Qian Chao was still busy these days. He went to the Chengqi Hall to refine weapons during the day and studied and practiced at night.
That Chen Xian came to visit with his two junior brothers who were recovering from their injuries, and Qian Chao talked with him for a long time.
After sending Chen Xian away, Shang Jie came to visit again within two days.
Qian Chao naturally attached great importance to this business introduction. The two talked for a longer time. During the conversation, Qian Chao asked everything he wanted to know, either directly or in a roundabout way.
Shang Jie is a shrewd man. He knew Qian Chao's plan when he saw Qian Chao asking questions non-stop. He owed Qian Chao a big favor. If Qian Chao hadn't spoken for him that day, the sword cultivator named Li would not have done it for him. He took action himself. Moreover, it was this junior brother Qian who used a shield to block Yun Xi's fatal sword for him. In this way, this junior brother Qian can be regarded as a life-saving grace for him. According to his heart, , Shangjie didn't want to owe others any favors, and always wanted to repay him, but after several attempts, Qian Chao was vague, but he just asked himself some matters within the sect, and he understood a little bit. The next thing you know, you can say everything you want.
Later, Shang Jie found out that Junior Brother Qian had once looked for him in the sect, just to inquire about some things.
"Junior Brother Qian, is there some trouble? You might as well tell me and let me listen. If I can help, I will definitely not refuse. Even if I can't help, I can still help you with some advice."
Qian Chao pondered for a moment, and then told Shang Jie what he could about what happened between him, Han Tian and Wen Zhang.
Shang Jie asked: "Hasn't Wen Zhang been kicked out of the sect? Han Tian has restrained himself a lot now. What else does Junior Brother Qian have to worry about?"
Qian Chao said: "Then Han Tian was attached to Wen Zhang, but Wen Zhang himself failed to live up to his expectations and was driven out. Han Tian lost someone to cling to. He will definitely hold a grudge against me. Junior brother, although I have no intention of dealing with Han Tian However, we are afraid that Han Di will not give up and has some plans to harm us secretly. If he comes out in the open, we will not worry. We are just afraid that he will use some shameful means. That is what we need. Be careful. Besides, Senior Brother Shang, a few of us did some things unintentionally when we went out this time. I'm afraid that even if we don't want to, we will have some so-called reputation in the future. Maybe we will encounter more things in the future. , It’s always beneficial to know more. I’ve heard people say earlier that Senior Brother Shang is well-informed and warm-hearted, so I decided to make friends with Senior Brother Shang.”
After hearing this, Shang Jie said: "Okay, in that case, from now on I will ask the brothers around me to pay more attention to what is going on over there with Han Tian. If Junior Brother Qian wants to know anything, just come to me and I will definitely find out for you." Clearly.”
Qian Chao said: "Thank you so much, Senior Brother Shang. Oh, last time I was outside the sect, I saw Senior Brother Shang's sword cut off by Yun Xi. Junior brother is not talented, but he has a somewhat false reputation in the art of refining weapons. Here is a sword The sword was carefully refined by me, and I gave it to Senior Brother Shang to prevent anyone from taking advantage of it."
With that said, Qian Chao gently placed a small wooden box on the tea table and pushed it towards Shangjie.
Shang Jie gently opened the wooden box, took a look inside, and couldn't help but squint his eyes, secretly thinking that it was indeed a good thing. I had heard that Junior Brother Qian was good at refining weapons, but when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary. The sword inside is already a rare and top quality among Qi Refining disciples.
But looking at the sword in the box, Shang Jie thought more about it. He knew that Qian Chao was a disciple of Chengqi Hall, and the one who helped him was a swordsman. When they were in danger, they To take action for himself, he must have seen it clearly when he fought with Yun Xi before, and naturally he could see clearly that the soul weapon he used at that time was a soul weapon. Needless to say, the sword cultivator surnamed Li must have scorned the Horcrux he used. But Junior Brother Qian, a disciple of the inner hall. Their inner hall has many and strict rules, so he must have some respect for the Horcrux he used. of resistance.
Now, Junior Brother Qian is giving him the sword. Firstly, he is showing his kindness to him, and secondly, he also has the faint intention of persuading him not to use Horcruxes again.
Shang Jie stroked the small sword in the wooden box with his fingers, and finally endured what he wanted to say. Today, Junior Brother Qian wanted to ask him about some news about the sect in the future, and he agreed. After all, this was not the case. It's a kind of repayment, but it's not a friendship. I'll have more contact with this Junior Brother Qian in the future. If I can have some friendship, it won't be too late to talk about those things again if I have the chance. Oh, Horcrux, do I just like to use that thing? ?
He is a free and easy man. Since Qian Chao gave the sword to him and he needed it, he did not refuse and accepted it after thanking him.
After sending Shang Jie away, Qian Chao commented on this person in his heart. When he presented the sword just now, he saw that Shang Jie was about to speak. Finally, he thanked Shang Jie casually and accepted the spiritual sword without saying anything more. This man knew how to hand over the sword. The truth is shallow but not profound. Some words were not spoken at the time, but he was a somewhat deep and measured person. It doesn't matter. When you interact with this person in the future, you don't have to look at Cai Jian and Bu Yannong, and put the word "profit" in front of him. It might be a good thing if you can become friends with this business manager.
Then Qian Chao took out another piece of paper and looked at it. There was a picture of a person drawn on it. It was the picture of the person who said he was watching the excitement that day (that is, Yan Jing's picture). He did not take it out to give this person. Shang Jie saw that he had just met this Shang Jie. He said that Han Tian might deal with him and asked him to inquire about Han Tian. But if he took out the portrait and asked him to identify it... Qian Chao still felt a little bit in his heart. I'm not at ease... After all, I'm not very familiar with Shang Jie. After all, I just met him. This Shang Jie is not as profit-seeking as Bu Yannuan and Cai Jian. Qian Chao is somewhat interested in making friends with this Shang Jie. , if this is the case, you will have to interact more with him. Only after you understand his character can you say something important. If they become friends in the future, they can just ask casually what they want to know, but if they ask directly with the portrait today... the heat is not yet there.
Staring at the portrait, Qian Chao made up his mind. If he figured out who the person in the painting was, he should ask Brother Ma Hu. That Ma Hu was also a shrewd person, but Qian Chao still felt more relaxed and at ease in front of him. Yes, maybe they don't know each other without fighting. If Ma Hu is there, Qian Chao will take out the portrait and ask directly without any worry. I believe Ma Hu will answer him directly if he knows.
Let's ask Ma Hu.
Then Qian Chao got up and went to the market within Jiuxuan, and sure enough he saw Cai Jian in the same place.
He picked and picked from Cai Jian and finally bought a piece of ore that was considered useful.
That night, Cai Jian came to Qian Chao's residence and told Qian Chao everything he wanted him to know. He also told Qian Chao all the other things he had heard. Finally, he took the spiritual stone given by Qian Chao and left with satisfaction.
After Cai Jian left, Qian Chao meditated under the lamp.
