The airplane slowly glided through the sky, following a specific route, and landed at the waiting area’s airport.
Lu Zheng stepped off the plane, toying with two photographs in his hand.
"Several hunter squads have lost contact....."
His gaze paused montarily on Liu Cuihua’s photo and then shifted to the photo of ’Lin Dongxi’.
All in the waiting area, which indeed saved effort.
He rembered his master Chen Qiusheng’s words: this ti, coming to the waiting area, killing was secondary,
after all, neither Lin Dongxi nor Liu Cuihua had a Martial Arts Master nearby, killing them was all too easy.
The most critical task was there.
Lu Zheng’s gaze looked towards the direction of the council building.
He left the airport and headed straight for the council building.
Presenting three big gifts, along with his master’s connections and favors, it wasn’t until five in the morning that,
he finally passed through the many security checks and t that extraordinary figure.
"Old Mr. Zhao."
Lu Zheng slightly bent over, lowered his head, and respectfully said to the Golden Clan’s major steward:
"My master asked to convey his regards to you."
"Chen Qiusheng?"
The steward’s expression was indifferent; although he was a Grandmaster, yet.....
Grandmasters were everywhere.
There were only eight Golden Legislators in the entire province.
"Yes, Old Mr. Zhao."
Lu Zheng kept his head low, maintaining an absolutely respectful posture:
"Recently, it seems there has been a major change from the Capital, affecting our Golden Province."
He spoke in a low voice:
"My master wishes to conduct a small transaction with Old Mr. Zhao, and even Legislator Hu....."
The steward lifted his eyelids, stating coldly:
"The master is no longer a legislator."
"Just temporarily."
Lu Zheng carefully chose his words, cautiously saying:
"Everyone knows, among the eight legislators, Elder Hu is the most upright; a small political upheaval will soon be quelled."
As he spoke, he solemnly presented a small wooden box, speaking softly:
"This is a token of my master’s regard."
Even Lu Zheng couldn’t help but feel a bit of pain; his master went through a lot of trouble to get this item.
An attendant picked up the wooden box, handed it to the steward, and upon opening it, the steward’s expression slightly changed, speaking emotionally:
"Old Chen really went all out, sending this thing out?"
The na Chen Qiusheng in his words changed to Old Chen, and his tone also beca a bit more amiable.
Inside the box was a Qi and Blood Marvelous dicine, exceptionally rare and extraordinarily effective.
The least effective scenario could help a Martial Arts Master uncover the third Spleen Secret, even complete an additional Qi Blood Sublimation.
And the most important effect...
Longevity.
This was a marvelous dicine that could extend life by at least ten years!
In all things under heaven, the word ’longevity’ kills the most.
Even deities face the crisis of their lifespan running out, constantly worried about the Celestial Human’s Five Declines.
The steward gravely closed the wooden box, asking:
"What does Old Chen want to do?"
"To be honest with you."
Lu Zheng cautiously replied:
"The struggle in the capital is an opportunity, my master wishes to..... beco a Golden Legislator."
He considered it for a mont and continued:
"The one in Chongyang City was also affected by the conflict, maybe, he should step down."
The steward squinted:
"Old Chen wants the master to help him vie for the legislative seat in Chongyang City?"
He spoke with a half-smile:
"In that case, one marvelous dicine is far from enough."
"Of course."
Lu Zheng was clear-headed:
"But if my master assus the position, naturally, he can also assist Elder Hu, don’t you think?"
The steward remained silent, his knuckles rhythmically tapping gently on the armrest.
In the silence, sweat appeared on Lu Zheng’s forehead, and the pressure he felt kept mounting.
After a long ti.
"I will convey it to the master, in a few days, the master will contact Chen Qiusheng."
The steward said flatly:
"As for success or failure, it all depends on the master’s inclination, and..... Old Chen’s performance."
"Understood, understood!"
Lu Zheng nodded and bowed, then offered another Great dicine.
"This is for you, esteed elder."
He smiled and said:
"I would like to ask you, esteed elder, to help check on two people in the waiting area."
A smile appeared on the steward’s face; checking on two people naturally did not warrant his personal inquiry.
This young man was taking the opportunity to offer gifts, incidentally incurring a favor upon himself.
Once a favor is owed, there’s a reason to repay it later, a basis for deepening interactions.
An understanding little fellow.
"Hmm, I’ll instruct the others to handle it." The steward nodded slightly.
Lu Zheng bowed respectfully once more and left without hesitation.
After he left.
’Creak～’
The mahogany doors opened, and an elderly man and a three-eyed child walked in together.
"Master, Mr. Zhou."
The steward was respectful, though unaware of why the master seed like an old friend with the lucky Zhou Muniu..... but that was not sothing he should ponder over.
He presented two wooden boxes.
Hu Zhongli opened and glanced at them, tossing the Great dicine back to the steward and keeping the marvelous dicine.
"Chen Qiusheng, is it?"
Hu Zhongli nonchalantly remarked:
"Take note, have him call in three days in the afternoon."
"Yes, master."
The steward bowed and respectfully withdrew.
Hu Zhongli weighed the marvelous dicine, sighed complexly.
A new influence had arrived.
Before that world-distorting figure, although the struggle in the capital was widespread, it wasn’t enough to affect the Golden Province’s legislative seats.
But now....
He temporarily lost the legislative seat, consequently, the seats of other legislators in the province also began to waver.
Many Great Sects began to move to contend.
"Just a transaction..." Hu Zhongli was lost in thought, then solemnly upheld that exceptionally precious marvelous dicine:
