In Marquis Anqing's view, literati value calligraphy, and great writers especially value calligraphy. Once a piece of paper is published, it is extremely difficult to write again. This is the so-called character of a literati.
If the matter were not too important, Marquis Anqing would not take the risk of offending Xu Yi.
He never thought that Xu Yi did not classify himself as a literati at all, so how could he talk about the character of a literati?
Marquis Anqing only thought that Xu Yi was betraying his huge reputation, and he felt excited and grateful.
There are not many words, Xu Yi wrote it in a moment, Marquis Anqing hid the calligraphy treasure in a place that is precious and important to people, clasped his fists heavily and said, "Brother, I have great righteousness, I have written it down, tell me, I will never hesitate to tell you what I need."
Xu Yi said sternly, "Brother, why do you say this? Why do you and I, brothers, have to be so alienated? It's just a handwriting. Why do I need to thank you so much? If so, I will treat Xu as an outsider. I forgive Xu for not daring to Gao Pan."
Marquis Anqing repeatedly accused me and said, "It's not that I'm being unfaithful, but I feel that I received too many gifts from me, and I feel really uneasy. If I really care about my brother, I must make some demands if I want him to sleep at night."
Xu Yi pondered for a moment, "Well, since I am so proud, if I am pretentious, I will be really out of touch. I must also know that I have a Zimo Xuan under my name, and I also do a small auction business. I am participating in the auction this time. The formation that covers the body with black mist makes me very curious. If possible, I also ask you to transfer one to me. If it is inconvenient, don't be embarrassed."
Marquis Anqing slapped his hand and said, "What's so embarrassing about this? Although this black mist formation is extraordinary, it's not an extraordinary thing. As the leader of the merchant alliance, I still have some power. I'll send someone to Zimo Xuan later."
"I don't know the cost..."
"Why are you talking about money? You are scolding me!"
"If that's the case, I won't dare to take it anymore!"
"Are we brothers or not? I have to be so open-minded!"
"That's it, that's all, I'll bear the consequences."
Xu Yi, whose character was confused from the beginning, didn't know how to communicate with the guy in front of him. He tried to evade it over and over again, and even he himself felt it was extremely hypocritical.
It was easy to agree to accept the black mist array for free. Marquis Anqing was still not satisfied and asked Xu Yi what else he wanted.
It's like a wealthy man who has just established a relationship with a beautiful woman. If he doesn't give away a big ticket, he will feel like a failure.
Xu Yi couldn't bear it anymore, so he had to clasp his fists and say goodbye. Marquis Anqing kept trying, but he kept trying. Helpless, Marquis Anqing quickly caught up and forced himself to Xu Yi stuffed a black gold token into his arms, "That's all, brother, go back and think about it first, think about what you are missing, and then use this token to find me. If you treat me as a brother, don't be polite. I have nothing else, only money."
Xu Yi barely held back the intense discomfort, nodded repeatedly, and ran out the door as if running for his life.
I have seen enthusiastic people, but I have never seen such enthusiastic people. If Marquis Anqing hadn't been a low-cultivation person and behaved the same from the inside out, Xu Yi would really have suspected whether this guy had any evil intentions towards him.
After all these years of being around, he has met countless people, but he has never seen anyone rush to be nice to him.
Putting on his bamboo hat, he walked out of Hall of Ten Thousand Nations in despair, and headed west. After a while, he turned into a tea house called "Gathering of Heroes", went straight to the sky number Upper Rooms, opened the heavy door, and Li Xiuluo sat in front of the window, smoking lightly from two cups of tea.
"Fortunately, I live up to my fate!"
Xu Yi sat down opposite Li Xiuluo. As soon as he thought about it, Thousand Machine Formation and the formation formula fell on the table.
Li Xiuluo didn't check, he just took back Sumeru Ring, cupped his fists and said, "I knew Brother Xu was the trustworthy person, thank you very much Li!"
Xu Yi waved his hand and said, "It's obviously an exchange, why bother saying thank you? By the way, what will Demoness do with it?"
Li Xiuluo said, "Brother Xu Don't worry, it's been taken care of."
"That's very good. I am still in a hurry. I guess Brother Li is also in a hurry to die. Why not drink tea instead of wine and say goodbye."
With that said, Xu Yi picked up the tea, bumped it with Li Xiuluo, drank it all, and got up to go.
But I heard Li Xiuluo say, "Just a reminder to Brother Xu, the matter of Condensing Malice should be done sooner rather than later. Essence of Earth Fire is hard to find. If you let others get there first, it will be too late to regret it. Besides, Condensing Malice is not a trivial matter, and I don't know much about it. Brother Xu You should fully understand it, be properly prepared, and don't be blind. Of course, I believe that with Brother Xu's ability, success will be achieved immediately. Here, Li wishes me my best wishes." After saying that, he picked up the tea and drank it all.
Xu Yi felt warm in his heart, smiled, nodded, and opened the door.
An hour later, Xu Yi stepped onto Green Flat in front of Futuo Mountain cave abode. The green bar table in front of the bluestone house was already filled with a variety of dishes. Yan Zi was standing in front of the fire, cooking a fat lamb that had been roasted to a crisp red color.
Seeing him coming, Yan Zi smiled and said, "Master, please sit down at the table. Dinner will be served soon. There is a pot of Smoke Brocade on the table. Master, first quench your thirst and moisten your throat."
"You are busy, don't worry about me."
Xu Yi smiled and sat down at the table, poured a cup of tea, poured himself a drink, and looked at Futuo Mountain. The sunset was slowly setting, the evening breeze was coming out slowly, the mountains were full of green, swaying with the wind, and in front of the bluestone house, smoke curled up from the kitchen. Sitting there, waiting for food, he was not like a practitioner, he was really a worldly person.
But Xu Yi likes this feeling, this life of flesh and blood, harmonious and light.
Not long after, the bonfire was extinguished, Yan Zi took the knife and the plate, moved the knife like flying, cut out a large plate of meat slices in an instant, and presented it in front of Xu Yi, "Young master, try it, Xifang's Snowflake Mutton, I heard it is excellent, but it is my first time to buy it, I don't know if it suits your taste."
Xu Yi was about to take action when a beeping sound came from Yan Zi's body, but it was cave abode's access control card that rang.
Not long after, Green Flat's protective formation was activated, and Lu Shanren jumped off the Pegasus and stepped onto the ground.
Xu Yi stood up to greet him and said with a smile, "It's better to come early than to come by chance. Senior Brother is lucky."
Unexpectedly, Lu Shanren's face darkened, and he sat down at the stone table without answering.
Xu Yi smiled and said, "Xiao Yan, Senior Brother Lu are here, please give me some good wine."
Soon, two large jars of aged wine Xifeng Wine were put on the table. Xu Yi slowly sifted through two bowls, raised the bowls to toast, and drank it all in one gulp. "Senior Brother, you can see that you are not hungry, but I am. I won't sit here with you, so you can do it yourself." After saying that, he picked up his chopsticks and started to feast.
Just as he was eating heartily and his mouth was full of oil, Lu Shanren slammed the table and stood up, "You kid is not heartless. Why can't you just sit still and have to make some noise? Do you know how much trouble your kid has caused me?"
Xu Yi said, "I know that Senior Brother has something to say, and when he wants to talk about something, he insists on playing it deep. This is not Senior Brother's usual style. Tell me, what's wrong with me?"
Lu Shanren said, "What's the matter with you? At the sorority party, you showed off your brat, and now the entire Shenjing is in a state of turmoil. There are so many big shots waiting to see you. The six departments of officials, punishment, work, etiquette, households, and soldiers, plus Office of Foreign Affairs, Dali Temple, are all rushing to get you to come over."
