Chapter 268: Foster father, please take a seat!
"Father, you are finally here." Yan Qi hurriedly greeted him.
Xiang Tiansheng, a burly man, was inadvertently disgusted when he saw Yan Qi's tone. He was not manly enough at all.
When there is bias, no matter how well you do, it will be wrong.
Yan Qi caught this keenly and did not speak, but Xiang Tiansheng also knew that it was not the right time to scold him. He didn't like the other party's temper, but the other party was indeed working for the Holy Fire Sect.
"Old Eighty-eight, you are getting stronger these days." He still had his style in greeting Tiansheng.
"Hahaha, my adoptive father must have taught me well." Yan Qi also started to compliment him, and then he said, "I have already arranged for my adoptive father and all my uncles and brothers to receive him."
"Well, you did a good job." Xiang Tiansheng said with reluctant satisfaction. Although this adopted son is not like himself, he is also very thorough in his work: "Where is this young boy Lu Xingshi, how are you keeping an eye on?"
"It's all under control!" Yan Qi said confidently.
"That's good." Xiang Tiansheng didn't like Yan Qi, but he trusted him, and then asked: "When I came here, I seemed to have heard that Lu Xingshi could destroy the secret realm. This matter was widely spread, but is it true?"
Although Xiang Tiansheng is said to be domineering and willful, he is not the kind of person with mental problems. If it is spread so widely, he must ask.
"This is true." Yan Qi did not hide anything, nor did he lie. After all, this matter was spread too widely. If he really wanted to fool Xiang Tiansheng directly, it would be the same as treating Xiang Tiansheng as a fool. The other party would only be suspicious.
As soon as he said this, Xiang Tiansheng's expression became serious. In his imagination, the secret realm was almost like a world. How could it be destroyed by human power.
If Lu Xingshi could really do it, would he still be a human being?
Yan Qi also saw the worry in Xiang Tiansheng's expression, so he comforted him: "Don't worry, foster father, what Lu Xingshi did is not as mysterious as what is rumored in the world."
"He was able to destroy the secret realm. It was just a trick. He had obtained a technique from a secret realm before. It seemed to be able to cause damage to the secret realm, but it was only limited to the secret realm. It was nothing but a joke to use it against the enemy."
"If this person really has such ability, how can the ancestors of Dongtian sit still? After all, this Dongtian evolved from the secret realm." Yan Qi said with a smile.
Xiang Yunge on the side had a trace of doubt in his eyes. No matter how he sounded, there must be something wrong with this.
"Seriously?" Xiang Tiansheng didn't really believe it, but he felt a lot more at ease.
Mainly because he thought that Yan Qi was right, the other party could really destroy Dongtian. How could such power be tolerated by Dongtian forces.
In fact, there is really no room for it. It's just that the Dongtian forces couldn't defeat Lu Xingshi, but were almost defeated by Lu Xingshi.
Of course, even if this kind of thing is told to Xiang Tiansheng, it is impossible for him to believe it. After all, he only believes in himself.
"That can still be false." Yan Qi said with a confident expression: "If Lu Xingshi is really so powerful, how can I grasp the other party's intelligence and pass the message to my adoptive father?"
"This man is not worthy of his name. It can be said that he has a false reputation. Compared with his adoptive father, he is completely different!" Yan Qi put a high hat on Xiang Tiansheng.
Xiang Tiansheng didn't like the way the other party was trying to flatter him, but he found good use of this tall hat.
"Didn't this person notice the Eighty-Eighth Brother?" Xiang Yunge asked abruptly.
"Of course I found out. Although Lu Xingshi is not as good as my adoptive father, he is far better than me. How could I hide." Yan Qi was a little surprised. He didn't expect Xiang Yunge to question himself, but he said it openly, He even complimented Xiang Tiansheng.
With just such a foil, Xiang Tiansheng felt stronger.
"How could you be so careless and be discovered?"
"Will that affect our dragon-slaying operation?" Xiang Tiansheng was satisfied and kept reprimanding.
"Don't worry, foster father, I disguised my identity. This person doesn't know my true identity at all. He only thinks that I am a merchant." Yan Qi said.
Hearing this, Xiang Tiansheng became dissatisfied. You are my adopted son, Xiang Tiansheng, and you are actually pretending to be a merchant. You have no shame at all.
Xiang Yunge also instinctively felt that there was something wrong. Although he had never met Lu Xingshi, he could transform into a real dragon under the suppression of Dongtian forces. How could he be a fool?
However, he also knew that now was not the time to continue questioning. He saw his father's dissatisfaction and hurriedly spoke to smooth things over: "My eighty-eighth brother's move was biased, but there was no problem after all. I must have waited for this banquet to wash away the dust." After a long time, the food and wine will be cold, and it will be hard for dad and uncles to eat."
After Xiang Yunge spoke, Xiang Tiansheng didn't have a fit, and then said: "Let's go, what are you doing?"
"Yes, yes, adoptive father, please come here." Yan Qi said immediately.
As he spoke, he led everyone into a mansion, where a banquet had been laid out. The good wine and meat made everyone excited.
They certainly wouldn't have eaten well on the way here, and it would even be difficult for them to rest.
Fortunately, everyone is an accomplished martial arts master, so they don't take this pain lightly.
Xiang Tiansheng sat on the main seat with a golden sword and called everyone to take their seats. On the contrary, as the host, Yan Qi was arranged to the end. Then naturally they started to eat and drink together.
"Eighty-eighth brother, over the past few days, have you collected Na Lu Xingshi's weaknesses?"
The table was hot, but Xiang Yunge came to the end calmly. He first poured a glass of wine for Yan Qi and then asked.
"No, I don't have this ability." Yan Qi said in a bad tone, as if he was ignoring me.
This is a normal emotion. Otherwise, if you can still look good after being treated like this, there is obviously something wrong.
"Hey, eighty-eighth brother, don't blame your father, he is just like this." Xiang Yunge also knew that his father did something wrong, but he had no way to correct it.
"So I am the only one who deserves to end up in this situation, right?" Yan Qi asked back.
"I have already told my father that after Lu Xingshi is killed, I will ask you to leave the Jin Kingdom." Xiang Yunge said quickly.
He saw a joking expression on Yan Qi's expression, and said in a low voice: "After killing Lu Xingshi, our Holy Fire Sect will be able to occupy Jin Kingdom, and then transfer me away. Young Master, don't you think this is too much? "
To be honest, Yan Qi didn't expect that the other party would be so straightforward.
Xiang Yunge also realized at this time that this seemed to be the truth.
Then he showed a forced smile: "Eighty-eighth brother, you misunderstood, that's not what I meant."
"Then this means it belongs to the adoptive father, right?" Yan Qi lowered his eyelids, as if he no longer wanted to speak.
This made Xiang Yunge extremely anxious. It would have been normal, but what if things went wrong in his life?
"Don't worry, Young Master, you know who I am, Yan Qi, and have been used to it for a long time. It's just that after this incident, you still hope to arrange a wealthy position and let me become a rich man."
"I think the young leader and adoptive father will agree to this small request." Yan Qi said quietly, looking as if he was unhappy in life.
"My eighty-eighth brother has said this. When the matter is completed, I will definitely get what you deserve from my eighty-eighth brother." Xiang Yunge quickly explained that Yan Qi is a talented person, how could he let it go like this.
There was a trace of murderous intent in Yan Qi's eyes. The father and son had gone too far.
Even if the benefits are not given, he actually wants to let him continue to be a cow and horse.
Unlike Lu Xingshi, who directly gave the "Golden Book and Jade Book" as a gift. Although it is indeed a bit strange, this technique is really powerful, and it also directly gives power to officials and gives them money and food. Unlike the Holy Fire Sect, which has a lot of monks and a shortage of food. What fell to him was only three melons and two dates.
Every time he asked for money for maintenance, he was inevitably made difficult. What he got was changed hands several times, and only a few were usable. It was entirely up to him and the controlled peripheral personnel to make a living.
The reason is not only this, but also because the distance is too far and he is not taken seriously. Yan Qi is also an exile in the Holy Fire Cult, so it is definitely difficult to fund operations.
"This is probably the fifth time the Young Master has said this to me."
"Stop saying nice things, I still want to retire and become a rich man." Yan Qi did not show any flaws, but continued to stick to his own ideas.
Xiang Tiansheng was stubborn and could not listen to what was said, but his son Xiang Yunge was different.
If Xiang Tiansheng didn't have the martial arts strength, he would probably have died a long time ago, and if his son Xiang Yunge didn't have the martial arts strength, there is still a 80% chance that he could secure the position of leader of the Holy Fire Sect.
"Forget it, I'll just treat you as my eighty-eighth brother." Xiang Yunge stabilized Yan Qi first, and then we'll talk about the rest.
However, he changed the subject again and asked: "I wonder if my eighty-eighth brother is sure to poison Lu Xingshi first?"
When Yan Qi heard this, he smiled suddenly: "Young Master, you have asked the right person."
"Of course I'm confident."
Xiang Yunge's eyes lit up. Although his father didn't like this method and would even scold him for it, it was nothing for the sake of his own hegemony.
"Okay, okay, if you are sure, I have a share in my hand..." As Xiang Yunge was talking, there was a movement not far away.
One of Xiang Tiansheng's adopted sons made a sound and fell down on the table.
"Hey, this thirty-five-year-old man, why is he drinking less and less? He is not manly enough at all." Xiang Tiansheng couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene.
With him taking the lead, the others followed suit and laughed.
"Hurry up and help him up, and then go find a basin of cold water and let him wake up." Xiang Tiansheng started to cheer, intending to get the thirty-fifth-born adopted son to get up and continue drinking.
But this scene gave Xiang Yunge a bad premonition. He looked at Yan Qi and saw that the other person's smile was getting brighter.
"Brother Thirty-five, you really can't bear to drink." Yan Qi's words made Xiang Yunge's heart sink even more.
