Chapter 31 Inquire about the news and make a plan

The Metallurgical City Refining Conference is held in the city every other year.

Since it is only a refining conference within the Metallurgical City Refiner Association, it is limited to Metallurgical City in terms of scale and liveliness.

But if you can stand out and be valued at the refining conference, you will also have a bright future.

Every year, a refiner will be sent to the headquarters of Tianhua City by showing his refining talent at the refining conference, to learn and cultivate higher refining skills, and become a higher-level refiner.

Su You and Jiang Nu'er sat down early in an inn near the Refiner Association.

Money talks.

When the guy who originally refused to say a word in every possible way, after seeing the high-grade spirit stone in his hand, he immediately patted his chest and said that he was a know-it-all in Metallurgical City, no matter how big or small, there was nothing he didn't know.

"Oh?"

Looking at the confident and flying look on the guy's face, Su You immediately asked: "Since you say that you are a jack of all trades, there is nothing in Metallurgical City that you don't know, then do you know Li Yongji?" ”

Li Yongji's three words came from Su You's mouth to the ears of the guy, and he was so frightened that the guy sat on the chair and almost didn't fall.

"Guest, guest, are you sure that the question is not Li San and Li Si, but Li Yongji? And is it still the most notorious Li Yongji in our metallurgical city? The guy who didn't let himself fall off the table confirmed to Su You again and again.

After seeing Su You nodding his head again and again.

The guy who finally came back to his senses suddenly became serious, and the whole person became cautious.

I saw him get up and approach Su You, and while looking around to make sure that no one noticed this, he said to Su You and Jiang Nu'er in an extremely low voice: "Guest, do you know something, if you ask me about other people's things, maybe I will think about it a little bit, but if it is Li Yongji's matter, no one who has lived in Metallurgical City for more than half a month will not know." ”

Su You, who didn't expect the guy to make such remarks, was even more curious, so he asked the guy to continue.

"You must not know what hurtful things that Li Yongji beast has done!"

It seemed that the name Li Yongji had aroused some bad memories, and the guy suddenly had bloodshot eyes, and his face was gloomy and he said in a tone that seemed to be about to kill: "Li Yongji has a father who is the vice president of the Metallurgical City Refiner Association, his name is Li Sanjin, this person is not only a fourth-grade refiner, but also controls nearly half of the mines and land near Metallurgical City, and even the land under our inn belongs to Li Sanjin. ”

"It is precisely because of such a good father, coupled with the fact that Li Sanjin has a son, he is resigned to Li Yongji, and he is spoiled to the extreme, no matter what Li Yongji wants to do, he will help his son to complete it."

"So that Li Yongji has been domineering since he was a child, relying on his good father, in the fish and meat township, as long as he wants to do something, he will definitely do it, and he is not afraid of heaven and earth by having a good father."

As he spoke, the man quietly stretched out his hand and pointed to the innkeeper who was at the counter.

The innkeeper was a middle-aged man, but he looked no less haggard than an old man, and there was not even a trace of life in his cloudy eyes, and the whole person looked like a walking corpse.

At this time, the guy got closer and said in a deep voice: "You don't know that Li Yongji's greed for beauty has reached a perverted level, as long as he takes a fancy to it at a glance, even if it is a married woman, he will never let it go." ”

"You should have seen what our shopkeeper looks like, right? The proprietress was taken by Li Yongji, who came to the inn for dinner half a year ago, and then abducted by forceful means. ”

"Although the proprietress still came back, she was already covered with bruises, and traces of being tortured and beaten by Li Yongji can be seen everywhere."

"In addition, I have been insulted by Li Yongji for half a year, so the proprietress hanged herself in the room a few days after she came back..."

"This Li Yongji is so vicious?" Hearing what the guy said, the anger on Jiang Nu'er's face was difficult to hide, she held back her anger and gritted her teeth and said, "This kind of person is simply not worthy of living in the world!" ”

"That's what you think about this girl, don't you?"

The guy laughed at himself helplessly: "Li Yongji has done similar things no less than a hundred times, so that everyone in the metallurgical city knows about it, but what's the use of this?" Li Yongji has a father who is the vice president of the Refiner Association, and Li Sanjin himself has a little relationship with the headquarters of Tianhua City, and there have been people who want to resist, but they are all cleaned up by Li Yongji without exception. ”

"It's buried in a mass grave outside the city."

"So now everyone avoids Li Yongji, and those who have wives and girls in the family are deliberately pretending to be ugly, just to avoid being targeted by Li Yongji."

"As for revenge?" The guy shook his head and said, "Unless you also have someone who is the vice president of the Refiner Association as a backer, the consequence of provoking Li Yongji will be the destruction of the family." ”

After saying this, the man got up and went to clean up the other tables and entertain the other guests.

Su You's eyes followed the back of the guy, and he was surprised to find that as the guy said, most of the guests gathered in the inn had a deep resentment and murderous intent hidden in their eyes, but more of them were helpless and lost.

Only a few outside guests sat at the table talking and laughing.

"Little one..."

After listening to what the guy said, and thinking of the evil face of Li Yongji that he had seen in the small courtyard before, Jiang Nu'er, who had already left his anger, whispered to Su You: "What are your plans next?" Do you want me to kill that Li Yongji directly? ”

"Nope."

Su You immediately rejected Jiang Nu'er's proposal, explaining: "Not to mention that if you leave traces or are discovered when you kill Li Yongji, Li Sanjin, who dotes on his son in every way, will definitely do his best to hunt us down, not to mention that it is too cheap to just kill Li Yongji and his family." ”

"And what are your plans?" Jiang Nu'er asked.

Hearing this, Su You smiled slightly and said, "Although Li Yongji does have a good father, and there are indeed few people in Metallurgical City who can cure him, don't forget that today is the day when I go to the Alchemist Association to get the costumes and tokens representing the four grades of alchemists." ”

"Coupled with Master Gu, the steward of the Metallurgical City Alchemist Association, I think our backer should be taller and harder than Li Yongji's, isn't it?"

"That's right!" Jiang Nu'er clapped her hands and said happily: "And the headquarters of the Alchemist Association must already know that there is such a genius as you, the Alchemist Association will not allow an alchemist who has been promoted to the fourth rank at a young age and has a fifth-grade fire to be harmed, and will definitely put pressure on the Alchemist Association after knowing the contradiction between you and Li Yongji." ”

Su You then said: "Once the Refiner Association puts pressure on Li Sanjin, what kind of storm can Li Yongji, who can't get help from his backers, set off? However, we can take this opportunity to expose all the things that Li Yongji has done, not only to give the people of Metallurgical City a bright sky, but also to remove a scourge for the Refiner Association, and I believe that the Refiner Association will not refuse such an excellent opportunity to clean up the interior. ”

"Then what are we waiting for, let's go to the Alchemist Association quickly."

The voice fell.

Su You and Jiang Nu'er left the inn together and rushed to the Alchemist Association.

As soon as I walked into the lobby of the association, I saw Master Gu, who seemed to have been waiting for them all along, walking over with a piece of clothing on his face full of excitement.

After beckoning Su You and Jiang Nu'er to his room, Master Gu handed Su You the new and delicate black robe in his hand with four flame marks embroidered on his chest, and at the same time hung a golden token carved with an alchemy furnace on Su You's waist.

Then he smiled happily: "This is the alchemist costume and token sent to you by the headquarters, from today onwards, you will be certified by the association, the youngest four-grade alchemist in history, congratulations." ”

"Thank you, Master Gu." After changing his clothes, Su You immediately said to Master Gu, "But the junior wants to ask Master Gu for a favor." ”

"Oh?"

Master Gu was surprised when he heard Su You's words, and then asked, "Did you encounter any difficulties in the process of alchemy?" You can say it, and as long as I know it, I will help you solve it. ”

Su You shook his head: "It has nothing to do with alchemy, but with one person." ”

"Who?"

"Metallurgical City Li family, Li Yongji."

Except for the three people in the room, no one else knew what Su You and Master Gu had talked to.

I only knew that after Su You and Jiang Nu'er left the Alchemist Association satisfied, an urgent secret letter was sent from the Alchemist Association to the headquarters of Tianhua City.
