Full-Time Magister: What kind of demonic tree is this? It's clearly a sacred tree!

Chapter 137 Acquaintances

The woman in the blue dress with ripples was of mixed race, possessing the striking features of people from the Yura region as well as the gentle elegance of Chinese people. Her polite yet resolute attitude left Zhao Manyan momentarily stunned.

"Let's go next door!" Zhang Chen said to Zhao Manyan when he saw the woman's firm attitude.

Mo Fan and Zhang Chen were laughing so hard they could hardly contain themselves, while Zhao Manyan's face turned black.

Normally, Mo Fan and Zhang Chen are incredibly strong, and Zhao Manyan is almost no match for them. Now that he has finally arrived at his home turf, he has been met with setbacks all the way.

Zhao Manyan could no longer suppress his anger. He sat down on the sofa, which was made of velvet, his face full of pride and stubbornness.

He threw a tantrum, saying, "Hmph, although Zhao Youqian is in charge of everything here, please understand that I'm not without any say in the matter. I want this place today. If there are any problems, let Zhao Youqian come and tell me himself. Is there any important guest who's more important than me?"

The woman in the blue dress was stunned. How could she have imagined that Zhao Manyan would act so unruly!

"Why are you doing this? It's all your own business. The person Chairman Zhao specially went out to greet must be a very important guest. If your actions lead to the failure of the business, you won't be able to explain it to the clan council," the woman in the blue ripple dress advised.

"Is this something you need to worry about?" Zhao Manyan said bluntly.

"Old Zhao, let's go next door. The environment there is quite nice too," Mo Fan suggested.

"That's right, since your brother has important guests, I'll go next door!" Zhang Chen said. "This room is fine. Let Zhao Youqian go next door to discuss his business. I've come all this way, so I can choose whichever room I want."

"I don't even care about this royal palace guest room. What I'm annoyed by is your attitude. I can tolerate Zhao Youqian giving me a hard time—he's my older brother, so I put up with it. But who do you think you are, telling me to leave just because you say so?!"

Zhao Manyan was burning with anger and could not be persuaded with a few words. He cursed directly.

"Calm down, everyone, calm down!"

Zhang Chen smiled and used his mental power to soothe everyone. He then looked at the mixed-race woman in the blue dress, whose mood had calmed down, and said, "You'd better hurry up and tell someone to go next door and set things up! If we're late, it'll really cause problems!"

As if suddenly realizing something, she immediately led the other waiters to the next room to make the arrangements.

"A spoiled brat like you has the right to throw a tantrum, but if you do that, your dad will definitely beat you a lot!" Mo Fan laughed.

"That was before. Now I'm a member of the National Team, not just a freeloader, okay?" Zhao Manyan said.

"No wonder a lazy person like you works so hard at cultivation. Otherwise, without being a member of the National Team, you probably wouldn't even have the confidence to throw a tantrum." Zhang Chen laughed. "That's right. I accepted their disdain before. Back then, I really didn't do anything serious except spend money on girls. Now I'm a high-level mage, a member of the National Team, a pillar of the nation, a rising star. The clan council might even set up a chair for me. What are these guys from my brother's group doing, putting on airs?"

Zhao Manyan said matter-of-factly, "Zhang Chen's nose twitched, and his brows furrowed slightly. Why does it smell so bad? It seems quite familiar!"

Not long after, dragging footsteps came from outside the door. As the footsteps grew louder, the stench became stronger.

Zhang Chen finally remembered who this was. Wasn't that the wicked woman from the ancient capital who made deals with the Black Vatican? He hadn't expected Zhao Youqian's distinguished guest to be her. Oh right, she still owed them a favor. It seemed her identity wasn't as simple as she had initially claimed.

As Zhang Chen thought this, his mental power rippled outwards, silently entering the mental world of the wicked woman who had walked to the door next door.

Asha's left eyelid twitched involuntarily as she stood outside the door. She paused at the doorway, rubbed her temples, and a sudden feeling of unease welled up inside her.

A good feeling.

Just as she paused, mental energy entered her spiritual world. This familiar feeling instantly reminded her of that shameless bastard from the ancient capital. She actively engaged with the mental energy, and the next second, a voice that made her grit her teeth rang out: "You stinky woman, when are you going to repay our favor?"

She had no intention of paying him any attention and went straight into the next room. She frowned upon seeing the decorations, but a mischievous thought quickly formed in her mind. Pretending to be somewhat angry, she said to Zhao Youqian, "Is this how your Zhao family treats its guests? I see you have absolutely no sincerity. Let's call off this deal!"

Then, turning to leave, Zhao Youqian smiled and pointed to the room Zhang Chen and the others had seen, saying, "It was all my brother's fault for being so ignorant! This was the room I had arranged for you, but he threw a tantrum and took it all. I only just found out! Could you do me the honor of coming another day—"

"I don't have that much time! I think you need to really teach your brother a lesson, and stop him from hanging out with those shady characters! —"

Asha's tone softened somewhat.

Having been in the business world for so many years, Zhao Youqian was highly skilled at reading people and said, "You're right! I'll go and teach him a lesson right away—"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Chen came out of the room, casually closing the door behind him, and interrupted him irritably, "Long time no see! You wretched woman! You really hold a grudge! All we asked you for was a few pieces of information! And you still owe us a favor! Hurry up and pay it back!"

Asha'ruya immediately launched into a tirade: "You utterly shameless bastard! —"

Zhang Chen smiled slightly, did not argue with her, and extended his right hand to give her a friendly gesture!

Asha's shoulders heaved violently, her face flushed, and the profanity in her mouth was stuck in her throat by her expression, which seemed to say: Look, there's a shrew here.

Zhao Youqian then realized that the two knew each other and seemed to have a lot of animosity. They must have somehow discovered each other's existence, which led to the scene just now.

I clearly didn't say there were other people inside—it turns out they wanted to use me to embarrass them!

After calming down for a while, Asharuya realized that it was pointless to reason with this kind of person.

At this moment, a girl also came out of the room. It turned out that Mu Nujiao was worried about Zhang Chen and came out to check on him.

Since Zhang Chen had just closed the door and there was a sound-based magic array in the room, the people inside couldn't hear Asha's swearing. When Mu Nujiao came out, she only noticed that the atmosphere between Zhang Chen and Asha was a bit off, and she didn't know what had happened.

When Asha Ruya saw the girl next to Zhang Chen hugging him, and their relationship seemed quite intimate, and remembering the purpose of her visit, another plan suddenly came to mind.

She smiled charmingly, putting on a rather helpless expression: "Alright! Since you're in such a hurry, I'll repay your favor first! But you know I'm an information broker, so I can only give you some information."

Zhang Chen wondered what kind of bad intentions this person might have, but decided to listen first.

Zhang Chen gestured for them to come inside for a detailed discussion, and she followed Zhang Chen and the others inside with a mischievous smile on her lips.

Outside, only a bewildered Zhao Youqian remained, standing in the wind, completely stunned. "You guys changed your tune so quickly? Wait, wasn't I supposed to be discussing business with her? What's going on?" ————
