The Boat Mistress Yun looked at Yang Zhen with great interest through her beautiful eyes, and suddenly said, "Would you two do me the honor of speaking in private?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhen's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, "Here it comes!"
Boat Mistress Yun is the master of the Flower Moon Pavilion. Normally, people would never see him even if they wanted to. Now, he would not come to the Three Treasures Hall without a reason. It is impossible that he was attracted by Yang Zhen's handsome appearance and unparalleled inner qualities and insisted on coming down to sing "Conquer" for him.
Now that the fox's true colors have been revealed, Yang Zhen sat calmly in his seat and, before Hua Youyue could speak, said, "There's no need to borrow one to talk. It wasn't easy for me to save so many; seed resources are hard to find these days!"
Boat Mistress Yun was taken aback, clearly not understanding what Yang Zhen was talking about. Yang Zhen didn't expect Boat Mistress Yun to understand either; even if he did, he wouldn't be discussing those popular ***** with him, only adding to his sadness.
"We haven't eaten yet. Whatever it is, Boat Mistress Yun, why don't you say it here? We can talk while we eat. My treat?"
Upon hearing this, the others all widened their eyes and looked at Yang Zhen as if he were a shameless scoundrel.
This wasn't the first time everyone had witnessed Yang Zhen's despicable behavior, but the way he cleverly and subtly invited Boat Mistress Yun made everyone want to pounce on him and tear Yang Zhen mouth to shreds.
Is it so easy to Boat Mistress Yun? There are so many talented young people present, including disciples and successors from blessed lands. Which one of them wouldn't want to invite Boat Mistress Yun Boat Mistress Yun dinner and have a long talk by candlelight?
Luo Wuchen, who was being ridiculed, was flustered, unsure whether to sit down or stand. When he heard Yang Zhen dare to make such a boastful invitation to Boat Mistress Yun, he snorted coldly but didn't dare to say anything more. He took the opportunity to sit down, picked up a glass of fine wine, and drank it while looking at Yang Zhen with schadenfreude.
"Alright!" Boat Mistress Yun sat down gracefully, and without any hesitation, sat next to Yang Zhen.
puff!
Luo Wuchen hurriedly turned his head and sprayed a mouthful of fine wine onto the face of the person next to him.
A... you agreed?
Everyone stared blankly at Boat Mistress Yun, then at Hua Youyue, and then at the composed Yang Zhen, feeling as if life had deceived them.
Both Hua Youyue and Boat Mistress Yun are outstanding women. Their figures and appearances are secondary; their identities are the biggest reason why they attract so much attention.
These two women, who are usually so high and mighty that it's difficult for them to even meet, are now sitting together in front of Yang Zhen, chatting and laughing with him.
Is Yang Zhen, that despicable guy, toxic?
To be honest, Yang Zhen didn't expect that Boat Mistress Yun would actually sit down like that. A fragrant breeze wafted over, sweet but not cloying, which complemented her sweet and soft voice perfectly. The fragrance was sweet and refreshing, no wonder so many men were drooling over her. She was indeed an extraordinary person, and a woman at that, a woman of status and position.
Such a woman, no matter where she is, would be sought after by men.
Yang Zhen clicked his tongue in amazement. Even after such probing, he couldn't fathom the depths of this Boat Mistress Yun's abilities, which showed just how cunning this woman was.
"May I ask what Boat Mistress Yun has with me?"
At this moment, Yang Zhen was genuinely curious.
Boat Mistress Yun chuckled and said, "I wonder how much Young Master Yang knows about the art of alchemy?"
Upon hearing this, most people around gasped.
"I see, so Boat Mistress Yun has his heavenly materials and earthly treasures on Yang Zhen."
"With Yang Zhen's support for the Flower Moon Pavilion, perhaps Boat Mistress Yun will be even more formidable and will shine brightly at the Donglin Island Pill Appreciation Conference."
"That's not necessarily true. Yang Zhen only brought out two heavenly materials and earthly treasures in total: Colorful Cloud Dew and Jade Lingzhi. Although these two rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures are rare, the major powers at the Pill Appreciation Conference are not to be underestimated."
"So what? How could Flower Moon Pavilion not have some foundation after all these years? With all the major powers pursuing them, this Pill Appreciation Conference will surely be unprecedented."
"It's said that Elder Chi will come in person?"
Listening to the discussions of the people around him, Yang Zhen became very interested. To be honest, he had always been very interested in the art of alchemy, but he had no way of learning it and could only explore it on his own.
On the way to the coast of the East Sea, the two old men they met seemed to have some skill, but they also seemed a bit foolish. Yang Zhen didn't want to waste his time and energy playing with them. Rather than that, he would rather study how to refine pills in a pressure cooker himself.
Seeing that Yang Zhen remained silent for a long time, Boat Mistress Yun that he had some reservations. He gave Yang Zhen a deep look and said with a smile, "It's like this, Young Master Yang must have heard about the Donglin Island Pill Appreciation Conference. If Young Master Yang is interested, we can cooperate. What do you think?"
Yang Zhen had never heard of any Pill Appreciation Conference, and sat there calmly, not answering her question immediately even as the Boat Mistress Yun blinked his alluring eyes.
Yang Zhen knew perfectly well that the more a woman blinked and acted cute for no apparent reason, the more ulterior motives she had.
Yang Zhen was willing to risk everything for a beautiful woman, but she was only after his money. He didn't want to become a sucker without knowing why, since it wasn't easy to swindle some crystals or pick up some heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
No one knew that Boat Mistress Yun was right; Yang Zhen really did not lack crystals and heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
Nine Realms Exquisite Pagoda, Yang Zhen found an entire ring of rare and heavenly materials and earthly treasures. In front of the Sea Pavilion, he also managed to swindle a considerable amount of crystals using his own skills. He had no intention of returning them. Did these people think they could just look up to Fat Tiger and Grass Chicken and not have to pay tuition?
Seeing that Boat Mistress Yun's eyes were almost tired from blinking, Yang Zhen turned to Hua Youyue and asked, "You went to Donglin Island, was it for this Pill Appreciation Conference?"
Hua Youyue nodded, then shook her head and said, "It's true that I'm going to the Pill Appreciation Conference, but my ultimate goal has nothing to do with the Pill Appreciation Conference. I want to visit a master alchemist and seek a specific elixir!"
Yang Zhen glared at him. "If you want something, just tell me. Do we have to be so formal with each other?"
Upon hearing this, Hua Youyue seemed to remember something, her jade-like face slightly flushed, and she glared at Yang Zhen, saying, " Heavenly materials and earthly treasures are certainly good, but in some aspects they cannot replace the effects of elixirs. Besides, those rare and heavenly materials and earthly treasures of yours are hard to come by, so don't waste them like this in the future."
Boat Mistress Yun gave the two a meaningful look, leaned forward slightly, and whispered in Yang Zhen's ear, "Young Master Yang, our cooperation doesn't conflict with Tower Master Hua's. In fact, if we cooperate and win the Pill Appreciation Conference, you'll receive many unexpected benefits."
"Oh?" Yang Zhen's ears itched to be scratched. He turned to look at Boat Mistress Yun and asked, "How do you know I can help you? And how do you know you'll definitely win the Pill Appreciation Conference? More importantly, what benefits will I get?"
Given Yang Zhen's stubborn nature of not acting until he sees a tangible benefit, mere whispers in his ear and verbal promises were clearly insufficient to sway him, even though he desperately wanted to be moved.
Seeing Yang Zhen's scrutinizing gaze, Boat Mistress Yun wasn't annoyed. He chuckled and whispered something in Yang Zhen's ear.
Yang Zhen's expression immediately changed!
Everyone around craned their necks and perked up their ears, looking at Yang Zhen and Boat Mistress Yun with curiosity.
The Boat Mistress Yun chuckled, got up and left. As he reached the stairwell, he turned back and smiled, instantly brightening the entire cabin.
You should really think about it!
Hua Youyue stared at Yang Zhen and asked, "What did she say to you?"
Yang Zhen looked completely innocent. "She said I'll find out when the time comes."
Hua Youyue rolled her eyes. "Do you think I'd believe that?"
Yang Zhen felt utterly wronged, glared fiercely at Boat Mistress Yun's backside, and said to Hua Youyue in a serious tone, "I swear on my integrity, that's really what she said."
Everyone rolled their eyes. Do you even have any integrity?
