Chapter 155 Male protagonist?
"I can't say too much on the sound transmission note, so I can only briefly describe the situation. Now that you are here, it is better to understand the details."
Xu Qiuqian sat down on the chair next to her very naturally and asked Zhu Xin to sit down as well.
Zhizhi stared at Xiao Pingyue.
Xiao Pingyue couldn't help but look at Zhizhi twice more.
Then he retracted his gaze and continued: "The thing is, three months ago, the Xiao family bought a batch of camphor wood from the Su family at a low price. A small part of it was left in Yancheng, and most of it was taken to other cities for sale.
At that time, our people checked and found that it was indeed camphor wood. No one noticed anything wrong when it was sold. A month ago, a monk came to us to argue. We checked it at that time and found that it was indeed camphor wood, so we naturally refused to recognize it.
We thought that the monk was just looking for trouble, but in the following period of time, more and more monks who had come to buy camphor wood before came to our door and said that the camphor wood we sold was fake.
It was only then that we realized that what the Su family sold us was fake camphor wood.
We went to the Su family to argue, but they denied it and said we sold fakes and wanted to blame them for the problem."
After all, the Xiao family has no roots in Yancheng, nor is it as powerful as the Su family.
But the Xiao family couldn't swallow this humiliation, so they called Xiao Pingyue.
After Xiao Pingyue came, he finally found the loophole of the Su family after several twists and turns, and confirmed that the fake camphor wood was sold to them by the Su family. However, the Su family refused to admit it even when the facts were right in front of them.
He also said that the goods sold by their Su family were more and better than those sold by the Xiao family. Even if the Xiao family told others about it, no one else would believe it.
The Xiao family was not convinced and naturally continued to argue.
Finally, they started to compare whose goods were the best and most comprehensive.
Afterwards, Xiao Pingyue came forward again, and the two families reached a consensus and decided to compete.
If the Su family wins, the Xiao family will admit the loss, and the Xiao family’s store will no longer be allowed to open in Yancheng. If the Xiao family wins, the Su family will apologize to the Xiao family and publicly admit that it was they who sold the fake camphor wood to the Xiao family.
In the meantime, both teams can seek external assistance.
Because the Su family believed that they would not lose, and they could also seek external aid, which meant they were a sure win, so they agreed without thinking.
As for the Xiao family, Xiao Pingyue thought of Xu Qiuqian first.
If there is anyone who can produce goods that are not inferior to those of the Su family, it is only Xu Qiuqian.
This is not only related to whether the Xiao family can stay in Yancheng, but also to the Xiao family's reputation. If the Su family refuses to admit it, other cultivators will think that it is fake goods sold by the Xiao family. Once the news spreads, how can the Xiao family do business in other cities? After hearing this, Xu Qiuqian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"So you're betting the Xiao family's reputation on me? Haven't you ever thought about what would happen if I lose?"
"If you lose, I won't blame you. I can only blame the Xiao family for not checking it carefully at the time and suffering a big loss. Even if the Xiao family is seriously injured, it will not fall into decline. It can only slowly build up its reputation again."
Xiao Pingyue looked calm, which made Xu Qiuqian admire him.
If Xiao Pingyue held the mentality that she would never lose, she would be unhappy.
Even though she knew that she couldn't lose, she didn't like irrelevant people placing all their unbearable hopes on her. If that was the case, she would have to think carefully about cooperating with the Xiao family.
Because even if she solves it this time, there will be next time.
If she fails to solve the problem once, the Xiao family will definitely blame her for being incompetent.
Fortunately, Xiao Pingyue could see clearly.
"Okay, I agree. When?"
"Tomorrow."
Xu Qiuqian nodded, and then continued, "What about Xiaoxin's brother."
"We have contacted the person who is suspected to be her brother. He should be here soon."
Zhu Xin became even more nervous after hearing this.
It will be here in a moment.
That means she will know whether that person is her brother in a while. What if he is not her brother? A trace of worry and fear flashed across her eyes.
I was afraid that the person I would meet might not be my brother.
Seeing this, Xiao Pingyue couldn't help but comfort her in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, Miss Zhu. There is a 60% chance that the man is your brother, but he is very defensive and never reveals any information about himself or you. We only know that he came from a small town and was originally going to Youling City. He encountered something on the way and came to Yancheng. Moreover, his last name is Zhu, and his eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Miss Zhu."
Taking these points together, it can indeed be called suspected.
With so many overlapping points, there is at least an 80% chance that it could be Zhu Xin's brother. However, to be conservative, Xiao Pingyue said it was 60% chance, for fear of giving Zhu Xin too much hope. If it turns out not to be the case, she would be very disappointed and sad.
Zhu Xin nodded and clenched her hands.
Xu Qiuqian reached out and held her hand.
"Take a deep breath and don't be nervous. Even if this isn't the person, I will continue to help you look for him. I'll have to find him alive or dead."
Zhu Xin chuckled at her serious look and said helplessly, "How can Sister Xu comfort me like this?"
If he's still alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his body.
But Xu Qiuqian really thought so in his heart. The world of cultivating immortals is very dangerous.
Because of her words, Zhu Xin also calmed down.
About half an hour later, the person was finally brought here.
The man was wearing a turquoise robe, with an upright posture and a handsome appearance. He was unforgettable at first sight, and his eyebrows were indeed somewhat similar to Zhu Xin.
"Brother!" Zhu Xin ran towards the man and threw herself into his arms.
"Xinxin?" Zhu Yichen subconsciously hugged her tightly, shocked.
I didn't expect that she was really his sister? He thought that person was lying to him!
But he hadn't seen his sister for five years and missed her very much, so he came here with the mentality of "better to be safe than sorry", and was even prepared to return empty-handed or seriously injured.
Zhu Xin burst into tears.
"Brother, why haven't you come home for so long? Didn't you say you would be back in three years? You're a big liar!"
She cried and couldn't help but punch Zhu Yichen with her fist.
Zhu Yichen didn't dare to fight back. After all, his sister was just a mortal, so he could only let her beat him.
As they hammered, Zhu Yichen was fine, but Zhu Xin's hands were red from hammering, which made him feel even more aggrieved.
Zhu Yichen looked around at a loss and saw Xu Qiuqian.
Thinking that Xu Qiuqian seemed to be holding her sister's hand when she came in just now, the two should have a good relationship, and then she looked at Xu Qiuqian for help.
Xu Qiuqian shifted her gaze and stopped looking at Zhu Yichen.
I haven't been home for so long and my sister ran away. What if she meets some bad guys? So I just have to bear it.
Anyway, he is a monk, so it won’t hurt even if he is beaten. What’s more, he is not being beaten, but facing the years of grievances and longings of his sister.
She was too lazy to get involved.
[Warm reminder: The hero of this article, Zhu Yichen, is asking you for help. Are you sure you want to turn a blind eye? ]
Xu Qiuqian was stunned.
Male lead?
