"How the hell did Niu Xi get so damn lucky?"
In the end, Zhu Mei stopped making a scene and just spat those words out with a scowl.
On the other side, Zhu Zhen shot Niu Xi a long, meaningful look, then broke into a smile. "Actually, there is something I need your help with. Didn't you get pretty close to Alchemist Lu before? Lately, because of some things, Zhu Er's relationship with Alchemist Lu has cooled off a bit, so I need you to help smooth things over."
Niu Xi was stunned for a moment, unable to figure out who this "Alchemist Lu" was.
He just didn't think of Lu Chang'sheng at all.
Sure, Lu Chang'sheng knew his way around alchemy, but theory and hands-on skill were two different things. And even if he passed the test, the Zhu Family wouldn't pay him this much attention.
Zhu Zhen noticed Niu Xi's utterly shocked expression—the guy wasn't faking it. His heart sank.
Could it be their relationship wasn't as strong as he thought?
