"Qingyao, you must remember that your destiny is in your own hands. If you don't fight for it yourself, no one can help you." Li Mu's voice brought Qingyao's thoughts back to reality.
Qingyao nodded heavily, her eyes became clearer, and she said to Li Mu solemnly: "Senior, Qingyao will remember your kindness. Qingyao will cherish this hard-won opportunity and will work harder in the future to live up to your trust."
Watching all this, Meng Ting's eyes showed a different look. She said nothing and no one knew what she was thinking.
As the foreign affairs elder of Chaos Trading Company, she was no stranger to this method of winning people's hearts. But if Li Mu really just wanted to win people's hearts, would he need to spend 1 million Chaos Stones? This price was too high, after all, the other party was just an Immortal Emperor.
"Haha, Qingyao, to be honest, in order to gain a foothold in the Chaos Sea, I intend to establish a force. I have even thought of a name, it's called Lingxiao Palace, and I will be the palace master. I wonder if you are interested in joining?" Li Mu said with a smile.
"Ah~? Qingyao's strength is weak..." Qingyao said in fear.
"Qingyao, I'm going to get angry if you do this. What did I tell you just now? No one in this world is nobler than anyone else. Lack of strength does not mean ability. Those people have just practiced longer than you. If you are capable, you can still become a big boss if you are given enough time! Let me ask you now, do you have confidence in your ability?"
"I...I...Qingyao has confidence!"
"Very good! Then let me ask you again, are you willing to join Lingxiao Palace and start a career of your own with me?" Li Mu's words were so loud and clear that they attracted the attention of all the diners in the hall.
"Qingyao is willing! Qingyao is willing to join Lingxiao Palace. Please accept Qingyao and let Qingyao contribute to the construction of Lingxiao Palace!" Qingyao clasped her hands together and knelt on one knee.
"Okay, from now on, you will be a member of my Lingxiao Palace, and a veteran. When Lingxiao Palace soars to the sky, you will definitely have a share of the credit!" Li Mu helped Qingyao up, then pointed at Kunpeng and said, "By the way, let me introduce you, this is our Lingxiao's deputy palace master, Kunpeng."
"Greetings, Deputy Hall Master!" Qing Yao hurriedly saluted. At the same time, she couldn't help but feel a little shocked. She thought Li Mu just had a good relationship with Kun Peng, and the two of them were just friends. She didn't expect that a big boss like Kun Peng, the Void Immortal Ancestor, would be willing to be the Deputy Hall Master under Li Mu!
Meng Ting, who was sitting next to him, was also slightly stunned. She also thought that Kunpeng, who was so arrogant, was actually willing to work under Li Mu. You know, Kunpeng was in the middle stage of the Void Immortal Ancestor, while Li Mu was only in the early stage!
Originally, she saw that Li Mu was able to befriend Kunpeng at the initial stage of the Void Immortal Ancestor realm, and even in front of the Black Wind Emperor, Kunpeng stood firmly on Li Mu's side, thinking that Li Mu must be extraordinary. Now it seems that she still underestimated Li Mu! This must be a child of a big family from the outside world, and her bet was right!
The other diners present had similar ideas to Meng Ting. Although many of them did not go to watch the confrontation between Li Mu and the Black Wind Emperor, Li Mu's name had long been heard by all the major cultivators in Black Wind City. A great cultivator like Kunpeng was willing to be the deputy hall master of the Lingxiao Hall. Meng Ting, the foreign affairs elder of the Chaos Trading Company, did not hesitate to spend millions of Chaos Stones to make friends with him and even personally accompanied Li Mu to the Treasure House for dinner. It seemed that Li Mu was probably not a simple person!
However, Kunpeng, as the person involved, was a little confused. Aren't there only two people in Lingxiao Hall besides Li Mu, the hall master? Besides him, Chifeng was still in Lingxiao Universe. Even with Qingyao, there were only three members in Lingxiao Hall. When did he become the deputy hall master?
However, the Palace Master had his own plans, so he was not stupid enough to bring up this question at this moment. However, at this moment, his mind became active: "I wonder if the Palace Master's suggestion today about the deputy Palace Master will count...?"
He knew that Lingxiao Palace had unlimited potential. If it really developed, his position as the deputy palace master might be higher than the leaders of the six major forces in the current Qiongzu Universe.
"Hehe~ After hearing what little brother said, I feel a little moved. I wonder if little brother is willing to let me join our Lingxiao Palace?" Meng Ting said with a smile.
"Haha, Elder Meng, you're joking. Elder Meng, you're the foreign affairs elder of Chaos Trading Company. How can you look down upon my small Lingxiao Palace? Besides, even if I had the intention, I don't have the courage to snatch people from Chaos Trading Company." Li Mu responded.
He still had self-knowledge, and was not so arrogant as to think that he could really get Meng Ting to join Lingxiao Palace with just a few words. He also did not dare to offend Chaos Trading Company at this time. The reason why he was so high-profile was, firstly, to completely subdue Qingyao, and secondly to attract the attention of other cultivators, letting them know that there was a force called "Lingxiao Palace" that had just been established, and that this force was quite powerful and was in urgent need of a large number of talents.
Seeing the monks around him whispering, Li Mu knew that his goal had been achieved, so he waved to the waiter beside him: "Waiter, take the order!"
The waiter trotted over and handed the menu to Li Mu.
Li Mu did not answer, but said to Meng Ting: "Elder Meng, this is my first day in Black Wind City, and I don't know what the characteristics of this Treasure House are. Why don't you recommend it to me?"
Hearing what Li Mu said, Meng Ting did not refuse, nor did she take the menu. She directly said to the waiter: "Bring four Tianzi set meals!"
"Puff~" Upon hearing this, Kunpeng sprayed out what he had just put into his mouth.
"Xiao Kun, what are you doing in front of Elder Meng? You have no manners at all!" Li Mu frowned.
Kunpeng wiped his mouth and apologized to Meng Ting first, then he sent a voice message to Li Mu: "Palace Master, you don't know that although this Treasure House is subsidized by Black Wind City, the food is very cheap. Food that usually costs 50 Chaos Stones outside only costs 20 here, but this does not include the Tianzi Set Meal. It is said that this Tianzi Set Meal uses dragon and phoenix meat as ingredients, which is very rare and was the special food provided by the Black Wind Emperor before."
"So what? He, Heifeng, can eat it, but I, the Palace Master, am not qualified to eat it?" Li Mu said unhappily.
Kunpeng didn't say anything more and replied directly: "One Chaos Stone."
"...One portion?" Li Mu immediately lost his temper. It's not that he thought it was too expensive, he just couldn't afford it. After all, Kunpeng's entire body was only worth more than 3,000 Chaos Stones. He couldn't even afford one portion, let alone four portions.
"This Heifeng, he knows very well that the foreign monks in Heifeng City are not rich and cannot afford the Tianzi set meal, but he still sells this set meal. Isn't this naked showing off?" Li Mu cursed inwardly.
