"You're from Pengshan?!"
A monk guarding the entrance pointed at Wu Er, his face full of astonishment, which also revealed a hint of excitement.
"yes."
Wu Er casually replied that it was normal for him to be recognized as someone from Pengshan.
After all, he was still wearing the Taoist robes of a Pengshan disciple, which any cultivator with some knowledge could recognize.
Wu Er shifted his gaze slightly and looked at the cultivator who had called out to him.
The Taoist robe the cultivator was wearing looked very familiar; it was also of the Pengshan style, so he must be from Pengshan as well.
Wu Er thought to himself, "They're calling me because they've seen a fellow disciple and want to say hello."
So Wu Er smiled at the man and said, "It must be hard work guarding the city gate."
"Hehe, it's not hard work."
The man smiled at Wu Er, a smile that was... eerie.
Yes, his smile was very eerie.
It wasn't the smiles that usually greet fellow disciples; instead, it was like a hunter catching his prey, or a lecherous wolf seeing a beautiful woman...
"Come quick, grab this man!"
Suddenly, the man shouted and pulled out a Binding Immortal Lock, which he threw at Wu Er.
He added sarcastically, "Pretending! Still pretending! You dare to act like a member of the Pengshan Sect in front of me? You've got some nerve!"
"Pack?"
Wu Er was confused when he heard this.
"A disciple of Pengshan Sect?" What does that mean?
I am the head of the Pengshan Sect! Why would I need to pretend to be a member of the Pengshan Sect?!
What's the logic behind this?
Wu Er dodged backward, thus avoiding the Immortal Binding Lock that was flying towards him.
Then he waved his hand and said, "No, you must have made a mistake? I actually..."
Wu Er wanted to reveal his identity as the sect leader directly, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.
I am here incognito, and it is not appropriate to reveal my identity, nor do I want other sects to know my whereabouts.
Otherwise, it might cause some negative consequences.
Moreover, whether they arrest people from their own sect or not, let them arrest them if they want.
Anyway, there's nothing they can do about it...
This is still the city gate, and there are so many people here. If people find out that the Pengshan Sect has captured their own sect leader, wouldn't they laugh their heads off?
We can talk about other things when we're alone.
After thinking about it for a while, Wu Er stopped hiding and stayed put.
Then a group of Pengshan disciples came over with the Immortal Binding Lock and easily tied up Wu Er.
To cooperate with them, Wu Er suppressed his own power, making it seem as if he had really been captured by them.
"I searched high and low without finding it, but then it came to me effortlessly!"
A member of the Pengshan sect laughed gleefully upon seeing Wu Er arrested.
Then he said to the other members of Pengshan Sect, "Great! The people who intercepted the goods have finally been caught. You guys take them to Elder Chen for interrogation."
"Elder Chen?"
Wu Er raised an eyebrow.
This Elder Chen must be referring to his fourth junior brother, Chen Ping.
If what that disciple said is true, we'll see Xiaoping soon.
Meeting him this way will surely surprise him, right?
Thinking of this, Wu Er couldn't help but smile, as if he was imagining Chen Ping's expression when he saw him.
"You thief, still laughing! Just wait until we meet our elders and see how you laugh then!"
One of the disciples of Pengshan muttered something unpleasantly when he saw Wu Er standing there grinning foolishly.
To this, Wu Er can only say... When I see your elder's expression later, I'll be even happier!
Next, several members of the Pengshan Sect led Wu Er toward the Pengshan Chamber of Commerce.
The Pengshan Chamber of Commerce is easy to find.
In this Immortal City, there are five pavilions that are significantly taller than those elsewhere; these are the merchant guilds of the five major sects of the human race.
Of these five chambers of commerce, the one with the most distinctive architectural style and resemblance to the Pengshan-style architecture—that is, the one that looks exactly like the department store in Wu Er's previous life—is the Pengshan Gate Chamber of Commerce.
Upon arriving at the Pengshan Chamber of Commerce's high-rise building, Wu Er was led to a main hall, where he waited.
Of the Pengshan disciples who brought Wu Er, one went elsewhere, presumably to find Chen Ping.
Now that Chen Ping wasn't there, Wu Er couldn't help but start taking a look at his sect's merchant guild.
After glancing around the main hall, Wu Er felt awkward.
Well... how should I put it? It's not that the decoration is bad, nor is the furnishings overly juvenile.
But what's with the slogan playing on a loop on the spirit crystal screen in the center of the hall?!
What about 'high-end, classy, understated luxury with substance'?
'Pengshan Chamber of Commerce, Male Cultivator's Wardrobe'
One choice, a lifetime of affection! Pengshan Women's Clothing
......
"Strange things have increased in the world of cultivation."
Wu Er muttered a complaint under his breath, then chuckled to himself twice.
Seeing Wu Er smirking, the Pengshan disciples said, "Still laughing? You won't be laughing in a moment!"
"Elder Chen has arrived!"
As luck would have it, Chen Ping arrived just as the disciple finished speaking.
A person walked out from around the corner and entered the hall.
This person was wearing a golden Taoist robe, a large white jade thumb ring on his hand, and a Liuhe hat on his head.
This man is Chen Ping, Wu Er's fourth junior brother.
It must be said that Chen Ping's attire does indeed resemble that of an ordinary businessman.
Where are the people who intercepted the goods?
Chen Ping rubbed the ring on his hand, his baptized eyes scanning the main hall.
"Elder Chen, the person is there."
A member of the Pengshan sect standing next to Chen Ping pointed at Wu Er.
"Oh?" Chen Ping curled the corner of his mouth slightly. "I'd like to see who this person is, with such guts..."
