This is a very insightful question.
Master Gu's eyes narrowed slightly, knowing Mingluo's worries.
The Xuanmen Association is just an association, not a gang or sect. It cannot restrain everyone. It can only restrain those who have some sense of rules. Those who have no sense of rules cannot be restrained.
He sighed and said, "If you still resort to violence after seeing the token, it only means you're not a member of my Xuanmen Association. In that case, Miss Ming, just follow the rules. However, you still have to abide by the law."
Those people must have realized that Mingluo is not someone to be trifled with after they got beaten up.
He only hopes that no one will die and that no one will do anything illegal or disorderly; nothing else matters.
Mingluo understood.
She gracefully sipped her tea and smiled, "Okay, I understand, Master Gu, don't worry."
Master Gu waved his hand and gave a wry smile. "I have nothing to worry about. With President Nie vouching for you, I trust you completely."
He gave Nie Yuchen a meaningful look, his smile implying that this was all he could do to help.
In fact, he did trust Nie Yuchen's character.
Nie Yuchen's ancestors were red merchants who donated all their family property to build the country. The whole family had a talent for business and later built their business from scratch to the extent they are today, which is remarkable.
Master Gu trusted Nie Yuchen, so he thought that Mingluo, whom Nie Yuchen valued highly, shouldn't be too bad either.
Nie Yuchen smiled slightly and said calmly, "Master Gu, rest assured, I am willing to vouch for Mingluo. We will not do anything illegal or disorderly. However, it is impossible for us to simply hide."
"That's natural." Master Gu smiled, but his heart was full of worry.
The problems within the Xuanmen Association have been long-standing, and Mingluo's incident has exposed these flaws. He has yet to find a solution.
Hopefully, this time, encountering Mingluo as a formidable rival will make Master Lin and Master Zhao settle down and stop thinking about forming cliques.
Mingluo was very happy to receive a token.
She asked, "Master Gu, I'm looking for something that contains spiritual energy. Do you have anything for sale here?"
"...So that's what you came here for today!" Master Gu couldn't help but laugh. He looked at Mingluo with kind eyes and said, "I do have some here, but I can't give them to you."
"Everyone knows these things belong to me. If I sell them to you or give them to you, it will create conflict and could potentially tear the Xuanmen Association apart. The association has not flourished under my leadership, and I cannot stand by and watch it be destroyed."
"However, don't be discouraged. I know a place where you can buy the magical artifacts you want. You can go there and take a look."
As Master Gu spoke, he casually picked up a business card, wrote down an address, and handed it to Mingluo.
He continued, "This is a market for the Xuanmen sect. You can go there often; you might find some good stuff. There's also an auction every month with some great items. It really tests your eye for quality, though; you might end up with fakes, so be careful."
As Master Gu spoke, he subconsciously recalled the wooden figure in Ming Luo's hand. That wooden figure was given away by Master Lin, but unexpectedly, it became a powerful weapon in Ming Luo's hands.
I don't know if Master Lin misjudged her or if Minglu was just lucky.
However, the auction market is a mixed bag, and luck alone isn't enough; you also need a keen eye.
He acknowledged that Mingluo was talented, surpassing them, these old bones, in the art of metaphysics. Such a brilliant and talented person only appears once every few hundred years, and they were lucky to have encountered him.
However, selecting magical artifacts relies on experience and accumulated knowledge, and he didn't think Mingluo had that kind of experience.
Minglu took the address, glanced at it, and had no recollection of the place.
Nie Yuchen said, "I know this place!"
His casual remark indeed caught Mingluo's attention.
He smiled slightly, in a pleasant mood, "I'll take you there, Master Gu. Thank you for your hospitality. We'll take our leave now."
“…” Mingluo glanced at him sideways, then got up to say goodbye.
She is currently at odds with the Xuanmen Association, and staying there for too long could easily lead to misunderstandings.
Master Gu looked at Mingluo with some regret, but did not try to stop them. Instead, he warmly and kindly saw the two off, watched them get into the car and leave, and then sighed as he walked back.
A disciple carefully helped him up and asked, "Master, didn't you say you wanted to invite Miss Ming to join the Xuanmen Association and participate in the competition? Why didn't you invite her?"
"Let's resolve the issues with Lao Lin and Lao Zhao first, otherwise the people we invite will leave anyway, and they don't want to come. We don't want to waste our goodwill and end up with a lot of resentment. Let's think of a solution ourselves! You get the car ready, I'll go check on Lao Zhao."
"yes!"
...
The car is driving on the road.
Minglu frowned as she looked at the address and asked, "Why does this place seem so strange?"
Mingluo then clearly saw that the address was No. 18 Huangquan Road, Basement 1.
Does such a place as the Road to the Underworld even exist in this world?
The 18th?
Isn't this clearly the eighteenth level of hell?
Nie Yuchen smiled and said calmly, "This is a dialogue."
"What's the meaning?"
"It's yellow against blue, spring against water, 18 against 81, modeled after 'The Primer of Prosody.' It's mainly to prevent outsiders from messing around. This industry is very expensive, and it's troublesome to encounter people who don't know the ropes. This is a simple screening criterion so that only insiders can go," Nie Yuchen explained considerately.
