"Jiangnan Jiangbei...a good name..."
The young city lord glanced at the masked man beside him. Seeing the man shaking his head, he thought that he had obviously never heard of these two people, so he smiled and said, "I'm Luo Ning, my father is the lord of White Crane City."
"I don't know why you two want to join our White Crane City."
Luo Ning said straight to the point. He couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly. The two people in front of him were very similar. They were brothers at first glance. One had a cold expression, and the other had a faint smile.
Although the two of them are about the same age as him, their cultivation level is much higher than his. Those in the Zhenxuan realm who are over 20 years old, even in those first-level big cities, are definitely enough to be among the ranks of geniuses.
Lin Fan sighed, put down the water glass, and rubbed his brow:
"My younger brother accidentally offended the son of a big family while visiting a chamber of commerce. The family has a big business and there are countless strong people in the family..."
"I see."
"You two plan to settle in Baihe City for a long time?"
"Well... I have this idea. We are here to seek cooperation from the Young City Master."
"Haha..." Luo Ning curled up his lips and said with a smile, "Mr. Jiang, please tell me."
"I want to cooperate with the City Lord's Mansion. You will provide the medicinal materials and I will refine the elixir. How about 50% of the medicinal materials produced?"
Luo Ning's eyes flickered, a little moved.
The profession of alchemist is extremely rare. Among these people, there is no one with eyes on their head.
There is a bottle alchemist in his city lord's mansion. When he joined the city lord's mansion, he also signed a 30/70 split contract with them.
But now the young man in front of him, who was talking and laughing so calmly, was actually willing to split 50-50 with them...
Luo Ning took a breath, suppressed the surprise in his heart, calmly said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang really likes to joke, so let's talk about your conditions."
Lin Fan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, took a sip of tea, and turned his gaze to Luo Ning:
"I have three requests. First, help me find a quiet place in the City Lord's Mansion without anyone disturbing me."
"Two, if anyone else takes revenge on us, the City Lord's Mansion will help me drive away the pursuers."
"Three, I want all the second-grade medicinal materials I can find in Baihe City."
Xiao Tian on the side couldn't help but twitching as he listened to the conversation between the two.
How could he become this boy's younger brother? He is obviously old enough to be this boy's grandfather.
Luo Ning frowned slightly: "I wonder what the strength of your two pursuers is?"
"At the early stage of the Lingxuan realm, it's a bit difficult for the two of us to face each other."
Lin Fan smiled bitterly and said helplessly.
"...It's only in the early stage of the Lingxuan realm. You two can rest assured that you can stay here. Our city lord's palace will help you drive away these pursuers. As for the share of this cooperation..."
"Haha...just follow what I just said, five to five."
"Hahaha, sir, you are very generous. I wonder what you think of my small courtyard?"
Luo Ning pointed to the quiet and elegant lakeside courtyard beside him.
The green tiles on the white wall of the small courtyard are covered with snow foam, and red lanterns sway in the wind outside the courtyard gate.
"Yes, it's a peaceful place."
Lin Fan nodded, with a trace of satisfaction on his face.
This place is close to the city lord's palace building, making it easier for them to find the fatwa.
"Since Sir likes it, then give this courtyard to Sir." Luo Ning said with a smile, and then waved to the maid beside him:
"Go and pack up all the things in my yard and give the yard to your husband."
When Lin Fan saw this, he quickly waved his hand, "A gentleman does not take away what others like. Young City Master, please don't do this. Just find a side courtyard for us at will."
Luo Ning took a jade plate from the maid on the side and thrust it into Lin Fan's hand.
He smiled slightly and said: "Sir, this is the formation disk of the small courtyard, with a first-level sound-proof formation."
"My father hasn't come back from his trip, and I still need to deal with things in the city, so I won't disturb your rest."
"Oh? The city lord is not in the city?"
Lin Fan asked with a calm expression.
"No, my father has gone out to do errands. He will be back in a few days. I believe he will come to visit my husband by then." Luo Ning said with a smile.
"Haha... I should be the one to visit." Lin Fan smiled and shook his head.
Looking at Luo Ning in front of them, Lin Fan and Xiao Tian's eyes met in the air.
It seems that Baihe City doesn't know yet that its city lord has been killed by the two of them.
In a short period of time, the higher-ups probably won't know, and there is still a lot of room for them to operate.
"If you two have any questions, just ask the maid to inform me. As for the medicinal materials, I will ask someone to deliver them early tomorrow morning."
"good."
...
Watching the two of them enter the small courtyard, Luo Ning put away his smile and looked at the masked man next to him: "Go out and inquire and see which city nearby has a registered alchemist named Jiang Jiangbei."
"Remember to find out before tomorrow morning."
"Yes." The masked man nodded in response and disappeared in front of Luo Ning.
Luo Ning took a deep look at the small courtyard behind him, then turned and walked towards the building of the City Lord's Mansion.
...
"People are gone."
In the small courtyard, Xiao Tian took off his long sword and said softly.
"I finally got in. How should I find the fatwa next?"
Lin Fan turned to look at Xiao Tian. This guy gave him the same impression that he was an old fox like his master.
"There's no rush... They don't know Luo Yan is dead yet, so Baihe City is still safe."
After all, Luo Yan was an official of the Chuchen Empire. Although he was only a small city lord, he was still an official. If he disappeared without any explanation, it would definitely attract the attention of the higher authorities over time.
What they have to do now is to find the fatwa and put it in
"It just so happens that I have gained some insights into the way of swordsmanship during this period. It's great for me that no one will disturb me here."
Lin Fan looked at the surrounding environment and nodded with satisfaction.
At this moment, Elder Eli's voice suddenly sounded in Lin Fan's heart: "Hey, you can take advantage of this time to practice using the medicinal materials they provided. Maybe you can touch the threshold of the third grade."
This secret technique that Xiao Tian didn't know where he got it from could actually help other people change their physical appearance for a long time, so realistically that even he could hardly see the difference.
It's a pity that one's own aura cannot be changed, otherwise it would really be an invincible secret technique.
He simply has a secret method that can hide his aura, which is just right for helping Lin Fan change his aura.
Seeing that the two of them planned to stay here for a while, Jiang Bei sensed his empty space ring and smiled evilly, "Hey, it's just right. There is a market outside the city lord's palace. It just so happens that I will go out to buy some goods tomorrow, and then go out and buy some goods. I'm going to run out of ammunition and food."
"However, I think the tea that Luo Ning drank just now is good. I will go and save the whole thing in the evening."
