Zhou Zhengjiao impressed. His father's flattery skills were simply superb and natural, the whole process was smoother than Dove chocolate, without a trace of insincerity.
The Crazy Old Man hated nothing more than being flattered, but there were only two people who flattered him most comfortably.
One is Zhou Lingxing, and the other is his beloved apprentice Jiang Fan.
"Let me ask you first, how's the situation now?"
Zhou Lingxing frowned and said, "The people I sent in haven't come out to report yet, so we don't know for now."
" Brother Thigh, what exactly do you want to tell me? Is it related to this secret realm?"
Zhou Lingxing wasn't stupid. The fact that Brother Thigh was contacting him at this time and asking him to do something must be related to this secret realm.
"Have you seen the people Xiao Yan sent?" the Crazy Old Man asked directly, no longer beating around the bush.
Um?
Zhou Lingxing was taken aback, somewhat curious as to why Brother Thigh would pay attention to the people Yan Tianyang sent.
" Yan Shuai didn't tell me who the person he sent was, so I don't know his identity."
The Crazy Old Man frowned slightly, a hint of worry in his expression.
Zhou Lingxing couldn't help but ask again, " Brother Thigh, I'm very curious. Why are you so concerned about a mere High-Stage Third Rank- rank Martial Artist? Is he some junior you know?"
"He is not High-Stage Third Rank."
The Crazy Old Man's answer surprised Zhou Lingxing once again.
"W-what? Not High-Stage Third Rank martial artist? Could it be a Fourth Rank Martial Artist? Impossible! No Fourth Rank Martial Artist has ever entered the Zhou Family Secret Realm. Brother Thigh, you're not kidding me, are you?"
"You think I called you specifically just to joke with you?"
"How could that be? How could that be? You don't call me unless you have a reason. It's just that he—"
Before Zhou Lingxing could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the Crazy Old Man.
"He's only at the Middle-Stage Second Rank."
"What?!" Zhou Lingxing suddenly raised his voice, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Zhou Zhengjiao was quietly standing nearby, was also shocked when he heard these words, his heart filled with turbulent waves.
The Crazy Old Man originally didn't want to say anything, but the purpose of his call was to get Zhou Lingxing to take care of Jiang Fan. If he didn't tell him, how could he take care of him?
"Don't be surprised, he is indeed at the Middle-Stage Second Rank."
Upon hearing this again, Zhou Lingxing no longer had any doubts.
I still couldn't help but gasp.
That's absolutely shocking.
"I wonder what his relationship is with you, Brother Thigh?"
"What kind of relationship he has is none of your business. You tell your men to protect him well inside. If I find out he's lost a single hair, I'll make you pay, you old bastard," the Crazy Old Man said.
Zhou Lingxing was shocked once again.
He had initially guessed that the person Yan Tianyang sent was just a junior acquaintance of Brother Thigh.
But judging from the serious tone in Brother Thigh's voice just now, and the level of importance he attached to it, he had never seen anything like it from this guy before.
Aside from the Brother Thigh and his grandson.
He would at most say a word in support of other people's younger relatives.
Honestly, if someone can even say a word in their defense, it's like their ancestors' graves are emitting auspicious smoke.
And now that Brother Thigh is so concerned, even saying he won't allow a single hair to fall, how could he not be shocked, utterly shocked!
"Big... Brother Thigh, what are the distinguishing features of this guy you asked me to take care of? Otherwise, I won't know who he is and won't be able to take care of him."
"Features... um..."
The Crazy Old Man thought about it seriously for a few seconds, then replied, "Handsome, no, exceptionally handsome."
If he weren't handsome, even if Jiang Fan was incredibly talented, he probably wouldn't have accepted him.
There's no way around it; he was bombarded with images of stunning good looks during his childhood, and ever since then, he's looked down on anyone who isn't handsome.
Take his son for example. He had a son late in life and should have loved him dearly, but unfortunately, he wasn't good-looking, so he was just so-so.
But his grandson was different; he was incredibly handsome, so he cherished this precious grandson the most.
Unfortunately...
Why!
The Crazy Old Man tilted his head back and gulped down several mouthfuls of wine.
Zhou Lingxing speechless.
But he wouldn't show it, because that's Brother Thigh!
"Uh, Brother Thigh, besides being handsome, what other notable features do you have?"
"Extremely handsome, exceptionally handsome, you can spot him in a crowd at a glance, isn't that a striking feature?" the Crazy Old Man said irritably.
Zhou Lingxing "..."
Is he really that handsome?
Of all the people he had ever known in his life, the only one who was so handsome was the one who gave him the Spirit Weapon.
"But many of the people who came this time were wearing masks or face coverings. Although I can see their true faces with my cultivation level, there are so many people that I can't possibly look at them all. Even if they stood there and I took my time to look at them, I probably wouldn't be able to see them all with my strength. After all, I'm not Spirit Master."
This is the advantage of Spirit Master. If you are Spirit Master, you can scan a large area with your Psychic Power and see thousands of people in no time, let alone thousands. You can see tens of thousands or even a million people in no time.
But it's different for Martial Artist. They need to expend their qi and blood and energy. It's okay to look at a few people at random, but if they have to look at thousands of people one by one, they can easily be drained.
"Think again, what other significant features are there?"
The Crazy Old Man wasn't an unreasonable person, and since he had asked Zhou Lingxing for help, he naturally wouldn't make things difficult for him.
After thinking for a moment, he pursed his lips and said, "He is Spirit Master."
Spirit Master!!!
Zhou Lingxing's heart was filled with turbulent waves, which he found difficult to calm down for a long time.
What shocked him was not only the prestige of the title " Spirit Master," but also the fact that this Spirit Master was related to Brother Thigh!
It's related to the Brother Thigh"!
This makes it easy to guess the relationship between the two.
"Big... Big... Brother Thigh, he... he... could he be your... your apprentice?"
Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask.
hiss--
The Crazy Old Man's words made Zhou Lingxing gasp.
Based on his understanding of Brother Thigh, if he didn't deny it, that meant he admitted it!
Oh My God!
Given Brother Thigh status and Brother Thigh eye, he actually took on an apprentice.
He knew inside information; when Yan Tianyang tried to push Ye Qizhen over there, even the Brother Thigh) refused.
However, he ended up taking someone else as his apprentice.
Needless to say, this person's talent is definitely superior to Ye Qizhen's!
hiss--
Thinking of this, Zhou Lingxing gasped again.
Just then, he heard a gasp of cold air.
hiss--
He smoked even harder than he did.
Looking back, he saw that it was his good-for-nothing son who had somehow gotten close enough to eavesdrop.
He kicked the person away right then and there.
"Alright, enough chit-chat. I'm going to continue drinking. Make sure you do a good job of what I asked you to do."
"Alright, alright, don't you trust me to handle Brother Thigh? I guarantee he won't lose a single hair! If he does, I admit defeat!"
