crystals were enough to squander.
Beside him, Shen Fang was still drinking from a large bowl with everyone, rolling up his sleeves and eating meat. He really regarded himself as a country villager, without the image of a superior person at all. In this way, the subtle changes on Hu Mingxian's face did not change. It could escape his eyes, but he didn't point it out, just smiled faintly.
On the other hand, the two followers of the Bone Forging Realm not far away, whether because they were sitting at the same table as Shen Fang or for some other reason, behaved themselves from beginning to end, neither noisy, noisy, nor restrained.
At the top of the moon, three rounds of wine had passed, and the villagers fell asleep and fell asleep. Finally, under the leadership of Luo Chenfeng, everyone was sent back one by one.
Under the flying boat, Shen Fang pulled Hu Mingxian over, turned his big hand, and a set of clothes appeared in his hand.
Behind him, when the two Bonecasting Realm followers saw this suit of clothes, their breathing became heavier unconsciously. Their eyes moved when they looked at Shen Fang, as if they wanted to step forward and say something, but they held back.
Handing this set of clothes to Hu Mingxian, Shen Fang said with a smile: "Xiaofan, this set of Xuanjiao Ice Silkworm Clothes is a meeting gift given to you by my brother. I hope you will not reject my brother's wishes."
"this……"
He was really afraid that something would come his way. Hu Mingxian secretly smiled bitterly. He really couldn't find a reason to refuse.
Objectively speaking, he did have nothing to wear now. Logically speaking, what Shen Fang said was reasonable. If he refused, he would not be rejecting a set of clothes, but the newly recognized brotherhood.
"What Brother Shen is offering must be a rare thing. How dare I accept it casually?" Looking at the two people behind him, Hu Mingxian understood clearly and tried to say: "Why don't I pay for it? I can't let Shen Big brother is losing money.”
As soon as he said these words, Hu Mingxian regretted it. Wasn't this a slap in the face in front of his subordinates? It made him sound as if he was only interested in profit.
"Hahaha..." However, Shen Fang was not angry. Instead, he laughed and said, "Although Brother Wei is a businessman and values profits, who says businessmen can't value love and justice?"
"Take it, you will be my brother Shen Fang. You must be well-dressed, otherwise, others will not laugh at me as the owner of the branch of the Glazed Wanbao Building." Throwing the Xuanjiao Ice Silkworm Clothes to Queen Hu Mingxian, Shen Fang took two A follower flew into the air towards the flying boat.
"Well, thank you very much, Brother Shen."
Looking at the Xuanjiao Ice Silkworm Clothes in his hand, Hu Mingxian smiled bitterly.
