Legendary Armament Canon

Chapter 1282 Underwater Undercurrents, Coming To His Door (2)

Zhan Jingtao's eyes narrowed slightly as he sized up Zhou Shu and said coldly, "Do you really just want to see Mu Zhixing captured?"

Zhou Shu's heart skipped a beat. As expected, every big shot isn't easy to deal with. My impatience still aroused his suspicion.

Zhou Shu said seriously, "Commander Zhan, you want to hear the truth?"

"Whether you say it or not is up to you." Zhan Jingtao was noncommittal, but his attitude was obvious. If Zhou Shu wanted to follow them, he had to show his sincerity.

"Then, I'll be honest." Zhou Shu sighed. "Commander Zhan, you might not know this, but my refining skills have already reached a bottleneck. I only need to forge a few more dharma treasures to reach the next level.

"But now that Mu Zhixing had emptied our warehouse, not only have I been implicated by not having any refining materials to use, but because of this, my master flew into a rage and severely punished us!

"Don't you think I'd hate Mu Zhixing under such circumstances?"

"Yes, but it has nothing to do with what we're talking about." Zhan Jingtao wasn't so easily fooled.

"Alright, I'll confess!" Zhou Shu gritted his teeth, as if he had made a very difficult decision.

"Mu Zhixing killed my master's illegitimate son! As far as I know, my master's lifelong refining insights were with his illegitimate son! After he died, his refining insights disappeared. It was clearly taken away by Mu Zhixing."

Zhou Shu looked around and lowered his voice. "I don't expect to get the refining insights. I only ask that after you capture Mu Zhixing, I can have a few hours to read the insights before my master arrives!

"If I am able to do this, you will be my benefactor. If my refining skills can improve in the future, I will definitely not forget your kindness!"

Zhou Shu cupped his hands, his expression extremely serious.

Zhan Jingtao looked at Zhou Shu in understanding. So that's how it is.

I knew it. A mere refining disciple insists on following the Golden Dragon Guards to capture Mu Zhixing. I can't be as simple as venting his anger.

It turns out this is the reason.

Wu Suchen didn't tell me what Mu Zhixing had in his hands.

This old fellow is indeed narrow-minded. He's afraid that I'll peek at his refining insights.

Zhan Jingtao snorted. Although Wu Suchen was the number one refiner in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, he was narrow-minded and famous for being envious of the virtuous and talented.

As the commander of the Golden Dragon Guards, he had seen Wu Suchen kill more than one genius refiner with his own eyes. He was afraid that they could surpass him.

It was precisely because of this that Wu Suchen had many enemies, so he didn't dare to publicize his illegitimate son's identity. He was afraid that others would take revenge on his illegitimate son.

Unfortunately, the wheel of karma spared no one.

In the end, his illegitimate son was still killed.

Zhan Jingtao had no sympathy for Wu Suchen at all. If not for the fact that Wu Suchen's refining skills were indeed unparalleled, Zhan Jingtao wouldn't be willing to deal with him.

He looked down on Wu Suchen from the bottom of his heart!

With this thought in mind, the corners of Zhan Jingtao's mouth curled up slightly. Wu Suchen was afraid that others would surpass him, so he held back even when teaching his disciples. It was no wonder his disciple had such thoughts.

"Since you're so sincere, I'll agree to your request," Zhan Jingtao said.

He really wanted to see what Wu Suchen's expression would be like if this little disciple's refining skills surpassed his one day!

At the thought of this, Zhan Jingtao really wanted to help this little disciple. "Um, what's your name?"

Zhou Shu cupped his hands. "I am Ding Chunming."

"Ding Chunming? You're not bad. You have a bright future." Zhan Jingtao smiled and patted Zhou Shu's shoulder. "Work hard. I look forward to seeing you become the number one refiner in the world one day."

"No, no. I wouldn't dare to have such extravagant hopes…" Zhou Shu said in fear.

"That won't do," Zhan Jingtao said with a straight face. "I'm not taking the risk of offending Master Wu to help you because I want to help an ordinary person. A man should always be ready to take on arduous tasks.

"I have seen countless people with my eyes. As soon as I saw you, Brother Ding, I knew that you were definitely an exceptional person!"I think you should take a look at

Zhou Shu hurriedly said, "No, no. Commander, please don't call me 'brother'. I'm really not worthy."

Zhan Jingtao was the commander of the Golden Dragon Guards. In terms of status, he wasn't inferior to Wu Suchen.

In a sense, Zhan Jingtao's status was higher than Wu Suchen's.

But Wu Suchen's status was special. He was a refiner, and many times, even Zhan Jingtao had to beg him.

This was just like how a person had to beg a doctor when they were sick no matter how high their official position was…

Ding Chunming was only an in-name disciple of Wu Suchen. Compared to a big shot like Zhan Jingtao, he was an out-and-out nobody.

How could he be qualified for Zhan Jingtao to call him 'brother'?

Zhan Jingtao didn't mind. As long as he could cause trouble for Wu Suchen, so what if he acknowledged him as a little brother?

From this, it was evident how much Zhan Jingtao hated Wu Suchen.

"Are you looking down on me?" Zhan Jingtao glared at him.

"Of course not," Zhou Shu said.

"Alright, it's settled then. You, Ding Chunming, will be my little brother from now on!" Zhan Jingtao said.

"However, with your current status, if others know about your relationship with me, Grandmaster Wu will inevitably give you a hard time. In private, we will address each other as brothers. When outsiders are present, you can call me commander. When you become the number one refiner in the world, we won't have to worry about anything."

"Commander…" Zhou Shu pretended to be touched.

"You're still calling me commander? Call me big brother!" Zhan Jingtao pretended to be angry.

Zhou Shu was touched. If he was really Ding Chunming, he would definitely be willing to die for him!

"Big Brother!" Zhou Shu's expression was rich, but he was sneering in his heart.

This Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom is really interesting.

The commander of the Golden Dragon Guards and the number one refiner actually dislike each other.

Is this possible?

Zhou Shu pondered.

He had already achieved his main goal of coming to the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom. If he could weaken the strength of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom at the same time, why not?

The commander of the Golden Dragon Guards, Zhan Jingtao, and the number one refiner of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom were not small fries.

The two of them were top existences in their respective camps. If they had a conflict, the people under them wouldn't be calm.

"Brother, go back and get ready. I'll go tell Wu Suchen. We'll set off immediately," Zhan Jingtao said. "Brother, we have to get what's beneficial to you as soon as possible."

"Big Brother, my master…" Zhou Shu looked worried.

"Don't worry. Leave it to me." Zhan Jingtao smiled. "Wu Suchen is asking me for a favor. It's not too much for me to ask for a refiner to accompany the army. He can't refuse, nor does he dare to refuse!"

Zhan Jingtao looked confident. The warehouse had been emptied, and Wu Suchen was already overwrought. He still had to count on the Golden Dragon Guards to get the items back.

At this moment, not to mention asking him for a disciple to follow the army, even if Zhan Jingtao wanted to sleep with Wu Suchen's wife, Wu Suchen would have to pinch his nose and accept it!

Of course, he didn't have such special hobbies.

Moreover, there was no need for him to offend Wu Suchen.

"Thank you, Big Brother," Zhou Shu said emotionally, "If the day I, Ding Chunming, achieve something, I will definitely refine an unparalleled dharma treasure for you! At that time, if you have any orders, I will go through mountains of blades and seas of fire. If I even frown, then I am not human!"

Zhou Shu raised his hand and swore. In any case, the person who made the oath was Ding Chunming, and it had nothing to do with Zhou Shu. So what if it was a vicious oath?
