Chapter 50 50. Cooperation of interests
The killer heard Zhang Xun's voice and expressed his origin in one word. He stared at him for a long time before leaving. It was just the departure back and the ashamed look, even if even Zhang Xun was trembling. The killer's meaning was obvious. Zhang Xun knew it clearly, but he did not look panic. Instead, he calmly took out the standing card from the martial arts arena from his arms. A shiny light flashed in the killer's eyes, and turned around and disappeared among the busy crowds in Qingshan Town. After Zhang Xun sighed peacefully, he looked at the departure back calmly, as if there was a different meaning.
"Killer, Taishan Tower, it's interesting. Is Xinghun very lively here?"
When Xinghun, who picked up the ancient books, heard Zhang Xun's voice from afar, he smiled in a daze. He pointed to the wooden chair next to him, and when he put down the ancient books in his hand, he smiled at Zhang Xun: "Master Zhang, since he has arrived, why not sit down and taste Axue's skills."
A calm smile was filled with the outstanding demeanor of a handsome young man, his snow-white robe was bright and beautiful, and he was a gentle and elegant young man from a noble family. At least in Zhang Xun's eyes, Xinghun now does not look like a martial artist, but rather a scholar who specializes in academic studies for many years. It seems that he is powerless, but judging from the messy traces in the store, Xinghun has already fought with the killer just now. Zhang Xun glanced slightly and saw that the killer was a high-level warrior in the warrior realm.
Taishan Tower is the highest killer organization in the Central Plains world. Wherever it can come from, it must be extraordinary. Rather than being aware of Xinghun, it is better to have confidence in Taishan Tower. Xinghun is clean and beautiful at this moment, obviously not as good as not doing his best. Moreover, the killer was seriously injured, and obviously suffered a great loss. It seems that after leaving the martial arts arena, Xinghun's martial arts have made a new breakthrough. Zhang Xun had long seen Xinghun's extraordinaryness, but never realized that after being assassinated, Xinghun not only did not have any sense of crisis as being targeted by the killer, but could also chat with him calmly.
"Young Master Yanyu invites you, so Zhang will naturally not refuse." Zhang Xun sat down in a word. Bai Xue, with the man's heroic spirit, and with white and tender hands, came over to put it in front of the two of them. Then she held the tea set and made tea soup with Chuyang Dew.
"It's really bad, the water is good, and the tea brewers have better skills, but the tea level is too poor." There have been rumors in Qingshan Town that Zhang Xun is a master of tea ceremony. At this moment, Xinghun realized what it means to be true. The level of cultivation and comprehending is still low. Although Bai Xue's dedicated training, Xinghun's understanding is still far from enough. When talking about tea ceremony in front of Zhang Xun, Xinghun felt like he was showing off his skills.
"The first dew in Chuyang was brewing with the flying dragon soaring into the sky. It was the leaves of the Longjing before the rain in Taihu Lake. It was really a clumsy failure. If the young master is interested, I have the top-notch Longjing in front of the rain."
Not only can he tell the source of water in one word, he can also tell the way of making snow, and even the name of tea leaves. Zhang Xun deserves the title of tea master. However, these things are not the purpose of Xinghun invited him. He intends to go around the corner, and Zhang Xun's cultivation level has reached a higher level, and he can talk to him without any anxiety.
Instead of going around like this, Xinghun broke the deadlock and said with one single sword: "The tea ceremony is naturally the higher level of the Master Zhang. But these are not the purpose of my invitation to you."
"Well, the main topic is here, then the young master will talk about it!"
"You said three days before, and then told me three months later. Now I'm sending someone to come to me and leaving me with a lot of questions. Shouldn't the young master give me an explanation?"
Xinghun put down the tea soup with a calm expression and chuckled: "Can Master Zhang come, isn't this the best explanation I have given?"
Zhang Xun was stunned when he heard this, then looked at Xinghun with his eyes curled up, and the entire store suddenly fell into a quiet situation. The two of them looked at each other and laughed, as if the tea in their hands became more and more interesting. Xinghun's martial arts were actually nothing in his eyes. If Zhang Xun was interested, one move would be enough to take his life. Strictly speaking, Xinghun's identity is not even qualified to talk to him equally. The little yellow-card warrior is not qualified to negotiate conditions with his generation of players.
However, Xinghun's talent and extraordinary vision made him quite moved. He hadn't encountered such an interesting warrior for a long time. If Xinghun could benefit him, he wouldn't mind helping him. Since Xinghun revealed his identity as the murderer of the Zhao family, Zhang Xun has been staring at Xinghun. From the background of the peak of the mountain, he can also obtain the support of the guardian of the Xuan Iron Access Control Area and Bai Aotian's adopted daughter. It really took him a lot of effort to obtain this information.
"What do you need and what I can get, talk about your plans."
Compared to Xinghun's straightforward approach, Zhang Xun's behavior and words were more direct. Xinghun gently patted his hands, Bai Xue held a drawing and opened it on the desk. While picking up the tea soup to taste, she said: "We don't talk about the plan first, nor do we talk about the interests. Please check the drawing first, and let's talk about it."
He glanced at the drawings slightly, and at first Zhang Xun didn't care. The person in charge of the martial arts arena, and there were definitely many people and weapons he had seen. The finest products were beyond the imagination of others. Just with a drawing, Xinghun thought that it could impress him, so he thought it was too simple. Before coming here, he had some expectations, otherwise he would not have come with Bai Xue even if he was bored. Unexpectedly, he was disappointed in this trip.
"Two-edged sword"
When he noticed the name of the drawing, he checked it carefully. Unexpectedly, after careful examination, he actually gained unexpected results. It was still just a drawing, but he had already seen the power of this weapon. He seemed to have a familiar feeling. When he looked up, he found that this weapon was actually similar to the black and white fan of Xinghun.
However, this weapon is a fine product, and requires special martial arts and realm to perfectly exert the ability of the weapon. Many martial artists choose weapons, but few people know that the weapon will also choose the master. The main sword is the blade and the short sword is the auxiliary. The warrior has quite a few weapons in the process of fighting. If he can fully exert the ability of a two-edged sword, killing the enemy above the level is only between waving his hand.
"People, how about the two-edged sword I designed?"
Zhang Xun's eyes were filled with joy and exclaimed: "The concept is unique, can it be called a magic weapon? If it is combined with unique metal forging, it will definitely become a middle-grade magic weapon in the yellow level. If it is a physical object, I can roughly estimate the value, but now?"
"In seven days, you will be able to see the real thing."
"Oh! Is that right?" Zhang Xun said with a loud laugh.
"People, do you not believe in me? Or do you not believe in your own vision."
Zhang Xun laughed, rolled up the drawings, delivered them to Xinghun, and said, "I have seen the things, it's really good. Tell me about your conditions and plans!"
"I need the place where I forged weapons, and the cast metal material. In addition, I also need information on the fighting arena, as well as the support and help of the fighting arena."
After hearing this, Zhang Xun's face turned ugly, and his gloomy expression fully demonstrated his anger at this moment. The two-edged sword is indeed very good, but compared with Xinghun's requirements, the two are apart from each other. Not to mention a two-edged sword, even ten swords cannot compare to the conditions stated by Xinghun. He originally recognized it in his heart, but now Zhang Xun believes that the current Xinghun does not even have the minimum self-knowledge.
With this, Xinghun has already aroused his disgust.
"As far as I know, the martial arts arena has its own auction. It collects martial arts resources and magical weapons. If a two-edged sword is taken to the auction, it will definitely cause a sensation in Qingshan Town. Although a large number of weapons can obtain a lot of benefits, high-quality magical weapons are the key to gaining support from personal connections. The martial arts arena has never lacked those things, and it is only the combination of interests."
Xinghun reached Zhang Xun's thoughts, but he still had no intention of discussing it. He put down the tea soup in his hand and walked out of the store. Seeing Zhang Xun leaving, Xinghun had no intention of stopping it, but instead spoke leisurely. However, when his words fell, Zhang Xun's face looked better, and he turned around and sat down calmly.
"I know the owner's concerns. Although you are the person in charge, the fighting arena is not your one-man show. What I said before was just an appetizer, and the real main course is still behind?"
"What is the main dish? Tell me!"
Xinghun shook the black fan in his hand, and under the breeze, the black filaments on his head were flying up and down. The five fingers of his left hand hit the table with a rhythm, which had a taste of being in control.
"If you pay something, you will get something. Since I want to use the help of the owner, I will naturally pay a matching price. The two-edged sword is just a test. Every sixty days, I will give you a weapon that is opposite, and I will not accept anything for you at all for free. Of course, the power of your attack is equal to the value of the weapon. Such interests will be tied to cooperation until I leave Qingshan Town. I believe you will not refuse!"
If it is true as Xinghun said, the benefits obtained in the martial arts arena will never be small. When Zhang Xun was "exiled" to Qingshan Town, he no longer had hope in his heart. If he cooperated happily with Xinghun, there is hope to make his status higher. Yellow-level weapons are not precious, but weapons like the two-edged sword that contain special power are really of great value. Not only can he gain benefits, but he can also obtain some hidden resources as Xinghun said.
Without thinking, Zhang Xun nodded in agreement.
"People Zhang, then the cooperation will begin now."
"certainly."
When he picked up the tea soup again, Zhang Xun smelled a scent that had not been before, a smell that made him addicted to it. Xinghun did not disappoint him, and he also attached more importance to his cooperative relationship with Xinghun.
Xinghun suddenly remembered something, frowned slightly and asked, "Master, can you solve my doubts for me? What do the three words Taishan Tower mean?"
"Hey—" After a sigh, Zhang Xun didn't expect that Xinghun would still hear it. But it was nothing. He originally planned to remind him of this matter. If he named him now, his relationship would be more stable. After all, he was targeted by that place and even if he was not dead, he would have to peel off his skin. Living is the object of cooperation, and dead people are the objects of remembrance.
"Taishan Tower is a force composed of killers as you just saw. Its structure is not only close, but also comes without a trace. Even the identity of the killer is extremely mysterious. It is very likely that the people around you are one of them. The world has tried to destroy it, but they have risen several times like a hundred-legged insect that dies without being stagnant. In the eyes of Taishan Tower, there is no one to kill or not to kill. As long as someone releases a mission, it can pay enough price. Killers are like smelling bloody flies, which will make you assassinate if you can't defend against it."
"Taishan Tower will set different identities for the killer, and the location and personnel of each attack are different. If the target is not killed, the Taishan Tower will never give up. Every time it takes action, it will definitely be a deadly kill. Of course, the task is not static. If the benefits obtained are not equal to the target of the assassination, the Taishan Tower will give up on its target."
When talking about this, Zhang Xun glanced at Xinghun intentionally or unintentionally, and continued: "Same as the martial arts arena and the martial arts cultivation association, there are branches everywhere in the Central Plains. Taishan Restaurant is just an external concealment of identity, and its real background is a huge killer organization."
