Chapter 249 Eight Great Families Meet Martial Arts
As soon as the old liar left, the leader floated back and gave me a thumbs up: "Dad, you are so cruel and awesome. I just went to the surveillance room and deleted the surveillance video, which could not be restored."
"Well, it's okay to delete it or not. In addition, I want to ask you for something." Then, I asked him to help monitor Xia Chaoran's parents. The leader said, "Dad, you're too polite. These are all small matters, just queue up a few younger brothers to go there."
Afterwards... I settled Xia Chaoran's affairs with the police. When I was carrying out the mission last time, Feng Nianke introduced me to the senior police officers, and Huanyu Pavilion had many contacts with the senior police officers, so I called the senior manager and told me directly that it was okay and he would handle the case.
After dealing with these things, Xiaohui took me to the train station. In the waiting hall, I said to Xiaohui: "Don't think about the past. If you have any difficulties in the future, just call me."
Xiaohui nodded: "I'm fine."
Seeing that Xiaohui was still in a low mood, I didn't say anything more...
………………………………………
Two days later, the capital.
The fox demon pulled my clothes cutely: "I want to eat that marshmallow."
After buying her a marshmallow, I stood at the entrance of the train station and called Xu Xiaoling. The phone rang a few times, and then I actually reminded: "The phone you called cannot be connected."
Has been hung up? What's going on? My phone was confiscated again?
Just as I was frowning, a message came from my phone. It was sent by Xu Xiaoling. The general content of the message was that it was not convenient for her to answer the phone now, so she called me later.
So the fox demon and I sat on the steps at the entrance of the train station and waited. The fox demon ate ice cream and had a dirty face. After eating it, he put the ice cream box in front of me and asked, "What are you doing?"
A 'disabled man' who was begging for food in the distance said, "I also want to make some money and buy a box of ice cream like him."
I rolled my eyes and thought to myself, don't you steal other people's business? Don't you have money? But since she likes to play, I didn't stop her and sat on the steps and waited for Xu Xiaoling to call me back.
As a result, I waited for three hours, and only two dollars were placed in the ice cream box. Looking at the "disabled person" three hours ago, after asking for a few hundred dollars, he climbed to a corner, stood up, patted his butt and left... The Fox Fairy and I were stunned for several seconds before we recovered. Then the Fox Fairy also said that we would pretend to be disabled, but I stopped him.
Yes, although the clothes of the fox demon and I are not from any brand, they are clean and tidy. They are not beggars at first glance. It would be strange if this dress costs money.
The fox demon picked up the ice cream box and put it in front of me. He asked cutely: "Brother Xiaolong, can I sell ice cream for two dollars?"
I took out a piece of money worth fifteen and put it in the box: "It's enough now."
"Then you go and buy it for me." The fox demon stuffed the money back into my hand.
Just as I was about to talk, my phone suddenly rang. I took it out and saw Xu Xiaoling finally called: "Xiaolong, where are you?"
"Ningrou and I are at the train station. What about you? What were you doing just now?"
"I was holding a family meeting just now, so it was not convenient for me to answer the phone. I'm sorry, I've been waiting for you for so long."
"It's okay." I said with a smile.
"Well, then you're waiting for me at the station, and I'll send a car to pick you up now."
………………………………………
An hour later, the fox demon and I arrived at the Xu family, and Xu Xiaoling stood at the door waiting for me. The fox demon and I got out of the car and walked into the yard with Xu Xiaoling. I asked, "Ningrou, what does uncle mean?"
Xu Xiaoling shook her head slightly: "This time my father asked me to come back not because of you, but because of another thing."
Another thing? I am sure that the head of Xu must have known about my lung failure for a long time, but he asked Xu Xiaoling to come back this time but didn't say this. Why? In my opinion, there are two reasons. First, a big incident happened in the Xu family. Xu Xiaoling, as the eldest daughter of the direct line, must come back. I guess that matters with me must be more important. Second, Xu Xiaoling didn't tell the truth to me. Perhaps the head of Xu did not agree with her being with me, but she was afraid that I would be under too much pressure, so she lied to me.
I smiled and touched her hair: "Ningrou, it seems that that matter seems very important, it is not convenient to tell me? Maybe I can help you. Get married soon, you have to let me show off in front of my father-in-law."
Xu Xiaoling said worriedly: "The eight major families who are once a year have almost begun to meet martial arts. In fact, there are very complicated relationships between the eight families. There are often business frictions, but they are all small brushes. The eight major families are jointly founded by the eight major families. Before the martial arts, each family must hand over two treasures, which can be demon pills or space rings with one cubic meter of internal space. These rewards will be awarded to the top three in the competition. In other words, if the top three are from the same family, then the family will make a fortune. Our Xu family has not won the top three for three consecutive times, so this time the family pays great attention and hopes to get the top three. Otherwise, if this continues, there will be few treasures in the family that can be taken out. Without the treasures, they will be kicked out of the eight major families."
"Oh? So serious? But the Zhang family, who are also from the Eight Great Family, seems to have poor martial arts skills. He is not as good as yours, right?"
Xu Xiaoling shook his head: "It's different, Xiaolong, you don't know. As a family of miraculous doctors, the Zhang family has a wide connection. When some big shots go to seek medical treatment, the Zhang family will ask to go to the other party's house to choose a treasure. The family of high-ranking officials and nobles may have treasures like demon pills hidden in the family. Moreover, there is also an immortal cultivator, and there are many treasures such as space rings."
My eyes twitched twice: "Immortal cultivator? Let's not talk about this. Ningrou, what did your father say this time?"
"I just discussed it once, but I still didn't achieve a satisfactory result."
"Ningrou, take me to see your father." I said.
Xu Xiaoling looked at me in surprise: "Xiaolong, what do you want to do?"
"Nothing, I just want to talk to him." I said with a smile: "Tell me about this martial arts event."
Xu Xiaoling was still worried. I knew that the head of the Xu family must have said something to her. She was a little worried that the head of the Xu family would turn me off later. So I comforted me and said, "Ningrou, believe me, I know how to do it. Oh, by the way, there is also good news. My terminal illness has been solved by my master, and we can live together forever in the future."
"Really?" Xu Xiaoling's worry was swept away and she asked in surprise.
I nodded: "Okay, take me to see him."
Xu Xiaoling held my arm with one hand and held the cute fox demon in the other hand, and came all the way to the villa of the head of the Xu family.
The head of the Xu family was sitting on a chair at the door, drinking tea and reading books. He had heard our footsteps for a long time, but he had never looked up. He knew that Xu Xiaoling said, "Dad, Xiaolong brings his sister to see you."
The head of the Xu family put down the book and looked up and said, "Xiaolong is here, and Yujia, you are tired of traveling a long distance. Ningrou, you can go and have a rest first. I'll ask the kitchen to make a banquet later, and we'll talk later."
The Xu family leader’s attitude was not very good, which was very different from the last time. Just as Xu Xiaoling was about to speak, I touched her gently, stopped her words, and then smiled and said, “Uncle, I just heard Ningrou talk about the martial arts of the Eight Great Family, and I also know that my uncle really wants the Xu family to obtain the top three places. Maybe I can help.”
The head of the Xu family put the book on the table and looked at me seriously: "According to the news I received, you have a terminal illness, lung failure, and cannot do strenuous exercise. How can you help me?"
I still kept a smile: "Uncle, you underestimate me too much. That little illness is not worth mentioning at all. If you want a quota, I promise you that I dare not say the first place, but I am sure of the top three."
"This is not a joke, it's not that you promise that you will definitely get a quota."
"I'm like this, uncle. I heard that before participating in the competition, each family of the eight major families would have to hand over two treasures as a reward for the winner. These two treasures can be a cubic meter space ring or a demon pill. I am willing to provide two demon pills. If I lose, these two demon pills will be on my head. If I win, the two demon pills will be returned to me. As for the other rewards, all of them will be my uncle. How about it?"
The head of the Xu family stood up and smiled on his face: "This is a sure-making deal, but if Xiaolong doesn't say that, it's too dissatisfaction. They are all family members, why bother so clearly?"
It is said that women change their faces faster than reading books. Why do I think the head of the Xu family changes his faces faster than women...
I bowed and said, "Uncle taught me the most."
At this moment, Xiaolei walked over from a distance. After seeing me, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and a sneer appeared. It seemed that he knew about my lung failure. When he got closer, he said to the head of the Xu family: "Uncle, I have already thought about it. Due to the competition regulations, the contestants must be members of the family, so I want to let Sister Ningrou marry my second senior brother, and then let the second senior brother represent the Xu family..."
"Stop!" The head of the Xu family shouted: "Bastard! Ningrou and Xiaolong are already engaged and are about to hold a wedding. You dare to talk nonsense again and serve the family law!"
Xiaolei opened his mouth in surprise, as if he didn't understand why his uncle's attitude changed so quickly, which was beyond his expectations. Xiaolei turned his head to me, and I shrugged and said, "Little brother, are you very idle? You have nothing to do, so you help me find a rival in love all day? As a brother-in-law, I have to advise you that you always provoke others like this. If you encounter a tough guy one day, you may have to pay a heavy price!"
"You..." Xiaolei looked at the head of the Xu family: "Uncle, this waste is terminally ill and will be in a few days. Do you really want to marry Sister Ningrou to this waste?"
Xiaolei slaps a piece of waste, and my face also became gloomy...
