Chapter 163 Perhaps we'll have an unexpected gain tonight. (shuhaige.net)



Gu Xu saw the pain in her eyes and offered to explain, "I can't let this ticking time bomb stay alive. If we can kill him, that would be best; if not, the Xiangshi Xuanmen will do everything they can to keep him trapped here in order to get that bonus."

It was Mingzhuo's offer of a reward to the public for clues that inspired him. Mingzhuo only wanted to force the other party to have nowhere to hide and to take the initiative to come to her door.

However, he wanted to issue a Xuanmen kill order so that the other party would never have the chance to cause trouble for Mingzhuo.

He's a businessman; if spending money can bring him peace of mind, he'll naturally choose to spend it.

He Wangyao thought for a moment and said, "Boss, you won't get this reward. Our tickets are for tomorrow to go back to Yunwu City."

Mingzhuo knew, of course, that he couldn't miss the Xuanmen Academic Exchange Conference and had to go back tomorrow.

With only half an afternoon and an evening, it seems there's really not much that can be done.

Gu Xu had arranged to meet a client at a nearby teahouse to discuss business, and seeing that it was almost time, he went there first.

The three of them were left behind to listen to the extermination ceremony.

The people here don't speak Mandarin; they speak the local language or English.

He Wangyao acted as the translator.

Mingzhuo sat in the last row and listened for a while, but found that none of these people had any constructive comments.

However, Gu Xu's idea was correct. Those people's first priority was to check places like airports and ports, trying to trap people in Hong Kong and catch them like turtles in a jar.

She listened for a while and then got bored. Just as she was about to get up and tell everyone to leave, she suddenly heard a voice say, "Stop!"

This wasn't said in Mandarin, so Mingzhuo decided to pretend he didn't understand and continued walking.

Several staff members from the organizers suddenly surrounded them and blocked their way.

"Young Master Jiang told you to stop, didn't you hear me?" someone shouted in Mandarin.

Mingzhuo had no choice but to turn around and smile. "Sorry, I don't understand. Is there something you need?"

Jiang Yuncheng walked over, raised his chin and looked at her with an arrogant gaze, as if he disdained to talk to her, and instead spoke to the middle-aged man beside him.

"Go ask them what they're doing here? How did they sneak in?"

The middle-aged man was the same one who had just reprimanded them. He looked at Jiang Yuncheng with a fawning expression and hurriedly repeated the sentence in Mandarin.

He Wangyao mentally cursed, "I knew it! This guy's starting to show off!"

Some old-fashioned people think they are superior just because they know a few words of Hong Kong dialect or English, and they disdain to communicate with people who only speak Mandarin.

He Wangyao was treated like this a lot when she was little. When they saw that you couldn't understand, they would have their assistants or servants act as translators, and they would think that it was a kind of thoughtful care for you.

In reality, they are just putting on airs, feeling that they are of noble status and superior to others.

Mingzhuo thought for a moment and thought, "So what if you can speak a local dialect? Everyone knows multiple languages."

She frankly said in the local dialect of Yunwu City, "Although I have no obligation to tell you, I can tell you openly that of course you came in."

The middle-aged man's face stiffened; he couldn't understand this at all.

He Wangyao quickly realized what was going on and thought to herself, "Boss, this is brilliant! Your language is so noble, but our Yunwu language is so lowly?"

If that's the case, then everyone should just keep up the act.

He took it upon himself to act as the translator, and hurriedly imitated the middle-aged man, repeating the sentence in Mandarin.

Jiang Yuncheng: "..."

He was so angry that he gave up pretending and switched to Mandarin, "Stop playing dumb. I'm asking how you guys got in here. Did you come here to steal information and learn from others?"

Mingzhuo looked surprised: "Don't you speak Mandarin? I thought the summoning bell from last night had some aftereffects, making you forget how to speak Mandarin."

Jiang Yuncheng's face turned green. Wasn't this an insult that he couldn't even withstand a single blow from the Soul-Summoning Bell?

"How dare you speak to Young Master Jiang like that?" The middle-aged man hurriedly stepped forward and scolded him.

Li Wenhe stepped forward, not to be outdone: "How dare you speak to my boss like that?"

The commotion was quite loud, causing people in front to turn around and look.

"Yuncheng, what happened?" someone asked.

Jiang Yuncheng: "It's nothing. A few Taoist masters from the mainland also want to participate in this exorcism activity."

"Is that so?" the person who asked the question switched to Mandarin and said, "Then please, esteemed guests who have come from afar, sit down. I hope that by pooling our wisdom and efforts, we can bring Shen Ruodi to justice as soon as possible."

Mingzhuo glanced at the people on the stage from afar.

The other person was wearing a bright yellow Buddhist robe and glasses. He was probably older than Jiang Yuncheng and likely an elder in his family.

His attitude was quite humble, presenting an open and win-win approach, but the people below didn't think so.

This time, the reward is fifty million! Only those who kill or capture Shen Ruodi can receive this money.

Everyone here is a competitor, and this person who just wandered in out of nowhere is here to steal our business!

This is going too far! They're even stealing business from the incense market. Do they even respect the Xuanmen sect in the incense market?

However, upon seeing that the three people were very young, he immediately became disdainful.

This isn't a matter of whether we take it seriously or not; it's downright ignorance!

The crowd immediately looked at Mingzhuo with disdain, regarding her as someone who lacked ability and was merely trying to attract attention.

Mingzhuo thought for a moment, then suddenly turned around and sat down in the same spot again.

Jiang Yuncheng was shocked: "What are you doing? Get out of here right now!"

How dare you sit down?

Mingzhuo: "The person upstairs invited me to sit down. If you have a different opinion, why don't I ask him for you if he agrees to you kicking me out?"

She acted immediately, raising her hand to stand up.
