Ye Qian suddenly woke up. The senior officials of the Liu family were obviously not very polite and friendly to him before, but then they immediately arranged for him to stay in a small courtyard. He thought that the senior officials of the Liu family had changed their minds.
But now it seems that there is no change in attitude, it is entirely because... people are not afraid of what Ye Qian will do.
Because, right next door to him, there is an existence at the ninth level of the Dao Peeping Realm!
Yes, Ye Qian has no doubt that Grandpa Qin is a strong man at the ninth level of the Peeping Dao Realm!
Otherwise, with the strength of his consciousness, how could he not be discovered? Although, it is possible that he did not pay attention, but his failure to pay attention should be due to his own ignorance, rather than...not noticing.
Ye Qian was very sure that when his consciousness spread out and enveloped the entire Liu family, he did not notice such an old man next door.
In this way, the Liu family's peak combat power is actually such an old man with a foreign name who looks like he is in his final years?
He was suddenly very happy that he still had the character of respecting the elderly and caring for the young. When he came out, he moved the recliner back to the old man and gave him a bottle of fine wine from his collection.
At the very least, the initial contact was a good one.
After Ye Qian thought about it, he felt very scared. He was sure that if he showed any bad intentions towards the Liu family, the old man would definitely get rid of him.
Although Ye Qian is stronger than the average person at the eighth level of the Peeping Dao Realm, and can be regarded as the first person below the ninth level of the Peeping Dao Realm, but... when it comes to face-to-face confrontation with the ninth level of the Peeping Dao Realm, to be honest, Ye Qian himself is not that big.
grasp.
However, it was pretty good now. He immediately poured a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp to calm down his shock.
"Mr. Ye, you need to eat something, drinking alone is really not enough!" Xiao Lian urged again.
Ye Qian glanced at the table. The cups and plates were in a mess, and several dishes had been ruined by this girl. Xiaolian also discovered this, and suddenly felt very embarrassed, and said in embarrassment: "Well...
How about we order a few more?"
Is this girl afraid that she hasn’t eaten enough?
Ye Qian smiled and ordered a few more dishes. He also brought up chopsticks. Although he didn't really need the energy from food, it was still good to enjoy delicious food occasionally.
The dishes in this Haokexuan restaurant are indeed delicious and worthy of the expensive price. Ye Qian ate some casually and wanted to go back. It turned out that there was a guy living next door who was at the ninth level of the Peeping Dao Realm, which made Ye Qian feel a little uneasy.
He stood up and was about to check out, but the waiter in the store quickly waved his hand and said no, which surprised Ye Qian. When he found that the waiter in the store was looking at his waist, he realized and asked: "Is this Haoke Xuan
, is it the Liu family’s property?”
"Yes, so...it doesn't cost anything for the elder to dine here." The waiter replied politely.
It seems that there are finally some benefits to worshiping the elders. At least you don't have to pay for meals...
Ye Qian didn't show any pretense, he pulled Xiao Lian and walked away. Xiao Lian found out that he didn't need to pay, and immediately couldn't help but want to go back and order some more dishes.
"Still eating? Can you still eat?" Ye Qian was speechless.
Because he was thinking about the old man next door, Ye Qian was not in the mood to continue shopping. He passed by a store selling braised vegetables and bought some braised vegetables. He also took out a bottle of good wine. When he returned to the yard, he asked Xiaolian to give Qin
The old man took it.
Ye Qian actually wanted to get in touch with this old man, but... he didn't know how to speak. Thinking about it carefully, he didn't seem to have any malicious intent, at most he was spying on him.
He doesn't have to go against the Liu family's peak strength now. He just needs an excuse to use the Liu family's power to compete with the Song family.
In fact, he has a trump card that can put the Song family into dire straits!
However, he will not use that trump card until the critical moment.
In this way, Ye Qian temporarily stayed in the Liu family, and he was not in a hurry to make any progress. The reason for dealing with the Song family was just because he agreed to meet the dead souls of the Xie family in the valley.
With his personality, he would naturally do it if he promised it. However, if this matter had an extremely negative impact on him, Ye Qian would not do it recklessly.
As a worshipper, he naturally doesn't need to do anything. The most important thing is that at present, the Liu family doesn't trust any important matters in his hands.
Therefore, he has a lot of leisure time. He doesn't need to do anything every day. The Liu family is not stingy about food and drink, and provides them very well.
Ye Qian would go out for a walk every day, one to find out more information, and the other to take the opportunity to say hello to old Qin and build a good relationship.
Old Qin lived a more carefree and comfortable life than Ye Qian every day. He didn't care about anything. He lay in the small courtyard next to Ye Qian all day long, chewed a few peanuts, drank a few sips of wine, and lived as happily as a god.
There is no one around him to serve him. It seems that this old man Qin is simply an anomaly in the Liu family. He does not have any position, but the Liu family is completely equivalent to his own home for him.
However, what makes Ye Qian feel quite satisfied is that after several contacts with old man Qin, he found that he is easy to talk to. He looks like a happy old man waiting to be buried, without any worries at all. Ye Qian
I don’t know if the other party is pretending to be like this on purpose, but in short, he doesn’t seem to have any ill intentions towards me.
It has been more than ten days since he arrived in Qingzhou City. Now, Ye Qian can be said to be very familiar with Qingzhou City. He knows where there is food and drink, where pills and magic weapons are bought and sold, and even...the brothel is here.
It's also very popular.
Ye Qian really wanted to go up there and experience it, but unfortunately he took Xiaolian with him every time he went out, so he didn't go.
Regarding the Liu family, Ye Qian inquired about it. In Qingzhou City, apart from the Liu family, there are two powerful forces that can compete with the Liu family, namely the Wang family and the Zhou family. The three families can be said to stand on a tripod, occupying
To Qingzhou City.
However, Ye Qian didn't care about these. He found that the grievances between the Liu family and the Song family that he overheard seemed to be the news he needed most.
On this day, he was going to go out for a stroll again, because yesterday Ye Qian found a good place, an auction house. But the rules of this auction house are a little different from those in other places. In other places, in order to raise the auction price
The price of the product is such that people can’t wait to keep increasing the price.
However, this auction house offers... a fixed price!
An auction item is first displayed and then introduced in detail. After that, it is time for everyone to bid. This price is the fixed price, and the higher bidder wins.
In fact, this is also a smart approach of the auction house. Instead of increasing the price bit by bit, it is better to let these customers play with themselves in their hearts. If you really want the auction item, but don’t know what others are offering,
No matter how much you paid, at this time, in order to get it, you naturally have to pay the highest price within what you can afford!
So it often happens that someone offers a sky-high price of millions or tens of millions in order to get such a fancy treasure, but in fact, other people only pay a hundred thousand or so at most.
Ye Qian thought the place was quite interesting, and planned to go there later to take a look. Just as he was about to go out, someone came outside the yard, saying that the eldest lady invited him.
Touching his chin, Ye Qian couldn't help but laugh. It's been ten days since he came back. This young lady finally remembered him?
He didn't refuse and followed. This time it was not the attic where he was last time, but a hall for entertaining guests. In the hall, there was not only Liu Qingrou, but also a middle-aged man with a goatee.
people.
"Master Ye, please sit down." Liu Qingrou smiled.
Ye Qian sat down carelessly and said with a smile: "Miss, long time no see!"
Liu Qingrou's face froze. She said it hadn't been long, but since she came back, she seemed to have never seen Ye Qian again. She was a little embarrassed and explained: "I'm really sorry. I've been away for a few months."
, after returning, there is a backlog of affairs that I need to deal with. In addition, the assassin’s matter is also being investigated, and I need to make some arrangements and instructions..."
Speaking of assassins, Ye Qian asked: "Oh? I don't know the identities of those assassins in black. How is the investigation going?"
Liu Qingrou shook her head slightly and said: "It's a bit shameful to say that I didn't make any meaningful discoveries. Those men in black came and went like the wind, and never left any clues to follow. Even after investigation, it was discovered that these
The men in black seem to be dead warriors!"
Ye Qian frowned slightly, dead soldiers? Training so many dead soldiers does not happen overnight, and it is impossible not to reveal any information, right? How come the Liu family is so powerful that they can't even investigate this?
However, he did not doubt that the Liu family did not try their best, because from Liu Qingrou's tone, she was personally responsible for this matter.
Suddenly, Ye Qian thought of something and asked quickly: "At the city gate, I once cut off an arm of the attacker. That person was at the peak of the eighth level of the Dao Realm, and he was definitely not an unknown person.
, use that arm as a clue to search, and you will definitely gain something!"
"This... Well, I thought so too, but I arranged for my brother to deal with this matter, but he did something bad in a hurry, and his arm was destroyed." Liu Qingrou said helplessly.
Ye Qian was stunned: "Destroyed? What do you mean?"
Liu Qingrou said: "My brother heard about an ancient secret method from somewhere. It is said that by applying some medicinal materials on the broken arm and then casting a spell, the remnant soul of the master can be summoned from the broken arm.
There is no need to ask anything, just look at the appearance of the deity. But who knew that the ancient secret method was useless at all. Instead, after the spell was cast, the medicinal materials burst into flames, burning the severed arm into coke."
"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Ye Qian exclaimed and touched his nose, but he had some doubts in his heart. Liu Yunjian was not a fool. For such an important piece of evidence, he just found an unreliable method.
, just burned it?
"Cough cough cough..." Suddenly, there was a dry cough next to him. The goatee touched his beard and said in a somewhat unhappy tone: "Miss, if you asked me to come, could it be that you want me to be here to listen to your conversation?"
