Everyone was confused by Kong Buyi's words. Why did it seem like Kong Buyi knew Chu Yunfan?
And Kong Buyi addressed Chu Yunfan as "Little Friend." This was clearly a sign of lowering his status to be on the sa level as Chu Yunfan.
Chu Yaowei could even see a hint of flattery and nervousness on Kong Buyi's face. It was as if he was afraid that Chu Yunfan would refuse.
'Chu Yunfan's possible refusal is making Kong Buyi nervous? What kind of logic is this?!' Chu Yaowei was completely dumbfounded. He could not understand what was going on.
'What is wrong with the world? Why is it becoming more and more incomprehensible?
'I must be mistaken sohow!'
Chu Yaowei soon ca to a conclusion. He must have made a mistake. Kong Buyi was the president of the Alchemist Association. Even when Kong Buyi was talking to him, he was neither servile nor overbearing. How could he show any signs of fawning over Chu Yunfan?
This was completely illogical!
At this mont, everyone's eyes were on Chu Yunfan and Kong Buyi, especially Chang Shenghong and Chu Xiujie, who looked as if they had seen a ghost.
What sort of figure was Kong Buyi? He was a great figure who could stand on equal footing with many marquises. Even if these younger generations wanted to et Kong Buyi, he would not be bothered.
Even though Chang Shenghong was related to Duke Ning, it was nothing in front of Kong Buyi. He was the president of the Alchemist Association of a large city.
But now, he was lowering himself to Chu Yunfan's level. No matter how one looked at it, it was very strange.
Beside Chu Yunfan, Chu Hongcai's face was flushed with excitent. Kong Buyi was a big shot that he didn't dare to et. Now, Kong Buyi was friendly with Chu Yunfan, who was of the sa generation as him. Brother Fan was simply aweso.
Chu Yunfan hesitated for a mont. He imdiately understood why Kong Buyi would be so humble in front of everyone, and it wasn't just because he was a senior alchemist.
Even as a senior alchemist, he would at most be on the sa level as Kong Buyi. Even if Kong Buyi wanted to build a relationship with him, he would not have to do so.
Kong Buyi probably knew about his battle with Wan Huang.
Just the identity of a senior alchemist wasn't enough to make Kong Buyi like this, but if Chu Yunfan was also a half-step Core, it would be completely different.
If an ordinary person could do any one of these, it could be said that it was sothing worth bragging about for a lifeti. In the entire Great Wei Kingdom, they would be powerful characters.
Moreover, Chu Yunfan had done it in such a short period of ti. Judging from his age, it could be said that he would definitely beco an alchemy expert and a Core in the future.
Now, many people thought that Kong Buyi was trying to make friends, but in reality, he was trying to cozy up to soone in advance.
Chu Yunfan wasn't surprised anymore. He said, "Since President Kong has such kind intentions, you shouldn't reject it, Matriarch. Although it looks precious, to an alchemist, it's very cheap."
Hearing Chu Yunfan's words, Kong Buyi's face revealed a hint of joy. He quickly said, "That's right, that's right. Actually, the really expensive thing is the labor cost. To , it's just so ti spent. It's not worth ntioning as long as you like it, Matriarch."
Seeing that Chu Yunfan did not refute, Kong Buyi finally heaved a sigh of relief. Just as Chu Yunfan had guessed, Kong Buyi had gone to the Imperial Capital to specifical report Chu Yunfan's matter to the headquarters.
However, he hadn't taken Chu Yunfan seriously. After all, he was also a senior alchemist, so he still had so reservations. But when he returned, he heard a series of things about Chu Yunfan. Others didn't know who the owner of Shanhe Alchemy Pavilion was, but the Alchemist Association did. They even knew that it was Chu Yunfan from the beginning.
However, at that ti, he only wanted to provide so convenience for Chu Yunfan. Who knew that Chu Yunfan would beco more and more terrifying?
In particular, he had defeated Inherited Sword Manor's Manor Lord, Wan Huang, in battle. No, to be precise, Wan Huang had been beaten by Chu Yunfan and was forced to flee in a sorry state. He had almost been killed by Chu Yunfan.
When this matter ca out, the entire Alchemist Association of Conglong City was shocked. Although alchemists were often martial arts experts, they were only ordinary ones.
At Chu Yunfan's age, he was actually a master of alchemy and a martial arts expert at the sa ti and had extrely shocking achievents in both fields.
If this continued, Chu Yunfan would very likely beco an alchemy expert and a Core in the future. No matter which of these identities he achieved, he would beco a famous figure in the entire Great Wei Kingdom. With just a stomp of his foot, the Great Wei Kingdom would tremble.
If he could do both, he would probably beco an unprecedented existence.
This ti, even Kong Buyi could not be bothered to continue being reserved, and hurriedly took advantage of this excuse to express his goodwill. Fortunately, although Chu Yunfan had seen through his intentions, he did not reject his goodwill. Chu Yunfan seed to be agreeable.
This made Kong Buyi heave a sigh of relief.
Seeing that Chu Yunfan had actually agreed, Chu Yaowei and the matriarch felt that sothing was not right. Why did they feel that sothing was wrong? From the looks of it, why did it feel like Kong Buyi was going to co up with sothing and was afraid that Chu Yunfan would be unhappy?
As for Chu Yunfan, he was the one being flattered, but he still hesitated and thought it over.
No matter how they looked at it, it was strange. However, the two of them were not idiots. How could they not see that Kong Buyi was probably here for Chu Yunfan, and the matriarch's birthday celebration was just an excuse?
Thinking of this, the matriarch didn't refuse because she believed that Chu Yunfan would do things with restraint.
"In that case, I won't stand on ceremony. n, take President Kong's gift," the matriarch said, "President Kong, please take a seat."
Kong Buyi finally sat down.
Chang Shenghong was still a little confused. He had been threatening Chu Yunfan just a mont ago. How did the situation change so suddenly? No matter how he looked at it, the lilight had inexplicably fallen on Chu Yunfan.
Although he didn't understand what was going on, seeing Chu Yunfan's nonchalant attitude made him gnash his teeth in hatred.
"Chu—" Just as Chang Shenghong was about to continue making things difficult for Chu Yunfan, there was another announcent.
"The president of the Situ rchant Guild has arrived with his beloved daughter, Situ Miaoyi!"
Another commotion went through the crowd. Another big shot had personally arrived.
Everyone was a little dumbfounded. What was going on today? Normally, these big shots would not appear easily. But today, they appeared one after another!
