The old monk glanced at me as if seeking my opinion.
I nodded my head. The old monk immediately started putting on an act, "Anituo, since my disciple has agreed, this matter will be reversed. With Brother Zhao's enthusiasm, this senior monk will not be courteous anymore."
Zhao Wuji also smiled and nodded his head. Along the way, he called Lei Li over and left the scene, leaving behind a stunned Hua Tian and dozens of stunned Silver Guard.
In the distance, I could still hear Silver Guard's incredulous voice.
"This time, Jia Zhengjing is going to be promoted and make a fortune!"
"Dammit, we're done for. If we knew earlier, we wouldn't have bullied him."
"Take a guess, what position will Jia Zhengjing be promoted to this time?"
"No matter what position he holds, he'll still get a lot of work done by the new officials. Let's just watch the situation."
"The most important thing is that his master, Ren Tu, protected him. Once Ren Tu remains, who would dare disobey Jia Zhengjing?"
"..."
Leaving the St. Tana Hotel, under Zhao Wuji's warm hospitality, they arrived at the East Tomb's most high-class Chinese restaurant, Cui Ya Tavern.
Yu Cuiya's roof, the four views, left for the sea, right for the city, is charming.
On the dining table, lines of delicious dishes were placed on the table. After changing into a new set of clothes, it was me who had opened my appetite. With the old monk by my side, I couldn't be bothered to care about all that as I picked up my chopsticks and wolfed down my food.
"Hahaha, Zhengjing's character is good, his temperament is good, he really deserves to be called a great disciple." Zhao Wuji laughed three times, picked up his glass with both hands and toasted the old monk.
Lei Li immediately followed Zhao Wuji's actions and hurriedly gave him a toast. Junior offers a cup to senior. "
The old monk was also not shy. He was clearly a monk who drank wine and meat. He raised his cup to his face and drank. He could not help but exclaim, "Good wine! Good wine!"
I swallowed the food in my mouth and looked up at Lei Li. This guy has become pretty fast. He knows that I'm not to be trifled with and never gave me that kind of look again. It's as if it never happened.
He pretended to be a good person and took the initiative to curry favor with me. He smiled and said, "I've always had high hopes for Zhengjing since the recruitment. Putting aside the benevolent senior, after Zhengjing gained fortune from his misfortune, his strength is now very strong and his future is limitless."
"No no, Big brother Lei is too kind." I pretended to return the compliment, silently scolding Lei Li for not being a good person either.
In the end, the old monk suddenly stared blankly at me and said, "Blessed by misfortune?"
"Ah, it's like this, I had some grudges with Hua Tian before, and I lost to him many times, and even fell back due to heavy injuries, but, what a blessing in disguise, my body actually had some kind of strange change, although now it's Middle Period of Land Resource, but I already have the peak strength of late stage." I quickly rounded up the question so that no one would notice the flaw.
At this moment, the blood vessels in my body had already calmed down, no longer showing any signs of swelling. All of the restlessness in my body had completely disappeared as it began to settle down and solidify.
"No wonder your body became so strange. So that's how it is. When you were young, I knew that you were a genius. I didn't make a mistake." The old monk stroked his long beard proudly.
Zhao Wuji smiled leisurely. He pretended to be friends without fighting and said, "If it wasn't for Zhengjing's recruitment, I wouldn't have been able to get to know that high monk. Now that I see him, I feel more and more sure that Miss Faang would be happy."
"About this, I, Ren Tu, do not like to lower myself to others, so I do not plan to work for anyone." The old monk immediately refused.
When I heard this, I was dumbfounded. However, after some thought, I also understood the old monk. He is Inborn Expert. He is free and unrestrained, so why would he look for trouble?
But the next moment, the old monk suddenly said something surprising, "But, I've been looking for my disciple for three years and I don't plan to leave this time. I've always been by his side, I, Ren Tu, have no family, I'm just a disciple.
Not working for Faang Ruolan, but staying by my side? His words were too good. Not only did he leave some leeway, he even continued to protect me. As expected of Master!
Zhao Wuji said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes, "I understand, after all, it's not that easy to make a decision, but it's also very good for you to stay by Zhengjing's side. I'll inform Miss Faang when I get back, and she will definitely personally meet with the High Monk, even if we can't work together, we might as well make friends."
"I, Ren Tu, do not seek fame or profit. I only seek Zhengjing's safety." The old monk said lovingly, his eyes full of kindness and protective.
Zhao Wuji cupped his fist and then lowered his hand. He looked at me deeply, "Zhengjing, now that your master is here and I'm around, if anyone dares to speak ill of you behind your back, you can be the first to tell me. I will help you deal with it immediately."
"Thank you for taking care of me, Elder Zhao." I clasped my hands and bowed. I didn't try to be modest with anyone. Anyway, there was an old monk with me.
On the other hand, Lei Li's face was secretly troubled. However, he forced out a smile and congratulated, "Brother Zhengjing, congratulations. In the future, other than the two of you, I, Lei Li, will give you a hundred percent of my support."
Speaking to this, Lei Li changed the topic and asked, "However, Elder Zhao, what position do you want Zhengjing to take?"
"Does that even need to be said? He directly levelled up to the level of Death Guard, and also wanted to teach those damn brats of Hua Tian a lesson. Zhao Wuji lightly patted the table, as if he treated me as his trusted aide, his mouth was a bunch of words as well.
Lei Li's face stiffened as he probed, "Deathguard? This... It doesn't seem to be in line with the rules, does it? Brother Zhengjing should only be able to tie with Hua Tian now. "
However, when Lei Li asked this question, Zhao Wuji's hair immediately stood on end. He obviously guessed the meaning behind Wu Tie's words, so he slapped the table and scolded: "It's not up to you to decide, it's not up to you to decide, but it was decided by me, Zhao Wuji. All the people around Miss Faang are my concern, I decide whatever I want to decide!"
I secretly sneered, thinking that Lei Li really didn't like people sharing power with him.
He always wanted me to kill Hua Tian, but he never thought that I would suddenly have such an awesome master. Not only did it not work out as he wished, he even made me sit on equal footing with him.
Lei Li lowered his head and took a sip of the white wine. He didn't ask any further questions. On the surface, he didn't seem to mind.
Thus, I stood up and clasped my hands once again, bowing respectfully. "Thank you, Elder Zhao. Zhengjing is unable to repay you in any way."
"Hey hey hey, Zhengjing, you don't need to be modest. As a young man, if you don't have enough resources to support yourself, it will be difficult to become a powerful person. As a common person, if you work for Miss Faang, you just need to get more resources to improve your strength. As a senior, I, Zhao Wuji, naturally have to take care of you, and you are such an outstanding young man." Zhao Wuji pressed his hands together, that look of his is so fake, he didn't even mention a single word of what he scolded me before, he acted as if nothing happened.
"Then what about Hua Tian, Han Yu, and the others?" I asked.
Zhao Wuji directly ignored it and actually said: "You are their superior, you can do whatever you want to do. I, Zhao Wuji, also hate shameless acts like Hua Tian."
I was secretly delighted. I was really looking forward to what Hua Tian and the rest's expressions would be when I go back and jump level 2 to the death guard.
But at the same time, this Zhao Wuji is also extremely hypocritical. I almost got sick of it.
