The Grandmaster Zhang dare not refute, he hastily shook his head, no no, how can the great grandmother-in-law compel subordinates? It is absolutely impossible. Who dare say such things about the great grandmother-in-law, I will be very angry with him!
The Empress Dowager Huang Zeng Tian looked at the Grandmaster Zhang as if he were looking at a monkey. I said, Zhang Chenyu, what you said is not right. I am not a dictator. How can I indulge in revenge? This is unacceptable. You know, when doing anything, one must win people over with virtue! It is not allowed to retaliate against anyone; otherwise, I will be angry!
Grandmaster Zhang sighed inwardly. What kind of thing is this? You took away Ma Chang from me, and I still have to praise you, and I can't let others know. This is really hard. My fate is so bad! Just when things were starting to look up, Ma Chang was taken away. I can't say anything, and I have to speak well of him and praise him for others. Only I can do such things. No one else would do it. My fate is so unfair. After thousands of years, a small follower is about to become the big brother, but who knows he will become a small follower again? It seems that my life will always be as a small brother!
Empress Dowager Huang Zeng Tian looked at the Grandmaster Zhang without saying a word for half an hour. Suddenly, he felt funny. If Zhang Chenyu hadn't been so arrogant, he wouldn't have had a reason to persuade Mo Wenjie to be the president of the Taohuangjing Danzhong! However, it was also good that this matter had Zhang Chenyu's help. I think Mo Wenjie should agree to be the president of Taohuangjiang Danzhong. In that case, my power in one realm will be improved. If I can really let the Hongmeng Grandmaster know that I have such good ability, maybe I can get promoted again. Power has reached a certain level and position should also be adjusted! If I can manage a higher level realm, I won't regret my life! Grandmaster Zhang, you go back to the inn now. No matter what, you must make Mo Wenjie the president of Taohuangjiang Danzhong!
Grandmaster Zhang certainly couldn't go against the Empress Dowager's will. He began to think about how to keep Mo Wenjie in Feihuang City and how to make him the president of the Taohuangjing Danzhong. After thinking for half a day, he still couldn't come up with a good solution. He had no choice but to ask the Empress Dowager Huang Zeng Tian for leave. The Empress Dowager Huang Zeng Tian, I also can't think of anything good here. I want to go back to the inn now. By the time I see Mo Wenjie, maybe there will be a solution. After all, I still have some improvisation skills and may accidentally come up with a two-win solution!
Seeing that Grandmaster Zhang was sweating profusely, the Empress Dowager Huang Zeng Tian also had no more ways. Now the only hope was for Zhang Chenyu to persuade Mo Wenjie. Besides this, there was no good way. Since that's the case, I'll grant Grandmaster Zhang's request. Hurry up and leave the palace, go to the inn to find Mo Wenjie. The importance of this matter doesn't need me to tell you!
Grandmaster Zhang isn't a fool; how could he not understand what the Empress Dowager Huang Zeng Tian meant? Even though he is a thousand and ten thousand unwilling, when under someone's roof, one has to bow their head. This is something that can't be changed. Therefore, even if he doesn't want to help the Empress Dowager Huang Zeng Tian, he can't anymore. He was tricked by others; what can he blame but himself for showing off too much? If Mo Wenjie didn't become the president of the Cloud City Alchemy Association, wouldn't that be better? Why should he display his strength secretly? This was truly him lifting a stone to drop it on his own foot! There's no way to avoid destiny. The Empress Dowager, I will take my leave now. I will come and notify you when I have news!
The Empress Dowager Huang Zeng Tian looked at Grandmaster Zhang and said, "Alright, go find Mo Wenjie as soon as possible!"
Grandmaster Zhang left the palace and returned to the inn.
A visitor came to the Empress Dowager Huang Zeng Tian's palace uninvited. The Empress Dowager looked at the visitor helplessly and shook her head. "Isn't this our Feihuang City's proud Princess Huang Ling'er? What wind has brought you here? You appear like a ghost, it's impossible to guard against you. Are you out of money again? In my memory, whenever you're out of money, you come to me. When you have money, even if I use an eight-lift sedan chair to invite you, you wouldn't come back! So, how much money do you want this time, little miss?"
Princess Huang Ling looked at the Empress Dowager Huang Zeng Tian and said, "Grandpa, you can't do this! You can't treat me like this. Even if you don't like me, you shouldn't do something like this. Do you want me to get struck by lightning? Are you still my grandfather? I never thought you would treat me like this!"
The Empress Dowager Huang Zeng Tian looked at her granddaughter in front of her and said, "Do I have a problem saying this? Aren't you here because you have no money? When you have money, it's harder for me to see you than climbing to heaven! Now why won't you admit it? I have some business to attend to. Hurry up and tell me how much money you need!"
Princess Huang Ling looked at the Empress Dowager Huang Zeng Tian and giggled, "Old Huang, you still understand me quite well, don't you? But you're wrong today; I'm not here to ask for money. I came to ask about a person!"
The Empress Dowager Huang Zeng Tian couldn't believe what she saw. She looked at Princess Huang Ling in disbelief and said, "How can the sun come from the west? Why don't you want money anymore? Are you suddenly asking about a person? Must be something that has hurt you. Tell me, and I'll help you vent my anger!"
Princess Huang Ling waved her hand and said, "Grandpa, you're getting more and more backward. You don't think about who I am? Who dares to disrespect me? I came to you today because I want to find out something about a person. I heard that this person is quite capable, and he's a genius. Everyone hopes to cooperate with him. I also want to meet this person and see if he's as powerful as others say. Grandpa, please make it happen!"
The Empress Dowager Huang Zeng Tian understood her granddaughter's intention. It's not impossible for you to see him, but as a young woman, is this appropriate? Have you thought about what good it would do for you to meet him? Do you have feelings for him? No, no, absolutely not. You are the granddaughter of the Empress Dowager Huang Zeng Tian; he is just an ordinary person. There is a world of difference in your status. You are not on the same path, so there's no need for you to meet him!
Princess Huang Ling listened to what her grandfather said, and she was unhappy. "Grandpa, what do you mean by that? I didn't say who I want to see. How do you know that he and I are like day and night? And how do you know that he is an ordinary person and me a noble one?" She added, "Even if I do know who he is, and there is indeed a world of difference between us, how can you guarantee that I won't fall in love with him? If I do, none of you can stop me. Believe me, if I like someone, I advise everyone to let me be. We don't want our faces to be lost. If I like someone, even if their status is lower than mine, you guys had better agree. Otherwise, wait for me to steam rice!"
The Empress Dowager Huang Zeng Tian, hearing her granddaughter say this, was delighted in her heart. She secretly thought to herself, "I would rather you cook rice with him as soon as possible. I'm now trying to find a way to keep him here. I haven't come up with a good idea yet. If you can keep him here, I'll give you a major merit. He then pretended not to know very well and asked, "Is the person you want to find out called Mo Wenjie?"
Princess Huang Ling was surprised that her grandfather actually guessed right. "Old man, have you met him?" She asked, "How old is this person? Is he as handsome and charming as the rumors say? If that's true, I really want to meet him. After all, if I want to achieve greater things in the future, it will definitely involve leaving behind alchemy. To be able to make a good match with an alchemist would also be a very good choice. I still need to see for myself before making a decision!"
The Empress Dowager Huang Zeng Tian felt there was still a lot of hope in her heart when she heard her granddaughter say that. After all, Mo Wenjie's appearance was absolutely flawless, a standard hunk. His looks alone could disorient many fair ladies. Such a person, combined with his superior alchemy skills and formidable strength, would undoubtedly pose a considerable threat to the ladies. Even her granddaughter would likely be captivated by him! "Ling'er, do you really want to meet him? Aren't you afraid that he might be an ugly duckling?" she asked.
Princess Huang Ling answered without thinking, "Grandpa, you can't deceive me like that! Do you really think I'm an idiot? If he's ugly, everyone would certainly talk about it. At the very least, they would say that an ugly duckling is a senior alchemist. That's just absurd! How can a senior alchemist not be able to create beauty-enhancing and anti-aging potions? If he can't even do that, how can he be considered a senior alchemist? Are you dense or am I dense?"
The Empress Dowager Huang Zeng Tian understood that her granddaughter was not so easy to fool around with. He had to admit that Mo Wenjie was indeed a heartthrob. Of course, her granddaughter was not bad either; she was a beauty among beauties and could definitely dazzle him!
Princess Huang Ling impatiently interrupted the Empress Dowager Huang Zeng Tian's words, saying, "Old man, you don't need to deceive others or yourself. Your granddaughter isn't unmarriageable. So, if he's not outstanding enough, he really doesn't deserve your granddaughter!"
The Empress Dowager Huang Zeng Tian naturally knew what kind of person her granddaughter was. After all, she had grown up by her side since childhood, and he was very familiar with her character. Through his understanding of Mo Wenjie, he should be able to deserve her. In any aspect, he can be considered outstanding. He is handsome, a senior alchemist, has martial arts skills equal to his own, and is young. Do you think he doesn't have the qualification to match your granddaughter? I tell you the truth, he does have the qualification to match your granddaughter. Of course, you don't look at whose granddaughter she is. My granddaughter Huang Zeng Tian is also a shining star among people!
Princess Huang Ling giggled and said, "Grandpa, don't exaggerate anymore. Do you really think Mo Wenjie is as outstanding as you claim? Give others a chance to boast too. I don't care about that. Just tell me where he is, and let me meet him in person. Let's see if he's as outstanding as the rumors say. If he really is extraordinarily talented, I won't hold back. I'll take the initiative first! By doing so, no one else can compete with me. This is my principle: As long as I make up my mind, I will not hesitate to use any means possible. Such an attractive young man with such extraordinary talents; no doubt his competitiveness will be enormous! So, I'll show them a backdoor strategy!"
