Magic Emperor/Demonic Emperor

Chapter 20:

"Uncle Nine, this ..."

Long Kui looked at Long Jiu with a dumbfounded look, his eyes full of incomprehensible colors. But Long Jiu just waved his hand, one eye fixed on Zhuo Fan's calm face.

Zhuo Fan also looked at Long Jiu, and after a while, a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "It's too low."

"Wh ..."

Zhuo Fan's words made everyone stop exclaiming, not only Longkui, even Luo Yunshang and Pang Tong looked at him incredulously.

1.8 million, which is already an unimaginable wealth for the Luo family. Even the young lady Luo Yunshang had never dreamed that the Luo family would have so many spirit stones one day, but in the eyes of Zhuo Fan, who was born from below, was still considered too low?

This made Luo Yunshang and Pang Commander both feel a little trance. If Zhuo Fan grew up in Yunzhuang from an early age, they must think he was born in Wang Sungui.

His vision is too high.

However, the impact of Zhuo Fan's remarks has not yet dissipated, Long Jiu's answer is to surprise everyone again.

"This old man understands, but 1.8 million is all the money the old man can mobilize now, and there is no more."

"Uh ... then we'll sell Jiu Ye's face, 1.8 million is 1.8 million." Luo Yunshang wiped the sweat on his forehead and smiled awkwardly.

She could not have imagined that Zhuo Fan's casual painting was so valuable that she could make God Eye Long Jiu spend all her resources to acquire it.

Moreover, looking at Long Jiu's appearance seems to be inevitable for this painting, it would be better to sell his personal feelings, and by the way, be able to get along with Qianlong Pavilion.

Sure enough, Long Jiu heard Luo Yunshang's words, and showed a gratifying smile, his hands carefully rolled up the scroll.

However, at this moment, Zhuo Fan pressed the scroll on the table with a palm and said coldly: "Since you can't afford a higher price, this business is cancelled."

"Zhuofan!"

Luo Yunshang was surprised, and made Zhuo Fanpin's eyes wink, but Zhuo Fan didn't seem to see it, his hand holding the scroll was not loose.

With a slight squint, Long Jiu's mighty momentum suddenly pressed Zhuo Fan to him: "Boy, the old man is going to fix this stuff."

Feeling the terrifying power of the powerful, everyone was pushed back together, and the faces of Luo Yunshang and Pang Tong were even more horrified.

Long Jiu is more terrifying than Cai Rong. Offended him, he will be killed in minutes.

Only Zhuofan, bearing this momentum, sneered and looked at him: "Nine Lord, if you do this, it will damage the reputation of Qianlong Pavilion."

"Boy, aren't you afraid?" Long Jiu strengthened again.

"Huh, Jiuye, aren't you afraid?" Zhuo Fan sneered and asked rhetorically.

Slightly stunned, Long Jiu suddenly withdrew his momentum and laughed: "Hahaha ... Good boy, the Luo family and someone like you are supporting you, you can't worry that the salted fish can't turn over."

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned, inexplicably. Just as the two men had fought back and forth, they now disappeared instantly, and the atmosphere calmed down.

But where do they know that the two have just had a psychological contest between the strong.

Long Jiu released his momentum to oppress Zhuo Fan, naturally he wanted him to be soft and sell the picture to himself. However, Zhuo Fan's rhetoric under pressure has another meaning. After all, Qianlong Pavilion is the only business family in the Seventh Family. If there is a strong purchase and strong sales, it will inevitably damage the family honor.

Zhuo Fan gambled with his family and the status of his family's honor in Long Jiu's mind, and Zhuo Fan won.

After taking a deep look at Zhuo Fan, Long Jiu said openly and honestly: "Boy, I know you came to Qianlong Pavilion not only to sell this picture, but what are the conditions to open it."

The corner of his mouth slightly tilted, Zhuo Fan pushed the picture in front of Long Jiu and smiled: "The asking price is 10 million, we will pay 1 million first, and then pay it back slowly when you owe us."

"This..."

Long Jiu looked at the picture in front of him, after considering it for a long time, he finally nodded his head: "Okay, until the pay off, we owe you Qianlong Pavilion Luo Family."

After finishing speaking, Long Jiu picked up the scroll and walked out of the living room without saying a word. It was only after his figure disappeared that his voice came from afar: "Xiao Kui, give them a million and give away guests."

"Uh, yes!"

Long Kui hesitated for a moment, puzzled, and she had never seen Long Jiu's expression so depressed. When I turned my head to look at Zhuo Fan again, I saw that Luo Jia's housekeeper, who had been upset and angry since he entered the door, showed a satisfied smile for the first time.

Then, Long Kui gave Zhuo Fan a million spirit stones and sent them out.

At the door, the two guards were about to wait for them to come out and give a lesson, but they saw that Long Kui sent them out with respect, and he was stunned. But when I heard that the transaction amount reached one million this time, I was dumbfounded.

They never imagined that in such a remote town, there could be such a big deal. Even in Qianlong Pavilion's transaction history, it still ranks in the top three.

"Good luck, fortunately you didn't do it, or you would have a big trouble." A guard looked at the back of the four people, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and sighed, and the other nodded like a chicken eating rice.

Qianlong Pavilion treats big households with great respect. If someone in Qianlong Pavilion offends them, it will be severely punished by the family.

Especially for such large multi-million-dollar households, even a little disrespect for them is a death sentence.

Thinking of this, the two guards were sweating ...

On the other hand, after taking away Zhuo Fan from them, Long Kui came to Long Jiu's room again. I saw that at this moment, Long Jiu Zheng was taking a closer look at the first-order formation.

"Nine Uncle, isn't it a first-class array map, how could it be possible to set a high price of 10 million, I have never seen 10 million things?" Long Kui quickly asked as soon as he entered the door.

With a sigh, Long Jiu summoned Long Kui to his side and said, "Xiao Kui, you are optimistic about this picture, I am afraid there will be only one in the Tianyu Empire."

"This is ..." Longkui glared in surprise.

"Ancient formation diagram!"

Long Jiu's eyes flashed with excitement, and even his voice made a slight trembling: "The ancient formation method has been lost today, but judging from the records of the ancient books, it can't be wrong. This is the ancient formation diagram. This is an invaluable treasure. Ah, which 10 million spirit stones are comparable. "

"What, this picture is really so precious?"

Nodded, Long Jiu's face showed a child-like smile, as if meeting his most beloved toy. But soon, as if thinking of something, his face dimmed immediately.

"Xiao Kui, you let Ajie find four or five good hands to protect the Luo family. They offended the Sun family yesterday."

"Why are we going to protect them?" Longkui puzzled.

Long Jiu murmured and said lightly: "Did you not hear it just now, we owe them."

Hearing this, Longkui reacted. It turned out that Zhuo Fan had negotiated with Longjiu for this matter.

However, after all, Jiu Shu is a battle-hardened old river and lake, but this time the negotiation was actually crushed by a young yellow-haired kid, no wonder he would be unhappy.

Thinking of this, Longkui involuntarily "fluttered" and laughed ...
