Upon hearing Situ Hong's words, Tan Xiu was stunned. But then, he realized that this man probably knew about his identity as a cultivator. After all, whether it was the talismans he sold to the Situ Family, or the matter of him killing Jin Sanchi, Jin Sijie, and Daoist Qiankun, as well as sending people to wipe out the eight major families of the Strange Doors, it was likely that the Strange Doors Family had already investigated it.
"He's afraid of me."
Tan Xiu shot a deep look at Situ Hong and found fear surging in his eyes. He immediately forced a wry smile inwardly.
At the side.
Xue Yu stared blankly with a surprised look on her face. Huo Siming was even more dumbfounded. He really couldn't figure out why such an old man would buy a precious spirit fruit out of his own pocket and then give it to someone else for free? The most ridiculous thing was that he seemed to be afraid that the other party wouldn't accept it, so he even apologized.
Black Widow, on the other hand, was dumbfounded with a look of disbelief in her eyes. She simply couldn't believe her ears. In her eyes, the most distinguished ancestor of the Situ Family, who she considered to be aloof and remote, actually spoke to Tan Xiu with honorifics. What was most unacceptable to her was that this ancestor of the Situ Family seemed to be … afraid of the young man in front of her, and even … flattered him?
What kind of situation was this?
Could it be that with the status of the Situ Family and the ability of this ancestor, there was no one in the entire Hua Xia that could make him dread?
Black Widow was afraid that Situ Hong was old and muddled, so she immediately reminded him after sobering up, "Senior Situ, did you make a mistake? He … "
"I'm not muddleheaded, nor did I make a mistake," said Situ Hong resolutely. "My attitude toward Grandmaster Tang just now was a big mistake, and I must correct it. That's why I must compensate Grandmaster Tang with this spirit fruit."
With that said, he chased after Tan Xiu and presented the Singular Recherché Fruit with both hands, saying, "Grandmaster Tang, please don't stoop to my level and be magnanimous. I'm sincerely apologizing. I hope you can accept it and give me a chance to make up for my mistake. "
Tan Xiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at Situ Hong. Since Situ Hong had already said so much, Tan Xiu didn't want to refuse again. After taking the Singular Recherché Fruit, he smiled and said, "Situ Hong, right? The people of the Situ Clan are really good, and they always satisfy me. Fine, I'll accept this Singular Recherché Fruit. "
Situ Hong's face lit up with joy. He said from the bottom of his heart, "It's my honor that you can accept it. It's almost noon, I wonder if I can have the honor to invite Master Tang for a meal? "
Tan Xiu thought for a while before shaking his head and said, "Forget it. I still have something to do later, so I'll skip the meal. However, for the sake of this Singular Recherché Fruit, I will give you a big gift. In half a month, you'd better go to Hong Kong and look for Li Juren. I'm sure you'll find something there. "
Li Juren?
Situ Hong stared blankly for a moment. He really knew Li Juren and even had a bit of friendship with him. Although he didn't know what the big gift Tan Xiu was talking about, he still respectfully said, "I'll definitely visit Li Juren personally when the time comes."
Tan Xiu nodded and said goodbye before leaving with Xue Yu. The purpose of his visit to the Medicinal Herbs Market was for this Singular Recherché Fruit. Now that he had gotten it, he didn't want to stay here any longer.
Inside the office.
Situ hong was not in a hurry to leave. His old face revealed an expression as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. Even after he sat back down on the sofa, the wrinkles on his face had already stretched out, and a smile climbed onto his face.
"I don't understand, Senior Situ."
Black Widow gritted her teeth and said after sitting down.
Huo Siming also didn't understand, so he also said, "I don't get it, either. Though I know that Tang Xiu is a young Divine Doctor in the Chinese medical field, and even I admire him a bit, I still can't figure it out. With your identity, why would you act like this in front of him …"
"So cautious? So respectful? So flattering? "
Situ Hong glanced at Huo Siming. The smile on his old face didn't change as he said, "If he's an ordinary person, he's indeed not qualified to make me act like this. But who is he? Is he just a young Divine Doctor in the Chinese medicine industry? Hahaha … how honorable is his identity? That's something you can't even imagine. Forget it. It's better if you don't know some things. In short, remember that you must never offend him in the future. You must even treat him like a little ancestor. "
"Humph."
Huo Siming snorted disdainfully inwardly, but he didn't refute Situ Hong's words on the surface. He was just a Medicinal Herbs Merchant and an old man. He wouldn't be as shameless as this Situ Hong in front of him.
Also!
Was the Situ Family very famous?
He knew a lot of big families in the provinces, but he had never heard of a big family surnamed Situ.
Black Widow, on the other hand, attached great importance to Situ Hong's warning. After nodding heavily, she looked at the direction of the door with a somewhat complicated expression. She knew Situ Hong's status in the Situ Family. Even a casual word from him could make the Situ Family's Patriarch flatter him with a smile. His status in the Strange Doors was absolutely a figure of Mount Tai and the Big Dipper. Who wouldn't be respectful in front of him?
But …
Who exactly was this Tan Xiu?
Inside the Medicinal Herbs Market.
Tan Xiu originally intended to leave directly, but Xue Yu said that she still wanted to buy some auxiliary herbs for the medicinal cuisine. Therefore, he had no choice but to follow her to look for and buy the herbs in the shops and stalls. In just half an hour, he saw that Xue Yu had spent more than 270,000 to buy those auxiliary herbs.
"What a wastrel!"
Tan Xiu couldn't help but secretly shake his head.
Finally.
When the last medicinal herb Xue Yu wanted to buy was packed, she said with a slightly regretful expression, "I've bought all the herbs for the medicinal cuisine. It's a pity that this place isn't in the Miao Region. Otherwise, the most important auxiliary herb, the ginseng, wouldn't need to be replaced by this artificially cultivated ordinary ginseng."
"I say, Eldest Miss, do you know the price of a wild ginseng?" Tan Xiu forced a smile. "Take the Millennium Wild Ginseng, for example. It's impossible to buy it without nine digits. You said before that the value of the Singular Recherché Fruit is more than nine digits. If you use the Millennium Wild Ginseng as the auxiliary herb, you'll have to spend two to three hundred million yuan to cook a medicinal cuisine. This … isn't this a wastrel?! Even the richest man in the world won't be able to withstand your tossing and turning. "
A smile was revealed on the corner of Xue Yu's mouth. Although she was carrying a lot of medicinal herbs, she still moved closer to Tan Xiu and chuckled, "The medicinal cuisine I'm going to cook this time is not the usual one for you. According to the ancient records of my clan, this is already a Divine Level Medicinal Cuisine. It's like a miraculous elixir that has great benefits for those who take it. Even if I want to drink it, I'm afraid I won't dare to drink too much. "
"Why?" Tan Xiu was puzzled.
"My body's strength can't withstand the medicinal effect," said Xue Yu.
Tan Xiu's eyes lit up. He pondered for a moment and resolutely said, "Since you really want to cook a perfect medicinal cuisine, then I'll follow your heart. I have the Millennium Wild Ginseng. I'll give it to you when we return to our residence. "
"Really?"
Xue Yu's expression greatly changed and she asked excitedly.
"Of course it's true. When have I, Tan Xiu, ever lied?" Tan Xiu snappily said. "But you gotta take it easy, Millennium Wild Ginseng! It's so difficult to get this kind of wild ginseng nowadays. "
Four hours later.
At Tomson Villa. Although Tan Xiu was sitting in the living room, a strong medicinal fragrance still drifted out from the kitchen door and floated throughout the hall. Whether it was after he came back from the Immortal World or when he was in the Immortal World, he had eaten a lot of delicacies. But this time, just the fragrance alone had aroused his appetite. Such a situation was really rare.
"Wash your hands and eat."
Xue Yu came out of the kitchen with an apron and a purple clay pot in her hand. When she came to the dining room and followed Tan Xiu to wash his hands, she carefully opened the lid of the purple clay pot and quickly scooped a bowl of fragrant medicinal cuisine. After putting it in front of Tan Xiu, she hurriedly said, "You're a cultivator and very powerful. So pay attention when you drink it. Don't ignore the medicinal efficacy contained in the medicinal cuisine just because of the taste. "
Tan Xiu smiled indifferently. Just as he was about to pick up the bowl and drink it, he saw Xue Yu grab a small spoon and scooped a spoonful of medicinal cuisine from the clay pot. She then stuck out her pink tongue and carefully licked it.
That's right!
She licked it.
Tang Xiu was accustomed to Xue Yu's solemn and aloof appearance. At this moment, seeing her lick the medicated diet with her pink and fragrant tongue unexpectedly gave him a different kind of seductive feeling. He even had a strong impulse that burst out from his lower abdomen.
"Damn it!"
Tan Xiu hurriedly lowered his head and silently recited the Clear Mind Art to suppress the hot and dry feeling. Drinking the medicinal cuisine was the most important thing at the moment. After all, the amount of medicinal cuisine was less than two bowls, yet it cost a huge sum of 200 to 300 million yuan.
"What a waste!"
Tan Xiu drank a mouthful of the medicinal cuisine with a bit of heartache. When he swallowed it, a scalding hot torrent instantly burst out, as though it turned into thousands of strands of heat that flooded his limbs and five organs like a tide.
"Drink it quickly, Tan Xiu. Once the lid is opened, the medicinal efficacy in the medicinal cuisine will be lost at a much faster rate. The earlier you drink it into your stomach, the more medicinal efficacy will be retained. " Xue Yu finally stopped licking the medicinal cuisine and carefully took a small sip. After drinking it, she looked at Tan Xiu and said.
Tang Xiu stared blankly for a moment before gulping down all the medicated diet in the bowl. Under the worried expression of Xue Yu, he directly filled a small half bowl for her and then poured the rest of the medicated diet in the purple casserole into his own bowl and gulped it down into his stomach.
"Hot!"
After Tan Xiu drank the medicinal cuisine, the only feeling he had was heat. Not only the surface of his body, but also the inside of his body. Even his internal organs seemed to be wrapped in a monstrous heat wave.
At this moment.
Despite Tan Xiu's strong willpower, he was still dizzy from the sudden burst of medicinal efficacy. His whole body seemed to have turned into a big furnace.
