Ronaldinho's Pokémon Journey

Chapter 216 A mysterious complex of buildings suspected to be ancient ruins

Hearing this, the seventh manager's face turned pale, and the next moment he knelt on the ground with a plop, and said seriously, "I'm guilty. I've been hiding here for two days, and I've been secretly watching the lady's hands. Zhu’s elixir recipe.”

After speaking the straightforward words, the atmosphere in the entire courtyard suddenly froze.

Zhu Lin in the pavilion also had cold eyes and suddenly stood up from her seat.

The seventh steward's face was full of horror, but he didn't dare to move. He just lowered his head, as if waiting for Zhu Lin's thunderous wrath.

But after waiting for a long time, Zhu Lin made no move. Now the seventh steward couldn't help it and shouted tremblingly, "Miss...?"

"I'm here."

Zhu Lin said calmly, "Manager Qi, let me ask you again, how many years have you taken care of me."

"It has been 50 years since the young lady was born."

Seven is in charge of affairs.

"Yeah, more than 50 years."

There was a hint of sadness in Zhu Lin's words, "Although this time is not long for a warrior, for me, it is extremely long, almost equivalent to my entire life, and you, the seventh manager, have grown up watching You grew up with me, so what else can I do to you?"

As soon as these words came out, the seventh steward who was kneeling on the ground also trembled, with excitement in his eyes.

"Okay, get up."

Zhu Lin said calmly. At this time, the seventh steward immediately stood up and said excitedly, "Miss, I..."

"Okay, no need to explain."

Zhu Lin waved her hand again and said directly, "You are absolutely right to want to become stronger. You have stayed in my Zhu family for 600 years and you have done countless things for my Zhu family. Although you have not made any great contributions, But as the saying goes, there is hard work without credit, not to mention that you have taken care of me for so many years? And you are also a warrior. All warriors want to become stronger. This is normal, and I don’t blame you."

As soon as these words came out, Manager Seven's eyes became more and more excited, and he said seriously, "Miss, there won't be a next time."

"Haha, I believe you."

Zhu Lin smiled and said, "But there will be no next time. After all, you have this time."

Upon hearing this, the seventh steward was stunned.

"I can't blame you. I can even pretend that it didn't happen if you peeked at the Zhu's prescription that my father gave me. However, that's just me not blaming you."

Zhu Lin said seriously, "I don't stand for rules, but without rules, there is no rule. So if you peek at my Zhu's elixir recipe this time, you can avoid the death penalty, but there must be punishment."

Manager Seven's face paled, but his eyes showed seriousness, "Miss, tell me, I will accept any punishment."

Snapped!

A crisp voice suddenly came out, but it was Zhu Lin who suddenly took action and slapped the seventh steward, which instantly stunned them.

Zhu Lin, however, had no intention of caring about the seventh steward. She reached out with her other hand and slapped the seventh steward again.

After dozens of slaps, there was a bang, and the seventh manager's body fell to the ground. Lao Gao's cheeks were swollen, blood mixed with his teeth, and he vomited all over the floor.

"call."

Seeing that the seventh manager was in this state, Zhu Lin also let out a deep breath. The next moment her body moved and she returned to her previous seat in the pavilion.

"Questions?"

After sitting on her seat, Zhu Lin asked lightly.

"No...no."

Vague words came out of Manager Qi's mouth, and Zhu Lin nodded, "It's okay if you don't have any. Just take the elixir."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Lin waved her palm and threw a pill to the seventh steward. Immediately, the seventh steward also took the pill, and soon the injury on his cheek began to heal.

After all the injuries on his cheek were healed, Zhu Lin also nodded and waved her palm again. The Zhu's prescription that had been missing from her hand appeared again. The next moment, Zhu Lin threw it away again and directly threw it away. Danfang was thrown to the seventh steward.

"It's just Danfang, if you want it, just ask for it. As long as you ask for it, I will definitely give it to you. Unfortunately, you chose to peek in secret. It really disappoints me."

Hearing this, the seventh steward was also speechless.

"Okay, you have already been punished. Let's forget about your peeping. You can take this pill recipe and look at it as you like."

Zhu Lin said lightly, "After all, you have watched me grow up since childhood. To me, there is no difference between you and my closest relatives, so put it away."

After hearing this, the seventh steward's body shook, and his eyes even shed tears, but he put the pill away without saying a word.

"Well, how are my brother Heng and Fang Keqing doing?"

At this moment, Zhu Lin changed the topic and said suddenly.

"It's business as usual."

The seventh steward also immediately bowed his head and answered.

"Everything is fine."

Zhu Lin smiled and said, "By the way, you and Fang Keqing seemed to have some conflicts before, right?"

"It's not really a conflict, just some squabbles."

The seventh steward said.

"Haha, is there a quarrel? That's fine, then keep going and don't resolve this quarrel."

Zhu Lin smiled and said, "Because I want you to observe him all the time. After all, he said nicely that he came to my Zhu family for the advancement of alchemy. But who knows what he really wants to do. Keeping a certain distance from him is also a good idea." He is an oppressor.”

"Yes."

Manager Seven nodded, "My subordinates will definitely be on guard against him."

"Ah."

Zhu Lin nodded, "Have you checked out all the people from the Xu family who participated in the alchemy conference?"

"Check it out."

The seventh manager replied, "Few of the participants from the Xu family can threaten the young lady. However, this Xu Shi has Fang Heng and Zhu Heng to restrain it, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

"Ah."

Zhu Lin nodded again and smiled suddenly, "Who do you think will win in the gambling battle between Xu Shi and my Heng brother?"

"Xu Shi."

The seventh manager said seriously, "Although Zhu Heng has performed very well in recent times, no, he can even be described as creating miracles, but after all, he has suddenly emerged. Compared with people like Xu Shi who have been cultivated by stable resources all year round, There is still a certain gap.”

"That makes sense."

Zhu Lin smiled and said, "But this time, my brother Heng is not participating alone, there is also Fang Heng, and I will cooperate with him."

"Xu Shi will also find someone to cooperate."

Seven is in charge of affairs.

"Haha, so you think Xu Shi's side has a good chance of winning?"

Zhu Lin smiled.

"Yes."

"Then have you ever thought about what to do if Xu Shi loses?"

Zhu Lin smiled and said, "What will happen next?"

As soon as these words came out, the seventh manager was stunned, but couldn't say a word.

Xu Shi is the core of the Xu family and the representative of the Xu family. If Xu Shi loses, he will slap himself in front of the whole city and apologize to Zhu Heng.

The Zhu family will never agree to this matter!

"Haha, don't dare to think about it, but the more you dare not to think about it, the more you have to think about it." Zhu Lin said with a smile, "And you can't just think about what will happen if Xu Shi loses, but also think about what will happen if Zhu Heng loses. What changes have occurred? After all, Zhu Heng is the son of the eighth uncle. The eighth uncle will no longer be punished by his clan members. The eighth uncle is the eighth uncle after all. If the eighth uncle's son apologizes to the Xu family, doesn't that mean he bows to the Xu family? What about my Zhu family? How can you agree?"

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Manager Seven's expression also changed. It wasn't until this moment that he realized how serious this matter was!

"Then Miss, what should we do?"

"What to do? Nothing to do."

Zhu Lin smiled and said, "This kind of thing is obviously beyond my ability, so I won't think of a way, and I can't think of a good way. The only result is to wait."

"But if something big happens..."

"There must be a way before the car reaches the mountain."

Zhu Lin smiled and waved her hand, "We have nothing to do about this matter. The head of the family will naturally come up with a way. At the same time, the senior leaders of the Xu family and the head of the family will also come up with a way to get the best of both worlds. After all, our two families are both It’s useless to fight against the alchemy family.”

Hearing this, the seventh manager was stunned for a moment, and the next moment he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since the lady said that, then of course I don't have to worry."

"Haha, it's useless to worry. Then why worry? I'm telling you this just to let you know the real situation, so that you won't panic when something really happens."

Zhu Lin smiled again and said, "Okay, go down and keep a close eye on Fang Heng."

"Yes."

The seventh steward immediately nodded, then turned around and disappeared the next moment.

After the seventh steward disappeared, Zhu Lin's eyes in the courtyard turned cold.

"Humph, a servant is a servant. He doesn't understand the rules and is greedy. If I hadn't been short of people, I would have killed you old guy!"

There was a cold snort, but no one in the courtyard asked questions. Zhu Lin also shook her head after saying this, said no more, and began to sit up in the cross-legged position the next moment.

"hey-hey."

At the same time, while Zhu Lin was sitting cross-legged and resting, far away from Zhu Lin, in Zhu Heng's courtyard room, Fang Heng was looking at the mirror image on the water in front of him and laughing.

The picture in this sleeping scene is none other than Zhu Lin!

"Haha, what do you think?"

After continuing to watch for a while, Fang Heng looked at Zhu Lin and stopped talking. He smiled and asked Zhu Heng behind him.

Zhu Heng's face turned a little pale, and his face was full of seriousness.

"Unfathomable."

After spitting out the four words, Fang Heng immediately laughed, waved his palm, and the mirror image in front of him disappeared without a trace.

"Scared?"

Fang Heng asked with a smile at this time.

Zhu Heng was silent for a while, then finally nodded and said, "Afraid."

"very good."

Fang Heng nodded with a smile, "Fear is the reaction of smart people and the instinct to protect themselves. If you are afraid, you are right, because you know that this kind of woman is as powerful as the sea. If you really fight her, use your methods. You are no match for her."

"Compared to me, I care more about you, Fang Keqing."

Zhu Heng suddenly said, "From what I see on the surface, she respects you very much and wants to win over you, but I never expected that secretly she is so defensive about you. It can even be said that she is not defensive, but wary." .”

"It's normal here. After all, I'm an outsider. Anyone who doesn't take precautions is a fool."

Fang Heng smiled and said, "But, for someone like me, even if she is on guard, there is nothing she can do. If she is really that kind of extremely powerful guy, then she will not be able to detect it when we just observed her like this." △ ≧.*(.*)△≧,

"Then what do you mean? Do you want to question him? Or what?"

Zhu Heng said.

"Haha, questioning? How do you question something like this? You can only pretend you didn't hear it."

Fang Heng laughed loudly, "As for what I mean, I don't mean anything. I just want to remind you that Zhu Lin is a cruel woman, but she also knows how to tolerate it. She is a very powerful character for you, so you can't The good thing about confronting him is that he didn't humiliate you that much before. You two have no conflicts. If you want to develop smoothly in the future, just cooperate with her."

"What about you?"

Zhu Heng said seriously,

"Me? Haha, to me, she is nothing." Fang Heng said with a smile, "And there is no so-called cooperation with her, it is just a purely transactional relationship."
