When evening comes, it's time for the collection to close.
When Ren Cangqiong walked out of this tower-shaped building, his steps suddenly became much more relaxed. Today's trip was really smooth and the harvest was huge.
Originally, he just wanted to find a book about space rings and read through it to see if he could crack the defensive lock on the periphery of the ring and open the ring.
But he didn't expect that he would actually be allowed to read the classic book "A Thousand Changes of Disguise", which could be described as killing three birds with one stone.
A first-level spiritual elixir is well worth the money, even worth it.
Ren Cangqiong was in a good mood and walked briskly all the way home. As soon as he stepped through the door, he saw that the yard inside was very lively.
First, Ren Cangqiong saw his brother Ren Xinghe sitting on a chair very comfortably. Beside him, a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes was groveling and talking to him. His expression looked very anxious and painful.
In front of the courtyard, there was a person kneeling, carrying several thick thorns on his back, and it was Master Hou!
At this time, Mr. Hou Hou was not at all arrogant as usual. His face was full of frustration and embarrassment.
Ren Xinghe slowly emphasized: "Uncle Hou, you know. My brother is the head of our family. I can't make the decision in his affairs. You still..."
The middle-aged man was Hou Tonghai, the father of Third Young Master Hou. Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, he looked back and saw Ren Cangqiong. He was stunned at first, and then smiled in embarrassment.
"Xianqiong Nephew, you are back..."
Ren Cangqiong looked at Mr. Hou who was kneeling on the ground and said calmly: "What are you doing?"
Hou Tonghai laughed and said: "This beast dares to offend your power again and again. I will tie this evil boy up. Second Young Master, please beat him hard."
Asking for forgiveness?
Ren Cangqiong wasn't interested in this at all. Beating him would certainly bring out some bad temper, but it wouldn't mean much.
After Ren Cangqiong was reborn, he naturally looked at the problem from a different perspective. He could not always stick to personal gains and losses, but should pursue maximizing interests.
He glanced at Mr. Hou with a sneer: "Clan Chief Hou, I have a heavy hand. If you let me hit him, I might kill him."
Hou Tonghai grimaced: "He deserves to be beaten to death."
"That's all." Ren Cangqiong waved his hand, "If I hit him, it would look like bullying. Well, I heard that Patriarch Hou is very powerful in Yunluo City. I am in need of some elixir here. If Patriarch Hou can help me,
I came to find you and let this matter be settled."
When Hou Tonghai heard him asking for something, he felt relieved. But when he heard the word "miracle medicine", his heart tightened again.
The Hou family is not a noble at the same level as the top ten families. It is true that there is no elixir reserve, but it is certainly not sufficient. What if this lion in the sky opens its mouth...
But at this time, he couldn't help but hesitate at all. Once he hesitated, it would appear that he was not sincere. Is the elixir more important than his son?
Then he said with a smile: "Second Young Master, you may ask, but as long as I am able to show it to someone, I will not be stingy."
Ren Cangqiong smiled faintly: "Don't be nervous, Patriarch Hou, I won't blackmail you. It's just a jade chun. I guess it's not a problem, right?"
Jade Chunzi?
Hou Tonghai thought he heard wrongly.
It takes only half a day to solve the problem with just one jade seed? Why did you know it would be so complicated?
Although Jade Chunzi is an elixir, it is only the first-level elixir of Chuling after all. He does not have it in Hou Tonghai's house, but if he asks for a ball elsewhere, he can definitely get it. After all, it is not a particularly precious elixir.
Looking at Hou Tonghai's relieved expression, Ren Cangqiong said calmly: "Clan Chief Hou, I want a jade chun. It's not because I'm easy to talk to, but because we all belong to the aristocratic circle. I'll give you three points of thin noodles."
If you don't talk about it, it's easy to talk to me when we meet. If I don't ask you what you want, I'm afraid you will feel even more uneasy, and it will make me, Second Young Master Ren, too easy to talk to, won't it? "
"Yes, yes, yes." Hou Tonghai nodded repeatedly. Ren Cangqiong's words made him feel in awe of Ren Cangqiong.
According to legend, the second young master of the Ren family was paranoid and vengeful. So Hou Tonghai was very worried.
When they met today, Hou Tonghai felt that the rumors were completely false. The second young man of the Ren family remained calm, but even he, the head of the Hou family, could not see through the other person's depth at all.
After listening to his words, I realized that the second young master of the Ren family was really a person. Indeed, as Ren Cangqiong said, if he didn't ask the Hou family for something, he, Hou Tonghai, would definitely be suspicious and frightened every day.
But by asking for such a small amount of things symbolically, everyone can live up to their reputation and not harm their harmony. He, Hou Tonghai, will not feel bad if he pays this price.
"Let him get up, it doesn't look good kneeling like this." Ren Cangqiong waved his hand casually.
Hou Tonghai then dared to untie his son and reprimanded him: "Bad boy, you have to learn from the conduct of the second young master of the Ren family. This is the son of a nobleman. He is neither shy nor arrogant and has tolerance for others. If you don't learn it well in the future,
No matter what, I won’t beat you to death!”
These words were not completely staged, but came from his feelings. Seeing Ren Cangqiong's calm performance, and then looking at his son's cowardice, Hou Tonghai really felt that his son was useless.
As one of the top ten families, the Ren family is indeed well-deserved. Ren Cangqiong has a mediocre reputation among the outside world, yet it has such a performance.
This made Hou Tonghai admire the Ren family even more, and he began to fawn over him unconsciously: "Second Young Master, I'll go back and prepare the jade chun. How can one look good? Good things come in pairs, old man.
I will definitely find a way to send you two."
Ren Cangqiong was noncommittal, smiled casually, and said nothing more.
…
Hou Tonghai was indeed very efficient. When he returned home that night, he went around looking for it. The jade chun seeds were not a particularly difficult elixir to obtain. Hou Tonghai got two of them that night. Early the next morning, he took them with him personally.
Hou Sanshao came to the door.
Old man Du and Xiao Qi opened the door for them.
This time, Young Master Hou was honest and didn't look sideways. Not to mention peeking at Xiao Qi, he didn't even dare to touch her with his peripheral vision.
"Second Young Master, these are two fine jade chrysanthemums. It's not a sign of respect, it's not a sign of respect." Hou Tonghai respectfully handed over a box of elixir.
Ren Cangqiong was polite and nodded. Xiao Qi next to him accepted it very cooperatively.
Hou Tonghai and his son breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him taking the elixir box. As long as Ren Cangqiong took it, it meant that the second young master of the Ren family really would not pursue the case anymore.
Hou Tonghai and his son felt extremely lucky that it could be ended in such a gentle way.
Ren Cangqiong naturally wanted to sell the good boy after getting an advantage, and glanced at Hou Sanshao: "Hou San, it's not a big problem for men to like beauty, but as the saying goes, a gentleman loves beauty, and he should do it in a proper way. You are acting so recklessly, even if
If it doesn't fall into my hands, it will fall into other people's hands sooner or later. By then, not all of them may be as easy to talk to as me."
From the bottom of his heart, Sanshao Hou was still very grateful to Ren Cangqiong. After all, if it were any other person, as long as he was a child of the top ten nobles, he would have had to shed his skin even if he had not died in these two incidents. But Ren Cangqiong
The second young master was so upright and upright that he refused to touch him.
If Ren Cangqiong really wants to beat him to death over this matter, he can only admit that he is unlucky and has no way to deal with it. Who doesn't know that the aristocratic circles in Yunluo City are very hierarchical?
You, a second- and third-rate aristocratic child, have offended the aristocratic children of the ten major families? You also want to be someone's personal maid, aren't you asking for death?
Hou Tonghai shouted: "Boy, did you hear that? That's why Second Young Master Ren is so easy to talk to. If it were anyone else, you might be lying on the bed now and unable to get out. From now on, if you don't learn well, people will beat you to death outside."
, I won’t let you bury your head in your ancestor’s grave.”
Ren Cangqiong smiled and said: "Clan Chief Hou, speaking of Hou San, I think his qualifications are not bad, and it goes without saying that he is useless."
This compliment, which was hardly a compliment, made both the Hou family and his son's eyes light up.
Hou Tonghai hurriedly hit the snake on the stick, patted his chest and said: "Second Young Master, we won't say any polite words. If you need our Hou family's place in the future, just say it."
The meaning of these words is already obvious, that is, to curry favor with Ren Cangqiong.
"It's easy to talk about." Seeing that his goal was achieved, Ren Cangqiong didn't express too much. From his position when facing the Hou family and his son, Ren Cangqiong should not be overly enthusiastic and just treat them indifferently.
After the Hou family and his son left, Ren Cangqiong walked towards the house. The three ingredients for making the Jade Rejuvenation Dew had been gathered. The preparation method was very simple, so now it was time to start.
