In the center of a spacious courtyard in the northwest corner of Hai Mansion, there is a well-made mahogany table. There are two wooden chairs on both sides of the table. Compared with the material of the table, the wooden chairs look a bit shabby, but they are by no means
Things that ordinary people can afford.
Su Xing was sitting on one of the wooden chairs at this time. There was a white porcelain tea cup on the table near him. The cup was filled with warm tea, but he was not in the mood to drink tea now.
The young man could be seen crossing his chest with his hands, one leg shaking up and down, and the sound of his cloth boots colliding with the stone floor echoed in every corner of the courtyard. This sound was filled with Su Xing's anxiety and impatience.
After a while, even the maid who stood aside and respected Su Xing very much felt that the voice was a bit harsh. She frowned and looked towards the room behind, but what she saw was still a tight door.
Closed door.
In order to make Su Xing stop shaking his legs, the maid couldn't help but step forward and asked: "Mr. Su, I'm afraid it will take some time for the young lady to prepare. Why don't you take a sip of tea first to quench your thirst?"
"Ahem." After being asked this question, Su Xing suddenly felt a little thirsty, so he picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and his shaking legs calmed down.
The maid breathed a sigh of relief and looked back into the room again, begging her lady to come out quickly.
Su Xing's thoughts at this time coincided with the maid. An hour ago, he knocked on the door of Hai Mansion. It happened that the manager on duty today was the one who greeted him last time. He immediately recognized Su Xing.
came out.
So Su Xing didn't waste much time, and was led all the way to Haining's courtyard by the maid. However, the maid serving Haining said that the young lady was taking a bath in the house, and she might have to wait for a while.
At that time, Su Xing didn't know the concept of "a little while" that women said, but as time passed quickly, after an hour passed, Su Xing probably understood what "a little while" meant.
What time is it.
Looking up at the sky, the sun is approaching dusk, and the figures of migratory birds are flying across the sky, slowly flying towards their nests. From time to time, the sound of people walking around can be heard outside the courtyard, and before you know it, the time has come when people are having dinner.
Su Xing had already canceled his original plan for today. According to his hypothesis, after meeting Haining, the two of them should reminisce about the past and burn incense, and then they could ask for information about the black market. In the best case scenario, they would be able to find out today.
black market.
But now it seems that this plan may have come to nothing.
Just as the maid next to him was dozing off, and Su Xing was curiously wondering whether Haining could finish taking a bath before the end-of-year hospital exam, the door behind him "squeaked" and was pushed open.
Su Xing and the maid coincided with each other again, and looked back together. They saw the eldest daughter of the Hai family, wearing a noble brocade dress, a luxurious hairpin, and gold and silver cloth boots.
Come with them.
"I've kept you waiting for a long time."
After Haining said something calmly and calmly, his figure flashed past the empty wooden chair and finally sat opposite Su Xing.
Looking at the girl across from her, her fair face could be broken. Under the moonlight, there were white haloes on both sides of her cheeks, and the pair of eyes under the willow eyebrows exuded countless eye-catching brilliance.
Although she is the daughter of the Hai family, Haining did not put on any makeup. What appeared in front of Su Xing was her natural appearance.
A wisp of fragrance entered Su Xing's nose at some point, making his brain suddenly sober and intoxicated. He felt that he smelled the sweetest smell in his life.
Just being surrounded by this fragrance, Su Xing felt that the hour's wait was worth it.
However, there was still a trace of immature curiosity in the young man's mind. He looked at Haining up and down, taking in the whole view of the other person's skin and arms with exposed cuffs, and then felt strange.
Hai Ning had been bathing for a full hour, and the skin on his body didn't even have a single wrinkle. This was different from what he usually saw when taking a bath.
"What are you looking at?" Haining smiled with satisfaction, his tone was very arrogant.
"Ahem, it's nothing," Su Xing waved his hand, "I just refreshed your view on bathing."
"Haha, why are you here looking for me today?"
Haining crossed his legs, rested his arms on the wooden table, gently held his cheek with his bare hands, and turned his head to look at Su Xing beside him.
Under the moonlight, the young man's delicate face looked no different from a few months ago. If he had to find out any changes, I'm afraid Haining could only say "he has grown taller".
When Su Xing saw that the other party took the initiative to speak, he stopped being polite and told Hai Ning all the reasons why he came down the mountain to Maple City.
After Haining listened carefully to what Su Xing said, he stretched out his hand to open the lid of the teacup, put the teacup to his mouth and took a sip, then handed the teacup to the maid beside him.
The maid understood, took the tea cup and left the yard.
After the last person in the yard except Su Xing and Haining left, Haining said: "I am familiar with the black market, but it's just not easy to find an introducer.
Because the black market does not exist legally in the major dynasties, they have high requirements for participating members. In addition to the guarantee of the introducer, the qualifications of the introducer are also very important.
Generally, only members with more than two years of black market experience can act as introducers. However, there are only ten such people in Maple City. And if ordinary people want to get in touch with these introducers, they have to spend more than just money.
You have time to look for it, and you have to spend a lot of money to buy the qualifications."
"Is that true?" Su Xing sighed in his heart, but he did not dare to show his depressed expression on his face.
He had guessed from the beginning that the introducer would not be easy to find, but he did not expect that he would have to spend money to buy qualifications. He couldn't help but reach out and touch the storage bag on his waist, wondering how much it would cost.
Buy qualifications.
"However," Hai Ning suddenly changed the subject, slender fingers pushed a few black hairs covering her eyes behind her ears, and looked at Su Xing with a pair of dark, shining eyes, saying, "I still have the ability to help you with such a person.
It’s an introduction, and it’s not expensive.”
"oh?"
After Su Xing, who had originally given up hope, heard Hai Ning's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"That's great. I'm sorry to bother Miss Hai."
"But I have a request."
"Request," Su Xing was slightly startled, and then said hurriedly: "If we find an introducer, Su Xing is willing to do his best and do it himself."
Haining raised her lips and slowly stretched out her white hands in front of Su Xing's face. Then she raised a finger and said at the same time: "Teach me another spiritual formation."
Su Xing was stunned again, as if he didn't expect the other party to make such a request. When he reacted, he patted his chest hard.
"Wrap it around me."
Then, as Haining clapped her hands, a crisp sound spread through the courtyard. After a while, the door to the courtyard was pushed open, and seven or eight maids, holding trays in hand, lined up and walked neatly into the courtyard.
They came to the two of them one by one, put the dishes on the trays on the wooden table, turned around and left quickly, not daring to stay for a moment longer.
After just a few breaths, the two people's wooden table was filled with mouth-watering delicacies. The recipes carefully prepared by Haifu chefs for many years looked glowing under the moonlight.
At this time, Su Xing, who had not even eaten lunch, made an inappropriate "gurgling" sound from his deflated stomach.
Hearing this voice, the generous and dignified Haining couldn't hold it back for a moment. Looking at Su Xing opposite who was scratching his head out of embarrassment, he covered his mouth and laughed.
After dinner, and after the maid put away the bowls and chopsticks, Su Xing followed Haining to the familiar private spiritual chamber, preparing to teach him a spiritual formation that was not recorded in the primary formation collection.
In other words, what Su Xing is going to hand over to Haining this time is a spiritual formation that has not been recorded even in the collection of intermediate and high-level formations.
This is because this spiritual formation is a brand new spiritual formation that Su Xing accidentally comprehended when he was practicing the Demon Subduing Sutra.
