Chapter 1890
byHaha, the old man was just joking. President Aou doesn’t need to take it seriously！” Suddenly, Zuo De laughed loudly and said.”
I don’t know if he was really joking or originally planned to rest and only changed his words after noticing Eau’s displeased expression.
Although Zord’s identity is noble, Eau’s status is not low either, and of course he couldn’t not consider the other party’s feelings.
“Hehe, if the master feels tired, it doesn’t matter to rest for a few days. Anyway, we’ve waited for such a long time, and we’re not in a hurry for a while.” Eau’s reaction was naturally not slow, and he wouldn’t not give the other party a way out. Moreover, there was a very obvious message between the lines： I’ve been waiting for you for a long time！
“It’s still more important to save people！” Zord waved his hand and said firmly.
“Then thank you, master.” Eau obviously relaxed and the expression on his face softened.
“Zhan Yuan greets his mentor. The mentor is indeed kind-hearted. Despite the hard journey, he focuses on saving people and is a model for our generation. Zhan Yuan admires him very much！” The man with the hooked nose stepped out from the crowd and came not far in front of Zord, and a series of flattery was slapped out like it didn’t cost money.
Zord looked at him and seemed a little bewildered, but soon, he laughed: “So it’s you! Well, you’re already a Void-level Intermediate Alchemist. Your progress is good. Keep working hard.”
Receiving this praise, Zhan Yuan’s face was blooming with joy, as if he had eaten a whole jar of honey. He said： “If it weren’t for the mentor’s guidance back then, Zhan Yuan would never have achieved what he has today. The mentor is above, please accept Zhan Yuan’s bow！”
As he spoke, his expression was solemn as he bowed deeply to the ground, extremely pious.
Zuo De nodded and said, “You’re very good. Back then, I just saw that you were frustrated and gave you a few casual instructions. I didn’t expect you to remember until today. If you’re willing, you can follow me from now on. I’m short of someone to help me around here.”
“Willing！ Willing！ Thank you, teacher. Disciple will definitely follow teacher closely from now on！” Zhan Yuan was overjoyed and kept saying in his mouth.
Although he was a mid-level Void-rank alchemist, it was definitely not a disgraceful thing to help Zuo De. Others would beg for such a job but couldn’t get it. Unexpectedly, just because he stood up and said a few words to Zuo De, he got this wonderful job.
Moreover, when Zuo De said that, it was equivalent to recognizing his identity as a disciple. This was more practical than any benefit.
Among the Void-rank alchemists, he could only be considered medium. But in the future, with the identity of Zuo De’s disciple, his status would be completely different. Below the Void King-rank alchemists, no matter who saw him, they would have to be polite.
In an instant, Zhan Yuan was so happy that he almost jumped up.
Some Void-rank alchemists also cast envious glances at Zhan Yuan.
To be able to follow Zuo De, even if it was just to help, they felt that they could learn a lot of good things. Maybe if the opportunity and understanding were enough, they could become the next Zuo De！
Who wouldn’t envy such a good thing？
After being happy for a while, Zhan Yuan suddenly walked forward mysteriously and whispered something to Zuo De.
His voice was suppressed extremely low, almost imperceptible. In front of Master Zuo De, and no one dared to use their spiritual thoughts to eavesdrop, so no one knew what he was exactly talking about.
But after a while, Zuo De glanced at the position where Yang Kai was located intentionally or unintentionally, and everyone suddenly understood that Zhan Yuan was now showing off his success as a small person and was speaking ill of Yang Kai.
Immediately, everyone cast sympathetic glances at Yang Kai！
Everyone knew that Yang Kai was afraid to be miserable in the future. Offending a Void King-level alchemist, there was definitely no one in the whole world who would refine pills for him. The cultivation of a Void King Realm powerhouse was extremely difficult. Without the assistance of spirit pills, the progress of strength was very small. Perhaps he would only be able to stay at the Second-Order Void King Realm for a lifetime.
What a pity. A generation of heroes, who originally had the opportunity to break through to the Third-Order Void King Realm and stand at the peak of the star field, now had to be terminated in advance.
Many alchemists showed expressions of regret.
Over there, Zuo De’s eyes were half-closed, and he looked at Yang Kai a few times. Then he took back his gaze, as if he didn’t take him to heart at all.
Zhan Yuan was chattering on and on, as if he wanted to talk endlessly. Eau had an unhappy expression on his face, but he didn’t dare to urge, so he could only wait patiently.
Just as he said before, since he had waited for such a long time, why bother to rush for a while.
Moreover, Zhan Yuan can now be regarded as half a disciple of Master Zuo De. He has suddenly risen to a high position, so Ai Ou has to show him some respect.
After a long while, Zhan Yuan stopped talking with a flattering smile on his face.
Zuo De nodded slightly, with a kind expression.
Ai Ou said in a timely manner, “Master, please come in！”
“Hmm.” Zuo De responded. With the support of Zuo Ling, he walked step by step into the main hall. When he came to the side of Ai Ou, he gestured with his hand. Ai Ou understood immediately and immediately walked side by side with Zuo De.
The others followed sparsely behind.
“President Ai Ou, the reason why I came to Shui Tian City this time is, on the one hand, to refine the Taichu Soul-Transferring Pill for Madam Gu, and on the other hand, there is another matter that requires your consent.” Zuo De said as he walked.
“If the master has any needs, just speak up. What our Heng Luo Chamber of Commerce can do will never be declined.” Ai Ou said seriously.
“Hehe, don’t be so full of words. I’m afraid you won’t be willing when the time comes.” Zuo De smiled faintly.
Ai Ou said proudly, “Our Heng Luo Chamber of Commerce has business all over the world. Although we don’t dare to say how rich we are, if we can’t meet the master’s requirements, what qualifications do we have to offer you
“Since President Ai Ou said so, then I won’t beat around the bush.” Zuo De stopped his steps, pondered for a while, and then said, “I came this time to propose marriage for my granddaughter.”
He pointed at Zuo Ling who was supporting him.
“Proposal?” ” Ai Ou’s heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt a bit uneasy. His gaze swept over Xue Yue intentionally or unintentionally, and he laughed dryly, saying, “Miss Zuo Ling is your granddaughter, with a noble status and such celestial beauty. I wonder which brat in my Heng Luo Chamber of Commerce has such good fortune to be favored by Miss Zuo Ling?
“President Ai Ou is pretending to be confused when he clearly knows.” Zuo De smiled slightly and said proudly, “Under the heaven, there are few people who are worthy of Ling’er. But in this Heng Luo Chamber of Commerce, there is one person. Moreover, Ling’er has known him since childhood and is in love with him. Hearing that I was coming to Shui Tian City this time, she pestered me to come along and insisted that I come to propose. If I don’t agree, she will burn my beard… Alas, this girl has really been spoiled by me.”
Zuo De had a distressed look on his face.
“Grandpa!” ” Zuo Ling’s face turned bright red, and she swayed Zuo De’s arm extremely shyly. Her two beautiful eyes quietly looked at Xue Yue’s reaction. She believed that since the words had been said to this extent, even a fool would understand what was meant. She really wanted to know what Xue Yue’s reaction was.
But when she took a look, Zuo Ling’s heart sank because she found that Xue Yue’s face was pale and she looked quite at a loss.
Does Brother Xueyue not like me？ Doubts filled Zuo Ling’s heart.
“The master means… Could it be Xueyue？” Aio couldn’t pretend not to understand and could only continue.
“That’s right.” Zuo De smiled slightly and looked at Xueyue with satisfaction and said, “The third son has outstanding talent, is a dragon among men, and is also handsome and unrestrained. He is also the future successor of the Hengluo Chamber of Commerce, which is enough to match my Ling’er. If President Aio can agree to this marriage, hehe, I will also have someone to take care of me in my old age and will probably live in Shui Tian City permanently in the future.”
This sentence reveals a very important message, that is, if Xueyue and Zuo Ling can become husband and wife, then Zuo De will really be considered a member of the Hengluo Chamber of Commerce in the future, live in Shui Tian City permanently, and refine pills for the Hengluo Chamber of Commerce.
If there is an urgent matter, there is no need to go all the way to invite him over.
This is a huge temptation for any force and any warrior. If Xueyue were really a man, Aio would probably not consider it and directly agree.
Compared with the future happiness of his son, a Void King-level alchemist is undoubtedly more important.
But Xueyue happens to be a woman！
This matter is impossible to do anyway.
Even if Aio agrees now, when it is exposed on the wedding night, I’m afraid Zuo De will be completely offended.
So he is in a dilemma for a while, and for the first time feels a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
“What？ Does President Aio have any concerns？”
He originally thought that since he came to propose in person, Ai Ou would sell him a face no matter what, and what’s more, Ai Ou still had something to ask of him now. But after he said those words, he didn’t get the enthusiastic response he imagined. Instead, Ai Ou looked was in a dilemma.
This made Zuo De very unhappy, and his tone also cooled a lot.
“That’s not the case, that’s not the case. The master has misunderstood.” Ai Ou quickly waved his hand, Youdaoplaceholder0 that if today’s matter was not handled properly, I’m afraid it would really give birth to great trouble.
But he couldn’t think of a suitable excuse for a while, and suddenly froze in place.
Zuo De snorted coldly and said, “I came to propose marriage today, and the Taichu Soul-Transferring Pill is my sincerity. If President Ai Ou can agree to this matter, I can refine ten bottles of Void King-level spirit pills for the Hengluo Chamber of Commerce every year in the future！”
A sound of inhaling cold air sounded, and everyone looked at Zuo De in shock.
Ten bottles, that is one hundred spirit pills.
If they were ordinary spirit pills, it would be fine, but these are a full one hundred Void King-level spirit pills！ Any one of them is a priceless treasure, and even an alchemist like Zuo De can’t refine them casually.
Everyone immediately understood that this girl named Zuo Ling definitely occupied a very important position in Zuo De’s heart, otherwise he would never have offered such generous conditions.
Ai Ou’s heart also beat violently. While his heart was excited, he was also extremely annoyed.
In previous years, whenever asking Zuo De to refine Void King-level elixirs, not only a large amount of material rewards had to be provided, but also depending on his mood and whether he had time. Even so, the number of Void King-level elixirs obtained from Zuo De each year was only about twenty.
In the least year, only five were obtained！
But now this old guy directly said one hundred per year and still seemed to be more than capable. How could Aio not know that he had hidden his strength before.
This made him very angry, feeling that so many offerings sent by the chamber of commerce every year were all fed to the dogs.
