The next day, when Wei Feng and Wei Ping were discussing the route to purchase medicinal materials, Wei Yu was not idle either. He knew that he had to make complete preparations. Before that, he had already inquired clearly about the entire maple city. The city lord of Maple City with the highest attribute is a nine-star master of the psychic realm, and has been indulging in this stage for many years. Now it is said that he has reached the half-step feudal realm. If he helps, the purchase of medicinal materials on this trip will be foolproof.
Wei Yu originally wanted to disguise himself before going to the city lord's mansion, but when he thought about the city lord's unpredictable cultivation, he was afraid that no matter how much he disguised himself, it would have no effect and would instead make the other party feel that he was not sincere, so he gave up this idea. , after all, how can a person pretending to be a stranger get the city lord to take action and protect the Wei family in transporting medicinal materials? This obviously doesn't make sense, and with the strength of the city lord, he must be able to detect Wei Yu's identity.
However, Wei Yu did not show off too much. Instead, he chose to go to the City Lord's Mansion at nightfall. Before going there, Wei Yu had reached a consensus with his father that he would use 40% of the Danfang's income to build relationships and let the City Lord protect the Wei clan and transport medicinal materials. . Originally Wei Feng was worried about an accident and insisted on going to see the city lord himself. However, Wei Yu also expressed his worries. Now very few people know that the Danfang matter was Wei Yu's handiwork. Almost the entire Maple City thought it was Wei Feng who planned it. There must be countless people monitoring Wei Feng secretly, so for the sake of safety, Wei Yu had to be allowed to go.
Not long after, Wei Yu also dressed in black robes and walked carefully from the secret passage of the Wei family to the City Lord's Mansion. He saw that the guards in front of the City Lord's Mansion were all masters of eight or even nine stars in the Body Refining Realm. This could not make Wei Yu sigh. , What a big deal, especially for a nine-star master of the Body Refining Realm. Although his status in the Wei family is not very high, as a gatekeeper, he is a bit humble.
When the guard saw the dark figure in front of the door, he asked sharply: "Who is here and what is the matter?"
I saw Wei Yu taking off the black robe on his head, revealing a resolute face, and replied loudly: "Please let me know, and tell Wei Yu that the Wei family wants to see you."
Hearing that it was Wei Feng's son asking for an audience, the guard at the door had naturally heard of his name, so he didn't put too much trouble into it. The leading guard also hurriedly reported to the city lord.
Not long after, he also hurried back and said: "The Lord of the City has said that Mr. Wei is invited to gather in the living room."
After saying that, he took the lead in guiding Wei Yu forward. After a while, the guard also brought Wei Yu to the door of the living room, and then said: "Mr. Wei, the Lord of the City is inside. You can just go in. I will leave first." "
Wei Yu also raised his hands very politely and said: "Thank you." Just like that, Wei Yu came to the living room. At this time, the city lord was facing Wei Yu with his hands behind his back. After a while, he slowly said: "Master Wei is here for this trip." Why?"
Naturally, Wei Yu also felt the tyrannical pressure from the city lord. Obviously, he wanted to give himself a blow, but thinking that he had something to ask for, he suppressed his discomfort and said: "I want to discuss a deal with the city lord."
Hearing this, the city lord also turned around at this time, turned the ring on the other finger with one hand and said: "What deal?"
"My Wei family is currently short of medicinal materials for refining elixirs. We want to buy them elsewhere. However, we are not strong enough and we are afraid that something will happen. Therefore, we want to seek the protection of the Lord of the City."
Hearing Wei Yu's words, the city lord also smiled and said casually: "My city lord's palace has always been neutral, why should I protect you to buy medicinal materials?"
At this moment, Wei Yu was still holding back the pressure and said tremblingly: "If the city lord can protect the family's transportation of medicinal materials, our Wei family can hand over 40% of the profits from the alchemy workshop to the city lord, and only ask the city lord to do it when necessary. Just take action”
After hearing Wei Yu's words, the city lord frowned slightly. The city lord's mansion remained neutral was a rule that had been established for a long time. This was also the fundamental reason for establishing a foothold in Maple City. However, after thinking for a long time, the city lord's brows gradually relaxed, and at the same time he also canceled his plan to target Wei Yu. With Yu's pressure, he said: "I can agree to your conditions, but I need to add one more thing. In the future, you must promise to take my daughter to one of the four universities in the imperial capital."
"What, one of the four universities in the imperial capital?" Wei Yu was slightly startled when he heard this condition. He had never thought about going to any of the four universities in the imperial capital. After all, he had heard that these four universities were from Lei. The highest school in the Yun Empire was extremely strict in selecting students, but in order to overcome the current difficulties, Wei Yu had to bite the bullet and agree.
Seeing that Wei Yu agreed to his conditions, the city lord became much kinder in an instant and said: "It's getting late, so you should go back first. As for the transportation of medicinal materials, you can just send someone to notify me later, and I will do it myself." Will help secretly”
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Wei Yu stopped staying and said respectfully: "Thank you, Lord City Lord" before exiting the City Lord's Mansion and returning to the Wei family.
After Wei Yu left, the city lord also glanced sideways out of the window and said helplessly: "Have you not seen enough? Come out."
Not long after, a little girl with blue silk hair and turquoise clothes came out slowly and said softly: "Dad, I don't want to go to the fourth university in the imperial capital. What are you doing? And why are you doing this?" Just make sure that Wei Yu can take me into the school."
The city lord also rolled his eyes and said dotingly: "My dear daughter, what do you know? As a father, I tell you that this boy from the Wei family is not simple. He was only at the six-star body refining stage during the coming of age ceremony of the Wei family. Just now I watched him Aura, he actually reached the nine-star body refining realm in just a few months, and you are only at the eight-star body refining realm now. I am afraid you really have to rely on him if you want to successfully enter the Imperial Capital Academy."
Hearing her father praising an outsider like this, the little girl said angrily, "I know, I know," and ran out.
Only the city lord himself knows how correct the decision he made is. As the saying goes, rules are dead and people are alive. Only by being flexible can we achieve the greatest benefits. As the lord of a city, he has eyes all over Maple City, so he naturally knows The current changes in the Wei family are inseparable from Wei Yu. In fact, the reason why he helps Wei Yu is also to invest. After all, there is no harm in being friendly with such a genius. What he values is not the current Wei Yu, but the future. Wei Yu, maybe he will really need help from the Wei family in the future, but of course, that's something to talk about later.
On the other hand, after Wei Yu returned to the Wei clan, he immediately found his father Wei Feng and told him that the transportation of the medicinal materials had been completed, but he did not tell him about his promise to take the city lord's daughter to the Imperial Capital Academy.
In this way, the transportation of medicinal materials was quietly carried out on the second day, and Maple City also began to have an undercurrent.
