Chapter 346 Military Experience
Zhou Xing's reminder was not groundless worry; it could even be said to be quite considerate of himself.
However, things that are useless to others are not useless in my hands.
Facing Zhou Xing's reminder, Chen Changfan smiled and replied, "Thank you for your concern, Master Zhou. I have a clever idea. Although the Red Flame Copper Mine is difficult to mine, its value is not low. As long as the mining and smelting technology is further improved, there should still be some profit to be made."
After hearing this, Zhou Xing still had doubts, but he said no more and just looked at Chen Changfan deeply.
This guy might actually have some solution.
After the deal was done, the banquet was coming to an end.
Everyone stood up and said goodbye. Chen Changfan saw them off to the door. Xiao Suchen pulled Chen Changfan aside and said something sneakily, "Friend Changfan, how much dragon blood do you have? Can you borrow some? I need it. As for your reward, come to my Taixu Pavilion tomorrow and I'll satisfy you."
Xiao Suchen spoke in a mysterious way, which made Chen Changfan a little curious.
What does this guy want to do with the dragon meat, and what kind of reward can he give me?
"Come to think of it, how much dragon blood do you have? I want all of it." Xiao Suchen's tone made Chen Changfan feel a little embarrassed. Does this guy really have money, or is he just trying to show off?
Chen Changfan recalled and vaguely remembered that the dragon's blood formed a large basin.
So, he nodded slightly without changing his expression, "I don't have much dragon blood here, but if I can put together a small bottle, it should be enough."
Xiao Suchen looked at Chen Changfan deeply, and for a moment he could not tell whether what he said was true or false, so he nodded and said, "Brother Changfan, please come to my Taixu Pavilion for a chat tomorrow."
After saying that, he took Ji Wenkong and turned into a clear light, disappearing with a cough.
Chen Changfan's mouth twitched slightly. He was almost coughing up blood, yet he was still pretending to be cool.
"Brother Chen, I'm leaving too."
Yue Lingfei had made a big deal today, so naturally she had no intention of continuing to drink here, and so she left early, which was unusual.
"Young friend Changfan, you can come visit my Water God Sect someday. I heard you like reading. It just so happens that we have quite a few fragments of ancient books in our library. I think you might be interested."
Bai Wei and Luo Qinglian smiled and nodded at Chen Changfan, then left gracefully.
Chen Changfan watched everyone leave, secretly wondering when he would go to the Water God Sect again and get some books from the library for free.
Everyone dispersed one after another, leaving only Zhou Xing standing there, as if he had something to say.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Xing shook his face and suddenly said with some embarrassment, "Friend Changfan, I want to redeem the spear that guards the mountain. Please name a price."
Sure enough, this guy didn't leave because he came for the spear.
It’s still good to have a master. If you get angry outside, you can go back and curry favor with him.
Now that Zhou Xingdu was speaking so politely to him, he couldn't afford to offend him, so he nodded and smiled, "Master Zhou has spoken, so how can I not give him this honor? Forget about the price. Just take the spear back. Come, bring up Yue Wukui's weapon."
Hearing this, Yue Zhenshan felt a little embarrassed, but in order to get his spear back, he still shamelessly played dumb.
Zhou Xing couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he heard that Chen Changfan returned the spear so readily.
If the other party had directly quoted a price, he would have paid the money without frowning, but the other party actually gave it away as a gift. This generosity stunned him.
How can you let the other party suffer such a loss?
Zhou Xing chuckled, his expression suddenly becoming much kinder. "Young friend Changfan not only possesses incredible talent in martial arts, but also possesses an extraordinary character. I can't just take the spear back like this. I must add something."
Chen Changfan actually expected Zhou Xing's reaction.
The more the other party is afraid of owing you something, the less likely you are to say what you want.
He actually wanted to learn the martial arts of Qinghe Martial Arts School, wanted to understand the current situation and conflicts in the world, and also wanted to make early plans for the future.
"Master Zhou, you are too polite. Our friendship is based on this. It would be awkward to talk about money. I will return the spear to Yue Zhenshan right away. Don't mention the money."
Chen Changfan deliberately put on an expression that said, "I'm going to get angry if you mention money again," but he was secretly muttering in his heart:
The free ones are the most expensive.
As expected, Zhou Xing, who realized that he might have taken advantage of Chen Changfan, felt a little ashamed after hearing this.
I am the owner of a museum, and it is really embarrassing to ask others for money like this.
This kid must be compensated.
Zhou Xing thought for a moment, and for a moment he couldn't think of what he could do to compensate the boy in front of him.
As for martial arts, the imperial court does not allow martial arts to be leaked.
As for money, he clearly said that he was not short of money. Even when 40 taels were placed in front of him, he didn't even blink an eye.
A woman, perhaps? But who could compare to Luo Qinglian of the Water God Cult? That girl seemed to have something wrong with the way she looked at Chen Changfan.
Then what else can I do to compensate?
"Master Zhou, I heard you came from a military background. Could you tell me about your military service?"
Just when Zhou Xing was still thinking hard, Chen Changfan directly asked a question. Zhou Xing was stunned, and then a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes.
His face was filled with reminiscence as he slowly spoke, "Back when I joined the army, the border was in turmoil. I followed the army on expeditions, experiencing dozens of battles and even life-or-death situations. I remember one time, the enemy attacked at night, and I led my troops to hold the line until dawn. I was seriously wounded in that battle, but we ultimately held our position. Thinking back on these experiences now, they are still vivid in my mind."
This guy was seriously injured before? I can't tell.
As if sensing the strangeness in Chen Changfan's gaze, Zhou Xing explained, "At that time, I had already reached the stairs, but it was only the first step. My life was hanging by a thread, and I managed to get through it entirely through my own perseverance."
As he spoke, Zhou Xing ripped open his collar, revealing a hideous scar below his neck. However, above the scar, there were obviously many fine and dense red lines, like the countless abdominal legs of a centipede.
This is obviously a scar that has been sutured. Okay, why do you say that you got through it all thanks to your own perseverance?
Chen Changfan laughed inwardly, but pretended to be amazed on the surface: "Master Zhou is truly a man of steel. Such perseverance is truly admirable."
"Logically speaking, with Master Zhou's strength as a Dengjie warrior, he should be difficult to be injured on the battlefield. Could it be that the other party is also a Dengjie warrior? Who are you fighting against?"
