Chapter 1891
byOne hundred Void King-level elixirs per year completely shocked everyone present.
This was a condition that could not be refused anyway. Many alchemists belonging to the Hengluo Chamber of Commerce were already secretly winking at Aio, indicating that he should quickly agree and not hesitate.
They urged Aio like this, on the one hand, for the consideration of the chamber of commerce, and on the other hand, for themselves.
As long as this matter could be accomplished, in the future, Master Zuo De would surely live in Shui Tian City for a long time, and then they would also have the opportunity to communicate and consult with Master Zuo De more.
But Aio did not do as they wished.
“Could it be that President Aio feels… that the old man’s sincerity is not enough? Zuo De’s face darkened. He had already said things to this extent, but still did not get a positive response from Aio, which made him a little surprised and even more annoyed. “Or is it that President Aio feels that the old man’s Youdaoplaceholder0 is not worthy of the Third Young Master?
A fine layer of cold sweat oozed out on Ao’s forehead, and he quickly waved his hand and said, “Naturally not. With a person like Miss Ling’er, it’s a blessing that Xueyue has cultivated in several lifetimes to be favored by her. How could she not be a match？”
Since that’s the case, what is the president still hesitating about? Zhan Yuan looked at Ao and said, “The Third Young Master has an outstanding appearance, and Miss Ling’er has a celestial beauty. The two are a perfect match, a natural couple made in heaven and earth!
Ao gave Zhan Yuan a faint look, wishing he could slap this guy to death with one palm.
Why didn’t he think this guy was so annoying before？ Today, no matter how he looks at it, he is not pleasing to the eye.
“What Master Zhan said is right…” Although Ao felt uncomfortable in his heart, but out of deference to Zuo De’s face, he still had to call Zhan Yuan a master. Before, he directly called his name. “It’s just…”
“Just what？” Zuo De’s voice was extremely cold, already having a bit of a domineering taste, and obviously in a very bad mood.
“It’s just…”
“Master, please forgive me. In fact, it’s Xueyue’s own problem.” Seeing his father in a dilemma, Xueyue took the initiative to step forward and said, “Xueyue already has someone in her heart. She has already made an agreement with the other party to stay together forever and never leave. Please forgive me, Master!
Beside her, Zuo Ling heard this and suddenly felt a little unsteady. She looked at Xueyue with a pale face, and the corners of her eyes turned slightly red, as if there were tears about to flow down.
Xueyue turned around and looked at Zuo Ling, saying, “Sister Ling’er, we have known each other since childhood. Although we haven’t spent much time together, I have always regarded you as my younger sister and have no other thoughts about you. Sister, your affection… Please forgive Xueyue for not being able to accept it！”
Zuo Ling was already extremely wronged, and now she burst into tears with a whoosh. Her crying was like a pear blossom in the rain, making those who heard it shed tears and those who saw it feel sad！
Many people showed expressions of reluctance.
Zuo De’s old face was so gloomy that it seemed as if a layer of frost could be scraped off.
“I don’t care, I don’t care！” Zuo Ling suddenly grabbed Zuo De’s arm and shook it again, shouting while shaking, “I just want to be with Brother Xueyue. Grandpa, you think of a way quickly. Grandpa, aren’t you omnipotent? Think of a way quickly. If I can’t marry Brother Xueyue, Ling’er… Ling’er will not live anymore！”
Everyone suddenly had a black line on their faces.
Seeing Zuo Ling making such a fuss, everyone immediately understood that it should be because she was spoiled by Zuo De on weekdays. Otherwise, in public, how could a girl speak so carelessly？
Zuo De also had a face full of distress and helplessness. Hearing this, he patted the back of Zuo Ling’s hand and comforted her, saying, “Don’t cry anymore. Isn’t Grandpa discussing this matter with President Aio？ If you cry again, Grandpa will go back now and never come to this Water Heaven City again, making you never see the Third Young Master for the rest of your life！”
This trick really worked. As soon as Zuo Ling heard this, she immediately stopped crying, but couldn’t hold back her sobs. Her delicate shoulders kept twitching, and she looked at Xue Yue with a melancholy expression.
Xue Yue was helpless in his heart and averted his gaze. He knew that this was the time when he had to be decisive, otherwise he would be in chaos. How could he be soft-hearted？
Beside him, however, Aeo’s heart sank. With his shrewdness, how could he not hear that what Zuo De said just now was clearly comforting Zuo Ling, but in fact threatening himself.
The meaning of that sentence was very obvious. If he couldn’t make his granddaughter satisfied, he would immediately leave Shui Tian City and never set foot in it for the rest of his life！
That would mean that the Heng Luo Chamber of Commerce would lose the only Void King-level alchemist in their offerings! This was not only a blow to the actual interests of the entire chamber of commerce, but also a blow to its reputation.
If that were really the case, then could the chamber of commerce still hire a Void King-level alchemist or weapon refiner in the future？
The answer was obviously no. Unless they trained one themselves, but how could a Void King-level alchemist and weapon refiner be so easily trained? The birth of these two major professions at the Void King level was even more difficult than a warrior’s promotion to the Void King three-layer realm.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so few alchemists and weapon refiners standing at the peak of this world, and he, Aeo wouldn’t have been so difficult by Zuo De and still had to swallow his pride and accompany him with a smile.
Aeo suddenly felt that this day was the most frustrating day in his life.
President Aiol.” Zuo De slowed down his tone and said, “You can also see that this girl is now bent on going her own way, and the old man really has no way to deal with her. But since the Third Young Master already has someone in his heart, the old man naturally can’t force others to do what they don’t want to do and break up the mandarin ducks. Otherwise, if it spreads, the old man will be pointed at by thousands of people. How about this？ The old man will give you and the Third Young Master a few days to think it over carefully and then give the old man a reply. During these few days, the old man will stay in Shui Tian City with Ling’er. Whenever you have considered it, you can come to find the old man at any time.”
He was sure that Aiol was in a hurry to ask him to refine the Taichu Soul-Transforming Pill, so he said such words.
Sure enough, Aiol showed a difficult look. He wanted to ask Zuo De to refine the Taichu Soul-Transforming Pill first but he just couldn’t bring himself to open his mouth. Moreover, he also knew that even if he had the cheek to ask, Zuo De would definitely find an excuse to refuse.
For example, being in a bad mood, or being interfered by Zuo Ling…
Rather than asking for trouble, it’s better not to say anything.
His gaze fell on Xue Yue, and he was considering whether to agree to Zuo De’s request first, and then deal with the aftermath after rescuing Gu Bihu.
But after all, Xue Yue was a girl. If he really agreed, it would mean completely offending Zuo De！
Aio was at his wits’ end. There had never been anything that made him so embarrassed. He was in charge of the Hengluo Chamber of Commerce and acted resolutely and vigorously, leading the entire chamber to thrive. But in the face of Zuo De’s marriage proposal, he was a bit at a loss.
“I’d long heard of the reputation of Master Zuo De, and I’d admired him for a long time. But seeing him today, tsk tsk…
Just as Aio was cursing in his heart, a voice suddenly sounded.
He couldn’t help but be shocked. He turned his head to look in the direction of the sound source. When he saw clearly who was speaking, he was suddenly stunned in place and frowned.
Because he found that the person speaking was actually Yang Kai！
Yang Kai had a deep friendship with Xue Yue. Standing up to speak at this moment was obviously to stand up for Xue Yue. But these words… seemed a bit too much and would definitely offend Zuo De.
However, he was not a member of the Hengluo Chamber of Commerce and could not represent the chamber. So no matter how much he offended Zuo De, it had nothing to do with the chamber.
Thinking like this, Aio suddenly found that at this moment, it seemed that only Yang Kai was most suitable to say these things. His eyes couldn’t help but light up, and he gave him a grateful look.
After hearing these words, the expressions of the others also changed. Although Yang Kai didn’t finish speaking, anyone could hear the disdain in his words.
Saying such things in front of a Void King-level alchemist was not a blatant slap in the face？ Many Void-level alchemists looked at Yang Kai with a changed look in their eyes.
Zuo De still had some composure. Hearing this, he didn’t immediately get angry. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Yang Kai, and said indifferently, “President Ai Ou, this is…”
“Reporting to the master, Yang Kai is my friend.” Before Ai Ou could answer, Xue Yue took the initiative to answer.
Also a member of the Chamber of Commerce? Zuo De frowned.
“No, he just passed by here and came to see me.” Xue Yue explained.
Zuo De nodded and smiled slightly, saying, “I can’t pretend not to have heard what you just said, sir. It seems that you have some dissatisfaction with me？ Did I offend you before？”
From Zhan Yuan, Zuo De knew that Yang Kai had spoken ill of him behind his back before. In fact, it wasn’t really ill words, but just said that he put on airs a bit. Zuo De secretly remembered it in his heart and secretly decided not to refine Void King-level spirit pills for this person in the future. However, just because of this kind of thing, he couldn’t find trouble with Yang Kai either, so he could only let it go. At this moment, Yang Kai actually stood up and touched his bad luck again. Of course he couldn’t just laugh it off.
So what if he is a Void King Realm Layer 2 martial artist？ When there is a need, isn’t he still asking me for help！ Zuo De thought proudly in his heart.
“The master is joking. Yang Mou and the master are meeting for the first time. Where is there any such thing as offending？” Yang Kai said indifferently.
“Since that’s the case, then why did you…”
“Telling the truth, what’s the problem？” Yang Kai smiled complacently.
Zuo De’s face sank. Just as he was about to say something, Yang Kai continued, “Alchemists are like physicians. Physicians must value both skills and benevolence, and neither can be lacking. Madam Gu’s soul has been damaged for a year, and her life is in danger at any time. Since the master has come here, why not open the furnace and refine the Taichu Soul-Transforming Pill to save people’s urgency？ But instead, you have to use the marriage of your granddaughter as a threat to force President Aio and the Third Young Master. It can be seen that although the master’s skills are superb, he is lacking in benevolence… Tsk tsk, can the master deserve the word’master’？ Don’t you think these two words are a bit heavy on your head？ The master is old, so don’t crush your body.”
As soon as these words came out, not only the complexions of many Void Grade alchemists changed drastically, but also President Aio’s complexion suddenly became complicated.
He never expected that Yang Kai’s words would be so sharp, almost equivalent to tearing his face with Zuo De.
Although Yang Kai’s words hit the bottom of his heart and he agreed with them a million times, but saying such things in front of Zuo De is not to offend people to death？ Although that is the truth and something everyone knows, it can’t be said casually either.
Some things, everyone just knows it in their hearts.
“You…” Zuo De’s face turned green and red for a while, and he suddenly felt a little embarrassed. No one had ever dared to say such things in front of him. Even Void King Realm martial artists had to be respectful in front of him. When had he ever heard such sharp accusations.
After being said like this by Yang Kai, he actually seemed to feel that his shoulders were a bit heavy.
