Chapter 9 Entrusted

"Brother Yin Huan, why don't you notify me in advance when you come to my business, so that I can prepare for it!"

As the owner of the merchant, Shang Yan might be in his seventies or eighties, but at this moment, when facing a young man in his twenties, he actually called him a brother. One can imagine the dignity of this person.

The young man named Yin Huan was wearing a dark green robe. He was neither fat nor thin. From his appearance alone, he was quite handsome, but his lips were slightly black and his eyelids were even fainter. There is a layer of black hidden light, which looks quite weird.

The reason why Shang Yan, the owner of the merchant, was so polite to Yin Huan was because he knew that the young man in front of him was from the Jade Pot Sect, and he was an inner disciple of the Poison Line of the Jade Pot Sect, so he couldn't easily offend him.

The Yuhu Sect is one of the most powerful sects in the Xuanyue Empire, and there are many vein refiners in it. This noble profession makes the imperial practitioners dare not easily provoke the Yuhu Sect.

The status of a pulse trainer is noble, but with the development of the Nine Dragons Continent for many years, there are two schools of this profession, one is a pulse trainer who focuses on healing and saving people, and the other is a doctor who focuses on making poison and killing people. The Lord's Poison Master.

Relatively speaking, medical vein masters are more admired by people, but some powerful poison vein masters will make people talk about it easily and dare not provoke them. For example, the Yin Huan in front of him is an intermediate-level Poison Master.

Therefore, even though Yin Huan's energy strength and Shang Yan's pulse strength are both in the first stage of Chongmai, Shang Yan really dare not offend this genius of the Yuhu Sect's poison veins, but wants to try his best to curry favor.

Shang Yan, who was down-faced, said these words, which greatly satisfied Yin Huan's pride, and he smiled and said: "Patriarch Shang Yan, I came to the merchant this time for your sake. , or in other words, for your business, brought a great news!"

"Oh? Brother Yin Huan, please speak up!" Hearing these words, Shang Yan's old eyes couldn't help but brighten up, and those businessmen who heard this remark all turned their heads, wanting to know this "great news" ",what exactly is it?

Yin Huan smiled slightly, enjoying the feeling of being valued by others, and said after a while: "Because of your merchant's filial piety to my Jade Pot Sect over the years, the elders have decided that among the number of outer disciples recruited this year, Give your merchant an extra one!"

"Yin... Brother Yin Huan, are you serious?"

Hearing what Yin Huan said suddenly, even with Shang Yan's depth, he couldn't help but be ecstatic, as if he was dreaming, he stood up and asked in a trembling voice.

Following Shang Yan's trembling voice, a middle-aged man in the first position looked even more excited. He turned his head and asked, "Second brother, tell Huifeng to find his eldest brother, why hasn't he come back yet?"

This person is Shang Huiyu's direct grandfather, Shang Ying, who is also the eldest son of the merchant. He will succeed as the real power figure of the merchant's owner in the future, but even he is a little out of control at this time.

From Shang Ying's point of view, in the entire business, only his amazingly talented and beautiful grandson is eligible to be a disciple of the outer sect of the Yuhu Sect. If this quota is not given to his grandson, it will be unreasonable.

It's just that what Shang Ying didn't realize was that after he said those words, there was an unknown gleam in his second brother's eyes. How could this person not understand what Shang Ying meant?

"Hmph, why does the Jade Pot Sect's quota belong to Shang Huiyu?"

The person in charge of the merchant's second room had a feeling of resentment in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it. He just spread his hands and signaled that he didn't know.

In fact, Shang Ying forgot that it was not his precious grandson Shang Huiyu that Shang Yan asked Shang Huifeng to look for before, but the third-bedroom grandson Yun who lived in a remote courtyard and didn't have much contact with him on weekdays. laugh.

As if sensing the excitement of these merchants, Yin Huan smiled again and said, "Patriarch Shang Yan, even if he is a disciple of the Yuhu Sect, he must not be sloppy at all. It must be the most talented younger generation of your merchants." only people who can get this quota!"

The implication of Yin Huan's words is that this quota is not up to whoever you say it is, and you have to speak according to your true ability. If the time comes to give Yuhuzong a fool, won't it even lose his face?

"That is, that is!"

Shang Yan had come to his senses at this time, saying yes repeatedly, and suddenly saw a figure flashing at the hall door from the corner of his eye, and immediately became happy, and said: "Come, come, Brother Yin Huan, let me introduce you Just a moment, that is the most promising young man of my merchant's younger generation, named Shang Huiyu!"

It turned out that the one who walked in quickly from the entrance of the hall was Shang Huiyu, the grandson of the head of the merchant's house. He had guessed that the coming of the Yuhu Sect might be related to the recruitment of disciples from the outer sect, so even Yun Xiao didn't care about rushing over. He just walked into the hall, when he heard the Patriarch mentioning himself, his pace accelerated a bit.

"Oh? Shang Huiyu?"

Hearing Shang Yan's introduction, Yin Huan turned his eyes, and after seeing it, he nodded slightly and said, "The cultivation in the middle stage of Yinmai Realm is not bad!"

It is true that although this Yin Huan is not much older than Shang Huiyu, he is a genuinely powerful pulse-pulsing person, and he can stand shoulder to shoulder with Shang Yan. With a cultivation level like Shang Huiyu's, he can only slightly surpass him. That's all.

"Huiyu, come here quickly, I have met you, senior brother Yin Huan!" To say that Shang Yan's face is really thick enough, Shang Huiyu has not even left the character of joining the Yuhu sect, so he let him be called "senior brother" , is this trying to make a fait accompli?

Hearing the words, Shang Ying, who was the first to speak, naturally smiled, but the eldest son of the second house turned a little gloomy. Originally, he wanted his grandson, Shang Huifeng, to compete, but now even Shang Yan has identified Shang Huiyu. , he had no choice but to swallow this breath.

However, just when Shang Huiyu was flattered and wanted to bow and salute, Yin Huan waved his hand and said, "I don't care how your business chooses this quota, but it must be the one with the best talent, Patriarch Shang Yan." , I am here this time, actually there is one more thing!"

After the words were finished, Yin Huan turned his eyes, frowned slightly, and said, "The Yun Xiao I asked you to find, why hasn't he come yet?"

After saying this, Shang Yan couldn't help but become a little embarrassed. At this moment, he couldn't say that because he didn't want to see Shang Li's mother and son, he arranged them in an extremely remote courtyard, right?

So Shang Yan could only be anxious in his heart, but asked procrastinatingly: "I'm really sorry for keeping brother Yin Huan waiting for a long time. I don't know why brother Yin Huan is looking for Yun Xiao?"

To be honest, Shang Yan is really not sure about Yin Huan's thoughts. It stands to reason that Yun Xiao has been staying in the merchant for more than ten years, and he rarely even stepped out of the merchant's door. It should have nothing to do with this Yuhu sect It's related.

Yin Huan didn't hold back, and said, "Patriarch Shang Yan doesn't need to make insinuations. I came to look for Yun Xiao this time, and it has nothing to do with my Yuhu Sect!"

Hearing this, Shang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and then Yin Huan asked, "Patriarch Shang Yan, have you ever heard of the Lingyun Sect of the Lingtian Empire?"

"Lingtian Empire? Lingyunzong?"

Hearing Yin Huan mention these two names suddenly, Shang Yan was stunned for a moment, then his face couldn't help changing, suddenly remembered something, and said in a voiceless voice: "Could it be for..."

"That's right, the other thing I came to the merchant this time was that I was entrusted by someone, and it was precisely for the marriage between your merchant and Ling Yunzong!" There was a strange look in Yin Huan's eyes. The light is a bit weird.

As soon as Yin Huan said this, many powerful merchants including Shang Yan no longer had any doubts. They actually had some understanding of this matter, but they were not too clear about it. superior.

Back then, Shang Li's father was an amazingly talented person. His cultivation talent was even much stronger than Shang Ying's two elder brothers, and he was very much loved by Shang Yan.

At that time, Shang Li's father liked to travel the mainland. When he went to the Lingtian Empire, he met the previous suzerain of Lingyunzong.

At that time, Shang Li had grown up, and the Lingyun Sect master also happened to have a son. The meaning of accepting Shang Li's father was to make the two families into a family and increase their relatives.

It's a pity that Sect Master Lingyun's son already has his own heart, and in the end this matter will be over. Shang Li's father can only settle for the next best thing, and make an agreement with Sect Master Lingyun that if Shang Li has a queen, he will marry Sect Master Lingyun. The grandchildren married and made an oath on it.

Even later, there was a prophecy that "Li Feng subdues evil spirits, draws away swords and smiles with red makeup", which was derived from this. for the name.

It's a pity that Shang Li's father passed away early, and no one mentioned this good story later, and Ling Yunzong never sent anyone to the merchant, so the merchants gradually forgot that there was such a marriage.

The overall strength of the Lingtian Empire is not inferior to that of the Xuanyue Empire. The status of the Lingyun Sect in the Lingtian Empire is somewhat similar to the status of the Yuhu Sect in the Xuanyue Empire. They are both giants.

Thinking of a certain possibility, Shang Yan's old face turned pale. Could it be that Ling Yunzong suddenly thought of this marriage and wanted to use Yuhuzong to build a bridge and come to the merchant to propose marriage?

Shang Yan knew in his heart how the merchant had treated Shang Li's father and widow all these years after his father's death. If Yun Xiao was really married to Ling Yunzong, it would be a real turnaround. For the merchant, Whether it's good or bad, I really don't know.

Yin Huan's mind was gloomy, and she could see the deep entanglement in Shang Yan's heart at a glance, and then smiled slightly, and said: "Patriarch Shang Yan, I am entrusted by someone, but I am not here to propose marriage, but to... Retired!"

As soon as Yin Huan's words came out, the tense minds of the merchants were greatly relieved. According to the theory, this is the script that should be there. A bastard who doesn't even know who his father is, how can he climb up to the top? This high branch of Ling Yunzong?
