Chapter 276: A bet with the Fang siblings
The young ladies praised Mu Ying and the three of them, and even some old people on the high platform who were dizzy and didn't know the truth were also praised.
"Hey, Brother Zhuo, look at the three teenagers in the first row, whose children are they, why haven't you seen them before? Looks like a good learner! ”
The long-bearded old man known as Brother Zhuo happened to be also observing Mu Ying and the others, and he was stroking his beard while nodding with a smile.
"That's right, these children do seem to be good seedlings, judging by their age, it should be the first time to participate in this level of competition, to be able not to be disturbed by external turmoil, and not to be overly nervous or excited, it is really a rare temperament."
"And these three teenagers are well-dressed, have a pure temperament, and should have a good family background."
"I don't know if their father, brother and elders have come to Tiandan City, if they do, Lu really wants to talk to them."
"Yo, listen to what Lao Lu means, do you want to accept apprentices?" A slightly chubby old man next to him interjected.
"Hehe, you don't know where those three teenagers came from, but I do!"
"How about it, do you want the three of us to cooperate, one person to accept one as an apprentice, and wait for the next alchemy competition to compare who teaches the apprentice?"
"Oh, I'll say it first, I'll say it first! I want the older brother of the twins who took the lead in reading, and none of you are allowed to rob me! ”
Hearing that the fat old man knew the origin of the three teenagers, Zhuo Lao and Lu Lao were all dazzled.
However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that among the three brothers, Baili Qing's personality is the most calm, and he is the type that the elders like the most, and the fat old man picked it up at once, and the other two naturally disagreed.
"The surname is Jiao, you are a real chicken thief! Knowing that twin brother works the hardest and has the most potential, we big guys have taken a fancy to it, why don't you let others rob it? ”
"That's right, look at your sloppy face that has drunk too much wine and has a rosacea, is that a person who can be a good master? I'm afraid that the good seedlings will be ruined by you! ”
"That's right, that's right, our old apprentices have to choose with good qualifications, but other people's children also have to choose a master who fits their eyes in reverse, right? Let's not talk about who to book, and let the children choose their own masters when the time comes! ”
"No, why are you unreasonable...... the fat old man was so angry that his face seemed to be bigger again, "You don't even know the origin of the people, I kindly want to tell you the way, why do you want to cross the river and tear down the bridge?" ”
Zhuo Lao and Lu Lao didn't eat him, "Okay, okay, don't buckle people's hats, who crossed the river and demolished the bridge?" ”
"After talking about it for a long time, you didn't say the origin of the three teenagers, and your appetite is not so hanging! I think you're not sincere at all, deliberately tricking us! ”
"That's right, that's right, we don't need you as an intermediary, when Dabi is over, we'll talk to them ourselves."
"Humph!" The fat old man was even more unhappy now, "Whatever you want, anyway, I know the elders of those teenagers very well, without my recommendation, people won't bird you!" ”
"Alas, I was thinking that our relationship was not bad, and I wanted to pull you to pick a good seedling together, and compare to see who teaches better, so that the older you get, the less passionate you are, and I'm afraid that in a few years, you will go directly into the coffin."
"Now it seems that I'd better find someone else to work with......"
As soon as the fat old man said this, Zhuo Lao and Lu Lao were a little panicked.
"Brother Jiao, you are slow, are you really familiar with the elders of those three teenagers?"
"We didn't speak in a good tone just now, don't take it to heart, let's discuss the matter of cooperation again?"
"Renegotiate......" This time the fat old man deliberately put up a score, "They all said that good horses don't eat back grass, both of you rejected me just now, I'm afraid I won't believe you anymore, right?" ”
Zhuo Lao and Lu Lao were so anxious when they heard this, they looked at each other and said in unison: "Brother Jiao, don't be like us, it was our brothers just now, but for the sake of our friendship for many years, you don't care about the villain, forgive us?" ”
"That's right, that's right, the brother with the best qualifications will let you take it, we have nothing to say!"
"I estimate that there are not a few people who have a crush on the three brothers, if Brother Jiao can let us accept a good apprentice, we will invite you to drink after the matter is completed!"
Hearing the word 'drinking', the fat old man's eyes lit up, but he quickly covered it up again.
"Haha, drinking is for sure, but you also know that if you want to take other people's children as apprentices, you have to give some meeting gifts!"
"Why don't you put the gold coins here with me first, I know the children's preferences, how about buying them together?"
Zhuo Lao and Lu Lao thought that the gift was more expensive than the price, so they nodded and agreed, "Okay, then we will give 500,000 taels each, Brother Jiao, you must ...... well."
But before the two of them could escape the money, another old man next to him did not hesitate to expose the fat old man's deception.
"Alas, are you stupid? The surname Jiao obviously has no money to drink again, and he cheated you out of money there, and you really believed it. ”
"Those three brothers are covered by the master of the Zhang Pavilion, and it has spread all over Tiandan City in the past few days, why are you two so backward?" Xuanshu Literature Network
"And the master of the Zhang Pavilion is a fourth-grade pill pharmacist, I heard that he is about to be promoted to the fifth-grade, which of you can compare? If you want to accept apprentices, you will also accept apprentices from the master of the Zhang Pavilion, right? ”
"What? Those three teenagers belong to the master of the Zhang Pavilion? Zhuo Lao and Lu Lao were heartbroken when they heard this, and they slammed their little fists at the fat old man.
"Dead drunkard, dare to lie to us and beat you to death!"
"Ouch, don't fight...... Jiao Lao begged for mercy again and again, "I actually didn't want to cheat you out of money, I really wanted to take in apprentices, but I felt that I was not qualified enough, so I wanted to find two helpers." ”
However, in the face of Zhuo Lao and Lu Lao's forced gaze, Jiao Lao shrank his neck and said weakly: "Okay, I want to find a helper and drink some money by the way." ”
"Hmph, don't you end it if you say that?" Zhuo Lao and Lu Lao snorted disdainfully.
However, the two of them were so itchy that they wanted to take in a good apprentice, and they found that the old men around them seemed to know more than them, and even many people were already looking for the master of the Zhang Pavilion again, so they couldn't help but panic.
The two of them didn't care about being deceived by Jiao Lao just now, and were eager to find him, a companion, to strengthen the team and said: "Hey, Lao Jiao, give you a chance to atone for your sins, how about we still work together to dig up good seedlings?" ”
"Although the strength of the three of us is average, we can catch a seedling no matter how we join forces, and when the time comes, we will cultivate together, and we will definitely cultivate our apprentices into peerless geniuses!"
"After the deed is done, we will invite you to drink, but you can't have the careful thinking of those calculating people, how about we agree with the outside world?"
"Really?" Jiao Laoyuan thought that he would definitely have no friends after being exposed, but Lao Zhuo and Lao Lu were willing to take him, and they could still have wine to drink when the matter was done, so they immediately responded with joy.
"Yes, yes! The three stinkers are still on top of Zhuge Liang, as soon as we get out, we will definitely cure the disease hahahaha......"
In this way, the three of them happily went together and went to the master of Zhang Ge.
Because the others basically acted alone, the three of them had obvious advantages, and they squeezed one out of the other, and soon occupied a favorable terrain around Zhang Danshi.
Zhang Danshi was good-natured and chatted with everyone who came up to talk, and did not miss any opportunity to make friends with the alchemy family of the Fenglan Empire.
After all, when the Zhan family's second room is divided, as the master of the Lingtian Pavilion Tiandan City Branch, he can't drop the chain, and he has to handle the relationship properly.
As for the things that these old men revealed in their words that they wanted to accept the three Bai brothers as apprentices, Zhang Danshi kindly did not discourage them on the spot.
I think he had this idea at the beginning, but he found that when he counted it carefully, he was afraid that he would have to go back and ask a few teenagers for guidance.
is mixed up like this, and the old face is a little unbearable......
Zhang Danshi felt that almost everyone here was older than him, and for the sake of everyone's health, it was better to hide it first.
Moreover, Zhang Danshi also has a plan, the more popular the three Bai brothers are now, the easier it will be to get everyone's support when they expose Zhan Dechang's crimes later, and now is by no means a good time to tell the truth.
In this way, Zhang Danshi talked with everyone with ease, but the substantive content was not revealed at all.
It can be said that whether it is on the high platform or the peripheral audience, the popularity of Mu Ying and the three of them is unprecedentedly prosperous.
However, things have never been absolute, because the elders of the Fang family have always remembered that Mu Ying and the three of them bullied their family's baby dragon and phoenix fetus, and they sneered at the attitude of Mu Ying and the others.
"Hmph, it's just a few boys who haven't grown up, and they don't know their alchemy level yet, so they compete for it, it's really sick."
"I don't think their talent is very good, otherwise why would they still be cramming on the spot? After reading the book for a while, can you improve the level of alchemy? It's ridiculous! ”
Elder Fang's words were quite in line with the minds of Zhan Dechang, City Lord Ming and Shangguan Lin, and several people glanced at each other and exchanged glances, which connected with Elder Fang without a trace, and felt that they could absorb Elder Fang into their camp.
At the same time, Fang Qing and Fang Yu, who were seated not far from Mu Ying and the others, clearly saw what kind of book the three were reading, and their nostrils were even more arrogant.
"Snort, my heart is really big, I still read this kind of messy book before, and I don't even have a Dan Pharmacist badge on my body, I think you don't know alchemy at all, and you plan to break the jar, right?"
After the elder sister said this, the younger brother still parroted and repeated.
Mu Ying didn't want to deal with them, but she always liked to do things, and she felt that being idle was idle, so it was better to relieve her boredom with them, so she raised her head and raised her eyebrows and smiled.
"Okay, don't be sour, aren't you just unhappy to see that we are liked by everyone, and you are left out in the cold, don't talk about those useless people, there is no one who can't do alchemy when you come here."
"But since you're not convinced, then let's not play a trick that only children play, such as a verbal war, how about a game based on ability?"
"Just after a while, the big competition will begin, and we will compare the final ranking, our three brothers and your sister and brother, because we have the advantage in numbers, so we don't compare with you which side has a higher score."
"Let's compare the lowest ranked one of each gang, for example, our ranking is one, two, three, your ranking is ninety-nine and one hundred, and our third ranking is higher than your hundredth ranking, even if we win."
"And if you lose, you have to stand on the high platform and say 'I obey' three times in front of the big guys, and vice versa, do you dare to compare?"
