C210 Insatiable Greed

"Are you done pretending? Now that everyone's gone, shouldn't you act?"    

    

The night was thick, and in the blink of an eye, it was already deep into the night. Ever since he was punched by Lingling, Xiao Chen rolled his eyes and fainted.    

    

After receiving the news of Xiao Chen's return, Old Master Zhang handed the matter to Zhang Xiaoxiao and personally rushed over.    

    

But Xiao Chen slept like a dead pig, so tired that the old man had waited until now.    

    

It was only at this moment that the chaotic and noisy courtyard finally quieted down.    

    

Looking left and right, he was the only one left in the room. Only then did the old man pull out his hand and push Xiao Chen's arm, saying snappily.    

    

Hearing this, Xiao Chen yawned and opened his eyes. He propped himself up and sat up a little.    

    

"I can't hide anything from you. With my acting skills, it looks like I still need to train."    

    

"It's not about acting skills." Old Master Zhang said calmly, "Did you do what the Green Society did? How could he be knocked out by a girl when he was injured and could deal with so many experts? You are just fooling Yu and the others. "    

    

"You are very observant. I am just trying to show off in front of an expert, am I right? By the way, how are the two women? "    

    

"Don't worry, they said they wanted to kill you, but in the end, they still didn't make a move. The moment that little girl from the Ruan family arrived, she stabilized them. At least for now, she hasn't shown any killing intent towards you."    

    

Old Master Zhang said in a calm voice, breaking Xiao Chen's thoughts.    

    

Xiao Chen opened his mouth and wanted to ask something, but the old man didn't wait for him to speak and continued.    

    

"Also, Jiang Loong has been guarding outside. I think the worry on his face is true. As for those from the Sly Devil Sect, they didn't have any intention to take advantage of the situation. Lastly, since I have been guarding this place, I think you should understand now. "    

    

After saying that last sentence, the old man couldn't help but roll his eyes.    

    

That's right, the reason Xiao Chen pretended to faint was to test the reactions of all parties.    

    

This was also the first time that he had brought all the forces under his control to the surface.    

    

He had suffered a serious injury in the eyes of outsiders. It would be a waste if he didn't take the opportunity to test the reaction of these people.    

    

"What about Gu Changfeng and Lin Xie?"    

    

"Seeing me, even if they have thoughts, do they still dare to show them?" The old man said casually.    

    

Xiao Chen was slightly stunned and smiled sheepishly. He had forgotten about this matter.    

    

The old man's expression changed and his tone became serious all of a sudden. He said in a deep voice, "If the higher ups of Green Society are eliminated, I'm afraid they will fall into internal strife for a period of time. However, this enmity isn't small. I'm afraid that there will be many people looking for you in order to get promoted. "    

    

"Don't worry. The Green Society will be gone in the future. We don't have to deal with the remaining prawn soldiers and crab generals."    

    

Obviously, the old master had not fully grasped the inside information.    

    

However, he was still an experienced person. After hearing what Xiao Chen said, he understood something and immediately said, "Are you talking about Ruan Hongyu?"    

    

"Other than her, there is someone else? By the way, how is the situation on your side?"    

    

"Forty died and over a hundred were injured. This debt of blood must be paid with blood by Muh family!"    

    

Speaking of this, Old Master Zhang's face suddenly turned gloomy and cold, and his tone was filled with killing intent.    

    

"There will always be a time to get it back! As for the matter that I told you about last time, how is it going?"    

    

"You're talking about the Health Potion?" The old man's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this. "The thing is a good thing, but it's not easy to completely change a person's cultivation constitution with just the medicine."    

    

"If it's simple, why should I hand it over to the Zhang's Pharmaceuticals?"    

    

Xiao Chen smiled faintly, but he didn't complain about the name of the Health Potion.    

    

Hearing this, the old man's expression changed. He glared at this fellow unhappily, but he did not take it to heart.    

    

Xiao Chen did not say anything else.    

    

However, when he saw that the old man had no intention of leaving, as well as the hint of hesitation on his face, Xiao Chen couldn't help but frown.    

    

"You didn't guard me all night just to remind me, right?"    

    

"I intend to introduce the other medicinal formulas to the market after that. That's why I want to ask for your opinion. "    

    

"Since the medicinal formulas have been handed over to you, I won't interrupt. As long as you don't forget my dividends, that's all." Xiao Chen smiled.    

    

The old man laughed as well, but his furrowed brows did not relax. He thought for a while before he continued.    

    

"Well, I also have a small matter that I need your help with."    

    

"Tell me about it." Seeing the old man stuttering, Xiao Chen became interested.    

    

The old man hesitated for a moment before explaining to Xiao Chen.    

    

In the end, the Zhang family could be considered half a martial cultivation family. Although it was not as strong as the 12 hidden families, it could still be considered a martial cultivation power.    

    

Two months later, there would be an exchange meeting between martial cultivation families.    

    

But because the Zhang family had suffered a great loss this time, the old man wanted Xiao Chen to represent the Zhang family to participate. Of course, the old man would also send someone to assist.    

    

After hearing this, Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed.    

    

He took a deep look at the old man before saying, "It's just an exchange meeting. Is there a need to invite me personally?"    

    

Xiao Chen was not stupid.    

    

The old man's expression was enough to show that although the Zhang family had suffered a great loss in this battle, their core force had not suffered much damage.    

    

Since that was the case, the old man from the Zhang family was still so serious. It was obvious that there was something fishy about this so-called meeting.    

    

"Actually, this is also a Exchange Conference. With so many families watching, how embarrassing would it be to lose? I just want you to help support the situation! "    

    

As the old man spoke, he swept a glance at Xiao Chen and added, "In addition, during the exchange, the dark market will open. Many treasures that have never been discovered before will be taken out to be exchanged, evaluated, and even rare precious medicines."    

    

The old man knew that Xiao Chen had been asking the Dragonwing Hall and Hui Ming to chain up the collection of precious medicines. His tone was full of temptation.    

    

However, Xiao Chen was not a fledgling who had just entered the pugilistic world. How could he be fooled by these few words? Yan Zhengdao said, "Don't come!"    

    

"Alright." Seeing that Xiao Chen did not fall for this trick at all, the old man smiled helplessly and bitterly. With a pained expression, he said, "As long as you are willing to represent the Zhang family, I will make an exception and open the Zhang family's treasure vault. You are allowed to choose any two items inside. "    

    

Hearing this, Xiao Chen became even more interested.    

    

Before he could explain everything, the old man was already in a hurry to make a promise. Obviously, there was something fishy about this Exchange Conference.    

    

"Three at most. This is the limit of what I can promise."    

    

"Why do I feel that five isn't a problem?" Xiao Chen curled his lips and smiled like a fox.    

    

"You..." The old man's face froze, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth, but he still took a deep breath, "Okay, five, I agree! Let me tell you, don't push your luck!"    

    

"I'm not that greedy. I'll agree to this! Let's talk about this Exchange Conference now. "
