Chapter 187: Cooperation, the Inevitable Destiny
A private room on the third floor of the inn.
The shopkeeper was about to knock on the door when it was opened.
"Miss." The innkeeper hurriedly lowered his head and showed a face behind the door, and said respectfully: "I have already brought the person you want me to bring." β
"Well, you go get busy first."
"Su You, come with me."
The door of the private room was opened, and Ji Hongxiang asked the innkeeper to be busy, while taking Su You's hand and bringing it to the private room, and did not forget to turn around and close the door of the private room again.
And when Su You was pulled into the private room by Ji Hongxiang, he saw that there was no Sun Hua, the second prince of the royal family of the Tianxing Dynasty, in the private room, and at this moment, only Ji Hongxiang and Lin Jiangyue were sitting on the chair in the private room and looking at him.
The delicacies of the mountains and seas on the table are still bubbling with a steaming aroma, and it is obvious that the dishes on this table have just been served, and they will not be enjoyed until someone arrives.
But Su You didn't think that in this case, Ji Wuming and Lin Xianxuan would not look at the daughters of the Ji and Lin families from the side.
So he pulled his hand out of Ji Hongxiang's hand, and after finding a random place to sit down, Su You immediately turned his head to look around at Ji Hongxiang and Lin Jiangyue, and said at the same time: "I don't know what is the matter with the two daughters looking for me here this time?" You can't just come to me for a drink and dinner, right? β
As he spoke, Su You really unceremoniously picked up his chopsticks and began to taste the delicious food of the inn in this evil city.
Ji Hongxiang and Lin Jiangyue seemed to have already discussed something, and they didn't stop Su Youhu eating and drinking.
Even Lin Jiangyue took the initiative to move the still warm fragrant tea to Su You before saying to Su You in a consultative tone: "I don't know if Master Su has ever heard of the Soul Condensing Spirit Stone?" β
"Soul Condensation Spirit Stone?"
As soon as he heard these four words, Su You, who had already made an inference in his heart, pretended not to know anything, raised his head and asked Lin Jiangyue, "I haven't heard of it, I wonder if Miss Lin can give me a detailed introduction to what kind of thing is called this Soul Condensing Spirit Stone?" β
"Okay."
Lin Jiangyue immediately opened her mouth to explain to Su You: "The so-called Soul Condensation Spirit Stone is actually a spirit stone in essence, but unlike our common spirit stones, what is contained in the Soul Condensing Spirit Stone is not the spiritual power of heaven and earth, but the spiritual power that every cultivator who cultivates to the realm after cultivating to the Divine Spirit Realm is eager to increase and strengthen the spiritual power of the Divine Soul Spirit, so it is called a Soul Condensing Spirit Stone." β
"Sure enough." Secretly said in his heart, on the surface, Su You pretended to have a look of sudden realization, and then asked in a skeptical tone, "But what does this have to do with me?" You two have people bring me here at this time, it can't be that something great is going to happen to me, right? β
After finishing speaking, Su You looked around at Lin Jiangyue and Eji Hongxiang left and right with a smiling gaze.
Lin Jiangyue was stared at by Su You's ridiculous gaze, and in the next second, she blushed and turned her head.
Ji Hongxiang only blushed slightly on her cheeks, but she didn't turn her head, but looked directly at Su You, and said word by word: "You're right, there is no pie in the sky in the first place, we came to you this time to talk about a cooperation with you." β
"Oh?" Su You didn't expect Ji Hongxiang to admit it directly, "Then I want to know what kind of cooperation it is." β
Ji Hongxiang immediately spoke: "The reason for the cooperation is that the people of the Ji family and the Lin family have excavated a very large number of soul condensing spirit stones in a mine near the evil city, but because the people of the Heavenly Star Dynasty have been talking about cooperation with the two forces during this time, and we don't want to reach cooperation with the Heavenly Star Dynasty, but we can't explicitly refuse the other party, we can only use a method that can prove that the strength of the other party is not enough to cooperate with the two of us to develop the soul condensing spirit stone." β
"I think you should have guessed that the Heavenly Star Dynasty I was talking about was actually Sun Hua's guy when you heard me say that."
"And our plan is for you to deal with Sun Hua, after all, Sun Hua is your subordinate defeat at the Ten Thousand Sects Immortal Meeting, and the status of the Alchemist Association is one of the best on the mainland, if you stand up to help us, I think the Heavenly Star Dynasty will definitely retreat."
After saying what she wanted to say, Ji Hongxiang sat on the chair and waited quietly for Su You to give her an answer.
Su You fell into deep thought.
He thought that there would inevitably be a conflict between himself and Sun Hua, but he didn't expect that this conflict would come so suddenly.
Thinking of the catastrophe that Song Yiqian had mentioned, even if Su You didn't believe it, he could think of Sun Hua, or the Tianxing Dynasty behind it was the culprit that caused his catastrophe to happen.
"But if I refuse to help them, can I avoid conflict with Sun Hua? Wouldn't it have happened? β
Su You thought to himself.
Then.
"Bang!"
Suddenly.
The door of the private room was suddenly violently pushed open, and the innkeeper could be heard chasing after him.
The sound of the door being pushed open was very loud, directly pulling the contemplative Su You back to reality.
Su You immediately turned his head to look in the direction of the door of the private room, and then the pupils of his eyes shrank, and he immediately sighed in his heart, "Destiny of Heaven... Is this the so-called Mandate of Heaven? I didn't expect that I couldn't hide if I wanted to..."
It turned out that it was no one else who had just violently pushed the door in.
It was Sun Hua, the second prince of the royal family of the Celestial Star Dynasty, who Su You had thought about not wanting to have any more intersections with him.
I saw that the second prince broke into the private room alone, and after seeing Su You's existence, he ran directly in front of Su You, and shouted in a deep voice: "I didn't expect you to be an eyesore damn guy again!" What are you doing here? β
Seeing that Su You didn't want to respond to his meaning.
Sun Hua immediately blushed in annoyance and shouted, "This prince is asking you questions!" Are you deaf and can't hear? β
"Alright, alright."
Pretending to be bored and digging out his ears, Su You said to Sun Hua with a nonchalant face: "Don't forget that I am the honorary president of the Alchemist Association, Master Ma Debangma, who has personally certified the six-grade alchemist, don't say it's you, even if your father comes forward in person, you have to be polite to me, not to mention that you are such an unfavored second prince, if you continue to chirp crooked nonsense in front of me, I can make the Alchemist Association no longer have any cooperation with your Tianxing Dynasty from now on, It can even make the Celestial Star Dynasty pay a higher price than others to buy any pill from now on, do you think the Alchemist Association will support me in doing this? β
The moment the words fell.
The private room, which had been noisy just a moment ago, immediately became as silent as a pool of stagnant water.
Especially Sun Hua, who was still annoyed and angry just now, as if he was going to do something directly to Su You, immediately had a complicated expression after hearing Su You's words, and took a few steps back with a gritted but helpless posture.
Obviously, he didn't have the courage to make a stalemate with the Alchemist Association on behalf of the Celestial Star Dynasty at all.
On the contrary, Su You was able to represent the attitude of the Alchemist Association as a six-grade alchemist.
And so it goes.
Even if Sun Hua has more words to say, he can only forcibly swallow it by himself, which can be described as a real self-inflicted effort.
In this way, the atmosphere between Su You and Sun Hua became awkward.
Sun Hua, who had just broken in with momentum, was constantly retreating at this moment.
It wasn't until he retreated from the private room that he had the courage to shout angrily at Su You from a considerable distance: "Su You, you wait for this prince!" Isn't it just an alchemist, this prince will definitely teach you a good lesson! β
After putting down a cruel word, Sun Hua, who knew in his heart that he couldn't help Su You He in the presence of Lin Jiangyue and Ji Hongxiang, immediately turned around and left, but he didn't forget to scold and scold on his lips.
Seeing that Sun Hua, who was making trouble, the innkeeper finally left, he hurriedly stepped forward and closed the door of the private room again in fear.
Then.
Su You, who had not moved while sitting in his position, suddenly raised his head and said to Ji Hongxiang and Lin Jiangyue: "Actually, this is the cooperation you are talking about, right?" After all, he Sun Hua is just a second prince who is not favored and has absolutely no possibility of sitting on the throne of the prince, even if there is a conflict, you also believe that the Tianxing Dynasty will give priority to ensuring that it maintains a good relationship with you, and if necessary, you can even take the initiative to give up Sun Hua, the unimportant second prince. β
"Hehe..." Su You immediately shook his head and chuckled: "In this way, Sun Hua is just a chess piece, and he is still being played by you." β
"So would you like to work with us?" Ji Hongxiang was a little anxious, and she didn't want to continue to talk riddles with Su You like this, causing the two sides to guess each other all the time.
"Cooperation..."
Su You glanced at the closed door, and then chuckled: "Since it is cooperation, it must be beneficial to both parties, so since you want me to cooperate with you, what benefits can I get from it?" β
"You!" Ji Hongxiang had long thought that Su You would say this, "I knew that you were a guy who couldn't afford to be unprofitable!" β
Lin Jiangyue followed Ji Hong's words and said: "If you are willing to cooperate with us to squeeze out the people of the Heavenly Star Dynasty, you can get 20% of the Soul Condensing Spirit Stone Vein, and the clan elders of the Ji and Lin families will also recognize you even more, let me and Hongjiao..."
"Stop!" Su You, who knew what Lin Jiangyue was going to say next after listening to what Lin Jiangyue said, hurriedly interrupted, "I can cooperate with you, but my request is that in addition to the twenty percent of the Soul Condensing Spirit Stone Vein, if the Heavenly Star Dynasty does something to me at that time, the Ji family and the Lin family must come forward to help me solve the trouble, otherwise, then there is no need for us to continue to talk about this cooperation." β
"Good! We promised! β
Ji Hongxiang immediately opened her mouth to respond to Su You's conditions, and at the same time took out a contract from her bosom and put it in front of Su You, and signed her name on it with spiritual power, "Since you promised to cooperate with us, then sign your name on this contract." β
"This contract..."
However, Su You took a closer look and saw that in addition to the Soul Condensing Spirit Stone vein, the contract also mentioned the matter between him and Ji Hongxiang and Lin Jiangyue.
Su You raised his head with a complicated face and looked at the two girls with slightly red faces, and said puzzledly: "These two conditions for signing a marriage contract with you shouldn't have existed originally, right?" I said, two girls, why do you bother? My Su You shouldn't be the kind of thing that everyone loves, right? β
"No way!"
Ji Hongxiang stretched out her hand violently, a wicked smile appeared on her face, and said, "If you don't sign it, then wait for Sun Hua to find you trouble!" β
Saying that, Ji Hongxiang and Lin Jiangyue made a gesture to leave.
"Wait!"
Su You hurriedly spoke out to stop him, and by the way, he left his name on the contract in front of him with his spiritual power, and at the same time opened his mouth to discuss: "But I have to make it clear to you, even if I have this contract, it doesn't mean that I, Su You, am really the fiancΓ© of the two of you." β
"It's okay, that's not something you should care about."
Ji Hongxiang stretched out her hand and snatched the contract and put it in her arms, then took Lin Jiangyue's hand and left the private room, turned her head and said to Su You with a smile: "Dear fiancΓ©, don't you run away from the evil city overnight, I can find you at any time if I have this contract." β
Lin Jiangyue blushed and said, "Master Su, let's see you again after that." β
The voice fell.
The two women left the private room satisfied.
Su You sat at the table, looking at the table full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, but he didn't have any interest, and thought to himself, "Tsk... I didn't expect this so-called destiny to be so difficult to escape, it seems that from today onwards, you really have to be very careful, but you can't just come to the evil city to be buried here. β
