After Xiao Wen, Jin Shaoqing, and Bai Sheng finished breakfast, they went to find Zong Yun together. Although Zong Yun usually has an ice face and refuses to treat anyone, there is no doubt about his strength.

.

Therefore, even though Jin Shaoqing and Bai Sheng were usually unhappy with Zong Yun's temper, when they thought of finding powerful helpers, the first thing they thought of was Zong Yun.

"Okay, but I have a request!" After listening to what Xiao Wen and the others said, Zong Yun agreed without any hesitation.

"What request, tell me! Anyway, Xiao Wen is a big dog now, you can kill him as you please, I have no objection." Jin Shaoqing had no objection at all to the request Zong Yun was about to make, so he readily showed his generosity to others.

"I need some magic dates, and..."

"No problem! Xiao Wen, get something! At least two handfuls! You can't finish it anyway, so I won't feel bad if I give you more."

Jin Shaoqing had already agreed for Xiao Wen before Zong Yun finished speaking. However, while he readily agreed, he also added some small calculations.

For example, what Jin Shaoqing just said about "two large holdings of magic jujubes" is actually completely fake and really stingy. Because Jin Shaoqing has really seen Xiao Wen's whole mountain-like collection of magic jujubes.

So let alone two big baskets of magic dates, Xiao Wen would feel bad if he didn't even take them.

Not to mention, the Demonic Jujube Forest before Xiao Wen had already produced new output. Although not as much as when Xiao Wen first picked it, there were still about thirty baskets. According to the elders at that time

As a result of the promise he made, Xiao Wen recently received two large baskets of dividends.

In fact, it was precisely because of this that Zong Yun made a request for some magic dates. He had already heard that Xiao Wen had received dividends from two large baskets of magic dates, and he also knew that the output of magic dates was three

There were about ten baskets. But Zong Yun thought that Xiao Wen only got thirty baskets last time.

Thinking about it this way, Zong Yun felt that Xiao Wen was forthright and treated people with sincerity, and he didn't have any bad thoughts. But just because he treated people with sincerity, he had no authority and could easily be plotted by others.

In fact, this is not only what Zong Yun thinks, but other great elders headed by Elder Tianjin also think so. Because after seeing the new output of Demonic Jujube, they thought Xiao Wen only had these thirty baskets last time

.

However, what Xiao Wen gave away at that time seemed to be more than 20 baskets. If you calculate it this way, in everyone's impression, Xiao Wen has already lost all his money, and there are really only a few baskets left.

for myself.

Precisely because of this, the great elders who had previously thought about knocking out the autumn wind from Xiao Wen all restrained themselves and no longer thought about knocking out some magic jujubes from Xiao Wen. Therefore, Xiao Wen's small mountain

Basically, Xiao Wen and Xiao Ben only ate the same magic dates, and they didn't eat much.

If it weren't for the fact that he happened to hear that Xiao Wen had recently acquired two baskets of magic dates, Zong Yun would have been embarrassed to ask Xiao Wen for some magic dates.

Naturally, Xiao Wen didn't feel much about Zong Yun's request. After all, there were so many magic jujubes piled up in his warehouse, and a few handfuls of magic jujubes really didn't mean anything to him.

Because of this, Xiao Wen immediately took out three large handfuls of magic dates and gave them to Zong Yun. Just like what Jin Shaoqing said just now, he couldn't finish them anyway, so of course he wouldn't feel bad about giving them away.

But the more Xiao Wen looked like he didn't feel any distress, the more Zong Yun felt Xiao Wen's sincerity. So much so that the second half of what he originally said was a little embarrassed to say out now.

It's just that Zong Yun couldn't say it, but it doesn't mean Xiao Wen didn't pay attention just now. He clearly heard the second half of Zong Yun's unfinished sentence, so he continued to ask after taking the magic jujube.

"By the way, didn't you just say you needed anything else?"

"There are some other things needed, but they are not necessary. It doesn't really matter whether they are there or not." Zong Yun still couldn't say anything after all. This was the first time he had done something similar to [extortion].

"Don't talk about whether it's important or not, first talk about what you need! Even if it can only increase your strength by one point, that's a very important thing."

Xiao Wen knew that the things Zong Yun wanted must be used to improve his own strength, so he didn't care about Zong Yun's big talk. And purely in terms of savings, Zong Yun was really the poorest among the devils.

According to the strength and status of Zong Yun's Ten Demons, he would not be so poor at all. But he happened to do the same thing as Xiao Wen, which was to pay wages to all his subordinates, and the wages were the same.

Although Zong Yun still looks aloof, the relationship between him and his subordinates is no longer that of master and slave, but that of boss and employee.

Therefore, although Zong Yun still has the same temper as before, it can be said that the people under his command are far better than those under other demons, second only to the two under Xiao Wen.

You should know that Xiao Wen only has three nominal subordinates: the second servant and the first disciple. The second subordinate refers to Ren Lei and Geng Chen, and the disciple refers to Cang Hezi. Because there are only three, Xiao Wen gives them very good treatment.

good.

But Zong Yun had ten subordinates under his command, and the treatment of each subordinate was exactly the same as that of Ren Lei and others. So in this way, Zong Yun turned himself into a pauper without much savings.

Although Zong Yun's subordinates were as dedicated as Xiao Wen's second servants and first disciples, Zong Yun still did not have enough, and his initial capital was not enough, so now he has caught up with Xiao Wen in terms of intelligence network.

However, in any case, Zong Yun, in Xiao Wen's perception, they are almost like-minded. Especially when Jin Shaoqing and Bai Sheng did not do this, Zong Yun made Xiao Wen feel that they were on the same page.

.

So when he had the opportunity to provide some help to like-minded people, Xiao Wen was naturally willing to donate generously. Even if he didn't speak, the enthusiasm and sincerity in his eyes were enough for Zong Yun to feel it.

"Okay, Red Demon Fruit! I need the Red Demon Fruit to strengthen the spiritual beast." Zong Yun's ice cube face finally melted into Xiao Wen's enthusiastic eyes, and then he finally said his other half's request.

However, after Zong Yun made this request, Xiao Wen did not immediately take out anything or even say anything. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Jin Shaoqing not far away.

Jin Shaoqing has always been regarded as Xiao Wen's think tank. Whenever Xiao Wen has any doubts about anything, he will ask Jin Shaoqing for help. It seems that this time is no exception. But in this way...

Zong Yun looked at Xiao Wen's actions and immediately analyzed the reason for the scene in front of him. It is true that Xiao Wen does not have much power and does not know much about calculations, but his good friend Jin Shaoqing is good at this.

But after realizing this, Zong Yun couldn't help but feel his heart sink. Because according to Jin Shaoqing's calculations and the city government, he is the one who knows the balance best. Especially when it comes to the improvement of Zong Yun's strength, Jin Shaoqing no matter what

Whether it's from Xiao Wen's perspective or from his own perspective, they probably don't want to see it.

But just when Zong Yun felt more and more that the Red Demon Fruit's request was likely to fail, and even began to silently convince himself that he could satisfy it, he heard Xiao Wen's words.

"Xiaosi, don't pretend to be dead! Take out the red demon fruit quickly. There are hundreds of red demon fruits. It's impossible for the insect king to eat them all in such a short time."

"Okay~Here, give it! I've never seen you so stingy. How can you give something away and then ask for it back?"

"Bah! Did I give that to you? It was obviously you who stole it without being bluffed. You were smart and didn't let you take it all out." Xiao Wen has experienced many times when it comes to Jin Shaoqing's complaints, and he is completely

I'm not afraid that Jin Shaoqing will fall out.

And Jin Shaoqing also knows that after Xiao Wen said this, the matter of giving Zong Yun the Red Demon Fruit has been confirmed. Although Jin Shaoqing was indeed thinking about whether to curb Zong Yun's excessive power, he changed his mind after thinking about it.

After thinking about it, he felt that the current situation was not appropriate.

Since it can't be done, it's better to sell it to Zong Yun. At least it's not a bad thing for Xiao Wen or Jin Shaoqing to do a favor with Zong Yun. And even if Zong Yun doesn't recognize this favor in the future, Jin Shaoqing will

He didn't care either. Because he found that Zong Yun was unlikely to be able to defeat Xiao Wen, and Xiao Wen was on his side.

"Well, just like the magic jujube, I will give you three big handfuls first! You can use them first. Remember not to feed your spirit pet more than you can eat at one time, otherwise the spirit pet will turn into a demon. If these are used up, you can always find them again.

I want."

"Okay, I'd like to thank you." Zong Yun was a little surprised by what Jin Shaoqing said just now, and felt that his previous views on Jin Shaoqing might be biased.

"You don't have to look at me like this. Although I have thought about curbing your strength, it is definitely not now. Now that we are troubled internally and externally, it will be very meaningless for us to engage in such small tricks. As for the future, I don't think I will lose.

.Although I'm not as good as you in terms of hard power, I have advantages that you don't have."

When Jin Shaoqing handed Zong Yun the Red Demon Fruit, he took the opportunity to get close to Zong Yun and used [Psychic Technique] on Zong Yun's face. The closer the distance between the two parties, the less likely they are to be detected. So Jin Shaoqing

Apart from Zong Yun and Jin Shaoqing, no one else heard the call Qing just made.

"Thank you for your help! Thank you for your frankness! As for winning or losing in the future, I still firmly believe that my own strength is the most powerful guarantee. But I agree with you, it is really pointless to make small moves now."

"Hahaha! Okay. Now that everyone has reached an agreement, I wish us a happy cooperation!" After Jin Shaoqing handed over the magic dates, he then said a pun to Zong Yun.

"Okay! Happy cooperation. Xiao Wen, I suggest that you take the lead in the next action. If conditions permit, everyone will discuss it; if conditions do not allow it, you will give the orders!"
Chapter completed!
