Chapter VIII Retribution
The wooden box was quickly taken out of the sealed suitcase.
Zhang Xin stepped forward and picked up the wooden box and said, "Xu Yi, did you seal this yourself?"
"Yes." Xu Yi said without hesitation, "There is no mistake in this box with a stamp from his subordinates."
Zhang Xin nodded slowly and said, "Gu Bin, why do you suspect that this thousand-year-old cold iron is wrong?"
Although Gu Bin did not say it bluntly, everyone present was not a fool, so he could see it clearly. Gu Bin did this just to doubt the authenticity of this thousand-year-old cold iron. Otherwise, why wouldn't he ask for a check on Xu Tiansheng's top-quality elixir?
Gu Bin was prepared and said, "Mr. Zhang and Manager Xu took this item, his subordinates glanced at the nearby area. At that time, he felt a little suspicious. Now this item is about to be put into the warehouse, and it will be too late to say it, so his subordinates are so presumptuous."
"Oh, you will find something wrong with a glance. Haha, Xu Yi, it seems that your ability is far inferior to others." Zhang Xin smiled while stroking his beard.
Everyone laughed silently. Zhang Xin said this as a joke to Xu Yi, but anyone could hear the sarcasm.
Gu Bin seemed to be unaware of it and said, "Please give it a taste, sir."
Zhang Xin looked at him coldly, turned his head and said, "Xu Yi, what do you say?"
Xu Yi said solemnly: "Manager Gu, I have carefully identified this thousand-year-old cold iron, and there will be no mistakes. You slander me so much, I wonder what you mean by?"
"Mr. Gu did not target you, but he just couldn't bear to see you use fake goods to fool the elders of the sect. If the elders get angry, wouldn't our Artifact Pavilion be implicated by you for nothing?"
"Hmph, I can't bear it." Xu Yi suddenly turned around and clasped his fists and said, "Master General Manager, please open a box for inspection. If the goods are wrong, Xu is willing to resign from the position of manager and be an ordinary servant in this appraisal room."
Xin You's eyes were deep and he said slowly: "Gu Bin, what did you say?"
Gu Bin chuckled and said, "Sir, my subordinates are just doubtful. Manager Xu is too impulsive."
Xin You pondered for a moment and said, "Open the box and inspect it. If the goods are wrong, Xu Yi will suspend his position as a supervisor and make meritorious service in the appraisal room. But if the goods are correct... Xu Yi and Lao Zhang retreated, the appraisal house manager will be yours."
"Yes, thank you sir." Xu Yi said loudly, then looked at Gu Bin with a sneer, and opened the box without hesitation.
For some reason, Gu Bin, who was originally full of confidence, suddenly felt a little guilty. Perhaps Xu Yi was too calm, which made his confidence shake.
The box opened and immediately revealed the metal block inside.
The moment he saw this metal block, Gu Bin's face suddenly changed. His lips trembled a few times, and he looked at Xu Hui in shock and anger.
He did the fake thousand-year-old cold iron with his own hands, and the size and style of the stones were kept in mind. But at this time, although the metal blocks placed in the wooden box were almost the same size, they looked far apart and were not the same stone at all.
Looking at the confident and sarcastic smile on Xu Hui's face, Gu Bin immediately understood.
Although he was carefully setting up a plan, why didn’t Xu Hui use his tricks to lead him into the trap?
He looked up in a daze. When he saw the gazes of Xin You, Zhang Xin and his colleagues, he suddenly felt that these people's eyes were harsh, as if everyone was mocking him.
Zhang Xin picked up the cold iron in the box, looked carefully for a moment, and said, "Mr. Manager, I guaranteed it with decades of credibility. This is indeed a real thousand-year-old cold iron."
Xin You nodded slowly and said, "Gu Bin, have you seen it clearly?"
Gu Bin's mouth twitched and he murmured: "No, no..."
"Not what?"
"It's not this." Gu Bin said subconsciously, "The stones that day didn't look like this."
Xin You's face darkened and he angrily said, "It's ridiculous." Then, he said aloud: "I have something to say first, Xu Yi."
"exist."
"From next month, you will be the appraisal manager. Lao Zhang, do a good job in handing over and don't make any trouble."
"Yes." Zhang Xin and Xu Hui bowed at the same time, and their faces were filled with joy.
Xin You waved his hand and said, "Closed the box, I will go up the mountain tonight to deliver the goods. You should be careful at home and don't make any mistakes." After a pause, he said, "Gubin, you will suspend your position in charge and reflect at home. I will deal with it when I come back."
Gu Bin's face looked like earth, and he responded submissively.
Xu Yi took the opportunity to step forward and said, "Sir, I have something to report to you."
"speak."
"The dog son Xu Yi has completed the transportation of the Great Zhoutian. According to the convention, he can enter the mountain and practice in the outer gate. So the subordinates want to ask the adults to take him up the mountain and be his guide."
"Oh, this is a happy event, haha, there are some people under my disciples who have achieved success in their practice, which is a joyful congratulation." Xin You said with a laugh: "You should also urge your children and younger generations more and not relax."
Everyone responded and congratulated Xu Hui and his son.
The Artifact Pavilion is one of the sect industries. Most of the officials in the sect are from outer disciples, and they are also considered to be from the Artifact Pavilion. Therefore, when their children and younger generations are successful in their practice, they can automatically enter the mountain gate. This is also a means of sects that can lead to their branches and leaves, choose the best from the best, and benefit each other.
The crowd gradually dissipated, and Xu Hui took half a day off and took his son home.
They had already prepared what they needed to carry up the mountain. But as they saw that they were about to part, Xu Hui was a little reluctant to leave.
"Yi'er, once you enter the mountain, you will be one of the outer disciples. There is no one to take care of you on the mountain, and you have to work hard on everything yourself." Xu Hui said in a nagging manner.
Xu Yi smiled bitterly and listened. He never knew that his father, who had been with him for more than ten years, had such a mother-in-law side. However, listening to his father's nagging, there was a warm flow in his heart, which made him feel quite moved.
"Father, I can take good care of myself. You must be careful not to miss it again, but no one will help you finish it." Xu Yi said with a smile.
Xu Hui glared at the son angrily, but the faint sadness in his heart slowly disappeared.
Yes, although my son’s talent for cultivation is not the best, he has been quite capable in dealing with people over the past ten years. Not only has he never caused any trouble for himself, but he is quite helpful to his career. This time he went into the mountain alone, he must be able to take good care of himself.
"Father, what are you going to deal with Gu Bin?"
Xu Hui sneered and said, "Hmph, he will naturally not have a good life when he is targeting his father like this."
Xu Yi shook his head slightly and said, "Father, you don't need to target him personally."
"Oh, did you let your father bear this anger?"
"No, father, you can be generous and not pursue this matter, and you don't need to confront it in the future. But as long as you keep one thing in mind, no matter how he asks for permission, you must keep him in the appraisal room and beneath your nose."
Xu Hui was stunned and pondered for a moment, his eyes lit up slightly, and his eyes looked at his son were quite complicated.
