Chapter 394: There is a cost to each other
......
"That's not necessarily, my junior brother, I know best, aside from his personality, just look at the talent, compared to me, more than me, if it weren't for his vicious heart, our teacher saw it, I believe his strength would have been above me. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Moreover, Yue'er's girl is a disciple of Cheng Lin, which is well known to everyone in the imperial capital, and if he is let know, I am afraid that he will use this to publicize it, and it will not be good for Dantang's reputation. ”
"What should I do then?" Hearing Qingchen say this, Qiu Sheng immediately straightened his face and said anxiously.
"What else can I do? Take it one step at a time, I guess he will show up in person once before the competition, and then talk about it. Qingchen rubbed his forehead, it was obvious that the war book incident had begun to make him irritable.
"Tuk~"
Just as Qiu Sheng was about to continue, there was a sharp knock on the door outside. Then, the same boy from before flashed into the house and said, "Hall Master." Elder Liu asked to see him. ”
"Liu Changfeng?" Hearing this, Qiu Sheng raised his eyebrows, and immediately a wave of joy surged on the black monkey face.
After Qingchen heard Xiaotong's report, he shook his head with a wry smile, and said in his heart: This is Liu Changfeng, he really doesn't change.
Hearing that Liu Changfeng asked to see him, Qingchen couldn't help but shake his head in distress, for this newly promoted fourth-level Dan Master in the Dan Hall, and also the only third elder in the Dan Hall, Qing Chen had an indescribable helplessness, this Liu Changfeng, although his personality was a little extreme, and for some things he thought was important, he always went to the end, and no one could twist him. Come to think of it, this request must be the successful certification of the teenager he brought. And since his previous words had been loosened, it was not the same thing not to see him this time, so after thinking for a while, Qingchen ordered Xiao Tong to bring Liu Changfeng in.
After waiting in the room for a while, Liu Changfeng finally walked in with Ou Chuyang in stride, but what made Qingchen slightly stunned was that Yang Chenglin was still followed behind, this is good, several heavyweights in the Dantang, except for the nominal elder who had been wandering outside, actually arrived.
In the spacious room, with the arrival of Ou Chuyang and the three of them, it suddenly became lively, and based on age considerations, the youngest Ou Chuyang was of course the youngest.
Smelling the rich smell of vanilla in the air, Ou Chuyang's mind couldn't help but move.
"What a pure medicinal fragrance. Looking around, the first thing Ou Chuyang did when he entered the house was to carefully observe the various flowers and plants placed in several corners, and at this glance, Ou Chuyang's eyes suddenly burst out with a greedy light.
"Superior herbs. Although he couldn't immediately call out the names of those herbs that exuded a faint fragrance, Ou Chuyang was sure that these herbs were definitely not ordinary.
Ou Chuyang's entry immediately attracted the attention of Qingchen and Qiu Sheng in the room, but as the two of them found that this tall young man had come in, they didn't care about the two of them, but focused on the fragrant herbs, and the two old men glanced at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Cough~" Liu Changfeng, who also noticed Ou Chuyang's strange appearance, saw the Dantang Hall Master and the current number one of the Marlin Chamber of Commerce with a displeased face, and immediately coughed heavily, reminding Ou Chuyang.
Hearing that Liu Changfeng deliberately coughed out, Ou Chuyang realized that his behavior was very inappropriate. Then, Ou Chuyang was extremely reluctant to withdraw his gaze from those high-grade herbs, looked at the two old men in front of him, and said with an embarrassed face: "The kid is rude, I hope the two seniors don't blame." ”
Seeing this, Qingchen nodded subconsciously, obviously, Ou Chuyang's urgent remedy still won him a little favor, but Qiu Sheng on the side was full of disdain. Although Qiu Sheng is also a businessman, because of his character, he is very disgusted with that kind of greedy person, and Ou Chuyang's performance before happened to make him disdain Ou Chuyang and looked at Ou Chuyang carefully, Qingchen said: "You are Ou Chuyang?"
Ou Chuyang bowed his head and answered "yes".
"What's your name?" Qingchen asked, and Qiu Shengqiu was shocked when he heard it. asked, "Your name is Ou Chuyang?"
Feeling Qiu Sheng's sudden facial expression, Ou Chuyang said with a stunned expression: "That's right." The younger generation is Ou Chuyang. ”
"Teng", hearing Ou Chuyang's sincere answer, Qiu Sheng suddenly stood up from the chair, approached the former, and asked, "Do you know Qiu Na?"
Hearing this, Ou Chuyang was puzzled, he had no way of knowing why this old man suddenly mentioned Jona, but it could be analyzed from his words that this old man also knew Jona, and the relationship seemed to be not ordinary.
Confused, Ou Chuyang nodded lightly, which was regarded as a response.
Seeing this, Qiu Sheng suddenly circled around Ou Chuyang, and after a long time, the former laughed abruptly: "Okay." Good. Good. ”
Three consecutive "good" words, Qiu Sheng greatly admired, and then said: "You kid, not bad." Not bad. ”
There was another burst of praise, which made Ou Chuyang extremely confused.
And seeing Qiu Sheng like this, Qingchen was also at a loss, he didn't know why this old friend was so excited. However, Qingchen didn't think much about it, so he said, "I've heard Elder Liu say about you. Let's put it this way, Elder Liu's promotion has a certain relationship with you, but although there is an agreement between the two of you, your proposal is too important for us, and in this regard, as the hall master of the Dan Hall, I must be cautious. ”
Hearing Qingchen speak, Ou Chuyang turned his face to Liu Changfeng, but the latter had a look of displeasure on his face, stared at Qingchen and blurted out: "Hall Master..."
Without waiting for Liu Changfeng to continue, Qingchen waved his hand vigorously to stop Liu Changfeng and continued: "However, Elder Liu is the hall master of my Dantang, and what he says is like water spilled out, there is no reason to take it back, as the head of Dantang, I don't see him become a trustworthy person, so in this way, now that you have been certified by Dantang, if you can join Dantang, that matter still has to be discussed." ”
After listening to Qingchen's words, Ou Chuyang immediately understood that the hall master of this Dantang was nothing more than wanting to make himself a person from Dantang, but Liu Changfeng had already told him about this result, and Ou Chuyang had no resistance to this.
Ou Chuyang said: "This is no problem, it's just that how to enter the Dian Pavilion faster, this is the most important thing, because I am still a student of the Shangwu Academy, and I will not have much time." ”
"Then it's hard to say, generally the people who can enter the Pavilion in the Dan Hall are not willing to make a significant contribution to the Dan Hall, so we still have to look at your performance. Qingchen said indifferently.
"Performance?" Ou Chuyang was stunned, he had considered this aspect, but when Liu Changfeng promised him, it was not the meaning at all.
Ou Chuyang frowned, and set his eyes on Liu Changfeng, the meaning is obvious, it depends on what you say.
Feeling Ou Chuyang's displeased gaze, Liu Changfeng's old face turned red, he patted his chest in the teahouse before and assured the other party, but now there is a mistake, how can this not make him lose face.
Slightly angry, Liu Changfeng said eagerly: "Hall Master, didn't you say it at the beginning? If Ou Chuyang becomes a second-level Dan Master and joins the Dan Hall, he can be allowed to enter the Dian Pavilion to have a look, why now..."
"Alas~" Qingchen sighed and said meaningfully: "It was the beginning, but now it is now, it turns out that I said so, but now the situation is not." ”
Speaking of this, Qingchen looked unnaturally at the piece of shredded paper on the ground, but in the midst of sighing, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in Qingchen's eyes. Immediately, Qingchen said sluggishly: "What did you just say, he has become a second-level Dan Master?"
During the conversation, Qingchen recalled Liu Changfeng's previous remarks, and when he found the realm of Ou Chuyang revealed in that tone, Qingchen couldn't help but be stunned.
"That's right. Seeing Qingchen's slightly surprised look, a smug smile appeared on Liu Changfeng's face. However, Liu Changfeng still planned to really deter Qingchen, so he continued: "Ou Chuyang has refined the first- and second-level pills at the same time, so he is now a real second-level Dan master. ”
"What?" Liu Changfeng's words were like a monstrous wave in the sea, which really shocked Qingchen. In fact, there is no earth-shattering language in these words, but in the ears of this old man who knows a lot about alchemy, the key word "at the same time" has played a big role.
At the same time, refining the first and second level pills, this is not impossible, and you can do it yourself, but at that time, you only did it when you reached the realm of the fifth level Dan Master, but right now, this teenager has already done it, I can't say, this is a miracle.
Hearing this, Qiu Sheng also suddenly remembered the information that Qiu Na had reported to him when he came back from Qipan Town, and after a while, the former pulled Qingchen to the side and whispered, "Aren't you one less disciple now?"
Seeing this, Qingchen comprehended, slapped his forehead, and then raised his thumb to Qiu Sheng, at this time, the two old men laughed in unison.
Qingchen turned around, walked in front of Ou Chuyang, glanced at him, and suddenly said, "This, you really want to enter the Pavilion." ”
"Nonsense. Why don't you want to go here, what am I doing here?" scolded angrily in his heart, Ou Chuyang said: "I really want to." ”
"That's good. If you can promise me one condition, I will agree to let you enter the pavilion to have a look. Qingchen said loudly.
"Huh?" Seeing that things had changed essentially, Ou Chuyang was stunned for a moment, and immediately looked directly at the old man in front of him, under this look, Ou Chuyang suddenly noticed that there was a faint hint of joy in the other party's eyes, but this joy had not been shown before.
Finding this difference, Ou Chuyang did not agree immediately, how could he not perceive the meaning of the other party's words when he was scheming.
"There's something going on here. Ou Chuyang thought secretly in his heart. Immediately, he fell into deep thought.
Seeing that Ou Chuyang didn't agree, Liu Changfeng on the side couldn't help but be anxious, and secretly poked Ou Chuyang with his elbow, and said in his heart: "Why don't you agree?"
Ignoring Liu Changfeng's reminder, Ou Chuyang thought for a while before he said respectfully: "Well, this... This senior. ”
"My name is Qingchen. Seeing that Ou Chuyang didn't know his name yet, Qingchen took the lead in speaking.
"Oh, Senior Qingchen, you must have known about the agreement between me and Elder Liu before, and there were no conditions in our agreement at that time. Now the young seniors have asked me to promise you a condition, not to mention whether the younger generation can do this condition, just this inconsistent rhetoric, the younger generation can't accept it. ”
The dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, and Ou Chuyang rejected Qingchen at the moment. The sharp words immediately made Qingchen difficult to read. Actually, Ou Chuyang's meaning is very clear, the agreement between me and Liu Changfeng has already been decided, and now I have added another condition, I can't say, is it you seniors who are bullying a junior.
"Huh?" Hearing Ou Chuyang's refusal, the four people present couldn't help but be stunned. Especially Qingchen, his heart immediately changed his opinion of the young man in front of him.
"What a great boy. Qingchen secretly praised.
"Then what do you mean?" asked someone, although the words were not clear, but remembering the challenge in the near future, Qingchen lowered his posture a little and asked.
Clearing his voice, Ou Chuyang said indifferently: "Let me guess, the seniors seem to have encountered some trouble." And this matter, it is impossible for the seniors to take action themselves, so it is necessary for the kid to deal with it on his behalf, right. ”
Hearing this, Qingchen was shocked, and Qiu Sheng on the side was also full of incredulity.
"Jona is right, this kid is so unusual. While Qiu Sheng was shocked, he suddenly thought of Qiu Na's evaluation of Ou Chuyang, and couldn't help nodding secretly.
And Liu Changfeng, who was sunburned aside, smiled even more bitterly, remembering the first acquaintance with Ou Chuyang in Qipan Town, the former immediately understood Ou Chuyang's intentions: "This kid, the old mistake has been made." ”
Hearing Ou Chuyang say the key points all of a sudden, Qingchen couldn't help frowning, at this moment, he suddenly couldn't understand Ou Chuyang.
With complicated changes in his eyes, Qingchen nodded undeniably, and then realized that he had been infected by Ou Chuyang's tone, and the emotional fluctuations that should not have occurred had been taken into the eyes of the other party.
"You're smart. It's not a good thing to be too smart, though. "After living for so many years, being led by a kid by the nose, Qingchen is a little unhappy.
Seeing that Qingchen had a slight tendency to get angry, Ou Chuyang immediately apologized and said, "The junior is just telling the truth, and he doesn't mean to offend. ”
Qingchen didn't speak, just waiting for Ou Chuyang to continue, but after listening to Ou Chuyang's words, the anger in his eyes was much less.
Seeing that Qingchen did not blame him deeply, Ou Chuyang also put his mind at ease and said: "The junior is just a studious person, and he also has a lot of interest in Dan Xiu, so he exchanged the price of a Zhu Guo for Liu Lao's promise, I can't say it, this is a transaction." And now the seniors put forward a condition, let's not talk about what this condition is, as long as this condition is true, can the younger generation think that this is another deal? ”
Hearing this, several people nodded, what Ou Chuyang said was true, there were more trading ingredients in it.
Seeing that no one refuted, Ou Chuyang continued: "Since it is a transaction, there must be a price for the transaction, just like me and Liu Lao. And now between me and my predecessors, is there a price for each other?"
Savoring Ou Chuyang's words, Qingchen sank into contemplation, after living for such a long time, how could the former not hear that Ou Chuyang was knocking on his own bamboo pole. But right now, it is a critical moment, and compared to the challenge related to Dantang's prospects, it is okay to give some benefits to the young man in front of him. However, it was so simple to blackmail the young man in front of him, and it was really unreasonable in terms of face.
