Chapter 377 - 378: Pill Country’s Big Shot
Xu Dong’s face flushed, but having faced many trials, he swiftly regained his composure.
The room was filled with important figures. In front of so many people, Xu Dong wanted to back down, but he still couldn’t completely save his face.
"Chief Mu, you misunderstand me, that’s not what I meant. I just think that a Second-level Alchemist definitely wouldn’t be helpful. Moreover, the fewer people who know about this matter the better, you must be aware of that too. The more people who know, the greater the chance of a leak, which would have severe consequences," Xu Dong’s tone was much softer, but it was clear he was trying to regain some dignity.
"Vice President Xu Dong, of course, I understand the importance of this matter. However, I can vouch for Jing Yan’s character and temperament. If Jing Yan couldn’t be trusted, why would I bring him here? It would be best not to doubt my judgment," Mu Liantian said with a cold laugh.
"Heh, let me say a word too. Jing Yan is a Pill Master of the Alchemist Association. Although only a Second-level Alchemist, Jing Yan has unique insights into the Alchemy Dao. I have a fairly good understanding of him; he’s quite steady," Liu Wen said with a smile at this moment.
A glint of anger flashed in Xu Dong’s eyes upon hearing Liu Wen.
"Alright! Gentlemen, let’s end the idle talk. Since Chief Mu holds this young man in such high regard, I trust he has his reasons."
"I believe you all know why I’ve called you here. My father’s situation is very tricky, and I ask for your utmost effort," Zhou Shangyun waved his hand as he addressed everyone.
Then, he turned to the old man beside him.
"Pill King Ji Yue, I truly appreciate your assistance this time," Zhou Shangyun said bowing slightly to the old man.
