Free Web NovelChapter 1213: Chapter 940: I Beg You!
Who is it? It really is an old acquaintance! Isn’t this too much of a coincidence?
Hearing the slightly helpless tone of the other party, Gongxi Yanchang was secretly pleased—Mr. Jiang’s status is definitely not inferior to the Vice Alliance Hierarch! Jin’Er is truly fortunate, meeting benefactors one greater than the other!
"You actually know Mr. Jiang as well?" Gongxi Jin was a bit confused.
Upon further thought, alchemists are exceedingly precious in the Wilderness, and it is quite normal for Mr. Jiang, being a high-tier alchemist, to have such connections. Perhaps the entire Demon Realm Alliance relies on him for elixir refinement.
Du Li couldn’t help but smile bitterly inside; it’s more than just acquaintance—going to the small courtyard four times a day to get beaten up, how could one not be familiar?
Seeing the time was about right, he replied, "Coincidentally, I’m going to visit Mr. Jiang’s residence. He’s been busy and not at home lately, so you may tell Bai Yunqi first and see how Mr. Jiang arranges things."
"Thank you for the introduction, Vice Alliance Hierarch." Gongxi Jin bowed in gratitude.
Gongxi Yanchang felt quite pleased in his heart; just hearing the Vice Alliance Hierarch mention Mr. Jiang’s attitude shows he’s no ordinary alchemist.
No matter whose tutelage my daughter joins, her future is bound to be limitless! Unfortunately, the status of this person is too high, and I never expected to be able to make connections before, not even knowing his name or surname. Now, there’s no choice but to refer to him as "Vice Alliance Hierarch," which feels somewhat inappropriate.
"Apologize to City Lord Gongxi," Du Li kicked his newly acquired spirit pet and said coldly, "For causing such great loss and panic, you must take full responsibility."
Under the eaves of the house, the Iron Armored Lion Demon had no choice but to step forward and apologize.
The family was feeling amused and aggrieved. If this demon beast could be slain by Jin’Er, extracting the demon core would surely be sold for a good price to compensate for the loss. But now, it was taken as a spirit pet by the Vice Alliance Hierarch. Who dares not accept such a light apology?
The crucial point is, an apology can’t be spent like money! freewebnσvel.cøm
Despite the mental calculation of the losses, Gongxi Yanchang, being a city lord, accepted the apology in a proper manner, putting on a good front.
"In principle, the main culprit should bear all losses, including the destroyed city defensive array and the compensation for fallen cultivators." Du Li knew well and said solemnly: "However, this guy is quite sturdy, able to withstand a fierce blow from the Heaven-Flipping Seal. I figured it would be more useful than extracting the core, so I took it as a spirit pet, and the compensation will naturally be the responsibility of the owner."
He’s not one to speak empty words; he immediately flicked his fingers and took out a set of advanced arrays and a pile of spirit stones from his storage bag.
The surrounding demon cultivators immediately let out a chorus of exclamations—being personally gifted an array by the Demon Realm Alliance’s Vice Alliance Hierarch lost face as it was a lower level than the original.
So Carefree City benefited from this misfortune; not only did it reveal that the city lord’s daughter had hidden depth, able to easily contend with fierce great demon beasts in critical moments;
It also exposed the Vice Alliance Hierarch’s frequent movements in the city, showing interest in its dynamics, otherwise how could it have been so coincidental?
Most importantly, after breaking a set of city defense arrays moments ago, there was a higher-level one to replace it!
As ordinary demon cultivators, the most important demand for the security of the city they live in is paramount, as it’s not easily feasible to take your family, business, and restart in another city. After this incident, Carefree City now has higher security guarantees, and the prior momentary panic has been replaced by cheerful excitement.
"Ah, this, this..." Gongxi Yanchang truly wanted it, but managed to suppress his excitement and quickly waved his hand saying, "No need to be so polite..."
"This set of city defense array is stronger than the previous one, with Carefree City renowned for hunting demon beasts, it’s inevitable to encounter avengers like it. Using this to protect the city can gain more retreat time in necessary moments."
Du Li, seeing the agreed time was approaching, didn’t want to delay any further, so he ordered: "I’m sure the city lord has many matters to handle, take this array and set it up; meanwhile, open all the teleportation arrays normally, I need to teleport to Mr. Jiang’s residence."
With that, he looked at Gongxi Jin, smiling: "Let me inform Miss Hu, then we will go together to Mr. Jiang’s residence."
By then, it was the usual agreed time, but when Du Li arrived at the teleportation array with his newly acquired spirit pet and Gongxi Jin, it was not Hu Zhile waiting there, but the Artifact Refiner Leng Yutang.
"Alliance Leader Du, here are two Clear Heart Pills." Seeing Du Li approaching, the anxious Leng Yutang hurried a step forward, handing over a small jade bottle, eager to return to the small courtyard to observe the group’s "live broadcast."
Du Li: ???
"What Clear Heart Pills?"
"Ah? Didn’t Alliance Leader Du receive Miss Hu’s communication?" Leng Yutang, seeing his bewildered face, explained: "At dawn, Mr. Jiang was in a rush and summoned Miss Hu, Bai Yunqi, Senior Yan Xuan, and others to the Void. To avoid delaying Alliance Leader Du’s significant task, Mr. Jiang specifically ordered me to deliver two Clear Heart Pills."
Du Li quickly took out his communication stone from the storage bag, indeed finding unread messages from Hu Zhile.
At that time, he was thoroughly focused on accepting apprentices, leisurely watching Gongxi Jin beat up the Iron Armored Lion Demon, simply thinking it was Qu Luming uttering nonsense, not paying any attention.
Gongxi Jin heard that Senior Bai had already gone to the Void; the seeming gentle cultivator brought elixirs as a subtle message not to lead Vice Alliance Hierarch to Mr. Jiang’s residence.
She quickly asked, "Is Senior Xie Chenyuan around? Can I go to meet him?"
"He is here, but he is a bit occupied and may not have time to meet guests." Leng Yutang apologized with a smile, "Moreover, with Mr. Jiang and Miss Hu not present, I am not authorized to lead anyone back to the small courtyard via teleportation.
