Chapter 583 Uncle has nothing good to give you on our first meeting
"Chief Jin, do you know our two brothers?" Lu Yang asked cautiously. Chief Jin is not only big in size, but also a top-notch ruthless character to be able to become the chief of the Qiongqi tribe.
Before setting off, he and Lao Meng were still wondering whether the people in the Demon Realm could recognize them. They concluded that at most the Demon Realm knew their names but had never seen their faces.
Looking at Patriarch Jin's behavior, my previous conclusion was too arbitrary.
Patriarch Jin glanced at Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou with a smile.
"Originally, I didn't care who the Jindan-stage geniuses were. It was all nonsense before they grew up. But you, Lu Yang, are different."
"How am I different?"
Lu Yang smiled unconsciously. Could it be that his unique talent had attracted the attention of the Jin clan leader? "You are the disciple of Taoist Buyu."
Lu Yang: “…”
"When I learned that the champion was the disciple of Master Bu Yu, I specially ordered someone to find his portrait."
"As for Meng Jingzhou, you are the eldest son of the Meng family. I also want to have your portrait."
"I didn't expect that you two were with the Demonic Sound Goddess. Is there any relationship between you?" Patriarch Jin narrowed his eyes and scanned the three of them.
The Demonic Sound Goddess likes to go to tombs and kill monsters frequently, which has caused her many enemies. However, she has superb skills and no one can catch her.
The origins of the Demonic Sound Goddess are mysterious, and no one knows her roots.
Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were able to enter the Qiongqi Tomb with the help of the Demonic Sound Goddess.
Why would they help them? Could it be that Demonic Sound Goddess is also from the Daoist Sect...
Patriarch Jin didn't think any further about what the identity of the Demonic Sound Goddess had to do with him.
As Chief Jin walked, thick fog rose from his body, and out of the fog walked a burly middle-aged man with tiger ears.
"Three of you please."
He brought the three people to a small wooden cabin. The interior of the cabin was exquisitely constructed, unlike the rough caves and tree holes that could be seen everywhere among the Qiongqi people. It was very much in line with the aesthetic taste of the human race. It was probably prepared by the Qiongqi people to receive humans.
The Qiongqi tribe is not a race isolated from the rest of the world. On the contrary, in order to make money, they often communicate with various tribes of the demon race and humans.
It's just that due to lack of talent, they often fail in business.
The Qiongqi tribe has a rich heritage. If they take out one or two of the burial objects in the main tomb and sell them, I'm afraid that those in the Tribulation Crossing period will scramble to grab them, and they can be sold at a sky-high price.
Those were the most valuable items in the box. Selling them would be a waste of them. Patriarch Jin didn't want to leave a bad reputation.
Chief Jin asked the transformed tribesmen to pour tea for the three people, and his enthusiasm made the three people a little overwhelmed.
The third senior sister was even more worried that there was some conspiracy. With her skills, she could escape at will, but the two junior brothers could not do that.
The senior sister asked me to take care of my two junior brothers, and I couldn't let anything go wrong in my hands.
"Potian and I are brothers, you can call me Uncle Jin." Patriarch Jin laughed when he saw the three people were restrained.
The corners of Meng Jingzhou's eyes twitched slightly. He didn't expect that the reason why Patriarch Jin was so nice to the three of them was because of him. Thinking about what the third senior sister said about the relationship between the Meng family and the Qiongqi tribe, Patriarch Jin's attitude was easy to understand.
But the problem is that he has run away from home. Although his father has forgiven him, he still feels uneasy.
He hesitated for a moment, then chose to respect the opinion of Patriarch Jin and called him Uncle Jin.
After hearing this, Patriarch Jin laughed heartily and handed Meng Jingzhou a piece of paper.
"My dear nephew, I don't have anything good to give you on this first meeting, so please keep this IOU."
Meng Jingzhou subconsciously refused and took the gift: "This is too expensive... Wait, what do you say this is?"
"IOU."
Meng Jingzhou turned the paper over, and on the front it was written how much spirit stones Patriarch Jin owed the Meng family, how much interest, and the deadline for repayment.
Chief Jin was a great demon king with a strong psychological quality. He said calmly, "Can you talk to your family and forgive my debt?"
Meng Jingzhou: “…”
In his impression, no one dared to default on the Meng family's debt, let alone exemption.
Patriarch Jin asked tentatively: "Is it okay to waive the interest?"
Meng Jingzhou remained silent.
Patriarch Jin was unwilling to give up: "It's ok to pay back the money two years later."
Meng Jingzhou was worried that if he continued to remain silent, Patriarch Jin would consider kidnapping him and demanding a ransom from the Meng family.
"No problem. I'll tell my dad when I get back. I'll pay it back two years later without interest."
Patriarch Jin breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he wouldn't have to worry about being struck by lightning in the short term.
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen Brother Potian for a long time. I often ask the merchants about the recent situation of Potian and the Meng family. I heard that the Meng family, as the first family of the human race, has made many good friends in the Imperial City, is generous and kind, and is happy to help others. They are well-received by the monks in the Imperial City. Everyone who sees the Meng family will greet them with a smile."
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
"Brother Potian is even more outstanding. He shines brightly in the officialdom. Both civil officials and military generals praise Brother Potian and say he has the talent of a famous prime minister throughout the ages..."
Meng Jingzhou became restless after listening to this. It seemed that none of these adjectives had anything to do with the Meng family.
"Uncle Jin, if you have anything to say, just tell me."
"My dear nephew, you are a quick-witted person who can do great things!"
"Uncle, I don't have any requests. I just hope that the Meng family can lend us some spiritual stones?"
"Repay the loan?" Meng Jingzhou was shocked. You just wanted to default on your debt, but you still dare to ask for money. Is this the face of the Great Demon King? Chief Jin said seriously, "It's not a repayment. I borrowed it in my personal name before, but this time I borrowed it in the name of the Qiongqi Clan. The two cannot be confused."
"...I can go back and talk to my family, but there's no guarantee it will work."
Patriarch Jin was overjoyed, his face turned pale, "Then I'll trouble you, nephew, to take care of this matter!"
"It's a small matter, a small matter." Meng Jingzhou said hurriedly. For safety reasons, he should ask the housekeeper to talk to my father when he returns.
Judging from the time, the butler should be released.
Originally, Patriarch Jin wanted to call out the genius of the Qiongqi tribe to fight with Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, but when he thought that these two were the champion and runner-up of the middle-stage Jindan, it would be difficult for his own genius to win.
Moreover, if they defeat Meng Jingzhou, how can the Qiongqi tribe borrow money?
For this reason, I had to give up this idea.
Chief Jin entertained the three people for two days before sending them out of the tribe. He did not pursue the matter of the archaeological excavation in the tomb. In addition to Meng Jingzhou's identity, there was another reason.
Through the mouths of these three people, he told Daxia about the ancient Emperor Jiang's unification of the demon realm.
According to records, the ancient Emperor Jiang had a tyrannical temperament. Allowing such a big demon to unify the demon realm would probably bring unpredictable blessings or disasters.
"Yawn~" The Immortal Fairy woke up from the tree, and seeing that the three people were safe and sound, she knew that what she thought was right, and Chief Jin would not make things difficult for the three people at all.
"See, I told you it was a small matter."
"The Qiongqi tribe has always been poor, and it has not been easy for them to remain poor until now."
"I have suggested to Lao Qiongqi before that the name Qiongqi is not good. It will bring you financial loss. We should change the name."
"Fairy, what do you suggest the Qiongqi tribe change its name to?"
"Prosperity and wealth."
