"It’s a deal! Alchemist Chu must not break his promise!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Tianci was overjoyed, afraid that Chu Feng might change his mind, and wished he could pinky swear to ensure it.
"I’ll toast Alchemist Chu with two cups!" He imdiately picked up his cup and proactively toasted Chu Feng. "I’ll drink first as a sign of respect!"
Chu Feng did not refuse either, and also drank in one gulp, showing the boldness of a true man.
"Alchemist Chu, you must not forget our agreent! I still have so matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave now!" After Zhu Tianci finished his toast, he realized it would be improper for him to stay any longer.
It could easily lead to misunderstandings.
If that annoyed Chu Feng, it would not be worth it.
It should be known that he was invited by Liu Lang to diate the situation. He was supposed to be in opposition to Chu Feng.
Now that he knew the other diator was Chu Feng, he naturally no longer wished to be involved in this diation. He took the initiative to withdraw.
"Prince Zhu..." Liu Lang gave chase but Prince Zhu left without turning his head, even loudly warning, "Listen well, Alchemist Chu is not soone you can afford to provoke. If you can’t discern when to advance or retreat, be careful that your Liu Family might be wiped out directly!"
He left behind this word of caution, as a gesture of regard for their past acquaintance.
Others might not know of Chu Feng’s abilities, but Prince Zhu was very aware.
He was nothing less than an exceptional powerhouse that even the Princess sought to recruit. Not to ntion, his influence in the Alchemy Dao was even more significant.
Upon hearing those words, Liu Lang shivered.
At this point, he realized just how terrifying Chu Feng truly was.
It turns out that the gap between him and Chu Feng was not just in talent. He also lost to Chu Feng in terms of power and status.
It was a fortune that he didn’t call his father to co along; otherwise, his father might have been handled by Chu Feng as well. Without the Liu Family’s First-grade official, their family would likely suffer a huge loss to their vitality.
It could even result in falling to the status of a lesser clan.
"What now? Still planning to rely on your family’s power to compete with Brother Dharma for the lady?"
Chu Feng wore a cold smile.
"Ha... Brother Chu jests! I, Liu Lang, was blinded by arrogance, relying on my father’s influence, thinking I was unmatched. In comparison with Brother Chu, I’m nothing. There’s no need to ntion strength, as I have been far surpassed by Brother Chu. Status... I couldn’t imagine that even the Eight Virtuous Princes would seek Brother Chu’s favor, I’m not even worthy to carry your shoes."
"Please, Brother Chu, in consideration of our shared brotherhood within the sect, spare my Liu Family."
Although Liu Lang was a profligate, he knew when to bow his head and submit.
Provoking powerful figures without admitting wrongdoing could lead to only one outco – the destruction of the Liu Family. There were nurous examples of this.
"As long as you no longer pester Zhao Min, I naturally can’t be bothered with such trifles. But if you think of bullying Brother Dharma, an honest man, with your power again, then don’t bla for not being courteous."
"I can tell you, the Eight Virtuous Princes are not the only high-ranking officials I know."
After warning Liu Lang several tis, Chu Feng let go of the matter graciously and did not pursue it further.
"This round of drinks is on ! In the future, should Brother Chu visit Crimson Fire City, all expenses will be on , Liu Lang..." Liu Lang was quite magnanimous, having his own way of making friends.
Unfortunately, Chu Feng had no interest in his offer.
"Stop there, I appreciate the sentint. I can still afford my als."
"Fine then! I shall take my leave! This al today must be on , otherwise, Brother Chu would look down on , Liu Lang!" Liu Lang also understood that revered figures like Chu Feng could not be swayed by minor favors.
Chu Feng has superb alchemy skills, which makes him even more formidable.
Zhao Min’s parents saw everything with their own eyes. Surprisingly, they did not try to persuade Liu Lang to stay when he left.
They could never have dread that the matchmaker invited by Pu Fazheng was of such a noble identity.
Even the Eight Virtuous Princes had to fawn over him, how could a second-generation rich kid like Liu Lang compare?
"Master Chu, we have thought it through. As long as our daughter is happy and well, that’s more important than anything. She has set her heart on that fool, and with your willingness to represent him in matchmaking, we have no reason to object. We agree to this marriage!"
Zhao Min’s parents’ agreent delighted both Zhao Min and Pu Fazheng.
Both of them excitedly looked at each other.
"Uncle and aunt, it’s not my place to say this, but children have their own luck. I understand that you want to protect your daughter and choose a son-in-law. However, just looking at short-term benefits is not a good approach. Brother Fazheng may not hold a high status now, but in the future, he will surely leave Liu Lang far behind."
Chu Feng himself is the best example.
He has proven with facts that a commoner can also rise and turn the tides.
"Master Chu is right in admonishing us, we were montarily confused! When our daughter gets married, please make sure to attend, Master Chu, and have a drink to celebrate."
"Certainly, as the matchmaker, I will definitely attend."
Chu Feng readily agreed with a smile.
The matchmaking today was truly full of twists and turns. Initially thought to be difficult, the unexpected appearance of Prince Zhu led to a reversal of the plot, smoothly bringing this marriage about.
After the feast was over and Chu Feng left, the restaurant’s waiter was nearly on his knees sending him off.
It is likely that the waiter witnessed the scene of Prince Zhu proactively toasting Chu Feng from outside and, coupled with Liu Lang’s explicit instructions to fulfill all of Chu Feng’s requests and not to neglect him, the waiter was quite shrewd and naturally knew of Chu Feng’s extraordinary status.
At the ti, he had mistakenly believed that Chu Feng was a guest of the Liu Family.
"Brother Fazheng, Master Pu, I won’t be returning to the Sect with you! I have so matters to attend to."
Chu Feng rarely ca out, planning to visit Vermilion Bird Imperial City and then go to the imperial cities of the other three Heavenly Countries to check on setting up branches.
Three years earlier, Chu Feng had sent Wu Ming to Dan State, in charge of planting and managing dicinal herbs.
And he recruited a large number of dicine farrs to grow dicinal herbs, turning Dan State into the largest source of dicinal materials.
Chu Feng, along with Yan Qing and Han Dong, headed outside the city.
Just as they left the city gate, Chu Feng sensed soone secretly eyeing him.
"Yan Qing, Han Dong, you two split up and leave separately. There are formidable experts secretly spying on us, and I fear they an ill," Chu Feng’s Divine Sense was extrely powerful, on par with the level of a Supre Sword God.
He could easily detect the enemy’s surveillance.
"Master, let’s face them together!" Yan Qing and Han Dong, fearless in the face of danger, naturally refused to leave Chu Feng on his own.
"Enough talk, there are more than a dozen enemies, and they are all of the level of Supre Sword God. Staying by my side, you will only be a burden. If sothing really happens to , there should be soone left to return to the Sect to send a ssage for help."
Chu Feng was also secretly guessing the identity of these enemies.
The Liu Family certainly did not have the power to enlist so many unparalleled experts.
