Master of Beasts

The morning sun shone into the huge courtyard, passed through the dense branches and leaves, scattered on the ground in pieces, and outside the courtyard, there were people's shadows flickering, and from time to time there were carriages full of goods, rolled up Dust filled the sky and drove off into the distance.

"Cousin, are you up yet?"

The girl's ethereal voice sounded in the courtyard, and then passed through the wooden window and entered the room.

Eyes slowly opened, Henry Zhang let out a long breath, slapped Chi Yan who was sleeping soundly on his chest, and then opened the door sleepily.

Outside the door, there was naturally Xiao Qing with green vines.

"What's the matter?" Henry Zhang asked with some surprise.

"Cousin, have you heard that the Xiao family invited an alchemist last night?" Xiao Qing's pretty cheeks were obviously full of excitement.

"Alchemist?" Henry Zhang looked at Xiao Qing in disbelief, if he hadn't known last night that he also had the possibility of becoming an alchemist, I'm afraid he would be even more shocked now.

After all, alchemists are the most noble existence no matter where they are.

"That's right, the Second Elder paid a lot of money to invite him here. It seems to be called Fu Yan." Xiao Qing's bright eyes flickered slightly, and said.

Fu Yan?

Hearing this name, Henry Zhang not only did not have the slightest joy, but frowned slightly. Fu Yan's reputation is not good in Guyang City, especially his arrogant character, which can easily arouse people's disgust. .

"Then Fu Yan, come to Xiao's house now?" Henry Zhang suddenly looked at Xiao Qing.

"Well, in this way, we don't have to worry about the liquid medicine we use for cultivation in the future." Xiao Qing was rather excited. Having an alchemist in the family is a great benefit for the juniors.

Gently nodding his head, Henry Zhang woke up Chi Yan, who was still sleeping soundly, and walked towards the living room with Xiao Qing, which is usually where the Xiao family entertains distinguished guests.

Outside the welcoming living room, which was usually sparsely populated, was surrounded by a large number of members of the Xiao family at this time. Their gazes, with some enthusiasm and curiosity, turned to the white-robed figure in the welcoming living room.

The person in the white robe was obviously an old man. Facing the scrutiny of many eyes, his eyes remained indifferent, as if everything that happened around him had nothing to do with him.

"A country bumpkin who has never seen the world." Beside the old man, there was a young man standing, looking at the figure outside the door, curling his lips in disdain.

"Isn't that the Bai family?" Henry Zhang's eyes narrowed slightly, he knew this young man, he was Bai Li, the grandson of Bai Shan, not long ago, he saw the portraits of the main members of the Bai family in Xiao Lie's study.

On the seat, Fu Yan raised his eyelids carelessly, and said softly: "Originally, your Xiao family would not please me, but since my disciple has come out to speak, it is not a bad idea to be your offering, but For the remuneration, I hope the Xiao family will be able to pay it off on time."

"That's natural." Hearing this, Xiao He's eyes flashed with joy, and he said: "As long as you are willing to make a move, the remuneration can be discussed."

During the conversation between the two, Bai Li glanced contemptuously at the faces of the members of the Xiao family in turn, and finally, suddenly focused on Xiao Qing's pretty face, with a hint of surprise flooding his face.

"I didn't expect this little Xiao family to have such a beauty. It seems that this trip was not in vain." The corner of Bai Li's mouth raised a slight arc, and the undisguised aggressive gaze made people Xiao Qing felt quite uncomfortable.

The pupils flickered slightly, Henry Zhang sneered in his heart, and stepped in front of Xiao Qing.

"Who are you?" The line of sight was suddenly disturbed, and a layer of haze was cast over Bai Li's face.

"Oh, I see, isn't this Xiao Yang, the young patriarch of the Xiao family?" Bai Li nodded suddenly, and said with a smile, "Sure enough, it's just as useless as Brother Bai Ming said, the flame fox, even in our Bai family Even the inferior servants look down on you, but I didn't expect you to be like a treasure,

Keep it with you at all times. "

After the words fell, Xiao Qing's face turned cold almost instantly. Just as she was about to speak, Henry Zhang suddenly took a step forward, and said lightly: "The person looks good, but his mouth smells bad. I really don't know, Bai Are the younger generations in the family as uneducated as you?"

"You want to die?" The smile on Bai Li's face froze little by little, and his voice became extremely cold.

"Young people are full of anger." Fu Yan, who had been sitting on the chair with no expression, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and then spit it out suddenly, frowning: "What kind of broken tea is this? Do people drink it!"

"It's just a small family. They may not even have enough to eat. It's rare and precious for them to be able to drink tea." Bai Li sneered, with a slight sarcasm in his voice.

Seeing this scene, Henry Zhang's heart gradually turned cold. He knew how the Xiao family could suddenly invite an alchemist. Now he has fully understood that Fu Yan is just the person the Bai family hired to humiliate the Xiao family. Ming, that's really cruel. I really don't know what kind of gap existed between the Bai family and the Xiao family in the past, and it turned into this situation today.

The tea stains on the ground were still wet, but the expressions of everyone in the Xiao family became extremely ugly. Fu Yan's actions undoubtedly slapped each of them hard on the face.

"Although the Xiao family's tea is not good, not everyone can vomit it. Mr. Fu, there are people outside the world, and there is a sky beyond the sky. Although alchemists are precious, there is not only one in the huge ancient Yang City." Henry Zhang lightly Looking at Fu Yan with a smile, since he knew that the other party was an enemy rather than a friend, he didn't need to show any affection.

As soon as the voice fell, the field fell silent instantly, and everyone stared blankly at Henry Zhang. This guy actually provoked an alchemist in public? Although the provocation didn't start with him.

"It's true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers." There was no sign of anger on Fu Yan's face, he just shook his head and smiled. Henry Zhang's words obviously did not stir up any waves in his heart, and he just listened as a joke. In Guyang City, besides him, who else can the Xiao family invite?

"Xiao Yang, go down!" The second elder, Xiao He, gave a wry smile in his heart. Although he was also very disgusted with Fu Yan, the alchemist was an alchemist after all, and his status was detached. Without this layer of skin, he would have been against Fu Yan Fu Yan, who turned his face off, was torn to pieces.

"It's ridiculous that a small spiritual disciple dares to speak nonsense here." Seeing Henry Zhang turn around, Bai Li's sarcasm sounded in the field.

The moment Bai Li's voice fell, Henry Zhang's footsteps suddenly stopped, and then he turned around slowly, and a voice without the slightest emotion came out of his mouth slowly.

"You're really annoying. In the future, when you meet me at Xiao's house, you'd better take a detour. Otherwise, I might lose control and ask someone to kill you."

The moment Henry Zhang's voice fell, the younger generation of the Xiao family began to stir up, and more than a dozen figures with malicious intentions gradually rushed towards Bai Li. The battle made the latter's complexion quite ugly.

"Remember, the surname of this land is Xiao, not Bai." After speaking, Henry Zhang stopped talking nonsense, turned and left.

"Henry Zhang, you are fine, I hope there are so many people around you every day."

Bai Li stared at Henry Zhang's back with resentment, a gloomy look flashed across his pupils.
