The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 1591: Chapter 1689: Reunion at the East Pole

“There’s no need for that, Cheng, Heaven King has such status, why would he fuss over trifles with you?” Fang Lin said smilingly as he pulled up Cheng Jinhai, who was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.

Cheng Jinhai didn’t dare even glance at the East Pole Heaven King, feeling a lingering fear in his heart. If the Heaven King were truly angered, not even nine lives would suffice to make up for it.

The disheveled East Pole Heaven King also smiled at Cheng Jinhai as he said, “This old guy here is indeed somewhat negligent in keeping up appearances, can’t blame you for that.”

“Thank you, Heaven King!” Only upon hearing these words did Cheng Jinhai finally relax, bowing continuously to the East Pole Heaven King.

“Keep a good watch here; I have some matters to discuss with the Heaven King,” Fang Lin instructed, then he and the East Pole Heaven King walked into the courtyard together, with Cheng Jinhai promptly agreeing and thoughtfully closing the courtyard door behind Fang Lin.

“This Master Fang is truly no ordinary person; it’s a big deal that the Prince of Tang Country himself paid a visit, not to mention a major figure like the East Pole Heaven King coming personally. For me, Cheng, to even speak with the Heaven King is unexpected.” Cheng Jinhai mumbled to himself, feeling a thrill of delight after his prior scare, as if having a conversation with such an important figure was a great honor.

And indeed it was so. For someone like Cheng Jinhai, who was neither high nor low in status, there were many like him across the Nine Countries. Heng Long Mountain was also an inconsequential place with a minor sect. In the past, the most significant figure Cheng Jinhai had ever met was perhaps an Elder or a Sect Master from some large sects of Tang Country.
