061 Qingyun City Situation
Chapter 61
After following Bai Qiaomo around for a few times, Feng Ming and him came to a grocery store.
The store itself was like a dangerous building. It seemed that a slightly stronger wind could overturn the house. It was more like a place to collect second-hand goods rather than selling groceries.
Feng Ming followed Bai Qiaomo into such a store, and it was difficult to find a place to stand.
The strange thing was that the people who followed them or hid in the dark to spy on them did not dare to get close to the grocery store. Obviously, this grocery store has a great background. Is
this called hiding in the city?
It is not an exaggeration to say that this shop is like a junk shop. Look at the dust in the shop, and there are spider webs hanging in the corners.
If Feng Ming is really a spoiled young master, he would definitely not want to step into such a place, and would only think that the dust would dirty his clothes.
At this moment, he just asked the guards to guard outside, and looked around the shop curiously, trying to find where the store is.
Seeing that Feng Ming adapted well, Bai Qiaomo felt relieved and pointed to a corner.
Feng Ming looked over and saw a recliner placed behind a pile of miscellaneous items. A little old man was curled up on the recliner and sleeping, not caring at all that there was a stranger in the shop.
Bai Qiaomo was not surprised by the shopkeeper. He looked at the shop again, then walked to one side and touched it. In just a moment, his hands and sleeves were stained with dust and dirt.
But he dragged out an old box from a pile of miscellaneous items. There were traces of insects gnawing on the box, which made people unbearable to look at.
Bai Qiaomo opened the box, and Feng Ming was surprised to see a token lying inside, with the ancient characters "Xuan Yue" on it. Isn't it exactly the same as the token in the Jinyuan Auction House before?
Bai Qiaomo smiled and said, "Sure enough, it's still here." It was his chance and it was not taken away by others. Then he closed the box and shouted, "Shopkeeper, how much is this box and the token inside?"
The old man was woken up, half sat up and said impatiently, "Why are you arguing? Don't you know it's time for me to go to bed?"
Bai Qiaomo smiled politely and said, "Sorry, it's our fault. I brought a pot of good wine to honor the old man as our gift of apology." Bai
Qiaomo took out a pot of wine that he had prepared long ago. Feng Ming then realized the reason why Bai Qiaomo brought this pot of wine before leaving the house. It turned out that he wanted to bribe the old man.
The old man's eyes, which were cloudy just now, immediately became clear and alert. He quickly jumped over, snatched the wine jar from Bai Qiaomo's hand, and then opened it and sniffed it.
Although his eyes were satisfied, his mouth was unforgiving: "It's okay, forget it, I'm in a good mood now, so I'll let you go this time. Want that thing? Ten thousand yuan crystals, take it."
"Okay." Bai Qiaomo took out a bag, filled it with ten thousand yuan crystals, and threw it to the old man. The old man reached out to catch it, and it disappeared with a flip of his hand.
The transaction was established, Bai Qiaomo bowed respectfully and left, and Feng Ming followed suit: "Then we'll leave, and won't disturb you from drinking."
The old man ignored the two young men and half-sat on the recliner holding the wine jar, looking like he was determined to drink.
After leaving the grocery store, Feng Ming still looked back curiously. This grocery store was too mysterious in his eyes.
He whispered to Bai Qiaomo: "Who is this old man?"
Bai Qiaomo smiled: "I want to know, but unfortunately I don't know."
Later, he wanted to come back to see the situation here, but due to some strange circumstances, he never returned to Gaoyang County and never met this old man again. The old man's identity has always been a mystery to him.
Feng Ming: "It's really interesting. I hope I can meet him again in the future."
Who would have thought that the token of Xuanyue Secret Realm would fall into their hands so easily? Although they paid 10,000 yuan crystals, it was sold at a high price of more than 2 million yuan at the auction that day. It seems that the store owner lost a lot.
The two young masters were finally leaving the slums, and the guards who followed them all breathed a sigh of relief. They were under a lot of pressure here, fearing that they could not protect the two young masters well.
Then they went shopping in the downtown area, and Feng Ming wanted to replenish some spiritual medicines for himself.
Because after obtaining the inheritance of alchemy, he learned more kinds of elixirs, and the original stock could not meet his needs.
The spiritual medicines in the shops in Gaoyang County are more complete than those in Qingyun City, but some niche spiritual medicines are still scarce.
Feng Ming visited several shops in succession and still couldn't replenish them, but he didn't care too much, and he would replenish them when he had the chance.
Just after coming out of a shop, Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo heard someone calling them.
Looking up in the direction of the voice, they saw Gong Yuming standing by the window on the second floor of the restaurant opposite, waving at them while calling out.
Feng Ming looked at Bai Qiaomo: "Do you want to go?"
Bai Qiaomo said: "Then let's go and see what he wants us to do."
In fact, he could see that Feng Ming really liked to argue with Gong Yuming.
Just as he said, the two of them were the kind of casual friends who could become close friends, but they were not comparable to Sheng Duo.
Feng Ming: "Let's go."
The two of them came to the restaurant opposite and went up to a private room on the second floor by the window. They had clearly seen other figures in the window before, but now only Gong Yuming was left, with guards standing guard outside.
Feng Ming also arranged food for his guards, and then pulled Bai Qiaomo to sit down very unceremoniously.
"Master Ming asked us to come here for something?"
"Hey, can't I call you if there's nothing? After all, we are good friends." Feng Ming
was happy. This guy really knew how to climb up the ladder: "Why do you come to the outer city instead of staying in the inner city? Where are the friends who drank with you before?"
Gong Yuming said indifferently: "They can't even be called good friends. Of course, we sent them away."
Feng Ming didn't talk nonsense with him. He came to see this guy because he had something to ask him. This guy must be well-informed.
"I have something to ask you. Did Master Ming know that Wu Yingyan left? What did he do before he left?"
Gong Yuming held up a wine glass and glanced at Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo: "Well, I offered myself to you, isn't it a bit unfair?"
"You can say it if you want."
"Okay, okay, isn't it okay for me to say it myself? Master Bai, I'm really worried that if you stay with Feng Ming, you will be bullied by him in the future."
Bai Qiaomo smiled and said, "Brother Ming is very good and has not bullied me."
Gong Yuming looked as if he had seen a ghost. Feng Ming knocked on the table to remind him to speak quickly.
Gong Yuming shook his head, thinking that the Feng family's actions would not be a coincidence, and they really did the right thing to make this couple.
"Okay, okay, I said it's not enough." Gong Yuming was still happy to chat with Feng Ming. "If you want to know about these things, just ask me. There is nothing I don't know.
The day after the auction ended, Feng Linlang took her brother back to Sihong Academy. Wu Yingyan, who got the news, hurriedly chased after them. As for what else Ming asked him to do, it seems that Ming knows this Wu very well."
"That's right. This guy doesn't look like a mean person. I made him spend so much money, how could he let me go so easily? In Gaoyang County, due to the presence of Lord Zong Houye, the city lord, and we didn't go out, he couldn't attack us. I guess, did he hire someone to target our Feng family's business in Qingyun City?"
Gong Yuming immediately raised his thumb: "You guessed it right. Young Master Ming is really sharp-eyed. He saw through Wu Yingyan's character at a glance. I wonder how Young Master Ming and Uncle Feng plan to deal with it? The four major families in our Gaoyang County may not be assigned by Wu Yingyan, but it's hard to say about Qingyun City."
Gong Yuming looked at Feng Ming, and Bai Qiaomo also turned to look at Feng Ming. He
had been in seclusion since he got the Qingshuang strange spring water. It had not been long since he came out of seclusion, so he had not had time to think about this matter.
Listening to what Fengming said, it was indeed something that Wu Yingyan could do. In the end, it was he who implicated Fengming and his son.
Fengming touched his chin: "My father is here, why should I worry about it? Even in a small place like Qingyun City, it is not certain that Wu Yingyan, the young master of Wu, can command everyone. Don't worry, didn't you see that I am not worried?"
Bai Qiaomo's mind turned a few bends, and he understood Fengming's thoughts a little, so he put down his worries and tasted the dishes that had just been served with Fengming.
Gong Yuming was unhappy, he wanted to see Fengming get anxious and angry.
As far as he knew, Feng Ming's father had built a huge business in Qingyun City, and there were many people who were jealous of Feng's business.
Now that Wu Yingyan had spread the word, these cultivators and forces would definitely find ways to tear off some meat from the Feng family.
Feng Jinlin was not in Qingyun City, and the people he left in Qingyun City were probably no match for other families and forces.
Gong Yuming was extremely curious. He had actually been running to the outer city these days because he knew about Wu Yingyan's little trick, so he wanted to run into Feng Ming by chance and see how he would react.
But the current situation was a little unexpected for him.
"No way, you really don't worry that when you return to Qingyun City, your Feng family's industry will be greatly reduced?"
Feng Ming sneered, "I'm not in a hurry, why should you be? The news that my father has advanced to the peak of Yuanye Realm should have been reported back. With my father's strength, who can touch my Feng family? Waiting for my father to come and attack us? So why are you in a hurry? Unless Wu Yingyan left behind a Yuandan Realm master to help them, is Wu Yingyan so kind?"
Gong Yuming shook his head. Wu Yingyan did not leave behind such a master, but: "Someone from the Wan family should be involved, but people in the name of the Wan family should not take action and leave a handle for others."
It was the Wan family again. Bai Qiaomo had a very bad impression of this Wan family.
Feng Ming also wrinkled his nose: "Why is the Wan family acting like a stinky fly? They are involved in everything."
Gong Yuming was amused. Feng Ming had a bad mouth. As long as he didn't spit at him but at others, he would be very happy to listen.
"Your description is really vivid. Sometimes the Wan family does things that are really annoying."
Feng Ming snorted and said, "It's just a stinky fly. One day, someone will find the buzzing of this fly too annoying and slap the buzzing fly to death with a slap."
