Chapter 244 Wild Listener
Such a formal meeting was obviously not allowed to be discussed in the square. Xia Fan led everyone into the lobby of the headquarters and used Qianzhi to make a honey matcha shaved ice on the spot.
"Yeah, it's not bad." Qianyan nodded and praised after tasting calmly. "The clever fusion of several flavors will not conceal their own characteristics, and they can be qualified even as tributes."
This is the boss who has lived for hundreds of years? Xia Fan thought to himself that Qianzhi, who has to add a bowl after eating, does have a unique style.
"My name is Qianyan," she put down the bowl and spoon, stood up and bowed, "From the Fang family in Lingzhou, he is a living dead man. Fang Xiandao should have introduced me before."
He also briefly replied, "Jinxia Shumi Mansion Chief, Xia Fan."
"Well. As far as the alchemist is concerned, you have not fallen behind your own foundation." Qianyan looked him up and down a few times, "It is worthy of praise for the level of this era."
"What does it mean?" Xia Fan said curiously.
"She said that you have a lot of breath and have been trained for a long time." Fang Xiandao added in a low voice.
"It's not just that simple. At Mr. Xia's age, if you want to have such a level of qi, you probably have spent time practicing every day since you feel qi, and it has not stopped for more than ten years." Qian Yan said slowly, "This at least shows that Mr. Xia is a very self-disciplined person. Even if he is in a high position now, he has not immediately become addicted to power and women."
Xia Fan couldn't help but blush.
I don’t know if playing with Li’s tail is considered addicted.
Moreover, he found that after he practiced qi to a certain level, it basically became an instinct, which was similar to breathing. Therefore, the form was no longer important. Whether it was Li's training or enjoying the knee pillow, he would not delay the inclusion of qi.
But on the surface he would not reveal any flaws, "Isn't every alchemist like this?"
"How is it possible? Alchemists are also humans and have the same desires as humans." Qianyan said without hesitation, "In the era when Yongguo still exists, the qi-sensing persons always want to improve their strength to deal with possible crises. But now, wars and evil disasters have gone far away, and alchemists do not have such a strong sense of urgency to improve themselves. Haven't you noticed that your ability to cast magic is far above your peers?"
Xia Fan noticed the word "crisis" in her words, "You mean... Yongguo was also facing a major crisis?"
"Of course.or in other words, the crisis has never been resolved."
"Can you tell me in detail?"
"Information cannot be exchanged for just a bowl of iced food. And knowing too much about this is not good for you except to increase your worries." Qianyan put his hands on his chest, "Come back to the topic, Mr. Xia, why are you so obsessed with the living dead in the Fang family? I thought you were out of a personal inferiority, but now it seems that it is not the same. Let me clarify first, the living dead are not all as easy to talk to as Qianzhi."
The little girl next to her nodded sharply.
"I have seen the living dead people who are different from Qianzhi." Xia Fan said in the most sincere tone, "In fact, I have a plan that requires a lot of ice. This job is suitable for the living dead people, so I mentioned it to Fang Xiandao. Of course, what I want is not a living dead people. The more the number, the better. In addition, this is not a free work. The Bureau of Affairs will pay them salary, as well as corresponding holidays and welfare subsidies. I guarantee the benefits are good!"
Qianyan blinked and said nothing.
Xia Fan also fell silent, waiting for the other party's response.
The two of them stared at each other for a long time, and Qianyan felt something was wrong, "...and what?"
"What then? That's the reason."
"You just want people to make ice?"
"No? Anyway, it's not harmful to the living dead if you use natural magic more often?"
"Of course there is no harm, but this is not the point." Qianyan felt a little confused in his mind, "You are obsessed with the reason for the living dead because we can easily produce ice cubes? It is obvious that saltpeter can do it."
"I want a lot of ice, and I need a lot of it every day," Xia Fan corrected, "Saltpeptide cannot make up for this gap, only magic can do it."
"Well, just treat it as one of the reasons, and you have nothing else to do?"
"Uh... can you do anything else?"
This sentence makes me ask a thousand words. The most unique thing about the Living Dead is that it has strong combat capabilities and is difficult to truly die. If there is a force that covets the Living Dead, then most of them want to use them as an army that is not afraid of losses.
If it was just like this, Qian Yan was not worried. What she really focused on was that the other party had a relationship with the Privy Council so young that she was already in charge of the entire mansion. There might be a shadow of a big man behind her. If the Privy Council wanted to pay attention to the dead, she had to be extremely vigilant.
This is also the reason why the current head of the family asked her to come to Jinxia to find out.
Fang Xiandao has no experience, but a thousand knowledge is too simple.
Only she can make a judgment.
However, Qian Yan never expected that the other party just wanted a lot of ice.
She tried to find a trace of concealment or deliberately pretending to be stupid from Xia Fan's expression, but she never found anything.
After hesitating for a moment, Qianyan decided to go straight to the point of "Isn't it for the sake of immortal arts?"
If it is related to the Privy Council, it must be inseparable from the matter of immortal arts. She suddenly raised this topic and might make the other party reveal a flaw.
"Immortal art...what is that?" Xia Fan frowned.
"You haven't even heard of immortal arts?" Qian Yan was also surprised. Doesn't this mean that the other party is not even a senior figure in the Privy Council?
"Should I know it?" Xia Fan thought for a while, "The Living Dead is related to immortal arts?"
"No... nothing." Qian Yan suddenly didn't know how to inquire. Although her basis for looking at people was not a magic, it was more accurate to some extent than a magic. Because magic can be disturbed or cracked by another magic, the flow of expressions, body details and breath are difficult to be reversed by will. Even if a person is expressionless and calm, she can still capture that trace of incongruity. After all, the unchanging expression is a kind of disguise.

However, after asking all the way, the inconsistency never appeared in the other party.
Only turbid water needs insight.
If there was a basin of clear water in front of her, even if she widened her eyes, what clues could she see?
Qianyan simply changed the topic, "Where do you learn from the knowledge you taught in school?"
"No one has taught me." Although Xia Fan wanted to know the following of the immortal arts, he didn't want to miss the living dead, "They were imprinted in my mind from the beginning."
"Do you want to say you're a listener?"
The moment Qianyan said this, he saw a hint of surprise in Xia Fan's eyes, he obviously knew the meaning of the word.
"Where did you... hear this word?"
"It's not a secret that the listener once said." Qian Yan frowned slightly, and a contradictory feeling came to his heart, as if something had been missed by him. "It seems that the reason why you were promoted quickly is this..."
"The Privy Council does not know this at all, and you'd better not mention this word at will." Xia Fan glanced at Fang Xiandao and Qianzhi, who were confused by the side, "I heard that once the Privy Council is known, everyone will cause huge trouble, and the fate will not be much better than that of a monster."
Qianyan was stunned when he heard this.
A lightning flashed through her mind
She knew where that sense of contradiction came from!
As a listener, he actually knows nothing about immortal arts. This means that Xia Fan is not only a wild listener, but also always hides his identity from the Privy Council!
Even the person in front of him was the head of the palace, he was not on the same boat as the Privy Council.
