In the reception room of Nangong Li, Xu Bo and the black slave were brought in by Chen Xiang.
“Elder Xu Bo, the president will be here soon. If you have something to discuss, just speak directly with the president. Don't beat around the bush, the president is very busy and doesn't have time to listen to your idle chatter.”
After leading the two to their seats, Chen Xiang said with a serious expression, showing a hint of impatience.
Having been reprimanded by Nangong Li previously, he felt a bit fearful and certainly wouldn't give the two a good expression.
Before long, Nangong Li walked in.
“Young Master Xu Bo from the Alchemy Pavilion, pays respects to President Nangong Li. If I have offended you, I hope President Nangong will forgive me.” As soon as Nangong Li entered, Xu Bo quickly stood up and said respectfully.
Even though he was currently the vice president of the Alchemy Pavilion, he knew very well how he had obtained this position. Compared to a top powerhouse like Nangong Li, there was still a significant gap.
Moreover, he was here to seek help, so he had to act low-key.
“Is it you who wants to see me?” Nangong Li glanced at Xu Bo and said indifferently, “This president is very busy. If you have nothing important to say and waste my time, don't think that because you are an elder of the Alchemy Pavilion, I won't do anything about you. Do you believe that if I killed you right now, Lord Zhuo wouldn't cause a scene for you?”
Nangong Li snorted coldly.
“Young Master understands, I have actually come here to seek help.” Xu Bo hurriedly said.
“If you want me to help you enhance your bloodline, then don’t bother. I'm very busy and don't have the time for that.” Nangong Li frowned; upon hearing that someone was here to seek help, he instinctively thought Xu Bo was asking for bloodline enhancement.
Nangong Li had seen far too many of these requests. As the president of the Bloodline Sacred Land, he was the most powerful bloodline master in the entire Da Wei Dynasty. Every day, he was bombarded with requests for help from powerful nobles, all of which he had turned away.
Now that Xu Bo had opened his mouth, he reflexively refused.
“President, you misunderstand. The reason I am here is not to enhance my bloodline.”
Seeing that Nangong Li was getting angry, Xu Bo's expression changed, and he hurriedly explained.
He was here to seek help for Qin Chen. Although he didn't know what Qin Chen had written in the letter to Nangong Li, he was anxious and didn't dare to provoke Nangong Li.
“Not for enhancing your bloodline? Then what is it for?” Nangong Li sneered.
A look of disdain appeared on his face. Though he didn't say much, the contempt in his tone was evident.
At this moment, the black slave couldn't stand it anymore.
He had heard of Nangong Li, known for his eccentric temper and extremely strong character, but he was also the president of the Bloodline Sacred Land with a noble status.
However, no matter how noble his status, they were here to seek an audience and shouldn’t be treated with such disrespect.
Moreover, before Qin Chen wrote this letter, he had specifically asked the black slave about Nangong Li, and was quite familiar with the details.
So, while Xu Bo was completely unaware of the contents of the letter, the black slave had some vague understanding and had already guessed Young Master Chen's purpose.
Furrowing his brow, he said in a deep voice, “President Nangong Li, we have come here because our Young Master has a letter to deliver to you.”
“Your Young Master?”
Nangong Li glanced at the black slave and sneered, “Who is your Young Master? Do I know him? In front of me, you dare to have such an attitude. Chen, show them out!”
With a wave of his hand, Nangong Li gave the order to expel them without further inquiry.
“President Nangong,” Xu Bo exclaimed anxiously, feeling extremely anxious in his heart, blaming the black slave for being so bold in front of Nangong Li. Didn’t he realize what their purpose was? By doing this, they would offend Nangong Li, and what would Young Master Chen do?
