If it wasn't for Tong Wolsuo's reminder, Zheng Dongjue really wouldn't have thought of this. Now that he understood, his expression changed, "What should we do? With that bastard Lin Yi's personality, he definitely wouldn't give up the chance to kick us when we're down! "
"Therefore, this subordinate is going to talk about the third point." Tong Wolsuo sighed in his heart. His plan had always been to deal with Lin Yi, but now he had to rely on Lin Yi to help him out. As a strategist, it really made him feel disheartened.
"Vice Head, it's not impossible to ask Lin Yi not to obstruct us or even say a few good words for us. In the Dan hall, there are still people who have good relationships with Lin Yi. Not to mention the independent Five Elements Commerce Cai Zhongyang, just the Dan god's disciple Hou Guanqi is enough for Lin Yi to speak for the Dan hall." Tong Wolsuo's thoughts were very clear-he wanted to make use of all the people and relationships he could before daybreak. Who cared if they were friends or foes before?
Zheng Dongjue felt disgusted as if he had eaten a housefly. Did he have to beg Hou Guanqi to speak for him as the vice head of the Dan hall? A long time ago, he and Zhang Liju's disciples were on bad terms, and after Lin Yi appeared, their relationship became even worse. This time, he even tried to plot against Cai Zhongyang and Hou Guanqi. It was fine to ask Li Zaoyi for help, but asking Hou Guanqi was a bit too much.
Tong Wolsuo sighed in his heart. Zheng Dongjue's expression clearly showed what he was thinking. As far as he was concerned, those who did big things didn't care about trifles, and it was necessary to be flexible. In such an emergency, asking Hou Guanqi for help was definitely a good thing. With Hou Guanqi's personality, as long as Zheng Dongjue let go of his arrogance, there was a high chance that he would ask Lin Yi for the Dan hall.
Zheng Dongjue didn't say anything, so Tong Wolsuo could only speak up himself, "Vice Head, I know Hou Guanqi. Why don't you let me do this?"
In fact, the most effective way would be for Zheng Dongjue to do it himself. Tong Wolsuo came here in secret, and he would try not to show himself if he could. Tong Wolsuo's identity meant that he wouldn't have many interactions with Hou Guanqi. Unfortunately, Zheng Dongjue wasn't a responsible man, so there was nothing he could do.
Hearing Tong Wolsuo's suggestion, Zheng Dongjue actually breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Alright, then I'll leave Hou Guanqi to you. I'll go ask Li Zaoyi myself. Is there anything else? If not, we'll split up! "
If it weren't for the fact that Tong Wolsuo's identity wasn't enough to talk to Li Zaoyi directly, Zheng Dongjue might've let him do this as well. Tong Wolsuo wondered if he was lucky or unlucky to be following a master like this.
No matter what, the decision was made now. The two didn't say much and split up to find their own targets.
Zheng Dongjue went to find Li Zaoyi first, but unfortunately, Li Zaoyi didn't return. He encountered such a small probability event. His luck was really bad today.
He had no choice but to find Steward Song first and talk to Li Zaoyi when he came back.
Although it was already night, there were many people who came to visit Steward Song. Zheng Dongjue was also secretly complaining. Those who came to the Extreme North Island were basically big shots from all sides. In terms of status, no one was much worse than anyone else. He couldn't cut the line even if he wanted to, so he could only wait obediently.
Fortunately, the people who came to visit Steward Song basically just paid a visit, pulled some strings, and then left. After waiting for more than half an hour, it was finally Zheng Dongjue's turn, who was burning with anxiety.
After entering the living room, Steward Song sat on the main seat without any intention of standing up to greet them. Zheng Dongjue had a favor to ask, so he could only quickly walk forward with a smile and cupped his fists to greet him. "Steward Song, long time no see. You look more energetic. It seems that your cultivation has improved again!"
Steward Song raised his eyes and glanced at Zheng Dongjue indifferently. "Deputy Hall Master Zheng, my aptitude is poor. I haven't made any progress for many years. I'm really embarrassing myself in front of you!"
Zheng Dongjue was speechless. The atmosphere of this conversation was not quite right …
"I heard that Deputy Hall Master Zheng schemed against my Young Island Master as soon as you came. You're really capable and scheming. Compared to Deputy Hall Master Zheng, I'm really old. Meeting you today can be considered as ending our relationship of many years. Alright, since Vice Hall Master Zheng is leaving tomorrow morning, you should go back and pack your things. This old man is busy with work, so I will send you off here! "Steward Song said coldly and raised his hand, intending to send the guest off.
Zheng Dongjue turned pale with fright. He thought that Steward Song was willing to see him, so there was still some hope. Why was he chasing him away after just a few words?
"Steward Song, we've been friends for many years. Won't you feel regretful if we can't see each other in the future?" Zheng Dongjue wasn't very scheming, but he was very familiar with this kind of interaction. As he spoke, his body had already rushed forward. Before Steward Song could send the guest off, Zheng Dongjue reached out and grabbed his hand.
A green spiritual jade card was secretly sent into Steward Song's palm. On the surface, it looked like two old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years were greeting each other warmly.
Steward Song's eyes swept over the trace of green in his palm. His face instantly turned as white as the spring wind, and he revealed a smile that Zheng Dongjue was familiar with.
"Deputy Hall Master Zheng is right. We've been old friends for many years, and we might not have the opportunity to meet each other in the future. Before we part, we should have a good gathering." Steward Song smiled as he retracted his hand and put away the spiritual jade card that was worth 500,000 spiritual jade without anyone noticing.
"Someone, bring some tea for Deputy Hall Master Zheng and more spiritual fruits and pastries. Why don't you have any eyesight? You're all trash! " Steward Song raised his voice and said to the attendant outside the door. Then, he said politely to Zheng Dongjue, "Deputy Hall Master Zheng, please take a seat. Don't blame me for neglecting you! We've been old friends for many years. Let's have a good chat about the past. We might not have the opportunity to do so in the future! "
Zheng Dongjue's heart was filled with hatred. He knew that this old thing meant that the spiritual jade card was only enough for him to have a cup of tea and some pastries. Then, everyone could reminisce about the past. As for other matters, he didn't have to say it out loud.
Fortunately, Zheng Dongjue also knew that this old thing with the surname Song was someone who was greedy for money. As long as there was spiritual jade, he would be willing to help.
