Chapter 40 The world has never been so simple
Yun Qing didn't know what the pill was made of, and what it would be useful after taking it, but just as Yun Qing was about to take it out of her pocket and show it to Duan Jiang.
Then the four major families who had been waiting to talk to Duan Jiang before finally couldn't help it, and rushed up and said with a smile to Duan Jiang:
"Elder Duan, let's go back and have a meal while talking. It's getting late, so we have also set up a welcoming banquet for Elder Duan. In the next few days, Elder Duan will live in the courtyard of our four major families."
Duan Jiang, who was suddenly interrupted, frowned a little dissatisfied, and then frowned and waved his hand:
"I'm here for business, so I'm going to live in the city lord's mansion and your private residence. What's going on?"
"I know what you are trying to do, but I warn you that although Donghua Pavilion has interests with you, those are just ordinary transactions. Donghua Pavilion is not your backer, and you are not allowed to take the name of Donghua Pavilion and do evil!"
When Duan Jiang scolded him, the people from the four major families nodded with embarrassment, and did not dare to say anything wrong to Duan Jiang. They could only nod and smile.
Yun Qing looked at Duan Jiang and was a little surprised. It seemed that Duan Jiang was really a bit upright.
Yun Qing had a little bit of affection for this old man. Then Duan Jiang didn't want to pay attention to the people of these four major families, but immediately turned to look at Ye Lan on the side and said:
"City Lord Ye, let's go back to the City Lord's Mansion first."
Ye Lan nodded quickly and then led the way in front, while Duan Jiang and others rode a white Pegasus behind.
When passing by those welcoming people, Yun Qing found that these people should not have been found by the four major families, because there were many children here, and they were also smiling and waving colorful flags, sincerely welcoming the people from Donghua Pavilion.
If it is an actor found by the four major families, they will definitely not bring their children together.
Soon after following Ye Lan and the people from Donghua Pavilion came to the city lord's mansion here, Duan Jiang rode on a white horse, looking at the city lord's mansion that didn't light up, and weeds that were born on the roadside that no one cared about.
Duan Jiang shook his head helplessly and said:
"I have heard that your life is not easy, but I didn't expect that your life has reached such a land."
Ye Lan, who was walking in front, smiled helplessly and did not speak.
After getting off the horse, Duan Jiang walked towards the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion like Ye Lan, and said slightly:
"After that being said, you came from the Flame Palace, are you?"
Ye Lan turned to look at Duan Jiang and nodded:
"Yes."
Duan Jiang frowned slightly and said:
"How could the people from the Flame Palace be assigned to such a place as the city lord? Don't the people from the Flame Palace usually join the dynasty guards directly? Why did you offend people in such a place?
Ye Lan grinned and said:
"No, I applied to the superiors to be the lord of the city in the peripheral city."
Duan Jiang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head slightly and said:
"I know what you want to do. To be honest, I admire you very much, but I personally advise you to forget it, don't do useless work, and don't waste your chances. The people in the Flame Palace are all real heroes. You should make achievements outside the pass, rather than burying them in such places."
"If it's a problem, please ask someone to leave this place."
Ye Lan smiled and didn't say anything, but everyone understood Ye Lan's answer.
Looking at Ye Lan's appearance, Duan Jiang was not a nosy person. In the end, he just sighed slightly, shook his head, and didn't say much.
After returning to the hall, Ye Lan wanted to pour water for Duan Jiang, but Duan Jiang waved his hands repeatedly:
"Lord Ye, don't, you are from the Flame Palace. If you pour water for me, isn't this going to ruin my husband? I'll just do it myself."
After Duan Jiang finished speaking, the disciples from Donghua Pavilion next to him immediately took the kettle from Ye Lan's hand.
As for Ye Lan's words, she touched the back of her head and smiled:
"No matter what, you are a senior, and I am a junior, so it should be."
Although Duan Jiang waved his hand quickly when he heard Ye Lan's words and said he didn't dare to take it, Yun Qing, who was standing beside him, could still see that Duan Jiang was still very happy. After all, who wouldn't want to listen to good things?
After everyone sat down, Duan Jiang also said seriously:
"Lord Ye, everyone is ready to go, so I said straight to the point. I have two purposes for this trip. One is to help you see the situation in Guye City. There are unsafe places, but I can come to Guye City two or three times a year. I know this in my heart that Guye City is very safe."
"The second point is that in seven days, I will participate in the annual elite competition in Guye City and attend as a guest. The rest will be fine. I will stay here all these days. Please trouble Lord Ye."
Ye Lan sat aside and nodded repeatedly. At this moment, a disciple from Donghua Pavilion walked into the hall, bowed to Duan Jiang, and said respectfully:
"Elder, the four major families gave a letter and a space ring."
After saying that, the disciple handed all the envelope and space ring to Duan Jiang.
Yun Qing sat opposite him, looking at the letter and the space ring, and instantly knew what was inside.
The things inside are definitely the same as those in the space ring in Taiyi before.
If these four major families are really rich, it is less than three hours after Yun Qing robbed this Yi Gang, but these four major families took out so many things again.
After Duan Jiang looked at the letter a little, he looked at the disciple of Donghua Pavilion in front of him and nodded:
"Tell the people from the four major families that you are sure."
After the disciple left, Duan Jiang packed up all the things. Ye Lan, who was standing beside him, suddenly looked at Duan Jiang and said:
"Senior, can Donghua Pavilion not provide pills to the four major families?"
Ye Lan also knew what the space ring and letter were. After all, Ye Lan read the letter with Yun Qing.
As for Ye Lan's words, Duan Jiang shook his head very simply and said:
"Can't."
Ye Lan was a little anxious, but Duan Jiang waved his hand and directly interrupted Ye Lan what he was going to say next, continuing:
"I know what you want to say, what is going on in Guye City, what the four major families do on weekdays. I have been here for nearly thirty years. I know better than you, but this world has never been as simple as winning."
"I will tell you one thing, the simplest example is that the four major families need Donghua Pavilion, but why doesn't Donghua Pavilion also need the four major families?"
"The four major families are the richest forces here. They can get a lot of natural treasures and rare combat skills. It is most cost-effective to make a deal with them. Donghua Pavilion has nearly 3,000 disciples. Doesn't that person need all kinds of natural treasures and combat skills to become stronger?"
"If Donghua Pavilion does not trade with the four major families, then who should trade with? Without the treasures offered by the four major families, how can Donghua Pavilion maintain its dominant position in this area?!"
"This world has never been that simple!"
