Chapter 72 - 72 Zhang Li's Request! Heading to the Lord's Market!
72 Zhang Li’s Request! Heading to the Lord’s Market!
Zhou Zhou and Zhang Ben chatted for a while more before leaving.
Zhang Boen looked in the direction where they left and couldn’t help but exclaim.
“A Hero! That female attendant is definitely a hero!”
“He’s only been in our High Continent for six days, but he’s already developed to this extent?”
“No wonder this Lord of The Blazing Sun could take down a Regional Territory.”
“Impressive.”
“Teacher, the Ministers in the palace all say that you’ve aged and decayed. You retired because you weren’t capable enough to be the Prime Minister.”
“They’re all wrong. You’re still as wise as ever. I have to be on good terms with this Lord in the future.” Zhang Boen thought for a moment and turned to leave.
…
After a while.
Zhou Zhou followed the map and arrived in front of the New Wind Tailor Shop.
“Teacher!”
“I’m here!”
Bao Xiu’er rushed into the shop excitedly when they reached the entrance of the shop.
Zhou Zhou and Bai Yi looked at each other and smiled before entering.
Zhou Zhou saw Bao Xiu’er hugging a young woman in beautiful clothes as soon as he entered.
This young woman was already in her thirties but she was beautiful, had fair skin, and a voluptuous figure. There seemed to be light in her eyes, and she had the temperament of a virtuous wife.
Zhou Zhou’s eyes lit up.
“This is my Lord!”
“This is Big Sister Bai!”
“My Lord, Big Sister Bai, this is my teacher, Zhang Li.”
“She’s also the current head of New Wind Tailoring Skills!”
Bao Xiu’er immediately felt a little embarrassed when she saw her Lord so she introduced him.
“Greetings, my Lord. My disciple has embarrassed herself in front of you, my Lord.” Zhang Li was a little embarrassed.
“No way, I can see that Bao Xiu’er and Big Sister Zhang have a good relationship.” Zhou Zhou smiled.
When Zhang Li heard this, the smile on her face widened.
Then, she invited Zhou Zhou and the others to sit in the inner room.
Zhou Zhou and the rest naturally wouldn’t refuse and walked in one after another.
They chatted for a while before Zhou Zhou brought up the purpose of their visit.
“Big Sister Zhang, I wonder if you’re interested in developing in my territory?”
“My territory has just been built, and I need talents.”
“If you can come, you can definitely show your skills in our territory.”
“And I can make you a promise. As long as you’re willing to come to my territory, when there are enough resources in the future, I’m willing to build a White Platinum-Tier Elementary Grade tailor shop for you in the territory.”
“Your treatment will definitely not lose to the treatment you can have in other places!” Zhou Zhou was very polite.
She was a White Platinum-Tier Elementary Grade talent after all. He would be a fool to snub her.
“Yes, Teacher! Come to Blazing Sun City with me!”
“The Lord is very powerful, and so is Big Sister Bai Yi. If you join the Lord’s territory now, you will definitely not be disappointed in the future!” Bao Xiu’er persuaded.
“This… You have a White Platinum-Tier Architect in your territory?” Zhang Li looked at her disciple helplessly and asked.
A White Platinum-Tier tailor shop!
Even she would be tempted.
“The honorary president of the Construction Association, Zhao Changshou is living in my territory now.” Zhou Zhou smiled.
Zhang Li was stunned.
She had heard of Zhao Changshou before.
He was a true upper-class figure in the Aurora Kingdom. Even the Aurora King had personally received him. He was a true top-notch Expert in the construction industry!
He was actually in the territory of this young Lord?
Zhang Li did not believe him at first, but she hesitated when she saw Bao Xiu’er’s sincere gaze.
She naturally understood her own disciple. Her gaze told her that the Lord in front of her should not be lying.
After a moment of silence, Zhang Li shook her head.
“My apologies, my Lord. I still can’t go.”
“Can you tell me the reason? Are you dissatisfied with my conditions? Or do you think that our territory has just been built, so you’re unwilling to settle down there?” Zhou Zhou pondered for a moment and asked.
“That’s not the case.”
“Please follow me.”
Zhang Li sighed softly. Then, she stood up and walked towards another house.
The three of them were stunned.
Then, they followed.
Soon.
They came to another room.
As soon as the three of them entered the room, they smelled a strong medicinal smell.
Then, they saw an old woman with gray hair lying on the bed not far away.
“This is my teacher, Li Huiyue.”
“She was the one who taught me the New Wind tailoring skills, allowing me to have the ability to feed myself. She was also the one who promoted me from a Yellow Gold-Tier Intermediate Grade tailor to the current White Platinum-Tier Elementary Grade tailor I am now.”
“She’s seriously ill.”
“I can’t take her to a famous doctor who can cure her now so I can only give her a peaceful environment to recuperate in Fish Spring Town.”
“And my Lord, your territory has just been built. If we go to your territory now, I’m afraid my teacher won’t be able to withstand the bumps on the way.”
“That’s why I can’t go to your territory. My apologies, my Lord.” Zhang Li whispered.
Zhou Zhou fell silent.
He had nothing to say about Zhang Li’s reason.
Was he going to let an old lady risk her life to go to his territory just to complete a Quest?
Moreover, the novice Lord test was in two days.
At that time, his territory would definitely be even more dangerous.
The old lady definitely couldn’t stand that kind of environment.
Zhou Zhou admitted that he was very tempted by the reward for the hidden mission.
However, he was not the kind of person who would do things without any bottom line just for the mission reward.
Forget it!
He did not want the Hidden Mission reward anymore.
After thinking it through, Zhou Zhou came to the old lady’s side.
“Is there no cure for this old lady? If you lack a certain herb, I can help.” He looked at the old lady’s ashen expression and asked.
“It’s not that. She needs a famous doctor.”
“However, my teacher’s current situation is quite stable, so there’s no need to worry too much for the time being.”
Zhang Li consoled Zhou Zhou, seeing how his expression was solemn.
She could tell that this Lord was genuinely concerned about her Teacher and could not help but have a good impression of him.
Zhou Zhou acknowledged.
After that, they did not disturb the old lady’s rest and walked out of the room with Bai Yi, leaving Bao Xiu’er and Zhang Li inside.
“My Lord, what should we do?”
Bai Yi could not help but ask.
She was one of the few who knew why Zhou Zhou was here.
“Nothing.”
“Let her stay here. We can’t really let such an old lady take the risk to travel to our territory.”
“The conditions in Fish Spring Town are indeed better than our Blazing Sun City. It’s also more suitable for recuperation.”
“Fortunately, this place isn’t far from our Blazing Sun City. If Bao Xiu’er misses her teacher in the future, she can come over anytime.”
“This can be considered another form of master-disciple reunion.” Zhou Zhou said.
“My Lord is merciful.”
A smile appeared on Bai Yi’s face.
She had an even better impression of her Lord now.
Zhou Zhou waved his hand.
Inside the house.
“You didn’t follow the wrong Lord. This Lord is at least benevolent.” Zhang Li smiled at Bao Xiu’er after Zhou Zhou and Bai Yi left.
“That is true. Moreover, our Lord isn’t just a benevolent Lord. He’s also very powerful.”
Bao Xiu’er told Zhang Li about Zhou Zhou’s achievements in the past six days.
“You’re saying that this Lord is the Lord of The Blazing Sun who occupied the Blazing Sun Desert?” Zhang Li was stunned.
“That’s right!” Bao Xiu’er nodded.
Then, she looked at her Grandmaster lying on the bed worriedly.
“I wonder when Grandmaster will recover…”
She did not notice that her teacher, Zhang Li, was deep in thought.
Soon, her gaze became determined as she walked out of the room.
Zhou Zhou, who was thinking about what to do next, suddenly saw Zhang Li walk out of the room.
“My Lord.” Zhang Li said before he could say anything.
“Can you agree to a request of mine? As long as you’re willing to agree, I’m willing to become your subject and serve you.”
“However, I need to stay in Fish Spring Town to take care of my teacher until she recovers. I wonder if you’re willing?”
“You’re an elder. You don’t have to be so polite. Just tell me what you want.” Zhou Zhou was stunned before saying.
“I know that you are the Lord of The Blazing Sun who has been very famous recently. Your future is destined to be limitless.”
“If you can meet a famous doctor who can treat my teacher in the future, I’m willing to be your Subject wholeheartedly.”
“I can be your temporary Subject now. You can ask me to work for you like how you ask normal Subjects to work for you. However, I have the right to refuse too. I wonder if my Lord is willing to accept it?” Zhang Li asked.
“Of course! Don’t worry! In the future, if I encounter a famous doctor who can treat your teacher, I will definitely ask him or her to help treat her!” Zhou Zhou agreed without hesitation.
A smile appeared on Zhang Li’s face.
“Subject Zhang Li greets my Lord!”
She bowed slightly.
“Welcome to Blazing Sun City!”
Zhou Zhou smiled.
The next second.
A Quests notification appeared.
[Notification! Mission Quest: Master-disciple reunion completed!]
[100 White Platinum-Tier Mist Cores have been distributed!]
[Bao Xiu’er’s loyalty has increased to dead loyal!]
[White Platinum-Tier Elementary Grade Tailor Zhang Li has temporarily become your Subject!]
[Prompt: After Zhang Li’s teacher, Li Huiyue, recovers, Zhang Li will officially become your Subject!]
A smile appeared on Zhou Zhou’s face.
Things might be different from what he had imagined, but the Quest was finally completed.
A moment later, Zhou Zhou and Bai Yi left the New Wind Tailor Shop.
Bao Xiu’er stayed in the shop for the time being to accompany her teacher until Zhou Zhou and the others were about to return to the territory.
On the street.
Zhou Zhou and Bai Yi walked one after another.
“My Lord, where are we going?”
Bai Yi asked curiously.
“To the Lord’s Market!” Zhou Zhou said.
The Lord’s Market!
It was the place where Zhang Boen told him that he could buy what he wanted!
