A private room on the third floor of the inn.
Just as the shopkeeper was about to knock on the door, the door was opened.
"Miss." The innkeeper hurriedly lowered his head and said respectfully to Ji Hongzhuang, who showed her face behind the door: "I have already brought the people you asked me to bring."
"Well, you go and do your work first."
"Su You, come with me."
The door of the private room was opened. Ji Hongzhuang asked the innkeeper to do her work, while holding Su You's hand and taking him into the private room, not forgetting to turn around and close the door of the private room again.
And when Su You was pulled into the private room by Ji Hongzhuang, he saw that there was no Sun Hua, the second prince of the Tianxing Dynasty, in the private room. At this moment, the only people sitting on the chairs in the private room and looking at him were Ji Hongzhuang and Lin Jiang. Two people per month.
The delicacies on the table were still smelling hot. It was obvious that the dishes on this table had just been served not long ago, and they were just waiting for someone to arrive before they could start enjoying them.
But Su You didn't think that under such circumstances, Ji Wuming and Lin Youxu wouldn't be watching the rich young ladies from the Ji and Lin families.
So he took his hand out of Ji Hongzhuang's and found a seat to sit down. Su You immediately turned around and looked around Ji Hongzhuang and Lin Jiangyue, and said at the same time: "I don't know what the two rich ladies are looking for this time." What's the reason why I'm here? You can't just come to me for a drink and a meal, right?"
As he spoke, Su You picked up the chopsticks without any courtesy and began to taste the delicacies served at the inn in the evil-fighting city.
Ji Hongzhuang and Lin Jiangyue seemed to have already discussed something, and they did not stop Su You from eating and drinking.
Lin Jiangyue even took the initiative to move the still warm fragrant tea in front of Su You and then said to Su You in a consultative tone: "I wonder if Mr. Su has ever heard of the soul-condensing spirit stone?"
"Soul-condensing spirit stone?"
Su You, who had already made an inference when he heard these four words, pretended not to know anything, raised his head and asked Lin Jiangyue: "I haven't heard of it. I wonder if Miss Lin can Tell me in detail what this soul-condensing spirit stone is?"
"good."
Lin Jiangyue immediately explained to Su You: "The so-called soul-condensing spirit stone is actually a kind of spiritual stone, but it is different from our common spiritual stones. What is contained in the soul-condensing spirit stone is not the spiritual power of heaven and earth. But every cultivator who has cultivated to the realm of the soul and beyond is eager to increase and strengthen the spiritual power of the soul and soul, so it is called a soul-condensing spirit stone."
"As expected." He thought to himself. On the surface, Su You pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and then asked in a skeptical tone: "But what does this have to do with me? You two are asking people to take me with you at this time. When I come here, it can't be that something big is going to happen to me, right?"
After finishing speaking, Su You looked around at Lin Jiangyue and Eji Hongzhuang with teasing eyes.
Lin Jiangyue blushed and turned her head away the next second after being stared at by Su You's teasing gaze.
Ji Hongzhuang's cheeks were slightly red, but she did not turn her head. Instead, she faced Su You's gaze and said word by word: "You are right, there is no such thing as pie in the sky. We I came to you this time to discuss a cooperation with you."
"Oh?" Su You didn't expect Ji Hongzhuang to admit it directly, "Then I would like to know what the cooperation is."
Ji Hongzhuang immediately said: "The reason for the cooperation is that people from the Ji family and Lin family excavated a large number of soul-condensing spirit stones in a mine near the Evil City. However, during this period, people from the Tianxing Dynasty have been We are talking about cooperation with the two forces, and we don’t want to cooperate with the Tianxing Dynasty, but we can’t refuse the other party explicitly. We can only use a method that can prove that the other party’s strength is not enough to cooperate with our two to develop the soul-condensing spirit stone. method to reject the other party.”
"I think you must have guessed that the Tianxing Dynasty I'm talking about is actually that guy Sun Hua."
"And our plan is to let you deal with Sun Hua. After all, Sun Hua is your defeat in the Ten Thousand Sects Immortal Association, and the Alchemist Association is one of the best in the mainland in terms of status. If you stand up to help us, I think Tianxing Dynasty will definitely retreat when faced with difficulties."
After saying what she wanted to say, Ji Hongzhuang sat on the chair and waited quietly for Su You to answer her.
Su You fell into deep thought.
He had thought that there would definitely be a conflict between himself and Sun Hua, but he never thought that this conflict would come so suddenly.
Thinking of the disaster that Song Yilan once mentioned, even if Su You didn't believe it, he could still think of Sun Hua, or perhaps the Tianxing Dynasty behind him was the culprit that caused his disaster.
"But if I refuse to help them, can I avoid the conflict with Sun Hua? Will the disaster not happen?"
Su You thought to himself.
At this time.
"boom!"
Sudden.
The door to the private room was suddenly violently pushed open, and the innkeeper's pleas could be heard chasing after him.
The sound of the door being pushed open was loud, directly bringing Su You, who was in deep thought, back to reality.
Su You immediately turned his head and looked in the direction of the door of the elegant room, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he sighed in his heart, "Destiny, destiny... Is this the so-called destiny? I didn't expect that I couldn't hide even if I wanted to." ··”
It turned out that it was not someone else who just violently pushed the door open.
It was Sun Hua, the second prince of the Tianxing Dynasty royal family, whom Su You had thought about and did not want to have any more interactions with.
The second prince broke into the private room alone. After seeing Su You's presence, he ran directly in front of Su You and shouted in a deep voice: "I didn't expect it to be you, such an eyesore, damn guy again! You are here What to do?"
Seeing that Su You had no intention of responding to him.
Sun Hua immediately turned red with embarrassment and shouted, "This prince is asking you a question! Are you deaf and can't hear?"
"Okay, okay."
Pretending to pick his ears in boredom, Su You said to Sun Hua with a nonchalant expression: "Don't forget that I am a sixth-grade alchemist personally certified by Master Ma Debangma, the honorary president of the Alchemist Association. Don't say It's you. Even if your father comes in person, you still have to be polite to me, let alone an unpopular second prince like you. If you continue to talk nonsense in front of me, I can let you. The Alchemist Association will no longer have any cooperation with Tianxing Dynasty from now on, and will even ask Tianxing Dynasty to pay a higher price than others for any elixir purchased from now on. Do you think the Alchemist Association will? Support me in doing this?”
The moment the words fell.
The elegant room that was noisy just now immediately became as quiet as a pool of stagnant water.
Especially Sun Hua, who was so angry just now and seemed to want to attack Su You directly, immediately took a few steps back with a complex expression after hearing Su You's words, gritting his teeth but feeling helpless.
It was obvious that he simply did not have the courage to represent the Tianxing Dynasty and have a quarrel with the Alchemist Association.
On the contrary, Su You was able to represent the attitude of the Alchemist Association as a sixth-grade alchemist.
This way.
Even if Sun Hua had more words to say, he could only force himself to swallow them. He was truly asking for trouble.
In this way, the atmosphere between Su You and Sun Hua became awkward.
Sun Hua, who had just entered with great momentum, was retreating at this moment.
It wasn't until he retreated from the private room that he had the courage to shout angrily at Su You from a considerable distance away: "Su You, wait for me! He is just an alchemist. I must teach him a lesson." you!"
After saying the harsh words, Sun Hua, who knew in his heart that he could not help Su Youhe in the presence of Lin Jiangyue and Ji Hongzhuang, immediately turned around and left, not forgetting to curse.
When the innkeeper saw that the troublemaker Sun Hua had finally left, he quickly stepped forward and closed the door of the private room again in fear.
At this time.
Su You, who had not moved from his seat, suddenly raised his head and said to Ji Hongzhuang and Lin Jiangyue: "Actually, this is what you call cooperation, right? After all, Sun Hua is just an unpopular person and there is absolutely no way he can sit on the throne of the crown prince. As the second prince, even if there is a conflict, you believe that the Tianxing Dynasty will give priority to maintaining a good relationship with you, and if necessary, it can even take the initiative to give up Sun Hua, the unimportant second prince."
"Haha..." Su You then shook his head and chuckled: "So Sun Hua is just a chess piece, and you still play with it."
"So are you willing to cooperate with us?" Ji Hongzhuang was a little anxious. She didn't want to continue talking riddles with Su You like this, causing both parties to keep guessing at each other.
"Let's cooperate..."
Su You glanced at the closed door, then chuckled: "Since it's cooperation, it must be beneficial to both parties. So since you want me to cooperate with you, what benefits can I get from it?"
"You!" Ji Hongzhuang had long expected that Su You would say this, "I know you are a guy who has no profit and can't afford to be early!"
Lin Jiangyue followed Ji Hongzhuang's words and said: "If Mr. Su is willing to cooperate with us to squeeze out the people from the Tianxing Dynasty, you can get 20% of the soul-condensing spirit stone veins, and Ji and Lin's The clan elders will also recognize you more, so Hongzhuang and I..."
"Stop!" Su You, who knew what Lin Jiangyue was going to say next after listening to what Lin Jiangyue said, hurriedly interrupted, "I can cooperate with you, but my requirement is that in addition to the two soul-condensing spirit stone veins, In addition to success, if the Tianxing Dynasty takes action against me, the Ji family and the Lin family will definitely come forward to help me solve the problem. If not, then there is no need for us to continue talking about this cooperation."
"Okay! We agreed!"
Ji Hongzhuang immediately agreed to the conditions proposed by Su You. At the same time, she took out a contract from her arms and put it in front of Su You. After signing her name on it with her spiritual power, "Since you agree to cooperate with us, then Just sign your name on this contract.”
"This contract..."
But when Su You took a closer look, he saw that in addition to the soul-condensing spirit stone veins, the contract also mentioned things between him, Ji Hongzhuang and Lin Jiangyue.
Su You raised his head with a complex expression and looked at the two girls with reddish faces, and said in confusion: "These two conditions for signing a marriage contract with you should not have been in place, right? I mean, you two girls, what are you doing? Why bother? I, Su You, shouldn’t be the kind of person that everyone loves, right? "
"no!"
Ji Hongzhuang suddenly stretched out her hand and slapped it, with a wicked smile on her face, and said: "If you don't sign, then just wait for Sun Hua to cause trouble for you!"
With that said, Ji Hongzhuang and Lin Jiangyue made preparations to leave.
"etc!"
Su You hurriedly stopped him, and used his spiritual power to write his name on the contract in front of him. At the same time, he discussed: "But I have to make it clear to you, even if this contract exists, it does not mean that I, Su, You are really the fiancé of both of you."
"It's okay, this isn't something you should care about anymore."
Ji Hongzhuang reached out and grabbed the contract and put it in her arms. Then she took Lin Jiangyue's hand and left the private room. She turned her head and said to Su You with a smile: "Dear fiancé, please don't escape from the evil-proofing city overnight. Oh, as long as I have this contract, I can find you at any time."
Lin Jiangyue blushed and said, "Mr. Su, let's meet again later."
The words fell.
The two women left the private room satisfied.
Su You was sitting at the table, looking at the table full of delicacies, but he couldn't arouse any interest. He thought to himself, "Tsk... I didn't expect that this so-called destiny is so difficult to escape. It seems that starting from today You really have to be extremely careful, but you can’t just come to the Evil-Repelling City and you’ll be buried here.”
