Han Zhao followed Zhao Yuantu into the building. Stepping on the white tiles on the ground, he pa.s.sed through the hall and entered the backyard. There were lush flowers and plants like a park inside. Metal benches were placed at regular intervals.
Many men and women seemed to be strolling and chatting leisurely.
The overall architectural style was different from what Han Zhao usually saw.
“This is my first time here. I also feel that this place is very strange,” Zhao Yuantu whispered and brought Han Zhao to a bench to sit down.
Liang Wan and Zhu Yongning stood at the side. They seemed to be looking at the scenery, but they were actually standing guard.
Zhao Yuantu pointed at a high-rise flat-roofed building at the end of the backyard and said, “That’s the place for the meeting. Let’s wait first.”
Han Zhao nodded.
“Junior Sister Su is here!” After a while, Zhao Yuantu stood up and pointed ahead.
Han Zhao looked over and saw a graceful purple-robed woman with a beautiful face walking over. It was Su Yun.
There were two men on her left and right. One of them was in his early thirties and looked delicate and handsome. From time to time, he would smile and chat with Su Yun.
The other young man was even more eye-catching. He had long purple hair and could only be described as beautiful. His long eyebrows were like willows, and his body was like a jade tree. He was dressed in white and had an extraordinary aura. If one had to talk about flaws, it was that his temperament was a little feminine and lacked the masculinity of a man.
“The alchemist on the left is our trading company’s alchemist. His name is Lu
Jin. Previously, when Junior Sister Xu was in charge, he pursued Junior Sister Xu. Now, he has taken a fancy to Junior Sister Su. He’s probably coveting the trading company’s a.s.sets,” Zhao Yuantu said softly.
“Huh?!” Han Zhao raised his eyebrows.
“The person on the right is an inner sect disciple of the Yin Yang Hall. His name is Zhu Zizheng. The Zhu family has a lot of weight in the Merchant Alliance. We were able to gain a foothold in the Merchant Alliance because of the Zhu family’s help. The Zhu family did this mainly to be on good terms with Senior Sister Lu. From the looks of it, Zhu Zizheng is a good person,”
Zhao Yuantu continued.
Han Zhao looked at Zhu Zizheng. Compared to Lu Jin’s fawning over Su Yun, Zhu Zizheng looked calm and composed. He only seemed to be communicating normally and maintained a certain distance from Su Yun.
“Let’s go over.”
Zhao Yuantu went forward.
“Junior Sister Su!”
“Senior Brother Zhao, why are you here?” Su Yun was annoyed by Lu Jin’s chattering. When she suddenly heard Zhao Yuantu’s voice, she hurriedly went up to him.
She had just taken a few steps when she saw the white-robed young man beside Zhao Yuantu.
“Junior… Junior… Junior Brother Han?!!” Su Yun’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“Senior Sister Su, long time no see.” Han Zhao nodded. Su Yun quickly walked forward and was surprised and delighted. “It’s really you!”
“It’s real.” Han Zhao felt her happiness and smiled.
“Miss Yun, is this your junior brother? Why haven’t I heard you mention him?” At this moment, Lu Jin walked forward and looked at Han Zhao’s handsome and outstanding appearance. He immediately felt hostility.
“This is my junior brother, Han Zhao. We came from the same place.” Su Yun frowned slightly, but she still answered his question.
“l see.” Lu Jin looked down at them. He knew that Su Yun and the others had moved here from the East Victory Continent.
“Miss Su, it’s been a long time since the two of you met. 1 won’t disturb you anymore.” Zhu Zizheng cupped his hands.
“Please, Young Master Zhu.” Su Yun curtsied.
Then, the group walked out of the Merchant Alliance’s encampment and came to the bustling street.
“Since he’s Miss Yun’s junior brother, I’ll be the host tonight. Let’s go to the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant for a gathering.”
Seeing that Su Yun was asking about Han Zhao along the way, Lu Jin suddenly spoke like a master.
“There’s no need,” Zhao Yuantu suddenly said.
“Huh?” Lu Jin frowned. Although Zhao Yuantu had a problem with him, it had never been so obvious.
“Alchemist Lu, from today onwards, the contract between the trading company and you is invalid. Please find another job!” Zhao Yuantu said in a deep voice.
“What did you say?!” Lu Jin’s expression changed.
“Eldest Senior Brother?” Su Yun was also shocked.
“l can’t take these words as a joke! I hope you won’t beg me to come back!” Lu Jin sneered.
“Alchemist Lu, Eldest Senior Brother…” Su Yun hurriedly said.
“We don’t lack middle-grade alchemists,” Han Zhao said calmly.
“How arrogant!” Lu Jin glanced at Han Zhao. Seeing that he was in his early twenties, he said disdainfully, “Could it be that you’re a middle-grade alchemist at such a young age?!”
Han Zhao ignored him.
“Alchemist Lu, it’s good for everyone to part on good terms. When you were the exclusive alchemist of our Chamber of Commerce, you stole so many medicinal pills and herbs. You don’t want everyone to know, right?” Zhao Yuantu said in a low voice.
“You’d better not fall into my hands!” Lu Jin was furious. After saying those harsh words, he flicked his sleeves and left.
“Eldest Senior Brother, there’s no need to make things so awkward. Lu Jin has a good relationship with many alchemists in the city. If he…” Su Yun looked anxious. When she saw the indifferent Han Zhao, she suddenly reacted.
Wasn’t there a ready-made alchemist?
Han looked after Lu Jin’s departing figure and waved gently behind him without looking back.
Zhu Yongning stepped forward.
“l don’t like that person just now. Make him disappear.” Han Zhao was expressionless.
“Yes, Master!” Zhu Yongning retreated and disappeared at the end of the street.
“?” Zhao Yuantu was dumbfounded.
Didn’t they just say that they were friends?
Even a Grandmaster Realm martial artist wouldn’t have such an exaggerated speed!
“Let’s talk when we get back.” Han Zhao smiled.
Su Yun looked at Zhu Yongnings back as he left and revealed a thoughtful expression.
At night.
Lu Jin quietly entered the Zhu County.
About an hour later, he left through the back door.
“If you offend me, Lu Jin, I’ll make you suffer!”
Lu Jin arrived at the end of the street and took a deep look at the door of the Treasure Pill House.
He returned to his residence in the inner city.
After a while, four young men in black robes entered the study in the backyard of the Lu Residence.
These people were all newbies nurtured by Lu Jin in the Treasure Pill House. Two of them were apprentices he had taken in, and the other two were helpers he had withheld herbs.
“Go to the Treasure Pill House’s storeroom and mix these medicinal pills into those low-grade medicinal pills. Don’t put too many. One or two pills per bottle is enough.”
Lu Jin took out a few porcelain bottles and placed them on the table.
“This…” One of the apprentices looked hesitant.
This evening, he learned that Lu Jin had been fired. Now that Lu Jin had asked them to do this, his motive was obvious.
“l, Lu, have many good friends in the city! I’ve already spoken to Pill Cauldron Pavilion today. If you’re willing to be my friend, it’ll naturally be very beneficial. If you’re my enemy…”
As he spoke, Lu Jin gently pinched the corner of the table.
Crack! Crack! A corner of the solid wooden table was easily pinched off by him. He activated his true qi and turned it into powder.
“I’m willing to follow Teacher Lu!”
“I’m willing too.”
“Count me in.”
This time, only the apprentice did not say anything.
“I… I agree.” In the end, the apprentice could not withstand the pressure.
After the four of them left with the pills, Lu Jin stood at the window on the second floor with his hands behind his back and looked down.
“How dare you fight me!” Lu Jin sneered. “What’s wrong with fighting you?”
Suddenly, a deep voice sounded behind him.
Lu Jin felt his scalp tingle and all the hair on his body stood on end. He suddenly turned around.
A middle-aged man dressed as a Confucian scholar stood behind him.
“You!”
Lu Jin suddenly lost his voice, but he realized that he could not resist at all.
“Astral Qi?! The power of a Lesser Divine Power! You’re a Three Fiend Realm Martial Saint?!”
Lu Jin was horrified and was devoured by a ball of white light..
