The conversation between Zuo Feng and the old man named Duan is destined to be fruitful for both parties, but it is also destined to fail to gain everything the other party knows.
For the old man surnamed Duan, some things involve the secrets of the medicine family, and some things involve the medicine family, which he cannot easily disclose to outsiders.
Zuo Feng also had some scruples. Not only did he have promises to some people and things he knew, but also because he cared about the safety of these people, so he was bound to have reservations and could not reveal everything he knew.
To the old man named Duan in front of me.
During the subsequent conversation between the old man named Duan and Zuo Feng, Duan Yueyao did not interrupt anymore and remained deep in thought, her expression becoming more solemn.
As for the antidote, Zuo Feng gained something, but it was equivalent to gaining nothing. After all, the medicine sect knew nothing about the antidote, and it only gave him a possibility. Amidst the changes in the Xuanwu Empire,
Someone who can detoxify the soul-transforming liquid will appear, which gives Zuo Feng hope.
Taking a long breath, Zuo Feng tried his best to calm down his emotions. Because the impact Yaoxun had on his heart was really big. The antidote he most expected was on Yaoxun, but he tried his best to hide his feelings at that time.
With his identity, it is even more impossible to randomly meet someone and ask them if they can detoxify the soul-transforming liquid.
I had just escaped from Ye Lin not long ago. Not only did I have to carefully conceal my identity, but I also had to be on guard against the people Ye Lin sent to look for me, and I couldn't easily reveal my affairs to others.
After sorting out his thoughts, Zuo Feng said: "I believe you also understand what happened in the Imperial Capital during this period of time, and you should also have some understanding of what happened in the entire Xuanwu Empire in the recent period. As for the current situation, I don't need to say more.
Please explain."
Zuo Feng tried hard to calm down, but when he said these words, even he felt a little embarrassed.
Duan Yueyao glanced at the old man next to her, but the old man smiled slightly, nodded, and indicated to Duan Yueyao that she could just say what she wanted.
Only then did Duan Yueyao turn her head and look at Zuo Feng and said: "I know what you are going to say. I have been waiting for you after the selection ceremony. You came more than an hour later than I expected. I think it was
I have already received the attitude of the Suyao family, which will save a lot of trouble."
In fact, when he just arrived here and saw Duan Yueyao's expression at that time, Zuo Feng knew that the other party had guessed his purpose and at the same time prepared his words. Now it seems that his suspicion was indeed correct. Duan Yueyao was indeed very prepared.
full.
"Of course our medicine sect knows something about what happened recently in Xuanwu, and we also know a little bit about the more hidden things. Because of this, we are not able to cooperate with you for the time being. Originally, I was prepared to completely refuse cooperation with you, but
Now the original intention needs to be adjusted a little."
The old man surnamed Duan looked calm at this time. He picked up a cup of tea from the table next to him and drank it gently. Even if Duan Yueyao said that he wanted to "change his original intention", he did not show any surprise at all.
After a slight pause, Duan Yueyao said: "The reason why we can't cooperate with you for the time being is because the medicine sect doesn't want to make its position clear so early, which will be very detrimental to us. In addition, we also have some things to prepare, and
We have to wait for some news to come back. If there is more, I will not be able to reveal it."
The other party's reaction was far beyond Zuo Feng's expectations. The other party flatly refused, which he had already estimated before he came. With the ability of the Yao Sect, he now knew that the Huagui and Huagui families were cooperating, and that there was the Qianhuan Sect in the dark.
If they cooperate with the action, it is not surprising that they get the news.
Faced with such strength, it is reasonable for them to choose to refuse. However, if the medicine sect is somewhat ambitious, the possibility of cooperation at this time is not impossible, and is even higher than outright refusal. This is also an important reason for Zuo Feng to come here.
.
The people in the Yao Sect come from the original Yao family. If these people were content with the status quo, they would not have had to choose to split off in the first place. They could have expressed their support for Yao Xun. In that case, even if there were many people in the Yao Tuozi family, I am afraid they should not
Yaoxun is comparable to these people in today's Yimen.
Since the original Yao Sect resolutely chose to become independent and re-establish a sect, it shows that they still have certain ambitions.
So if you choose to stand with the Guihua family now, it is equivalent to choosing Yao Tuozi and others to stand on the same side. It is still possible to get a little benefit from this chaos, but at the same time, the future status of the Yao Tuozi
It will also be very worrying, and even directly become a vassal force of Yao Tuozi.
Choosing to cooperate with the Suyao family is different. What these two families care about is the stability of the empire, and they have never thought about dominating Xuanwu from the beginning. After such cooperation, the Yao Sect will only have a higher reputation than before, and there will be more room for future development.
will be bigger.
However, Duan Yueyao said that her initial plan was to reject it completely, which itself surprised Zuo Feng. Now she said that she could not clearly cooperate for the time being, and that she would not be able to fully cooperate until the time she said was ripe. The amount of information contained in this was huge.
.
Countless thoughts and thoughts were spinning rapidly in Zuo Feng's mind. At a certain moment, Zuo Feng suddenly opened his eyes wide and said, "Can Miss Duan reveal some more information? At present, in the imperial capital, except for the Qianhuan Sect, are there any
Are there other powerful forces?"
Duan Yueyao looked at Zuo Feng deeply for a moment, sighed and said: "I don't know what kind of news you have received, but now it seems that you have thought things too simply. Don't think that you are against the enemy.
How do you understand, because from the day you have such thoughts, you have already failed."
The corners of Zuo Feng's eyes twitched slightly. Duan Yueyao did not say anything substantial, but he understood a lot of information from such words.
The old man surnamed Duan glanced at Duan Yueyao casually. There was a special smile on that old face, but there was a faint look of kindness in his eyes.
Seeing the appearance of the old man surnamed Duan, Duan Yueyao pursed her lips and rolled her eyes at first, but then her pretty face couldn't help but have a trace of rosy color, but he quickly turned to Zuo Feng with a straight face and said
.
"I've said what I can say, and I've also said some of what I can't. If you want to know more, just wait and read. Sooner or later you will know more."
Before she could figure out what the previous words meant, Duan Yueyao turned around and said these words, leaving Zuo Feng choked for a long time without thinking about it.
Seeing Zuo Feng sitting there in a daze, looking confused, Duan Yueyao couldn't help but burst into laughter, but she quickly covered her mouth.
"You should know about the trials in the ancient wasteland, right?"
Seeing Zuo Feng nodding, Duan Yueyao continued: "Actually, the value of this trial to you and me is far greater than what is happening in the Xuanwu Imperial Capital right now. What you are fighting for here is nothing more than rights and resources, but for you
For people like me, if you have talent, you will naturally get resources, and rights don’t mean much.”
The old man surnamed Duan seemed not to be listening. He gently put the tea cup to his mouth and blew away the foam on it. He took a shallow sip with an expression of enjoyment on his face.
Duan Yueyao continued: "Regarding the ancient trial, if we have a chance, we can have a good chat again, but we have to wait until the drug selection peripheral competition is over. I...I will go find you."
When Duan Yueyao said "After the peripheral competition is over", her eyes slightly raised, but immediately acted as if nothing happened and continued to "sip tea" there.
Zuo Feng remained calm on the surface, but he was moved in his heart. Although it was inconvenient for Duan Yueyao to reveal too much, the words he just said seemed to be sending some message to him.
The peripheral competition is for the second place in each county, and some are second and third. There are more than 20 people who have not been able to participate in the final competition. Including the competition during the ceremony today, there are a total of three days of peripheral competition.
It's people like them who are targeted.
After the competition between these people, there is the real final competition to select the medicine, which is also the first part of the competition.
The time Duan Yueyao just mentioned is the point where the peripheral competition ends and the final competition begins.
Zuo Feng didn't know what the deeper meaning was. It might be that what she said before that would be confirmed, and what she was waiting for would have a result. It might also be referring to what would happen on that crucial day.
Of course, it may happen after this time, that is, during the official final competition.
Zuo Feng couldn't figure out the reason, but looking at Duan Yueyao's appearance, that was all he could say. He felt somewhat helpless, but he could only stand up and say goodbye.
This time I came to two things, but neither of them was accomplished. The antidote was not available from the Medicine Sect, and the partner of the Medicine Sect also gave me a "special" answer in this unpredictable way.
Watching Zuo Feng bow respectfully and slowly walk out of the courtyard, the old man surnamed Duan said: "Girl, you have good taste. I am very satisfied with the grandson-in-law you chose. Except that he is a bit 'stupid' in some aspects, in other aspects
They are all very good. I also saw this boy’s performance at the ceremony. It’s good. He is a young hero who dares to do things.”
Duan Yueyao frowned, opened her mouth slightly, and turned her head to one side, but looking from the side, she could still feel a slight rosiness on her face.
The old man smiled and shook his head and said: "But the current situation seems to have a lot of variables. I think we still need to confirm whether the news over there is accurate. If it weren't for those people, it would be just a drug hunchback."
It’s very difficult to deal with them, so getting out as soon as possible is the right choice.”
Duan Yueyao looked solemn and said: "I was not sure at first, so I decided to refuse their cooperation, but after listening to this guy's words, I am now 70% sure."
