The real thigh is actually right next to me

This situation completely dumbfounded Zhou Shen.

"What's going on?"

This was a Third Grade Alchemist!

Looking at the entire Eastern Domain, he was a well-known important figure.

Now, he was bowing his head, fawningly pouring wine for someone.

Was this still the arrogant Third Grade Alchemist he had just met?

Where was the arrogance from before? The aloofness?

He really wanted to say: Hey, can you please go back to how you were just now?

I'm completely unaccustomed to you like this!

Just as boundless waves surged in Zhou Shen's heart.

Yang Tiancheng was also depressed.

Speaking of which, you already know two such formidable Alchemy King, why are you still rushing to curry favor with me?

Is it really that satisfying to slap my face with such a stark contrast?

He tremblingly filled the cups for Wu Yue and Shi Xiaotian.

"Seniors, I toast you both!"

Their expressions, however, darkened.

The hot-tempered Shi Xiaotian even frowned and reprimanded: "Didn't you see our Peak Master still sitting there? What do you mean by only pouring wine for the two of us?"

"Could it be that you don't have our Peak Master in your eyes?"

For the two of them, Zhong Qing was the most respected existence.

Disrespecting Zhong Qing was far more serious than slapping their faces.

As these words came out.

Yang Tiancheng's heart trembled, and his scalp nearly went numb with shock.

To be honest, regarding Zhong Qing, he truly hadn't looked him in the eye at first.

In his opinion, the other party was just like Zhou Shen, merely another young person rushing to curry favor with him.

Yang Tiancheng never expected it.

The two dignified Alchemy King's attitude towards Zhong Qing was actually so... humble!

Where did this great god come from?

But now was not the time to think about such things.

He held the wine pot with both hands, trembling as he came before Zhong Qing.

He carefully opened his mouth and said: "Sen... Senior, let me fill your cup!"

To be honest, Yang Tiancheng's hands had never trembled so much in his life.

He recalled his previous attitude towards Zhong Qing.

The more he thought about it, the more his heart pounded with fear.

Since he came in, he hadn't given the other person a good look.

If the other party were to hold it against him, just based on the attitude and status of the two Alchemy King.

Even if they beat him to death on the spot, Pill Cauldron Pavilion probably wouldn't trouble them.

Fortunately, Zhong Qing also had no intention of holding it against him.

He raised his wine cup and remotely toasted Zhou Shen.

"Brother Zhou, why are you frozen? Come drink!"

At this moment, Zhou Shen's shock was even greater than Yang Tiancheng's.

Especially seeing Wu Yue and the other's attitude and address towards Zhong Qing, he was so stunned that he couldn't recover.

He only felt that life was unpredictable, like a big intestine wrapping a small one.

His original intention was to bring Zhong Qing to curry favor with Yang Tiancheng.

Who would have thought that Yang Tiancheng wouldn't even dare to breathe heavily in front of the two people beside Zhong Qing?

And those two regarded Zhong Qing as supreme.

Good heavens!

By this point, how could he not understand that Zhong Qing was not some small fry at all?

After all, the two old men accompanying him could make a Third Grade Alchemist act like this.

So Zhong Qing's background must be extraordinarily significant!

"Uh, I, okay, I'll drink it all, you do as you please!"

Hearing Zhong Qing's voice, the dazed Zhou Shen snapped out of it, and without another word.

He picked up the wine cup and gulped it down in one go, seemingly trying to alleviate the shock in his heart.

However.

The strong liquor entered his stomach like a ball of fire, burning his mouth and tongue dry, making his blood boil, still making it difficult for his heart to calm down.

He had always wanted to find a big leg to cling to.

He never expected that the real big leg was right beside him.

But fortunately.

As several rounds of clinking cups and exchanging toasts came, the atmosphere gradually livened up, and Zhou Shen also relaxed quite a bit.

But Yang Tiancheng, who should have been the focus of everyone's attention, became a marginalized figure.

Like a servant, he continuously poured wine for everyone.

Among them, Zhou Shen was naturally included.

This act made him feel somewhat flattered.

After all, this was a Third Grade Alchemist!

For such a person to humble himself and pour wine for him, this matter alone was enough for him to brag about for a year.

At the same time, he became even more curious about the identities of Zhong Qing and the other two.

He found it hard to imagine what kind of status and strength it would take for a Third Grade Alchemist to lower his stance like this.

Could it be that these two in front of him were Four-Rank Alchemists?

"Hiss..."

Just thinking about drinking at the same table with Four-Rank Alchemists made his little heart tremble, and he exclaimed that he couldn't take it.

He had never in his life come into contact with such important figures.

To clarify what was on his mind.

His gaze was fervent as he raised his cup to Wu Yue and Shi Xiaotian and toasted them.

"Two Seniors, come, I toast you both!"

However, just as he raised his cup, Wu Yue directly waved his hand and said: "No, no, it's more appropriate for you to call us old brothers."

"Hahaha, yes, yes, yes."

Beside him, Shi Xiaotian also quickly chimed in.

Just kidding.

Their Peak Master was on equal terms with Zhou Shen.

If they were to accept the title of Senior, wouldn't that make them a generation older than their Peak Master? They wouldn't dare.

"Since the two of you insist, then I won't be polite, then I'll call you two old brothers, hahaha."

At this moment, Zhou Shen was already a bit tipsy, and his courage had naturally grown quite a bit.

If it were in the past, even if others asked him to, he wouldn't dare.

So he continued to ask: "By the way, two old brothers, today I originally wanted to introduce Little Yang to you, but who would have thought that you already knew each other?"

"Fate is truly wonderful, I wonder, how did you two Seniors meet Little Yang?"

The original 'Old Yang' was now directly demoted to 'Little Yang' in Zhou Shen's mouth.

Yang Tiancheng, who was pouring wine, twitched at the corner of his mouth upon hearing this.

If Zhou Shen had dared to be so disrespectful to him before, he would have definitely made the other party understand why flowers were so red, and what cruelty was.

However, now!!

He could only endure it.

He couldn't act up at all.

Because it was he himself who had asked Zhou Shen to call him 'Little Yang'.

At the table, Wu Yue and Shi Xiaotian clinked cups with Zhou Shen.

A friend made by their Peak Master was naturally worthy of their high regard.

Wu Yue drank it all and replied.

"It's not really 'knowing' him; when we went to register for the Five-Rank Alchemist assessment previously, this person was responsible for reception, so we met once."

At these words!

Zhou Shen's expression was enlightened.

He wore an 'as expected' look.

To aspire to be a Alchemy King, one naturally needed the strength of a Four-Rank Alchemist.

No wonder Yang Tiancheng was so humble in front of the two of them.

For a moment, his gaze towards the two became even more fervent.

Four-Rank Alchemists!

Within the entire Pill Cauldron Pavilion, such existences were powerful and influential figures.

"I wonder, two old brothers, how were your assessment results this time?"

He suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked.

Because in the Eastern Domain, there hadn't been a Five-Rank Alchemy King for a thousand years.

And because Pill Cauldron Pavilion had sealed the news of the two becoming Alchemy King.

He subconsciously thought that the two had naturally not been promoted.

The reason for asking this was simply to start a topic.

The other party failed to advance to Five-Rank, and he, on the other hand, was directly disqualified from the assessment due to giving gifts.

People who fail in the same matter can always bring up many topics and resonate with each other.

This can subtly bring people closer.

This was a small conversational skill he had summarized.

Shi Xiaotian smiled and responded: "A mere Five-Rank Alchemist assessment, isn't it just a piece of cake!"

"Actually, you failed..."

Zhou Shen subconsciously began to comfort him.

But halfway through, he couldn't continue.

"Cough cough..."

His prepared myriad words of comfort were directly choked back into his stomach.

His eyes widened like a cowbell.

"You... you passed the assessment!"

He had a look of shock.

The waves in his heart were like a tsunami ravaged by an eighteen-level typhoon, incredibly violent.

If a Four-Rank Alchemist was already a towering figure in his eyes.

Then a Five-Rank Alchemist was definitely a legendary existence.

A Domain that ordinary people could not touch.

So, he wasn't drinking with a Four-Rank Alchemist, but rather calling a Five-Rank Alchemy King 'brother'?!

If his deceased father knew, he would probably be so excited he'd jump out of his grave, bounce around a bit, and then lie back down!
