"Yes, Patriarch, this... this is definitely a magic weapon. One bow can be used for two purposes. It's really wonderful." All the elders looked at the bow in the hands of the Patriarch with envy. Everyone wanted to take it as their own. The idea of taking advantage and plundering came into being.
The clan leader also saw that this bow was definitely much better than any of their magic weapons.
If you can get it, even if you don't use it yourself, it would be a great achievement to give it to that ancestor. Thinking of this, the clan leader smiled and said,
"Xiaoyu, this bow is really good, but with your current strength, you probably can't exert its true power. How about this, uncle, I'll make the decision and compensate you with gold and silver. You really dedicate this bow to me." How is the clan?" When Qi Xiaoyu heard this, he immediately waved his hands, which was an obvious robbery.
"No, it was given to me by a friend of mine. No, it was lent to me. I still want to return it. I can't give it to the clan."
"Oh? Didn't you pick up this bow in the Land of Demonic Fall?" The clan leader knew that she had been to the Land of Demonic Fall, and thought she got it while hunting for treasures there.
"No, it was given by my friend. Patriarch, please give it back to me." Qi Xiaoyu anxiously looked at the Tianshui Sword and Bow in the patriarch's hand.
An elder nearby heard this and said displeasedly,
"Xiao Yu, you have to know that it was the family that trained you, and you are now a strong man. Naturally, you should think about giving back to the family. If you keep going, the family will last forever."
"Yes, treasures belong to those who are virtuous. Only in the hands of the clan leader can this bow exert its greatest power. It can also kill more monsters and make greater contributions, and the clan will also I’ll compensate you with gold and silver.” The people next to him sang in harmony, all urging Qi Xiaoyu to agree.
Qi Xiaoyu was not moved at all, just shook his head,
"No, my friend lent me this. I can't give it to anyone else."
"Don't talk nonsense. What kind of friend is willing to give away such a priceless treasure? This magic weapon is so rare that no one will give it to anyone else. Didn't you pick it up in the Land of Demonic Fall?" The patriarch was a little unhappy.
"They are really friends." Qi Xiaoyu became anxious.
"Oh? Then tell me, what is the name of your friend, what is his identity, and why he is willing to give such an expensive gift."
"That friend of mine, his name is... Qingyu." Qi Xiaoyu said seriously.
"Qingyu?" The crowd suddenly became quiet, looking left and right, everyone looked solemn. The third child of the Qi family suddenly laughed and said,
"Hahahaha, I thought you were going to name who it was. You can just make up a name. What kind of person is Qingyu? He is the best in Taoism in the world and the best among the third-level people. You are only a fourth-level person. How could you possibly recognize such a big shot?"
"Xiaoyu, we understand your feelings, but lying is wrong. How can you prove that this bow was given to you by Qingyu?"
"If you really knew that Qingyu, and he gave you such an expensive gift, then why didn't you go with him when he went to destroy the Gongsun family? Instead, Xuanyi, Chai Yuan, Princess Nian'an, Liu Are the prince and others gone?" Everyone laughed and taunted Qi Xiaoyu.
Qi Xiaoyu stomped her feet angrily, forgetting that the important thing now was not who gave the bow, but that others wanted to covet it.
Suddenly, Qi Xiaoyu had an idea, took out the stack of banknotes from his arms, slapped them and said,
"This is the 10,000 taels of silver that Qingyu gave me to use to repair the house in Fuze Garden and buy cotton-padded clothes and quilts for the children. There is also the official seal of the imperial court and the royal seal on it. Only by obtaining Only those who are rewarded by the imperial court can have this kind of seal on the silver notes issued. If you don't believe it, look at it." Hearing this, all the elders looked at it one after another and found that there was indeed a royal seal on it.
There are two types of banknotes. One is the banknote issued by the court, which has only the official seal on it. The court prints as many banknotes as the amount of silver it has, ensuring that each banknote can be exchanged for a full amount of silver.
The royal banknotes have the royal seal and are used to reward officials and princes. This kind of banknote has the best credibility and no one can forge it. It is different from the ones circulating in the world.
"It's really a royal seal." An elder murmured. "Yes, this was awarded by the court when Qingyu was granted the title of Marquis of Annan." Qi Xiaoyu explained.
In fact, this is not a reward from the title, but a silver note given to Han Yun when he killed the big demon on the Luo River and rescued Wang Fugui and was enshrined.
But the difference is not big. At this time, everyone really believed that this bow was given to Qi Xiaoyu by Qingyu.
"I seem to have heard that when Qingyu and others entered the Land of Demonic Fall, there was a woman in the team who wielded a longbow. She must be Xiaoyu." Qi Zhongqiu muttered, stroking his beard.
The clan leader chuckled and said,
"Xiaoyu, don't mind. We are just discussing with you. We have no malice and no intention to force you. If you don't want to sell this bow, we will naturally not take it from you. It is still yours." After saying that, he returned the bow in his hand to Qi Xiaoyu.
Qi Xiaoyu quickly took it and held it in his arms, looking at the elders around him warily. joke! What kind of person is Qingyu? Someone kidnapped his sister. He first wiped out the nine clans of the Sanchanghui and then the entire Gongsun family. He killed nearly ten thousand people with great force, which shows that he has a strong will to retaliate.
If Qingyu knew that the magic weapon he sent out was snatched away by others, he would not come to the Qi family to cause a scene.
And everyone here can see it, except that Qingyu can give Qi Xiaoyu the magic weapon and ten thousand taels of silver, which shows how good their relationship is. Qi Xiaoyu must be someone Qingyu cares about very much, otherwise how could he be willing to give away such a gift? many.
If Qi Xiaoyu's things are stolen and she tells Qingyu with a thousand-mile transmission talisman, Qingyu will probably transform into the old devil Qing on the spot. Although the Qi family is not afraid of Qingyu due to the background of the Qi family, if such a quarrel occurs, Qi Xiaoyu will I don’t know how many people will die.
For a magic weapon, the gains outweigh the losses, and there were rumors that the elders of the family had robbed the treasures of the younger ones. From then on, the Qi family became a laughing stock.
Of course, it can also be seen from this that Qingyu values love and justice, and is very generous to the people he cares about. Naturally, such a person can only make friends, not make enemies.
Qi Xiaoyu stuffed the banknote back into her arms. She originally didn't want others to know that she had ten thousand taels of silver, but now she couldn't help it.
The Qi family is not very rich. It is located in a barren area and has poor business. It has many strong men and troops to support, so ten thousand taels of silver is not a small amount for the elders.
She also knew why the clan leader returned her sword and bow because he was afraid of Qingyu's bad reputation and worried about offending Qingyu.
Thinking of this, Qi Xiaoyu couldn't help but feel a little sad. When she is at home, her father does not love her mother. When she is outside the home, others look down on her. Her family also wants to take away her treasures.
Those who were supposed to be the closest to her all harbored ill intentions toward her. In the end, the person who could help her, who could give her a sense of security and make her rely on, was Qingyu who was far away in Yanchuan.
That man was the old demon who scared the elders even before he showed up. The man with an unparalleled reputation for being able to stop a child from crying at night, but yet he was so considerate to her... a man.
