Coffin of the Nether World - C63
Lao Xu just told me that he has a loyal customer, Director Huang, and there’s something in his hands that I want.
While I was hesitating, Lao Xu suddenly spoke to me from the side:
Last time, I think he must have done something bad. He came to find me in a hurry and asked me to keep going to his house to tell him what it was about. I don’t want you to know.
“I just gave him a ‘blessings’ after casually opening the altar. At that time, I casually said, ‘If there’s anything with spirit, it would be even better’. Originally, I wanted to sell the dog tooth I picked up to him as a wolf tooth.”
“I didn’t think he would suddenly take out a very beautiful box from his desk. After opening the box, he showed me a thumb-sized glass bead inside, and even asked me if I wanted that.”
“Actually, I don’t know anything, but even if I don’t know anything, I can tell that the thing he took out is definitely not an ordinary thing, because holding it in my hand is like holding a block of ice. It’s very cold, and there’s even something like mist floating inside it.”
“He just told me that he spent a huge sum of money to buy it and prepared to give it to a customer. According to the people who sold it to him, they said that it was some kind of a Ice Essence and it couldn’t even melt normal flames.
“At that time, I told him that this was a good thing, don’t give it to anyone, it’s not something money can buy, heh! I didn’t expect that you would get lucky now. ”
After Lao Xu finished speaking, he looked at me, and his last sentence was as though as long as I agreed to it, I could get that whatever Ice Essence in my hands.
Whether it’s cheating or stealing, these are all things that I am unwilling to do. I believe that Master, Big Sister Xiaowen and the Sister Kexuan are all not willing for me to go and steal them.
But…
I turned around and asked Lao Xu: “That Director Huang you were talking about, if we don’t get that Ice Essence in a few days, will there be any problems?”
Hearing my question, Lao Xu laughed and said to me: “Since you’re asking this question, are you still going to listen to my solution?”
I shook my head and said to Lao Xu: “No, I actually want you to use your ‘Xu Half Immortal’ title to borrow it, can I?”
Hearing my words, Lao Xu frowned for a moment, and then said to me, “Being able to borrow it is obviously the best result, but have you thought about it, brat? If we don’t borrow it, then it would only cause us to be on guard, and even if you want to steal it later, it will be extremely difficult, but if you really want me to borrow it, then it’s not like I can’t borrow the Old Man.”
Then, I became a little uncertain and noticed that this guy was really worrying me to death.
“I guess you are also thinking about tomorrow’s exam for your sister. Take a look at it yourself. It’s already four-thirty and you don’t have much time left! Hurry up and make up your mind. ” Lao Xu pointed to the clock on his wall and said to me.
After thinking about it, I still feel that Zhang Kefan is more important. If Lao Xu really has a way to trick that Ice Essence over, then I’ll just treat it as borrowing it for a few days. At that time, I’ll return it to him.
So I directly asked Lao Xu: “You said you want to cheat? Do you need my help? ”
Stealing and deceiving, I still feel that it is better to cheat. The difficulty of stealing is definitely the greatest and also the most risky.
Lao Xu laughed and said: “I knew that you wanted to pick this one. There isn’t much time left, we’ll go as we please, we’ll go to my room to retrieve all my belongings. I’ll go change my clothes first, this time I’ll see if I can scam him or not.”
Master’s things were all neatly packed in a suitcase. Because he usually didn’t touch them, he could just take them when he wanted to use them.
“Director Huang’s residential area is a very high-end place, it’s still a long way to go, even if there’s no traffic jam, it would take at least half an hour. Let’s go immediately, I’ll tell you what exactly is on the car.”
When Lao Xu took over the luggage from me, his messy hair had already been neatly combed. He was already wearing his professional attire — — Middle Mountains Robe
Actually, I don’t know what Zhongshan suit is, but it looks very serious.
After locking the door, Lao Xu and I walked out of the alleyway, which had been extremely deserted for many years.
Since it was a weekend, there was no traffic jam at the hour that should have been during the commute to work. Thus, they smoothly arrived at the door of the Lishui Rivers and Mountains.
At the beginning, when Master told me about the Liushui Mountains, the thoughts in my head were still about the same as the buildings in Sunlight Home. Maybe it was just a little bit more beautiful, a little bit bigger.
When I arrived, I looked in from the outside and knew what kind of beautiful building it was. It had nothing to do with the building, but it was all villas!
Because he had contacted them in advance, after Lao Xu got off the car, a man who looked to be in his forties or fifties jogged over with a leather wallet in his crotch, shoes that could even be used as a mirror while rubbing his feet.
I felt goosebumps all over his stomach. What did he need to eat to grow to this size?
“Xu Bian…”
Just as he was speaking halfway, Lao Xu was already looking at him. He hurriedly smiled apologetically: “Aiyo, Elder Xu, look at how inattentive I am. Come, come, please come in.”
Lao Xu shook his head and said: “This old man has not reached the point where I can’t even bring out a single box. Director Huang, just lead the way, and that’s right, Director Huang will introduce you, this is a small scheme that I have accepted recently, you can just call her Xiao Fang, and Xiao Fang will call you Director Huang.”
“Good morning, Director Huang!” Lao Xu told me that from the moment I got off the car, I should pretend to be very obedient and be more sensible.
“Little friend, you seem to be very smart. Elder Xu has real ability. If you follow me, just study hard. You’ll definitely have good prospects in the future.”
“Thank you Director Huang, I understand.”
As the Director Huang was leading the way, we were not stopped by the security guards at the entrance who seemed to be very strong.
“Elder Xu, I really did not expect your sudden visit. From your tone, it seems that you are still very anxious. Did something happen?” On the way, the Director Huang asked Lao Xu.
The current Lao Xu was no longer his usual Lao Xu, his expression was stern, his eyes focused, and a burst of immortal qi on his forehead almost broke out of his brain. After hearing the Director Huang’s question, Lao Xu said in a neither fast nor slow manner, “This Xu had a very short dream during lunch time, and one of the scenes was a fire inside a frozen river. Furthermore, the fire was extremely weak, as if it could be extinguished at any time.”
“Elder Xu, you must be joking again. How could you possibly freeze the fire?”
“Why else would I find the dream strange?” Lao Xu glanced at Director Huang, and continued: “After waking up, this old man calculated, and understood the cause and effect of the matter, but regarding the exact reason, this old man asks that you forgive this old man for not being able to reveal the secrets of heaven. After all, revealing the secrets of heaven is meant to cut off this old man’s lifespan, and this old man, after all, isn’t a god, I still want to live a few more years.”
“Elder Xu, you have a kind heart and have accumulated a lot of virtue. Naturally, you would consider yourself a person who has lived a long life. What are you talking about?” The Director Huang flattered Lao Xu once again, and then said: “Elder Xu, you immediately came to find me. Could it be that this matter isn’t related to me?”
I thought Lao Xu would nod his head and say it.
Who would have thought that Lao Xu actually shook his head and said: “I calculated the result to be two people, and as for which one of my cultivation level is limited, I really cannot calculate. It’s just as Director Huang said, I thought it was the Director Huang, and the other person is my other customer, Chief Hu. Because this event happened too suddenly, this old man expects that something bad to happen within two days or so.”
“It isn’t this old man’s usual style to refuse to save someone when they are on the verge of death, so this old man immediately stood up and was the first to arrive at Director Huang’s place …”
Lao Xu stopped here.
Director Huang asked Lao Xu instead, “Chief Hu? I wonder which CEO Hu you are talking about, Elder Xu? ”
“He is also a businessman like Director Huang. It might be possible for him to know Director Huang and Hu Jianguo.”
I saw the Director Huang’s expression change when he heard the name “Hu Jianguo!” Suddenly, it changed.
