Chapter 1488: Fish of Tile Shadow

The news that Luo Fengmo was furious with Zhou Yiqiao spread quickly. Even when Zhou Yiqiao was on his way back to the alchemy room, he already felt that the monks passing by were intentionally or unintentionally keeping a distance from him.

Fortunately, he liked to be alone and didn't care about it. Instead, he took advantage of this free time without being disturbed to think about his next move.

"This Luo Fengmo, Zhao Qianli, and Old Dog Ouyang are all birds of a feather!"

"This so-called Origin Realm War is probably not as difficult as they exaggerate. The reason they have been keeping their troops in place is just to ask for a higher reward from Tiansheng City."

"And I am just a pawn they use to express their attitude to Luo Lishang and Tiansheng City."

Zhou Yiqiao frowned, realizing that he must find a strong backer as soon as possible in order to survive safely on this front line.

If you want to find a backer, you must first prove your own value.

Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration suddenly came to Zhou Yiqiao's mind.

"Right now, the only person on the front line who can suppress Luo Fengmo should be that old dog Ouyang."

"If I want to guarantee my own safety for the time being, I have to demonstrate my worth in front of this old dog."

"That old dog keeps urging me to research light-coagulating agents for him. Perhaps this is a breakthrough."

His brows relaxed slightly and he quickened his pace towards the alchemy room.

Arriving at the alchemy room, as soon as Zhou Yiqiao opened the door, he saw Ouyang Guangming sitting on a chair in the room, looking at him with a smile.

Zhou Yiqiao's heart trembled, and he immediately realized that the old dog in front of him should already know what he had done.

"Young friend Zhou is so bold that he actually dared to attack the offspring of a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Revenue."

There was a hint of teasing in Ouyang Guangming's tone, but there was a gleam of brilliance in his eyes.

Zhou Yiqiao smiled slightly, still looking respectful as usual.

"Senior, you are too kind. Zhao Qianli was very aggressive, and I was just trying to protect myself as a last resort."

Ouyang Guangming nodded, without comment, and continued.

"I have no right to interfere with what Mr. Zhou does. I just want to know, since you have solved Zhao Qianli's problem, when will you start helping me develop the light-condensing agent?"

The old man's eyes were scorching, as if he had Zhou Yiqiao in his grasp.

Zhou Yiqiao also knew that the other party must have thought the same as he did and understood that he could only rely on him, Ouyang Guangming, to continue to survive on the front line.

So he didn't refuse anymore and nodded directly.

"Since the senior has given the order, I naturally dare not disobey!"

After hearing this, Ouyang Guangming finally showed a satisfied smile on his face.

"Good! Young friend Zhou really knows how to deal with the current situation! I knew you would not let me down."

He stood up, walked to Zhou Yiqiao and patted him on the shoulder.

"The light-condensing agent is of great importance. During the time that Mr. Zhou is developing this drug, I will provide you with all the necessary assistance and will also protect you from all troubles."

Zhou Yiqiao secretly thought it was hypocritical, but his face showed a look of gratitude, and he saluted towards Ouyang Guangming again.

"Thank you for your support, Senior. I will definitely complete the research on the light-condensing agent as soon as possible so that the soldiers on the front line can use it as soon as possible."

After some pretense, Ouyang Guangming finally left the alchemy room.

Zhou Yiqiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had temporarily saved his life.
