Protect Our Patriarch Chapter 62: I, Prince Huan, have decided to make friends with Li Ci

www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of protecting our clan leader!

……

As soon as this was said.

There was silence again outside the store.

Everyone looked at Tai Zihuan as if they were looking at a fool.

Duanmu Jinhua, in particular, was even more excited.

Recently, in order to expand their business and reduce costs, Haotian Mining not only ate the raw ore from the mining area under the Haotian Temple, but also invested huge sums of money to compete for the raw ore from other forces.

Today, the total value of the rough stones stored in the store is as high as about 2,000 Chaos Spiritual Stones.

Among them, only about 1,000 Chaos Spirit Stones are the store's own funds, while the other 1,000 Chaos Spirit Stones are raised from Duanmu Clan and Bai Jun Dao Master.

It is true that Haotian Mining is very profitable.

But the profits earned by Haotian Mining have been mainly used to support the development of the Duanmu clan and Baijun Taoist masters over the years.

In the eyes of the big guys, this stone betting shop is just a tool to make money.

If such a huge amount of goods were sold according to the normal business model of a gambling stone store, the price would probably reach about 4,000 Chaos Spiritual Stones.

If you add in unconventional means such as cheating, passing off inferior products, setting up traps to deceive people, etc., it is not impossible that the total number of Chaos Spiritual Stones that can be obtained exceeds 6,000!

It does look like a huge profit.

But this is the total price.

In fact, the entire operation cycle of this batch of goods from purchase to all sales took at least seventy or eighty years.

If business becomes quieter, it would not be surprising for the turnover period to drag on for more than a hundred years.

On average, the annual gross profit is about dozens of Chaos Spiritual Stones.

But now that Prince Huan wants to book the venue, even if he sells it to him at a 20% discount, it will cost him 3,200 Hunlings. After deducting the cost of about 2,000 Hunlings, he can make a net profit of at least 1,000 Hunlings!

With this profit plus principal, Haotian Mining can completely increase the price to purchase raw stones from other mining areas, which will kill its peers.

But no matter how tempted Duanmu Jinhua was, he still had many worries in his heart and did not dare to agree easily.

How could this Prince Huan be of the same generation as Yi Yu?

This is a big business worth thousands of Chaos Spiritual Stones. What if Prince Huan gets into trouble after suffering a loss, angers the big boss of the Demon Temple, and alerts the Haotian Emperor or something? The military Taoist master was unable to eat and walked around.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Jinhua suppressed his greed. Not only did he not agree, but he patiently persuaded Prince Jian: "Your Highness Jian, how dare we, with this small shop, humiliate His Highness and the Demon Temple? If you feel dissatisfied, we can increase the compensation."

"As for booking the venue...well, according to the rules of the stone gambling industry, you will definitely lose money."

Obviously, Duanmu Jinhua does not want to be entangled with the super second-generation ancestor Tai Zihuan anymore, and would rather suffer a loss than send him away.

"I am willing to lose money, can you take care of it?" Tai Zihuan glanced at him with a sneer, "Besides, how do you know that I will definitely lose money? Maybe the first two waves of losses will wipe out my bad luck. Sora, this time the reservation turned out to be a turn of events?"

Duanmu Jinhua was silent for a while.

To be honest, it was difficult for him to understand the thinking of a wealthy second-generation ancestor like Prince Huan.

After thinking for a moment, he said seriously: "His Royal Highness actually insisted on booking the venue. I have to say that ugly thing first. Our shop is not open for charity, it must be to make money."

"In this case, I will settle the account for Your Highness first, and then you decide whether to book the venue."

"Currently, we have a large inventory of rough stones in our store, and the normal price is around 4,000 Hunlings. Your Highness has reserved the venue, and I will give you a 20% discount, which is 3,200 Hunlings."

"For this batch of goods, it is normal to sell them for around 2,000 Hunlings. If you are unlucky, it is possible to sell only more than 1,000 Hunlings. If you are lucky, you may not be able to sell them for three or four thousand."

These words were spoken very sincerely.

Many of the onlookers outside were colleagues or gamblers, and they were filled with emotion when they heard this.

In order to persuade Prince Huan to quit, Duanmu Jinhua tried his best, even throwing away his industry foundation.

"Too much nonsense. Then book the venue for 3,200 Hunlings!" Prince Huan, however, was impatient, as if he was wealthy and didn't care at all, "Hurry up, I'm still waiting to win the Shenying Ranking Here~"

He originally thought that he would be losing money by booking the venue, but he couldn't bear to hear Goddess Qingli's request to continue booking the venue. Anyway, he didn't lose any money.

He is not afraid of Goddess Qingli deceiving him.

After all, the dignified Prince Huan is not easy to bully! ?

Duanmu Jinhua was immediately overjoyed.

He had made the stakes so clear, but Prince Huan still insisted on booking the venue, and there were so many people present to witness it. After that, even if he wanted to cause trouble, it would be unreasonable.

After all, although the Demon Temple is powerful and Prince Huan is indeed rich and powerful, how can the Haotian Temple be easy to mess with?

As long as justice is on his side, even if His Majesty the Demon God comes knocking on the door, the Haotian Sword Emperor will not allow him to mess around!

Duanmu Jinhua suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, but his face was still full of grace: "Since His Highness Jian is so insistent, then naturally I have no reason to stop him."

After saying that, he waved his hand.

"Come here, book the venue for His Highness Jian!"

The guys in the store started working immediately.

Batch after batch of rough stones were transported to the lobby, and the clerks stopped working hard and continued to unpack the stones as quickly as possible.

While the clerks were busy, more and more onlookers gathered outside the Haotian Mining Store to watch the excitement, and unknowingly, the entire entrance was filled.

This is a private venue~!

Such a big bustle is extremely rare. It is a rare occasion to catch it. Almost all the prominent people in the big market came to watch, including a few Hunyuan Dao Master level bosses.

Even the [Market Inspection Team] responsible for the order and safety of the entire market were alerted by the movement here and came over to watch and maintain order.

This [Market Inspection Team] is affiliated to the Haotian Temple and is led by a temple elder. His subordinates are all elites at the Da Luo Jinxian level, and their overall combat effectiveness is very powerful!

On weekdays, this team is stationed in the trading market and will not be dispatched easily. Whenever we go out, it must be a big deal.

With the addition of the market inspection team, the crowd of onlookers at the entrance of Haotian Mining also became more orderly, without the chaos at the beginning.

However, everyone's interest in eating melon has not diminished at all.

Almost everyone was talking excitedly, speculating on how much money Tai Zihuan would lose this time.

That's right, we were just talking about how much money we lost. No one would think that Taizi Huan could be so lucky that he could really make money.

This kind of private venue, in the final analysis, is just giving money to the stone gambling shop.

However, as the clerk continued to progress in unraveling the stone, the crowd's chatter gradually became quieter, and everyone's expressions gradually became surprised, and then turned to shock.

However, what shocked them was not that the rough stones were shipped in great quantities. In fact, it was the shipment rate of these rough stones that was too low, too low!

The rough stones in the hands of the clerks kept betting down, and then betting down again, as if what they unlocked was not the rough spiritual stones, but real stones, and the shipment rate was appallingly low.

The first two small batches were enough to stretch the crotch, but the goods from the private venue are even more crotch-stretching!

Gradually, the clerks also noticed something was wrong.

Their speed of unraveling the stone slowed down unconsciously, and each of them looked at the shopkeeper for help.

As for the shopkeeper, his eyes widened, and big beads of sweat kept sliding down his cheeks.

Something happened, something big happened!

It’s not that the first two small batches of goods were in bad condition, but that there was something wrong with the entire large batch of goods!

Impossible, this is impossible? ! What exactly went wrong? ! !

He couldn't figure it out.

Duanmu Jinhua’s original joyful mood gradually turned into solemnity.

A chill ran down his back, making his scalp numb, his hair standing on end, and even his body began to tremble unconsciously.

He has already reacted.

There is definitely a big problem with this batch of goods!

Could it be that Prince Huan was behind all of this?

He looked at Tai Ziyuan with horrified eyes, preparing to stop the clerk's work of dissolving the stone.

"Don't stop!"

Prince Huan's eyes turned cold, and he slammed the table to stop Duanmu Jinhua.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his sharp gaze slowly swept over the faces of many shop assistants. His tone was extremely arrogant and domineering: "Whoever dares to stop, I will feed him to the Dragon King!"

He was naturally aware of the problem at this time.

Although I don’t know how it was done, it is obvious that it has something to do with the goddess Qingli.

He was so happy~ It turned out that there was indeed a huge problem with this batch of goods. No wonder the Qingli Goddess dared to let him book the show!

Okay, okay! Originally, I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to catch your mistakes. Some tigers eat turtles, and I feel like I can’t eat them. But now~~

Like a ferocious beast that had been starving for a long time and finally found an injured and bleeding prey, Tai Zihuan was so excited that his blood boiled, and his original amber eyes turned into dark golden beast pupils. .

How can we miss such a decisive opportunity? !

Duanmu Jinhua still needs to rely on the strength of the Hunyuan realm to resist.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the power on him rose, an even more terrifying and frightening aura suddenly invaded, locking him firmly in an instant, and also enveloped the entire stone gambling shop.

At the same time, an angry sneer spread throughout the stone gambling shop.

"How brave! How dare you lie in front of His Highness Jian. Keep going. No one is allowed to stop until His Highness calls you to stop."

After the words fell, a figure in gray robe appeared behind Prince Huan as if appearing out of thin air.

This figure is clearly the old man who drives the Dragon King's flying chariot for Prince Huan.

It's just that at this moment, he has changed from his previous low profile, his expression is cold and solemn, his whole body is filled with pressure, and his whole aura is completely different.

The terrifying aura gave everyone inside and outside the gambling shop a sense of suffocation, as if even breathing was about to stop.

Half-step Immortal Emperor level?

How is that possible! ?

Duanmu Jinhua suddenly felt fear running through his body, and his heart was extremely horrified.

The grand ceremony for Prince Huan to go out was too grand, and he was actually guarded secretly by a strong man at the level of a Half-Step Immortal Emperor.

Actually, this is not a matter of Prince Huan’s appearance.

Although he usually pays attention to pomp when going out, his level is not that high. However, this time his original intention was to avenge Jue'er and win, so he naturally wanted to have more trump cards.

With the Half-Step Immortal Emperor controlling the scene, Duanmu Jinhua and others naturally did not dare to make any mistakes, and the "clerks" also continued to speed up the work of removing stones honestly.

As the progress continues, I still continue to bet on failure, and bet on failure again.

It wasn't until more than half a day later that all the rough stones worth a total of "3200" Hunlings in the entire store were finally solved.

The shopkeeper was forced to count the harvest, and his face became extremely pale: "In total, the total shipment value is about 289 mixed spirits!"

As soon as this data was announced, the onlookers were in an uproar.

"How can it be so low? This Haotian Mining is too dark!"

"Okay~ It turns out this is a black shop. No wonder I have lost five Chaos Spiritual Stones in gambling over the past hundred years."

"I am a colleague. Although I knew that Haotian Mining was rogue, I never expected it to be so rogue. Our normal gross profit is only 70 to 80% of the purchase price!"

"Refund! Refund!"

Many gamblers who had lost gambling at Haotian Mining began to get angry and shouted.

"Wow!" Prince Huan slammed the table and stood up, his dark golden beast eyes flashing with ferocious light, "The rough stone that sold for 3,200 mixed spirits after a 20% discount was only sold out. There are less than 300 ghosts! You are taking this prince as your culprit~"

Normally speaking, if you spend 100 mixed spirits in a stone gambling shop, you carefully select the rough stone, and finally draw it and lose everything, you can naturally blame it on bad luck.

But this is a private venue!

With large-scale bookings, the result has little to do with luck.

The only factor that affects the final stone analysis result is the quality of the original stone.

This is also the reason why gamblers often pay attention to which mining area the raw stone comes from when betting on stones.

Because the quality of rough stones in a mining area is often similar and does not change at will.

The better the overall quality of the mining area, the greater the probability of winning the rough stone produced.

But even in the poorest mining areas, the quality of rough stones is not that bad. Such a low shipment rate is simply shocking.

There is almost no other explanation except that there is something wrong with this batch of rough stones!

The shopkeeper was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

Duanmu Jinhua's eyes were also filled with dullness and fear, and his heart was full of doubts.

Is this a trap set by Prince Huan? However, their store purchases and stores these rough stones by themselves, and even the price of each piece of rough stone is set by the store itself.

Under such circumstances, if you want to do something, even if Prince Huan has the ability to do it, there is no way he can do it~

Duanmu Jinhua has so many things in his mind that he can't figure it out no matter what, but he also knows that when things have reached this point, he can no longer solve them.

Immediately, he crushed the communication jade talisman repeatedly and notified his family and Taoist Master Baijun!

Even at the worst, they have to be mentally prepared so that they can withstand the next impact.

"Come on, please smash this dirty shop to me!" Prince Jian looked extremely angry and had lost his mind. "After the shop is smashed, I will go to your Duanmu family to settle the score! I will look for you. Haotian Temple settles accounts!"

As for the 3,200 Hun Ling rental fee, haha~~This is a rip-off shop with solid evidence, why do you still pay so much?

However.

Just as a group of thugs following Tai Zihuan were gearing up to smash up the store, the melon-eating people were also preparing to follow and come for a "zero-yuan purchase."

People from the market inspection team came out and stopped them.

The reason is also very simple. Haotian Mining is just suspected of ripping off customers. The actual situation requires further investigation.

After all, theoretically speaking, there is a possibility that the goods worth 2,000 Hunlings may end up being worth only 300 Hunlings after the appraisal by the master of mining.

Prince Huan is not someone to be trifled with.

Immediately, he was ready to have a fight with the market inspection team.

Anyway, the truth is on his side, and he won't be afraid no matter how big the issue gets.

Seeing a violent conflict about to break out.

Suddenly.

A majestic voice sounded: "Stop it!"

After the words fell, Jun Hao Shenzi, who had been lurking on one side for a long time, finally appeared and stood between the market inspection team and Prince Huan.

"I have met the Son of God Jun Hao."

When the leader of the market inspection team, Elder Chongyang, saw it was him, he immediately saluted him politely.

But the attitude of Prince Huan next to him was very unfriendly.

He looked at God Son Jun Hao up and down with provocative eyes: "It turns out to be God Son Jun Hao~ What, you want to protect this black shop?"

Godson Jun Hao glanced at him and did not answer. Instead, he looked at Duanmu Jinhua: "Senior Jinhua, what happened?"

Duanmu Jinhua saw his son of God coming, as if he had seen a savior. He hurriedly stepped forward and cried out: "Your Highness Jun Hao, we were wronged~ wronged~"

Normally, he would definitely not be so polite to Jun Hao, but now, he doesn't care so much, and his tone can be as polite as possible.

While shouting injustice, he quickly told the story again, and there were many hints in his words. Among them, it should be that Prince Huan was causing trouble and deliberately framed the blame.

Although he didn't know how Prince Huan was framed, he didn't need Jun Hao to really find out about it. He only needed Jun Hao to withstand Prince Huan for a while, and waited for the family elders and Bai When the military master arrived, everything was no longer a problem.

After hearing this, Godson Jun Hao was indeed angry.

He frowned and glared at Prince Huan, angrily scolded: "Prince Huan, do you dare to accuse our Haotian Temple of opening a black shop?"

"Hahaha~" Prince Jian also laughed angrily, "Why do you mean I'm unjustly accusing you of opening a black shop? So many pairs of eyes are watching what happened today, but I can't just say it's unjust. Jun Hao, God Son , if you really want to protect this black shop, don’t blame me for not giving you face."

Unexpectedly, God Son Jun Hao seemed to be insulted when he heard this, and seemed even angrier than him: "You can insult this Son of God, but the reputation of our Haotian Temple for countless years cannot be blasphemed! Our Haotian Temple has always been magnanimous Justice is absolutely impossible to cheat. Today, I will prove it to you!"

As he spoke, he suddenly looked at the captain of the market inspection team behind him.

"Elder Chongyang!"

"I'm here." Elder Chongyang took a step forward and bowed slightly.

"Investigate! We must get to the bottom of the truth today and clear our Haotian Temple's name!" God Son Jun Hao said with righteousness and righteousness on his face, his whole body aura rising, like a peerless sword unsheathed, "Inspection Team" , immediately seal all the accounts of Haotian Mining and check the accounts on the spot! Let the entire immortal world take a look, there will never be any problems with the property under the name of our Haotian Temple."

"Here!"

Elder Chongyang’s heart trembled, secretly thinking that something big had happened.

However, the matter has come to this, with Prince Huan and the Son of God Jun Hao watching at the scene, and countless people watching from outside. He does not dare to risk the disdain of the world and offend the Son of God Jun Hao at this time.

At the moment, he had no choice but to lead the inspection team to search Haotian Mining.

Unexpectedly.

He had just started the search when Jun Hao, the Son of God, said suddenly: "In order to prove the innocence of the Haotian Temple, Prince Huan is asked to supervise the search together with this Son of God."

"Okay, I will supervise with you to see how dark this store is."

Prince Huan climbed along the pole, and together with Shenzi Jun Hao, he supervised the inspection team's search.

Under such circumstances, even if the inspection team wanted to cover up Haotian Mining, there was no chance.

Soon, all the ledgers were moved to the lobby.

Subsequently, under the "unintentional guidance" of Shenzi Jun Hao, the inspection team discovered several more well-hidden secret rooms.

The secret room is not small, and there are many "raw spiritual stones" piled up in different categories.

Shenzi Jun Hao and Prince Huan specially asked someone to identify them and found that the raw spiritual stones were all man-made fakes.

Of course, the rough stone itself is the real rough stone, and the fake refers to the fake appearance.

There are two main directions for counterfeiting. One is to use artificial means to create an excellent appearance, making people feel that the best products can be found inside. Second, they relied on splicing to forge some fake products with genuine spiritual stones inside.

As a large number of fakes were discovered, the onlookers were in an uproar again.

Duanmu Jinhua's face turned extremely ugly, and the shopkeeper and the clerks were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground.

"God Son Jun Hao, what else do you have to say?" Prince Huan glanced at God Son Jun Hao, his eyes full of ridicule, "It seems that your Haotian Temple is not that clean."

Probably because he felt refreshed physically and mentally, his pair of dark golden beast eyes had turned amber again at this moment, and he looked noble and lazy again.

On the other hand, Divine Son Jun Hao seemed to be stimulated, his face turning blue and white.

He was so "angry" that he grabbed the shopkeeper and his voice seemed to be tempered with ice: "Tell me! What's going on?!"

"Don't try to get away with this! Tarnishing the reputation of my temple will definitely alarm my master! If you explain in advance, I, the Son of God, will give you a chance to atone for your sins!"

The shopkeeper was frightened and immediately explained everything in public.

Duanmu Jinhua couldn't stop him even if he wanted to.

It turns out that the two fake rough stones were props used to lure gamblers.

Fake products with spiritual stones inside can be used to give gamblers a taste of sweetness, allowing them to gradually lose themselves in the continuous profits.

The former is the ultimate weapon used for massacre!

When some of the target "fat sheep gamblers" lose, they also provide loan gambling funds to further lock them in. As the situation gets deeper and deeper, even gamblers with good backgrounds will inevitably end up bankrupt.

Shocking!

Even Lord Jun Hao, who already knew the dangers involved, couldn't help but feel angry after hearing these tricks that played with people's hearts.

"Bang!"

He slapped his Quasi-God Son token on the table.

"Investigate! Thoroughly investigate! I will get to the bottom of this matter today! Who dares to cover up, I will immediately summon the master to take charge of the overall situation!"

"Yes, Your Highness."

When Elder Chongyang and others saw this, they immediately gave up their illusions and decided to make meritorious deeds.

He just took some benefits and turned a blind eye. Even if he was really found out, when Qiu Hou settled the accounts, the crime would be far less serious than Duanmu's.

At this time, the shocked expressions on the faces of the spectators outside the Gambling Stone Shop gradually faded away, and turned into expressions of relish in eating melons again.

They didn’t expect that the plot would turn out to be so twists and turns as they just came here to watch a gambling stone.

I don’t even dare to write this in my storybook~!

Moreover, after today’s commotion, Haotian Mining is completely finished, and even the Duanmu clan behind it is in big trouble~

Even the Taoist Master Baijun, who is related by marriage to their family, might also be affected.

******

A few days later.

[Haotian Mining Case] ​​is still being excavated in depth, and the public opinion wave caused by it is also wave after wave, sweeping through Haotian City like a huge storm. As the "mastermind" of the incident, Jun Hao Shenzi, Qingli Goddess and Wang Lizi are fine for the time being.

Naturally, they did not continue to stay at the Gambling Stone Shop.

At this moment.

The first food pavilion in Taihaotian - Haotian Pavilion.

In a luxuriously decorated box.

"Brother Jun Hao, I thought I would never see you again."

"Sister Yun'er! No, no, we will never be separated forever."

God Son Jun Hao was holding a sword and was so excited that he could not help himself. Tears welled up in his eyes, as if he had met a lover he had not seen for three lifetimes.

They talked to each other sincerely, saying things like "Brother Junhao is the best in the world", "You are my number one sister", etc., these disgusting personal words kept coming out as if they were free of money. .

Goddess Qingli and Wang Lizi looked at this scene with goosebumps all over their bodies.

The former really couldn't bear it anymore. He frowned and suddenly looked at Wang Lizi next to him with pretense of doubt: "Sister Lizi, if brother Junhao picks up a half-step divine sword, Dingyun will still be him. My first sister?"

Wang Lizi hasn’t answered yet~

Godson Jun Hao on the other side had already glared at him: "Qingli girl, go, go, don't make trouble."

"Brother Jun Hao, is what she said true?"

"How is that possible? Let alone the Half-Step Divine Sword, even if it is the Divine Sword, sister Yun'er will always be my number one sister."

"Brother Junhao, you are so kind."

Then, in order to prevent Sister Qingli and Sister Lici from causing trouble again and affecting his relationship with Dingyun Daojian, Jun Hao quickly changed the topic and expressed his gratitude to the two of them: "Two sisters, thank you so much for this time Because of you, I redeemed Sister Yun'er. To express my gratitude, I'll treat you to another meal."

"But I agreed in advance that the meal cost cannot exceed 100 Chaos Spirit Stones! You have to leave some money for me to practice~"

In this wave, Godson Jun Hao made a lot of money, and his bold and cheerful demeanor was reborn again.

"This time, Brother Jun Hao doesn't have to spend any money." Goddess Qingli declined after hearing this, "We already have a sponsor for today's treat."

"Who?" Godson Jun Hao suddenly became more vigilant.

"Of course it is this prince."

A cheerful and heroic voice sounded.

Godson Jun Hao immediately looked at the sound.

They saw Prince Huan, surrounded by several stunning beauties, swaggering towards them.

He had a smile that was as refreshing as spring breeze on his face, and his brilliant blond hair swayed slightly as he walked, showing off freely and uninhibitedly.

I don’t know when the armor he was wearing was replaced by a set of black armor with red lines. It looked more showy than the previous set of black armor, and it also matched his temperament better.

"Goddess Qingli, Goddess Lici, you can eat today, even if you eat up all the Haotian Pavilion, this prince will not feel sorry for you."

"By the way, I heard that Goddess Li Ci likes to eat borneol. As a friend of yours, I, Prince Huan, have made a bet. I specially brought two pairs of borneols for us to enjoy together."

After saying that, Prince Huan glanced at the Lord Jun Hao provocatively, with obvious contempt in his eyes.

That look in his eyes seemed to say "The poor man crawls"!

The two people's eyes met in mid-air, and violent sparks suddenly arose.

……
