Chapter 983: The House That Changed Hands (1)
As for what they had done, everyone naturally had a tacit understanding!
When the two guards limped out of the corner, covered in injuries, everyone present acted as if nothing had happened. They did what they were supposed to do!
The two guards returned to the city gate and stood there with fear on their faces. Their eyes were still staring at everyone present with abnormal vigilance, afraid that they would beat them up again if they were unhappy!
At the same time, Leng Xiaoyu went straight to the Artificer a.s.sociation.
After arriving at the Artificer a.s.sociation, he took out his ident.i.ty as an artificer and asked to see the president. However, the in-charge of receiving him actually refused when he saw that he only held a red token that represented his ident.i.ty as an ordinary artificer!
In the a.s.sociation Hall.
Leng Xiaoyu glared at the waiter standing opposite him and said coldly, “Say that again?”
“No means no. Our president isn’t someone any Tom, d.i.c.k, or Harry can meet.” The in-charge said with his nose in the air. Hmph! He had seen many ordinary artificers like this every day. If everyone saw the president, the president would die of exhaustion!
“Are you calling me a Tom, d.i.c.k, and Harry?” Leng Xiaoyu narrowed his eyes, a dangerous aura appeared in them. However, the proud and arrogant in-charge did not notice it.
“It’s good that you know your place,” the in-charge said condescendingly.
“Haha! It seems that I haven’t been to Flame City for too long. I didn’t know that Fu Ran actually raised you sn.o.bs.” Leng Xiaoyu laughed angrily.
The Fu Ran he was talking about was the president of the Artificer a.s.sociation Headquarters of the Divine Continent. The two of them could be considered friends. However, what Leng Xiaoyu did not expect was why Fu Ran was different from what he knew after not seeing her for many years. At least as far as he could remember, Fu Ran would never allow the staff of the guild to look down on any artifact master.
“Who is Fu Ran? I don’t know him!” The in-charge chuckled.
“You don’t even know your own president?” Leng Xiaoyu asked calmly. However, he was a little surprised. Could it be that something had happened in the Artificer a.s.sociation that he didn’t know about?
“Our president’s name is not Fu Ran,” the in-charge said with his chin high and a smug expression.
“Then who is the current president of the Flame City’s Artificer a.s.sociation?” Leng Xiaoyu probed.
“Our president is His Excellency Yao Yuan,” the in-charge said very proudly.
“Yao Yuan!” Leng Xiaoyu’s pupils constricted and he subconsciously clenched his fists. He didn’t expect the president of the Artificer a.s.sociation in Flame City to be that despicable person!
“How dare you call the president by his name! I think you don’t want to live anymore!” The waiter roared angrily after hearing Leng Xiaoyu’s words. Hmph! As a member of the Artificer a.s.sociation, he must firmly protect the president’s authority!
“Take me to see Yao Yuan!” Leng Xiaoyu directly grabbed the in-charge’s collar and ordered.
“You… How dare you treat me like this! Someone! Someone attacked the Artificer a.s.sociation!” The waiter was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted at the top of his lungs.
After he shouted, a group of people immediately surged out from all directions and surrounded Leng Xiaoyu.
“Who is so bold as to attack the Artificer a.s.sociation? You really don’t want to live anymore!” The guard roared angrily. There were more people entering Flame City than usual now, and their workload had increased drastically. However, there were actually still people who dared to cause trouble in the Artificer a.s.sociation. Wasn’t this like plucking fur from a tiger’s b.u.t.t?
“Captain Zhao doesn’t even recognize me?” Leng Xiaoyu looked at the person who spoke with a faint smile, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes.
“Ah! You… You’re Excellency Leng Xiaoyu!” Captain Zhao’s eyes widened in disbelief. Didn’t he hear that Leng Xiaoyu had returned to the Boundless Heaven Continent? Why did he appear on the Divine Continent again?!
“Finally, someone remembers me,” Leng Xiaoyu said mockingly. He thought that all of Artificer a.s.sociation was already Yao Yuan’s people! He didn’t expect to see someone he knew. It was really not easy!
“Your Excellency Leng Xiaoyu, didn’t you return to the Boundless Heaven Continent? Why are you here?” Captain Zhao was very curious, so he accidentally asked what was on his mind.
“Can’t I come back after returning to the Boundless Heaven Continent? Or does someone not want me to come back?” Leng Xiaoyu said with a faint smile.
“Hehe! Your Excellency Leng Xiaoyu really likes to joke.” Captain Zhao laughed dryly and awkwardly.
“Does Captain Zhao just got to know me today? Am I someone who likes to joke?” Leng Xiaoyu asked calmly.
“Uh!” Captain Zhao felt a headache coming on as he faced Leng Xiaoyu. Sigh! He couldn’t afford to offend this master! What kind of eyesight did this in-charge have? He actually didn’t even know the famous Leng Xiaoyu. d.a.m.n it! Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but glare fiercely at the in-charge. At this moment, the in-charge was already scared silly by Leng Xiaoyu.
“I want to see Yao Yuan,” Leng Xiaoyu said to Captain Zhao without even looking at the small in-charge.
“Erm… Your Excellency Leng Xiaoyu, President Yao is in a meeting! His Excellency Mo Yan is also here,” Captain Zhao said honestly. At the same time, he couldn’t help but grumble in his heart. You can not give Yao Yuan face, but you do have to give your master face! Therefore, he didn’t think that Leng Xiaoyu would barge into the meeting room.
“Is that so? Then I’ll go up and find him myself,” Leng Xiaoyu said disapprovingly. After saying that, he walked past the guards who did not dare to stop him and went straight upstairs!
Even though he had not been here for many years, he was once very familiar with this place. Therefore, he did not need anyone to lead the way. He found the location of the meeting room with his eyes closed.
The conference room was on the third floor of the Artificer a.s.sociation. After Leng Xiaoyu reached the third floor, he knocked symbolically and pushed the door open…
“d.a.m.n it! Who allowed you to barge into the meeting room?” Suddenly, a roar sounded in Leng Xiaoyu’s ear.
“It’s been many years since we last met, President Yao! Your voice is full of energy. It seems like you’ve taken care of yourself a lot,” Leng Xiaoyu teased calmly.
“You… Leng Xiaoyu!” Yao Yuan, who was sitting on the chair, stood up in shock and looked at him in disbelief!
