All the elders agree with the Tao. Compared with the four elders, they are obviously more inclined to the two elders' self-protection scheme.

"How can you do that!"

The fourth elder clenched his right hand and knocked heavily on the table. He looked at many old people in the living room angrily and scolded:

"You're so greedy and afraid of death. Your opponent just sent a letter, and you're ready to run away. As an old man, you've lost the face of the Xiao family!"

The scolding words of the four elders sounded in the living room, and the faces of the people were different.

There was hesitation, there was indifference, and a trace of resentment flashed through the bottom of my eyes.

At this time, the second Elder spoke again. His tone was as gentle as a breeze, which made people feel good.

"No, the four elders misunderstood."

The second elder's name is Xiao Lei. He is thin and pale, but he always speaks with a soft temperament, which makes people feel at ease.

"If there were a way to preserve the property of the Xiao family, I would do it even if I tried my best."

The second elder looked solemn and stirring, with a trace of helplessness on his face.

"However, Zhang Yi's child has broken through the territory after all, and we have no chance of winning."

"If you fight hard, it's just hitting the stone with an egg, which will only make the people in the family die in vain. I can't bear to make such a bad decision."

"I know it's a great shame for the Xiao family. It's so easy to give up the Xiao family's business for many years. We are ashamed of the expectations of our disciples."

"However, as long as the people of the Xiao family are still there, there is still hope for everything, but if there is no one in the Xiao family, it will really be over."

"Since I put forward this proposal, I am willing to bear all the curses in the future." after that, the two elders bowed their heads and felt dejected.

"Two elders, this is really for the sake of the family. Unlike some people, they only care about their own ideas and don't stand in the position of the family at all."

"I admire the second elder!"

……

"All right." Xiao Jie could not help yelling, "before the enemy came, he made a mess."

Everyone bowed in shame.

Xiao Jie looked at the second elder and said, "just do what the second elder said."

"Although it appears to be an invitation, in fact we have no choice at all."

"What Zhangjia wants is the business channel of our Xiao family in rock city for many years."

"If he wants it, give it to them."

"House master." the four elders couldn't help shouting.

Xiao Jie looked at the four elders, shook his head and said, "the four elders don't have to persuade me. The two elders said well. If you keep the green mountain, you're not afraid of no firewood."

"Xiao family's talents are the most important. Well, everyone step down." Xiao Jie waved and said sadly.

When leaving, the two elders lowered their heads and flashed a shadow in their eyes.

……

When the Xiao family received the envelope, the Lin family also received the envelope. Not surprisingly, they also fell into a storm of discussion.

……

Zhangjia, at this time and the two different scenes, is in a carnival.

Darkness breeds when night falls.

Just then, someone knocked on Zhang Yi's door.

"Speak." Zhang Yi's low voice came from the door.

"Young master, someone wants to see you. They say they have something to tell the young master about the Xiao family. Now they have temporarily arranged him to wait in the side yard." the guard said respectfully.

"Oh?"

"Who is he? What identity?" Zhang Yi asked.

The guard replied, "the man was dressed in black and had a black scarf on his face. His subordinates couldn't recognize him. He didn't want to talk more. He just said he wanted you to go there."

There was a moment of silence in the door. Then with a squeak, Zhang Yi came out and looked at the guard and said, "lead the way."

"Yes, young master, please follow me."

……

After walking for a few minutes, Zhang Yi came to the side yard.

Seeing a man dressed in black, a penetrating eye threw it away. Suddenly, Zhang Yi knew the identity of the man in front of him.

Xiao Lei, the second elder of the Xiao family, how could he come here? Seeing that the Xiao family is gone, did he come to take refuge in Zhang Jia?

Zhang Yi thought, quietly came to the man and said without fluctuation.

"Your Excellency came to see me, but he refused to show his true face. It's too insincere."

The man raised his head and explained, "I'm not sincere, but my identity is more sensitive..." the man glanced at the guard not far from the station.

Zhang Yi knew it clearly and waved his right hand. After the guard left, Zhang Yi said, "would you like to show your true face now?"

"That's nature," said the man, taking off the black towel covering his face.

It was a pale face with deep eyes.

Xiao Lei, the second elder of the Xiao family.

Zhang Yi looked indifferent. He asked in a playful tone.

"I have sent a letter to both of you. You should have read all the contents."

"The second elder of the Tangtang Xiao family came to me at this time. It's easy to make some bad associations."

Xiao Lei's face remained unchanged and said in his usual tone: "the childe is already a martial artist in the land. Compared with it, the Xiao family is like an egg hitting a stone. I'm just for a good place for myself."

"Oh?"

"Interesting, let's hear it." Zhang Yi picked his eyebrows, a little curious.

Zhang Yi motioned Xiao Lei to sit down.

After Xiao Lei sat down, he continued, "I want to make a deal with you."

"Transaction?"

Zhang Yi looked at Xiao Lei and said with a smile, "in three days, the things of the Xiao family will be mine. What else can you trade?"

Xiao Lei's face remained unchanged, but said calmly, "childe, to be honest, the Xiao family has passed a resolution and is willing to give up all income channels of rock city. Just ask the childe to let go of the Xiao family so that we can find another place."

Zhang Yi nodded and said naturally, "it's a smart decision that saves me."

Xiao Lei continued, "but if this is the case, the childe only gets some resources, but the most precious thing of the Xiao family can't get it."

With that, Xiao Lei looked up at Zhang Yi with desire surging in his eyes.

"And this is my bargaining chip."

Zhang Yi nodded and couldn't see the fluctuation in his face. "It sounds good."

Seeing Zhang Yi's expressionless face, Xiao Lei was a little unsure of the other party. He hesitated for a moment and said.

"About ten years ago, the Xiao family once got a treasure in a strange place."

"What treasure is it?" Zhang Yi was a little interested and asked.

"Heaven and soul jade."

"Tian Xinyu? You won't lie to me," Zhang Yi asked.

"Young master Zhang, how dare I deceive you."

Xiao Lei said, "I came here alone. It can be said that I gave my life to you. How could I lie to you? I swear, everything I said is true."

Zhang Yi sneered: "come on, a betrayer of the family, your oath is not convincing."

"But..." Zhang Yi turned his words and then said, "tianxinxin jade is really good for my cultivation, so I can give you a chance."

"Now you can say the terms of the deal you want to talk to me."

Xiao Lei said without hesitation, "after you receive all kinds of resources from the Xiao family, I want half of them."

Zhang Yi narrowed his eyes and pulled an arc from the corner of his mouth. "It's really a lion's big mouth, but I can accept it."

"First bring the Tianxin Lingyu to me, and our subsequent transaction will take effect."

"No." Xiao Lei frowned.

"I'll give you the tianxinxin jade first. What if you repent? You're a master of the earth. If you turn your face and don't recognize people after you get something, no one can do it."

Xiao Lei said and put forward his own suggestions.

"When we both succeed, you first give me the agreed 50% resources, then I give you the tianxinxin jade, and finally you give me the remaining 50% resources."

Zhang Yi nodded, "this is a good proposal."

Xiao Lei showed a smile on his face, but it solidified immediately.

"But I refuse," Zhang Yi said calmly.

Where did Xiao Lei have such an experience? He was stunned on the spot. Fortunately, his city was quite deep and recovered in the twinkling of an eye.

Xiao Lei forced out a smile. "Why? I think this proposal is a very fair and acceptable choice for you and me."

"Are you afraid that I won't be trusted? Take the 50% resources and leave directly?" he thought about the reason.

"You are a great master in the land, but I am just a xuanjing warrior. I'm just trying to protect myself.

"Are you afraid I'll be careful? It's even more impossible unless I want to spend my life in fear."

Zhang Yi shook his head. "It's not these reasons."

"What's the reason?" Xiao Lei asked.

"Well, I'm in a good mood. Let me tell you." Zhang Yi looked at each other and spoke slowly.

"Your proposal just now is indeed a more fair choice, but do you think you are qualified to talk about justice with me?"

Xiao Lei's face was embarrassed and his tone was angry. He asked, "what does young master Zhang mean by this?"

"According to the original meaning of this sentence, you are just a xuanjing warrior. What qualifications do you have to ask me for fairness? This is one of them."

"Second, you think highly of the precious degree of tianxinxin jade. Yes, I don't deny that tianxinxin jade is really helpful for my cultivation, but it's not unacceptable for me to lose it."

"Third, remember, you asked me."

"You can only come to me, but I may not be able to find you. You see, now I know the existence of tianxinxin jade. I can ask the Xiao family directly in three days. Why have to go through your hand."

"It's just that you are the first person to tell me the news. I'll give you a chance."

"Remember, the decision is in my hands."

Speaking of this, Zhang Yi took a sip of tea and said faintly without lifting his eyes: "go and send tianxinxin jade before the meeting in the central square of the city. I can still fulfill 50% of Xiao's resources you asked for."

Xiao Lei's face was livid. Without saying a word, he got up slowly, saluted Zhang Yi, turned and left.

Darkness gradually drowned his figure.

"Hum." Zhang Yi sneered and stretched.

"It's a great disaster. They fly separately. The ancients sincerely don't deceive me." Zhang Yi looked relaxed.

"At the critical moment, all kinds of demons and ghosts come out. I'd better go to the theatre at ease."

......

Two days later, in a pub.

"Hey, did you hear about the Xiao family leader?"

"Of course, now no one in the whole rock city doesn't know."

"Hey, hey, this is the hottest news I've ever heard!"

Someone whispered and talked constantly. What was discussed was what had happened before. The Xiao family leader died suddenly!

As one of the three families in Yanshan City, the leader of Xiao family is undoubtedly one of the most important people in Yanshan city. In the eyes of the people in the city, he is undoubtedly an almost divine existence.

However, such a person suddenly died in the hall of the Xiao family yesterday. In full view of the public, he vomited black blood and died.

"You say, who did the Xiao family master offend? He was so cruel."

"Can it be made by Zhang Jia? Their two families have always been at odds."

"It's really possible. I heard that young master Zhang Jia and Zhang Shi just returned to rock city a few days ago. As a result, the owner of the Xiao family died."

"Shh! You can't talk nonsense." someone hurriedly reminded me. "This is rock city."

.......

There was much discussion in the tavern, but in another place, they sat opposite each other and tasted small wine. It was very pleasant.

"Young master Zhang, this is Tianxin Lingyu."

Xiao Lei takes out a jade box, puts it on the table and pushes it to Zhang Yi.

"A human life." Zhang Yi sighed. He put his palm on the jade box and slid it to himself.

Zhang Yi opened the jade box and suddenly a warm aura fluctuated out. A transparent circular treasure with red color appeared in front of Zhang Yi.

The richness of that aura turned into fog. With Zhang Yi's breath, the white fog entered Zhang Yi's body, swam along the meridians to the eight bones of his limbs, and finally entered Dantian.

Zhang Yi only felt comfortable, like his body was soaked in a hot spring.

Tianxin jade is a unique treasure.

It is said that if there is a powerful monster killing blood battlefield, by chance, its original life essence blood is integrated into the spirit stone. After being buried in a place with strong aura for thousands of years, it may mutate into a heavenly heart spirit jade.

Tianxinxin jade contains a trace of the life essence of a powerful monster. If it is worn for a long time, it will warm and nourish the body.

And if you are a martial artist who cultivates the body, you can use the pill to absorb a trace of demon and beast essence blood in the heavenly soul jade to strengthen your physical body.

Zhang Yi looked at tianxinyu in front of him, nodded with satisfaction, and said to Xiao Lei, "well done."

"Young master Zhang, what you promised me..."

Xiao Lei mentioned it nervously. Now tianxinyu is in the other party's hand, and his own life is in Zhang Yi's mind. For him, it's a big bet that the young master of Zhang Jia is a warrior who keeps his promise.

Poisoned Xiao Jie. Now he has no place to live in the Xiao family. If Zhang Yi repents, he can be said to be finished.

"I am a man who keeps my promise. Now that you have done it, I will naturally do what I promised you."

Zhang Yi looked at Xiao Lei in front of him and said so.
