Song Zhong naturally could not be rude to such a strong person. He hurriedly cupped his fists and returned the greeting. After exchanging some pleasantries, AoTian laughed and let the three of them in. Luckily, Song Zhong had changed his clothes on the way here and no longer looked like he was beaten up by the Empress. Otherwise, he would be too embarrassed to enter such a luxurious palace.
This Pure Water Palace was indeed the residence of an ancient cultivator. Although the total area was not very big, there were many restrictions. There were flowers, birds, insects, fish and all sorts of decorations. Furthermore, most of them were made with spiritual items. The moment they entered, they could feel the dense spiritual energy. Their ears were filled with celestial music. Their eyes were filled with beautiful sceneries. Their nose was filled with the fragrance of flowers. Their feet were stepping on smooth and comfortable jade stones. Being in such a place made one feel extremely comfortable.
Song Zhong and the rest were finally led into the most luxurious hall of the Pure Water Palace by AoTian. It was a few hundred feet square and there was a huge crystal lamp above them. The four of them did not differentiate between the host and the guest. They sat around a few hundred feet apart. In front of each of them was a small jade stone table. On top of it were various fruits and there was also a pot of good wine. Although the quality of these things were not as good as the spiritual fruits on the Gold Dragon Boat, they were still high quality spiritual items. They were still good stuff.
After everyone was seated, AoTian asked about Song Zhong's background. Old Fang hurriedly introduced him and emphasized two points. One was that Song Zhong was extremely strong. He had injured a human Nascent Soul cultivator and even sparred with the Empress. Of course, in order to make Song Zhong look good, Old Fang did not mention how badly Song Zhong was beaten up. He only mentioned how the Empress praised Song Zhong.
As for the other point, it was that the Empress had conferred Song Zhong as the Crown Prince and had decided to give the Pure Water Palace to him. It would become the Crown Prince Palace in the future.
When he heard the first point, AoTian exclaimed in admiration. After hearing the last part, as Old Fang had expected, AoTian was not surprised at all and did not show any anger. Instead, he laughed loudly and said, "Of course, of course. Speaking of which, other than His Highness the Crown Prince, no one else in the Pure Water Palace is worthy of her!"
Seeing him like this, Song Zhong would be lying if he said that he wasn't moved. After all, this was a place that others had rented. It wasn't very kind of you to chase them away as soon as you arrived. Therefore, Song Zhong cupped his fists in an extremely polite manner and said, "I'm really sorry. I've occupied this place the moment I arrived and made you spend a lot of money. But don't worry, I'll pay for the cost of renting this place. I guarantee you won't suffer a loss! "
"Eh!" When AoTian heard this, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Your Highness is wrong, how can I let you spend money? Although I, AoTian, am a poor old man, I can still take out such a small thing! "
"This ~" When Song Zhong saw that AoTian was so polite, he didn't know what to say.
However, AoTian did not give him a chance to continue and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, you coming here is already giving me face. If you give me more things, wouldn't that be slapping my face? In the future, when I meet the brothers of the Black Tortoise lineage, I won't have the face to meet them. Can you spare me? "
Hearing AoTian say this, Song Zhong naturally couldn't refuse anymore. He could only smile bitterly and said, "Alright, since that's the case, I'll accept it. If there's a chance in the future, I'll definitely repay you! "
AoTian was waiting for these words. Although those things were valuable, no matter how valuable they were, they couldn't be compared to a favor from a future expert!
However, although AoTian thought so, he still said generously, "Your Highness is too polite, too polite! Isn't it just a small thing? Please don't take it to heart! Come, come, come, drink, drink! "AoTian took the initiative to toast Song Zhong and the others.
Song Zhong and the other two naturally did not dare to be negligent. They quickly raised their wine cups and drank it.
After drinking this cup of wine, AoTian's small eyes turned and suddenly asked, "Your Highness came in a hurry, did you bring any guards?"
"Guards?" When Song Zhong heard this, he immediately smiled bitterly and said, "This, I haven't yet!"
"Aiyaya!" When AoTian heard this, he immediately slapped his thigh and shouted, "With your status, how can you not have any guards to serve you?"
"This ~" Song Zhong was shocked by his sudden shout and didn't know what to say.
AoTian rubbed his hands and said with an expectant face, "Your Highness, what do you think of this old man? If you don't mind, let this old man be your housekeeper and guard? "
"Ah?" When Song Zhong heard this, he was immediately stunned. He then smiled bitterly and said, "You, you are a level 6 senior and you want to be my housekeeper. This, what is this called?"
"This is very normal! You are the Black Tortoise with the River Diagram! Not to mention a level 6 housekeeper, even a level 7 or 8 housekeeper is normal! Could it be that you look down on this old man? "AoTian then said to Old Fang anxiously," Old Fang, why don't you help me say something? "
When Old Fang heard this, he revealed an envious and bitter smile. He then shook his head and said to Song Zhong, "Your Highness, Old Brother Ao is an honest, loyal and reliable person. He also does things meticulously. Since you don't have anyone to serve you, just accept him!"
When Lei Shan 'er saw this, she also hurriedly said, "Your Highness, Uncle Ao is a good person. He often takes care of Shan' er. Just accept him! He is definitely a loyal and reliable person! "
When Song Zhong heard this, he could not help but feel strange in his heart. Why did their tone make it seem like being his housekeeper was a very glorious job?
Actually, what Song Zhong did not know was that this was a very good job. One must know that although AoTian was level 6, this was also his limit. The chances of him rising to level 7 was not more than 10%. As for level 8, without a miracle, don't even think about it.
However, if he were to hug onto Song Zhong's thigh, it would be different. With the potential of the River Diagram Seedlings, within ten thousand years, Song Zhong would definitely be able to reach level 9 and above. At that time, he would be able to obtain countless treasures from other realms. Any random reward would be enough to allow AoTian to be reborn. At the very least, reaching level 7 would not be a problem. Reaching level 8 would not be impossible. This was his only chance.
Although ten thousand years was a long time, as a Xuan Turtle, his long lifespan was a huge advantage. Even the most common tortoise could live for hundreds of years. For someone like AoTian who had cultivated successfully, it was not impossible for him to live for tens of thousands of years. Right now, he was only seven or eight thousand years old. Waiting for another ten thousand years was nothing.
It was also because Song Zhong was young and not strong. Furthermore, there were no elders around to take care of him. Only then did AoTian have the chance to hug onto his thigh. If he were to wait for him to reach level 7 or 8, AoTian who had an impure bloodline and low potential, even if he were to take the initiative to ask for help, the other party would not even spare him a glance.
AoTian was indeed an old fellow who had lived for a few thousand years. His thoughts were meticulous and he considered the long term. Thus, he took the chance to lower his status and become Song Zhong's butler. As for being a guard, forget about it. Right now, he could still barely fight. However, when Song Zhong reaches level 7 or 8, he would be facing experts. His old bones would not be able to withstand the torment. But being a butler was different. He would be close to his master and have a good relationship with him. If there were benefits, he would be the first to think about it. It was an absolutely good job!
Although Song Zhong did not understand the reasoning behind it, he was certain that AoTian was truly sincere in seeking refuge. Furthermore, Old Fang and Lei Shan 'er also sincerely hoped that he could accept him. Since that was the case, why would Song Zhong want to be the bad guy? Anyway, with a peak level 6 old fellow as his butler, he would not be at a disadvantage no matter how he looked at it.
Thinking about this, Song Zhong did not know whether to laugh or cry. "If senior is truly willing, then I will shamelessly agree?"
"Aiyaya, that's great!" AoTian was overjoyed when he heard this. He quickly flew to the front of Song Zhong and knelt on the ground. He shouted: "Old servant AoTian greets master!"
"Get up, get up!" Song Zhong quickly helped him up and said with a bitter smile: "Don't call me master, it sounds awkward. Just call me, call me young master!"
"But young master is a vulgar thing. If you do not like to be called master, then just call me your highness!" AoTian quickly said: "Anyway, you are the crown prince of the East Sea Empire!"
"Alright, alright, do as you wish!" Song Zhong waved his hand and said.
"Congratulations, congratulations!" Old Fang came over to congratulate AoTian. After all, to be able to become the butler of an Emperor bloodline, one's future is definitely limitless. If not for the fact that Old Fang is already following the Empress, he would have snatched AoTian's position.
AoTian is clearly in a good mood as he said with a smile: "Same to you, same to you! Come, come, come, everyone take a seat and continue drinking! "
This time, Song Zhong was forcefully pushed to the main seat by AoTian. Old Fang and Shan 'er sat at the guest seats while AoTian sat at the bottom.
They drank a few more glasses of wine. Song Zhong suddenly put down his wine cup and said: "Old Ao, may I ask, where did the magic tool fragments outside the Pure Water Palace come from?"
"That ah!" AoTian immediately smiled apologetically and said: "My children and grandchildren gave them to me on my birthday, saying that it would add to the festivities. Why, does your highness feel that it is not good? If that is the case, I will ask them to take it away! "
Song Zhong waved his hand and said: "I have great use for these fragments, I wonder if you can give them to me?"
"Aiya, what is your highness saying? The entire Pure Water Palace, including this old servant, is yours. You can just take those fragments, there is no need to tell this old servant! "AoTian hurriedly said.
"Hehe!" Song Zhong smiled and said: "It is better to say hello! Also, these fragments are not enough, I wonder if there are more? "
"Of course there are!" AoTian heard and immediately laughed: "These things are the spoils of war left behind from the battles with the human cultivators of the Eastern Ocean Alliance. Because they are shiny and rich in Spiritual Qi, all of them were collected by the children to play with. We have been fighting with the Eastern Ocean Alliance for thousands of years, who knows how many of these things there are! If you want them, just say the word!
