Peerless Allure: Nine Series Summoner

Chapter 194
Early the next morning, Ling Lan packed her things early and waited for Zhou Zheng in the yard.

Last night, Ling Lan finally had time to count the "spoils" of this mercenary mission.

The bandit leader Najie and the things in the storage bag were in disarray, and it took Ling Lan more than half an hour to sort these things into categories.

In addition to a large number of gold coins and medicinal herbs, there are also some strange and mysterious things.

Ling Lan looked at those strange items over and over several times, but couldn't find anything.She simply left those in the corner of the storage bag and ignored them.

— No matter what it is for, just looking at the profound energy overflowing inside, you can tell that it must be a good thing.Since it's a good thing, let's keep it first.

As for the large sum of gold coins, maybe two or three monsters can be added to the "staff" in the black market.

Before making Ling Lan wait too long, Zhou Zheng came out of the room, followed by Xiao Xu.

Ling Lan frowned lightly - why is he everywhere?
The city lord personally sent the three of them out of the door, which can be said to have given enough face.On the street, Ling Lan wanted to say goodbye to Xiao Xu, but the other party stuck to him like brown sugar.

"I have nothing to do, so I'll follow you around." Xiao Xu boasted so boldly that Ling Lan was speechless for a while.

Ling Lan didn't know that when she was talking to Zhou Zheng yesterday, Xiao Xu was hiding outside and listening in the corner.

It is said that the big family is well educated, Xiao Xu should not do such rude things.

But when he thought of Ling Lan abandoning himself and talking to Zhou Zheng alone, Xiao Xu felt like a kitten was scratching his heart.

He was so curious that he had to listen to it.

Thus, Xiao Xu knew about Ling Lan's plan to recruit Zhou Zheng into his gang.

Xiao Xu was annoyed—thinking that he wanted to help Ling Lan complete the mercenary mission with good intentions at the beginning, but Ling Lan was lucky enough to forget him as an ally in a blink of an eye, and instead went to win others over.

It really makes no sense!

In terms of cultivation, he is indeed not as good as Zhou Zheng's junior Xuanzun, but he has the ability and magic weapon! That boy "Dijue" actually ignored him, did he have bad eyesight? !

Ling Lan is such a clever person, she didn't even need to ask Xiao Xu, she just thought about it a little, and guessed what the young master was awkward about.

The reason why she didn't invite Xiao Xu was because she felt that, with Xiao Xu's background, she simply didn't like the "small fights" of the underground black market.

She has this self-knowledge, so she doesn't make fun of herself.

Xiao Xu followed if he wanted to, but Ling Lan didn't say anything.Ling Lan didn't intend to deliberately hide the matter of the underground black market from Xiao Xu.After getting along during this time, she knew that Xiao Xu was not a long-tongued person.

——It was ignored!
Xiao Xu felt even more depressed.Could it be that he wasn't hinting clearly enough?Why is the boy "Dijue" still indifferent?
The three of them walked forward for a while, and Xiao Xu finally couldn't bear it anymore.He approached Ling Lan and spoke in a low voice: "I heard that you opened an underground black market in this Jiangshou city?"

Xiao Xu's voice was so small that only he and Ling Lan could hear it.

Ling Lan remained silent. In Xiao Xu's eyes, this reaction was an acquiescence.

"Hmph! You're lucky. Since you call me 'uncle', there is absolutely no reason for me to stand by and do nothing. In the future, I will give you more advice on the affairs of the underground black market."

This is what it means to actively join.

Ling Lan was a little dumbfounded—this Xiao Xu really had the heart of a child.Obviously he himself was curious and awkward, and wanted to join the underground black market like Zhou Zheng, but he still had to act like "my lord, I think highly of you".

He proposed so carelessly that he wanted to take the initiative to join. Could it be that he was sure that he would not argue with him or reject him?

Regarding Xiao Xu's statement, Ling Lan was noncommittal.She didn't expressly refuse, which finally made Xiao Xu feel a little better.

——He knew that Ling Lan must be afraid that he would reject her request, so he didn't ask her.However, I am an elder, how can I care about it like a child?
Ling Lan knew without thinking that Xiao Xu must be immersed in self-satisfaction and unable to extricate himself.

Ling Lan has long been used to his childlike nature, and at the same time, she has deeply doubted the way of raising children in a higher country.

……

In the Zhaocai Building, the veterans of the underground black market had already gathered in one place.A few days ago, they received a secret message from Ling Lan, saying that they would hold a meeting today.

This Zhaocai building was originally an anonymous small building, which was only used for Mr. Fu to discuss matters with everyone.After Mr. Fu surrendered to Ling Lan, every plant and tree in the underground black market became Ling Lan's private property, including this nameless small building.

One afternoon, Ling Lan got excited, and with a flick of a pen, the plaque of "Zhaocai Building" was hung on the lintel.

At the beginning, there were people who disliked the name as vulgar, both openly and secretly.But after Ling Lan paid for it out of his own pocket and equipped everyone with beasts of the corresponding level, no one said anything bad.

It was the same this time, Ling Lan said that he wanted to discuss matters, and the big guys waited in the Zhaocai Building without any complaints.

From a distance, he saw Ling Lan in a black robe leading two young people walking towards this side, Mr. Fu went downstairs first to greet her.

"Master, you are back." Mr. Fu was old and calm, and could control his emotions well, but the younger Zhuo Xuanqi had already had red eyes.

"Miss, everyone is worried about you these days when you are not here." Zhuo Xuanqi's temperament is already weak, but now her eyes are red, and I feel pity for her. It looks like Ling Lan bullied her like.

Zhou Zheng and Xiao Xu, who were following Ling Lan, were not overly surprised when they heard a gray-haired old man call Ling Lan "Master".

After all, they had already experienced Ling Lan's strength in the Lost Soul Forest.

But Zhuo Xuanqi's "Miss" really surprised Zhou Zheng and Xiao Xu.

——The mercenary "Di Jue" who killed the murderous bandit leader turned out to be a girl? !

Zhou Zheng rubbed his ears, suspecting several times that he had auditory hallucinations.Such a powerful and decisive master is actually a daughter.

But she looks like she is only sixteen or seventeen years old, right?At such a young age, how could the elders in the family rest assured that she would go out alone?
That's not right, she is so good at martial arts, I'm afraid she won't be able to reach Xuanzun's cultivation level in a short time, such a genius, the family has nothing to worry about...

Ling Lan didn't know, because Zhuo Xuanqi's title made Zhou Zheng think a lot in a mess.

Ling Lan didn't intend to hide the fact that she was a girl from Zhou Zheng.

No need to suspect, no doubt about employing people, she would invite Zhou Zheng to join the underground black market, not only because of his advanced cultivation, but also because she believed in Zhou Zheng's character.

What's more, trust is mutual.Zhou Zheng was already hers, so he definitely didn't have the reason to guard against his subordinates like guarding against thieves.

Led by Ling Lan, everyone sat down in turn.Ling Lan first listened to everyone's brief report on the operation of the underground black market while she was away, and then introduced Zhou Zheng and Xiao Xu who came back with her to everyone.

When everyone learned that the unremarkable Zhou Zheng was actually a junior Xuanzun, they all showed surprise on their faces.

But after the surprise, there is sincere joy.Among them, Mr. Fu was the most emotional.

——He really read it right, the master is a man of great ability!How long has it been since the master took over the underground black market before he found a strong Xuanzun to be his guest?

This incident really surprised everyone.Back then, they didn't recognize Ling Lan, thinking that she was just a little girl, how could she manage the underground black market well?

Some people even secretly speculated that Mr. Fu would regret the decision he made in the first place before long.

But now, in just a few months, under the leadership of Ling Lan, the underground black market has undergone earth-shaking changes.

First, they bought all kinds of monsters and spirit beasts in large quantities, and now they have a strong Xuanzun as their guest... In the past, this was something they would not even have dared to think about.

Now, everyone's admiration and respect for Ling Lan has increased a bit.

If it is said that assigning a beast to each of the staff of the underground black market is to make the underground black market to a higher level, then Zhou Zheng's joining at this moment will make the underground black market even more powerful.

I believe it won't be long before the underground black market will become famous in Jiangshou City, and even in the entire Yongyi Kingdom...

The more Mr. Fu thought about it, the more he felt relieved, he stroked his beard and smiled from ear to ear.

"Miss, our name will become more and more famous in the future. We can't still call it 'black market' or 'underground black market', right? Come and give us a famous name!"

Pei Shaoyong proposed to Ling Lan.Because of excitement, his face became more and more red.

Hearing Pei Shaoyong mention this all of a sudden, the rest of the people also agreed. The "underground black market" sounds like a small fight, not formal enough.

Ling Lan thought for a moment: "Then call it 'Qianjinfang'!"

Ling Lan thought of the open space in the mountains that was opened for the opening of the market, and felt that the names "what building" and "what pavilion" were not appropriate enough, so she simply named it after "fang" in a more grand manner.

"When all the money is gone, it will come back." I hope that the underground black market can make a lot of money and make money every day.

——At this moment, Ling Lan, who has the beautiful vision of "making big money", still doesn't know that in the next few years, Qianjinfang will develop and grow into one of the most powerful forces in the world.
