Star Sea Lord

Zhou's mansion.

In the study, Zhou Jiyuan quietly examined a list of supplies in his hand, with no expression on Qingjun's face.Zhou Lingfeng sat opposite him, waiting patiently.

After a while, the door opened, and the butler came in, saluted and asked softly, "Patriarch, do you need me?"

Without raising his head, Zhou Jiyuan asked in a flat voice: "Did the batch of supplies you arranged yesterday be delivered to the Jixing Temple?"

"Your Excellency, patriarch, due to the variety of materials on the list, it is difficult to sort them out for a while! In addition, a few precious products are out of stock, so they have not been sent yet!" the butler said respectfully. [

"Out of stock?" Zhou Jiyuan raised his eyebrows and asked calmly:

"I seem to remember that the family's transport fleet arrived in the imperial capital a few days ago and brought back all the resource income from the family's territory this year! Even for those high-value resources, there are still a lot of income in the warehouse. Why did it only take a few days? Kung fu, it’s out of stock?”

"This..." The steward's voice faltered, and he explained immediately:

"Your Excellency the patriarch, according to the practice of previous years, some of these resources will be set aside to reward members who have contributed to the family, some will be used to trade and exchange with other families, and the rest will be stored in the treasury! All accounts have been cleared. Make a list and make a balance! Therefore, it is difficult for subordinates to make decisions!"

"Difficult to decide?" Zhou Jiyuan frowned secretly, and asked again:

"But I heard that the young master of the Liu family suddenly said that he wanted to buy some things from the family, including Eleven kinds of rare resources, such as Posella crystal sand, Xixi stone, and Candle vine, and the quantity is not large. It seems that there are few! And these, but I have specially ordered that they should be given priority to the Temple of the Stars! I don’t know why you have to arrange it like this?”

The housekeeper was startled, and hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, the Liu family has cooperated with the family for many years, and there have been many such business contacts over the years! Therefore, this transaction, the subordinates have already agreed to them in advance!"

Zhou Lingfeng drank his tea with his head down.There was a slight coldness in the corner of his mouth.

Zhou Jiyuan didn't make a sound, and silently looked at the old man who had followed him for many years with sharp eyes, and said after a long while: "It's hard for you to think carefully! Hmm! You have been with me for many years, right? No credit but hard work, So I think it is necessary to reward you well!"

The housekeeper faintly felt that something was wrong, and said humbly: "It is the duty of subordinates to contribute to the family!"

"Rewards for meritorious deeds. Punishments for demerits! Only when rewards and punishments are clearly defined can the justice and authority of the upper echelons of the family be reflected!" Zhou Jiyuan said lightly,

"Since you are so good at planning for the family, why don't I give you the position of patriarch! From now on, I will leave it to you to be the master of the family's affairs! How about it?"

The butler's face turned pale, and he hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, Patriarch. This is unavoidable! The subordinates will never dare to have such unreasonable thoughts!"

"You also know that this is an unreasonable idea?" Zhou Jiyuan's voice turned cold,

"Did you ever have such an idea when you were making decisions without authorization? You dared to agree to such an important business without knowing the family! Who gave you the power? To leak family secrets to foreign children without permission, In vain you have the nerve to call yourself a member of the family!"

"What? This... this..." The butler's face finally changed color, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

Zhou Jiyuan threw the list in front of him, and said with a sneer: "Don't be surprised! As early as more than a year ago, someone suspected you! It's just that I have been holding back, because you have worked hard for the family for many years. I'll give you a chance, I hope you can find your way back, but unfortunately, you finally let me down!"

"You should know that the family prepared this material for Xiao Junling! But you gave the list to the third son of the Liu family privately, and then that guy took some cheap souvenirs. You plan to take the items on the list. All those scarce resources are exchanged! As for the tens of millions of benefits given to you, it must have already entered your bank account, right?"

"And usually, you tell that guy about the whereabouts of the second lady, and even install bugs in her residence. Needless to say, these things! I really don't understand, what is wrong with the family? You want to do this Eating inside and out?” [

"..." The housekeeper's face was ashen, and he deliberately opened the door to escape.But looking at Uncle Qing standing beside him, and Zhou Lingfeng above him, he finally lost his mind.Dejectedly said:

"That's all! Your Excellency, Patriarch, I am the one who has failed the family! I...I..."

Zhou Jiyuan looked at him regretfully.He waved his hand and said, "Uncle Qing, take him out! Ask all the questions clearly, and then hand it over to the family council to decide how to deal with this guy!"

Uncle Qing nodded silently, two high-ranking supernatural beings came in outside the door, and pushed the ashen-faced housekeeper out.

"The child is going to leave after the next year!" Zhou Lingfeng put down the teacup in his hand, and said leisurely:

"With that kid Zhou Yun by his side, there's nothing to worry about! However, which star field he plans to go to, hasn't he made up his mind yet?"

Zhou Jiyuan looked at him and said: "He has his own plans for this matter, and I won't ask too much! Hmm! I heard that the man gave him a war fortress, and several other families have expressed it. Our Zhou family can't If you’re being stingy, give him another batch of energy crystals! Anyway, there’s enough space in that big guy! Don’t be afraid that it won’t fit!”

Zhou Lingfeng nodded, and said with some emotion: "It's really unexpected that this child's strength will improve so quickly! My current injury is almost healed! The vitality of the seventh level is rejuvenated, and the effect is really extraordinary!"

"I really look forward to seeing how many surprises he can bring us in the future!"

fourth planet.

In a high-end club in Tianjing City, the saint girl Yan Li sat leaning away, casually looking at the crowd on the street below, and then turned her head for a while, squinted her eyes slightly, and stared at the boy sitting opposite. , chuckled and said:

"Sure enough, it has broken through! It seems that the effect of that thing is good!"

Xiao Junling asked: "Could it be that you released those things at the auction?"

"Of course, there are also your pair of wrist guards. Although they belong to your human world, that Your Highness fell into the hands of our North Hell Prison powerhouse!" Yan Li said bluntly.

"Why do you do this? Don't you know that this is tantamount to helping me?" Xiao Junling asked curiously.

"Your talent is doomed, even if you don't have these resources, it is only a matter of time to advance! Your teacher will not be stingy with you!" Yan Li said with a smile.

"Besides, I really spent too much in those days. You Huaxia officials have too much appetite and are only willing to charge energy points! Sister, I have no choice but to sell some things for money!"

"..." Xiao Junling sighed and didn't say anything else.

"In a few days, sister, I'm going back!" Yan Li said again. "So before I leave, come and see you, and negotiate a deal with you by the way!"

"What do you want to talk about?" Xiao Junling's expression suddenly became vigilant.

Yan Li blinked her eyes, covered her mouth with a light smile and said, "Don't be so nervous, I won't let you do anything against the principles! I just want to exchange something with you!" [

"what?"

"All the items on that sixth prince fell into your hands, including the high-grade potions in that batch of dimensional space necklaces, right?" the saint said solemnly.

Xiao Junling nodded, this may be a secret, but she must know it.

"Very good, I need that batch of medicine now!" Yan Li said,

"Give it to me! I will give you a price that satisfies you! According to the past traditions of the two countries, captives with high enough status can be exchanged for freedom with ransom. Including their equipment and items! As long as The price is right, such an exchange is not against the principle! What do you think?"

"Is there something in it that moves your heart?" Xiao Junling asked curiously.

He has seen all those things, although they are precious, but with Yan Li's identity, they are nothing!There are only three bottles of special medicine with the royal emblem, which seems a little unusual, because the energy pressure inside is too strong!

"Yes, I need those three bottles of Holy Blood Flame!" Yan Li didn't hide it.

"That's the holy medicine secreted by the royal family. It's hard to get it in our temple! So I must get this!"

"You've told me everything, so you're not afraid of me asking the price all over the sky?" Xiao Junling asked with a smile.

Yanli rolled his eyes at him charmingly, and said with a smile: "Okay! You can call! As long as you dare to accept, I will dare to give it away!"

"...Okay!" Xiao Junling shook his head and said:

"I spent a lot of money on the things I bought from you last time. Just return the money to me! These medicines are all yours!"

"that's it?"

"Yes, that's it!"

"That's weird, why don't you ask for more?" Yan Li asked with great interest, "Sister, I'm already ready to be ruthlessly slaughtered by you!"

"Do you like being slaughtered very much? What if I ask for the price, but you can't give it?" Xiao Junling said a little bit.

"I can't give it..." Yan Li pretended to have a headache and thought for a while, her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up:

"Yes! Then I will mortgage my sister to you as part of the ransom! How about it? Isn't this a good proposal?"

"... Forget it, pretend I didn't say it!" Xiao Junling rolled his eyes, and took out the potions from the dimensional space bracelet and handed them to her.

After she checked, the beautiful tentacles handed over a box:

"Sister, I have no money now! There are [-] kilograms of star zirconia jade and [-] star-patterned carbon crystals, which can be regarded as ransom! No problem?"

"Alright!" Xiao Junling took the box, but her wrist was entangled tightly.

"One last time! Is it okay?" She looked at the boy anxiously and asked.

He sighed and said nothing.Yanli cheered, and Tankou couldn't wait to get closer, her white and neat white teeth bit through the blood vessels, and sucked with intoxication on her face.

"...Sure enough, after the advanced stage, the taste is much stronger!" She watched the boy withdraw his wrist reluctantly, and said quietly:

"I don't know when I will have the chance to taste it again!"

Xiao Junling snorted: "There is no chance! Unless you Beiming Prisoners can break into the imperial capital!"

"Of course, there will be such a day! Just wait for me!" Yan Li said fiercely, hugged him again and kissed him before getting up and leaving in a hurry! (To be continued.
