On the Zhu Ming Palace side, the person leading the team is the second elder of Zhu Ming Palace, Ming Yaoyao's grandfather, Elder last time I discussed something with Su Chen, the person who came was also the Second Elder. They are familiar with each other. This time, Su Chen went to see Zhu Minggong just to ask Zhu Minggong what he thought. What exactly is their attitude towards me? On the Zhuming Palace side, Su Chen did not have any too strict requirements on them. They didn't dare to stand on his side and turn against Wulan Villa. Su Chen didn't blame them for this. When he first arrived at Zhuming Palace, Palace Master Yao Wen had talked to him about this. Coupled with the combination of Qilou and Liulige, Zhuming Palace faces a lot of pressure. But now, he couldn't get any information from Zhu Ming Palace. This was somewhat unacceptable to Su Chen.
The promise to deliver news to him regularly was made by the Second Elder of Zhu Ming Palace himself. But now it is difficult to fulfill. Of course you should ask, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. After taking a long walk around Xiayu City that day, Su Chen was actually checking to see if there were any people from Wulan Villa. After checking myself, it seemed that no one came from Wulan Villa. But it is difficult to determine the final result by one's own efforts. So the people who went to find Zhu Ming Palace this time also wanted to ask them how many people came to Wulan Villa at this Dan Yao Expo. The people of Zhu Ming Palace lived in a restaurant in the south of Xiayu City. The top alchemy forces are already very wealthy. Not to mention that Zhu Minggong made a lot of money from jade and elixirs in the past two years. Of course, when choosing a restaurant to stay in, you should choose the best ones. There are a lot of restaurants and inns in Xiayu City. Even if there is no room for you, many houses can be rented out for a fee. Here, you don't have to worry about having no place to live. Even if a large sect wants to take over the entire restaurant, other small and medium-sized sects can still find accommodation. People in Xiayu City are also used to receiving guests. Walk all the way towards the south of the city. Before going, Su Chen changed into the disguise he had always used when he was in Zhuming Palace. This will avoid the need to spend a lot of time explaining one’s identity when meeting the Second Elder.
The restaurant where Zhu Minggong stayed was considered to be of very high quality in Xiayu City. And just as Su Chen had expected at the beginning, they really booked the entire restaurant. It was getting dark. But the ground floor of this restaurant is very lively. People from Zhuming Palace are discussing things with people from various sects here. After today's exhibition, many people came to Zhu Minggong to discuss cooperation. Qilou and Liulige put pressure on Zhuming Palace. But the level that Zhu Minggong has shown at the moment is still worthy of getting closer to him. Moreover, Zhu Ming Palace is currently facing pressure from Qi Lou and Liuli Pavilion. However, these sects chose Zhuming Palace without hesitation. It can also bring more goodwill to Zhu Ming Palace. They might have been looked down upon before, but now under such circumstances, they can get respect from Zhu Ming Palace. As soon as I walked into the restaurant, the waiter came forward with a smile. "Sir, who are you looking for? The shop has been reserved by Zhu Minggong. I wonder which distinguished guest of Zhu Minggong you are here to see?" The waiter in this restaurant is very smart. After the restaurant was booked by Zhu Minggong, he directly took on the reception task. With a smile on his face, he waited for Su Chen's answer. "I'm looking for Elder Ming of Zhu Ming Palace. Please pass the message on, little brother." Hearing this, the waiter in front of him looked a little embarrassed. “This Zhu Ming Palace elder usually doesn’t meet guests. Sir, you know that everyone wants to meet those who hold high positions. However, these distinguished guests do not have the energy to meet them one by one." The waiter in the restaurant is very good at conversation. He spoke of his difficulties in a complaining tone. Tell Su Chen that if he goes to find the elders of Zhuming Palace, he will most likely not succeed. Not only is it difficult to succeed, you may even be scolded. The way the waiter spoke didn't make people feel uncomfortable, nor did it give them the feeling that he was making things difficult for them. Seeing this, Su Chen also gave a standard textbook demonstration.
He reached out, pulled out an ounce of gold, and gently put it into the waiter's hand. “Please ask Brother Er to tell Elder Ming that Su is here to visit. I believe Elder Ming will remember who I am. If Elder Ming doesn't want to see you, you don't have to force me, and I won't blame you." Holding a small piece of cold gold in his hand. But the waiter felt that it emanated a heat so hot that he was unable to refuse it. The next moment, the waiter went upstairs directly to report. He knew the room numbers of all the distinguished guests in Zhuming Palace very well. I had to deliver things back and forth every day, and I went there several times. Su Chen didn't have to wait too long, the waiter came downstairs soon. With a smile on his face, he led Su Chen upstairs. The door to the upper room on the third floor was already open. When Su Chen walked to the door and saw the people inside, Elder Ming's eyes lit up. “The waiter said earlier that someone named Su was looking for me, so I wondered if it was Elder Su. After thinking about it, I feel that it should be unlikely. I didn't expect it to be Elder Su. Come in and sit down. Come in and sit down." As he spoke, Elder Ming waved his hand, allowing the waiter to leave. The waiter was also tactful and stepped back, bowing his body. But before leaving, he couldn't help but look up at Su Chen. He didn't expect that Su Chen was also an elder and looked so young. I sighed in my heart again, fortunately I was always careful in what I said and did in front of everyone and did not offend others at will. Inside the house, the second elder had a smile on his face and looked very happy. "It's been a while since we last met. Elder Su still looks good~" When they first met, the two exchanged some polite words. Su Chen also smiled and said a few polite greetings. Two cups of tea had been prepared in the house. When the aroma of tea overflows, it's time to get down to business. “Elder Su has done a lot during this period of time.
In Jin State, he has gained some fame~" Elder Ming's words were somewhat ironic. The implication of the words should be that Wulan Villa sent people to Tiangang City to cause trouble. If this happened, it was Su Chen who suffered a loss and encountered big trouble. The spread may not be that wide. But in the end, it was Wulan Villa that suffered the loss. Even Wulan Villa was plagued by negative news because of this incident, and the entire villa was in a state of anxiety. I defeated Liu Siyun from the Liu family in the competition, which also added a lot of publicity to this matter. "The Second Elder was joking. After all the hard work, we didn't get much benefit. A lot of troubles have been added. If nothing unexpected happens, the people from Wulan Villa should be looking for me everywhere. There are probably quite a few of them in Xiayu City, right?" Su Chen said this with a bit of joking. Hearing this, the second elder did wave his hand. “Wulan Villa has no intention of coming to see the exhibition this day. They have a lot of troubles. Their former partners have been looking for trouble with them recently, so they don’t have that much energy.” Elder Ming did not expect that this was exactly the information Su Chen wanted. The credibility of Wulan Villa has been questioned, and the sects they have cooperated with must be asked to give an explanation. If you break your promise once, there is a high probability that you will break it a second or third time. Moreover, they can take this opportunity to ask for more benefits from Wulan Villa. The split used to be probably 50-50. Taking this opportunity, maybe we can change it to June 4th. Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel. Of course, these sects have to have a good talk with Wulan Villa. The second elder didn't care about the situation Su Chen was currently facing. After mentioning it twice, they started to talk about business. "I wonder why Elder Su came to see me this time? With Elder Su's personality, he wouldn't come to me to reminisce about the past, right?" Su Chen smiled and started talking about business.
“When the Second Elder talked to me some time ago, he made some promises to me. However, these promises have not been fulfilled recently. The Second Elder also knew about the conflicts between me and Wulan Villa. Danger accompanies us at all times. Relevant intelligence information is needed. But Zhu Ming Palace has not provided me with any information for more than three months. This time when I came here, I happened to find out that the second elder was here. I just came to talk to the Second Elder and ask for his help." Su Chen's tone was rather polite. There was also enough room for improvement between the words. The second elder of Zhuming Palace nodded casually after hearing Su Chen's words. "This happened because of our negligence. Sometimes the people below us are easily impatient when doing things. I was always forgetful, procrastinating on things I had planned, and eventually I just forgot about them.” The second elder's words directly put the blame on the people under Zhu Ming Palace. Su Chen couldn't guess the specific situation. It feels like it might be that the people below me are ignoring me. Many times, the executive disciples under the big sects will treat the people they serve differently based on their personalities. Since the top management doesn't take it seriously, they naturally start to procrastinate. Many things will be wasted if you don't do them immediately. “I will explain this matter as soon as I return and ask them to pay attention. The rest will be sent by letter once a month.” Having said this, the expression on Elder Ming's face suddenly changed, revealing some difficulty. "We happened to meet today, and I have something I want to talk to you about." Su Chen saw that Elder Ming agreed to what he said so readily, and felt that he was hiding something. “Second Elder, you said that it is not easy for us to get together. It is even more rare to have an opportunity to talk about things face to face. It is better to talk face to face, and it can also avoid many misunderstandings. " When Elder Ming heard Su Chen's words, he nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, some things are much better said in person than in a letter. Those words in the letter are always prone to ambiguity. " As he said this, Elder Ming added some hot tea into Su Chen's cup. When a superior personally pours tea for you, in most cases it means he or she is going to say something bad. “Elder Su came to the Pill Heaven Exhibition this time, I think he must have heard some news. The rumors about Elder Su and our Zhuming Palace have been growing more and more intense recently. We can actually see it at a glance. These were all done intentionally by Qilou and Liulige, who took the opportunity to spread the news. They wanted to use this to prove that their two sects were the authentic ones making jade elixirs. But why are they the only ones who can learn the skill of making jade elixir? My huge Zhu Ming Palace can also promote this alchemy technique!" Elder Ming's words seemed to be trying to prove something. Perhaps it was because Zhu Ming Palace had also been subject to a lot of questioning during this period of time. In fact, after Qilou and Liulige issued a reprimand order to the outside world. There were many doubts about Zhu Ming Palace throughout the State of Jin. Rumors even began to spread in some places that Su Chen, the honorary elder, was a thief secretly trained by Zhu Ming Palace. The skills of making jade elixirs in Zhu Minggong's hands were stolen by Su Chen from Qilou and Liuli Pavilion. There are quite a lot of such doubts nowadays, but they are only circulated privately. After all, most people are sensible about a powerful force like Zhu Ming Palace that is currently in its heyday. I won't go and bring this bad luck upon myself. Why did Qilou and Liulige target Su Chen? This is why we don’t mention Zhu Minggong’s name directly. What the second elder of Zhu Minggong wants to talk about now is still this matter. "As an elder of Zhuming Palace, I will always remember Elder Su's help. We will not ask where Elder Su learned the jade elixir refining technique. Elder Su didn't need to take the initiative to explain to us. It’s just that given the current situation, I hope Elder Su can cooperate a little. In recent years, it is best for Elder Su to live in seclusion and not show up in public. Elder Su’s previous high-profile actions will only make the related rumors more intense.
Don't refute, don't speak, don't show up. That’s the best way to deal with it.” When Su Chen heard what Elder Ming said, a helpless smile appeared on his face. “Second Elder, your words seem to imply that you believe that the technique of making the jade elixir was stolen. Let me tell you the truth now, the skills I have have nothing to do with Qilou Liulige. Do you believe these truths? " Su Chen started talking, but he didn't expect that Zhu Minggong also agreed with this rumor. In response to Su Chen's explanation, the second elder nodded. “It’s useless for me to believe you, it’s necessary for the majority of people in the entire Jin State to believe you. The matter has been discussed within the palace and a decision has been made. Just handle this matter in a low-key manner, without any explanation or attention, and simply avoid it. Elder Su, please don't do anything else on your own. By then, the more you explain, the worse it gets, and it will be difficult to explain even Zhu Ming Palace. It's actually quite comfortable to live in seclusion and in peace and quiet." When the Second Elder said this, he revealed a bit of the attitude of a superior. You are not discussing with yourself, but arranging yourself. Su Chen was already somewhat disapproving of this tone and attitude. “If I let all this dirty water splash on me, I’m afraid I’ll have to hide for the rest of my life. If you show your head even a little, you will be captured in this huge Jin State. Moreover, the technique of making jade elixir was not originally stolen from those two forces. If it weren’t for these incidents, I wouldn’t even know the names of Qilou and Liuli Pavilion.” When the second elder heard Su Chen's words, he couldn't help but frown. When discussing things with Su Chen in the past, Su Chen generally wouldn't argue too much. But today, Su Chen was a little difficult to talk to. The Second Elder was a little impatient, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Su Chen also changed. (End of this chapter)
