Emperor Qiankun

Chapter 266: The fool lies and his family betrays Zhu Li

Canglan City, Treasure Pavilion, in a private room.

"Mr. Li, do you not trust me?"

Yue Qinghuan's beautiful eyes moved, as if she saw through the hesitation in Li Qingyuan's heart, and she opened her red lips and said angrily.

"How dare you, how dare you."

Li Qingyuan waved his hands hurriedly, with a perfect smile on his face and sincere words.

"After all, he is my master. As a disciple, I should show more filial piety. This is my duty."

His answer was flawless. He cleverly concealed his inner doubts and demonstrated his filial piety, leaving no room for fault.

Yue Qinghuan didn't want to delve into it any further, so she nodded slightly and said:

"Well...then go to Senior Hua and discuss it with him."

"Thank you Miss Yue for your understanding." Li Qingyuan bowed.

......

As he was speaking, the door of the private room was pushed open with a creaky sound, and Old Yellow Ox and the maid Xiaozhi walked in together.

The old ox's big face was full of uncontrollable excitement, like a cat that had stolen some fish. It was obvious at a glance that he had collected a lot of good things outside.

The maid Xiaozhi behind him looked at Yue Qinghuan with a flickering gaze, her lips slightly parted, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.

Li Qingyuan saw all this and said:

"Old... Yunxu, how much did you take from them? Hurry up and settle the accounts. You have to pay for it yourself."

"Master... Young Master, I really didn't take much, just this."

As Old Ox spoke, he reluctantly took out a dozen items from his space ring and placed them on the table.

There are sparkling spiritual beads, exquisitely carved magical instruments, and several very old spiritual herbs, each of which is of great value.

At this moment, Xiao Zhi, the maid behind him, turned cold and murmured:

"You fool, why did you lie? You clearly..."

But before she could finish her words, the old ox suddenly turned around and stared at her with a pair of big eyes like copper bells.

Although he didn't make a sound, he carried an invisible sense of oppression, which frightened Xiaozhi so much that she fell silent instantly and took a step back.

......

Li Qingyuan felt annoyed when he saw this.

He casually swirled the wool blanket he had just collected in his hands, infused it with profound energy, and threw it fiercely towards the old ox.

The wool blanket drew a parabola in the air and with a "bang", hit the old ox's head hard.

Although the old ox had thick skin and flesh and suffered no substantial injuries, its head was still hit a little sideways.

He turned his head angrily and glared at Li Qingyuan, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

The look on his face seemed to be saying, "How dare you lay hands on me!"

"What? Wasn't what he said right? Why are you glaring at him? Are you trying to bully the weak?"

Li Qingyuan was so angry that he pointed at the old ox and scolded him,

"Look at you, a big guy like you, how dare you bully a weak woman?"

"You have no shame, but I still want it! Apologize now!"

After hearing this, the old ox seemed to realize that what he had done was wrong.

He scratched his head with a silly smile, looked at the maid Xiaozhi, and said, "I..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw Xiao Zhi lowering her head, her voice as thin as a mosquito: "It's okay, it's okay... I'm really okay."

......

Li Qingyuan wanted to say something, but Yue Qinghuan spoke at the right time:

"Alright, alright, we're all family, don't be so formal, just take what's yours."

"My own home?" Li Qingyuan was stunned when he heard this, his face full of confusion.

"No, what I mean is, I have plenty of money... Never mind, just take it. If you need it, feel free to take it!"

Yue Qinghuan raised her jade hand, acting like she was a rich girl!

When Old Yellow Ox heard this, his eyes lit up instantly. He walked over to Yue Qinghuan with two steps, smiling broadly, and flattered her:

"Miss Yue, you are generous, righteous, and unconcerned with trivial matters. You are a heroine..."

"Unlike someone who is stingy, petty, and always bullies an honest person like me..."

As he spoke, he glanced at Li Qingyuan, deliberately adding fuel to the fire.

Yue Qinghuan giggled, and her maid Xiaozhi also smiled.

But Li Qingyuan felt a little amused and helpless when he heard the old ox's words.

"So I'm the bad guy?"

Then he looked at the old ox and scolded him with a smile: "You old ox, you are full of rebellious bones!"

But the old ox put on an attitude of "hit me if you want", which made Li Qingyuan really want to hit him again.

......

At this moment, the door of the private room was pushed open again, and a beautiful woman walked in with two maids.

This beautiful woman was none other than Zhu Li, the shopkeeper of the Treasure Pavilion in Canglan City, and her appearance was exactly the same as Yue Qinghuan's previous disguise.

She has a pretty face and delicate features. She is wearing an indigo skirt with intricate patterns embroidered on the hem, which sways gently as she walks.

Her black hair was tied up high and inserted with a jade hairpin, adding a touch of elegance.

Perhaps because she has been active in the business world for many years, her every move and gesture reveals the composure and majesty of a superior.

He exudes a graceful and elegant temperament that makes people respect him unconsciously.

Zhu Li walked into the private room, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, and he asked:

"Who is Li Qingyuan, Li Xiaoyou?"

Before Li Qingyuan could speak, Yue Qinghuan stood up and walked quickly to Zhu Li's side. She took her hand affectionately and said coquettishly:

"Aunt Zhu, what are you doing?"

......

Zhu Li took Yue Qinghuan's hand in his backhand, patted it gently, smiled, and said softly:

"What's the matter? I'm just asking, Xiao Qinghuan, why are you so nervous?"

As soon as these words came out, Yue Qinghuan's earlobe instantly turned red, and then spread to the entire ear and then to both cheeks...

At this moment, Li Qingyuan also stood up, walked forward, bowed, and said:

"Junior Li Qingyuan, nice to meet you, Senior."

"I'm not some senior... I'm not that old."

"My name is Zhu Li. If you don't mind, you can just call me Aunt Zhu like Xiao Qinghuan."

Zhu Li looked at Li Qingyuan gently, "He is a handsome young man. Xiao Qinghuan has good taste."

"But, appearance is only basic, inner qualities are more important, this point..."

Before she could finish her words, Yue Qinghuan blushed and pushed Zhu Li with both hands, half coquettishly and half anxiously pushing her out of the private room, mumbling: "Aunt Zhu, please stop talking..."

Li Qingyuan stood there, bewildered and confused. What on earth was going on?!

Not long after, Yue Qinghuan came back with a red face. After calming down, she said, "We should go..."

So, the group quickly left the Treasure Pavilion.

Yue Qinghuan and her maid Xiaozhi walked in front to lead the way, and the two of them were laughing.

Li Qingyuan and Lao Huangniu walked behind, and silence was golden for them!
