Chapter 1901
From the moment they met, Zhang Naichao didn't take Ye Xiao seriously. He just regarded him as a young man who wanted to get close to him through Wu Shouzhuo.
Now even Wu Shouzhuo didn't dare to be so presumptuous to him. The young man in front of him actually questioned him fearlessly. Did he really think that he, Zhang Naichao, was a small character?
After that, Zhang Naichao turned his eyes to Wu Shouzhuo again and said in a cold voice: "Mr. Wu, it is already very rare for me to come to the appointment today."
"I thought you were sincere in seeking the Tao, but I didn't expect that you would bring such a young man who didn't know the importance of the matter and looked down on others to smack me."
"Does Mr. Wu think that I, Zhang Naichao, am a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by others?"
Hearing Zhang Naichao's words, Ye Xiao's face suddenly turned cold, and his fists placed under the table clenched instantly. If it were in the past, with Ye Xiao's determination, he would definitely not be angered by a few words.
But Zhang Naichao not only looked down on Ye Xiao, but also acquiesced to Gao Qimei's actions, which he could not tolerate.
After noticing Ye Xiao's anger, in order to prevent the situation from becoming more tense, Wu Shouzhuo winked at Ye Xiao and said, "Master Zhang, don't mind. My friend is a quick-witted person and he has no intention of looking down on you."
"However, I believe most people can see what Gao Qimei is trying to do. This is not only detrimental to the election of my Wu and Gu families, but also hurts the feelings between Penglai and the inland areas to a large extent."
"In my opinion, this is also inconsistent with the original intention of the previous Heavenly Master to hold the Grand Consecration Ceremony."
"Master Zhang, now you know my purpose. If you can find a way to let us meet with the Heavenly Master, you can propose any conditions."
Although Wu Shouzhuo was also very unhappy with Zhang Naichao like Ye Xiao, his relatively peaceful personality made him calmer than Ye Xiao.
From the fact that Zhang Naichao accepted the ancient painting he had given him, Wu Shouzhuo knew that the matter had not yet reached the point where it could not be discussed at all.
After Wu Shouzhuo finished speaking, Zhang Naichao laughed, "Mr. Wu, you are still sensible."
"I suggest that you should avoid dealing with people who don't know the rules in the future. Such people are not worthy of your support. Maybe one day, you will be implicated by him!"
After mocking Wu Shouzhuo and Ye Xiao, Zhang Naichao changed the subject and continued, "Mr. Wu, since your attitude is so sincere, I can convey your meaning to the Heavenly Master."
"Some time ago, the Heavenly Master mentioned to me that he wanted to use lightning-struck jujube wood to make a magic weapon. If Mr. Wu can find it, I think the Heavenly Master should take the time to meet you."
"Lightning-struck jujube wood?"
Hearing this, Wu Shouzhuo raised his eyebrows. He was obsessed with collecting and knew a little about Taoist objects. Naturally, he knew what this lightning-struck jujube wood was.
It is one of the best materials for making magic tools. It usually refers to the jujube tree that has been struck by lightning. In the eyes of Taoists, this kind of wood carries certain energy, which can be used to cast spells with half the effort.
However, this lightning-struck jujube wood is very difficult to find, and there are only a few magic tools in existence. It is almost impossible for him to find a piece of lightning-struck jujube wood in a short period of time. Even if he finds it, the cost is an astronomical figure.
Ye Xiao's eyes slowly narrowed. Zhang Naichao was obviously deliberately making things difficult!
"Master Zhang, I would like to ask, if we find the lightning-struck wood, can you guarantee that we can see the Heavenly Master?" Wu Shouzhuo took a sip of tea and asked indifferently.
Although lightning-struck jujube wood is difficult to find, it is not without any chance. If this lightning-struck jujube wood is really what the Heavenly Master likes, then relying on this gift, persuading the Heavenly Master will definitely be more confident. It is not that he cannot mobilize his connections to find it.
Zhang Naichao grinned and responded: "Mr. Wu, to be honest, in order to prepare for this consecration meeting, the Heavenly Master has been busy refining the Dragon and Tiger Pill these days. I can only try to persuade the Heavenly Master."
"As for whether the Heavenly Master will agree to meet, I can't be sure."
Hearing this, Ye Xiao couldn't help but sneer: "So, even if you accept the lightning-struck jujube wood, you don't have to help at all."
Zhang Naichao glanced at Ye Xiao with disdain, and then retracted his gaze, as if he felt that Ye Xiao was not worth his attention, and did not respond to this.
Although Zhang Naichao did not answer, both Ye Xiao and Wu Shouzhuo saw Zhang Naichao's thoughts at this time, and he simply did not want to help in this matter.
The so-called lightning-struck jujube wood is just an excuse.
"Mr. Wu, thank you for your painting. I will ask my disciples to send the talisman to your house another day. I have something else to do. Let's say goodbye today."Let's go!"
As he spoke, Zhang Naichao stood up nonchalantly, rolled up the painting as expected, and held it in his hand.
At this time, even Wu Shouzhuo couldn't control himself, and his face was full of anger, but he still held it back and stood up to see him off.
Wu Shouzhuo did this to prevent Ye Xiao from doing irrational things in anger.
Martial artists should not be insulted lightly.
What's more, Ye Xiao is a martial artist who has reached the peak of martial arts. If such a person does something to Zhang Naichao, the consequences will be disastrous. It was unthinkable.
However, Wu Shouzhuo's worry was obviously unnecessary. If Ye Xiao intended to use force against Zhang Naichao, he would have done it just now. Why would he wait until now?
But Ye Xiao did not intend to teach Zhang Naichao a lesson with force. Physical punishment alone was not enough for such a person.
However, just when Wu Shouzhuo thought that this meeting would end in such a way, suddenly, the door of the box opened and a voice came in.
"Master Zhang, we have already served the wine and food, and we are waiting for you. "
Hearing this voice, Ye Xiao and Wu Shouzhuo both frowned, and their faces became gloomy again.
Not only because Zhang Naichao was in the restaurant at the same time and had an appointment with other people, but also because the two heard that the person who was talking was Gao Qimei's secretary Cai Wenyin.
This must not be a coincidence, but Zhang Naichao and Cai Wenyin did it on purpose.
It was not only Cai Wenyin's way of demonstrating to Wu Shouzhuo, but also Zhang Naichao's way of slapping Wu Shouzhuo in the face.
After receiving the ancient painting, he still had to do this. Zhang Naichao can be said to have sinister intentions!
This also shows that Zhang Naichao is probably not just bribed by Cai Wenyin with benefits. It is very likely that he supports Gao Qimei's faction.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Wu? Taoist Zhang said that he had a friend here today who wanted to meet him temporarily. I didn't know it was you, Mr. Wu!"
"How about Mr. Wu move to our side and have a drink? "
Cai Wenyin pretended to be surprised and said to Wu Shouzhuo, but the contemptuous smile on his lips showed his disdain for Wu Shouzhuo vividly.
