Chapter 41: Lord Murong
Qin Shou returned to the practice of soul consciousness day after day, and Shui Lan continued to condense the liquid soul power. Everything seemed to become dull. A year passed. Finally one day, San
The elder invited Qin and Shou again, but this time it was not for dinner, but for a meeting in the meeting hall.
As soon as they met and sat down, the third elder regained his businesslike expression.
"Qiu Menke has been in my Murong family for a year."
"Exactly."
"If Qiu Menke still hands over this flame soul-enhancing pill, I can't continue to let you stay in the Murong family with the treatment of the elder Keqing as agreed. We haven't been able to find the other locations with rich elements you mentioned.
.So if Qiu Menke doesn’t mind, can I change to live in the courtyard where the customers live?”
Qin Shou was not annoyed when he heard this, and smiled slightly and said: "In that case, it would be better for us to leave the Murong family. In fact, I have just refined three high-quality flame soul-enhancing pills, but since the Murong family no longer needs
Let's say goodbye to this kind of elixir!" As he spoke, Qin Shou stood up, without even looking at the third elder, winked at Shui Lan, and left the meeting hall together.
Until they left the meeting hall, the three elders did not react. Shui Lan pinched Qin Shou anxiously. Qin Shou held Shui Lan's hand tightly and squeezed it, and followed the leader leisurely.
Followed by, returned to Yingxiang Residence.
Qin Shou didn't say anything, and signaled Shui Lan to pack her things and leave immediately. Shui Lan had no choice but to follow Qin Shou towards the door. Just when Qin Shou was about to leave Murong Mansion, Butler Li appeared out of nowhere and smiled slightly.
Bowed: "You two, please stay. Seeing that you two have decided to leave the Murong family, we, the Third Elder, would like to treat you to a farewell drink."
"I don't think so. I rely on the Murong family to support the two of us. The Murong family needs the elixirs I refined. It's up to each of us to get what we need. Since the Murong family no longer needs my elixirs, we can leave naturally.
, There is no need to be so mother-in-law!" Qin Shou's tone became stern, and Butler Li immediately looked helpless.
"Brother Qiu, stay here. It just so happens that the son of our great elder is about to reshape his soul of fire, and he needs Master Qiu's flame soul-enhancing pill. The old man was a little neglectful of the young master just now, and I hope he can atone for his sins." The third elder didn't know what to do.
Where did it come out.
Qin Shou curled his lips. These three elders are really good. They have to act like this to make them look embarrassed. The heat is controlled well. If I hadn't firmly believed that my elixir is definitely the only one in the world, I would really be embarrassed.
Not sure if you really want to drive me away.
As soon as he rolled his eyes, Qin Shou immediately made a serious face: "Although we are from poor families, we are not the kind of people who can be summoned and left at will. I forgive you for not obeying your orders."
This time, the third elder couldn't hold it any longer and hurriedly said: "If the young master has any conditions, we can discuss them."
Qin Shou said in his heart that he was still very wise. In this case, he said: "Well, it's not impossible for us to stay. This time, of course, we will do it as a real Keqing elder, not as a Keqing elder."
treatment.”
"That's no problem. When we return to Yingxiang Garden, I will send someone to deliver the token."
"The best alchemy room in the alchemy hall. I hope that among all the outside guests, I will have priority to use it."
"Okay, I can promise you this immediately." The third elder agreed quickly this time.
"There is also the Green Flame Fruit. I cannot collect it according to the regulations. If the amount is required for alchemy, the quantity cannot be limited. Don't worry, I will not waste the Green Flame Fruit."
"I will report this to the city lord. It shouldn't be a problem."
"In this case, let's go back to the meeting hall. I still have some requests that need to be made to the third elder alone."
"No, no, go to my courtyard, and don't go to the meeting hall."
Qin Shouxin said that this elder's face could probably defend him against a diamond finger.
Returning to the third elder's living room, after the guests and the host were seated, the third elder immediately said: "Since Elder Qiu has newly refined a higher-quality flame soul-enhancing pill, can you let me appreciate it first?"
Qin Shou smiled and said, "Don't worry yet, I still have something to say."
"Elder Qiu, please speak."
"I have long heard that the Murong family in Golden Soul City has a secret realm rich in wood elements. If it is true, I would like to go there and try this spiritual wood soul-enhancing pill."
"This..." The third elder's face immediately stiffened, as if he didn't know what to do.
"Hey, Third Elder, please don't refuse in a hurry. Take a look at my flame soul-enhancing pill first." After saying that, Qin Shou took out the jade bottle containing the three real flame soul-enhancing pills and handed them over.
The third elder calmed down and gently opened the bottle cap.
Suddenly, a medicinal fragrance that was ten times stronger than the previous flame soul-enhancing pill spurted out, and even the third elder couldn't help but look intoxicated. Soon the third elder came back to his senses and put on a surprised look.
Like this. After pouring a pill into the palm of his hand, the third elder only glanced at it, then stood up suddenly, with an expression of extreme surprise that could not be concealed on his face.
After a while, the third elder reinstalled the elixir and gave Qin Shou a fist in the air: "This matter is no longer something I can decide. I will go see the city lord immediately. I asked Elder Qiu to go back to Yingxiang Garden first and wait for the news."
good?"
"Of course, I'll go back and wait for the good news." Qin Shou smiled slightly, got up and left the yard with Shui Lan.
Not long after we returned, the third elder rushed over again in a hurry, having completely lost his original air of immortality.
"Elder Qiu! The city lord is kind! I will lead the way!"
To Qin Shou's expectation, although the courtyard of the city lord is right next to the third elder's and can be called a luxurious residence, it is very small. There is only one wooden house and the furnishings in the courtyard are very simple. Everything is completely incompatible with the title of city lord.
.
But after the third elder entered the courtyard, he was very cautious and respectfully walked to the door of the wooden house and said: "Your Majesty, the two guest elders have already arrived."
A very old-sounding voice replied: "Oh, step back!"
"Yes!" The third elder didn't even look at Qin Shou and the other two. He left the courtyard and closed the door. The two looked at each other, a little confused.
"Don't you two want to enter the secret realm? Then please come in." The old voice sounded again, as if this person was already so old that he was about to disappear.
Qin Shou immediately pulled Shui Lan towards the wooden door, but Shui Lan's hands were sweating slightly. No wonder, this city lord should be the third elder who killed the Murong clan leader and helped outsiders control the Murong family. Although Shui Lan has not experienced those things
But this can be regarded as a meeting of enemies. In fact, Qin Shou also knew this, but he discovered something not right. These three elders should be one generation older than Murong Yun, but they should be in their fifties or sixties.
Sui, why does this voice sound so old? Or is it that the city lord is no longer the third elder? Thinking of this question, Qin Shou opened the wooden door.
As the old wooden door made a harsh friction sound, the sunlight from outside the house came in, and the scene inside the house was also revealed. Apart from a pair of tables and chairs, there was only a wooden bed, with a man lying on it.
An old man with white hair was staring at them with slightly hazy eyes.
Qin Shou felt even more incredible. How could an old man who looked terminally ill be the lord of a main city? But the performance of the third elder just now could not be fake.
The old man just looked at Qin Shou for a moment, then turned his gaze to Shui Lan, as if his dim-looking eyes suddenly flashed with some kind of light. Shui Lan immediately seemed to feel uncomfortable and wanted to try his best to avoid it.
The old man's gaze. But after a moment, the old man returned to his sickly look and sat up with some difficulty.
"I've made you both laugh. I hope you can sit down before we start talking." The old man's voice remained the same.
Qin Shou and Qin Shou sat down as instructed. Shui Lan seemed a little afraid of the old man's gaze, so she stayed close to Qin Shou and did not dare to look directly at the old man.
"Hahaha, God finally gave me a chance." After a burst of laughter that seemed very happy, the old man adjusted his posture, but Qin Shou felt as if the old man's temperament had changed and he suddenly became upright.
He seemed to have regained some confidence, or made some determination, but the old man's words below scared Qin Shou so much that he almost ran away.
"If I guess correctly, you are Murong Yun's daughter." The old man said calmly. Upon hearing this, Qin Shou immediately stood up, and his soul power began to fluctuate violently.
"Young man, sit down. If I wanted to harm you, you would have turned into two corpses long ago." The old man waved his hand towards Qin Shou.
"I am your third uncle, Murong Feng. The timing of your arrival is very lucky. If that person is still here, I am afraid that you will die as soon as you enter this Murong Mansion."
