Chapter 465: Help from a Noble Person

The voice of the boy named Duan was not loud, but the square was unusually quiet at this time, with only the heavy breathing of some people coming.

Zuo Feng almost burst into laughter at this moment, but he still had a calm smile on his face and nodded towards the young man with that surname.

But the boy named Duan was really innocent. He ignored Zuo Feng's greetings and said anxiously: "Sister, am I right? This guy has a very thorough understanding of medicinal materials. You are one of us." You are the one who knows the most about medicinal materials in this generation, so please say something fair."

It wasn't that the woman named Duan didn't want to answer his brother's questions, but that she herself had fallen into a state of sluggishness. Her brother's anxious loud urging reached her ears, and she finally came back to reality as if she was waking up from a dream.

However, the woman named Duan did not rush to express her position. Instead, she stared at Zuo Feng up and down with strange eyes. From her complicated expression, it was impossible to tell what she was thinking at this time.

The crowd of onlookers remained quiet. Many of them were discerning people who had already seen whether Zuo Feng's answer just now was correct. But most of them were from Tushan Town. The mayor and others did not speak, and they did not dare to say too much.

At this time, Zuo Feng looked so mysterious in the eyes of the woman named Duan. He was wearing a gray-blue coarse cloth shirt on his upper body, his trousers were rolled up to his knees, and he only wore a pair of straw sandals on his feet. The young man looked like a little fisherman making a living on the river. It was simply unbelievable how such a young man from the mountains could be related to refining medicine.

The expression on the face of the young man in white clothes and holding a fan was not much better than that of the three old men. The expression of this junior sister at this time made him feel extremely inappropriate.

However, this young man was not simple either. After discovering something was wrong, he narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, then glanced sideways at the three gloomy-looking old men under the high platform.

Then he slowly walked to the stone table next to him, apparently wanting to say something to the woman named Duan. But when the woman named Duan noticed that he was approaching, she raised her hand to signal him not to say anything more.

After a moment of hesitation, he said: "This little brother's mastery of medicinal materials is unparalleled among my peers. For someone with this kind of knowledge, I am very curious about you. I don't know who your little brother is." background."

Hearing the woman named Duan ask, the three old men had a bad feeling. However, the three of them could do nothing at this time and could only quietly observe the changes in the situation.

Seeing this situation, the young man holding the fan couldn't help but said: "Junior sister, you must not forget that we are here this time and there are things that must be completed. Don't make things extraneous. The origin of this young man is unknown. It’s better that we don’t have too much contact with them and let the two mayors and the city lord’s nephew make the decision.”

The woman in white glanced at the man holding the fan with some displeasure, her dissatisfaction clearly evident. For this so-called senior brother, the relationship between ordinary junior sisters and senior brothers is not at all like that. It seems that this woman is like a senior senior sister with a higher seniority.

The beautiful woman surnamed Duan frowned slightly, and said with some dissatisfaction: "I naturally know what the master told me, and I don't think senior brother needs to worry about it. And whether this young man has other motives, can't I judge? Why? , Do you want to discipline me on behalf of my master now?"

After hearing this, the face of the young man holding the fan changed greatly, and he couldn't help but take a step back, and then said: "How could it be possible? Junior sister's affairs are naturally decided by junior sister. How dare I overstep it?"

When he said the last words, the young man holding the fan turned his head and looked towards Zuo Feng, with a strong warning in his eyes, as if he was saying.

‘Boy, please be smarter. If you dare to have any evil thoughts, I will never let you go. ’

Zuo Feng didn't seem to see the young man's expression. Instead, he turned around and clasped his fists at the woman named Duan and said: "Xia Sheng Feng is just a survivor of a small, declining village in Ganwei County. Come to Linshan County It was also a coincidence, because I didn’t know that the competition would be held in advance, so I signed up for the competition in this small town.”

Zuo Feng deliberately mentioned Ganwei County, because the only one Zuo Feng knew about the Xuanwu Empire was Xinjuncheng, so he could only choose to say that he was from Ganwei County.

In addition, Zuo Feng also considered that Ganwei County was probably the most chaotic place in the Xuanwu Empire. Even if he made up an identity, no one would verify it.

But just after Zuo Feng finished speaking, the young man holding the fan raised his eyebrows, looked up and down with unkind eyes, and then asked in a sinister tone: "Are you from Ganwei County? What city, what town?" , what village?”

When these series of questions were thrown out, Zuo Feng immediately felt something was wrong. Because there are two counties between here and Ganwei County, Zuo Feng does not think that there is any reason to embarrass him even if he meets people from Ganwei County here.

It wasn't until the young man holding the fan asked that Zuo Feng realized that he had missed a detail. Zuo Feng couldn't remember whether it was the woman named Duan or her brother who called the young man "Senior Brother Cheng" before.

It was only at this moment that Zuo Feng remembered that the famous married couple in Ganwei County, and that he now had some quarrel with the married couple. But not to mention people with the same surname, there are also people with the same name everywhere in the world. Who would have thought that this kid is also from Ganwei County.

Although Zuo Feng was a little upset in his heart, he could not see any changes on the surface, and even showed an indifferent smile.

After waiting for a while, the young man saw that Zuo Feng had not answered yet, so he was impatient to ask again.

But before the young man could speak, the woman surnamed Duan had already said: "Brother, I see that you have a good understanding of refining medicine. I think your level of refining medicine should not be low, right?"

The woman spoke, and the young man could not ask any more questions. Moreover, the woman surnamed Duan was clearly asking about Zuo Feng's situation, but anyone could hear the praise in her words.

Zuo Feng secretly said "good" in his heart, not only because the other party helped him stop the hateful young man's questioning, but also because the woman's words were also a confirmation of Zuo Feng's introduction to the medicinal materials just now.

With a relaxed heart, Zuo Feng smiled and said, "I have some knowledge and understanding of medicinal materials, and the lady's evaluation is a bit exaggerated. I am still trying to explore the aspect of refining medicine. I think you should also know that without a lot of money, you can't create an excellent alchemist."

Zuo Feng said this in a very humble manner. The woman surnamed Duan nodded slightly, and was very satisfied with Zuo Feng's answer.

Generally, she has seen many talented teenagers of Zuo Feng's age. He is not the kind of person who is arrogant and arrogant, otherwise he is like his younger brother, who is like a man without a muscle or a string in life. The boy in front of her, who looks like a fisherman on the river, is very pleasing to her eyes.

The woman surnamed Duan thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "I hope that in the next competition, my little brother can have a good performance. I will pay more attention to you."

If you don't know what it means, you will definitely think that there is a lot of friendship in this woman's words. But Zuo Feng, who is in the game, can see clearly that the woman surnamed Duan's eyes are clear and there is no impurity, and there is no emotion in them at all. His interest in himself was completely limited to his appreciation of medicine refining.

After a moment of contemplation, the woman surnamed Duan turned to look at the three old men and said slowly: "If there is anything wrong with this young brother's introduction of the four medicinal materials, please tell me clearly so that I can learn more."

Zuo Feng followed the woman surnamed Duan's gaze and looked towards the high platform. At this time, the three old men were embarrassed and blushed. The three of them looked at each other, not knowing how to answer the woman's questions.

If Zuo Feng's introduction just now was carefully recorded, it could be used in books for the training of general medicine apprentices. Not to mention the three old men, even the woman surnamed Duan and her brother did not know as much as Zuo Feng.

The young man surnamed Duan was still sitting on the stone table at this time, and his interest in Zuo Feng was no less than that of his sister. Because of excitement, his feet kept swinging in the air, and he tilted his head to look at Zuo Feng with interest.

After hearing what his sister said, he turned around and said innocently: "Yes, yes, nephew, tell me what this kid said is wrong. Some of what he just said, I don't even know. Come on and tell me."

"This, hey!"

The old man surnamed Lin, the city lord, hesitated for a long time in embarrassment, but didn't say a word. The old man hesitated for a moment, and looked at the young man surnamed Cheng with a fan with expectation. The young man immediately understood and turned his head and said: "Junior sister, why do you have to make things difficult for your own people for an outsider? My nephew must have his own plans. Let's..."

"Did I say something wrong?"

Before the young man surnamed Cheng finished speaking, the woman surnamed Duan spoke coldly. After a pause, she continued: "Then I think this little brother should be qualified to advance to the next round of the competition. Nephew Lin, do you think I am right?"

"This..."

The old man surnamed Lin wanted to answer, but found that the other two old men around him looked at him with expectation. Because the result of the first round of the selection was presided over by the mayor, if Zuo Feng was allowed to pass now, the two of them would not lose face, and it would be difficult for Tushan Town to raise its head in the future.

The young man surnamed Cheng wanted to persuade him, but when he saw that his junior sister's face was gloomy and a little scary, he swallowed back what he wanted to say.

The city lord surnamed Lin hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed and said: "This young man is indeed at a good level in mastering medicinal materials, so let him enter the next round of selection."

As soon as these words came out, noisy voices suddenly rang out in the crowd, but Zuo Feng turned a deaf ear to it and turned to walk towards the stone table that belonged to him.
