Chen Xixi, who was sitting at the counter, couldn't help but widen his eyes.

She wasn't curious at all about someone wanting to take the alchemy apprenticeship, but Fu Yun's question was clearly a layman who had never studied alchemy!

She hurriedly persuaded: "Sir, the difficulty of the alchemist exam is very high, not only to remember the names, attributes, and characteristics of tens of thousands of alchemy materials, to know the main materials and auxiliary materials of the mainstream elixir, but also to understand the history of the profession of alchemist and the development of the Alchemist Guild, as well as hundreds of well-known alchemy techniques, if you haven't learned it before......

Chen Xixi didn't know what to say for a while.

Seeing her blushing face and very anxious look, Fu Yun knew that she was saying this for her own good, so she didn't care and said, "Don't worry, I understand what you mean, then if I directly refine a spirit pill, will it be considered qualified?"

"Naturally, it's calculated...... Chen Xi reacted violently, "But you haven't learned anything, how can you be alchemy?!"

Fu Yun couldn't help but have a headache, this girl was very kind, but there were just too many words.

Just as he was about to make up a random reason to fool the past, a voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Yo! Sister Xixi, it's such a coincidence that we're meeting again!"

Fu Yun turned his head to look, and saw a young man in a brocade robe walking forward with a smile.

A pair of eyes rolled around Chen Xixi's body, and his smile was full of obscenity.

Chen Xixi frowned slightly, immediately adjusted, and said lightly: "Zhou Gongzi is good!"

Zhou Gongzi?

Fu Yun said secretly: Such a coincidence, this person can't be the Zhou Chao in the "Four Youths of Mountain City", right?

But vaguely felt that it might not be, because it didn't have the familiar feeling when I met Zhang Yi.

Zhou Gongzi walked up, squinted at Fu Yun, who was wrapped tightly, and said curiously: "This brother is wrapped so tightly, isn't it hot?"

Fu Yun was speechless, this person's mouth is really cheap enough, and he is obviously a good hand at pulling hatred.

Chen Xixi immediately said unhappily: "Gongzi Zhou, this is my guest, don't joke." ”

Zhou Gongzi sneered: "Guest? Maybe it is now, but it won't be soon." ”

As he spoke, he turned his face to Fu Yun: "Brother, let's discuss with you, you go to the counter next to you to do something, and Young Master Ben will reward you with two spirit stones, how about it?"

Fu Yun didn't look at him, but glanced at Chen Xixi.

Chen Xixi gritted his teeth: "Sir, please move to the counter next door, I'm sorry for the trouble." ”

Fu Yun saw her struggling, obviously because Gongzi had some background this week, and she actually didn't want to get herself into trouble with such words.

In fact, she and Chen Xixi only met in Pingshui, and they had known each other for less than five minutes, and Fu Yun didn't want to reveal his identity when he came here, so he didn't want to bother with this matter.

It's just that Chen Xixi's kindness made him hesitate a little in his heart.

"Brother, have you thought about it?"

Fu Yun seemed to be a little impatient when he saw this Zhou Gongzi. Suddenly asked, "Do you know Zhou Chao?"

"Huh?" Zhou Gongzi's face suddenly tensed, and he took two steps back, "Have you seen my second brother?"

Fu Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the previous rumors are true, Zhou Chao did run away from home.

And the one in front of him is not Zhou Chao.

"I don't know, I thought you were. Fu Yun replied.

"How can I be a coward like him? Boy, you have heard me clearly, I am the third young master of the Zhou family, Zhou Ting! The youngest first-grade alchemist of the Zhou family!"

Fu Yun finally knew why he dared to be so arrogant in the Alchemist Guild.

The third son of the head of the Zhou family, and he is also an alchemist, so he is a rich second generation who is a little talented.

"Oh. Fu Yun replied lightly.

Zhou Ting waited for a while, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed when he saw that Fu Yun didn't follow after "oh".

When ordinary people hear his name, they immediately come up and nod their heads busily, what do you mean by just saying "oh"?

"Stinky boy, look at you like this, you're from a foreign country, right? Our Zhou family is the most famous alchemy family in the city, you make me angry, don't want to mix in this Xishan City!"

At this time, Fu Yun was a little distressed.

These words should be their own lines, but the other party rushed to say them!

What's even more odious is that because he wants to hide his identity, it is not easy to refute him.

couldn't help but sneak a glance at Chen Xixi.

Women are really the source of trouble, especially beautiful women!

At this time, Chen Xi got up suddenly, walked to Fu Yun and bowed, and said apologetically: "Sir, I'm really sorry, you should go to another counter, I, my side is temporarily closed." ”

After speaking, he turned to look at Zhou Ting: "Zhou Gongzi, what do you want me to do?"

Zhou Ting said with a lewd smile on his face: "You know my intentions, I just want to hire you as my alchemy assistant." ”

Chen Xixi said in a cold tone: "Master Zhou, what I meant before was also very clear, this is impossible. ”

"Really?" Zhou Ting looked at her with a hippie smile, "Chen Xixi will tell you honestly, as long as I am in the guild for a day, no one will dare to give you business, let alone an alchemist who will hire you as an assistant." If I remember correctly, your mother is seriously ill and still lying in bed waiting for you to make money to save her life, right?

"You ......" Chen Xixi was so angry that he couldn't speak.

"However, as soon as you nod your head, I will immediately ask the best doctor in the city to help your mother treat her, and the money for the treatment will be mine, and I will advance you for three months' wages, how about it?"

Chen Xixi was silent for a moment.

Zhou Ting's conditions were so generous that it was difficult for her to refuse.

Although he knew that he was not well-intentioned, he had no choice at all.

In order to help her mother heal her illness, she has been studying alchemy knowledge tirelessly for nearly half a year, and finally passed the alchemy apprenticeship assessment half a month ago.

I thought that after I passed the assessment, I would be able to become an assistant under the alchemist, and I would have a good and stable source of income.

But what she never expected was that after becoming an apprentice, no alchemist was willing to hire her, and when she asked, she found out that it was Zhou Ting, who had been pestering her, to get in the way, and secretly put pressure on other alchemists, which made them discouraged.

After all, the Zhou family, as the largest alchemy family in the city, has a lot of power in the guild, and it is easy to deal with a helpless foreigner.

Her delicate body trembled slightly, crystal tears swirling in her eyes, and her fists clenched, as if trying to convince herself.

Even if I sacrifice myself to save my mother, it is worth it.

After hesitating for a long time, Chen Xixi took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, slowly lowered his head, and said as if resigned: "Okay...... I, I answer......"

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded beside him.

"Wait!"
