Chapter 245 Wild "Listener"

Obviously such a formal meeting cannot be held in the square, so Xia Fan led everyone into the lobby of the headquarters and made a honey matcha shaved ice with Qianchi on the spot.

"Yes, not bad." Qian Yan nodded in appreciation after tasting it calmly, "The ingenious fusion of several flavors does not obscure each other's characteristics. It is qualified even as a tribute."

Is this the boss who has lived for hundreds of years? Xia Fan thought to himself that Qianzhi did have a different demeanor compared to Qianzhi who would add another bowl after finishing the meal.

"My name is Qian Yan," she put down her bowl and spoon, stood up and bowed, "I come from the Fang family in Lingzhou, and I am a living dead. Fang Xiandao should have introduced me before."

He returned the greeting briefly, "Xia Fan, Prime Minister of the Privy Council Jinxia's Mansion."

"Yes. As far as the alchemist itself is concerned, you have not fallen behind on your own foundation." Qian Yan looked him up and down, "In terms of the level of this era, you are worthy of praise."

"What do you mean?" Xia Fan asked curiously.

"She means you are full of breath and have been trained for a long time." Fang Xiandao added in a low voice.

"It's not just that simple. If you want to have such a level of Qi sense at Mr. The husband is an extremely self-disciplined person, and even though he is now in a high position, he does not immediately indulge in power and women.”

Xia Fan couldn't help but blush.

I don’t know if playing with Li’s tail counts as indulging.

Moreover, he discovered that after practicing Qi Sensing to a certain level, it basically becomes an instinct, almost like breathing. Therefore, the form is not important anymore. Whether it is being trained by Li Te or enjoying the knee pillow, the absorption of Qi will not be delayed.

But on the surface he would not show any flaws, "Isn't that the case for every alchemist?"

"How is it possible? Alchemists are also human beings and have the same desires as humans." Qian Yan said without hesitation, "In the era when Yongguo still exists, those who sense Qi are always thinking about improving their strength to cope with possible The crisis that broke out. But now, the wars and evil spirits have gone away, and the alchemists no longer have such a strong sense of urgency to improve themselves. Could it be that you have not noticed that your magic skills are far above those of your peers. ?"

Xia Fan noticed the word "crisis" in her words, "You mean... Yongguo also faced a major crisis?"

"Of course. Or the crisis has never been resolved."

"Can you tell me more about it?"

"Intelligence can't be exchanged for a bowl of cold food. Besides, knowing too much about this matter will only increase worries and will not be good for you." Qian Yan crossed his arms and said, "Let's get back to the topic, Mr. Xia, why are you Are you so obsessed with the living dead of the Fang family? I used to think that it was out of personal inferiority, but now it seems that is not the case. Let me make it clear, not all living dead are as easy to talk to as Qian Zhi. "

The little girl on the side nodded sharply.

"I have already seen the living dead who are different from Qianzhi." Xia Fan said in the most sincere tone, "In fact, I have a plan that requires a lot of ice. This job is suitable for the living dead, so I I mentioned it to Fang Xiandao. Of course, what I want is not a living dead. The more the better, and this is not free work. The Secretariat will pay their salary, as well as corresponding vacation and welfare subsidies. I guarantee good treatment! "

Qian Yan blinked and said nothing.

Xia Fan also fell silent, waiting for the other party's response.

The two stared at each other for a long time before Qian Yan realized something was wrong, "...and then what?"

"What then? This is the reason."

"You just want artificial ice?"

"Isn't it possible? Anyway, there is no harm in using natural magic to the living dead, right?"

"Of course there is no harm, but that's not the point -" Qian Yan felt his thoughts were a little confused for a moment, "The reason why you are obsessed with the living dead is because we can easily produce ice? It's something that saltpeter can obviously do -"

"The amount of ice I want is huge, and I need a lot every day," Xia Fan corrected, "Saltpeter cannot fill this gap, only magic can do it."

"Okay, just think of it as one of the reasons. Don't you have any other plans?"

"Uh...is there anything else you can draw?"

This sentence has taken a thousand words away. The most unique thing about the living dead is that they have powerful combat capabilities and are difficult to truly die. If there is a force that covets the living dead, they will most likely want to treat them as an army without fear. Use the lost troops.

If it was just like this, Qian Yan wouldn't be too worried. What she was really concerned about was the relationship between the other party and the Privy Council House - for someone who is already in charge of a house at such a young age, there might be some big shot behind him. If the Privy Council wants to attract the attention of the living dead, it must be extremely vigilant.

This is why the current head of the family asked her to come to Jinxia to find out.

Fang Xiandao has no experience, Qianzhi is too naive.

Only she can make the judgement.

However, Qianyan never expected that the other party just wanted a lot of ice.

She tried to find any hint of concealment or deliberate stupidity in Xia Fan's expression, but she found nothing.

After hesitating for a moment, Qian Yan decided to go straight ahead - "Isn't it for the magic?"

If it is related to the Privy Council, it must be related to magic. If she suddenly brings up this topic, it may expose the other party's flaws.

"Immortal magic...what is that?" Xia Fan frowned.

"You haven't even heard of immortality?" Qian Yan was also surprised. Doesn't this mean that the other party is not even a senior figure in the Privy Council?

"Should I know about it?" Xia Fan thought for a moment, "The living dead are related to magic?"

"No... nothing." Qian Yan suddenly didn't know how to inquire further. Although the basis for her judgment of people is not alchemy, to a certain extent it is more accurate than alchemy. Because the spell can be interfered with or broken by another spell, but the expression, body details, and flow of breath are difficult to reverse by will. Even if a person is expressionless and calm all the time, she can still catch the slightest bit of incongruity - after all, the unchanging expression is a disguise.

However, after all the questioning, that incongruity never appeared on the other side.

Only turbid water requires insight.

If what was in front of her was a basin of water, no matter how wide her eyes were, what clues could she see?

Qian Yan simply changed the topic, "Where did you learn the knowledge you were taught in school?"

"No one taught me." Although Xia Fan wanted to know the details of the immortal arts, he did not want to miss the living dead. "They have been imprinted in my mind from the beginning."

“Would you say you’re a listener?”

The moment Qian Yan said these words, Xia Fan saw a hint of surprise in his eyes - he obviously knew the meaning of this word.

"Where...did you hear this word?"

"It's no secret that I used to be a listener." Qian Yan frowned slightly, and a contradictory feeling came to his mind, as if he had missed something. "It seems that the reason why you were promoted so quickly is this..."

"The Privy Council doesn't know about this at all, and you'd better not mention this word casually." Xia Fan glanced at Fang Xiandao and Qianzhi who were standing aside at a loss. "I heard that once the Privy Council knows about it, everyone will incur huge consequences." Trouble, you won’t end up much better than a monster.”

Qian Yan was stunned when he heard this.

A flash of lightning flashed through her mind——

She knew where the conflicting feeling came from!

As a listener, he actually knew nothing about magic. This means that Xia Fan is not only a wild listener, but also has always concealed his identity from the Privy Council!

Even if the person in front of him is the Prime Minister, he is not in the same boat as the Privy Council.
