Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 213 Three Conditions
Xie Yutang originally wanted to call Xiao Ran to go together, but when he heard Grandma Zhao directly call Xiao Ran to sit inside, he knew what was going on and immediately patted his butt and went home.

Xiao Ran responded and followed the grandmother of the Zhao family inside.

The Zhao family is not as rich as the Zhou and Yang families, but their family is not short of money either, at least their situation is much better than Xie Yutang's family.

It is said that Grandma Zhao's ancestors ran a money shop. As the saying goes, even a rotten boat still has three nails in it. Although the family has lost its business now, Zhao Qingming has never been short of food, clothing and other expenses.

Walking inside, there is a courtyard with a pomegranate tree standing in the middle of the courtyard. It is obvious that it is an old tree that has been there for decades.

As you enter the main room, you will see a shrine in the hall. In front of the shrine are various offerings of fragrant fruits, especially pomegranates, each one is round and big.

Xiao Ran couldn't see what was inside the shrine as it was covered by a layer of red cloth. But when Xiao Ran looked around, he could see a faint golden light in the shrine.

That was divinity, and he had seen it in the mountain temple. Considering that the Zhao family was good at summoning spirits, it was obvious that the things in this shrine were extremely extraordinary.

"Come and sit down. Qingming, go and boil some hot water."

"Okay, okay!" Zhao Qingming nodded and walked out, while Xiao Ran sat obediently on the stool next to him.

"Tell me honestly, what is your master's current situation?"

When she came, Xiao Ran knew that this grandma wanted him to come because of his master's matter.

"My master is doing well. He enjoys eating and is as healthy as before."

Xiao Ran responded without changing his expression.

"Snapped!!"

Upon hearing what Xiao Ran said, Grandma Zhao, who was always famous for her good temper in their small circle, slammed the table and stood up suddenly.

"Zhenye, you still dare to hide it from me at this time. Others may not know what your master is like, but how can I not know?"

Zhao Qingming, who was hiding outside the door to boil water, subconsciously shrank his neck when he heard his grandmother getting angry.

In his heart, he was worried for his brother, as he knew his grandmother's temper too well.

On weekdays, he is always cunning and treacherous.

But this time she was so angry, which showed that the seriousness of the matter was beyond her expectations.

Thinking of this, Zhao Qingming simply hid outside the door and didn't dare to go in.

"Don't try to quibble."

Grandma Zhao didn't give Xiao Ran a chance to speak and took out a sign and put it on the table.

The sign contains his birth date and the name of his master.

"Your master left his horoscope with me a long time ago, and I tell his fortune every once in a while.

Now, I can't count him.

This person is either dead or has become an immortal. You won't tell me that your master has become an immortal and is with you at home every day."

"That... may not be the case..."

Xiao Ran muttered to himself, this situation was not something he had not encountered before.

Of course, he only dared to whisper this. This lady was a powder keg right now, and Xiao Ran didn't want to offend her.

Seeing Xiao Ran stopped talking, Zhao's grandmother slowed down her tone and said, "Child, I know you and your master have a deep relationship. We have been siblings for decades. How could I harm him? The corpse is only one armor-piercing armor, and few people have made it through since ancient times. If he can make it through, I will risk my life to help him. But I am afraid that if something happens to him, it will not harm others, but you."

"Aunt, I understand what you mean. My master is...really fine. If you don't believe me, go to the charity cemetery and take a look."

Xiao Ran can only resort to the method of shifting the blame now. This kind of thing is hard to explain by himself, so he can only put the blame on his master.

As for how my master will explain to this young lady at that time, that will be a headache for my master. It is better than getting angry at me.

Seeing that Xiao Ran was determined not to give in, Grandma Zhao lost her temper for a moment and asked with some patience, "Are you sure your master is okay?"

"I'm sure, I'm sure. If you don't believe me, just go to the charity cemetery and you'll know. I wouldn't dare lie to you."

Xiao Ran nodded and said.

Seeing Xiao Ran's confident words, Grandma Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, but a hint of suspicion flashed in her eyes: "Well, I'll go tomorrow. If you dare to lie to me then, humph!"

"How dare I? Even if I lie to you, my elder brother won't agree."

"You guys, Pi."

Grandma Zhao glanced outside the door unhappily: "What time are you squatting at the door waiting for? I'm almost dying of thirst."

"Ugh!"

Zhao Qingming came in with hot water, grinning, and while making tea for his grandmother, he asked with a smile: "Grandma, it was so late last night. Why did you come back only now? Please give us some information, so that we don't get carried away and bring trouble to our family." No wonder Zhao Qingming is so flawless in his daily life. Look at what he said.

It was obviously just a rhetoric, so you should have just asked directly. Why did you add such a pretentious sentence, as if you were afraid that they didn't know their place and that you were acting like you were only thinking about your family.

But the grandmother of the Zhao family obviously fell for it. After thinking about it, she realized that it made sense. "It just so happens that you are here too, Zhenye. I will go back and tell your master about this later."

"Ugh."

Xiao Ran nodded in agreement.

"The situation is very troublesome. Each of us has to contribute manpower and manpower. We can either kill Li Jingqi or kill all those who are taking advantage of the chaos to cause trouble.

Three conditions,

First, the situation must not be brought to the official level.

Second, on the fifteenth day, whoever dares to cause evil will be killed.

Third, help Wuxiantang kill Li Jingqi."

Xiao Ran and Zhao Qingming looked at each other, and Zhao Qingming couldn't help asking, "Grandma, this is different from what you said before. Didn't we agree not to get involved?"

Grandma Zhao rubbed her forehead and said, "The Five Immortals Hall will not let Li Jingqi take what he has. For this thing, Uncle Hu and his men are willing to sacrifice their lives. At that time, they will not care about the lives of the people in this city. Moreover, if we can't get it back this time, the Five Immortals Hall will come again even if they send out all their forces. How long can we hold on? It's better to get rid of it once and for all."

When Grandma Zhao finished her speech, a cold wind suddenly blew up in the room, making a loud noise.

Apparently these three conditions were the result of a whole night's debate between them and Wuxiantang.

Xiao Ran thought of Wu Man's words last night, and thought to himself: "Isn't this a ready-made opportunity? I can cut off the firewood from under the cauldron. This time I can kill someone with a borrowed knife!"

“Zhenye, Zhenye, Zhenye!!”

"what!"

"What are you thinking about? My grandma has called you three times."

Zhao Qingming pulled Xiao Ran and gave him a wink.

"Oh, aunt, please tell me."

"Go back and tell your master that I will go to see him tomorrow at noon. If he can't explain the reason, I will burn down his memorial."

“Ahh.”

Xiao Ran nodded, stood up and walked out.

Zhao Qingming quickly stood up and said, "I'll go and see you off."

Then he ran out.

"Zhenye, you'd better make sure your master is okay? My grandma always keeps her word."

Zhao Qingming pulled Xiao Ran's arm and asked again worriedly.

"Don't worry, nothing's wrong."

Xiao Ran patted his chest to reassure him, thinking, "My master is not without legs. If you burn down the charity cemetery, won't he run away?"

"Okay, let's meet at Yinma Street on the evening of the 15th?"

"it is good!"

After checking the time, the two of them parted ways.

"Grandma, are you really going to go find Zhenye's master tomorrow?"

Zhao Qingming turned around and walked into the yard, and saw his grandmother coming out with a pot of hot water. He walked up to her cautiously and asked.

"Otherwise, if his master's affairs are not handled properly, it will be a more troublesome disaster than Li Jingqi."

"But I think Zhenye would not lie. If his master really had turned into a zombie, how could he dare to hide it?" Zhao Qingming still spoke well of Xiao Ran out of habit.

"Humph, you, brother, have very deep thoughts."

Grandma Zhao could judge people better than Zhao Qingming. She knew that Xiao Ran refused to speak and there must be some hidden story behind it, so she decided to go to the charity cemetery in person to take a look.

As she spoke, she ignored Zhao Qingming and poured the boiling water in her hand under the pomegranate tree.

When boiling hot water was poured on it, the pomegranate tree seemed to come alive and began to twist its branches. The pomegranates on it burst open one after another, making a sound like a child's laughter.

Grandma Zhao looked at the pomegranates and smiled contentedly:
"I've been raising these ghost pomegranates for so many years, and now they can finally be put to use..."
