Chapter 280: Compensation for liquidated damages

Xue Pengchen smiled awkwardly, remembering what people had come to report, and sighed inwardly that Gu Master was really "low-key" a little special.
"Head, are you here to take me back to the sect?"
With a smile on his face, Xue Wanqing approached Gu Zhong, holding Gu Zhong's arm.
"Hahaha, you guessed it right."
Scratching Xue Wanqing's nose favorably, Gu Zhong followed Xue's father and daughter back to Xue's house first.
After all, the girl’s family, when returning to the sect, he still has to go back and pack up large bags and small bags.
...
There are only Gu Zhong and Xue Pengchen in the Xue family's living room.
At this time, Gu Zhong returned to a long cold face, and he was no different from the gentle and considerate head of Xue Wanqing outside the city gate.
"Is the ancient head in trouble?" Xue Pengchen sat down and said, "If you have any troubles, you can tell me, Xue Mou may be able to share your worries for you."
Before at the foot of Jinyangmen Mountain, if Gu Zhong hadn't promised to let Wanqing come back to the house for two days, I'm afraid he would not be able to reunite with his precious daughter now.
"Patriarch Xue, you should know the Mingyue Sect of Profound Sky City, right?"
Mingyuezong... Could it be that Mingyuezong provoke Gu Zhong, I have to say that Xue Pengchen's brain is quite bright, and he guessed the idea as soon as he guessed it.
"Mingyue Sect is the major sect of Profound Sky City, so I have naturally heard of it."
Not only have heard of it, but also done a few businesses.
Gu Zhong leaned on the armrest, resting his chin in one hand, and squinted his eyes and said, "This Mingyue Sect has offended this seat."
Sure enough, I really guessed it.
However, it should not be the Mingyue Sect who offended the ancient bell, it should be that the Mingyue Sect wanted to suppress the Cangshan Sect and angered the ancient bell.
After all, they are also a seven-stream sect, and it is not considered to be offended.
But thinking about it carefully, Gu Zhong didn't even pay attention to the Jinyangmen, how could he care about a seven-tier sect.
If Han Mingyue knew Xue Pengchen's thoughts, he would hide in a corner and cry.
"President Xue, I heard that you have some business contacts?"
Gu Zhong said straightforwardly: "I am a person who always loves and hates, and Patriarch Xue should know this."
"Understood." Xue Pengchen nodded. Because of Xue Wanqing's affairs, Gu Zhong never gave him a good face. Even slapped him in the face in public at the alchemy ceremony.
If he was replaced by someone else, he would still give him a little bit of face for the Patriarch, which shows that Gu Zhong is a man with no scruples.
"There are several shops under the Mingyue Sect, medicinal materials, and some high-level medicinal herbs are purchased from my Xue family."
"Oh?" Gu Zhong pretended not to know, raised his eyebrows, and said, "What does Patriarch Xue mean?"
"Wan Qing is now the alchemist of the Cangshan School, and she is my only prostitute. Naturally, she wants to help her."
"If not"
"Oh? What did Wan Qing say?" Listening to Xue Pengchen's meaning, the father and daughter are reconciled?
"Hahaha, I would also like to thank the head of Gu, Wan Qing said that it is the head of Gu, you said kind to me in front of her, otherwise she would not..."
Um... This is just to use this seat as a shield... When did this seat say good things to Old Man Xue?
"Hehehe, it's good to be reconciled. For the Mingyue Sect, I have to trouble the Patriarch to help me out."
Speaking, he took out a bottle of pill from his arms, handed it to Xue Pengchen, and said lightly:
"Here is a bottle of Third Stage Qi Gathering Pill. There are five in total. Let's try it."
"Three-rank Qi Gathering Pill?" Xue Pengchen's expression changed. Isn't the Qi Gathering Pill that caused a sensation in Black Mountain City before, and it is said that taking one pill can improve one level of cultivation?
Xue Pengchen heard that there was such a miraculous pill, and even tried to find a way to study it, but the price of this pill was too high, and it was still priceless.
As a result, Gu Zhong took out five at once, which made him not surprised.
By the way, the Jiang family is the family of the Black Mountain City. Did the Chief Jiang give five of them in a big way in order to curry favor with the ancient leader? ?
This is a pill worth more than one million gold coins. It's not right. If Clan Chief Jiang only gave them five in total, how could Gu Zhong bring them all to him?
Moreover, the Xue family is also a family that runs the pill business. Gu Zhong is not afraid that he resells these pill medicines, which will affect the progress of the Jiang family's auction?
And judging from the influence of the Xue family in the entire southern region, if the Xue family were to auction off the pill, it would surely attract more people.
Xue Pengchen's expression changed several times. Should he accept it? Isn't Gu Zhong testing him?
"Accept it, I know that you who are in business, if you break the contract, you will have to subdue the liquidated damages, these will be regarded as compensation."
It turned out that the ancient clock meant this. In that case, let's accept it. The pill worth one million gold coins has been delivered to the eyes.
"Then I will respect my fate, hahaha." Xue Pengchen smiled heartily and took the pill into his arms. Gu Zhong added the pill. Naturally, he would not avenge his grievance and use it for auction to affect the development of the pill industry in Montenegro.
Since this pill is so magical, it's better to use it for the disciples in the family to study and take.
As for the liquidated damages mentioned by Gu Zhong, it is not worth mentioning compared with these pills.
After the transaction was completed, the two men drank tea and chatted again. In the evening, Gu Zhong took a rest at Xue's house. Take Xue Wanqing back to the sect the next day.
At night, in the garden of the Xue family.
Gu Zhong and Xue Wanqing sat side by side on a quiet white stone step.
"The family's affairs are resolved? Can you get the antidote?"
Xue Wanqing smiled and shook her head, and said with relief: "No, this poison has no solution. I can only slowly clear the meridians by myself."
"But don't worry about the boss, I'm very content with what I am now."
"What about Xue Ning?" Gu Zhong asked again, but Xue Ning, a wicked woman, had killed her like this, otherwise she should be a stunningly talented family eldest at this moment, and she has a fiance who is right. Although it's a beast...
"She was locked in a dungeon by her father and will never come out."
"After all, it's the father's flesh and blood, and I don't want to cause a father to kill his daughter..."
"She was aggressive before."
Gu Zhong hopes that his disciple is kind and does not forget his original intention, but he is not a good old person who repays his grievances with virtue. After all, people like Xue Ning are not like people who would be grateful to Xiao Wanqing, and then change their minds and behave again.
On the contrary, he would curse Xue Wanqing in the dungeon for a lifetime, and then it would be possible to take revenge by all means.
"Hahaha, you think more about it, the head."
Seeing Gu Zhong's worried face, Xue Wanqing suddenly smiled brightly and said: "Father blocked her veins. Over time, the spiritual energy of her whole body will collapse. Let alone alchemy, you can't practice cultivation."
"Such Xue Ning no longer poses any threat to me."
