Chapter 134 Meeting the Patriarch and the Story of Talia
"Did Brother Zhang Chen have a good rest last night?"
Honglian found Zhang Chen with a smile early in the morning and asked him how he felt.
"Very good."
Zhang Chen smiled and said, "Why are you going to take me to see your father now?"
"Of course, I told my father about your situation. My father blamed me for letting you live in an inn outside the city. I should have taken you home to live!"
"For this, my father scolded me!"
"Since your father wants to see me so much, let's meet him."
"See what surprise your father can bring me."
"Let's go, I'll take you there!"
In the morning, Zhang Chen saw a corner of Tianjing City.
Tianjing City is like a dream city.
There are mountains and waters in the city, but the buildings in the city are not abrupt, and are located in the mountains and waters.
There are towering stone houses and palaces everywhere, simple and profound.
"It's really beautiful!"
Zhang Chen said in admiration.
"Haha, Brother Zhang Chen, I've said it before, Tianjing City is the most beautiful city among the three capitals."
"After meeting my father, I'll take you around."
Zhang Chen nodded. The clan land of the Fire Red Emblem Clan occupies a large area on the top of the mountain.
The surrounding walls are all covered with the emblems of the Fire Red Emblem Clan.
Zhang Chen and Honglian walked through the gate and corridors. The corridors were full of fake mountains and water, beautiful and elegant.
"Here."
Honglian led Zhang Chen through the door of the inner room. Before Honglian introduced him, a handsome middle-aged man with fiery red hair who looked a bit like Honglian came out to greet him.
"Honglian, this is Zhang Chen, right!?"
"You didn't inform my father when you brought him here, so that my father could go out and greet him in person."
Honglian was stunned. He had never seen his father be so polite to anyone. He was completely different from his usual serious father.
"Meet the head of the Fire Red Emblem Clan."
Zhang Chen bowed lightly and said with a smile.
"No need to be polite, no need to be polite. You saved Lian'er, and I haven't thanked you for this yet."
The three entered the room, and the waiter served tea and sat down.
At this time, Honglian's father smiled and said, "If you don't mind, just call me Hongwu Big Brother."
At this time, it was Zhang Chen and Honglian's turn to be confused.
Honglian called him Big Brother, and Hongwu asked him to call him Big Brother. Isn't this a mess?
Who knew that Hongwu was very generous and said, "My son and I call each other!"
"He calls you Big Brother, and you call me Big Brother. You call him Brother and call me Brother!"
Zhang Chen was sweating wildly. What a mess.
Even if you don't care about seniority, you can't mess around like this!
Zhang Chen exhaled and said, "Master Hongwu, you asked me to come here today not just to thank me, right?"
"I think we should not say anything extra, let's get straight to the point."
Hongwu looked at Zhang Chen indifferently, then nodded and said to Honglian with a serious face, "Honglian, you go down first, I have something to talk to Mr. Zhang Chen alone."
Honglian nodded and glanced at Zhang Chen and then retreated.
As the heir of the Fire Red Emblem Family, he certainly knew what his father thought.
It's just that he disdains to win over Zhang Chen in the way that Lan Mo did.
In Honglian's view, making friends is to open your heart.
As long as you are sincere enough and treat each other honestly, even if you don't achieve the most desired result in the end, it won't be too bad!
After Honglian left, only Hongwu and Zhang Chen were left in the room.
Hong Wu said directly: "Mr. Zhang Chen, I heard from Lian'er that you killed a fourth-order lower-level monster with one strike?"
"And you are only 26 years old this year!"
"With such strength, you must be at least the best among the two-star combat forces!"
Zhang Chen nodded slightly and said: "Hong Lian is too kind."
"I won't beat around the bush with you."
"Mr. Zhang Chen, you have such a strong strength and are so young. I wonder what family power is behind you?"
"If not, my Fire Red Emblem clan is willing to invite you to become the worship elder of my clan."
"The annual treatment is the same as that of the general of the imperial capital, and a large amount of cultivation resources are available for you to use. Once you are promoted to three-star strength, my clan will absorb you as a member of the outside family and enjoy the same treatment as the head of the family!"
"I don't know what you think?"
The conditions offered by Hong Wu are very tempting. If it were someone else, they would not need to consider it and would definitely agree to it immediately.
But Zhang Chen has his own plans.
And for Zhang Chen, it is impossible to stay here forever. Sooner or later, he will leave.
This plane has little appeal to me, let alone any position in the Fire Red Emblem Family, which is just one of the nine emblem families!
"Master Hongwu, I can't agree to your request for the time being."
"But I have a request here. If you can do it for me, I will consider your proposal carefully."
Hongwu nodded and said, "You saved my Lian'er. You can ask for anything. Even if you don't want to stay in my Fire Red Emblem Family, it's okay."
"We won't force you."
Zhang Chen nodded. The Fire Red Emblem Family is quite generous.
"Do you know this person named Talia?"
"Also, I need five elements crystals. If you have any, I hope you can give me some."
"Trading is also OK."
"If there is no such thing, but I know the exact location, I can find a way myself."
Zhang Chen thought that the conditions he proposed were very simple, and Hong Wu should have no reason to refuse.
"Talia..."
Hong Wu frowned and said, "It seems that I have heard of this person's name."
"Talia should be in the three capitals, but it is too difficult for me to find him."
"Okay, I know, I promise you this matter, it's simple, I will let our clansmen help you find it."
"I dare not say that I can turn the other two cities upside down, but as long as this Talia is within my heavenly realm, I will definitely find him."
"As for the problem of the five elements crystal, it is a bit troublesome."
Hong Wu touched his chin and said, "This thing is strictly prohibited from flowing out, only the royal family of the imperial capital is qualified to enjoy it..."
"Even our nine emblem families don't have a piece."
"Only the royal family of the imperial capital knows the origin of this thing..."
"So I can't help."
Zhang Chen nodded, he didn't expect that the matter of the five elements crystal would be so troublesome.
"In that case, please take care of Talia's affairs, City Lord."
"Please inform me immediately if there is any news."
"During this period, I will stay in Tianjing City and wait for the good news from the City Lord!"
Hong Wu nodded and said, "These are all trivial matters. I will let Honglian take you to the financial warehouse later. You can pick out some things at will. Just consider it as our token of appreciation."
"Okay, then I won't be polite."
Zhang Chen's purpose is to take advantage of it. Who wouldn't take advantage of it?
However, Zhang Chen also understood that this was not the time for him to ask for too much. He still needed help from others and could not show it too much.
Otherwise, these people would think that he was a bumpkin from nowhere who had never seen good things!
