Liu Tai was driven away with a dark face. Before leaving, he glared at Ning Zhishui fiercely, obviously thinking that his embarrassment today was caused by her.
Ning Zhishui didn't even look at him again.
President Meng was very interested in Ning Zhishui and asked her name. Ning Zhishui only said her name was Ning Shui and did not mention the Xianlai Sect.
The name "Ning Zhishui" is too famous. Ning Zhishui doesn't want people to directly associate her with the Xianlai Sect. If she does that, she will have to consider her positive image more when she starts a rebellion, which will inevitably restrict her hands and feet.
She was not afraid that others would guess that she was Ning Zhishui, but her public identity could not be the three words Ning Zhishui.
Just give me a pseudonym for the sake of convenience.
"What level of alchemist are you, Miss Ning?" President Meng asked her.
When he was talking to Ning Zhishui, the Dou family members were cautiously accompanying him and did not dare to interrupt.
Ning Zhishui shook his head, "I haven't taken the exam, so I don't know the grade."
Guild President Meng's eyes lit up. "Is that so? How about you come with me to the guild and I'll personally assess you?"
A person who can refine new elixirs must be very powerful.
Such a person is worth making friends with.
"This..." Ning Zhishui hesitated.
It doesn’t seem to matter whether she takes the exam or not. If she wants to take the exam, she can also take it at the Xianlai Sect.
"With me here, if you pass the assessment, I guarantee your badge will be issued as quickly as possible. And, Little Ning, you can come to our alchemy club to get acquainted with the area. We have a lot of medicinal herbs that can be used internally for free, as well as training rooms and alchemy rooms. We also hold alchemy exchange meetings on certain days."
President Meng listed a lot of advantages and was determined to convince Ning Zhishui.
A genius of this age, who seems to have no family background, would be a fool if he didn't win him over.
As long as Ning Zhishui is willing to get close to their Luoyu City Alchemy Association, if she has any great achievements in the future, they will naturally be attributed to the Luoyu City Alchemy Association. This is a matter of mutual benefit.
Ning Zhishui thought about it and agreed, "Okay, let's do it tomorrow."
President Meng decided to quit while he was ahead. He exchanged notes with Ning Zhishui, made an appointment for tomorrow, and then stood up to say goodbye.
He knew that Ning Zhishui still had something to say to the Dou family, and he couldn't be so tactless as to pull her aside to talk to him.
If not for this, President Meng would have brought Ning Zhishui to the guild today and would not have waited until tomorrow.
Seeing President Meng leave, Dou Lin looked at his daughter and Hou Lei.
He sighed, "Xiaoying, your mother and I were too stubborn before. We opposed it for your own good. But if you think being with Hou Lei is the best, your mother and I won't stop you anymore."
Compared to my daughter's life, nothing else is that important.
Moreover, after this incident, they also understood Hou Lei's character. He was truly devoted to his daughter, not for the Dou family's family background.
Of course, the most important point is -
The whole city knows about Dou Ying and Hou Lei. What's the point of opposing it now?
It would be better to help them, which would also give them a good reputation and prevent the Dou family from becoming a complete joke in the eyes of others.
Dou Ying was stunned, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.
She looked at Hou Lei and found that Hou Lei was also surprised, but then he looked at her excitedly.
"Really? Thanks, Dad!"
Dou Ying wanted to cry again, and only then did she dare to hold Hou Lei's hand.
"It seems I can drink at Miss Dou's wedding." Ning Zhishui said with a smile.
She had a good impression of Hou Lei. The man looked very determined, and he really did it for Dou Ying's own good.
Maybe his financial conditions are not enough to match, but he has a pure heart.
Moreover, when Ning Zhishui saw him holding the sword just now, he actually looked a bit like Huai Xiao, a disciple of Xianlai Sect!
Huai Xiao is a recognized genius. Even if you are half like Huai Xiao, your future will not be too bad.
Hou Lei was born in a low-class family and was mute, but he had some accomplishments in swordsmanship. If the Dou family trained him well, he would surely achieve great things.
"Don't worry, Miss Ning. I will definitely invite you to come over for a drink at the wedding." Mrs. Dou said with a smile.
Seeing her daughter happy, she felt very relieved.
Ning Zhishui glanced at Hou Lei a few more times and said, "Come here, I'll take your pulse."
Hou Lei was stunned for a moment, then he stepped forward and obediently stretched out his wrist.
Mr. Dou uttered an "ah" and asked Ning Zhishui, "Why are you taking his pulse? He's fine now. He just needs to rest in bed for a few days."
Ning Zhishui frowned, "Were you poisoned and made mute?"
Her expression was extremely strange.
Is this someone possessed? Why is another person poisoned?!
Hou Lei shook his head and gestured with his hand.
Miss Dou's heart trembled as she hurriedly explained, "Brother Lei has been mute since childhood. He has no recollection of why he became mute. There are no elders left in his family, so I'm afraid there's no one to ask... Master, can you cure Brother Lei's muteness?"
The Dou family couple couldn't help but look at each other, "Can Hou Lei's muteness be cured?"
To be honest, the reason why they were so resistant to Hou Lei was that the shortcoming they cared about most was not his family background, but his muteness.
How could the daughter of the Dou family marry a mute!
Because of this, all the famous and prestigious families they were on good terms with laughed at them behind their backs.
Although the Dou family has now accepted Hou Lei and no longer opposes their relationship, it would be better if Hou Lei could recover as usual!
"It can be cured, and it's even easier than Miss Dou's case." Ning Zhishui nodded. "I can make a pill and cure it, or you can ask another alchemist to take a look, they should be able to solve it too."
It is not certain whether the yellow level can be cured, but the black level should be no problem.
Since the Dou family has a familiar Xuan-level alchemist, Hou Lei’s problem should be easily solved.
Well, except for that old man Liu just now, Ning Zhishui felt that his Xuan level was probably a bit exaggerated and unreliable.
But apart from these people, there is also President Meng, so it’s not a big problem.
But the Dou family couple spoke out at the same time:
"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Ning. The remuneration can be discussed."
Just like Ning Zhishui thought, they recognized Liu Tai, but did not trust his level.
The strength of the Huang level is too low, and the Xuan level alchemist that he is familiar with is not in Luoyu City. President Meng can do it, but why should he go far away?
It’s definitely a good idea to make friends with Ning Zhishui!
Ning Zhishui nodded, "Alright, then leave it to me."
The Dou family members breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
After Dou Lin finished laughing, he realized something, "Madam, you are all tired, go down and rest first."
Mrs. Dou agreed and left with the younger generations, leaving the front hall to Dou Lin and Ning Zhishui.
