Elder Mei Yun smiled and waved her hands:
"Okay, everyone, please go back and complete your alchemy tasks first. Then Elder Yu will inform you of the time and personally take you to the Alchemy Cauldron Alliance."
Hearing this, all the young people responded with a smile and then left together.
Elder Yu greeted Xiao Zhan and then left.
Elder Mei Yun then looked at Xiao Zhan and said with a smile:
"Elder Xiao, our host invites you to a banquet."
Xiao Zhan nodded and walked side by side towards the entrance of the courtyard with Elder Mei Yun.
Zixuan followed the two of them, lowering her head and wondering what she was thinking.
Soon, Elder Mei Yun took Xiao Zhan to another, more secluded place.
This place is already located on the edge of Thirty-three City, but there is an extremely quiet forest.
Although this place is not blocked by any walls, no one else is seen entering or exiting.
This time Zixuan took the initiative to speak and smiled at Xiao Zhan:
"Senior Brother Xiao, my father is usually very busy. When he has a little free time, he likes to come here to sit. When distinguished guests come, my father also entertains them here."
Xiao Zhan nodded lightly and followed Mei Yun and Zixuan into the woods.
There is a quiet stone road in the woods.
The surrounding towering trees are extremely lush, with beams of sunlight falling through the gaps in the leaves, and the air is exceptionally fresh.
Deep in the dense forest, there is a pool with various colorful fishes. In the stone pavilion next to it, there is a middle-aged man sitting, whose appearance is somewhat similar to Zixuan.
This person is none other than the owner of Thirty-Three Treasures Building, Zichen.
Zichen made an invitation gesture.
Xiao Zhan smiled and sat down opposite Zichen. Elder Meiyun and Zixuan also took their seats on both sides.
As a junior, Zixuan took the initiative to pour tea for the three of them, and then sat quietly beside them.
Zichen looked at Xiao Zhan with a smile:
"Elder Xiao, on behalf of the Thirty-Three Treasures Tower, I welcome you."
Xiao Zhan also smiled and hugged his fists:
"It's my pleasure."
After saying a few polite words, Zichen continued to smile:
"Elder Xiao is young and promising."...
"I heard from Elder Mei Yun that Elder Xiao is not only extremely accomplished in alchemy, but also very powerful himself."
"If I extend an olive branch to Elder Xiao, I wonder if Elder Xiao is willing to stay in my Thirty-Three Treasures Building?"
As soon as these words came out, even Elder Mei Yun and Zixuan were stunned.
The two of them never expected that Zichen would ask such a question.
However, the two of them soon realized that if Xiao Zhan could really stay in the Thirty-Three Treasures Tower, it would definitely be a huge gain for the Thirty-Three Treasures Tower.
However, the Alchemy Alliance must value Xiao Zhan very much. If Xiao Zhan really stayed in the Thirty-Three Treasures Building, then the Thirty-Three Treasures Building would have offended the Alchemy Alliance.
Xiao Zhan smiled and picked up the tea cup and took a sip:
"Senior is kidding me."
This is actually an answer, and it will not damage Zichen's face.
Zichen smiled and nodded:
"You're joking."
"However, I have another idea."
"I want Zixuan to also go to the Alchemy Alliance to learn alchemy. This can further deepen the close connection between our Thirty-Three Treasures Tower and the Alchemy Alliance."
Hearing this, Elder Zixuan and Mei Yun were stunned again.
Xiao Zhan didn't have much expression on his face.
As the daughter of the owner of the Thirty-Three Treasures Building, Zixuan once went to the Alchemy Alliance, the meaning behind it was not that simple.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Zhan nodded:
"If the poster really has this plan, I can communicate with the supreme elders of our Alchemy Alliance."
Zichen smiled and nodded:
"Then please ask Elder Xiao to help me ask."
Xiao Zhan didn’t hesitate either.
, immediately stood up and walked not far away, took out the messenger jade talisman and contacted Qing Xuanzi.
Half an hour later, Xiao Zhan walked back to the pavilion and sat down. After looking at Zixuan, he smiled at Zichen and said:
"We in the Alchemy Alliance welcome Zixuan to study."
"Also, one of our supreme elders can accept Zixuan as a disciple and teach her the art of alchemy in person."
Zichen seemed not surprised at all by this result.
He nodded with a smile, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and then looked at Zixuan:
"Then Zixuan, when Elder Yu leads the team to the Alchemy Alliance, you should also set off together."
"After you go, study hard on the art of alchemy."
Zixuan was still a little stunned at this time, but she quickly came to her senses.
She smiled and nodded, and it was obvious that she was happy with this.
Elder Mei Yun came back to her senses and nodded secretly.
When she met Zichen yesterday, she tactfully mentioned that Zixuan was interested in Xiao Zhan.
Zichen did not answer at that time.
There is an engagement between Zixuan and Zhuo Wen.
But if Zixuan goes to the Danding Alliance, there will be many excuses to postpone the time in the future.
In this way, even if Zhuo Wen's grandfather, the most powerful elder in the Thirty-Three Treasures Tower, is unhappy, he probably won't do anything detrimental to the Thirty-Three Treasures Tower.
As for Mei Yun's original idea, betrothing Zixuan to Xiao Zhan and marrying the Thirty-Three Treasures Tower and the Alchemy Alliance, now it seems that it is indeed not the safest approach.
If Zhuo Taishang is angered, even if he doesn't dare to cause trouble head on, whatever he does behind the scenes will cause huge losses to the Thirty-Three Treasures Tower.
After chatting for a while, a powerful aura suddenly appeared outside the woods.
Xiao Zhan and Zichen looked towards the entrance at the same time.
Zichen said lightly:
"Mrs. Zhuo is here, please come in."
The next moment, Master Zhuo's figure appeared outside the pavilion.
He walked into the pavilion with his hands behind his back.
Elder Mei Yun quickly stood up and gave up her seat to Mrs. Zhuo.
Mrs. Zhuo nodded. After sitting down, he took the tea from Zixuan, took a sip with a smile, and then looked at Zichen and said:
"Master, I heard that the elders of the Alchemy Alliance are here to visit. I would also like to meet them."
Zichen smiled and nodded, then looked at Xiao Zhan and took the initiative to introduce:
"Elder Xiao, let me introduce you."
"This is Zhuo Qingsong, the supreme elder of our Thirty-Three Treasures Tower. His grandson is called Zhuo Wen. You should have met him when you attended the auction before. He is a very good young man."
Xiao Zhan hugged Zhuo Qingsong and nodded calmly:
"Zhuo Wen...well, he is a nice young man."
Zhuo Qingsong looked at Xiao Zhan and spoke calmly:
"My useless grandson is nothing compared to Elder Xiao."
Xiao Zhan didn't answer.
Zichen took over the topic, chatted for a few more words, then suddenly looked at Zixuan and said:
"Zixuan, Elder Xiao has a lot of things to do and won't be able to stay in our Thirty-Third City for long."
"You and Elder Mei Yun will take Elder Xiao around, and you must entertain Elder Xiao well."
Zixuan stood up immediately, nodded, looked at Xiao Zhan and said with a smile:
"Senior Brother Xiao, let me show you around."
Xiao Zhan nodded lightly, then stood up and followed Zixuan and Elder Meiyun towards the outside of the dense forest.
Looking at the backs of the three of them, Zhuo Qingsong said expressionlessly:
"What plans does the owner have for the cooperation between our Thirty-Three Treasures Tower and the Alchemy Alliance?"
As Zichen waved his hand, the tea set on the table disappeared and was replaced by clear wine.
He poured Zhuo Qingsong a glass and then replied:
"The situation in the chaotic world will undergo drastic changes in the near future. This is already a consensus among all the superpowers."
"No superpower thinks that it can survive peacefully in the world."
"Almost all superpowers are looking for allies and planning for the future. We are no exception, and the Alchemy Alliance is no exception."
"This can be seen from the recent eagerness of the Alchemy Alliance to recruit disciples."
"As for the Alchemy Alliance's strength in alchemy, it is destined that all super powers will be willing to cooperate with them."
"But no matter how you look at it, having too many allies is not a good thing."
"And if our Thirty-Three Treasures Tower can establish an alliance with the Alchemy Alliance, it will be of great benefit to our Thirty-Three Treasures Tower without any harm."
Zhuo Qingsong nodded.
He completely agreed with what Zichen said.
"But, how can we make the Alchemy Alliance choose our Thirty-Three Treasures Tower among the many allies?"
"The biggest trump card of our Thirty-Three Treasures Building is all kinds of materials."
"But what can really be regarded as strategic materials are nothing more than elixirs and magic weapons."
"In contrast, the Danding Alliance should be more willing to form an alliance with forces like the Shenbing Pavilion."
Zichen smiled and nodded:
"The problem you mentioned, Mr. Zhuo, is also the problem that I am currently in trouble with."
"I wonder what Mr. Zhuo has to say?"
Zhuo Qingsong thought for a moment and suddenly said:
"Marriage, marry Zixuan to Xiao Zhan."
Zichen suddenly smiled, poured another glass of wine for Zhuo Qingsong, shook his head and said:
"But Zixuan and Zhuo Wen are engaged, and I personally agreed to it. How can I go back on it?"
Zhuo Qingsong picked up the wine glass and shook his head:
"This is the best way. Besides, Xiao Zhan is considered the best monster among his peers."
"When we were Xiao Zhan's age, we were far, far behind him."
Zichen's expression became calm and he did not answer this sentence.
Zhuo Qingsong put down his wine glass, stood up and said:
"I have already sent a message to Zhuo Wen and asked him to come back immediately. Then I announced that the engagement between him and Zixuan is void."
"I know the landlord is in trouble, so just leave this matter to me."
After saying that, Zhuo Qingsong's figure flashed and disappeared into the pavilion.
Zichen's face remained calm.
Not long after, the void rippled, and an illusory figure appeared next to Zichen.
Zichen asked with a smile:
"What do you think?"
This illusory figure was silent for two seconds before asking in a unique voice that could not distinguish between male and female:
"Is the poster talking about Xiao Zhan, or what Zhuo Qingsong just said?"
Zichen took another sip of wine and smiled:
"Let's talk about it."
Xuying got straight to the point:
"Xiao Zhan is a dragon and a phoenix among people. I can't see through him. I'm afraid the host can't control him either."
"Moreover, he doesn't have that kind of interest in Zixuan. I'm afraid he won't stay in the Alchemy Alliance in the future."
"Such a person, even if he does not rely on a super power, can still create great achievements."
"As for Zhuo Qingsong, what he thinks in his heart is not important at all."
"With the current layout of the building owner, he can't make trouble."
Zichen nodded, put down his wine glass, his expression became serious, he looked at the shadow and said:
"When Zixuan and the others go to the Alchemy Alliance, you should also go there. I have already contacted the Alchemy Alliance. They will not mind your presence. Just stay with Zixuan and protect her. .”
The shadow nodded and disappeared into the void again.
Zichen stood up and waved his hand, when a crystal coffin suddenly surfaced from the pool next to him.
In the crystal coffin, there lay a woman with a beautiful face.
Zichen sighed and murmured softly:
"Don't blame me, sending Zixuan to the Alchemy Alliance was a helpless move.
This is not a bad thing for her. "
