The Dominance of Martial Arts: Starting from the Tiger Roaring Golden Bell

Chapter 244: Different interests, testing each other to conceal the truth
Wuji Realm, Chenhuan City.

There is a lot of space in the sedan chair, you can sit or lie down, and the cushion under you is extremely soft.

Since the sedan chair was carried by people at the Bone Training Realm, Qin Zhiming did not feel any shaking as it moved forward.

He opened the curtains on both sides of the sedan chair for viewing and ventilation, and watched the things passing by quickly in the outside world.

The building materials, decorations and scale here are far beyond Chaolan County.

Different streets have different functions.

The only similarity is that it is also divided into outer city area and inner city area.

The most obvious feature of the two areas is that the exterior decorations of the buildings in the two areas are completely different.

The facades of the outer city are decorated mainly with stone, wood and copper, while the inner city is decorated mainly with precious treasures such as silver, gold and jade.

Some buildings are even inlaid with countless gems and pearls of the same size and color.

Soon, the two sedan chairs arrived in front of an area that looked like a garden.

The area is surrounded by a stone wall formed by huge square white rocks several meters high standing side by side.

At the entrance of the area, there are two white stone towers about ten meters high.

In the middle of the stone tower is a huge colorful door carved with countless auspicious objects of different colors.

The moment the warrior on the stone tower saw the two sedan chairs, he hurriedly rang the copper bell beside him.

With the clear and pleasant sound of bells, four warriors on both sides of the colorful gate slowly opened it.

The timing of opening the door was just right for the two sedan chairs to enter at a constant speed.

"As expected of a noble family, the gatekeepers are all trained warriors."

Not long after Qin Zhiming muttered to himself, the sedan chair slowly stopped.

He got off the sedan chair and looked towards the mansion in front of him.

"Excuse me, two believers, do you live together in the same mansion or separately?"

Looking at the beautiful woman who has been waiting in front of the mansion for a long time.

Sikong Wan looked around:
"Live together, where is this?"

“This is the residence of the Sikong family that is used to receive distinguished guests. Although it is not the largest residence of the Sikong family, it is the most secretive place.

Anything that happens in the mansion will not be spread to the outside world."

The woman pointed to something and made a gesture of invitation by turning sideways.

Sikong Wan didn't move, but turned his head and stared at Qin Zhiming.

Seeing Qin Zhiming moving forward, she immediately followed him.

Looking at this scene, a strange look flashed in the woman's eyes.

The two entered the mansion and were greeted by several girls in veiled clothing.

The veil was as thin as a cicada's wing, making the girl's body vaguely visible.

Facing the girl, the two had different reactions.

Qin Zhiming wanted to reach out his hand, but just as he did so, he pulled it back.

Sikong Wan stood behind Qin Zhiming without any reaction.

The woman who followed the two men into the mansion smiled slightly:
"Excuse me, two believers, when will the offerings be checked on October 1st?"

"Chenshi (7 to 9 a.m.)"

"When the time comes, I will send someone to pick up the two believers."

After the woman finished speaking, she bowed her head towards the two men and stepped back.

After the woman left, Qin Zhiming couldn't wait to sit on the chair and hug the two girls in his arms.

"Stop looking so sullen and sit down.

Tsk tsk tsk, Chen Huan City is indeed worthy of its reputation, even the servants have such smooth and soft skin. "

The two girls in his arms looked at each other and spoke in a tender voice.

The two of them inadvertently revealed their status as virgins in a coquettish way, and how much the Sikong family attached importance to the relationship between Qin Zhiming and Sikong Wan.

This made Qin Zhiming laugh out loud, and he hugged the two of them tighter.

"Am I right? This is a good job. How can it be as serious as you say?"

Sikong Wan ignored the girl next to him and spoke coldly:

“Although Brother Qin is also from an aristocratic family, please do not use this as an excuse to protect the Sikong family.

Guanli, we were sent here for important matters, not for pleasure."

Qin Zhiming snorted disdainfully.

“That is, you, a believer who is encountering this matter for the first time, will take it as a serious matter.

Every once in a while, Wuji Temple would send believers from outside the city to check the offerings, which was a common occurrence.

We were both lucky enough to draw Dust City, so we can enjoy ourselves.

Unlike other people in the temple, the place he went to was not as prosperous as Youyou City.

You and I can just stay here and go back on October 1st after going through the formalities.

I'm telling you the truth, don't think of using this matter to show off.

If we really anger the noble families here, I'm afraid neither you nor I can bear the consequences."

“They dare to attack believers?”

"Of course they don't dare to kill us, but they can use their connections to make things difficult for us after we return to Youyou City. I advise you to be as blind as I am when checking the offerings.

Otherwise, by then, it won’t just be the noble families of Chenhuan City who will make things difficult for you.”

"You!" Sikong Wan suddenly stood up and pointed at Qin Zhiming.

Seeing that Qin Zhiming ignored her, she pushed the girls away angrily and left.

Half an hour later, in the living room of Sikong's house.

Sikong Yu, who learned from the woman everything that happened in the mansion, nodded expressionlessly.

"Okay, you go down."

After the woman who reported the situation left, the great elder who had supported him took the lead in launching the attack, followed by other elders.

“Master, I have said before that there is no need to gather all those offerings.

What was the result? The head of the family insisted on doing what he wanted for Wan'er, but fortunately it was not too late.

Hurry up and hide some of the offerings that the tribe has painstakingly gathered to reduce the tribe’s losses.”

"Yes, this move can also alleviate the resentment of the tribe members."

"As for your decision this time, Patriarch, it was wrong. How about handing over part of your property to make up for the loss of your clan property?"

"I think it's okay."

"No, the offerings must be handed in truthfully."

Sikong Yu's words interrupted the discussion of the elders.

"If the offerings are handed in truthfully this time, I will voluntarily abdicate next year regardless of the outcome."

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd burst into an uproar.

The clan elder narrowed his legs and looked at Sikong Yu.

After a moment, he didn't see anything and pounded the crutch in his hand hard.

The crutch hit the ground, making a crisp sound.

boom!
The elders stopped talking abruptly and all looked at the chief elder.

"Since the head of the family has made up his mind, we elders should obey."

To hand over the offerings truthfully would require the consumption of 50% of the clan's current assets.

Once you become the head of the family, you will be able to obtain all the family property in the future.

The elders of the tribe can clearly distinguish what is more important.

Then, the elders, each with their own thoughts, stood up, bowed and said:
"I will obey the order of the master!"

September 30th, hall.

"What does this mean?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the beautiful woman from yesterday hurriedly pushed the pretty girl standing next to her into Qin Zhiming's arms.

Qin Zhiming froze, horrified:

"We are all warriors of the same realm, there is no need to make such jokes, right?"

"I'm not kidding. I heard that Brother Qin once killed two warriors of the same level by himself. I really admire you."

The pretty girl hugged Qin Zhiming's neck and spoke softly.

“Believers are warriors who practice martial arts, so they definitely don’t like ordinary people.

It just so happens that Fei'er has admired you for a long time.

I will do you a favor and bring her to you."

Afterwards, Qin Zhiming accepted this matter calmly.

The woman changed the subject and looked at Sikong Wan.

“This believer, I heard that you wanted some elixirs a few days ago?

Look, how about these?"

As soon as the woman finished speaking, a girl in light gauze walked in from outside and placed two exquisite white jade gourds next to Sikong Wan.

“These are the elixirs commonly used by the Sikong family’s marrow-training warriors.

In terms of medicinal power, although it is not as good as those used by disciples of immortal sects, it is comparable to the common elixirs sold on the market."

Sikong Wan stared at the pill, his face full of confusion.

Finally, after the woman's persuasion, he sighed and nodded.

"Then I would like to not disturb the two believers. Goodbye."

Watching the woman's back as she left, Qin Zhiming raised the corners of his mouth:
"Your family is really capable. They found out the identities that the temple fabricated for us so quickly."

While Qin Zhiming was speaking, the pretty girl in his arms had dull eyes, as if she was in a daze.
