Long Xiao saw that Zhao Jinbao had also knelt on the ground, and knew that the Zhao family was completely subdued this time.
He made the teacup float back to the tea tray again, and Long Xiao smiled, saying, "Don't be nervous. My surname is also Zhao, and we are of the same lineage. As long as you are obedient, I won't harm you again."
Zhao Jinbao hurriedly said, "Master Zhao, we will do as you command."
Long Xiao nodded and said, "Get up and sit down to talk."
The Zhao father and son sat opposite Long Xiao nervously. Long Xiao told them that he would be staying in Mianyin for a few days and wanted to investigate Zhen Dong Company, hoping they would cooperate.
Zhao Jinbao was very distressed. He knew that Zhen Dong Company was an industry of the Nangong family, and offending the Nangong family would lead to the extermination of his clan. However, the person sitting in front of him was also someone they couldn't afford to offend, and offending him might also lead to the extermination of their clan.
"Master Zhao, Zhen Dong Company is an industry of the Nangong family. Do you have any grievances with the Nangong family?"
Long Xiao shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I won't use your Zhao family to deal with the Nangong family. I just can't stand what Zhen Dong Company does and want to teach them a lesson. I won't do anything too outrageous."
"Master Zhao, what do you need our Zhao family to help you with?" Zhao Jinbao asked.
Long Xiao thought for a moment and said, "I need information about Zhen Dong Company, the more detailed the better. I'll give you one day to prepare, and I'll send someone to get it tomorrow night."
Zhao Jinbao nodded and said, "That's no problem. Our Zhao family's Xinglong Company has business dealings with Zhen Dong Company, so it won't be difficult to get detailed information about Zhen Dong Company."
Long Xiao stood up and said, "I should go. Don't tell anyone I was here, or it will be bad for your Zhao family."
"I know, I know. Master Zhao, do you want me to send someone to escort you back?"
Long Xiao waved his hand, and when he went out, he used the 'Chimei Xiaoyao Step'. The Zhao father and son couldn't see how Long Xiao left at all; he had already disappeared.
What Long Xiao brought to the Zhao father and son was shock and fear. This was the most powerful person they had ever seen in their lives. Zhao Jinbao believed that Long Xiao could destroy the Zhao family with one hand.
Although the Nangong family had heavenly realm experts, that was the patriarch of the Nangong family, who was already eighty or ninety years old and rarely appeared in public.
This Master Zhao who had just left was only about forty years old and could appear at any time. He knew very well who posed a greater threat to the Zhao family.
Long Xiao arrived at Lu Yuman's villa. Xiao Ming was startled to see Long Xiao. Long Xiao smiled and said, "You don't recognize me anymore, Xiao Ming?"
The 'Chiyan Worm' poked its head out to take a look and then retracted. Xiao Ming breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother Long, you scared me to death. I thought people from the hospital were here to cause trouble."
"When have you ever been afraid of trouble?"
Xiao Ming chuckled and said, "When you take someone's money, you have to do their bidding. I took some things from them."
Long Xiao had been wondering why the 'Chiyan Worm', which had been dormant, had woken up. Since the 'Chiyan Worm' had followed Long Xiao, it had been dormant except when there was Yin Sha energy or danger. It rarely woke up.
"Show me your things, there must be Yin Sha energy that the 'Chiyan Worm' needs."
"Let's go to my room, it's not convenient in the living room," Xiao Ming whispered.
Just as Long Xiao was about to go upstairs with Xiao Ming, Zhang Minlan and the Zhang brothers walked into the living room. They were stunned to see Xiao Ming talking to a stranger.
Xiao Ming saw the three Zhang family members and didn't know how to introduce Long Xiao.
Long Xiao smiled and said, "The three of you must be the Zhang family members Xiao Ming mentioned. Hello, my surname is Zhao, and I'm also from Donghai."
Zhang Minlan hurried forward and asked, "Mr. Zhao, did you come with Long Xiao?"
Long Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, we came together."
"Where is Long Xiao? We have something urgent to find him for," Zhang Minlan asked anxiously.
Long Xiao shook his head and said, "I don't know. After entering Mianyin City, we parted ways. He said he was going to save his friends and asked me to find Xiao Ming after I finished my business."
"Did he leave you any contact information?" Zhang Minliang asked.
Long Xiao shook his head and said, "His phone is not reachable. If he needs my help, he'll contact me. If he can't be reached, it means he doesn't need my help."
Zhang Minlan looked disappointed. Long Xiao asked, "What is it that you are looking for Long Xiao for?"
Zhang Minlan told Long Xiao that her grandfather was poisoned and urgently needed treatment. Their Zhang family had consulted many renowned doctors, but they could only control the spread of the poison, not completely detoxify it.
Long Xiao smiled and said, "If they can control it, there's no rush. He'll show up naturally after a few days when things here are resolved."
Xiao Ming quickly said, "Sister Minlan, let's finish dealing with things here as soon as possible, and then I'll go back with you to save your grandfather."
No matter how Zhang Minlan looked at it, she felt that Xiao Ming was trying to trick her, but she had no proof and was in need of his help, so she dared not speak out.
Long Xiao followed Xiao Ming to his room. Xiao Ming closed the door, pulled out a bag from under the bed, and placed it on the coffee table.
Before the bag was opened, the 'Chiyan Worm' flew out, landed on the coffee table, and hopped around happily, very excited.
Long Xiao opened the bag and saw several porcelain items and a few wooden boxes inside.
The Yin Sha energy was emanating from the wooden boxes. Long Xiao looked at the boxes and asked, "Xiao Ming, what's in the boxes?"
Xiao Ming chuckled and said, "Brother Long, open them and see. I don't recognize the things inside the boxes, they're very strange."
The boxes looked like coffins from the outside, but they were only palm-sized. Normal coffins couldn't be so small.
"They look like coffins. Are there bodies inside?" Long Xiao asked curiously.
Xiao Ming nodded and said, "They are coffins, and there are bodies inside. But they are too small; there couldn't have been people this small."
Long Xiao opened a small box, and indeed, there lay a person wearing a burial shroud, only palm-sized.
Seeing the person in the small coffin, Long Xiao suddenly remembered that a special corpse-refining method recorded in the "Long Zang" could produce such corpses, called "Yin Shi."
Long Xiao had thought that things recorded in the "Long Zang" anomalies would not appear in modern times, but he never expected to see such a thing.
"Yin Shi? How could such a thing appear?" Long Xiao exclaimed in surprise.
"Brother Long, do you know what this is?" Xiao Ming asked.
Long Xiao nodded and said, "This is 'Yin Shi,' something from ancient times. The refining method has been lost for a long time."
"Something from ancient times must be a treasure," Xiao Ming said happily.
Long Xiao nodded and said, "It is indeed a treasure, but neither of us knows what it's used for."
As they were discussing the use of the "Yin Shi," the 'Chiyan Worm' saw the "Yin Shi" and pounced on it, biting it with its mouth open.
"Hey, don't bite it, it won't be valuable if it's damaged," Xiao Ming exclaimed in panic and reached out to grab the 'Chiyan Worm.'
With a strange cry, Xiao Ming, holding his hand, quickly retreated. Large areas of burns instantly appeared on his hand.
Xiao Ming, holding his hand, glared unhappily at the 'Chiyan Worm' and said, "How could I forget about this? It burns me to death!"
Long Xiao didn't want the 'Chiyan Worm' to damage the "Yin Shi." Just as he was about to reach out, the 'Chiyan Worm' suddenly flew up.
