Mu Hanyan then realized that Zhao Sining's uncle was such a powerful figure. No wonder he was so well-endowed; it turned out his uncle, Pang Dezong, was actually the imperial alchemist.
"Okay, I understand." Mu Hanyan said disapprovingly.
Even if Pang Dezong is the Holy Sword Instructor and the Royal Alchemist, so what? Even if he is temporarily borrowing the position of Dean, so what? Can he still eat her?
Such a big incident happened in the Valley of Strange Beasts that Pang Dezong was too busy dealing with the aftermath to have the time to look for Miss Zhao Si's whereabouts. By the time he had time, she would probably have turned into a pile of bones.
Pang Dezong's identity not only did not bring any pressure to Miss Mu, but instead brought her a hint of surprise.
Originally, she thought that a Marrow Cleansing and Meridian Strengthening Pill plus a Seventh Revolution Qi Refining Pill was already a huge deal, and even the place to join Zhengying Academy could be ignored. But now, she has higher aspirations.
Frankly speaking, Miss Mu was still very interested in the miraculous alchemical devices on Zhao Sining and Qu Fengting.
It would have been fine if she hadn't known about the relationship between Pang Dezong and Zhao Sining, but now that she knew, she would be even less polite.
Soon, they arrived outside Chong Dezong's tent.
After the disciple in charge of guarding announced it, Mu Hanyan entered the tent.
"You are Mu Hanyan. I heard that you are quite capable." Although he needed a favor from Mu Hanyan, Pang Dezong still acted condescending and spoke with a bit of arrogance.
He had already learned of Mu Hanyan's true strength from other swordsmen. Although it was completely different from what they had previously known, he wasn't overly surprised. The Holy Court Continent had never lacked geniuses. In fact, those who could become Holy Sword Instructors were geniuses themselves, so he didn't take it too seriously.
"Thank you for the compliment." Mu Hanyan said calmly.
"My name is Pang Dezong. I'm the Holy Sword instructor of Zhengying Academy, the chief alchemy master, and the chief alchemist of the Anyun royal family. Since the academy's dean is in seclusion, I'm taking over the position of dean temporarily." Pang Dezong straightened his chest proudly, revealing the Holy Sword emblem and dean token on his chest.
"It turns out to be Senior Pang. Junior greets Senior Pang." There were too many titles, and Mu Hanyan didn't know how to address him, so she pretended to be very nervous and said.
Others are acting so arrogantly, you should at least give them some face and cooperate.
"I believe you already know the purpose of calling you here. A Marrow Cleansing and Meridian Strengthening Pill, a Seventh Revolution Qi Refining Pill, and a place as a disciple of Zhengying Academy. There is only one requirement: keep everything that happens in the Valley of Strange Beasts a secret. Except for the head of the family, never reveal a single word to anyone else." Pang Dezong was very satisfied with Mu Hanyan's performance. He nodded and then directly put forward the conditions.
When saying this, Pang Dezong still had a very imposing demeanor and his tone was irrefutable, leaving Mu Hanyan no room for bargaining.
But there was no need to bargain. All the young swordsmen who were called over earlier were trembling with fear in front of him and dared not utter a word. When they heard the conditions he offered, they were so excited that their whole body was shaking. They agreed without even thinking about it. Who would bargain with him?
Unfortunately, others may fall for his tricks, but Miss Mu doesn't.
After all, she had been in the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce for a while, and with the guidance of the old charlatan Qu, Mu Hanyan could of course see that Pang Dezong was pretending and acting pretentiously, but it was just to elevate his status. He wanted to overwhelm the other party with his momentum first, and then offer a decent price to prevent others from being greedy and pestering him.
She had seen many masters and seniors. In the past, she herself was also a master and senior in the eyes of others. She acted arrogant and looked up to others. But there was one by her side. How could she be overwhelmed by his aura, and how could she be moved by such a small benefit?
Mu Hanyan was about to extort money, and she was holding the stick very high. She wouldn't stop until she knocked the person in front of her unconscious!
(Xiao Ba is about to come out, it seems that he will be out in two or three days. Xiao Ba is just the nickname that Chu Xi and Qing Jue give him. His real name is not Xiao Ba, he takes Ling Chuxi's surname, so his surname is Ling Ming... the name is a bit weird, you will know when you read it. Hint, for those who haven't read the previous novel, The Poisonous Concubine, let me tell you here that Xiao Ba is the eighth child of the heroine Ling Chuxi and the hero Huangfu Qing Jue. Chu Xi and Qing Jue ended up having eight children. Because the Heavenly Dao in that world could not defeat Chu Xi, they could only annoy her with small things. For example, Chu Xi wanted a daughter, so the Heavenly Dao made Chu Xi give birth to six sons in a row before giving birth to her only daughter, and then the eighth child was a boy again.)
