"Oh," Tang Bing nodded, no wonder Chunyu Feng would send someone to kill Hongdou.
Hongdou sighed and said, "I was just worried that she would kill me, so I specifically found this remote inn to stay. I didn't expect that I couldn't escape Chun Yufeng's pursuit."
Shen Rui smiled and said, "Miss Hongdou is wearing such a conspicuous alchemist costume. It's really hard for people to find you."
Hongdou said: "It's not that I like to wear this clothes, it's because the Alchemist Guild stipulates that alchemists must wear alchemist clothes at all times, and I can't help it."
Shen Rui nodded to express his understanding, and then said: "Since Chun Yufeng will send people to kill you, this at least means that she is not sure of victory. Miss Hongdou need not worry."
Hongdou said: "Actually, whether Chunyu Feng comes to kill me or not, I have already lost."
Shen Rui pretended to be surprised and said: "We have long heard that Miss Hongdou is the number one genius in the alchemy world of the Donghua Empire. How come you seek defeat so easily?"
Hongdou sighed again and said: "You don't know the truth. I consider my level of alchemy to be no worse than that of Chun Yufeng, but this time to participate in the elder competition, the Alchemist General Association requires each of us to pay a deposit of 15 million gold coins. Regardless of winning or losing, this money will fall into the guild's pocket. I originally wanted to find a few big families and some chambers of commerce to solve the money problem, but unexpectedly, these people were afraid of losing everything, so no one was willing to lend a helping hand. The day after tomorrow. There's a competition coming up, and if I can't borrow the money before tomorrow night, everything will be in vain."
Tang Bingbing smiled and said: "I heard that Miss Hongdou is the most beautiful woman in the alchemist world. Isn't there any handsome guy willing to help?"
Hongdou blushed and said, "Yes, there are, but these people have bad intentions. I rejected them."
Shen Rui smiled and said: "If there is a handsome guy in front of you who is willing to help you and is kind-hearted, will you refuse?"
Hongdou didn't understand what Shen Rui meant, and said, "I've seen it in my dream."
Shen Rui said: "It's not a dream, it's the one with the jade tree in front of you right now."
Hongdou's face suddenly became excited, she grabbed Tang Bing's hand, looked at Tang Bing in surprise and said, "Brother Tang Bing, are you willing to help me?"
Tang Bing was extremely embarrassed and hurriedly said: "It's the one who is more handsome than me."
Hongdou turned around and looked at Shen Rui: "This little brother, is it you?"
Shen Rui coughed hard and said: "First of all, let me state that I am not young anymore. Please remove the small character in front of brother."
Hongdou smiled and said: "Okay, Brother Shen, are you willing to help me?"
Before Shen Rui could speak, Hongdou shook his head again and said: "You two, stop pretending in front of me. Fifteen million is not a small amount. How can you bring so much cash with you? Besides, we met by chance." , why do you want to help me?"
Shen Rui said: "I have the money, but you have to agree to one condition."
Hongdou had heard so many words like this that night, and said angrily: "It turns out that you are just like those shameless people. You want to add insult to injury and cheat my innocent body. I tell you, it is impossible. If I am willing to do this dirty thing I've already borrowed the money."
Shen Rui smiled and said: "Miss Hongdou, you misunderstood. I didn't mean this condition, but other things."
When Hong Dou heard this, her face turned red, her anger disappeared, and she hurriedly said: "You two have any other conditions, but it doesn't matter."
Shen Rui looked at Tang Bing, who said to Hongdou: "Brother Shen has the money you want, but he hopes that after he helps you, you can refine a Nirvana Pill for us."
"The fifth-grade elixir Nirvana Pill?" Hong Dou frowned, "It's quite difficult, but for me, it can be done. I promise you."
Shen Rui said: "I will pay for your election, but I want you to promise to refine the Nirvana Pill for us regardless of whether you are elected as the elder of the Alchemist Guild or not."
Hongdou nodded: "Of course."
"Okay," Shen Rui took out a space ring and handed it to Hongdou and said, "Here is the money you want, count it."
Hongdou took the ring, wiped off the spiritual power on it, took a quick look at it, then put it in her arms and said, "Since you want something from me, you won't lie to me."
Shen Rui suddenly said: "Besides, we both have a small condition."
Hongdou was overjoyed now that he had money. He said without hesitation: "If there is anything else, as long as I can do it, you can ask for it."
Shen Rui chuckled and said, "We have never seen that alchemist conference of yours. We want to visit it with you. This shouldn't be a problem?"
Hongdou smiled and said: "That's easy too. I just need to get two sets of alchemist costumes, and you can pretend to be my subordinates, and you can travel without any hindrance."
She continued: "It is no longer safe here, we should find another place to live."
The three of them left the shop at night and found an ordinary family to live in the city.
The next day, Shen Rui and Tang Bing put on the alchemist costumes given to them by Hongdou, pretended to be two second-grade alchemists, and followed Hongdou towards the Alchemist General Guild.
On the way, Hongdou took off her green gauze mask. Shen Rui saw that she had slender eyebrows, rosy nose, and red lips. She was about eighteen or nineteen years old. She was very beautiful. She couldn't help but secretly praise her. She is indeed the best in the world. No wonder the head of the Ma family said that he was willing that day. He bankrupted everything for her. Seeing Shen Rui staring at Hongdou, Tang Bing poked Shen Rui's arm and whispered: "What are you looking at? I've never seen a beautiful woman before."
Shen Rui woke up, rolled his eyes at her, and whispered: "Everyone has a love for beauty. Are you jealous?"
"You men are all perverts." Tang Bing blushed and turned away to ignore him.
The three of them walked for a while, and Hong Dou pointed forward and said, "This is the General Guild of Alchemists."
Shen Rui and Tang Bing took a look and saw that the Alchemist's Guild was tall, spacious and luxurious. It was many times bigger than the Alchemist's Guild in Linchuan City. The two warriors in front of the door were majestic and powerful. .
Hong Dou walked over and said to the two warriors: "Brothers, I am Hong Dou, a fifth-grade alchemist. These two are my subordinates. Please inform the president."
When the two of them saw the fifth-grade alchemist mark on Hong Dou's chest, their hearts trembled and they did not dare to neglect. One of the warriors said: "Please wait a moment, I will go in and report." After saying that, they hurried inside.
After a while, a fat old man in his fifties or sixties, also wearing the uniform of a fifth-grade alchemist, walked out with a smile.
"Hongdou, why are you here now? I thought you gave up the campaign." The old man smiled.
Hong Dou hurriedly greeted him and said, "Junior, something delayed me on my way. Please don't take offense to President Yu."
President Yu laughed heartily and said, "How could this be possible? As long as you are willing to come, this guild will be a prosperous place."
He continued: "We haven't seen you for a year. Hongdou, you are becoming more and more beautiful. Even this old man like me is attracted by you."
Hongdou blushed and pointed at Shen Rui and Tang Bing: "These two are my subordinates Shen Rui and Tang Bing."
Shen Rui and Tang Bing saluted President Yu and said, "Junior, please see President Yu."
President Yu didn't even raise his head, ignored Shen Rui and the others, and said: "Everyone, please come in."
Shen Rui couldn't help but feel very angry when he saw that President Yu's nostrils were turned upward and he actually treated the two of them as nothing. But after all, he had rich experience in the world and had seen all kinds of people, so naturally he didn't care about President Yu's attitude. .
