Global Cataclysm: Appearance of Ancestral Tablets at the Beginning

Chi Lin wryly smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, the Xing family once came to contact me and wanted me to join their firm as the shopkeeper, but..."

"But what?"

Chen An was a little surprised. The Chi family behind the Chihuo Merchant Group couldn't compare to the real nobles. This is a good opportunity to reach the sky in one step.

Chi Lin hesitated for a moment, and then said: "They are big nobles, but because they are big nobles, those people are not disciplined enough, and they often want to sell at higher prices. There are many idiots among them, relying on their status as aristocrats, they even want to sell the rags to some oasis towns on the edge of the desert..."

"Also, they occasionally cameo as sand robbers, even when they were carrying lucrative cargo."

"That Xingchang is more like a speculative adventurer. I don't think I can do better than before by following them."

Chi Lin smiled, praised and criticized, and carefully flattered Chen An.

Chen An understood.

This isn't a caravan, it's basically a young man who came out of the city to have fun.

It is completely whimsical for this kind of caravan to compete with the five major trading houses of Chihuo.

Secretly remembering the name Xingchang in his heart, Chen An continued, "Where is the other person?"

"The other person is Xue Fengyi, who has a higher status than Xingchang, and seems to have had a lot of contacts with the Turtle Clan in recent years."

Regarding Xue Fengyi, Chi Lin did not introduce too much.

According to him, compared to Xingchang, although he has motives, he is relatively low-key. If he wants to investigate, it is difficult to get useful information.

"Okay, put the things down, I'll look at the rest later."

"You live in the room next to me."

A flash of excitement flashed in Yaphos' eyes, and he nodded quickly: "Okay."

Living next door not only guarantees safety, but also shows that the adult's trust in him has taken a step forward.

No matter what it is, it can make tooth phosphorus happy.

But before he could go out, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

Chen An didn't mean to shy away from Chi Lin, and said directly.

Chi Yu walked in, glanced at Chi Phosphate, and he reported directly: "My lord, there are people visiting outside the door."

"Oh?"

Chen An had been prepared for a long time, but he was a little surprised by the nobles who were recruited at this time.

The first day has not yet passed, will you be too impulsive?

"who is it?"

"Here comes the report, it is said that he is from the Xing family."

Teeth lowered his head.

Xingjia, he didn't know who the Xingjia was, but since he had a different surname, he was supposed to be a nobleman, so he didn't dare to neglect and came to report in person.

"Xingjia."

Chen An's face was a little dignified.

"Come with me." He looked at Yalin.

The latter agreed immediately.

After leaving the room, Chi Yu took him to the living room. Chen An and Chi Lin also walked towards the living room.

Moments later, the person has been brought.

The person who came was an old man with a good-looking face, but Chen An would not be confused by this appearance. The person in front of him might be the leader of today's attack.

There were two silent guards behind him, but before entering the door, Xingchang left the door outside.

"Master Bainiu Clan Messenger, old man Xingchang, I heard that you are entering the city today, so I am here to pay a visit."

Xingchang bowed, looking very polite.

Chen An got up quickly and returned the courtesy.

"Xingjia, even though I'm often in the White Bull Clan, I've heard of it occasionally, but it's a remarkable aristocratic family."

Chen An opened his eyes and spoke nonsense.

"Oh, really?"

Xingchang was a little happy, I don't know if it was a show, but Chen An felt quite real.

If Chi Lin had reminded him before, he might really have believed in the other party's kindness.

But now...

As soon as he thought that the attack at noon might be done by the other party, Chen An lost his good opinion.

"I don't know why Patriarch Xingchang came here for..."

Chen An looked curiously.

Xingchang hesitated for a few seconds, and finally he gritted his teeth and opened his mouth.

"I'm here to tell you something!"

"Oh?"

Chen An signaled the other party to continue talking.

Xingchang sat on one side, looked up at Chi Lin, and frowned slightly. The latter didn't respond at all, but Chen An took the initiative to explain.

"This is my aide, you can just tell me what you have to do."

"Well, I just didn't expect that the well-known Red Phosphorus of the Red Fire Merchant Group would be recruited by my lord. My lord is a good means."

Xingchang raised his hand and fisted.

As Tooth said, Xingjia once recruited the other party.

Although he didn't go there in person, the other party's refusal made the entire Xing family angry for a while. If the Chi family hadn't tried their best to protect it, Chi Lin might not have survived until now.

Before coming, Xingchang had already investigated Chen An's entourage.

He is not extraordinary, but even if he is a heavenly class, his memory is quite outstanding. At that time, he remembered the name of Chi Lin.

"Is such that."

"At noon today, your team was attacked, I know who did it!"

Xingchang looked at Chen An without blinking, and said firmly.

"Oh?"

Chen An showed a bit of dignity and hatred: "Who is it!"

"It's the Xue family!"

Xingchang also had hatred in his eyes.

"When I found out, they had already set off for a long time and failed to protect the envoy. Xingchang was guilty."

Chen An watched his performance, frowning slightly.

This old man has something, and he can put it away freely.

If it wasn't reported by the other party, but that it was the Xue family who had interests with the Turtle Clan, he would have to confirm that the person in front of him was the mastermind behind the attack on him.

"Xue family, Xue Fengyi?"

"It's a trouble."

Chen An whispered, and immediately made a decision.

Teng stood up, and Chen An showed an angry face: "However, even if this is a half-dragon clan, I will never let it go!"

Xingchang looked at him and heaved a sigh of relief.

Whether the other party believes it or not, at least he buried this seed here.

The Xue family has cooperation with the Turtle Clan, and his Xing family also intends to expand this route.

In this case, the two parties are not allies, but implicit competitors.

If he could fool the white bull in front of him and rush to trouble Xue Fengyi, his goal would be achieved.

The opponent's realm and strength are not worth mentioning.

But the identity of the envoy is there, even some down-and-out nobles will not carry more weight than Chen An's words at the moment.

"Thank you, Patriarch Xing, for reminding me."

Chen An thought for a while, and replied politely.

"Well, the words have been brought, and the old man will not stay. If you have free time, the messenger might as well go to my Xingjia and sit down."

"That's natural."

Chen An replied immediately.

He has no such plans for now.

The other party may be the mastermind behind the assassination of him. Unless his mind is flooded, he will never consider going to a potential enemy's house as a guest.

Xingchang got up satisfied.

He was looking forward to what expressions those members of the Xue family would have if they were guarded by this emissary.
