There are two choices before him.
One is to work together with the Liu family to mine this Yangang stone vein.
But the Liu family is obviously an ungrateful family. Once they are informed, I am afraid that when the money is distributed, their family will not even get a fraction of it.
He rejected the idea outright:
"It looks like we have to go to Baihe County."
Report to the Xuan family.
This was his second choice.
As for how much dividend the Xuan family will give him in the end, it is unknown.
No matter what, it is better than letting the Zhao family and the Liu family take it all.
When going out.
Suddenly, there was a rapid beeping sound from his waist.
Lin Jie's face lit up with joy, and he cast a spell on the communication jade talisman. Liu Meizhen's voice came out: "Brother Lin Jie, I'm on my way to Baihe Market. See you later."
Long time no see.
Even though it's just listening to the sound.
Lin Jie was also very happy. Thinking that he would soon see the person he had been thinking about day and night, he quickened his pace and entered the Baihe market in the afternoon.
Arrived at the market town.
He headed straight for the backstreet stall.
Obtaining the ancient monk's talisman pen is of utmost importance.
To the back street.
From a distance, I heard a cursing voice coming from the front:
"You old thing, it's your blessing that this young master likes your junk, don't be so arrogant, if this young master didn't think that this talisman pen was destined to be with me, who would be willing to give you sixty spirit stones."
"Mr. Zhao, this talisman pen has been passed down from generation to generation in my family. It has been passed down to me for the 108th generation. If it weren't for my daughter's urgent need for the Barrier Breaking Pill for a breakthrough, I would never sell this ancestral treasure. I still say the same thing. I won't sell it even if it's one hundred spirit stones less."
"Hey, you old man, you really don't want to sell it, right?!"
Liu Cangtou, who was setting up a stall, shook his head and took the talisman pen back from Zhao Wentai. If he hadn't seen that the other party was the grandson of Zhao Laozu, who was at the peak of Qi training, he would have chased him away long ago.
"Just wait for me!"
Zhao Wentai was instantly furious.
He finally found something he liked.
This damn old guy is still asking for a sky-high price and won't sell it.
He immediately planned in his mind to ask his clan brothers to ambush Liu Cangtou on his way home. Then, he would kill him directly and get the talisman pen without spending a single spirit stone.
besides.
I heard that Liu Cangtou's granddaughter was pretty, so he took her to the Zhao family to be his third concubine.
Thinking so.
Zhao Wentai's mood suddenly improved.
However.
Suddenly, a harsh voice came from behind:
"Fellow Daoist, this is one hundred spirit stones. I want this talisman pen."
Zhao Wentai turned around suddenly.
The person who came into view was Lin Jie.
Lin Jie didn't hesitate at all. After handing the hundred spirit stones to Liu Cangtou, he put the talisman pen into his arms and walked past Zhao Wentai as if he didn't see him.
"Stop right there!"
Zhao Wentai was furious.
The thing that Master Zhao had set his eyes on, Lin Jie, this loser, actually dared to compete with him:
"I was the first one to take a fancy to the talisman pen. Who do you think you are to steal my love?"
Lin Jie kept walking.
It's like he didn't hear what the other person said.
Zhao Wentai had never been insulted like this before. He stretched out his right claw like lightning and grabbed Lin Jie's shoulder. However, Lin Jie seemed to have eyes on his back. He dodged and slammed Zhao Wentai's chest.
"puff!"
Zhao Wentai opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
He staggered and almost fell.
It was only then that he discovered that Lin Jie had actually broken through to the fourth level of Qi training. A few months ago, he was still at the second level of Qi training like him.
The fight between the two.
It also attracted the law enforcement team in the market.
Zhao Wentai immediately filed a complaint:
"Captain Chen, you have to do me justice. Lin Jie not only stole the treasure I had set my eyes on, but also injured someone!"
Lin Jie hasn't spoken yet.
Seeing that Lin Jie was the same age as his grandson, Liu Cangtou, who was standing by, could not help but step forward and said, "Captain Chen, it was Master Zhao who did not want the talisman pen first, and it was also Master Zhao who first attacked this Taoist friend."
"Old man, are you blind? If I attack first, I will be hit! Captain Chen, don't listen to what this old man says."
Zhao Wentai stuffed a box from his sleeve and handed it to Captain Chen.
However.
Captain Chen, who usually treated him as a brother, took a step back and waved his hand, saying,
"Come here, Zhao Wentai does not follow the rules of the market, kick him out immediately, and put him on the blacklist, and he is not allowed to set foot in the market for three years!"
"Captain Chen, are you kidding me?"
The day before yesterday, they were drinking together.
Why did you suddenly turn against me?
Captain Chen didn't even look at Zhao Wentai, but apologized to Lin Jie:
"Patriarch Lin, I'm so sorry that I'm late and scared you."
The crowd watching pointed at Zhao Wentai.
Discussions abound:
"Lin Jie is Xuan Hongyu's savior. Everyone in Baihe County knows this. Xuan Feng has also said that anyone who touches Lin Jie from now on will be against him. Xuan Feng is a veteran foundation-building cultivator. Zhao Wentai must have been kicked in the head by a donkey. He actually dared to attack Lin Jie in public."
"They must be so used to bullying the Zhao family that they think the Baihe Market is owned by the Zhao family. It's so funny."
I heard discussions coming from all around.
Zhao Wentai's face turned pale and blue. When he was dragged out, he stared at Lin Jie intently, as if he wanted to eat Lin Jie alive.
"etc"
However.
The next moment.
A gentle voice sounded.
When everyone looked back, they saw Xuan Hongyu walking out of the crowd. Zhao Wentai's face suddenly turned as pale as paper.
I never expected this.
Xuan Hongyu will appear in Baihe Market.
Xuan Hongyu said to Lin Jie,
"Friend Lin, did he attack you with his right hand just now?"
Lin Jie didn't understand and nodded slightly.
Xuan Hongyu swung her sword, and immediately a sword light shot out from her fingertips, sweeping past Zhao Wentai's right arm as fast as lightning.
The next moment.
Zhao Wentai let out a scream.
But his right arm was cut off at the root and fell to the ground.
Xuan Hongyu said coldly,
"When my great grandfather first built the Baihe Market, he set a rule that no one could attack others in the market. I hope this arm will teach you a lesson today."
No one dared to say a word.
Captain Chen was afraid that Zhao Wentai would say something to offend the Xuan family and implicate himself, so he quickly stepped forward and struck the man on the neck, causing him to faint. He then personally dragged him out of the market.
Watching Zhao Wentai being dragged away.
Lin Jie sighed in his heart:
"This has become a big deal."
In this way.
The Zhao family hated the Lin family even more.
but.
The two families were old enemies.
Xuan Hongyu's personal presence today will also give some impetus to those nearby villains who want to take advantage of the Lin family to give up their thoughts.
