Although Xu Yuan was almost getting along with Zhou Chen on the surface these days, and the other party basically answered all questions about his practice, Xu Yuan knew that Zhou Chen still looked down on him deep down.
It can be seen in many details.
He sounds like a young master, but as a bodyguard, he never knocks on the door when entering his wing.
When the two of them talked, they never concealed the smell of alcohol in their mouths.
There was even one time, because he was curious about the structure of a top treasure like the Sumeru Ring, Zhou Chen shamelessly asked to borrow it from Xu Yuan for study.
Zhou Chen said that research must be just research and he did not dare to keep it for himself.
After all, Xu Changge knew that Xu Yuan had this Sumeru Ring.
If Zhou Chen dares to swallow it, he will die.
But the problem is that this is the Sumeru Ring, and all kinds of private treasures are stored in it.
The act of asking for money is equivalent to asking you for the keys to your house knowing that your wife is bathing alone at home.
Xu Yuan didn't give it, and even hit the other party appropriately, but Zhou Chen actually mentioned it half-jokingly later.
There are countless kinds of these.
Today, Zhou Chen suddenly took action to help him deal with Xue Yong. Xu Yuan originally thought that the other party had changed.
Because of the expense of treating guests for more than half a month, and because of his hard training this month, the other party's view of him changed.
But the result was that Zhou Chen was still the same as before.
He came over with a smile and a drunken mouth, chatting about women together, and then asked him to order some prostitutes for him.
Xu Yuan couldn't hold himself any longer.
He once again deeply understood the original situation and why he became so sensitive and irritable.
Xu Yuan originally wanted to endure it. Just like in his previous life, he would first achieve results, slowly establish his own prestige, and then slowly control these subordinates.
But after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly realized that his identity and cultivation physique made it unnecessary for him to be too polite to Zhou Chen, a powerful master.
Therefore, Xu Yuan started to take advantage of the word penance.
The contempt in Zhou Chen's words seemed to mean that you, a dandy, would definitely not be able to hold on, so stop acting like this.
Xu Yuan then satirized Zhou Chen for his fifty steps and hundred steps.
The original body gave up cultivation due to blocked meridians and almost sluggish cultivation of a waste soul.
You, Zhou Chen, encountered a bottleneck and started to indulge.
What's the difference between the two?
What qualifications do you have to make such nonsense here?
With my current physique, I am willing to start practicing again. Are there any problems?
Xu Yuan's purpose is very clear.
The first is to give Zhou Chen a thorough beating.
The second is to find a reason for yourself to focus on practice.
The third is to change others' inherent impressions of oneself, and establish one's own prestige bit by bit in the eyes of these retainers and guests.
When doing things, the subordinates are obedient and the subordinates are dedicated and try their best. There are two completely different concepts.
In the previous life, if his project employees were disobeying him, the project might be delayed or even messed up at best, but now these guest retainers would be killed if they were not disobeying him.
Having said that,
Zhou Chen's reaction did surprise Xu Yuan.
He thought that the great master would walk away because of losing face, but he didn't expect that he would just bow his head and admit his mistake.
But after thinking about it, I felt relieved.
What made Zhou Chen bow his head was not what he said, but his identity and the infinite possibilities possessed by the innate Taoist body.
Xu Yuan took a deep look at Zhou Chen who was bowing and clasping his fists.
If the situation is not right, it is good to be able to give in immediately and lower your posture.
But...heh.
Xu Yuan said nothing and stared at the great master quietly.
"..."
Zhou Chen kept his posture of bowing and clasping his fists, with a broken look on his lowered face.
The other person's words suddenly made him realize something.
The third young master in the past had no future.
As the Third Young Master who cultivates a waste body and has no future, he can just deal with it casually.
But now the Third Young Master has become an innate Taoist body due to a strange encounter.
But he has been treating the third young master with the same attitude as before.
If the third young master really changes his gender, with his innate Taoist qualifications and the resources of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the third young master in front of him is likely to become the second eldest son.
And the growth rate may be even faster.
It took more than half a month to break through the ninth level...
After a few years of cultivation, with the grudge-holding temperament of this third young master...
"..." Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen really wanted to slap himself hard.
Getting used to this kind of thing can really kill people...
The silence on the top floor continued,
Xu Yuan stared at Zhou Chen quietly.
Zhou Chen also kept bending down and holding his fists.
Seeing the other party's unwillingness to speak, Xu Yuan's eyes gradually became impatient.
He's a smart guy, but not particularly smart.
Now that you are aware of the current situation, I have tolerated you for more than half a month, and you want to expose it without saying anything and being offensive?
Zhou Chen's cultivation was naturally able to detect the change in Xu Yuan's eyes. His expression changed for a moment, and he gritted his teeth:
"Third Young Master... You have entered the ninth rank for the first time, and Zhou has not expressed anything yet. This is a small gift specially prepared for you."
As he spoke, he reached into his arms and took out a small jade bottle.
"..."
Xu Yuan was a little disappointed when he saw this.
He doesn't want things.
What he wanted was Zhou Chen.
At the very least, there must be a few promises to help, right?
Thoughts flashed, Xu Yuan also knew that he was too greedy.
The ninth grade convinced the Grand Master, and his eldest brother was not that awesome.
After gathering his thoughts, Xu Yuan looked at Zhou Chen again.
Zhou Chen had a face full of pain, closed his eyes, moved his hand forward, and handed the jade bottle to Xu Yuan:
"This thing is called Xiaoyuan Powder."
Disappear?
Xu Yuan glanced at the jade bottle.
Some blue-gray crystal powder was finely crushed and spread at the bottom of the jade bottle.
In this world, not all medicines exist in the form of elixirs. Liquid, solid, powder and even gaseous medicines are all included.
After a brief recollection in my mind, I remembered the function of this thing.
It's a good thing.
The top-grade body-tempering medicine can be used by pouring it into the tub during bathing. It is suitable for any level. Even he who has just entered the ninth-level can use it. It warms the body and lays the foundation for entering the sixth-level iron body.
If this Xiaoyuan Powder, a medicine that helps the great master practice, is placed outside, its market price will be more than ten thousand taels.
For Zhou Chen, it should be considered a major hemorrhage.
Xu Yuan's lips curled up slightly, he raised his hand to take the bottle of spirit powder from the opponent's hand, and played with it in the palm of his hand.
Zhou Chen also raised his eyes at this time, staring at the jade bottle in Xu Yuan's hand, full of reluctance and physical pain.
Xu Yuan suddenly turned to look at him.
Eyes met.
"..." Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen forced a smile and said with a smile:
"Third Young Master, with your ninth-level cultivation, you only need to pour a little of this into your bath...ah?"
Before he finished speaking, the jade bottle was thrown back by Xu Yuan.
Zhou Chen quickly caught the precious jade bottle, his eyes a little surprised.
I subconsciously thought that these three young men were ignorant.
Xu Yuan just glanced at him, turned around and left, leaving behind:
"It's not easy to break through the bottleneck of using force to enter the country. Mr. Zhou should keep this Xiaoyuan San for himself."
"..." Zhou Chen.
silence,
Zhou Chen's eyes flashed for a moment, then he suddenly grinned, cupped his fists and raised his hands:
"Zhou, thank you Third Young Master."
"..."
Xu Yuan didn't reply and walked downstairs steadily.
After a pause,
Zhou Chen quickly followed him. Sometimes it is always helpful to be thick-skinned.
Following Xu Yuan, Zhou Chen returned to his previous appearance, but there was no smell of alcohol in his words, and he asked with a smile:
"Third Young Master, do you want to practice? I have nothing to do recently, but I can help you practice."
"Assist in training?" Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows. This was the first time he had heard of this term.
Zhou Chen explained with a smile: "This is the characteristic of my technique. I can use my mind and soul to refine the surrounding source energy and then bring it to you. You only need to keep refining it."
"Is there such a thing?" Xu Yuan glanced at Zhou Chen.
"certainly."
Zhou Chen said shamelessly: "Does Third Young Master need it?"
"Well... no need for now."
"Ah? Then Third Young Master, what are you..."
"When I go downstairs, I must be looking for the madam."
"..." Zhou Chen.
Xu Yuan stood still and looked at Zhou Chen with a funny look, as a matter of course:
"Tomorrow, there will be an oiran in Zuixian Tower who will leave the court."
