Chapter 2007 - 1996: Bluffing
However, those people only expressed dissatisfaction, but listened to the old man continue, "But once that child leaves, you have to vouch for him."
"If that child really has ability, then that’s enough. If he bluffs, you’re responsible for it, right?"
"No problem!"
Nangong Shouhong simply replied.
"Then what do you plan to use as security?"
The old man asked again.
Nangong Shouhong didn’t pretend to think about it, and used the position of the dean of the Golden Core Academy as a guarantee.
"Wow——"
Upon hearing this, many senators immediately expressed shock.
The elder, who had a rift with Nangong Shouhong, also sneered when surprised.
Originally, he just wanted to create trouble for Nangong Shouhong, unexpectedly, Nangong Shouhong was actually the dean protecting Ao Cangsheng.
If you can have someone defeat Ao Cangsheng, not only can you occupy the position at the Alchemy Conference, but you can also change the master of the Golden Palace.
"Even if you don’t recommend Ao Gongzi, I will do my best to recommend him."
Nangong Shouhong interrupted his daughter’s words, with a plan in mind.
"But I’ve never seen Ao Gongzi make more than one pill. If he cannot produce more than one pill, your head..."
Nangong said with a conflicted face.
"No harm. Dad has been the dean for more than ten years. If he can be the hospital’s dean this time, he’ll gladly stay clean."
"You think the dean’s position is infinitely glorious, but in fact, it’s a tough job, not as good as you think."
Nangong Shouhong sighed deeply, as if a burden had been lifted.
Seeing her father’s expression, Nangong Mengyu couldn’t help but feel sad.
She knew Nangong Shouhong was actually comforting her.
Being the dean for more than ten years was probably hard for him.
Nangong Shouhong patted his daughter’s shoulder and said with a smile, "Don’t think about it. The competition hasn’t started yet. No one can be sure of the result."
After speaking, Nangong Shouhong turned around again, staring at him: "What I can do for you, child, I’ve done. The rest is up to you."
They nodded gratefully. "Don’t worry, master. Cangsheng won’t let you and Miss Mengyu down."
"Is that so? Are you so confident?"
Nangong Shouhong smiled and said.
"Yes!"
Ao Kangsheng smiled confidently.
"I can remind you, there are some real masters in the Golden Palace. You’d better be careful."
Nangong Shouhong looked around, seriously gazing at Ao Cangsheng.
"I know! But I still believe in my strength!"
Ao Cangsheng’s eyes showed a determined expression.
"So much the better!"
Nangong Shouhong said no more and immediately backed away.
Soon, a middle-aged man dressed in black hurriedly came to the hall.
Seeing this middle-aged man, Nangong Mengyu’s eyebrows immediately furrowed.
"His name is Yun Chi. He is an alchemy master of the Golden Core Academy."
"Now, although he is only 50 years old, he is already able to refine various second-grade pills skillfully."
"More importantly, the quality of the Immortality Elixir is the worst, yet it’s also the best among the four legs, making it a powerful Immortality Elixir."
When the black-clad middle-aged man entered the hall, Nangong Mengyu quickly explained to Ao Cangsheng.
This is the son of the Yun family of the Golden Core Academy, although his martial arts are mediocre. However, his alchemy far surpasses other children of the same clan. He is called the first person in the Yun family."
When Yun Chi entered the hall center, Nangong Mengyu spoke again.
"I have met all the elders and the head of the courtyard!"
When Yun Chi walked to the center of the hall, he first saluted the elders in front of him, then bowed to Nangong Shouhong.
Seeing Yun Chi’s actions, the elders couldn’t help but nod and smile, thinking this son was excellent.
After the ceremony, Yun Chi turned around, particularly looking at Ao Kangsheng next to him.
Before he came, someone told him about the matter in the Ziying Palace.
Therefore, Yun Chi naturally knew who the young man standing next to him was.
What surprised him was that Ao Cangsheng was far from the age he imagined.
"At your age, how much Gold Touching Technique can you have? It seems the dean of the hospital is really old and confused!"
Coldly glancing at Ao Cangsheng, Yun Chi thought to himself.
He didn’t believe that at Ao Kangsheng’s age, he could produce any technically competent pill.
Yun Chi had just left when another young man in his thirties quickly walked in from outside the hall.
Seeing this person, Nangong Mengyu once again expressed surprise.
His name is Yu Daoyuan, a member of the Golden Core Origin Yu family. Although he is young, his alchemy is not inferior to Yun Chi."
"Most remarkably, when he was thirty, he discovered an alchemy technique."
"With such Gold Touching Technique, his accomplishments are enough to rank among the top five Gold Touching Technique masters in the Golden Palace."
Looking at the spirited face of Yu Daoyuan, Nangong Mengyu’s voice carried some unease.
She didn’t expect that the people who came here today would have accomplishments comparable to Ao Kangsheng, and their power was even greater.
Especially, this Yu Daoyuan had already travelled for several months.
Unexpectedly, he came to the Ziying Palace at this time.
It seems the Yu family spent a lot of effort on this alchemy conference.
"I have met all the elders, I’m Yu Daoyuan."
When Yu Daoyuan came to the center of the hall, he just bowed and saluted, ignoring Nangong Shouhong.
Such an arrogant attitude not only made Ao Cangsheng slightly annoyed, even the elders showed a gloomy expression.
Just because of the face of the Yu family’s elders, they didn’t say anything.
"Are you the madman who threatened to fight for the Golden Palace?"
Yu Daoyuan glanced at Ao Kangsheng with contempt.
Nangong Shouhong said, "He is not from Golden Core Origin. It’s just because he had a lifelong mentor-student relationship with Peng that he barely became an honorary Elder of the Golden Core Academy."
"So he’s Peng’s disciple?"
Nangong Mengyu thought deeply.
"No!"
Nangong Shouhong smiled wryly and shook his head. "What you just said is quite the opposite. It should be said that Peng is half a disciple of this elder."
"What?"
Hearing this, not only did Nangong Mengyu show a look of shock, even Ao Cangsheng couldn’t help but open his mouth.
"Dad, if I’m not mistaken, I fear Peng is already 150 or 60 years old."
"But I can tell that this old man is at most eight or ninety. How could he be Peng’s master?"
Nangong Mengyu looked at the old man again and said in surprise.
Nangong Shouhong laughed and said, "Girl, you may not know that some people’s age can be seen from their appearance."
"But some people’s age cannot be judged by appearance alone."
"Are you talking about women?"
Nangong interrupted with a dream.
Nangong Shouhong, hearing this, suddenly had a black line.
"Alright, dad, go on!"
Seeing her father’s embarrassed expression, Nangong Mengyu immediately placated.
Nangong Shouhong coughed and continued, "This old man is one of the few people."
"Because his Gold Touching Technique is so advanced, the old man made an Immortality Elixir that doesn’t let him get distracted."
"It’s precisely with the help of this pill that his appearance is not as old as his actual age."
"In fact, I’m afraid this old man is already 300 years old!"
"Three hundred years?"
Nangong Mengyu once again showed a surprised expression, staring at the old man with some disbelief.
"Yes! Three hundred years!"
Nangong Shouhong nodded affirmatively.
"Maybe you don’t know that old man, but I’m sure you’ve heard his name."
After taking a breath, Nangong Shouhong added.
