When they gathered, they usually talked about zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Occasionally, they would talk about their experiences in cultivation.
This time, Chen Pingan left first after the banquet and had Steward Chen send them off.
Dongfang Bai and Nangong Cang pretended to have a stomachache and ran to the outhouse.
When they reappeared, they were at the door of the alchemy room. They whispered, "Alchemist Xiao, I am Dongfang Bai, and Nangong Cang request an audience."
Not long after, the door of the alchemy room slowly opened, and Xiao Yang walked out.
Behind Xiao Yang, Xiao Ling`er and Lin Shiyun were also following.
"May I know why Young Master Dongfang and Young Master Nangong are looking for me?"
Xiao Yang asked calmly.
Dongfang Bai and Nangong Cang knew that Xiao Yang's alchemy skills were amazing, so they didn't dare to slight him. Their expressions were extremely respectful.
During this period of time, they had come to visit Chen Pingan several times, and they had long known that the pills used by those warriors were all refined by Xiao Yang. Their admiration for Xiao Yang was like the endless waters of the Yangtze River.
This was why they wanted to secretly visit Xiao Yang. Of course, they also wanted to recruit Xiao Yang. Even if they couldn't recruit him, they could at least establish a good relationship with Xiao Yang. It would be good for them to cooperate.
Dongfang Bai said, "Alchemist Xiao is fortunate to be able to follow Young Master Chen. If Alchemist Xiao can also hold a nominal position in the Dongfang Clan, my Dongfang Clan will definitely worship you and give you rewards you can't imagine."
Nangong Cang said, "My Nangong Clan and the Whale Gang also need Alchemist Xiao's nominal position. Alchemist Xiao only needs to hold a nominal position. You don't have to do anything. We will offer Alchemist Xiao a considerable amount of cultivation resources every month. What do you think?"
Xiao Yang immediately understood. These two were representing the forces behind them to rope him in.
Xiao Yang didn't even think about it and directly refused.
He said, "I don't lack cultivation resources at the moment, and Young Master Chen's rewards are also quite generous. So, I appreciate your good intentions."
This was a tactful refusal.
As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling person.
Xiao Yang only supported Chen Pingan because he wanted to use Chen Pingan to achieve his goal of entering planet Suzaku. How could he be willing to submit to someone else?
Besides, local forces like the Nangong Family and Dongfang Bai could not compare to the Chen Pingan Family.
Any sensible person would know how to choose.
Dongfang Bai and Nangong Cang's expressions were somewhat ugly. They did not expect that such a good thing would actually be rejected by Xiao Yang.
One must know that it was just a title, and there was no need for him to do anything. It was equivalent to freeloading.
Wasn't this looking down on them?
Dongfang Bai also stopped smiling, and his expression turned cold. He said coldly, "Alchemist Xiao, I hope you can consider this carefully. After all, this kind of good thing doesn't happen often."
Nangong Cang also snorted coldly. His attitude suddenly became cold, and he said, "Alchemist Xiao, we are only doing this because we want to get closer to Young Master Chen. Your status is indeed not important. Don't be so shameless."
Xiao Yang was amused.
As it turned out, this was their plan.
It must be known that Xiao Yang was very favored recently. He often received Chen Pingan's summons and encouragement. Chen Pingan also thought highly of Xiao Yang.
If Chen Pingan knew that Xiao Yang held a position in the Dongfang Family, Nangong Family, Whale Gang, and other forces, then Chen Pingan would definitely view these three forces differently.
It had to be said that Dongfang Bai and Nangong Cang's plan was quite astute.
Xiao Yang knew that they were this kind of fickle and despicable people.
When they knew that you had value, they would curry favor with you in every way possible. When they knew that you had no value, they would casually dump you.
Xiao Yang had always hated this kind of people, not to mention befriending them.
Xiao Yang said, "Since this kind of good thing doesn't happen often, then you should find someone else. Besides, I'm not that important, so why did you come looking for me? Goodbye, I won't send you off. "
After saying this, Xiao Yang ignored them.
He directly turned around and was about to walk back to the pill refining room.
Dongfang Bai and Nangong Cang had braved the taboo to see Xiao Yang, which could be considered giving Xiao Yang a lot of face. They didn't expect that Xiao Yang would give them the cold shoulder.
This made their expressions extremely ugly, and killing intent surged in their eyes.
"Xiao Yang, you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. You'll regret it one day. Now, we'll give you one last chance. Agree to our conditions, otherwise, you'll know how terrifying the Dongfang Family, Nangong Family, and Whale Gang are."
Dongfang Bai and Nangong Cang's pleas immediately turned into threats when they failed.
In this place, they were like the emperor of heaven. Their words carried enormous weight, and they did whatever they wanted.
There were many ways to deal with Xiao Yang.
Xiao Yang had never been afraid of threats. After hearing their threats, he sneered, and said, "Dongfang Bai, Nangong Cang, this is your way of inviting people? Very well, bring it on. I'll wait for you. "
Xiao Yang was also angry.
He had just destroyed the Divine Fist Sect, and now the Whale Gang, Dongfang Family, and Nangong Family came knocking on his door.
Xiao Yang didn't mind taking care of them, and let Chen Dayu of the Irontooth Gang take over.
The scene of their quarrel fell into the eyes of Steward Chen and Chen Pingan, who were not far away.
Chen Pingan signaled Steward Chen with a glance.
Steward Chen hurried forward and greeted Dongfang Bai and Nangong Cang. He said with a smile, "Oh, Young Master Dongfang, Young Master Nangong, didn't you have a stomachache? The washroom isn't here. By the way, my young master is tired. He said that you're welcome to visit again next time, and we can exchange cultivation experiences and insights. "
This was a clear attempt to drive them away.
Dongfang Bai and Nangong Cang still needed to curry favor with Chen Pingan, and that was the wish of the family forces behind them.
Therefore, they couldn't fall out with him.
Dongfang Bai said with a smile, "Steward Chen, I'm really sorry. We were rude. I couldn't find your washroom just now, so I came here by accident. I'll go back now, and I'll visit again next time."
Nangong Cang also said with a smile, "Steward Chen, I've made you worry. It's rare for you to receive good food and drink, and now I've caused trouble for you. I'm very sorry. I'll go back first, and I won't trouble you."
Steward Chen sent them off, and said with a smile, "Young Master Dongfang, Young Master Nangong, don't say that. Our Young Master Chen is also very happy to be friends with you. You can treat this place as your own home, and you're welcome to visit again next time."
Steward Chen didn't go back until he saw the two of them out of the courtyard.
He patted his chest and sighed in relief.
One had to know that it was fortunate that he found out early. Otherwise, these two fellows might have stolen him away.
At present, Xiao Yang was very useful, no less than this group of warriors. If they lost Xiao Yang, they would lose a third of their combat strength. Chen Pingan would die of heartache.
