President Yu invited Hongdou into the living room, turned around and said to a servant: "You take these two brothers for a walk. I want to talk to the alchemist Hongdou alone."
The servant agreed, extended his hands to Shen Rui and Tang Bing and said, "Please."
Tang Bing was a little angry, Shen Rui quickly winked at her and said with a smile: "You guys talk, we just go outside to get some air." After that, he pulled Tang Bing and followed the servants to the yard.
President Yu looked at the two of them with complicated eyes and walked into the living room with Hongdou.
The two of them sat down as guests and hosts. President Yu smiled and said, "I'm afraid your two subordinates are not alchemists."
Hongdou was surprised. She didn't expect President Yu to have such sophisticated vision. She didn't dare to hide it at the moment, and said hurriedly: "These two are actually two friends from my hometown. They heard that I was going to attend the Alchemist Conference, so they followed me. I came to join in the fun, pretending to be two of my subordinates, and asking the president to be accommodating."
President Yu chuckled and said: "Miss Hongdou is seeing someone else. I'm just talking casually. As for their identities, I'm not interested. But I think they are young, but their strength is not low. If they are allowed to enter the conference, You have to make sure they don't cause trouble."
Hongdou muttered in his heart: "Even I don't know their identities."
President Yu continued: "I just ignored them on purpose just to test their character, but the younger boy looked more mature."
Hongdou smiled and said: "President Yu, don't worry, I will tell them."
President Yu sighed and said: "I am close friends with your master, and I should take more care of you, but I am not the only one who has the final say in this guild, and I have wronged you."
Hong Dou hurriedly said: "The president's heart of fist, Hong Dou Minggan Wu Nei."
The reason why she is qualified to participate in the election depends entirely on the nomination of the president. But in this election, President Yu only served as a judge. Two of the other four people were bribed by Chun Yufeng, and the other two had weird personalities and were incompatible with each other. There was nothing he could do about it.
The servant took Shen Rui to the back garden and said, "You can just walk around in the garden and don't get lost. I have something else to do and I'll greet you later."
Shen Rui smiled and said: "You go, let's go shopping."
At this time, the garden was full of fragrant flowers, and they were colorful. Although not as beautiful as the Baihua Valley, it still had a different charm. Shen Rui and the beauty enjoyed it together and couldn't help but be intoxicated by this scene.
Suddenly, they heard a shouting sound. Shen Rui and the two felt strange. There were people practicing martial arts in this garden. They followed the sound and saw through the hollows in the wall. It turned out that there were two strange-looking old people in the yard on the other side of the wall. They were competing in martial arts. The two old men were tall and short. The tall one looked tall and mighty. He was a head taller than Shen Rui. He had a huge rosacea on his face. The short one was a dwarf. With a gray beard, Shen Rui and Tang Bing thought he was a child. Both of them were wearing the clothes of a fifth-grade alchemist, and they seemed to be one of the elders of the Alchemist Guild.
Just listen to the dwarf say: "No fight, no fight, your body is so long, and I can't use martial arts. It's me who suffers every time."
The tall man smiled and said: "You are so short that you still ask me to spar with you. You deserve it."
The dwarf said unconvinced: "Don't be complacent. If I use martial arts, your big man is no match for me."
The tall man hummed: "That's not necessarily true. It's not like we haven't competed before, and it's not like we're tied every time."
The dwarf said: "I let you do that. You have no conscience."
The tall man said angrily: "You have the nerve to say what you have to give in. If we have the ability, we will fight with our true abilities."
The dwarf said: "Just fight, I'm afraid you won't succeed."
Tang Bing couldn't help but chuckle when he saw that these two people were talking like children.
The tall man and the short man heard this smile immediately, and the tall man shouted: "Where are you, you wild boy? You dare to eavesdrop on our brothers, get out of here."
The dwarf also said: "Get out of here quickly, otherwise I won't blame you for being rude."
Seeing that he had been discovered, Shen Rui waved from the other side of the wall and said, "Seniors, don't be angry. We were just passing by and didn't mean to listen to what you said."
The tall man's expression changed and he said: "Come over if I ask you to, don't leave your mother-in-law alone."
Shen Rui and Tang Bing had no choice but to jump over the wall and walk towards them.
The dwarf stared at the two for a while and said: "Two little kids, one of them has a beard on his face, tell me who sent you here to monitor us."
Shen Rui was startled and hurriedly explained to them the reason why they were here.
After hearing this, the expressions of the two old men softened slightly. Shen Rui and Tang Bing were congratulating themselves, but unexpectedly the short man said again: "Even if you came here by mistake, who was laughing just now? Was it because he was laughing at my old man's short stature?" Doesn’t look good?”
Tang Bing said hurriedly: "Senior, don't worry too much. How dare I, this junior, laugh at you?"
The dwarf said: "Okay, it's okay if I don't blame you. As long as you can say something to make me happy, I will pretend that nothing happened."
Tang Bing was panicked and didn't know what to say. He looked at Shen Rui for help. Shen Rui smiled and turned his head as if he hadn't seen him.
The dwarf shouted: "Speak quickly, or my old man will take you to refine medicine and make elixirs."
As soon as Tang Bing heard the word "medicinal elixir", he felt happy and suddenly inspired, "As the saying goes, concentration is the essence. It is most suitable for you to be an alchemist."
"Condensation is the essence." The dwarf chewed this sentence repeatedly, laughed loudly, clapped his hands and said, "Well said, well said."
Shen Rui didn't expect that Tang Bing would also have sharp teeth, and secretly admired her cleverness.
The tall man was overjoyed when the dwarf said something to him, and said loudly: "Little boy, you laughed at me just now. You should also say something to make me happy, otherwise I will not be polite to you."
His voice was like a bell, which startled Tang Bing. The dwarf smiled and said, "Don't be afraid of him. As long as I am here, he won't dare to do anything to you."
Tang Bing raised his head and glanced at the tall man, feeling inspired and said, "You represent the future development direction of the Alchemist Guild, which is higher, bigger and stronger."
"Higher, bigger, stronger." The tall man laughed and said, "Okay, okay, I like this sentence."
"You two are obviously one of metal and one of water, but you dare to pretend to be an alchemist. How brave you are."
The dwarf said suddenly.
Shen Rui and Shen Rui looked at each other. They didn't expect that the dwarf had such sharp eyes. Shen Rui said hurriedly: "The two of you are Hongdou's friends. In order to protect her, we had to pretend to be alchemists. Please don't take it off, seniors."
"Protect her?" the tall man asked strangely, "could it be that someone is trying to harm her?"
"This..." Shen Rui didn't know whether the two of them would be harmful to Hongdou, and he didn't know whether to say yes or not.
"Little boy, tell me, we two brothers have always hated these sneaky behaviors. Chun Yufeng sent us things several times, but our brothers sent them back." The dwarf saw Shen Rui's concerns and said hurriedly.
"The person who wants to kill her is none other than Chun Yufeng." Shen Rui took the risk.
