Beiyin Great Sage

The rain gradually became sparse.

Shopkeeper Tian took off his raincoat, shook off the mud on his shoes, nodded and bowed in front of several guards, and explained his background before stepping inside.

lobby.

A group of guards were on guard, and the inexplicable pressure made him bow subconsciously. He didn't relax until he saw the figure sitting beside him.

"Elder Zhou."

"Shopkeeper Tian."

Zhou Jia put down the book in his hand and nodded:

"You're here, sit down."

"Don't dare, don't dare." Shopkeeper Tian waved his hands repeatedly. Facing a black iron strongman, the gap in cultivation and status even made him dare not raise his head and look directly at him.

He took out a bottle of elixir from his sleeve and presented it, saying:

"The precious medicine sent by my master this month."

"Thank you." Zhou Jia nodded, took the porcelain bottle, and opened the lid.

"Bo!"

A strong medicinal fragrance came to my face.

With long-term experience in taking medicine, Zhou Jia could identify many of the ingredients in it by just sniffing his nose, and a look of satisfaction immediately appeared on his face:

"Ms. Xu is interested in the precious medicine containing the essence."

"It should, it should." Shopkeeper Tian nodded repeatedly:

"The master also hopes that Elder Zhou will succeed in his cultivation and that our business will grow bigger and bigger in the future. We always keep the treasure medicine in mind."

"Yeah." Zhou Jia put away the elixir and looked up:

"Speaking of which, I haven't heard Miss Xu talk about business matters for some time. How is Mr. Xu's situation now after he returns?"

"Mr. Xu." Shopkeeper Tian had a strange expression:

"That day, the owner of the Blood Vine Tower showed up and killed Senior Cai. Mr. Xu was frightened and bedridden for several days. It's been several months now, and I heard he still hasn't recovered."

"I'm afraid..."

"It's useless!"

Having said this, he lowered his head and suppressed the smile on his face.

He is a native of Stone City.

He was favored by Qian Xiaoyun and Xu Xiuzhi early on and became the shopkeeper of the local Qianling Pavilion. With his current status, he is unwilling to change his boss.

Zhou Jia raised his eyebrows.

He didn't expect that Xu Chang's ability to withstand it would be so weak, but that's fine, it saved a lot of trouble.

"Elder Zhou." Shopkeeper Tian said:

"This batch of goods..."

"Go to my house to find Sanshui." Zhou Jia came back to his senses, took a token from his body and handed it over:

"Just ask him to take you to get it."

"Yes." Shopkeeper Tian's eyes lit up:

"The villain takes his leave."

Watching the other party leave, Zhou Jia slowly looked back.

Ever since he found the treasure medicine in the Blood Vine Tower and tasted the rapid improvement brought by the essence treasure medicine to his cultivation, ordinary pills have been ignored by him.

months.

One level!

This kind of entry can make others envious.

It's no wonder that some people in the inner sect, the military, and even the imperial family can still improve by leaps and bounds after advancing to the black iron level.

Unfortunately, source medicine is rare and ordinary people cannot afford it.

Fortunately, Zhou Jia's path is wide enough.

The Xu family would send a bottle every month, as well as a Heavenly King Pill given by Lei Mei, and with the help of a large number of ordinary pills, the progress of cultivation was still not slow.

Two years!

It doesn't even take two years for him to be sure to break the second level of Shenhuang Jue.

In short,

The future is promising!

…………

"Uncle Zhou."

Not long after Shopkeeper Tian left, another person came to Xiaolangdao.

The visitor's surname was Ke. He was already in his forties, but he was of lower seniority and had low cultivation. He had been doing trivial things on the island.

He is called Guanshi Ke.

He cupped his fists and cupped his hands, saying:

"There have been a lot of new people coming to the island recently, and the seniors are not good enough. Elder Yang asked you to choose two people to be his disciples."

"Huh?" Zhou Jia frowned slightly:

"So urgent."

According to the rules of the Xuantian Alliance, in order to continue the human heritage of the Dalin Dynasty, every black iron strongman needs to recruit disciples to teach the law.

In this way, martial arts is passed down.

But if you are a new black iron, you don't have to accept apprentices in the first few years.

People like Zhou Jia who have outstanding talents and promising futures can even refuse to accept apprentices and focus on practicing and pursuing higher realms.

certainly,

This is only in theory, the actual operation is different.

"In the past few years, there have been fewer people on the island." Manager Ke said with a smile on his face:

"I don't know why, but we have a lot of disciples in this lineage recently. The seniors are too busy, so we can only trouble our uncle."

"Don't worry, Uncle Zhou. I'm just placing a quota with you, so you don't need to worry about it normally."

"certainly……"

He raised his head and said:

"They can also run forward and backward if you need to."

Zhou Jia shook his head secretly.

It seems that there are more people using the back door this year, and their disciple quota is also targeted, but they are not given any benefits.

Some people on the island are also too stingy.

Then he sighed softly and stretched out his hand to signal:

"Bring me the list."

"Yes." Manager Ke was overjoyed and hurriedly took out a booklet and opened a few pages:

"Uncle Master, please take a look. These are the more outstanding disciples in this group. Two of them are less than twenty years old and are already at the peak of seventh grade."

"This person..."

"Yang Ku?" Zhou Jia paused with his finger on the name of one of them and said with a smile:

"Fifth grade, can you get started?"

"This..." Manager Ke's throat rolled and he said:

"This son has a foreign surname of Yang, so he is more accommodating."

Zhou Jia shook his head.

This Yang Kushi is Yang Xuan's son. Although they both have the surname Yang, they have nothing to do with the Yang family on Xiaolang Island.

I'm afraid I got in after doing a lot of good things.

It's funny to say.

In order for his son not to be hindered by his identity, Yang Xuan tried every means to send Yang Ku to Xiaolang Island, but he never thought that the two owners of Xueteng Tower were both from the island.

Isn't it like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?

"Just him." Zhou Jia pointed to Yang Ku's name with a smile:

"I have received guidance from Elder Yang. I should repay this son by being named under my name, and this person named Lin Yuan will come with me."

"yes."

As expected, Manager Ke bowed his head.

"Elder Zhou!"

At this time, Lei Yue walked out of the backyard:

"It's ready here. Sister Mei said that she has been busy these past few days and is a little tired. I just don't have any plans today. I plan to go to Qihuju to get together with a few friends and just relax."

"good!"

Zhou Jia nodded and stood up slowly:

"let's go!"

*

*

As more and more people support Lei Mei, her trip becomes more formal.

There were dozens of honor guards in front to clear the way, and more than ten elite guards behind them to protect them, accompanied by the black iron Zhou Jia.

There are also Chen Ying, Lei Yue and others who are busy.

Although there was no loud noise of gongs and drums in the huge procession, the silent majesty caused pedestrians on the road to retreat to both sides early to avoid it.

Qihuju is located in the city.

Originally a courtyard of a wealthy family, it was later converted into a garden with a winery and an inn, and gradually became a place for banquets and gatherings.

Second floor.

Dense branches and flower clusters blocked the window, and through the gaps, the motorcade outside could be seen in the distance.

"Sister Mei'er is really different. Traveling is so lively now. If you become the leader of the Tianhu Gang one day, what's the point?"

Someone opened the window and spoke in a low voice.

"Who says it's not?"

There were lots of smiles in the room, some were coquettish and some were envious:

"In my opinion, Sister Mei'er doesn't need to think about who to marry. With her current status, what kind of man can she want?"

"Build a golden nest and raise a bunch of men!"

"enough."

Someone frowned and scolded in a low voice:

"We used to just talk about this kind of thing in private, but now that Sister Mei hears it, even if she doesn't mind, the people around her will."

"Don't ask for trouble!"

"snort!"

Someone hummed:

"Yes, Lei Mei's identity is different. He is going to be the leader of the gang. He will not have time to interact with idlers like us in the future."

"If you don't want to come, you can leave!"

One person looked at it coldly:

"You think that the current Lei Mei can be seen by us whenever we want. In my opinion, your family is probably eager for you to come and become familiar with Lei Mei."

"you……"

"What are you, aren't you?"

"enough!"

A woman stood up and yelled:

"If you keep nagging, everyone get out."

This woman's identity seemed to be quite different. When the women heard this, their faces turned pale. No one dared to refute, and they all bowed their heads and stopped.

"Why didn't Baimen come?"

The woman glanced at her whole body and frowned:

"I wrote to her."

"Sister Huan, the eldest brother of the Baimen is competing with Sister Mei'er for the position of leader of the Tianhu Gang. It is said that Sister Mei'er secretly hired someone to assassinate Qiu Yingchen." A woman said:

"The two of them have broken off their friendship."

As he spoke, he shook his head slightly with regret on his face.

All the girls are the daughters of powerful families in the city, but there are only a few at the core.

Apart from Meng Bulijiao and Jiao Bulimeng from Lei Mei and Qiu Baimen, Ouyang Huan, the two young ladies from the Su family who belong to the city lord's mansion, have the most aloof status.

The two girls from the Su family did not come today.

Qiu Baimen didn't come either.

On the other hand, there were some people of low status who, after hearing the news, had various connections and rushed over just to look familiar in front of Lei Mei.

There are not many such people.

"..."

Ouyang Huan's pretty face tightened, she paused, and waved her hand:

"Yurong and Qingye stay, the others go downstairs."

"We, sisters, didn't come when we were supposed to. Why are there so many useless outsiders coming? It makes us upset just to see them."

"Sister Huan!" As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of several women who were usually close to each other changed.

When he opened his mouth to speak, he saw that Ouyang Huan already had a look on his face.

"good."

"All right."

The girls looked stiff, but they did not dare to say anything in front of Ouyang Huan, who was obviously angry. They chatted with each other and went downstairs one after another.

Only two women remained.

There was an immediate silence in the field.

"Sister Huan, there is no need to be angry."

The jade face has a gentle temperament, and her voice is soothing:

"They were also forced to come here by their families. As young ladies from a wealthy family, they flatter others. They may not be happy about it, and there is no need to express their anger."

"Yurong, you are still such a good-tempered person." Ouyang Huan shook his head gently, with irritation on his face, and stretched out his hand to rub his brow:

"We haven't gotten together for a while. Lei Mei is troubled and worried, and we can't help her much. It would be good to have a conversation with her and talk about our feelings."

As he said that, he looked at the cold-tempered woman beside him:

"Qingye, don't keep a sullen face and say a few more words."

"There's nothing to say." Qingye shook his head:

"Wine, I can drink as much as I can with her."

"Pfft!"

When the two women heard this, they smiled like flowers trembling.

Ouyang Huan shook his head repeatedly:

"It would be a good thing if you could really get Lei Mei drunk. She should really relax now."

While talking, footsteps could be heard from outside.

The door opens.

Lei Mei and Chen Ying walked in.

"Sister Huan, Yurong, Qingye..."

Looking at the three girls, the majesty on Lei Mei's face slowly dissipated, and his former daughter's family attitude reappeared, smiling and nodding:

"You are all here."

"Thunder Eyebrow." Ouyang Huan quickly came to her side, stretched out his hand to touch her cheek, his eyes were filled with tears:

"It's only been a few days since I last saw you. Why is your skin so dry and your eyes are bloodshot? Are you afraid that you haven't had a good rest for a while?"

"Why!"

"The position of the gang leader..."

"Forget it, let's not talk about these troublesome things and sit down to drink. Don't think about those messy trivial things today. Have a good drink!"

"Okay!" Lei Mei nodded heavily.

These days, she has been running around among various forces, working hard, and has been questioned many times, and the attacks have never stopped.

Work hard, work hard, and have no leisure time.

The benefits have not been seen.

The sisters who used to be so close to each other have severed ties with her.

The sadness in my heart is beyond words.

But you can't talk or talk about it. If you want to be the leader of the gang, how can you have a little daughter to show off.

The position of future gang leader is like an invisible shackle, firmly restraining her, reminding her that every move must be measured.

Only in front of these people can I relax a little.

"Have a good drink today!"

Chen Ying on the side opened her mouth, but stopped talking.

She should remind Lei Mei to pay attention to her words and deeds, but at this time, the other party's fatigue was also taken into consideration, and she couldn't bear it.

After so many busy days, it doesn't hurt to relax and unwind.

Yurong chuckled, turned around and packed up the seats, food and drinks. When the other women didn't notice, the halo in her eyes dimmed quietly.

Qihuju is not far away.

The two of them stood in a pavilion somewhere, looking down at the passing motorcade.

"Tianhu Gang!"

Su Er narrowed his eyes and sneered:

"There really is no one to choose. The position of gang leader should be taken by a woman. The people on Xiaolang Island are really becoming more and more useless."

"Second uncle."

Su Yan stood behind him, his eyes flashing:

"It really doesn't matter?"

"What are you afraid of?" Su E looked back and said:

"Don't forget, you are a descendant of the Su family. Even if you take her body, can Xiaolangdao still kill you?"

"The big deal is, just marry him back."

"That's good!" Su Yan rubbed his hands together:

"That girl from Lei Mei has an outstanding appearance and figure, but she has a stronger temper. But this kind of woman is more interesting to play with."

"That's how it should be!" Su E said with a smile on his face:

"Women are men's playthings. If you want to play with them, you should play aggressively. Only in this way can you have fun, let alone Lei Batian's daughter!"

When he mentioned the three words "Lei Batian", his expression was slightly distorted, and a trace of fear flashed subconsciously in his eyes.

But he was suppressed in an instant.

"Are you sure you can win Thunder Eyebrow?"

After calming down his mind, Su E said:

"This girl's strength is not weak. You have been hiding for so many years, and your cultivation has improved, but you lack the experience to fight with others."

"I'm afraid you are no match for her."

"Second uncle, don't worry." Su An smiled lowly:

"My nephew never likes fighting. Why bother to do it when we can solve it in other ways? Qiu Yingchen has arranged this matter. He promises that nothing will happen."

"That Zhou Jia..."

He pursed his lips and said:

"With this person following Lei Mei, I'm afraid I won't be able to make a move."

"Don't worry about that." Su E stretched his muscles and said:

"Let me help you solve it."
