Now that he had offered 500,000 spiritual jades, it was only enough for a cup of tea. It was obvious that this old thing had grasped his weakness and took the opportunity to raise the price. Unfortunately, Zheng Dongjue had no choice but to agree.
After secretly clenching his teeth, Zheng Dongjue secretly sent out a cyan spiritual jade card. This time, he had brought enough spiritual jades to the Northernmost Island. However, when he was on the ancient warship, he had already spent 15,000,000 spiritual jades in order to cheat Lin Yi. Now, he had to give away another 1,500,000 spiritual jades. Even he couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
Seeing that Steward Song was satisfied with the spiritual jade card, Zheng Dongjue forced a smile and said respectfully, "Brother Song, I won't say any nonsense. This matter is really just a misunderstanding. We are also old friends. For the sake of our many years of friendship, you must help your brother!"
Steward Song frowned slightly. He was a greedy person, but since he had taken the spiritual jades, he would still do something. Of course, he knew what Zheng Dongjue wanted him to do, but he really couldn't guarantee this matter.
As for the many years of friendship? Hehe, without spiritual jades, who would be friends with you?
"Brother Zheng, in the Northernmost Island, other matters can be settled with just a word from you. However, this matter concerns the young island master. To tell you the truth, this matter is not something I can interfere with. At most, I can help you put in a good word for the young island master. Whether it succeeds or not depends on the young island master's mood." Caretaker Song was rather straightforward. At this point in time, only a fool would want to take on more Spirit Jades and try to take on everything.
However, when Zheng Dongjue heard this, he felt relieved. At least, since Steward Song said this, it meant that he would really do it and not just do it half-heartedly.
After expressing his gratitude, Zheng Dongjue pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Song, I know that it is very difficult for you to plead for the young island master. However, I still have a presumptuous request. If it is convenient, can Brother Song help introduce me to the young island master? There are some words …"
Steward Song immediately revealed a displeased expression and said, "Brother Zheng, I'm only willing to risk offending the Young Island Master to help you on account of our many years of friendship. If you're thinking of going overboard, don't blame me for not helping you."
It didn't matter if he put in a good word for Zheng Dongjue in front of Li Zeyu. It wouldn't affect Steward Song's position. However, if he helped Zheng Dongjue, there was a high chance that he would get into trouble and make Li Zeyu unhappy. Of course, Steward Song wouldn't do such a thing even if he was beaten to death.
Zheng Dongjue spat harshly in his heart. He thought to himself, What kind of friendship are you looking at? I have to charge five hundred thousand spirit jades to eat some trash tea and snacks. You old thing, you are simply black from the bottom of your heart!
However, he also understood that the surname Song would definitely not help him meet Li Zeyu. No matter how much spirit jades he offered, it wouldn't be of any use. Without a choice, Zheng Dongjue could only settle for the next best thing. He cupped his fists and pleaded, "Brother Song, then please help me pass a message to the young island master. Perhaps the young island master will change after hearing it."
Steward Song calculated in his heart. This matter didn't matter, so he nodded and said, "Tell me about it first. If it isn't any bad news, I will definitely help you as a brother!"
If he had such a brother, Zheng Dongjue felt that he would be better off being a lone star …
After looking around, Zheng Dongjue apologized and approached Steward Song. He whispered in his ear, "Brother Song, actually, the person who came from our Pill Hall is Master Li Zaoyi …"
When the inaudible voice entered Steward Song's ears, his expression changed slightly. He asked solemnly, "Is what you said true?"
"It's absolutely true!" Zheng Dongjue was equally solemn. He originally wanted to do as Tong Wolsui said and persuade Li Zaoyi to come forward and ask for help.
However, he felt that there was no need to go through so much trouble now because he, Zheng Dongjue, knew a piece of information that even Tong Wolsui didn't know. He reckoned that after Li Zeyu heard it, he would definitely consider it carefully.
"Alright! I understand this matter. I will go find the young island master now. Brother Zheng, you go back first and wait for my news! "Steward Song swept away his previous lazy look, and his entire aura became sharp.
After he finished speaking, Steward Song ordered his men to close the door and reject all guests. He would not be receiving anyone today!
Zheng Dongjue hurriedly got up and cupped his fists. "In that case, I will go back and wait for Brother Song's good news! Goodbye! "
After returning, Zheng Dongjue went to look at Li Zaoyi's residence again. Whether it was to ask for her help to find someone or her information was leaked, he had to mention it subtly first. Unfortunately, Li Zaoyi still didn't return.
As for Tong Wolsui, he also didn't return. Zheng Dongjue didn't know if his matter with Hou Guanqi was successful. It had been a long time, so there should be news from him by now.
Zheng Dongjue suppressed his anxiety and paced back and forth in the room for about half an hour. After that, a Northern Army Guard rushed to him and informed him, "The young island master wants you to go there immediately!"
Zheng Dongjue was overjoyed. He knew that Steward Song had brought the message. The 1.5 million spiritual jades were worth it!
As for whether to ask or invite him over, who would care about such a trivial matter?
Zheng Dongjue followed the Northern Army Guard to the Li family's residence. He had simulated how to deal with it countless times, but he still didn't have much confidence in himself.
Suddenly, he felt a little regretful. He should have told Tong Wolsui the news before. At least, Tong Wolsui would know how to make better use of the news and how to answer Li Zeyu's questions. Unfortunately, it was too late now.
After arriving at the Li family's residence, someone naturally brought Zheng Dongjue to the living room to see Li Zeyu. After Zheng Dongjue crossed the threshold and confirmed Li Zeyu's position, he quickly lowered his head and bowed respectfully. He cupped his fists and greeted, "Zheng Dongjue greets the young island master!"
If the dignified deputy hall master of the Alchemy Division was seen bowing and scraping, the reputation of the Alchemy Division would probably be no better than being expelled from the Extreme North Island.
Steward Song stood by the side and looked down, pretending not to see Zheng Dongjue. As for Li Zeyu, he sat on the host's seat and waved his hand lazily. "There's no need for formalities. You should know why I called you here, right?"
"Thank you for your advice, young island master. I am very grateful!" Zheng Dongjue slightly straightened his body, still looking down and maintaining a humble posture.
