C167 Old Man Hong
C167 Old Man Hong
"What I want to be, you can't stop it. Let the person in charge of this place come out and speak!" Ye Bufan had already seen that the old man was only at the Ninth Rank of Qi Stage. If he was in the Wanfeng Country, he could still be considered an expert. However, in this place, it was impossible for him to become the person in charge.
"Please wait a moment!" After saying that, the old man respectfully bowed to Ye Bufan and left.
Not long later, a middle-aged man walked in. He looked like he was over forty years old. He seemed to be in high spirits, and his gorgeous brocade robe exuded the aura of wealth. Although Ye Bufan didn't know what method he had used to conceal his cultivation base, he could still tell that the man was at the Sixth Rank of Spirit Stage using the Heavenly Curtain Spell. He guessed that this should be the true master!
The man had a gentle smile on his face. He cupped his fists and said, "May I know what this brother wants?"
"There is a piece of family heirloom jade that I would like to ask you to appraise it!" After saying that, Ye Bufan handed over the jade pendant that he had prepared earlier.
Looking at the jade pendant in Ye Bufan's hand, the face of the newcomer immediately twitched a little. After carefully examining the jade pendant in his hand, he immediately kneeled on the ground. He lifted the jade pendant high above his head with both hands, "Xuan Group, Weih Xuankong greets the Law Enforcement Elder!"
Ye Bufan was still stunned by Weih Xuankong's reaction. He never thought that the broken jade pendant Ao Changkong gave him would have such great power. Sixth Rank of Spirit Stage, kneel whenever you want! If he wanted to go to a place like Wanfeng Country, he would have to kneel. He would only kneel to someone else!
Ye Bufan put away the jade pendant and helped Weih Xuankong up at the same time. He said, "No need for formalities, no need for formalities!" He saw that Weih Xuankong's eyes were slightly red.
"Thank you, elder!" Weih Xuankong still bowed and did not dare to stand up straight. Although Ye Bufan looked too old, Weih Xuankong did not dare to doubt him.
"Sit down and talk!" After Ye Bufan asked Weih Xuankong to sit down, he thought about the attitude of the leaders in his previous life when they wanted his subordinates to do things. He immediately said with concern, "You have been here for a few years, haven't you?"
Weih Xuankong immediately stood up, "Replying to the elder, this subordinate has been in Starmoon City for 30 years and 6 months!"
"Sit down and talk, sit down and talk!" Ye Bufan raised his hand to signal, "You have not left all these years?"
It was originally a sentence from a superior who cared about his subordinate's private life, but it sounded like a bolt of lightning to Weih Xuankong's ears. What did Ye Bufan's jade pendant represent? Law Enforcement Elder!
He quickly stood up again, "Replying to Elder, for the past thirty years, this subordinate has been managing this place. I dare not slack off at all. Elder, please investigate clearly!"
Seeing Wei Changkong's reaction, Ye Bufan knew that he had misunderstood his meaning. He immediately smiled and said, "Don't misunderstand. I was just casually asking. Today, I am only passing by and have no other intentions!"
Weih Xuankong had been managing the pawnshop as a businessman all these years. How could he not understand what Ye Bufan meant? Although he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, he still did not dare to be too careless.
"Isn't the patriarch of Huang family the only Sixth Rank of Spirit Stage? Why do I see that there are two Sixth Rank of Spirit Stage Venerables hiding in the north and south gates?" Ye Bufan saw Weih Xuankong's submissive attitude and asked what he was thinking.
Weih Xuankong's heart, which had just been relieved, was lifted again. He was wondering why this Law Enforcement Elder was so young. However, when Ye Bufan revealed the two Sixth Rank of Spirit Stage warriors on the city gate, Weih Xuankong finally acknowledged Ye Bufan in his heart. With such a young cultivation base, no wonder he was able to become the Law Enforcement Elder.
"Replying to the elder's words, those two men are from the Nature's Mystery Sect. Originally, the Nature's Mystery Sect had only sent a Sixth Rank of Spirit Stage Yin Kuangtian to manage this place, but for some reason... Last month, another Sixth Rank of Spirit Stage Yin Kuanglong was sent here. I have already reported this matter to the Chief Sect. However, there is still no response!" Weih Xuankong was also trying his best to investigate this matter, but there was still no progress.
Ye Bufan couldn't help but frown," Does this mean that the Nature's Mystery Sect and the Huang family can gather at least three Sixth Rank of Spirit Stage warriors? "
Weih Xuankong thought for a while and said, "There are still seven Fifth Rank of Spirit Stage warriors and thirteen Fourth Rank of Spirit Stage warriors..."
Good boy, Ye Bufan secretly clicked his tongue and said, "Then, the ___ should have some powerful forces in this place as well, right?"
"Yes, the Hong family in Starmoon City has been supported by us all these years. Their loyalty was also very high, but half a year ago, when Hong Qigong tried to break through to the Seventh Rank of Spirit Stage, he failed. He suffered a backlash, and now... " Although he didn't continue, the meaning behind his words was clear.
"How's the combat strength of those two from the Nature's Mystery Sect?" Ye Bufan asked again.
Although Weih Xuankong did not know why Ye Bufan was so concerned about everything in the Starmoon City, he still answered carefully, "Although I have never fought them directly, I guess they will fight one on one. I won't lose, but if I want to win, I'm afraid it will be a miserable victory! "
This was a little difficult to deal with! Obviously, the strength that he used to put down in the past would definitely not work. Ye Bufan paced back and forth a few steps. How could Weih Xuankong be a fool to be able to manage this place so well? "Elder, do you want to leave the city?"
Ye Bufan nodded and said, "To tell you the truth, I am confident that I can kill a Sixth Rank of Spirit Stage one on one, but it will be difficult for me to fight two on one!"
Weih Xuankong rolled his eyes and said, "This is not difficult. Just now, the Hong family sent a message to find the heart of the Flame Lion. Your subordinate will go and concoct the Heart Returning Flame Pill for him. If Hong Qigong recovers his strength... As long as Elder is willing to help, not to mention leaving the city, it won't be difficult to get rid of the two brothers of the Huang family's Yin Family together! "
"You know how to concoct pills?" Ye Bufan's eyes sparkled. It was his nature to have a favorable impression of Ye Bufan when it came to refining Alchemist.
When it came to alchemy, Weih Xuankong seemed to be in high spirits, "Last year, I finally received the low rank alchemist grandmaster medal from the Alchemist Guild!"
Low rank alchemist grandmaster? It must be an organization similar to the mercenary association. Although he was a little curious, Ye Bufan was too embarrassed to ask at this time, so he said, "Then let's go to the Hong family and refine the pill!"
Weih Xuankong originally planned to go to the Hong family, but Ye Bufan suddenly appeared in the sky. Although he was a little anxious, he did not dare to show it. Seeing Ye Bufan say this, he immediately nodded and agreed.
Hong family!
When Weih Xuankong entered the Hong family, Ye Bufan couldn't help but sigh at the strangeness of fate. Initially, he had planned to concoct a pill for the Hong family on account of their friendship, but he didn't expect that Third Uncle Hong's performance would make him think that he wouldn't have any more interactions with the Hong family in his life. However, he didn't expect that he would still need to concoct pills for Old Master Hong after arriving at the Hong family. This must be the arrangement of fate...
Hong Qigong's status was related to when he would be able to leave the city. Although he could change his appearance now, it was hard to guarantee that there was no way to distinguish him in this world. Therefore, it was best to leave as soon as possible in order to ensure his safety.
Weih Xuankong seemed to be a frequent visitor of the Hong family. He didn't encounter any obstacles along the way. After a few twists and turns, he walked straight towards the inner hall of the backyard of the Hong family.
After Ye Bufan and Weih Xuankong sat down for a while, the master of the Hong family immediately rushed over.
"Mister Wei, I've finally found you!" Hong Qinglong immediately cupped his fists and looked at Ye Bufan. He said, "This is..."
Weih Xuankong quickly stood up and bowed. "This is Mr. Ye!"
Hong Qinglong had been in charge of Hong family for a long time. How could he not have such good eyesight? Seeing that even his father had to show respect to this young man, Mr. Wei had such an attitude towards this young man. "Hong Qinglong greets Mr. Ye!" The two brothers behind him also cupped their fists and greeted Ye Bufan at the same time.
Although Ye Bufan did not oppose Hong Qingbao's actions at that time, he still felt somewhat unhappy in his heart. At this moment, he seemed to be slightly pleased when he saw this scene, "The Hong family Master is being polite!" Looking at Hong Qingbao, Ye Bufan could naturally guess that the person in front of him was Hong Feng's father, the current patriarch of the Hong family, Hong Qinglong.
Although he was somewhat curious about Ye Bufan's identity, Hong Qinglong was more concerned about his father's injuries. He hurriedly took out the jade box from his bosom and presented it to Weih Xuankong, "Mister Wei, please take a look!"
Weih Xuankong took the jade box and didn't open it immediately. He said, "Are the other herbs ready?"
"They are ready. Mr. Wei, please move to the alchemy room!" Hong Qinglong said respectfully.
"Okay..." Weih Xuankong was about to say he was going to the alchemy room when Ye Bufan suddenly interrupted him and said, "Let's go and check on Old Master Hong first."
Everyone was slightly stunned. Weih Xuankong immediately asked, "Is it convenient for the master of Hong family?"
Although he was in a hurry to concoct the pill for his father, seeing Weih Xuankong's attitude towards this young man, Hong Qinglong did not dare to say no. "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Ye. This way, please!"
Under the guidance of the three men from the Hong family, they walked to the seven-tenths of Hong's residence. Although Weih Xuankong didn't understand what Ye Bufan meant, he didn't dare to ask. Just like that, in the silent atmosphere, he walked to Old Master Hong's bedroom.
"Please wait for a moment, gentlemen. We will go and inform them!" After Hong Qinglong confessed his crimes, he led the two men behind him and pushed open the door and entered.
"Bastard, kneel down!" As soon as the three brothers entered the door, they heard a furious roar from inside the house. Ye Bufan and Weih Xuankong looked at each other. They really didn't know when the Hong family had happened.
After that, there was a low voice in the room. Hong Qinglong walked out and said, "Sorry for making you two laugh. It was only because my third brother did something wrong today that caused my father to be furious. Please come in!"
Ye Bufan and Weih Xuankong entered Old Master Hong's bedroom and saw Hong Qingbao kneeling in the middle of the room. It seemed like the two of them wanted to stand up but didn't dare to. Their expressions were a little awkward.
Hong Feng and Hong Yanruo stood behind Old Master Hong and supported the old man. Looking at the two of them, it seemed that they had cried before.
"What's there to be embarrassed about? If you dare to do it, then you dare to admit it! Brother Wei is also not an outsider! Just kneel there for your father!" Old Master Hong pointed at Hong Qingbao and shouted.
Second Brother Hong Qinghu, who was standing beside him, was secretly glad that he did not go.
