"Thank you Mr. Xiao for your hospitality, and thank you for your great gift. If the Alchemist Guild has any elixirs to be auctioned in the future, your Yunteng Auction House will be given priority!"
After receiving the big gift from Xiao Qi, the smile on Lu Jinghuan's face became even brighter.
While at Ghost Flame Mountain, his space bracelet was snatched away by the mysterious strong man wearing a skull mask.
And all his things are in that space bracelet.
What medicinal materials, elixirs, gold coins...etc.!
So after the space bracelet was robbed, he really had nothing left except the set of clothes he was wearing.
He shamelessly asked Liuguang Pavilion for the travel expenses back to the Southern Territory.
But just now, in order to ask to see him, Xiao Qi not only gave him a space bracelet, but also gave him five million gold coins!
For him who was extremely poor, this was a timely help, and it came at the right time.
"Then let me thank Vice President Lu first!"
After receiving Lu Jinghuan's assurance, Xiao Qi immediately smiled proudly.
This evil money...
It’s just easy to use!
Except for some weirdos who pretend to be noble, he has never seen anyone who truly regards money as dirt.
Even Lu Jinghuan, who had an extremely high status in front of him, was conquered by a mere five million gold coins.
Those who are extremely poor actually always say self-deceptive words such as "money is an external possession" and "treat money as dirt".
It's so ridiculous and pathetic!
And those who think he is vulgar must have sour grapes.
"By the way, Vice President Lu..."
As if he remembered something, Xiao Qi said cautiously: "According to the information received by this junior, I heard that there seemed to be some accidents during your trip to Ghost Flame Mountain?"
Lu Jinghuan's old face turned red!
During this trip to Ghost Flame Mountain, he, the vice president of the Alchemist Guild, was completely humiliated.
Not only did all his previous efforts end up being a wedding dress for others, but he was also humiliated in various ways by the mysterious strong man wearing a mask, and all his treasures were also robbed.
This matter has become the most unspeakable pain for him!
However……
Xiao Qi actually asked him face to face?
Isn't this intentional to embarrass him?
"Master Xiao, are you really that interested in this matter?"
This sentence almost burst out from between his teeth!
If he hadn't thought about the gift that the other party just gave him, he would have wanted to commit suicide.
"Vice President Lu, don't get me wrong..."
Xiao Qi wasn't stupid either. Seeing that Lu Jinghuan's expression was wrong, he hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean to offend you, I just asked casually out of concern. If you don't want to answer, then I just don't mention it!"
Lu Jinghuan's face looked better now.
Waving his hand, he pretended to be generous and said: "It doesn't matter, this matter has been spread for a long time, it can't be considered a secret!"
"What's more, the mysterious strong man wearing the mask is indeed unfathomable in strength. Not to mention Wan Kongming, the leader of Liuguang Pavilion, even Jin Lin, the envoy of the Southern Territory Alliance, is completely vulnerable to him!"
"As an alchemist, I focus solely on refining medicine. It's not a shame to lose to that thug in terms of cultivation!"
"What Vice President Lu said is true!" Xiao Qi hurriedly agreed.
In order to please Lu Jinghuan as much as possible, he rolled his eyes and vowed: "Don't worry, Vice President Lu, this Qiying City is the territory of our Yunteng Auction House. As long as you are here, we can ensure your safety."
!”
"Yeah?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sneer suddenly came from the window.
The voice was hoarse and harsh, like the evil ghost's grin, which was creepy.
"Um?"
Xiao Qi was startled, then became furious and roared: "Whoever is sneaking around outside, get out!"
He roared so vigorously that he was even ready to get up and go to the window to have a clear look.
But Lu Jinghuan's expression on the other side changed instantly.
"This voice..."
He stared at the window, his eyes filled with intense uneasiness.
Because this hoarse voice is so familiar to him!
It can be said that since leaving Ghost Flame Mountain, this voice has become his nightmare for a time.
"Don't worry, Vice President Lu, as long as I'm here, no one dares to act wild here!"
Seeing Lu Jinghuan's nervous look, Xiao Qi hurriedly gave him a "reassured" look and patted his chest in assurance.
But Lu Jinghuan, who was staring out the window, not only did not relax, his pupils shrank violently, and he let out a horrified cry, "Ah? Is it really you?"
"Vice President Lu, I told you that I'm here, so there's no need to be nervous..."
Xiao Qi felt that Lu Jinghuan was too suspicious.
This Qiying City could be said to be the territory of their Yunteng Auction House. He didn't believe that anyone would dare to do anything to him.
However, seeing Lu Jinghuan's reaction being so exaggerated, he still subconsciously looked out the window.
At this sight, he was also startled.
"What the hell?"
I could see a figure appearing in the direction of the window.
Wearing black clothes and a skull mask on his face, he looked ferocious and terrifying.
"It's completely contrary. How dare you pretend to be a ghost and scare me?"
After a brief moment of astonishment, Xiao Qi said inwardly, "Do you know who this young master is? This young master is... ah?"
The threatening words were only halfway spoken when they turned into an exclamation.
Because the man wearing the skull mask had already flashed towards him.
It was so fast, like a ghost, that it quickly dilated in his pupils before he could react.
"Snapped!"
It was the sound of a slap on the face, clear and loud, resounding throughout the room.
"puff!"
Xiao Qi didn't even have time to scream, and he flew out sideways with blood spurting from his mouth.
The force of the slap was so great that while blood spurted out, several teeth also flew into the air.
"boom!"
After flying a few meters away, he fell heavily against the wall, and there was another "click-click" sound of bones breaking inside his body.
"What happened?"
"Third Young Master, Vice President Lu, are you okay?"
Because the movement was quite loud, the guards guarding the outside immediately shouted inside.
Xiao Qi didn’t answer!
To be precise, he no longer had the energy to answer.
The slap just now seriously injured him. Now he can't even breathe, let alone make a sound.
"It's you, it's really you..."
On the other side, Lu Jinghuan was so frightened that his face turned pale.
He even forgot to escape, he just stood there shivering, not noticing when his crotch got wet.
When he first heard the hoarse voice, he was just suspicious.
Seeing it with his own eyes at this moment, he was so frightened that he didn't even have the courage to escape.
You must know that Wan Kongming, the master of Liuguang Pavilion, and Jin Lin, the envoy of the Southern Territory Alliance, have no power to resist in front of this mysterious and powerful man.
As a pharmacist who focuses on refining medicine, even escaping is a luxury, let alone resistance.
