Gu Lingxuan then turned to look at Ye Feng, her expression still somewhat troubled.
Night Breeze could only ask, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"It's like this, the eldest son of the Wang family in Zhonghao City asked to meet with me, saying he wanted to discuss business," Gu Lingxuan explained.
"You don't want to see him?" Night Wind asked.
"Yes, that young master of the Wang family is no good person. I met him a couple of days ago, and he kept staring at me with a lecherous look. His gaze made me feel very uncomfortable, and I really don't want to see him again."
"But the Wang family is one of the major families in Zhonghao City, and I can't afford to offend them."
As Gu Lingxuan finished speaking, she cast a pleading look at Ye Feng.
"Brother Feng, could you come with me?" Gu Lingxuan asked.
"Isn't Sun Gang protecting you enough?" Ye Feng retorted.
“Sun Gang is only a martial artist at the Separation and Union Realm after all,” Gu Lingxuan said in a low voice.
After saying that, Gu Lingxuan looked at Ye Feng with a worried expression, as if she would die immediately if Ye Feng didn't help her.
Luo Qingling said, "Brother Feng, please help Miss Gu. Look how much she's begging you, how can you refuse?"
Night Wind sighed.
"Alright then, I'll go with you."
Hearing Ye Feng say that, Gu Lingxuan was overjoyed.
She quickly picked up her chopsticks to serve food to Ye Feng, and even stood up to pour him a drink.
After breakfast, Ye Feng and Gu Lingxuan took a carriage together and headed towards the Wang family in Zhonghao City.
As soon as Ye Feng stepped off the carriage, he saw an old man in an earth-yellow robe standing at the entrance of the Wang family mansion, waiting for him.
This person should be the Wang family's steward, or the old servant of the eldest son of the Wang family.
“Miss Gu, my young master has been waiting for you for a long time,” the old man said.
"I'm sorry, I got up late today and was delayed a little longer," Gu Lingxuan said.
"Miss Gu, please follow me."
The old man led the way, and Gu Lingxuan and Ye Feng entered the Wang family mansion together, but Ye Feng was stopped.
"He can't go in."
"That's what the Wang family servant said, stopping the night wind."
Gu Lingxuan frowned: "He is my bodyguard. If he can't go in, then I think we should call off this meeting."
As Gu Lingxuan spoke, she made a gesture as if she were about to take the clothes and leave with Ye Feng.
The old man quickly gave the two servants a look, and only then did they finally let them pass.
“Miss Gu, please don’t be angry. The servants are incompetent. I will teach them a lesson.” the old man said.
Gu Lingxuan was finally satisfied and followed the old man into the depths of the Wang family mansion with Ye Feng.
The Wang family mansion is extremely luxurious and very large, resembling a maze inside.
Ye Feng and Gu Lingxuan followed the old man through many twists and turns before finally meeting the young master of the Wang family.
The eldest son of the Wang family looked to be only in his early twenties, very young, but he looked like he had been drained by alcohol and women, and his face was very haggard.
But as soon as he saw Gu Lingxuan, this guy got all excited and stared at her lecherously.
Gu Lingxuan felt nauseous, but she didn't show any dissatisfaction on her face.
"Brother Feng, this is Wang Zihao, the eldest son of the Wang family."
Then Gu Lingxuan said to Wang Zihao, "Young Master Wang, this is my bodyguard and also my friend, named Feng Ye."
Wang Zihao didn't even glance at Ye Feng, his eyes still fixed on Gu Lingxuan.
Gu Lingxuan sat down in the chair and asked directly, "Young Master Wang, you said you wanted to talk business with me. What kind of business do you want to talk about?"
“Doesn’t your Deer Merchant Guild regularly transport Shining Star Silver to the Tianyang Sect? In that case, we can provide you with some Shining Star Silver, so that your preparation of Shining Star Silver for the Tianyang Sect won’t be so difficult,” Wang Zihao said with a smile.
Gu Lingxuan felt a little happy.
Every time the Deer Merchant Guild collects and purchases Shining Star Silver, it is a very troublesome matter. They need to purchase from more than a dozen merchant guilds of different sizes in order to buy enough Shining Star Silver.
If the Wang family could provide some, or even a large portion, of the Shining Star Silver, then their future procurement of Shining Star Silver would not be so troublesome.
"How much can you provide?" Gu Lingxuan asked quickly.
“Twenty thousand jin every year,” Wang Zihao replied.
"And what about the price?" Gu Lingxuan asked again.
“It’s 30% lower than the market price,” Wang Zihao replied.
Hearing this, Gu Lingxuan was taken aback.
By offering prices 30% lower than the market price, the Wang family will not only fail to make money, but will actually suffer losses.
Is there such a thing as a free lunch?
Perhaps, but it will definitely come at a much heavier price!
Gu Lingxuan suppressed her joy and asked seriously, "Young Master Wang, you must have conditions for doing this unprofitable deal, right?"
"Of course there are conditions, otherwise wouldn't I be a sucker?"
Wang Zihao chuckled and continued, "I only have one condition: Miss Gu, you must marry me and become my eighth concubine."
Gu Lingxuan's expression changed.
Without further ado, Gu Lingxuan stood up and said to Ye Feng, "Brother Feng, let's go. Let's not talk about this deal anymore!"
Ye Feng then followed Gu Lingxuan toward the door, but immediately several martial artists appeared in the corridor, blocking Gu Lingxuan and Ye Feng's way.
"Young Master Wang, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to force me?" Gu Lingxuan questioned.
“Why would I force you? It’s just that Miss Gu, you don’t have to leave in such a hurry. We can talk some more,” Wang Zihao said with a half-smile.
"But I don't want to talk anymore. Wang Zihao, tell your men to clear the way right now, or don't blame me for being impolite," Gu Lingxuan said angrily.
"Hey, let's see how impolite you can be?"
Wang Zihao's face darkened as he coldly ordered, "Take this woman down. If her guards dare to resist, kill them!"
"Yes, young master!"
The four guards rushed over without hesitation. One lunged at Gu Lingxuan, while the other three rushed towards Ye Feng.
Gu Lingxuan immediately retreated and hid behind Ye Feng.
Just as the guards were about to reach Ye Feng, Ye Feng suddenly smiled and said, "Young Master Wang, if you don't want to be poisoned to death, I advise you to have your men retreat."
poison?
Could this guy be a poisoner, and has he already poisoned someone?
The guards quickly retreated, while Wang Zihao nervously looked down at his body.
"Did you see that red line on your wrist?" Night Wind reminded him.
Wang Zihao raised his hands and, sure enough, saw a red line on his left wrist.
Moreover, this red line seems to be slowly growing, getting longer little by little, and spreading towards the shoulder.
"What's this?"
Wang Zihao was shocked and quickly asked.
