Ouyang Feng could understand the pain of having to give up when hope was right in front of him, and said with a faint smile: "Steward Roderick, in fact, you don't have to refuse, you have been in Ula City for so many years, that is what you deserve." ”

Seeing that Roderick looked like he wanted to say something, Ouyang Feng didn't say more, and changed the subject and said, "Steward, do you really rest assured that Adonis will go out with us?"

Roderick looked at Ouyang Feng for a long time, sighed and said tactfully: "Adonis has grown up, he has his own choices and life, I don't want to be a drag on him." ”

Adonis choked up with red eyes and said, "Old man, you are not a drag, I am." ”

Roderick helped Adonis up and sat him down beside him, smiling and saying, "Adonis, crying is not something a man should do. Ouyang Feng gave Adonis a look again and again and asked him to say something, but this kid has completely forgotten the purpose of this time, and is completely immersed in the strong fatherly love and can't extricate himself, Ouyang Feng secretly shook his head, feeling that this kid Adonis is really unreliable, and it is safer to go out by himself.

Ouyang Feng coughed lightly and said: "Steward Roderick, you and Adonis don't want to leave each other, in fact, I shouldn't have said anything, but I'm very close to Adonis, and he also wants to go out on adventures with us, I can't bear to break up your father and son, this is a dilemma, and just now Adonis has proposed a way to get the best of both worlds, I don't know what Archsteward Roderick thinks? Are you willing to give up the glory and wealth in front of you for Adonis?"

Roderick held Adonis's hand, looked straight at Ouyang Feng, and asked uncertainly for a while, "What do you mean?"

Ouyang Feng laughed and said, "You guessed right. I wanted to invite you to join our team. Go on an adventure with us for a while. Of course. This kind of adventure is not to travel around like other young people, and we will encounter all kinds of dangers, such as war. When he said this, Ouyang Feng stared at Roderick deadly, hoping to see something in his eyes.

Roderick was a little puzzled by Ouyang Feng's words, but because of Ouyang Feng's identity and the powerful family behind him, Roderick, who had a preconceived idea, didn't think much about it, and thought that the war Ouyang Feng said was about summoning local forces to fight for the spar mines in the disorderly mountains. He'd heard Gale mention it.

Roderick smiled lightly and said: "What glory and wealth, I have lived so old and what can I not see? But I still say that, I am old, I don't have many years to live, you young people go on adventures together, I, an old man, will become a drag on you, so I will not participate, as long as you live well, no matter where I am, I will be at ease." ”

Although Ouyang Feng has not seen much. I haven't had much trouble with the people in the officialdom, but even if Ouyang Feng is an idiot. Ouyang Feng, who has been influenced by various TV dramas all the year round, can still hear that Roderick is already a little tempted, or that he didn't intend to refuse at the beginning, and now he has been declining politely, just to win more benefits.

Roderick did this, it does not mean that he is a greedy person, it should be a habit developed over the years, or that he wants to win more for Adonis, which Ouyang Feng can understand, and he is not disgusted, but he feels that if there is an old and serious person like Roderick to join, it will definitely be beneficial to the future development of the team. If there is no old guy to support the scene, just these young people, no matter how strong their strength is, they are easy to be despised by the other party as little children.

Although Ouyang Feng likes to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, not everything can be handled like this, and sometimes there must be a person like Roderick who is good at negotiation to fight with the other party.

To say that before, Ouyang Feng was not very active in recruiting Roderick out of consideration for Elena and Adonis, but now that he has figured out these things, Ouyang Feng decided to go all out to win over this old guy.

With a decision, Ouyang Feng no longer hesitated, nor was he as serious as before, relaxed his whole body muscles, leaned lazily in the chair, and said to Roderick with a smile: "I heard a saying before, there is an old man in the family who is like a treasure, this is the experience left by the predecessors." Steward Roderick, as an elder, don't you really want to help us young people deal with all the problems that we are going to encounter? At least you have to guide Adonis, right? So, I don't think you're a burden with us, but a mentor to us young people, there's no doubt about that. ”

Roderick looked at Ouyang Feng with a smile and did not speak.

Ouyang Feng continued: "We Mingren don't talk darkly, and I'm not used to beating around the bush, so I'll just say it." We really need you to be taught by an experienced and experienced elder, I know what you think, so I will directly offer the conditions, if you can accept it, we welcome you to join. Roderick still didn't speak, just looked at Ouyang Feng with a smile, waiting for him to say the conditions, and at the same time admiring Ouyang Feng's straightforwardness and vision in his heart.

Ouyang Feng thought for a long time before he spoke: "In this way, since you are not your own person now, there are many things that cannot be explained to you too clearly, I only say the benefits that can be given to you, as for the source of these benefits, I hope you don't ask, and I also hope that you believe that I am not a big talker, and I am absolutely capable of meeting the conditions offered." ”

Roderick nodded appreciatively and said, "Yes, I believe in you." ”

Adonis was already confused by the conversation between Ouyang Feng and his old man, and asked blankly, "Boss, is this different from what we discussed before?"

Ouyang Feng and Roderick didn't pay attention to Adonis's doubts, the two looked at each other and smiled, and they really had a feeling of cherishing each other and hating each other.

Ouyang Feng first discussed the matter with his own analysis and the sound transmission of Hongshang, Qingfeng, and Mingyue, and after receiving an affirmative answer from the three of them, Ouyang Feng cleared his throat and said with a smile: " First of all, I can guarantee that it will help you improve your cultivation in a short period of time, at the latest in seven years, so that you can break through to the level of a high-level magician, of course, breaking through to the level of a high-level magician has a lot of risk, I don't know much about magicians, but we cultivators will encounter tests such as inner demons when they break through the golden pill, if magicians are the same, such a test can only rely on yourself, and outsiders can't help at all, so I can only guarantee that I will provide you with enough energy to break through, as for whether you can succeed in the end, I can't guarantee that it depends on you, but we will do our best to help。 Although Roderick was a little shocked and incredulous that Ouyang Feng promised to let him achieve a breakthrough within seven years, but with the matter of the Gathering Spirit Pill Pill in front of him, coupled with Ouyang Feng's confidence, Roderick could only choose to believe it.

Roderick couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, took a deep breath and nodded, "Yes." ”

Ouyang Feng continued: "Also, we provide all the necessary qiē for cultivation, including food, lodging, equipment, and so on."

Next, Ouyang Feng said a lot of things, and Yadonis was dumbfounded when he heard it, even Roderick felt that his head was big, and finally he couldn't help but wave his hand to interrupt Ouyang Feng and say, "Okay, let's talk about what I have to pay." ”

Ouyang Feng smiled, stretched out a finger and said, "There is only one thing you need to give, and that is loyalty." When I say loyalty, I'm not loyal to one person, I'm loyal to the whole team. Those of us can rest assured that we will be able to hand over our backs to our companions, and you should understand what I mean by that, and I hope you will be able to do that. Of course, this is based on your opt-in. ”

Roderick was silent for a long time, and said to Ouyang Feng for a while: "This matter is very important, I need to think about it." ”

Ouyang Feng smiled and said, "Of course this is no problem. ”

Rodria stood up with Adonis and said to Ouyang Feng, "Can I take Adonis back?" ”

Ouyang Feng shrugged, nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course it's no problem, Adonis didn't sell it to us, he can leave at any time." Roderick bowed his head, and Adonis was held by Rodri, looking back at Ouyang Feng step by step, not knowing what to do.

Ouyang Feng didn't know what to do, his heart was also drumming, and it was expected by Ouyang Feng to go back and think about it, but why did he take Adonis back with him, Ouyang Feng couldn't figure it out, and he thought about whether Roderick, the old guy, heard something in his own words, and decided to take Adonis away from him, and then report to Gale and them? Thinking of this series of bad things, Ouyang Feng's heart was worried, but he couldn't do anything, which made Ouyang Feng very helpless.

Rodriques walked to the door with Adonis, Roderick stopped, turned around, smiled slightly and said, "I wonder if I can transfer the benefit I just promised to Adonis?"

Ouyang Feng was stunned when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed, but he still shook his head calmly and said, "No." ”

This time it was Roderick's turn to be stunned, he couldn't have imagined that Ouyang Feng had just expressed his desire for talent, and he couldn't wait, but in a blink of an eye, his attitude changed greatly, and he directly refused his request without even leaving room for maneuver, which made Roderick now a little unsure whether Ouyang Feng wanted to win over himself or was simply teasing himself.
