The second day after returning from the underground trade fair.
Qin Hai retreated in the Thirteen Bases as usual, but before he retreated yesterday, he specially said hello to Fang Ping, saying that if anyone wants to find him, remember to respectfully invite them in, and don't miss it.
Etiquette.
Although Fang Ping didn't know what Qin Hai's intention was, he naturally expressed his respect.
Sure enough, on the second day, someone really came to the door.
"Master, you are right, we really have a visitor." Fang Ping immediately came outside Qin Hai retreat to say hello.
Qin Hai had already expected it. Shi Shiran stood up and walked out of the secret room: "If I guess correctly, the person coming should be the third captain of Xuantian Border City, Nian Tianming?"
"Haha, Master is really clever, it is none other than Nian Tianming, the third commander of the battalion." Fang Ping replied with a smile.
Qin Hai and Fang Ping walked toward the hall outside. Qin Hai suddenly asked halfway: "Besides Nian Tianming, is there anyone else?"
Fang Ping said: "Indeed, apart from Nian Tianming, there is only one attendant in black robe behind him."
Because Fang Ping thought that the other party was just an attendant, he only reported Nian Tianming's arrival to Qin Hai, but Qin Hai asked in return: "Is that attendant dressed in black robes, and he keeps his head down, so he can't see his true face clearly?"
?”
Fang Ping nodded and said: "Ah, that seems to be true, but because the other party is just a small person, I didn't take a few glances... What's wrong, Master?"
Qin Hai immediately smiled, and the smile contained deep meaning: "Fang Ping, Fang Ping, you may not know that Nian Tianming is just a small person, and the attendant next to him is our real guest today."
"When we talk later, you go outside and protect the living room. No one can enter and disturb you."
Hearing Qin Hai's words, Fang Ping felt a chill in his heart and nodded quickly. Although he didn't know who the visitor was, he could tell from Qin Hai's tone that it was not a trivial matter.
…
Reception hall.
In the bright hall, two men were sitting.
One was Nian Tianming, the third commander who had had contact with Qin Hai yesterday, and next to Nian Tianming was a man wrapped in a black cloak. The wide black hat covered his head, and the brim of the hat could be seen.
I saw a few strands of white beard peeking out, and I could vaguely tell that he was an old man who was half a century old.
I don’t know if it’s because of the old man in black robes by his side. At this time, Nian Tianming no longer looked as arrogant and confident as before, but now his face was full of humility. He looked at the black man next to him.
The old man in the robe was about to speak but stopped, but when he saw that the other party was calmly closing his eyes and concentrating, he opened his mouth and closed it again.
"Boy, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long."
Not long after, Qin Hai and Fang Ping, masters and apprentices, strode out at the same time. As soon as Qin Hai came out, he cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Qin is currently in retreat, concentrating on cultivation. I didn't know that a guest came to the door, but he asked me
You two have been waiting for a long time."
After saying that, Qin Hai gave Fang Ping a wink beside him. Fang Ping nodded, walked out very sensibly, and at the same time completely closed the guest door.
Seeing Qin Hai's behavior, Nian Tianming and the old man beside him were very satisfied. Nian Tianming also said politely: "Fellow Qin Hai just came back from the underground exchange yesterday, and he started to retreat today. Your Excellency is really
The spirit of being serious and hard-working is simply a role model for our generation!”
It can be seen that Nian Tianming, the third captain, is also a man who knows how to adapt to the situation. After he almost had a fight with Qin Hai yesterday, he found that the opponent's strength seemed to be better than his own, and now he knew Qin Hai's true identity.
Naturally, he calmed down his temper, pretended to be a good friend he hadn't seen for a long time, and began to flatter him.
"Underground exchange? What do you mean by this? I have been in seclusion since I came back from the Tiannan Demon Realm. I haven't been out for a long time, and I have never entered the underground exchange. Have you admitted the wrong person?
?”
Qin Hai pretended not to understand anything and said calmly.
"Sigh... We are all sensible people. Why do you, Taoist Qin Hai, pretend to be stupid here?"
Nian Tianming smiled and said sternly: "What happened yesterday was my fault. I shouldn't do anything to my fellow Taoist!"
"It's just that Brother Qin Hai used the art of disguise at that time. I didn't know that the person opposite was you. If I knew that the person who took away the 'Dark Strange Demonic Stone' was Brother Qin Hai, I would have killed him."
I will never dare to be rough with you!"
"I, Nian Tianming, am willing to apologize to Brother Qin Hai again for what happened yesterday. Please ignore the faults of villains!"
Qin Hai glanced at Nian Tianming unexpectedly. He was not surprised that this guy recognized him. You must know that Nian Tianming was backed by a certain big shot in Xuantianbian City. With their power, they would find him sooner or later. Qin Hai
It was not surprising, he was just a little surprised that Tianming suddenly became so humble this year, and was even willing to treat himself as a villain and come here to apologize. This was completely different from the person he was yesterday.
"It seems... this should have been discussed between him and the master behind him. After finding me, he first apologized to me in a good manner to eliminate the tension between us, and then communicated with me properly in order to reach them.
The real goal!"
Qin Hai thought secretly in his heart and soon understood their thoughts.
However, since the other party is willing to sincerely apologize to him, Qin Hai is not a stingy person, and he also wants to talk to the real person behind the scenes, so since the other party has taken a step back, Qin Hai will take advantage of the opportunity to give the other party a step down.
.
"Well, it seems that you are indeed determined to repent. In this case, I won't hide it. Yes, it was me, Qin Hai, who took away the 'Dark Magic Stone' from the underground exchange yesterday."
Qin Hai smiled and quickly admitted his identity: "Although I know that I can't hide it from you and you will be able to find me sooner or later, I still didn't expect that you were so fast and found me in just one day.
."
When Qin Hai said this, he seemed to mean something. His eyes were not looking at Nian Tianming, but at the mysterious old man in black robe next to him.
Qin Hai knew that the old man in black robe was the real guest this time, and that Nian Tianming was just a fool to the outside world.
"Haha, finding you in one day is nothing to me. Little friend Qin Hai might as well see my true face first."
The mysterious old man in black robe finally spoke. As he spoke, he turned down the black robe cover on his head in front of Qin Hai, revealing his true face.
This is a kind-looking old man with gray hair and a long white beard, looking at Qin Hai with a half-smile. (To be continued)
