Spirit Stone Hunter

Standing in front of the familiar door again, Zhan Jiu said in his heart that it is unrealistic to have no fluctuations.

30 years of life and memory, loss of mother, serious illness, murder... Father's indifference, father's other "partners" and children's hurt and exclusion, ridicule from uncle and cousin, all the worst of Zhan Jiu Memories are all in this big house.And what was good for him has been forgotten, maybe when his mother was still alive.

Ma Xiaotian held Zhan Jiu's hand, intuitively feeling that his brother Jiu was in a bad mood.Naturally, in this case, there is no possibility of being in a good mood either.No matter how determined a person is, it is impossible to forget the past, not to mention that this is his former "home". "Brother Nine, go back tonight, I'll make you croquettes and steaks with sauce, you love them all!"

Zhan Jiu turned to look at Ma Xiaotian, and smiled slightly: "Okay. Then I have to save my stomach to wait for your handicrafts. Recently, you are busy making gifts for Xiao Cong every day, and I have not had your handicrafts for more than a week." gone."

Ma Xiaotian scratched his head: "Isn't that because my carving skills are not good. But I think I have improved a lot compared to before!"

At this time, Uncle Wang came out from the gate, saw Zhan Jiu and the others, and immediately stepped forward: "Master Ninth, the third master has been waiting for you for a long time." After speaking, he smiled at Huo Congting and the three of them After a moment, he made a request.

Zhan Jiu was naturally at the forefront.Today is the full moon of Zhan Lie's youngest son, with Zhan family's prestige and Zhan Lie's own wealth, he naturally has someone to curry favor with and congratulate.As soon as Zhan Jiu stepped into the yard, the people in the yard fell silent and looked at Zhan Jiu with very surprised eyes.Especially the members of the Zhan family, there are many expressions that are hard to describe.

Zhan Ying came out from the main hall and nodded when he saw Zhan Jiu: "Xiao Jiu, you are here."

Zhan Jiu doesn't have much impression of his own elder brother.The age difference between the two is too big, and Zhan Ying was in the army when his accident happened, so the two brothers have no feelings for each other, so naturally they can't talk about liking or disliking them.But as far as Zhan Jiu knows Zhan Ying, he has a good humanity as a big brother. Now in his 80s, he still has only one spiritual partner and three children, not even as many as Zhan Rin's sons.Moreover, Zhanying left the army decades earlier and started his own business as a bodyguard group, with more than 100 hired hunters under his command.Although his own business is not big, but with Zhan Lie's business and the family business allocated to him as the eldest son of the third house of the Zhan family, the family lives very comfortably.He did not participate in the disputes of the previous generation for the head of the family.It is estimated that his indifference is also one of the reasons why Zhan Lie doesn't like him, but prefers Zhan Rin who jumps up and down.In such a family, people without desires have no value available.

"Xiaotian, my name is Third Brother. Third Brother, this is my unmarried partner, named Ma Xiaotian." For a person who has no enmity or grudge, Zhan Jiu doesn't hesitate to call him a title.What's more, he can even call someone like Zhanfeng his fourth brother, let alone Zhanying.

Ma Xiaotian immediately bowed: "Hello third brother!"

Zhanying smiled slightly, reached out and took out a wooden box from the storage bag and handed it over. "We met for the first time, this is a gift for the eldest brother. Xiao Jiu, please keep it, it's a bit heavy."

Zhan Jiu took the box, and the weight he felt was really amazing.It seems that there should be some spirit stones in this box. "Thank you third brother."

Ma Xiaotian was very curious about what was in the box, but there was really no way for him to see it now, so he followed Zhan Jiu and thanked him first.

Ignoring the discussions of those behind, Zhan Ying personally brought Zhan Jiu and Ma Xiaotian upstairs, while Huo Congting and Ying Feng were arranged by Uncle Wang to the resting place of the distinguished guests.

After going up the stairs, Zhan Jiu asked, "Third brother, what happened today?"

Zhan Ying replied: "I don't know. You also know that my father never said anything to me."

Zhan Jiu didn't ask any more questions.The three of them arrived at the innermost study room on the second floor. As soon as they reached the door, they heard the cry of a child inside.Zhan Jiu frowned: "Here?"

War Eagle nodded, then knocked on the door. "Father, Xiao Jiu and his unmarried partner have arrived."

The door of the study room was opened by a young and beautiful male spirit. Judging from the senses of people in this world, this spirit is no more than 30 years old. Such a good appearance and a slightly loose but still revealing figure are probably not enough. Not a cleaning servant.Sure enough, when the spirit man saw Zhan Ying and the others, he smiled immediately: "Sit inside, is this Xiao Jiu? I entered Zhan's house late, and this is the first time we have met. Hello, my name is Nan Zhu, and I am your father's first son." Six companions."

Zhan Jiu twitched his brows instantly, but then recovered his expression. "Zhan Jiu met Mrs. Six."

Ma Xiaotian didn't need to be reminded when his wit came up.Immediately bowed slightly, and took out a piece of bean green glass jade safety lock that he made yesterday, and offered it with both hands. "Hi Madam Six. This is a gift from me for the baby's meeting. The gadgets made by myself are not respectful. Please don't dislike them."

Nan Zhu is a spirit person, so he naturally knows how to distinguish good and bad spirit stones.Seeing Ma Xiaotian, a baby's fist-sized glass jade safety lock, his eyes lit up immediately.Not to mention the carving and implication, the quality of this jade is already valuable.It is said that Zhan Jiu's unmarried partner is a talented junior appraiser, the two of them are now closely related to the special department of the military, and in just one year, the two of them have the ability to buy a farm by themselves, so they must have made a lot of money Money, now it seems that it is indeed.At least Nan Zhu felt that given Zhan Jiu's relationship with the Zhan family, it was beyond his expectation to send such a valuable gift.

Accepting the gift very solemnly, Nan Zhu instinctively felt the aura in the spirit stone, and it really was the top jadeite!Bringing it to my son is really good for the child.Don't look at the money the Zhan family has, they don't lack this security lock, but the most important gift is the heart, which he personally received. "You're so polite. We're all a family. It's good to have them when they arrive. They even give such an expensive gift. How can a child of his age use such a good spirit stone?"

Ma Xiaotian responded with a smile: "Of course this good stone should be kept with me since I was a child. My parents told me when I was a child that jadeite can also ward off disasters and seek refuge. Children need to be more careful and pay attention to everything because they are young. I carve This safety lock is to hope that the children can be safe and healthy." After speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Zhan Jiu, and took back the next words that he wanted to mock the Zhan family.

Zhan Jiuchao Ma Xiaotian slightly twitched the corners of his lips, he definitely couldn't laugh now, but he liked Xiaotian's words very much, and he knew what the words were alluding to.It's never been more comfortable to have a partner who protects me so much.Especially in this building, there is never a second person who speaks up for himself.Ma Xiaotian was the first.

Zhan Lie just stood up from the sofa at this time, although he had just looked at Ma Xiaotian a few times, but now he is still looking at him with deep meaning. "You are Ma Xiaotian?"

Ma Xiaotian glanced at Zhan Jiu again, seeing Zhan Jiu frying his own computer, he straightened his back immediately: "Yes. You must be Mr. Zhan, right? It's the first time we meet, hello."

Zhan Lie nodded: "I heard from Zhan Rin that your appraisal talent is quite good, and today you have invited many well-known appraisers in the capital. If you are interested, you can go to communicate with them. Ah Zhu, you go Go downstairs with him."

It's really rude to drive people away so obviously!Ma Xiaotian immediately frowned, the most important thing is that he has not received the gift yet!So in line with the principle that you must not suffer losses, and you must express dissatisfaction when you suffer losses, he said without fear of death: "Actually, I don't want to communicate with other appraisers. I am a very traditional person, and I have a teacher's inheritance. Presumably Mr. Zhan must know who my teacher is. Of course, I can leave the study, but you can just say that you have something to talk to brother Jiu. Mrs. Six, let's go down. I think what Mr. Zhan meant, and I don't want you Hear their conversation."

Although Zhan Lie heard that Zhan Rin said that Ma Xiaotian was very arrogant and a very poor spirit person, he also learned from Zhan Feng and others that this was Zhan Rin's slander after losing to Ma Xiaotian.What's more, he knows his son very well, he likes Zhan Rin very much, so he also understands how bad this son's temper is, and he has to look at the comments of a person who has offended him.And he also knows a little bit about Zhan Jiu, that kid will never find someone who is perverse.But looking at it today, Ma Xiaotian's character is really questionable. He is so rude to himself, and his words can be said to be straightforward, but they can even be said to be unreasonable.

However, Zhan Lie didn't say anything to Ma Xiaotian, but waited for Nan Zhu to take Ma Xiaotian out with the child in his arms, and Zhan Ying closed the door outside, before he said: "This is the partner you are looking for? He has no respect for his eyes, sharp teeth and sharp mouth! "

As soon as the door was closed, Zhan Jiu's mood dropped to a low point immediately.Zhan Lie said such a sentence again, how could he listen to it. "Xiaotian has always respected his teacher and other elders in the military department. Unless someone deliberately provokes him, Xiaotian never takes the initiative to attack others. Therefore, I especially like his so-called 'disrespecting elders, sharp teeth' .”

"You!" Zhan Lie was choked back by Zhan Jiu's words, and his eyes widened immediately. "Is this how you talk to elders?"

Zhan Jiu replied: "As you have seen, as you have heard. I think Mr. Zhan specially asked us to come here today, not to show off to me that he has added a son, right?"

Ever since Zhan Jiu regained his talent, every time the two of them spoke, they would be tit for tat.Zhan Lie never thought about how he ignored Zhan Jiu when his talent was not there, nor did he consider that after Zhan Jiu regained his talent, he also regarded him as the Patriarch's competitor.He only remembered that his son had never heard his words. "Zhan Jiu, do you have to talk to me like that? I am the one who gave you life no matter what!"

Zhan Jiu nodded: "This sentence is correct. But the other person who gave me life was killed because of you. Don't think I don't know anything, I just haven't got to the bottom of it yet."

Zhan Lie took two steps back and forth, looked at Zhan Jiu: "Just because you always thought your mother was killed by someone, that's why you hate me, the Zhan family?"

Zhan Jiu sneered: "Is this just what I think? In fact, I believe that you really didn't know anything at the beginning, but then... I don't want to comment on this at all. And I have never hated the Zhan family, because I I don't think it's worth it, and it doesn't make sense. I never cared about what you care about. Just like you don't care about whether a child without talent is dead or alive. Of course, I survived and lived Well done, now working in a special department of the military, this must be something that none of you want to see. But unfortunately, everything in this world cannot be changed by your will. Let me guess , What is the purpose of you calling me here today? If I am not wrong, it is because I entered the military department, right?"

Zhan Lie frowned: "Then what explanation do you have? You promised me that you would not enter the military headquarters."

Zhan Jiu smiled: "I think the third master Zhan has forgotten something. The person who promised you not to join the military department was called Zhan Jiuxiao, not me. Zhan Jiuxiao is no matter whether it is on the family tree of the Zhan family or It's all gone in my heart. There's no point in saying those words anymore."

There was already an angry look on Zhan Lie's face: "So you must take revenge?"

Zhan Jiu was speechless: "You take the Zhan family and yourself too seriously. I can only tell you, don't let Zhan Lin and your other children and even your subordinates bother me. Don't try to move Xiaotian's mind, Otherwise, we have no relatives, no reason, and no one who is afraid of being implicated, but we will fight everything. And I think you also know that Xiaotian is Uncle Zhao's godson, and the apprentice of the appraisal master Dong Lao. If you touch him, who will you be? There is no benefit at all. It is best for us not to disturb each other in the future, so that we can live in peace."

Zhan Lie frowned: "Do you think Zhan Yan is a good person? Do you think your uncle and I found that killer?"

Zhan Jiu shrugged: "So what? The person who wanted to kill me lost his arm and injured his inner bone. If there is another time, no matter who sent that person, the result will only be worse."
