Chapter 1073: Unexpected Gains
"Shi Niang, this medicine seller is called Jie Chaoxiu. We are also investigating him. Do you have any other clues?" Yun Xiao quickly continued to ask. Xin Shiniang was shocked and replied, "This person's whereabouts are uncertain. It is said that even his age and appearance are fake. He can change as he pleases. Although he is a lone loner, he has had private deals with many masters of giant auras. He has always been low-key and does not like to cause trouble. How can you investigate him well?"
"Who made him cause trouble to Feiyuan?" Yun Xiao complained without hesitation, briefly informing the whole story, Xin Shiniang put her chin on her cheek and thought carefully, "I haven't seen him for a long time, but you really want to investigate him, maybe you can start with another person."
"Oh?" Yun Xiao became interested. Xin Shiniang pointed to the invitation letter that had been tightly clamped in her hand, and reminded with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't snatch this thing back. Open it and see the content."
Yun Xiao quickly tore open the letter. There was a thick letter inside, with some literary congratulations written on the front, and a few strange names were written in gilded on the back, with only two big characters "Tianjie". Looking at Xin Shiniang, she couldn't figure it out, but the other party didn't hide it, and explained bluntly: "The market on my giant aura is called "Ghost Market", and the one from Mr. Long is called "Tianjie". This kind of invitation letter was distributed by him. The names behind him were intended to fill the position of Mr. Wen and were invited to Luozhou Bay to attend the Ten-Plan Conference."
"Invited... can't everyone go to participate?" Yun Xiao continued to ask while holding the letter. Xin Shiniang nodded and shook her head. "Of course everyone can go. Luozhou Bay is originally the territory of Mr. Long, and everyone comes from guests. As long as you have the ability, you can participate in it. However, the Ten-Party Conference was held on the back of his giant turtle. Only invited people can enter. Wen Laosi's vacancies cannot be filled by anyone who wants to make up. They are all the first two old men. After the second master discussed, he selected the first batch of candidates, and then they can go to Tianjie to compete with their own abilities."
"That's it." Yun Xiao murmured in a low voice, not knowing what he was thinking. Xin Shiniang coughed lightly and pulled her thoughts back, and said, "The giant awning usually relies on feeding the Chishui coral. If not, then we can only leave it to fate to see the giant awning's own preferences. However, this uncle Long, his giant awning was passed down from his ancestors. By the time he was the fifth generation, it has been almost three hundred years. There are rumors that Master Xiu helped his ancestor tame the giant awning and let him only recognize the bloodline of the Long family for his whole life."
Yun Xiao blinked his eyes, remembering the power of the Night King to command all beasts, and replied in confusion: "Is the beast-controlling technique? If it is a person with advanced cultivation, it can be done. Why is it rumored that Xiu Ye helped his ancestors?"
Xin Shiniang's eyes sank, a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, waved her hand to her ear and said, "Because Mr. Long's ancestors are not a martial arts practitioner. It is said that they are just merchants. Not to mention things like Chishui Coral that cannot be bought in the mountains and seas, it is impossible to tame a giant aura for so long with their own strength. They were rich families in the past and were once prosperous. Since they entered the giant aura, they have been passed down from generation to generation. As long as the eldest son was born, they would never have any other children. They either died in the womb or died before a month. Such a big family business is probably richer than the emperor, but there is no successor. Mr. Long has a son in middle age, and now he is sixty years old. Moreover, this son is in poor health and has no grandson yet. If he accidentally dies of illness one day, the whole family will be ruined."
"Is it so bizarre?" Yun Xiao couldn't help feeling a chill. Xin Shiniang sighed and stroked the strange spider mark on her heart, and said with a complicated expression, "I have seen any strange potions for Xiu Ye. In this situation, the Long family is probably due to something. Xiu Ye is a person who does not seek money, sex, fame, or profit. His only interest is that he likes to study medicines with strange effects, so if you want to investigate him, maybe you can try to start with Uncle Long. His son is so in poor health and he is so sick that he has to die at any time. Maybe he has to ask Xiu Ye for help."
Yun Xiao nodded, stood up and saluted her seriously to thank her. At this time, someone came to knock on the door. It was the woman who just wrapped her into rice dumplings and threw her in. She lowered through the door: "Mother, that young man said..."
"Haha, be anxious." Xin Shiniang interrupted her and smiled with interest. She put on a coat to signal Yun Xiao to follow her, and said, "I've been anxious for so long. Forget it. I didn't want to offend people from heaven. Since I'm here, let me enjoy the friendship of the landlords and treat you well."
The two of them came to the back of the mirage together. Xiao Qianye pulled Yun Xiao back to her side and checked nervously. While Xin Shiniang asked someone to prepare for the dinner, she sighed sourly: "Don't glare at me, she hasn't even lost a single hair."
Yun Xiao pulled him and trotted to the side and told the truth about what had just happened. Xiao Qianye frowned, and he still swept over Xin Shiniang suspiciously with his light. Yun Xiao stuffed the invitation letter into his arms and said with a smile: "I'm really unintentional to plant willows and willows, please keep it in your hands. Next time we can go to Luozhou Bay to attend their robber party openly!"
Xiao Qianye grinned, couldn't help laughing, poking Yun Xiao's head to remind: "Who do you think Chonglan is? He is the leader of a robber? Even if there is no invitation letter, who dares to stop him from entering?"
Yun Xiao was speechless for a moment, feeling that what he said seemed to make some sense. He pouted in dismay and defended without being outdone: "Then, then, it's not a loss to learn about Chaoxiu anyway."
Xiao Qianye thought about it carefully and was puzzled: "I know the location of Luozhou Bay, but the Giant Ao uses Liu Island as its territory and is distributed in all directions. Although the Ten-Party Conference is once every ten years, the distance between Liu Islands is far away. Many places may not be enough for ten years. How did they get there?"
Yun Xiao shook her head, but the next second she pulled Xin Shiniang over with her familiarity. Xiao Qianye wanted to speak but stopped. Her unscrupulous forehead was cramped. Xin Shiniang secretly observed the expressions of the two and hurriedly replied: "Young Master should know that there is a magic that can create a unique space channel, right? Mr. Long's Yingshou is the commander of the Bieyunjian Cangtian Division. When the invitation letter is sent, a batch of coins that open the channel will be distributed. When the time comes, you can go directly to Luozhou Bay. This thing can be sold at a sky-high price in the black market."
As she said that, she took out a silver coin and stuffed it to Yun Xiao, and blinked at her mischievously.
Yun Xiao happily put it away and thanked Xin Shiniang thanked her. Xiao Qianye just glanced at the woman who was attentive and continued to ask: "And do you also think that the magic weapon that can cause a large-scale earthquake in the whole country is three bells? What is it like and what material?"
Xin Shiniang smiled and seemed to have opened her heart to her, and she took the initiative to say, "The bell looks very ordinary, just like the kind worn by ordinary kittens and dogs. The material should be silver, but it is not precious. Only three of them have such great power together. It is quite strange that one can't even shake it."
His hands were still placed on his neck, and his memory seemed to flash slightly, but he could not see clearly.
Xin Shiniang looked at his movements with interest, and her eyes were soon noticed by Xiao Qianye. He pulled Yun Xiao back to his side unhappily and asked, "No matter whether your experience is true or false, those who can do business in places like Shanhaiji must not be good at it. Why did you buy so many dragon blood beads for?"
"Hey..." Yun Xiao quickly pinched him and muttered in a low voice, "Be polite!"
"It's okay, the young master has a noble status, so you don't have to be polite to people like me." Xin Shiniang didn't care at all. She just walked a short distance and stood for a while and couldn't get angry. She pulled the chair next to her and sat down and took a breath, "The dragon blood bead is a great tonic, and my child and I need it very much."
Xiao Qianye stared at her, not sure if it was because of the lack of blood on her body. She looked really weak, only the smile on the corner of her lips was still gentle, with a hint of difficult sadness, and said lightly: "To be honest, when I was thirty, I took Xiu Ye's medicine and gave birth to these children. The days of pregnancy were short as few days or as long as ten days. Their growth rate was astonishing, almost twice as high as that of ordinary people. In just twelve years, they were already adults in their twenties. I was worried... so fast that they could only live half of the lifespan of ordinary people, maybe even shorter."
She lowered her head and squinted her hands, and her pale wrists burst out: "After all, they were born, I have to be responsible for them. I have worked hard to manage this giant aura over the years just to make them live a better life. I look like a group of children of strange origins. I am regarded as monsters wherever I go. I have no place to go except the giant aura. I am not disgusted with the name of the ghost market, and I even deliberately spread terrifying rumors, using magic to cover up the temperature to the freezing point. Although I am a businessman, I am also a mother after all, and the dragon blood beads can really make me and the children much more comfortable."
Xiao Qianye was silent and said earnestly for a long time: "But there are too few people like you in Shanhaiji. The whereabouts of the giant awning are hidden and not governed by the Liudao regime. The lord of the giant awning can cover the sky with one hand. How many people can not fall under such huge interests? You are also sold here. You should know more than anyone else about how many unseen transactions are there. Xin Shiniang, frankly, I don't believe that there are no gray transactions in your ghost market. Otherwise, in just a few years, how could you join the Ten-Party Conference and become their most core member?"
Xin Shiniang's eyes flashed with complex feelings, and she looked at Yun Xiao, who was still confused by him, and sighed: "There was a vacant position in the Ten-Party Conference back then. I did use some means, but the young master shouldn't mind, because at that time I had discovered the function of the dragon blood beads. Although the nearby Liudao is very small, the extracted dragon blood beads are very pure. Even in the mountains and seas, it is a top-notch quality. So while doing business with the dragon, I secretly killed many of them, and then sent some out to deal with some relationships. Haha, I hate the guys who only slander women the most, and I deserve it."
These words were ulterior motives, but Xiao Qianye did lose his mind as she expected. At the same time, he instinctively looked down at the woman beside him, indifferently aroused a warm smile, and said coldly: "The black market is not a long-term solution. It is better to withdraw as soon as possible. There is no need to worry about the dinner, so let's leave now."
Yun Xiao didn't dare to interrupt, and always felt that he was particularly unhappy. It took him a while to calm down before he could recover.
