Therefore, these guards, who usually have extremely bad attitudes towards others, had to be respectful.
Yingyue didn't speak. Xi Zhong had told her before that she just had to keep walking and there was no need to speak, not even a word.
Xi Zhong smiled and said: "This should be the residence of Tianlei Sect, right?"
The guard nodded quickly, "Yes."
"Is the person in charge of your sect inside?"
"Yes, yes."
"Then lead the way for us. We are really here to discuss important matters with the person in charge of your sect." Xi Zhong said with a smile.
The guard quickly untied the defensive barrier outside the mansion, and then walked in with Xi Zhong and Yingyue.
When Xi Zhong and Ying Yue had just entered the mansion, a rickety figure appeared in front of them like the wind.
The smiling middle-aged man saluted Yingyue, "I thought it was some distinguished guest, but it turns out it's Elder Yingyue from the Beast Control Sect who is here."
Then the middle-aged man glanced at Xi Zhong, slightly surprised, and then calmed down.
He also instantly understood why this young man in green shirt dared to challenge the Xuanhuang Sect that day.
It turns out that he has the support of the Beast Control Sect behind him.
Yingyue said calmly: "The person who comes to talk to you this time is not me, but the disciple next to me."
The middle-aged man didn't mind. He still looked at Xi Zhong with a smile and asked, "I wonder what this little brother wants to discuss with me in detail?"
Xi Zhong just glanced around.
The middle-aged man understood instantly, and then said with a smile: "It seems that it is still an important matter, so I'll invite you here!"
Xi Zhong and Ying Yue followed the man to a secret room.
The middle-aged man poured the tea himself and said with a smile, "Please sit down, both of you."
Xi Zhong glanced at Yingyue and found that Yingyue sat down to drink tea calmly and was not worried about what the middle-aged man had put in the tea.
But what I have to say is that this middle-aged man has a very low-key attitude.
It seems that this middle-aged man has a high status in Tianlei Sect, otherwise Tianlei Sect would not let him take care of such a large mansion.
At the same time, it can also be seen that this middle-aged man must be an unscrupulous person.
It's very simple. How can a person who is in a high position but can bend down at any time be a simple person?
This kind of person is particularly troublesome when he is aggressive and is targeted.
After Xi Zhong sat down, he did not drink tea.
He just put his hands on the table, then looked at the middle-aged man who was also seated, and said with a smile: "I took the liberty of visiting today. Actually, I just want to discuss a business deal with your sect."
The middle-aged man's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard Xi Zhong's words.
He heard it very clearly.
What this young man in green shirt said was "negotiating a business deal with Guizong", not "negotiating a business deal with him".
Coupled with the fact that the responsible elder of the Beast Control Sect was sitting next to him, the middle-aged man instantly became vigilant, and his eyes gradually became serious.
However, his expression did not show any seriousness at all, he just smiled and said: "Oh? What business? Please tell me in detail, little brother."
Xi Zhong nodded, then passed through the storage ring, a black light shone, and there was a black jade pendant on the table.
After the middle-aged man saw the black jade pendant, his pupils shrank.
"This..." His expression changed a little, and his eyes looking at Xi Zhong were somewhat unpredictable.
Wasn't this jade pendant taken away by the enemy Xuanhuang Sect? Why did it appear on his desk now?
Seeing the hesitant look on the middle-aged man's face, Xi Zhong smiled directly and said: "You don't need to guess anymore. That's right. After the Xuanhuang Sect left the auction house, they directly sent people to follow me.
He wanted to kill me directly, but in the end I had to kill the old man in gray and the young man in black robe, so this jade pendant with certificate fell into my hands."
After Xi Zhong finished speaking, the middle-aged man's expression became even more solemn.
Because the meaning expressed by Xi Zhong is very obvious.
The first meaning is to explain to this middle-aged man the origin of this jade pendant.
The second meaning is to warn this middle-aged man that the Xuanhuang Sect, which is on par with your Tianlei Sect, will kill you if you ask for it in front of our Beast Control Sect, so you, the Tianlei Sect, had better have a relaxed attitude.
You have to be more sincere, otherwise, the next person to die may be someone from your Tianlei Sect.
The reason why Xi Zhong dared to guarantee that his sect would definitely be willing to help him deal with the Xuanhuang Sect was because he was about to donate one million jade spirit stones to the sect.
The Beast Control Sect will definitely be happy to help Xi Zhong deal with the Xuanhuang Sect.
After all, Xi Zhong was his disciple, and he also contributed an extremely impressive sum of jade spirit stones.
Therefore, Xi Zhong is very confident about this business.
Neither the Bishui Sect nor the Thunder Sect would refuse this business.
"So, do you think you should do this business or not?" Xi Zhong asked with a smile.
His expression was very leisurely, and he didn't seem to be worried at all that this middle-aged man would refuse.
The middle-aged man's expression finally began to change obviously, and he was obviously struggling.
And he didn't deliberately hide the changes in his expression, because there was no need.
After Yingyue took a sip of tea, she continued to eat her favorite lollipop.
Although Yingyue seemed to have no role in the whole process and did not say a word, it was precisely because Yingyue was sitting here that the middle-aged man was waiting for her.
If Xi Zhong came here alone, it would be hard to say whether Xi Zhong could enter the mansion, let alone invite him into the secret room to pour tea himself.
"Then for this jade pendant...how much does your Beast Control Sect pay for it?" After hesitating for a while, the middle-aged man finally spoke slowly.
Xi Zhong smiled and said: "Two and a half million jade spiritual stones."
The middle-aged man heard this, hesitated slightly, and then shook his head, "The price is too high."
But Yingyue next to her looked at Xi Zhong in slight surprise.
Didn't we agree on two million jade spirit stones? Why did it suddenly increase to two and a half million?
Xi Zhong, on the other hand, turned a blind eye to Ying Yue's surprised look. After all, she didn't know anything about business.
I can ask for a high price, but you can also just sit back and pay me back.
It’s not like you have to hit the nail on the head price.
Xi Zhong smiled and asked: "What price do you think is appropriate?"
The middle-aged man looked at Yingyue.
Xi Zhong understood and said with a smile: "Don't worry, sir. Although our Beast Control Sect is a large sect, we will not use our power to pressure others, let alone buy or sell by force. If you are not willing to buy, then
As long as we don’t sell it, at worst, we’ll just find another sect.”
Hearing Xi Zhong's previous words, the middle-aged man was slightly relieved. It's not just about buying and selling by force.
But after hearing Xi Zhong's last words, the middle-aged man's heart lifted again.
Although the price of this jade pendant is indeed high, it is what the Tianlei Sect has always wanted.
Of course, not only his Tianlei Sect, but also the other Bishui Sect also desperately want it.
No matter it is Tianlei Sect or Bishui Sect, they will not hope that the other party can get this jade pendant.
"How about 1.8 million jade spirit stones?" the middle-aged man said.
Xi Zhong just shook his head, "This is not possible, the price is too low. If I had not participated in that auction by chance, maybe it would have been sold for 1.8 million, but I was at the auction at that time.
I have seen your bidding, and the price you bid at that time was not so low."
The middle-aged man hesitated and began to think deeply.
Xi Zhong just waited with a smile.
And Yingyue had already started to roll her eyes.
Wouldn't it be enough to just buy it at a fixed price? Is there any need to go around and around like this?
Finally, the middle-aged man stood up and said in a deep voice: "But could you please wait here for a while? I will ask the sect master for instructions before I can make up my mind."
Xi Zhong smiled and said: "Of course it is possible. After all, the number of jade spirit stones is quite large, so you should be more cautious."
The middle-aged man simply nodded and exited the secret room.
In the secret room, only Xi Zhong and Ying Yue were left.
At this time, Xi Zhong slowly raised his tea cup and drank tea.
Na Yingyue asked curiously: "You touched the tea cup before but put it down again, but now you started drinking again. Why is that? Is there any hint?"
Xi Zhong said leisurely: "It's hot."
Yingyue: "..."
I thought there was some secret in this!
The middle-aged man came back not long after. When he came back, he already had an idea on his face and said with a smile: "My Tianlei Sect is willing to trade 2.1 million jade spirit stones with your sect in exchange for this."
A jade pendant, what do you think, Master?"
This middle-aged man has changed his name from "little brother" to "gongzi".
That Yingyue's eyes were already bright.
This price already exceeded the price she had previously agreed with Xi Zhong.
But Xi Zhong still shook his head slightly at this time, "It's still too low."
Yingyue immediately fell into a daze.
And the expression of the middle-aged man who originally thought he had won was stagnant.
Is this still low!?
Xi Zhong smiled and said: "I happened to pass by the Bishui Sect's mansion earlier and had a chat with the old man. It turned out that the old man was willing to pay 2.4 million jade spirit stones to buy this jade pendant. At that time, I
Originally, I wanted to sell it directly to the old gentleman, but then I thought about it. It was not only the Bishui Sect who wanted this jade pendant, but also the Tianlei Sect. So I followed the moral principle of helping others and brought it with me.
Jade Pendant came to your ancestral residence for such a trip..."
Then Xi Zhong shook his head, with a look of disappointment on his face, "I didn't expect this trip to be unsatisfactory... Anyway, then I decided to sell this jade pendant to the Bishui Sect?"
He was talking, but his eyes were looking at the middle-aged man.
Xi Zhong's face was full of hypocrisy, making both Yingyue and the middle-aged man's mouths twitch.
