Chapter 454(1/3)
If I were a devil
Author: Shuidao Bugu
Just after breaking through the foundation building, Zhou Chengyong's cultivation level was not very stable yet. After more than ten days of seclusion, Zhou Chengyong just came out of seclusion.
After leaving seclusion, a male servant helped Zhou Chengyong bathe and change clothes.
Although it was very uncomfortable to be served by a male servant, Zhou Chengyong had to endure it.
He was married into the Hu family, and the male servant was arranged by Hu Jianing. As the saying goes, people have to bow their heads under the eaves.
"Master, you are so handsome today!"
After Zhou Chengyong finished taking a bath, the valet praised him: "I have never seen a more handsome man than the young master!"
Zhou Chengyong smiled lightly. He had always been very satisfied with his face, so he didn't think this was a good thing.
"Master, today I will invite you to the front hall for dinner. Madam has already ordered the kitchen to prepare dinner."
Zhou Chengyong nodded, put on his shoes, socks and outer robe and walked out.
The valet followed Zhou Chengyong to the front hall of the Hu family's main house, where there were five tables and chairs, each of which looked magnificent and luxurious.
There are four people sitting on each of the four tables and chairs.
The head of the Hu family, Hu Haifeng, the patriarch's wife Li Shi, the young master Hu Jiading and Hu Jianing.
The last empty seat was his own, but Zhou Chengyong couldn't sit on it directly, he had to say hello.
This is called etiquette!
The essence of etiquette is obedience.
"Dad..." Zhou Chengyong first saluted Hu Haifeng.
Hu Haifeng nodded with satisfaction.
The person in front of me is the head of the Zhou family. Now he calls him dad, which is enough to comfort the ancestors of the Hu family.
"mother."
Zhou Chengyong saluted a beautiful middle-aged woman, Mrs. Li from the Hu family.
Mrs. Li nodded and smiled: "My son has successfully advanced to Foundation Establishment. He is really capable and deserves a good reward."
"Thank you, mother." Zhou Chengyong said.
"Brother." Zhou Chengyong saluted a young man.
Hu Jianing's brother Hu Jiading, a famous disciple of the Divine Sword Sect, is now in the middle stage of foundation building. According to his cultivation speed and the amazing combat power he has shown in the past, there is a high probability that he will be able to form a golden elixir. After forming the elixir, he will be afraid
He is another stern and powerful person.
"My dear brother, there is no need to be so polite. Please sit down quickly!"
"Thank you, brother."
Zhou Chengyong slightly cupped his hands and sat down on the vacant chair next to his wife.
"Chengyong, it's just the right time for you to come out of seclusion this time. Now Shenjianmen sells three spiritual material veins. My Hu family must buy one, but there are still some spiritual stones missing. What do you think we should do?" Hu Haifeng spat out words like this.
Like bandits.
Zhou Chengyong clenched his fists and could only force out a smile and asked: "I wonder how many spiritual stones dad still lacks?"
"There is still a shortage of five million spiritual stones." Hu Haifeng said loudly.
"Five million spiritual stones!" After Zhou Chengyong heard this, his heart beat so hard that it almost jumped out of his throat.
Five million!
What a huge fortune that is!
Moreover, even if the entire Zhou family is sold, it cannot be exchanged for five million!
According to Zhou Chengyong's estimation, even if the Zhou family sells all the properties in Tianji City, they will probably be able to barely scrape together five million spiritual stones. If all of them are taken out, the Zhou family will definitely be severely injured, and may even be in danger of falling apart.
Seeing Zhou Chengyong's silence, Hu Haifeng burst out laughing: "Chengyong, don't misunderstand me. I just borrowed it and will pay it back in the future."
"Dad, I really can't afford this money!"
"Can't you take it out?" Hu Haifeng raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly: "Since you have married into the Hu family, you should fulfill your obligations as a husband!"
"You don't have to worry that our Hu family will ask you for five million in vain. Our Hu family is willing to use the family property as a mortgage. This matter can go through the justice of the Shenjianmen Auditorium and will never be repudiated."
"If my father's words are serious, the child will definitely persuade my mother and work hard to facilitate this matter."
"Ah, very good."
…
Zhoujiapu.
"Twenty years! Twenty years! The Xuanyang Sect's treasure house is not yet in your hands. How on earth did you get away with it?" Zhao Suya roared loudly at Liu Heng.
Liu Heng frowned and explained: "The treasury of the Xuanyang Sect has always been in charge of the senior brother. I am only responsible for distributing the monthly salary to the disciples."
"I thought he was lying in bed and didn't care about anything, but I didn't expect that he still firmly controls the Xuanyang Sect. It's really disgusting!" Zhao Suya became more and more excited as she spoke.
"Go and find out for me the specific location of the Xuanyang Sect's treasure house."
"Isn't the treasure house in Yunxiao Mansion?" Liu Heng said.
"It can't be Yunxiao Mansion! Yunxiao Mansion only has hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones, which is only enough to provide monthly salary. The treasures Hou Dongsheng has rewarded to the younger generations of Xuanyang Sect over the years are less than a million in spiritual stones."
"That's right! Senior brother does have his own secret treasure house, but it is not the Xuanyang Sect's treasure house. It is senior brother's own treasure house. What does it have to do with you?" Liu Heng also roared.
"You! Liu Heng, don't forget, if it weren't for me, your Xuanyang Sect would have no place to stand." Zhao Suya roared angrily.
"Hmph, if it weren't for our Xuanyang Sect, your Zhou family would have been annexed long ago." Liu Heng snorted coldly.
"You..." Zhao Suya was furious, rolled her eyes, and then calmed down. After all, getting angry like a shrew can't solve any problems.
"Liu Lang... you blame me for this matter. If I hadn't insisted on marrying you, I'm afraid you wouldn't have suffered so much humiliation. In fact, if the Zhou family didn't trust you, you should be the head of the Zhou family.
"
After hearing this, Liu Heng's eyes softened and he looked at the beautiful woman who still had charm in front of him.
"Madam...how many spiritual stones are left?"
Zhao Suya rested her head on Liu Heng's shoulder and said softly: "There are still eight million spiritual stones left."
"Madam, don't worry... I'll leave this matter to my husband." Liu Heng nodded and agreed, his eyes filled with determination.
The next day.
Tianji City.
Qinglong Chamber of Commerce.
The branch treasurer of the Chamber of Commerce warmly received Xuanyang Sect leader Liu Heng.
"Liu said it bluntly. This time he came to the Chamber of Commerce hoping to borrow one million spiritual stones." Liu Heng said with a smile.
"Oh... One million spiritual stones is not a small amount. Does Liu Daoyou have anything to pledge?" the shopkeeper asked.
"All Xuanyang Sect's stores are leased and have no fixed property." Liu Heng said with a frown.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha with you.
"roll!"
White Tiger Chamber of Commerce.
The branch treasurer of the Chamber of Commerce directly refused to see Liu Heng.
When the waiter in the shop saw Liu Heng, he said politely: "Our chamber of commerce has a small profit margin and we really can't do such a big business. Please come back!"
"The small chamber of commerce takes over the helm, but you don't see me? I am the head of the Xuanyang Sect." Liu Heng angrily scolded.
"Huh, who cares about your identity? Is it possible that you want to rob? Don't forget, this is Tianji City!" the waiter in the shop said arrogantly.
"snort!"
Liu Heng snorted and walked away.
Next, Liu Hang went to the Zhuque Chamber of Commerce, the Xuanwu Chamber of Commerce, the Qianlong Chamber of Commerce... and the Tongbao Chamber of Commerce.
I have visited all nine major chambers of commerce, but it is absolutely impossible without a mortgage.
In desperation, Liu Heng had no choice but to go back to find someone to discuss, first with his wife Zhao Suya.
"Are you a man after all? You can't even get eight million spiritual stones together!?"
"How can other men be as cowardly as you?"
"Marrying a loser like you! It's really blinding my eyes in vain!"
"Go to your senior brother. The treasure he rewarded Zhou Yuanzhi alone is no less than 500,000 spiritual stones. Go and beg him!"
"He is much more capable than you."
"Coward!"
