Chapter 75 A big deal
Looking at the man in black robe who came through the door, Xiao Zhan and the three elders quickly walked out from the table, stepped forward quickly, and said with a respectful smile: "Old sir, things in the clan are busy, and Xiao Zhan didn't come out to greet him. Forgive me."
"Haha, no need to be polite." Under the black robe, the old voice smiled faintly.
Xiao Zhan nodded eagerly, winked at the three elders, quickly moved out of the way, and said with a smile: "Old sir, please take a seat."
The man in black robe smiled and nodded, walked straight up without any courtesy and sat down at the front seat next to him.
Seeing Xiao Zhan and others treating the man in black robes with such respect, the younger generation of tribesmen couldn't help but whisper. Curious eyes kept scanning the man in black robes, and when they heard the words beside them, After the elder revealed the identity of the alchemist of the man in black, his eyes suddenly became hot and... worshipful. No matter where he is, the alchemist is always the most awe-inspiring profession.
"Sister, isn't that person the mysterious alchemist I saw at the auction house that day?" Xiao Ning stared at the man in black robe with gleaming eyes, pulling Xiao Yu's sleeve and said eagerly.
"Yes." Xiao Yu nodded slightly, her beautiful eyes resting on the man in black robe, her pretty face showing a little surprise: "I didn't expect that this old gentleman really came to our Xiao family. It seems that he last time The words of cooperation are not just casual remarks... If he helps, the Xiao family's predicament should be solved smoothly. "
Listening to the whispers of the tribesmen around her, Xun'er frowned slightly, and her Qiu Shui eyes stared closely at the bloated man in black robes. For some reason, she always seemed to vaguely feel that the man in black robes in front of her was moving. There is always a bit of disharmony in terms of language...
Frowning and thinking hard, Xun'er had no choice but to give up her random thinking after a long while with no results.
"Haha, old gentleman, I wonder why you came to Xiao's house today?" Xiao Zhan asked with a smile as he personally brought a cup of warm tea.
"I just happened to be passing by here, so I wanted to come over and see the talented young man in your family who jumped several times with a little foundation-building liquid from me." Under the black robe, the old voice said with a faint smile.
Hearing this, Xiao Zhan quickly looked around the hall, but did not see Xiao Yan's shadow, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Haha, there's no need to shout, Chief Xiao. I've already met Mr. Gui. He's a very nice young man. He's very much to my liking..." He waved his hand to stop Xiao Zhan from sending someone to shout. The man in black robe He smiled, but the admiration in his tone was not concealed, which actually made the face of a certain young man hiding under the black robe feel a little embarrassed.
Hearing the admiring tone of the man in black robe, everyone in the hall couldn't help but show a hint of envy. It was not an easy thing to be praised like this by a high-ranking alchemist.
"Every good thing has been taken by that guy." Xiao Ning curled his lips unwillingly, with a hint of envy in his tone.
Xiao Yu also sighed helplessly, held her cheek in her hand, and whispered softly: "Is that guy really so good? Why didn't I notice it?"
Hearing the words of the man in black robe, the smile on Xiao Zhan's face became a little brighter, and there was a bit of pride in his eyes.
"Haha, Chief Xiao, the Xiao family seems to be in bad shape lately, right?" Before the smile on Xiao Zhan's face could fully spread, he was dulled by the old voice again.
Xiao Zhan nodded dullly, and said with a bitter smile: "Presumably the old gentleman also knows the current situation of the Xiao family, right?"
"Well, I know a little bit." Nodding, the man in black robe smiled.
"Alas, the current Xiao family has been squeezed out by nearly 50% of its property by the Jialie family. If this continues for a long time, I'm afraid we will become a second-rate force in Wutan City." Xiao Zhan sighed with a sigh. , the frowned brows seemed a bit older.
"Haha, although I don't have a close relationship with the Xiao family, I have quite a good relationship with Young Master Gui. If the Xiao clan leader is not afraid of my bad ideas, how about we cooperate?" The man in black robe chuckled. .
Hearing this, Xiao Zhan was startled at first, and then his face was filled with ecstasy. He had been holding back his stomach, didn't he just want to say this... After excitedly looking at each other with the three elders, he nodded without hesitation: "Mr. , being able to cooperate with you is something that the Xiao family is looking forward to!"
It is almost impossible for a family like theirs to hire an alchemist who is at least the second level or above, and Xiao Zhan does not think that his family can have anything to impress a second-level alchemist. Look at this The way the old man spoke, it seemed that the cooperation with the Xiao family was mostly due to Xiao Yan. How could Xiao Zhan, as the leader of the clan, give up such an opportunity so easily?
Seeing Xiao Zhan's statement, the man in black robe smiled and nodded. A white palm came out from the black robe. There was a light red ring on his finger. His fingertip flicked on the ring. Suddenly, the light Flashing…
Looking at the palm as white as a boy, Xiao Zhan was momentarily absent-minded. This palm gave him a... somewhat familiar feeling.
Before Xiao Zhan had time to think about where this familiar feeling came from, he was stunned by the large pile of jade bottles that suddenly appeared on the table.
The huge conference table was covered with neat little jade bottles in the blink of an eye without any gaps.
Looking at the countless small jade bottles that appeared out of thin air, everyone in the hall, except for the girl in green clothes by the window, was shocked by the huge amount of pills and took a breath.
"Here are one thousand two hundred and eighty-three bottles of healing medicine called "Coagulation Powder". Although I dare not say that it is the best healing medicine, compared to the "Rejuvenation Powder" of the Jialie family, the healing effect is even better. It needs to be more conspicuous." Looking at the shocked eyes in the hall, the man in black robe introduced softly as if nothing had happened.
Xiao Zhan twitched the corner of his mouth and took a deep breath of cold air: "This is the real big deal!"
