Chapter 191 Master and Disciple Meet

In a remote corner, Xiao Zhen threw the wretched young man out and he hit the wall of the alley directly.

"You...what do you want to do? Do you want to steal the book? I tell you, no way!" The wretched young man felt a pain in his back and said through gritted teeth.

Xiao Zhen's face was gloomy. He pointed at his handsome face and sneered, "You are selling books here, and this kind of books. Don't you know who I am?"

The wretched young man was stunned and shook his head subconsciously. How could he know who this guy was? After all, there were millions of people in the imperial capital, and he had rarely seen even the emperor.

Xiao Zhen snatched a book from the wretched young man's arms and flipped through a few pages carefully. As expected, the male protagonist was himself.

Xiao Zhen pointed at the name of the protagonist in the book and said in a cold voice: "That's my name. Open your eyes and see clearly. Xiao Zhen is the second young master of the Xiao family. It's me!"

The wretched young man finally lost his courage and immediately swallowed the dirty words he was about to utter.

He must have not checked the date when he went out today, and he was selling a little book, and he actually sold it to the original protagonist.

"Master Xiao...Master Xiao Zhen, I think this is a misunderstanding. Can you listen to my explanation?" The wretched young man smiled awkwardly. The sweat on his face was enough to wash his face thoroughly.

There was no anger on Xiao Zhen's face at this moment, but instead he was smiling, but his smile was a little scary.

A long sword was placed on the wretched young man's neck, and Xiao Zhen said calmly: "You speak, I listen. If you are not satisfied, then the Imperial Capital Patrol Team may have to collect one more body today."

The wretched young man swallowed a mouthful of saliva with a gulp. The long sword on his neck was clearly emitting the temperature of fire, but he felt as if snowing in the air and his back was cold.

The wretched young man became more and more afraid the more he thought about it. He knelt on the ground spinelessly and begged, "Master Xiao Zhen, please spare my life! I just sell a few books to make a living. Those books were not written by me!"

Xiao Zhen thought about it carefully and realized that this guy was right. He was not a bloodthirsty person. After all, the focus of the problem still lay with the author.

If we don't deal with the author, a few more people will pop up in a few days to promote the product, which will be completely useless.

"Stand up and tell me who wrote the book. If you tell me the truth, I promise to spare your life!" Xiao Zhen said seriously.

When the wretched young man heard that he had saved his life, he kowtowed several times and confessed everything at once. He did not dare to hide anything. After all, there were many people who lost their lives by offending the children of big families.

Xiao Zhen quietly passed a few words to the servants around the carriage, and immediately several fighting masters came over. They were also Xiao Yan's bodyguards, the same guys from yesterday.

Xiao Yan looked at the servants and said seriously, "You guys take this guy and go catch the writer. If you do it well, I will reward you handsomely. But if you mess up, you will suffer!"

Xiao Dazhuang and his brothers nodded quickly. They didn't dare to offend Xiao Zhen. If they didn't handle this well, they might be kicked out of the Xiao family, and then they would really become dogs that have lost their home.

After Xiao Zhen finished giving the instructions, he brought the little guy Xiao Yan into the Alchemist Guild. Looking at the familiar decorations around him, Xiao Zhen's eyes showed a look of reminiscence.

This was also the first time Xiao Yan came here. Seeing so many usually distinguished alchemists, it was like a vegetable market.

Xiao Zhen came to the bar on the first floor, looked at the mature young lady, and said with a smile: "This beauty looks unfamiliar. Where is the old man from before? Why is he gone? When did he get a replacement?"

The beauty was also transferred from other cities, mainly because of her good performance. She had heard of Xiao Zhen, but had never seen him in person, and she didn't know that the person in front of her was the president's disciple.

Xiao Zhen was not wearing the alchemist's robe now, but was dressed like a rich young man. From his words, it seemed that the beautiful woman had regarded her as a pretentious child of some family.

"I'm sorry, young master. The old man was dismissed from all his positions by the president because of his bad character. He has been thrown into the prison in the imperial capital!" said the beauty lightly.

Xiao Zhen shook his head and smiled. Things have really changed. The old man had been blackmailing for so long, but in the end he was caught.

After chatting for a while, Xiao Zhen called out to Xiao Yan behind him and walked towards the stairs.

The beauty looked at Xiao Zhen's receding back and didn't care. If he was an alchemist, even if he was just a first-grade alchemist, she would be interested. As for a rich young man, forget it!

Xiao Zhen walked to the door of the president's office. After he took out his ID card, two Douling guards immediately let him in respectfully.

After Xiao Zhen walked into the office, he saw the old man drinking tea leisurely inside and joked, "After three years, the teacher is still so energetic. I really admire him!"

Xiao Yan just took a look at the legendary president of the Alchemist Guild and found that he did not seem to have the aura of a big shot at all. He looked like an ordinary retired old man.

After taking a sip of tea, Fa Ma put down the teacup and said with a smile: "You have been gone for three years and didn't even reply to a letter. Your father and I thought you had met with an accident and were ready to build a tomb for you."

Xiao Zhen's eyelids twitched. Why didn't he realize that this old man was so sinister before? Could it be that the way he pushed the door just now was wrong?

Xiao Zhen took a look at the mature big sister Fa Ma, who was quite charming and seemed to be the new assistant.

"I've only been gone for three years, teacher, and you've already changed your assistant, and you've found such a beautiful older sister!" Xiao Zhen couldn't help but tease her a few times.

Fa Ma was not angry. He was quite good at keeping fit. He just said calmly, "There is no other way. Qi Mier was successfully promoted to a fifth-rank alchemist the year before last. It would be inappropriate for him to be my assistant!"

"Oh!" Xiao Zhen was a little surprised. It was within his expectation that Qiemi would become a fifth-grade alchemist, but it was a little faster than he imagined.

Xiao Zhen asked curiously, "Where is Uncle Chemiel now? I haven't seen him for a while, I miss him so much!"

Fa Ma stroked his long white beard, looked at the window through which the sun shone, and sighed, "Qie Mier is in the palace now. In addition to being the vice president of the Alchemist Guild, he is also the chief alchemist of the royal family.

In this way, the relationship between the Alchemist Guild and the royal family will become closer. I don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing?”

Xiao Zhen was not surprised at all that Uncle Chemiel had joined the royal family. Judging from the content of the original novel, Uncle Chemiel had a special relationship with the royal family.

For example, from the time Xiao Zhen spent with Uncle Chemir, he discovered that he yearned for the royal family.

Xiao Zhen walked to the desk, sat down on the chair next to it, and said casually: "These are not big problems, just take it one step at a time. After all, everyone has their own aspirations, and some things can't be forced!"

Fa Ma also nodded with satisfaction. He had never taken these things to heart. After all, there was not much conflict between the Alchemist Guild and the royal family. But he did not expect that Xiao Zhen, a young man, could see things so thoroughly.
