As the night gets darker, the lights of Heavenly Snake City light up everywhere, illuminating the entire city like daylight.
Jiang Donghua was sitting in the courtyard, tapping his fingertips on the stone table, with a faint smile on his lips.
Hong Ling stood with his sword in hand, leaning against the pillar, his eyes glancing towards the courtyard door from time to time, obviously still somewhat doubtful about Jiang Donghua's judgment.
"Junior brother, are you sure that Bai Xiaofeng will come?"
she asked in a low voice.
Jiang Donghua stretched lazily and said.
"Senior sister, think about it, he took out three Third-grade Pill Recipe in front of so many people today. Not only did he fail to win me over, he also had a big fight with Third Young Master, which made everyone known."
"Now that the whole city knows that he has the pill recipe, do you think he can feel at ease?"
Hong Ling nodded thoughtfully.
"You mean, he's afraid of being spotted?"
"More than that."
Jiang Donghua There was a hint of cunning in his eyes.
"For him, the elixir cannot be transformed into strength immediately. Instead, it will attract covetousness. Instead of keeping it hot, it is better to use it in exchange for my favor."
"After all, a Fourth-grade Alchemist friendship is much more valuable than a few Third-grade Pill Recipes."
Hong Ling hummed softly.
"You are quite good at calculating."
Jiang Donghua picked up the teacup with a smile.
"This is called retreating to advance. If he is smart, he will definitely come tonight."
Before he finished speaking, a burst of hearty laughter came from outside the hospital.
"Hahaha! Master Jiang, please forgive me for disturbing you late at night!"
I saw Bai Xiaofeng striding into the courtyard, followed by two maids, one red and one green, with graceful figures.
The one in red is of course Hong Yu whom I saw during the day. At this moment, she lowered her head and her eyes flickered, obviously she still had lingering fears about Hong Ling.
The maid in green had a beautiful face, a smile on her face, and held an exquisite brocade box in her hand.
"Who is this?"
Jiang Donghua looked at the maid in green and asked with a smile.
Bai Xiaofeng waved his hand and introduced.
"This is Biyao, my personal maid. She is responsible for taking care of my elixir storage."
Biyao bowed Yingying with a gentle voice.
"Seen Master Jiang."
Hong Ling glanced at her, a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say much.
Bai Xiaofeng didn't beat around the bush and just asked Biyao to present the brocade box and said with a smile.
"Master Jiang, what happened today was because I was reckless. These three prescriptions are my right to apologize, and I hope you will accept them!"
Jiang Donghua pretended to be surprised.
"Ninth Young Master, why is this so embarrassing? This is Third-grade Pill Recipe, it's worth a lot of money."
Bai Xiaofeng waved his hand and said boldly.
"How can a few prescriptions compare to the friendship of Master Jiang? What's more, with the master's skills in refining medicine, he might be able to deduce higher-level prescriptions from them!"
Jiang Donghua smiled secretly in his heart, this guy was really good at talking, he gave him gifts and complimented him.
He took the brocade box, opened it, and saw that it was indeed the three prescriptions from the day, and they were well preserved. It was obvious that Bai Xiaofeng had not done anything on them.
"Ninth Young Master is so sincere. If Jiang refuses again, it will seem pretentious."
Jiang Donghua closed the brocade box and smiled slightly.
"If you need alchemy in the future, just ask."
Bai Xiaofeng's eyes flashed with joy, but he soon sighed with pretense of regret.
"Oh, it's a pity that third brother disrupted the situation today. Otherwise, I would have wanted to have a long talk with Master Jiang and ask for advice on how to make alchemy."
Jiang Donghua How could you not hear the underlying meaning?
He immediately laughed.
"Ninth Young Master If you are interested, there is no harm in chatting now."
Bai Xiaofeng was overjoyed and was about to speak when a burst of laughter suddenly came from outside the hospital.
"Ninth brother, when you visit Master Jiang late at night, why don't you call me third brother?"
Everyone turned around and saw Bai Wuchen holding a folding fan and walking slowly into the courtyard with a smile.
Behind him, there were two guards in black with calm auras. They were obviously Battle Spirit level other strong men.
Bai Xiaofeng's face darkened and he said coldly.
"Third brother, you are so ignorant of etiquette when you come here uninvited?"
Bai Wuchen shook his fan and said leisurely.
"Etiquette? Ninth brother can visit us late at night, why can't I? What's more, Master Jiang is our distinguished guest Heavenly Snake City, so we can't let you have it all to yourself, right?"
Hong Ling frowned slightly, put his hand on the hilt of the sword, and whispered.
"Junior brother, something is not right."
Jiang Donghua remained calm, with a hint of amusement even flashing in his eyes.
"Interesting, the two young masters have made an appointment to come to me for tea together?"
Bai Wuchen chuckled, his eyes swept over Bai Xiaofeng, and then landed on the brocade box in Jiang Donghua's hand, saying meaningfully.
"It seems that Ninth Brother's gift, Master Jiang, has been accepted?"
Bai Xiaofeng snorted coldly.
"If Third Brother is jealous, you can give him something, why bother being so weird?"
Bai Wuchen calmly took out a jade slip from his sleeve and handed it to Jiang Donghua.
"Master Jiang, this is a fragment of Fourth-grade Pill Recipe that I, Heavenly Snake City, have collected. Although it is incomplete, if Master is interested, you may wish to take a look."
Jiang Donghua raised his eyebrows.
This Bai Wuchen, do you really think that I am a stupid young man who has never seen the world?
I sneered in my heart, Fourth-grade Pill Recipe Fragments?
Hehe, even the complete Soul Imprint is probably incomplete. Even if you give it to me, it will take several months to complete it, and I don't know how much precious materials will be wasted during this period of trial and error."
He picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The aroma of tea lingered on his tongue, but his thoughts were particularly clear.
But Bai Xiaofeng, Jiang Donghua turned their eyes slightly and looked at the young man in white who was looking forward to them.
Although this person acted recklessly, he was more successful in taking action quickly.
Three pieces of Third-grade Pill Recipe were given as promised, eliminating the need for haggling.
Jiang Donghua coughed twice, glanced at the jade slip in Bai Wuchen's hand, then shook his head and smiled.
"Third Young Master, every time you come here, you always promise something, but this thing, your sincerity is a little too shallow."
His tone was leisurely, but every word was like a needle, poking directly at Bai Wuchen's sore spot.
Bai Wuchen frowned slightly, folded the fan in his hand, and a coldness flashed in his eyes, but he still maintained a smile on his face.
"Master Jiang This is wrong. Since I have taken out the fragment of the alchemy recipe, I naturally want to give it to the master. How can I say it with too much sincerity?"
But Jiang Donghua just raised his hand gently, put the brocade box sent by Bai Xiaofeng on the table, and said calmly.
"What a pity. I have already accepted Ninth Young Master's gift first. This is probably God's will. If Third Young Master has nothing else to do, why not come back another day? Ninth Young Master and I still have some private matters to discuss."
As soon as he said this, Bai Xiaofeng immediately became elated, glanced at Bai Wuchen proudly, and sneered.
"Third brother, did you hear that? Master Jiang said it all, this is God's will! You'd better be wise and stop being in the way here!"
Bai Wuchen's face turned gloomy, the folding fan in his hand closed with a "snap", and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
The two guards in black behind him also took a step forward slightly, Battle Spirit level other breaths faintly dispersed, obviously exerting pressure.
Hong Ling snorted coldly, unsheathed his dagger half an inch with a clang, and stared at the two guards without giving in with the cold light.
The atmosphere instantly became tense!
Jiang Donghua was still calm and composed, and even poured himself a cup of tea slowly, took a sip, and then said slowly.
"Third Young Master, this is the VIP courtyard of Heavenly Snake City, not a martial arts arena. If you want to do something, why not change the place? Otherwise, it will not be good for anyone if it makes a big fuss."
His tone was calm, but the threat hidden in his words made Bai Wuchen's eyes freeze.
Indeed, if we take action here, it will not only alarm the senior officials of Heavenly Snake City, but may also make other forces laugh. What's more, Jiang Donghua has the support of his ninth brother behind him.
Bai Wuchen was silent for a moment, then suddenly unfolded the folding fan again and chuckled.
"Master Jiang is right, I was the one who was abrupt."
He looked deeply at Jiang Donghua and said meaningfully.
"However, there is a long way to go. I hope Master Jiang will not regret today's choice."
After saying that, he turned around and left, followed closely by the two guards.
After Bai Wuchen disappeared outside the hospital, Bai Xiaofeng finally couldn't help laughing.
"It's so nice! This is the first time I've seen Third Brother look so defeated!"
Jiang Donghua smiled slightly, but there was a hint of depth in his eyes.
Bai Wuchen This person is very scheming and will never give up.
Tonight's rejection may have made him hold a grudge.
"Just what I wanted."
Jiang Donghua smiled secretly in his heart.
If everyone is polite to him, how can he fish in troubled waters?
Bai Xiaofeng came closer excitedly and whispered.
"Master Jiang, since the third brother has left, why don't we talk about cooperation?"
Jiang Donghua raised his eyebrows.
"Oh? Ninth Young Master What do you want to talk about?"
Bai Xiaofeng had a flash of ambition in his eyes and lowered his voice:
"I would like to ask Master Jiang to help me compete for the position of Heavenly Snake City Young City Lord!"
Jiang Donghua's eyes flashed and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
The fish finally took the bait.
