Chapter 438 - The Shameless First Elder Of The Lan Family (4)
"Xue"er, everything is packed." Freak returned to Leng Ruoxue"s side.
"Okay, let"s leave then. Don"t affect the Lan family"s medicinal herb exchange," Leng Ruoxue said very kindly.
"Uh!" The first elder was a little dumbfounded. What was going on? Did he say he wanted them to leave? He just wanted them to enter the city. Boohoo… This girl is really too evil. He was now very sure that Leng Ruoxue definitely did it on purpose.
"First Elder, you don"t have to be troubled. We"re leaving." Leng Ruoxue waved at the first elder. Then she gave Freak and the others a look and planned to leave…
"All of you, stop right there. No one is allowed to leave. If you want to leave, step over my dead body!" With that, the first elder sat on the ground and began acting shamelessly.
Leng Ruoxue and the others, who were about to leave, as well as the alchemists, were all stunned, not knowing what to do!
The Lan family collectively turned their heads, not daring to look at the first elder. However, they thought in unison, First Elder, you are really unscrupulous in order to achieve your goal! Alas! Your sacrifice for the Lan family is really too great! At this moment, they respected the first elder even more!
"First Elder, you want us to step over you. Are you preparing to commit suicide? Or do you want us to kill you?" Leng Ruoxue asked curiously with several black lines hanging on her forehead.
"I find it painful to commit suicide. Kill me if you want to leave!" The first elder steeled his heart and went all out. Anyway, the Lan family had already lost all its face. There wouldn"t be much difference even if his was gone.
"Then what if the Lan family finds trouble with us after we kill you?" Leng Ruoxue asked in distress. Alas! Is this old man really the first elder of the Lan family who is virtuous and respected? Why is he so shameless? No wonder the Lan family had so many pieces of work!
"Hehe, then you can all stay. Then we will all be happy," the first elder said with a smile.
"But we"ve exchanged all our herbs, and there"s really nothing else to exchange for," Leng Ruoxue said in a dilemma.
"It"s okay. You just have to put on a show. Otherwise, our Lan family will lose all our face," the first elder pleaded. Boohoo… Take pity on me!
"First Elder, time is money. We…"
"Money? How much do you want?" the first elder asked quickly. Money was not a problem as long as they were willing to stay!
"Uh!" Leng Ruoxue was stunned. Did the first elder of the Lan family want to give them money? In fact, what she wanted to say just now was that they didn"t have that much time!
"La.s.s, as long as you"re willing to stay until the exchange ends, our Lan family will pay you. How about it?" the first elder said anxiously with widened eyes.
"How much?" Leng Ruoxue asked lightly. They won"t cause trouble for me and yet will pay us. Is there such a good thing? She couldn"t help feeling a little skeptical!
"How about five hundred thousand purple gold coins a day for half a month?" the first elder asked expectantly.
"What do you think?" Leng Ruoxue turned to ask the alchemists not far away.
"Is what First Elder said true?" one of the alchemists asked doubtfully. Would there be such a good thing? In the past, they had to pay the Lan family money when they came to the exchange meeting. They didn"t expect the tables to turn today. Moreover, the Lan family was quite open-minded, and the treatment was quite good!
"Of course it"s true. I guarantee it with the reputation of the Lan family"s first elder," the first elder said very seriously and sincerely.
"I think we can consider it," another alchemist said after hearing the first elder"s promise, but his face was obviously still a little worried.
"There"s no need to consider. Such conditions are unprecedented and will never happen again. There won"t be such an opportunity in the future," the first elder urged.
"What if the second master of the Lan family finds trouble with us after we enter Blue Cloud City?" Leng Ruoxue asked.
"Yes! Blue Cloud City is the Lan family"s territory. Will the Lan family cause trouble for us if we enter?" the alchemists asked worriedly.
"He wouldn"t dare. Wasn"t he already grounded by me!" the first elder said with certainty.
"Erm… Everyone, I am the third elder of the Lan family. I can also guarantee that you won"t be hara.s.sed by certain people from the Lan family," the third elder promised.
"If someone hara.s.ses us, can we deal with that person as we please? No matter who they are?" Leng Ruoxue asked lightly. The other Lan family members might take the words of these two elders seriously, but not necessarily Lan Ning"er!
"Yes, our Lan family will never s.h.i.+eld them," the first elder and third elder promised in unison.
"Everyone, since the Lan family is so sincere, let"s give these two elders of the Lan family some face!" Leng Ruoxue said very understandingly.
"We"ll listen to Miss Leng," the alchemists replied. They were almost following Leng Ruoxue"s lead now.
"In that case, I"ve decided on your behalf. Let"s enter Blue Cloud City to partic.i.p.ate in the medicinal herb exchange! However, First Elder, you have to pay us in advance," Leng Ruoxue said in a seemingly fair manner.
"No problem. You enter the city first. I"ll get someone to send the remuneration to you later," the first elder said readily. Hehe, his mission would be completed as long as they were willing to stay.
"First Elder, you can get up now!" Leng Ruoxue looked at the first elder still sitting on the ground and reminded him. Alas! The first elder of a super family actually sat on the ground and acted shamelessly in order to achieve his goal. What would happen if news of this got out!
"Hehe, la.s.s, if you agreed earlier, would I need to use this move!" the first elder said nonchalantly.
"Aren"t you afraid of losing face?" Leng Ruoxue was really curious. How can this old man be so thick-skinned?
"What I care about is the result. It"s good as long as I can achieve my goal," the first elder said stubbornly, his heart racing. Wasn"t this forced by you, la.s.s? He hadn"t used this move for dozens of years. The last time he had used it was for Lan Tian!
"First Grandpa!" At this moment, Lan Lie, who had been hiding, walked out of the crowd.. His eyes were slightly red as he spoke in a choked voice.
