Xu Ziyan glanced at the talisman, and she was taken aback for a moment. She clearly saw that the talisman in the middle-aged man's hand was just a first-grade paper talisman. Just such a piece of talisman is worth five hundred taels of silver, and it is not considered the top-level paper talisman among the first-grade talismans, it can only barely be regarded as the first-class. Since I have the inheritance, I don't know how many times I have copied it in my consciousness, and I have fully comprehended the art of making talismans. Although there is no talisman pen and talisman paper, Xu Ziyan has never made a talisman by himself, but Xu Ziyan firmly believes that with his own comprehension and thousands of times of copying in his consciousness, he will be able to make a stronger talisman than the one in front of him. So when Xu Ziyan saw the paper talisman clearly, Xu Ziyan couldn't help curling his lips, with disdain in his eyes, and said lightly:

"Do I still need to steal such a paper talisman? I can make it myself."

Xu Ximei, who was kneeling on the ground, was furious when she heard this, she raised her head and cursed: "What kind of wind is blowing, I'm not afraid that the wind will flash your tongue, do you know that only my second uncle in the entire Zhongdu City can make such a talisman!"

On the contrary, the second uncle was amused by Xu Ziyan, "hehe" said with a smile: "Girl, if you can make a first-grade paper talisman, you don't need to be better than mine. As long as it is first-grade, even if it is inferior, I will Just admit that you are not a thief."

"Okay, untie me!" Xu Ziyan said cheerfully.

"Untie!" Er Bo said lightly.

The two people who had been standing beside Xu Ziyan untied Xu Ziyan with mocking faces. Xu Ziyan moved his numb arms a few times, and suddenly remembered that he did not have the talisman paper and talisman pen, and he was dumbfounded all of a sudden. stood there. Seeing Xu Ziyan's dazed appearance, Xu Ximei believed even more in her heart that Xu Ziyan could not make talismans and was lying there, so she said sarcastically:

"What? Do you want to prepare talisman paper and talisman pen for you?"

Xu Ziyan nodded awkwardly, and said weakly to the second uncle: "I don't have talisman paper and talisman pen."

The second uncle's expression didn't change at all, he just waved his hand at Xu Ximei's fourth uncle and said:

"Fourth brother, prepare talisman paper and talisman pen for her."

Of course, Xu's shop sells talisman pens and blank talisman paper. Uncle Fourth went into the counter without saying a word, took out a talisman pen and a blank talisman paper, put them on the counter, and looked at Xu Ziyan lightly.

Xu Ziyan walked slowly to the front of the counter, smoothed the talisman paper on the counter with both hands, then lifted the talisman pen, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and calmed down his mind slowly. The familiar process of making talismans that cannot be re-familiar was played back in his consciousness. When he opened his eyes again, they were already clear. Evenly transport the aura in the body to the tip of the pen, and the pen goes like a dragon without any pause, and a piece of talisman is drawn by Xu Ziyan in an instant. There was a faint spiritual energy flowing on the paper talisman, and its brilliance flickered. Xu Ziyan sighed softly, checked silently, and found that making a first-grade paper talisman consumed one-tenth of the aura in his body. Make ten first-rank talismans.

Xu Ziyan was still sighing dissatisfiedly there, and the eyeballs of the second uncle who had a calm face next to him almost fell off at this time. He is a master of making talismans from the Xu family. If others don't know the goods, how can he not recognize that what Xu Ziyan made is a top-notch paper talisman?

With trembling hands, he carefully picked up the paper talisman on the counter, held it in his hands, brought it up close and looked carefully, and finally decided that it was a top-notch first-grade paper talisman. Looking up excitedly at Xu Ziyan standing in front of him, he took a deep breath, gently put the paper talisman in his hand on the counter, and then bowed to Xu Ziyan very politely and said:

"Master, this is Xu Haobo, the head of the Xu family's talisman hall. May I ask what your name is?"

"Senior, junior can't be called a master." Xu Ziyan waved his hands repeatedly and said: "The junior is called Xu Ziyan."

Xu Haobo heard Xu Ziyan's name,

His eyes lit up, he looked up and down Xu Ziyan, and asked doubtfully:

"Your surname is Xu? But we are from the Xu family? Which family are you descended from? Why haven't I met you?"

"I'm not from your Xu family."

Xu Ziyan immediately denied Xu Haobo's words. She didn't want to selflessly contribute to the Xu family when she had no ability to protect herself. Besides, she didn't know the Xu family well, so she didn't want to return to the family in a daze. She felt that sometimes, the identity of an outsider was more free than the identity of the family.

"Then... where is Master Xianxiang?"

"Very far!" Xu Ziyan replied ambiguously.

"Oh~~" Xu Haobo was very sophisticated and didn't delve too deeply into it, but he was still very polite and said with respect in his tone: "Master, are you planning to settle in Zhongdu City?"

"I had this plan at first, but now it seems that it is not safe to settle in the capital city." Speaking of this, Xu Ziyan glanced at Xu Ximei who was still kneeling on the ground, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes.

At this time, everyone present knew that Xu Ziyan was a master of talismans to them. How could such a master who can make top-level talismans steal paper talismans? It turned pale in an instant. She knew very well in her heart that she had framed Xu Ziyan just now and slapped Xu Ziyan in the face. She didn't understand that it was someone taking revenge on herself. Thinking about losing fifty first-grade paper talismans of the family, I felt a thud in my head and passed out.

Xu Haobo glanced at Xu Ximei who was unconscious on the ground, then turned his head to stare at the guilty fourth uncle, and snorted coldly, the fourth uncle trembled, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead. Hastily gave a deep salute to Xu Ziyan and said:

"Master, I offended Master just now because I was blind and blind. I beg Master to forgive me."

"It seems that you ordered me to be tied up just now?" Xu Ziyan said angrily.

"Master," Xu Haobo said with a deep bow, "Our Xu family is willing to make up for what we offended just now. Can Master consider staying in our Xu family as a guest?"

Xu Ziyan looked up at Xu Haobo, and saw complicated gazes in his eyes. A policeman was in his heart, and he quickly calculated in his heart. It seems that in Zhongdu City, this grade of talisman maker is an extremely scarce occupation. Seeing Xu Haobo's meaning, he is willing to spend a lot of money to keep him, and at the same time If you reject the other party, I am afraid that the other party will not let a talent like yourself be recruited by other families, and maybe kill yourself.

Thinking of this, Xu Ziyan couldn't help sighing in his heart. Little people without strength have a lot of helplessness and sorrow. Xu Ziyan, who knows everything, knows that she has to join the family, but she doesn't want to agree to the other party so easily. In fact, she has no resistance to joining the family. She has no impression of her family at all. The reason why she doesn't want to To return to the family, I just don't want to be bound. Now seeing that he must join the family, he wants to get as much freedom as possible. So, pretending not to see Xu Haobo's complicated eyes, he said lightly:

"How will your Xu family compensate me?"

Xu Haobo heard that Xu Ziyan's tone showed signs of loosening, and hurriedly said:

"Master, Xu Ximei, this dead girl, will be handed over to you, and you can dispose of it as you please. As for my fourth brother Xu Haomiao's kidnapping of you, our Xu family is willing to pay 50,000 taels of silver to ask for your forgiveness."

At this time, Xu Ximei, who was unconscious on the ground, had woken up. When she heard that the second uncle had handed herself over to Xu Ziyan to deal with at will, her heart sank to the bottom, and she was shaking with fright. She knew in her heart that for her life at the bottom of the Xu family Even if Xu Ziyan killed her on the spot, the Xu family would deal with her like a dead dog. Struggling to get up from the ground, waving both hands while slapping his face fiercely, kneeling in front of Xu Ziyan and praying:

"Master, spare your life! Master, spare your life!"

Seeing that Xu Ximei's face had been pumped purple by herself, and blood was dripping from the corner of her mouth, Xu Ziyan frowned in disgust, and stretched out her index finger to hook upwards. Xu Ximei stopped in a daze, stood up from the ground, and looked at Xu Ziyan pleadingly. Xu Ziyan rounded her right hand, and slapped Xu Ximei's face fiercely, causing Xu Ximei to turn around on the spot and fall to the ground. Then he shook his hand lightly, and said lightly:

"It's better to play by yourself!"

Xu Haobo's gaze shrank, as if he had some understanding of Xu Ziyan's character, and he couldn't help but worry about gains and losses. He really wants Xu Ziyan to join his family. If Xu Ziyan joins his family, the strength of Xu's family will immediately rise to a higher level. For a family, a first-rank top talisman maker not only means the improvement of combat strength, but also means a lot of financial resources. At the same time, if Xu Ziyan joins other families, it also means a huge threat. In Zhongdu City, there is not only the Xu family, but also the Xiao family and Wu family. Moreover, the Xiao family and the Wu family had just married recently, which faintly revealed the momentum of joining forces to suppress the Xu family. Xu Haobo secretly made up his mind in his heart that if he could not recruit Xu Ziyan, then he must kill her and never let her join Xiao's and Wu's families.

At this time, Xu Ziyan looked at Xu Haomiao, Xu Haomiao's heart tightened, and fear appeared in his eyes. Xu Ziyan glanced at Xu Haomiao, looked at Xu Haobo and said lightly:

"Do you think that with my ability, I will be short of money?"

Xu Ziyan is short of money now, very short of money. But she can't show it, she has to be stronger, so as to win greater benefits for herself. Hearing what Xu Ziyan said, Xu Haomiao became even more nervous, for fear that Xu Ziyan would beat him up in public, and he would lose face. Xu Haobo was also very embarrassed. Let his fourth brother be slapped by Xu Ziyan in public, even if it was just a slap in the face, he couldn't accept it. After all, it was his fourth brother, and the relationship between the two has always been good. The two looked at each other, what Xu Haobo thought was whether he should try his best to lose the talent of Xu Ziyan and kill her here. What Xu Haomiao thought about was whether he slapped himself twice and asked Xu Ziyan to forgive him. The two were in a dilemma, but they heard Xu Ziyan's voice sounding again:

"It's not impossible for me to join the Xu family!"
