Nie Yuchen couldn't explain why, but he felt inexplicably happy. He closed the car door, thoughtfully fastened Mingluo's seatbelt, and then started the car, heading towards where Master Gu was.
It was an old house in a very peaceful environment.
From the outside, it is extremely inconspicuous.
The gray walls look no different from other old houses.
However, upon closer inspection, it appears different.
To the left of the house is an artificial water channel, which is the Azure Dragon. To the south is a wide road. In feng shui, this means that the road leads to prosperity and good fortune.
Four inconspicuous dragon heads are carved at the east, west, south, and north corners of the house, forming a four-star dragon formation that protects the house and creates an auspicious layout.
Once inside, the interior is even more exquisite, with pavilions, terraces, and towers surrounded by mountains and water, exuding elegance and mystery.
It further emphasizes the word "rich".
Mingluo thinks the house is worth probably over a billion.
She felt her poverty even more acutely...
Nie Yuchen keenly noticed Mingluo's envy and asked, "Do you want it?"
“Occupying a private residence is illegal!” Mingluo glanced at him sideways, remembering that she and her disciples had seized the mountain in the God Realm.
The realm of gods is wonderful!
Nie Yuchen: "..."
Is he misunderstanding something?
Master Gu came out to greet them from afar. He first greeted Nie Yuchen, then looked at Ming Luo with a complicated expression and sighed, "Miss Ming, let's go inside and talk."
Minglu nodded.
Inside, a male disciple dressed in Taoist robes was brewing tea, his movements elegant and fluid, quite graceful. On the other side, someone was playing the zither, its melodious notes extremely refined.
Master Gu invited the two to a private room on the other side, where they could hear the sound of a zither and see the tea being brewed. Once the tea was brewed, it floated over from a small, man-made stream for people to drink, creating a scene reminiscent of the "Floating Wine Cups on a Winding Stream" tradition.
This exquisite elegance is truly unique.
Mingluo finally felt a bit like she was in the divine realm again.
After drinking three cups of tea, Master Gu shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Mingluo, what should I do now? It's one thing that you offended Old Lin; he's a bit stingy, but he cherishes his treasures. If I give him more treasures, he'll calm down. But you've offended Old Zhao, what should I do?"
He only learned of Master Zhao's injury this morning, and when he called him, Master Zhao had already fainted.
Zhao Tianshi's disciple lacked self-control and mentioned Mingluo's name, only then realizing that Zhao Tianshi had actually fought with Mingluo.
He was greatly shocked.
Mingluo's magic was enough to make Zhao Tianshi vomit blood, so she could probably beat him too.
As the president of the Xuanmen Association, he had to resolve this matter, otherwise he would lose his prestige and the Xuanmen would fall apart.
Therefore, he could only contact Mingluo to resolve the issue.
Fortunately, Mingluo gave him face and he came.
But he truly didn't know what to do.
He had high hopes for Mingluo. Firstly, because Mingluo herself possessed the strength to dispel the bad luck of the Fan family and defeat Master Lin—her abilities were extraordinary. Secondly, it was because of Nie Yuchen. With a capitalist like Nie Yuchen backing her up, Mingluo could probably thrive in other circles even if she didn't work in the Xuanmen sect.
But this is also what puts him in a difficult position. He can't hit him, he can't scold him, and the matter still needs to be resolved, which makes things complicated.
Therefore, he wanted to see Mingluo's attitude before deciding what to do.
They also asked Nie Yuchen to act as a mediator, just in case Nie Yuchen held a grudge later; this guy is still a bit protective of his own.
Minglu smiled slightly and said calmly, "Master Gu, even if you hadn't contacted me today, I would have come to find you anyway. I also hope you can give me an explanation. Master Zhao broke into the women's dormitory in the middle of the night, peeked at my things, and even cast spells on ordinary people. Doesn't the Xuanmen Association care?"
"What?" Master Gu was stunned. "Mingluo, tell me in detail, what happened?"
Minglu slowly and deliberately recounted the events in a light and casual manner.
Finally, she said indifferently, "The box was taken from the Fan family. If Master Zhao wants to see it, just tell me properly. I would be happy to take it out and we can discuss it together to come up with a way to bury the fox pelt. But Master Zhao entered the girls' dormitory without a word and even got my three roommates caught in his trap. One of them is about to die. I have never seen anything like this before. Master Gu, what do you think we should do?"
Master Gu's face was ashen. If things were really as Mingluo said, then he had lost face today.
He had dealt with Master Zhao several times, and he never expected that such a composed person would be so reckless this time.
It's also possible that he didn't see through people's hearts; after all, you can know a person's face but not their heart.
He sighed, “The ‘Dragon Talisman Heavenly Book’ has been missing for over a hundred years. Old Zhao was probably in a hurry. After seeing you draw the talisman that day, he took the risk. Alas… this matter has indeed caused a lot of unpleasant trouble.”
“Heh…” Minglu scoffed, her beautiful eyes mocking. “Master Gu, if a person can do wrong things when he’s in a hurry, it only means that the moral constraints on him are too low, making him mistakenly believe that he can do whatever he wants. If a Taoist priest breaks into the women’s dormitory because of a suspicion and lets the curse fall on ordinary people, it only shows that he has always been high and mighty and does not care about the lives of ordinary people.”
Master Gu felt a chill run down his spine.
He looked at Mingluo intently, realizing that Mingluo was right.
He said solemnly, "What you said makes a lot of sense. I didn't investigate this matter thoroughly. Now that I have heard your testimony, I have a general idea of what happened. However, in order to avoid any more mistakes, I will personally go to see Master Zhao and hear his testimony. In any case, I will give you an explanation."
“It is only right to inquire of Master Zhao; I await your reply.” Mingluo’s expression was calm, then she added meaningfully, “However, if anyone comes seeking revenge during this time…”
"Don't worry!" Master Gu slammed his teacup down and said with a powerful voice, "I will spread the word. No one will come looking for revenge. If someone who hasn't been notified comes looking for you by mistake, I have a Xuanmen token here that you can use first. As long as you take out the token, it will prove that you are someone that my Xuanmen wants to protect, and no one will act rashly."
After he finished speaking, he took out a small black token from his pocket and handed it to Mingluo.
Mingluo reached out and took it. The spiritual energy on the token wasn't strong, but it had an extremely ancient and ancient aura, indicating that it had been passed down for a long time and had a great sense of age.
Master Gu looked proud and solemnly instructed, "Don't lose it. I will send someone to retrieve it once the matter is settled."
Mingluo held the token with great interest, and finally asked casually, "Master Gu has considered things very carefully, but what if the person who comes still insists on being violent towards me even after seeing the token?"
