"Brother Yin Huan, why didn't you notify me in advance when you came to my store so that I could prepare it?"
As the head of a merchant, Shang Yan is probably seventy or eighty years old, but now when facing a young man of about twenty years old, he actually treated him like a brother. One can imagine how noble this person is.
The young man named Yin Huan is wearing a dark green robe. He is neither fat nor thin. Judging from his appearance alone, he is quite handsome. However, his lips are slightly blue and his eyelids are faintly...
There is a layer of black hidden light, which looks quite weird.
The reason why Shang Yan, the owner of the merchant family, was so polite to Yin Huan was because he knew that the young man in front of him came from the Yuhu Sect and was an inner disciple of the Yuhu Sect's poison lineage, so he could not be easily offended.
The Jade Pot Sect is one of the most powerful sects in the Xuanyue Empire, and there are many pulse refiners in it. This noble profession makes the empire's cultivators dare not easily provoke members of the Jade Pot Sect.
The Pulse Refiner has a noble status, but with the development of the Kowloon Continent over the years, this profession has two schools. One is the Pulse Master who mainly treats people and saves people, and the other is mainly used to make poison and kill people.
The Master's Poison Master.
Relatively speaking, medical pulse masters are more respected by people, but some poison pulse masters with powerful methods will make people talk easily and dare not provoke them. For example, the Yin Huan in front of him is an intermediate mortal level.
The Poison Master.
Therefore, although Yin Huan's pulse energy strength and Shang Yan's were both at the Chongmai level, Shang Yan really did not dare to offend this genius of the Jade Pot Sect's Poison Vein line, but instead tried his best to curry favor with him.
Shang Yan, who had lost face, said these words, but Yin Huan's pride was greatly satisfied. He heard him smile and said: "Master Shang Yan, I came to the merchant this time, but for you.
, or in other words, I have brought you great good news for your business!"
"Oh? Brother Yin Huan, please speak clearly!" Hearing this, Shang Yan's eyes couldn't help but light up, and all the strong businessmen who heard this also turned their heads, wanting to know this "big good news"
",what exactly is it?
Yin Huan smiled slightly, enjoying the feeling of being valued. After a moment, he said: "Because of your merchant's filial piety to our Yuhu Sect over the years, the elders have decided that among the number of outer disciples recruited this year,
Give your merchant an extra one!"
"Yin...Brother Yin Huan, are you serious about this?"
Suddenly hearing what Yin Huan said, despite Shang Yan's profoundness, he couldn't help but be ecstatic, as if he was dreaming, he stood up and asked in a trembling voice.
Following Shang Yan's trembling voice, a middle-aged man in the first position at the bottom looked even more excited. He turned around and asked, "Second brother, I asked Hui Feng to find his elder brother. Why haven't you come back yet?"
This person is Shang Huiyu's direct grandfather, Shang Ying, and the eldest son of the merchant. He will succeed him as the powerful person in charge of the merchant family in the future, but even he is a little out of sorts at this time.
In Shang Ying's view, among the entire business, only his amazingly talented grandson is qualified to obtain the quota of an outer disciple of the Jade Pot Sect. If this quota is not given to his grandson, it would be unjustifiable.
But what Shang Ying didn't notice was that after he said these words, an unknown light flashed across his second brother's eyes. How could this person not understand the meaning of Shang Ying's words?
"Hmph, why does the Yuhu Sect's quota belong to Shang Huiyu?"
The person in charge of the second branch of the business had a hint of dissatisfaction in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it. He just spread his hands to indicate that he didn't know.
In fact, Shang Ying had forgotten that the person Shang Yan asked Shang Huifeng to find was not his precious grandson Shang Huiyu, but Sun Yun, the third-bedroom son who lived in a remote courtyard and did not interact with him very much on weekdays.
laugh.
As if sensing the excitement of these merchants, Yin Huan smiled slightly again and said: "Master Shang Yan, even the quota for the outer disciples of the Yuhu Sect is not sloppy at all. He must be the most talented among the younger generation of your merchants.
Only a certain person can get this quota!"
The implication of Yin Huan's words is that this quota does not belong to whomever you say. You have to speak based on your true ability. If the Yuhu Sect is given a fool, won't it mean that his face will also be cut off?
"That's it, that's it!"
Shang Yan had come to his senses at this time and kept saying yes. From the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a figure flashing at the hall door. He immediately became happy and said: "Come on, come on, brother Yin Huan, I will introduce you to him."
Take a look, that is the most promising young man in our business, his name is Shang Huiyu!"
It turned out that the person who walked quickly from the hall door was Sun Shang Huiyu, the head of Shang's family. He had guessed that the Yuhu Sect's arrival might be related to the recruitment of outer disciples, so even Yunxiao didn't bother to rush over.
As soon as he walked into the hall, he heard the head of the family mentioning him, and his pace quickened even more.
"Oh? Shang Huiyu?"
After hearing Shang Yan's introduction, Yin Huan turned his eyes, and after looking at it, he nodded slightly and said: "The cultivation level in the middle stage of the pulse channeling realm is pretty good!"
It is true that although Yin Huan is not much older than Shang Huiyu, he is a genuine Chongmai realm powerhouse. He can be on par with Shang Yan. A cultivation level like Shang Huiyu's can only be slightly better than his.
It's just the discernment.
"Huiyu, come here quickly, I've met your senior brother Yin Huan!" Shang Yan is indeed thick-skinned. Before Shang Huiyu joined the Yuhu Sect, he had already addressed him as "senior brother"
, is this going to be a fait accompli?
Shang Ying, who bowed his head after hearing this, was naturally smiling, but the eldest son of the second wife turned a little gloomy. Originally, he wanted his grandson Shang Huifeng to fight for it, but now even Shang Yan has recognized Shang Huiyu.
, he had no choice but to swallow this breath.
However, just when Shang Huiyu looked flattered and wanted to step forward and bow, Yin Huan waved his hand and said: "I don't care how your business chooses this quota, but it must be the one with the best talent. Head of the Shang Yan family
, I actually have one more thing to do when I come here this time!"
After saying that, Yin Huan turned his eyes, frowned slightly, and said, "Why hasn't the Yun Xiao I asked you to find come yet?"
After saying these words, Shang Yan couldn't help but look a little embarrassed. At this time, he couldn't say that because he didn't want to see Shang Li and his son, he arranged them in an extremely remote courtyard, right?
Therefore, Shang Yan could only feel anxious in his heart, but he procrastinated and asked: "I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting for so long. I wonder why brother Yin Huan is looking for Yun Xiao?"
To be honest, Shang Yan is really not sure what Yin Huan is thinking. It stands to reason that Yun Xiao has been staying in the merchant for more than ten years and rarely even steps out of the merchant's door. He should have nothing to do with the Yuhu Sect.
It's related.
Yin Huan did not give in and said: "Master Shang Yan, there is no need to make insinuations. The fact that I came to see Yun Xiao this time has nothing to do with my Yuhu Sect!"
Hearing this, Shang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and then heard Yin Huan ask: "Has the Shang Yan family heard about the Lingyun Sect of the Lingtian Empire?"
"Lingtian Empire? Lingyun Sect?"
Suddenly hearing Yin Huan mention these two names, Shang Yan was startled for a moment, then his face changed. He suddenly remembered something and said in a voiceless voice: "Is it because of..."
"Yes, the other thing I came to the merchant for this time is that I was entrusted by someone to do it for the fingertip marriage between your merchant and the Lingyun Sect!" There was a strange look in Yin Huan's eyes.
The light looked a little weird.
As soon as Yin Huan said this, many powerful businessmen, including Shang Yan, no longer had any doubts. In fact, they had some understanding of this matter, but they were not too clear until today when Yin Huan moved it to the public.
superior.
Back then, Shang Li's father was an extremely talented man. His cultivation talent was even much better than that of his two brothers, Shang Ying, and he was also very popular with Shang Yan.
At that time, Shang Li's father liked to travel around the mainland. One time when he went to the Lingtian Empire, he met the previous leader of the Lingyun Sect. The two did not know each other before, and eventually formed a life-and-death friendship.
Shang Li had grown up at that time, and the head of the Lingyun Sect happened to have a son. The purpose of marrying Shang Li's father was to make the two families one family and get closer.
It's a pity that the son of the leader of the Lingyun Sect already has his heart, so the matter was settled in the end. Shang Li's father could only do the next best thing and made an agreement with the leader of the Lingyun Sect.
His grandson got married and made an oath accordingly.
There was even a prophecy later that said, "Be fierce and conquer the evil forces, sheath your sword and laugh with red makeup." This is where the prophecy came from. The names of Yun Xiao and the lady from Lingyun Sect were also named "Laugh" and "Hong Zhuang" respectively.
For the name.
It's a pity that Shang Li's father died young, and no one mentioned this good story again. The Lingyun Sect never sent anyone to the merchant, so the people in the merchant gradually forgot that there was such a marriage.
The overall strength of the Lingtian Empire is not inferior to that of the Xuanyue Empire. The Lingyun Sect's status in the Lingtian Empire is somewhat similar to the Yuhu Sect's status in the Xuanyue Empire. They are both behemoths.
Thinking of a certain possibility, Shang Yan's old face changed color. Could it be that the Lingyun Sect suddenly remembered this marriage and wanted to use the Yuhu Sect to build a bridge and come to the merchant to propose marriage?
Shang Yan knew in his heart how the merchants had treated Shang Li's three orphans and widowed mother after his father's death. If Yun Xiao really got married to the Lingyun Sect, it would be a real turnaround for the merchants.
Whether it's good or bad, I really can't tell.
Yin Huan's mind was gloomy, and he could see the entanglement deep in Shang Yan's heart with just one glance. He smiled slightly and said: "Master Shang Yan, I have been entrusted by others, but I am not here to propose marriage, but...
The one who broke off the engagement!"
As soon as Yin Huan said this, everyone in the merchants who were originally nervous breathed a sigh of relief. According to this, this is the script. Why should a bastard who doesn't even know who his father is?
