Yan Qingxue and the rest were moved by Su Xin's righteous words, especially Chi Rang.
He even sighed in his heart. No wonder he was a young hero on the Ranking List of Young Masters. His awareness was so high. The phrase 'the greatest hero is for the country and the people' was simply too appropriate.
"Young Master Meng is indeed righteous. I admire you." Hearing what Su Xin said, Yan Qingxue couldn't bring herself to say what she wanted to recruit him.
Uncle Liang anxiously signaled with his eyes. What were they waiting for?
Of course, Su Xin also saw this. This time, he couldn't pretend anymore. He quickly said, "Miss Yan, you didn't just come to thank me, right? Just tell me what you need. As long as it doesn't go against my bottom line, I will definitely help. "
Yan Qingxue hesitated and said, "Young Master Meng, although this request is a little abrupt, I still have to say it. I want to ask you to help me."
She didn't say she wanted to recruit Meng Qingze as her subordinate. For a powerful person like him who was on the Ranking List of Young Masters, you could ask him for help, but you definitely didn't have the qualifications to ask him to be your subordinate.
She said it tactfully. Of course, Su Xin wouldn't agree immediately. "I'm sorry, Miss Yan. If it's something else, I can help. But I'm going to travel around Xiang Nan. I really don't have much time to stay in Merchant Mountain City.
Also, this is an internal matter of your Merchant Mountain City. It's not good for an outsider like me to intervene. "
Uncle Liang quickly said, "Young Master Meng, don't be in a hurry to refuse. If you agree to help my Miss, this painting is yours."
Uncle Liang opened the scroll and revealed the portrait of Shen Xijun that was personally drawn by Zong Haoyang.
Su Xin was stunned at first. Then, he suddenly remembered the origin of this painting. He purposely showed a shocked expression and said, "This is the painting that my master gave to Master's wife?"
Secretly, Su Xin wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He had almost been exposed.
At first, he really didn't remember the meaning of this painting.
Fortunately, Tie Wuqing gave him a lot of information about Zong Haoyang to prevent others from using Zong Haoyang to test him.
Among them was a description of the painting. Although it was only one sentence, Su Xin was 99% sure that it was the painting when he put the two together.
Sure enough, Yan Qingxue said, "This is indeed the painting that Zong Haoyang gave to his first love. But if Young Master Meng isn't willing to help me, I will give this painting to Young Master Meng to thank you for your help yesterday."
Su Xin took the scroll and said in a deep voice, "There's no need to do this. This scroll is very important to my master. That year, he searched for it for a long time, but to no avail. He thought it was destroyed by the Chen family.
If I take this painting back now, Master will be very happy. Just based on this, I am willing to join Miss Yan. "
Hearing Su Xin's promise, Uncle Liang and the others were delighted. Yan Qingxue's eyes were also shining, but she quickly said, "Young Master Meng, don't say that. Qingxue is already very grateful that you came to help me. How can I let Young Master Meng be my subordinate?"
Su Xin shook his head with a smile and said, "Nothing can be accomplished without rules. In any place, there must be a hierarchy. If I join Miss Yan's service, then I will be your subordinate. Otherwise, what will others think?"
Uncle Liang looked at Su Xin and had a very good impression of this powerhouse on the Ranking List of Young Masters.
Previously, he was really worried that if Meng Qingze really decided to help Miss, then how would his position be arranged?
If both sides were treated equally, then who should the people who joined Miss in the future listen to?
Now that Meng Qingze actually knew when to advance and retreat, thinking for Yan Qingxue, Uncle Liang couldn't help but feel grateful to him.
At this time, the spy who had been following behind Yan Qingxue naturally heard the news and quickly passed the information to Yan Zhongheng and the others.
After hearing the news, everyone's first reaction was to not believe it. But after knowing that it was because of that painting, everyone's face suddenly turned ashen.
These days, respecting one's master was the number one rule in Jianghu. A master for a day is a father for life. This saying was not just for show.
Other than those devils who deceived their masters and destroyed their ancestors, other people would strictly abide by this rule, let alone Meng Qingze.
Knowing that Yan Qingxue took out this painting, they knew that the matter was irreversible. Meng Qingze joining Yan Qingxue's subordinates was almost a done deal.
This matter made Yan Zhongheng fall on the spot. He called Zhang Guang over and said angrily, "Yesterday, you didn't let me deal with that Meng Qingze. Today, he was directly recruited by that woman Yan Qingxue!
Also, how did that woman get Zong Haoyang's painting? Why didn't we have any news at all? "
Zhang Guang's face was also very ugly. How did he know that Yan Qingxue would actually have Zong Haoyang's painting in her hands?
"Young Master, that Zong Haoyang has been missing for more than ten years. Even if someone got his painting, who would notice? Who would have thought that after more than ten years, he actually taught a disciple to return to the Central Plains? "
Yan Zhongheng's face was gloomy as he said, "Bring some people and follow me to meet that Meng Qingze again. I want to let him know the consequences of meddling in our Merchant Mountain City's internal affairs!"
Zhang Guang nodded and said, "I'll go get people now. Young Master, you don't have to be anxious. Right now, Young Master and the others are probably even more anxious than us. They will definitely bring people over.
Now that Meng Qingze has joined, they will definitely take out their hidden trump cards. "
Yan Zhongheng nodded. This matter wasn't just about him. His other brothers shouldn't think of staying out of this.
Yan Zhongheng and the other three brothers majestically rushed towards the inn. At this moment, inside the inn, Yan Qingxue said softly, "Since Young Master Meng wants to join us, I'll go gather all my subordinates and return to the residence to welcome Young Master Meng."
With Meng Qingze joining, Yan Qingxue immediately felt the pressure on her body lighten.
Su Xin's lips curled into a smile, "There's no need to rush. I believe that the people who were following behind you have already spread the news that I've joined you. Some of them might not be able to resist the urge to rush over.
We don't have to leave either. We'll just wait for them here. This Meng will meet them first and give Miss Yan a big gift at the same time. "
Yan Qingxue asked curiously, "What big gift?"
"Let the entire Merchant Mountain City know that you already have the strength to compete with Yan Zhongheng and the others!"
At the side, the little maid Lu Li's eyes sparkled like little stars. As expected of a Ranking List of Young Masters. This aura was so domineering.
"Boom!"
The inn's door was directly kicked open. Yan Zhongheng and the others walked in with their subordinates. When they saw Yan Qingxue and Su Xin sitting at a table, their faces couldn't help but reveal a trace of gloominess.
Yan Zhongheng sneered, "Meng Qingze, it's fine that you interfered with the Wind Cloud Ring's competition yesterday, but now you actually dare to meddle in our Merchant Mountain City's internal affairs. Do you really think that you can do whatever you want just because you're on the Ranking List?
Even your master 'Si Jue Wanderer' Zong Haoyang wouldn't dare to behave atrociously in Merchant Mountain City. What right do you have, Meng Qingze! "
Yan Shuheng also let out a sigh and said, "Little sister, why do you have to do this? Hand over the token and I'll naturally guarantee you a lifetime of riches and honor. There are some things that you can't fight for. "
Su Xin wanted to say something, but Yan Qingxue actually stood up first and said, "Big brother, it's not that I want to fight. I just want to protect what's mine.
And second brother, Young Master Meng isn't interfering with our Merchant Mountain City's internal affairs. He was invited by me to help me.
You guys can invite people from the sects behind you to be your subordinates, so why can't I? "
Yan Zhongheng and the others all looked at Yan Qingxue in astonishment. Usually, when faced with their criticism, Yan Qingxue would only respond with silence. Since when did she dare to refute them so brazenly?
Su Xin, on the other hand, secretly nodded his head. At least he hadn't misjudged him.
Yan Qingxue's personality was gentle and kind, not weak and easily bullied.
If she was really weak and easily bullied, she wouldn't have kept the token until now. Yan Zhongheng or someone else would have long taken it away.
In the past, Yan Qingxue didn't dare to refute Yan Zhongheng and the others and could only endure it. That was because her subordinates didn't have the strength and didn't have the qualifications to challenge them.
Now that there was Su Xin, she seemed to have more courage.
Yan Jiheng said coldly from the side, "Yan Qingxue, a woman like you wants to fight for the position of City Lord? It's simply wishful thinking! "
"Wimpy brat, if your mother knew that you look down on women like this, she would be sad." Su Xin said lightly.
He said that he would give Yan Qingxue a big gift. Of course, he wouldn't let her be humiliated by Yan Zhongheng and the others.
Yan Jiheng had been an eyesore to him for a long time. Although Su Xin's current age was not much older than his, his mental age was far beyond his.
Sure enough, Yan Jiheng was angered by Su Xin's words. He shouted at Su Xin with a flushed face, "Who are you calling a wimpy brat? So what if you're on the Ranking List of Young Masters? You're just at the bottom of the Ranking List of Young Masters. What qualifications do you have to be arrogant? Believe it or not, I won't let you walk out of Merchant Mountain City today! "
Yan Jiheng and the others caused such a big commotion that it directly attracted the warriors of Merchant Mountain City around the inn.
But of course, they didn't dare to get close to join in the fun. They only dared to watch from afar.
After listening to Yan Jiheng's words, everyone couldn't help but secretly curl their lips. They secretly thought that the youngest son of the City Lord was still too young and inexperienced. He dared to say anything.
It was true that Meng Qingze was at the bottom of the Ranking List of Young Masters, but what was the Ranking List of Young Masters? It was the ranking list of all the young talents of this generation in Jiang Hu.
In the entire Jiang Hu, there weren't many Xiantian Realm warriors. How many Xiantian Realm warriors were there under the age of thirty-five? There were at least a hundred thousand of them.
To be able to rank in the top one hundred and eight of these hundred thousand people, even if it was only at the bottom, it was still their strength.
At least, your second brother Yan Zhongheng was also at the Xiantian Realm and was only thirty years old. But he didn't even touch the edge of the Ranking List of Young Masters and was defeated by Meng Qingze with one sword.
