Xiao Jinting looked at him with a dark face, saying sulkily, âMister, what do you mean?â
Zhang He said, âMr. Xiao, relax. I come to ask you a favor.â
Xiao Jinting crossed his arms and said with indifference, âWhat can I help you?â
Zhang He said, âMy master saw you on a wanted circular and got surprised.â
Xiao Jinting asked in confusion, âSurprised? I look ordinary.â
There were countless handsome men in the Immortal World, and Xiao Jinting didnât think his countenance could surprise anyone.
The master of Zhang He, who was at the late stage of Real Immortal, must be a powerful man. Xiao Jinting got alarmed.
Zhang He said, âItâs not that you are handsome, but you look exactly like my masterâs son. You are two peas in a pod.â
Xiao Jinting looked at Zhang He and gave an indifferent smile. âSo?â
Zhang He said helplessly, âMy master wants the young master to go to school in the Middle District, but my lady wishes that the young master will take over New Moon Mansion. They canât convince each other.â
Xiao Jinting smiled and said, âSo you want me to pretend to be your young master and manage New Moon Mansion?â
Zhang He nodded. âYes.â
Xiao Jinting asked, âCan I say no?â
Zhang He narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiao Jinting hostilely.
âWith all due respect, I donât see why you turn down the offer. It costs at least several million pieces of Immortal Crystal to go to the Middle District. If you make a mistake and board an unlicensed ship, you might get killed after spending so much money.â
âNew Moon Mansion is much better than the mansion that you managed before. The most precious spiritual herbs in Heavenly Moon Mansion are common in New Moon Mansion. If you agree to take over the mansion, my master will pay you generously.â
Xiao Jinting pondered. Zhang He couldnât think of why Xiao Jinting would turn down the offer, and that meant he didnât allow the latter to refuse.
Xu Muan looked at Xiao Jinting and said, âJinting, itâs a good offer. I heard that the immortal Qi in the Middle District is much richer than that in the Lower District. Itâs a rare opportunity. If you miss it, you might not have it again.â
Xiao Jinting gritted his teeth. There must be ulterior motives behind such a golden opportunity. Why would they give him such a good job? If he guessed it right, the young master should be an illegitimate child.
The master wanted his illegitimate son to study at a great sect and have a bright future, but his wife didnât want that to happen. She wanted the illegitimate son to stay in some remote place.
âMr. Xu, you are sensible. No wonder Xu Han canât get over you after you left.â
Zhang Heâs words upset Xiao Jinting.
Xiao Jinting frowned. âMister, you investigated us.â
Zhang He smiled and said, âSince you look like our young master, we have to know you well.â
Xiao Jinting was speechless. They knew so well about Xu Muan and him, and he couldnât turn down the offer.
Zhang He raised his face and said proudly, âMr. Xiao, you are good at alchemy. Our Young Master Tianyi is an alchemist too. Alchemists are rare in the Immortal World.â
âAll the great forces respect alchemists. Mr. Xiao, you are talented and become a third-grade alchemist at such a young age. Itâs not common. You are almost as good as our young master. Heâs a four-grade alchemist.â
Xiao Jinting was speechless.
Was Zhang He trying to praise him or his young master?
Xiao Jinting guessed Tianyi was a gifted illegitimate son, so the master was willing to make such a big fuss.
Xiao Jinting quickly packed up and left with Zhang He.
He sat in the flying ship and wondered how things would develop like this.
Zhang He said respectfully, âYoung Master, are you okay?â
Xiao Jinting shook his head and said arrogantly, âIâm okay. Donât worry.â
He looked at the flattering face of Zhang He and felt weird.
After boarding the ship, Zhang He asked Xiao Jinting to pretend to be Zhang Tianyi, who was said to be an arrogant, fussy alchemist and liked to curse.
As a result, Xiao Jinting was asked to be rude to Zhang He. He found the situation ridiculous.
