Chapter 13
"About this business--" Chongming said lightly, "For the sake of your self-esteem, Wanwulou will not go to Yihua Palace again. You can either send someone or come to see me in person."
Yaoyue was very concerned about some of the words he emphasized on purpose, and said unhappily: "Taking without asking is stealing, and you should not pay the final payment without permission in the future."
Chongming said: "The rules of Wanwulou have been told to you when you came to us."
"The rules you are referring to are just one sentence, "No matter how the process is, the guests will be satisfied." "
"You know the news you want, what's
there to be dissatisfied about?" "Nothing is satisfactory."
"... Tsk."
When two overly selfish people meet, there will only be arguments and contradictions. Yaoyue doesn't like Zhongming at all, but the two have reached an agreement.
"You should go. "
Chongming urged mercilessly, his expression extremely gloomy.
Yaoyue glared back with an even more gloomy look, and then opened the door.

The disciples of Yihua Palace waited faithfully outside the study, and separated Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zhaixing from the study far away, not allowing them to eavesdrop.
Sikong Zhaixing was very dissatisfied with this. Why did this group of Yihua Palace disciples who came later dare to turn the tables when it was obvious that he had lived here only second to Chongming.
Lu Xiaofeng had no time to complain. His thoughts had changed in a subtle way. He was busy asking Bu Gu. The aloof and indifferent Yihua Palace disciples approached him.
However, Yihua Palace had strict rules and the disciples did not respond to Lu Xiaofeng's conversation and showed no expression from beginning to end.
Lu Xiaofeng has always been popular with girls, but now no one seems to find him interesting. He stroked his mustache and sighed sadly.
Sikong Zhaixing thought it was funny that no one paid attention to Lu Xiaofeng.
The study door is at At this time, Yao Yue walked out of the room first, and the disciples of Yihua Palace greeted her respectfully.
The second closed-door conversation between Chongming and Yao Yue ended successfully, but the two of them left the room one after another, with unhappy expressions on their faces.
Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zhaixing watched the excitement with great interest. This time the conversation between the two was more peaceful than they expected.
To be honest, Sikong Zhaixing thought that with Chongming's mouth, Yao Yue will definitely be greatly enraged for the second time.
Yao Yue led her disciples to leave. Before leaving, she glanced at Chong Ming, but finally said nothing and walked away surrounded by her disciples. After they left, Lu Xiaofeng looked at Chong Ming's expression and asked, "In addition to settling accounts with you, Palace Master Yao Yue should have other things to ask you, right?"
Chong Ming said, "You are very smart, but being too curious is not a good thing."
Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "There is no way, I can't change it."
Sikong Zhaixing said, "That's why you always get into all kinds of trouble. "
Lu Xiaofeng looked very proud.
Bu Zao was not surprised that Lu Xiaofeng could say this. After all, Yao Yue came with great momentum but did not fight with Chong Ming. Instead, she left calmly. Any smart person could figure out the reason.
Lu Xiaofeng said thankfully, "Fortunately, you didn't fight."
Sikong Zhaixing said with regret, "You didn't fight. "
Chongming pulled the corner of his mouth and responded with a fake smile.
Bu Zao was speechless about the two funny guys who sang the same tune, especially Sikong Zhaixing. Wasn't this guy too hostile to Chongming? It was as if he was hoping that Chongming would suffer a loss.
The reason for not fighting with Yaoyue was very simple. The eldest disciple's vest was not an output. Yaoyue practiced Mingyu Gong and Yihuajiemu Palm, and her realm was superb. There was no eldest disciple with martial arts talent in the setting to fight with Yaoyue. Even if he could recover his physical strength, he would suffer a lot in the fight.
But even if he really had to fight, the eldest disciple who was proficient in hidden weapons and poisons also had some tricks to use. Bu Zao knew everything.

The news of Yaoyue and Chongming's meeting spread quickly, and soon after she left, Chongming planned to leave.
Lu Xiaofeng realized that Chongming had been waiting for Yaoyue to come to him. The young owner of Wanwu Building seemed to be planning to use any opportunity that could help him become famous.
Two months ago, no one knew the name of the owner of Wanwu Building, but after just two months, the word "Chongming" was deeply rooted in people's hearts.
For Chongming, it was not difficult to become famous. "Wanwu Building" was already famous enough, so after meeting him until now and observing Chongming for so long, Lu Xiaofeng was most curious about what prompted Chongming to take the initiative to show himself in front of people.
Before leaving, Chong Ming asked Sikong Zhaixing if he wanted to continue following him. The latter was evasive and did not explain clearly, so Chong Ming said, "You haven't satisfied me yet."
"Why do you think it's because you are too mysterious, like a gourd with a sawed mouth, and you don't say anything about yourself. I also want to keep my secrets."
Sikong Zhaixing was still trying to anger Chong Ming. After the last incident, he really couldn't figure out what he said to anger Chong Ming, and wanted to recreate the scene at that time. Chong Ming's expression was calm: "I'll show you a way."
"Oh," Sikong Zhaixing became interested.
"Just go to the martial arts world and say that you admire me so much that you bow down to me."
"...You are dreaming." Sikong Zhaixing almost laughed out of anger.
Chong Ming sneered. He looked unkind with the mask on. His sarcastic smile made him look even more unapproachable. He looked "not to be messed with" from head to toe.
He said, "Then let's do it as a favor. I need your help in the future and you can't refuse."
Sikong Zhaixing raised his eyebrows and said, "You don't plan to force me to join your team."
Chong Ming said mercilessly, "You are being sentimental."
Sikong Zhaixing: "Then why did you call me your subordinate before!"
Chong Ming: "I was just kidding. I can't do that to my own people."
What a lie! Such a cold heart! Such an icy mouth!
Sikong Zhaixing had a strong urge to fight Chong Ming.
In order to suppress this impulse, Sikong Zhaixing slammed the door and left: "I'm leaving! Don't forget what we agreed to do, and watch your mouth."
Sikong Zhaixing left as soon as he said he would, and said hello to Lu Xiaofeng before leaving.
Lu Xiaofeng stroked his mustache and thought for a long time, then ran to ask Chongming intimately: "Do you need me to follow you?"
"No need." Chong Ming was unmoved, "I'll do it myself."
Lu Xiaofeng said, "As the owner of Wanwu Building, why don't you have a..."
Bu Zao knew what he wanted to ask, and said straightforwardly, "No need."
Lu Xiaofeng stopped talking, he remembered Chong Ming who climbed out of the window from the back of the study under Yao Yue's attack.
Chong Ming should need a bodyguard - at least based on Lu Xiaofeng's experience, but he didn't know much about Chong Ming, and he didn't know how strong Chong Ming was.
The next day, Bu Zao packed his bags, locked the gate, and embarked on the journey of improving his impression as a senior disciple. By the way, he
also completed Yao Yue's commission and investigated the activities of his junior brother on the hour.
Since Yaoyue left, Bu Zao has been thinking hard, but he still can't figure out what he did that was worth her remembering for seven years.
System reminder: [Perhaps the definition of "worth" is different between the player and the game character.]
[Hey, you actually took the initiative to chat with me.] Bu Zao was very surprised.
Although the system said so, Bu Zao's three disciples had done impressive things after landing in the vest, which were roughly the same. No "old friends" of the other two disciples came to look for them, only Yaoyue came to look for them.
Maybe it's because the three disciples are girls in Yaoyue's eyes
. Bu Zao thought deeply.
But Yaoyue is not a person who will be soft-hearted to girls.

On the evening of the day when Chongming left, Lu Xiaofeng and Wuqing Lengxue met.
Wuqing and Lengxue were going back to Beijing. When they passed by this place, they heard the rumor that Yaoyue had come to settle accounts with Chongming, so Wuqing came to see what was going on.
When he exchanged information with Yaoyue, Wuqing did see that Yaoyue's attitude towards Wanwulou was a little strange and a little hostile, but he didn't expect that she would go straight to Chongming after that.
When Yaoyue visited Chongming, Wuqing was reading the files with Lengxue.
"There is nothing wrong between them," Wuqing was a little confused.
There was no fighting or bloodshed... This was beyond his expectation.
"All is well." As a bystander, Lu Xiaofeng explained to the worried Wuqing, "Palace Master Yaoyue must have other requests - although I still don't know why she came here under the banner of settling accounts with Chongming."
Wuqing didn't know either, but it didn't matter.
"You get along well with Chongming, did he tell you anything else?" Wuqing asked, "For example, the customer who bought information from him... something like that."
Lu Xiaofeng shook her head: "He didn't say anything." Not only did he not say anything, but he was also bothered by Sikong Zhaixing.
Leng Xue said, "I met a killer this time. He called himself Wu Du. He bought information from Wanwu Building and killed the wanted criminal I was looking for before I did."
When Leng Xue said this, the scene of Wu Du standing under the moon, carrying a basket on his back, and staring at him seriously appeared in his mind again.
There was a fresh head in the basket, the air was filled with the smell of blood, and the moonlight shone faintly through the dark clouds.
Wu Du's eyes were bright and honest, and he even answered his questions with a patient attitude that was weird.
"He is a... weirdo."
Leng Xue said with a little hesitation.
Lu Xiaofeng widened his eyes in surprise, and was surprised by Leng Xue's evaluation.
He was also a little curious about what kind of person the killer named Wu Du was.
Wu Qing added calmly: "He started to act around the beginning of this spring, not long after Chong Ming met Master Gui Sun."
Lu Xiaofeng suddenly realized: "Maybe this killer is related to Chong Ming" Wu Qing
nodded.
No matter what the relationship is, at least Chong Ming knows the existence of the killer Wu Du.
Lu Xiaofeng said that he had taken note.
As a famous detective who is often forced or voluntarily joins the Six Gates in the investigation process, Lu Xiaofeng has a friendly relationship with the Six Gates, and is even better with the four famous detectives of the Shen Hou Mansion. Occasionally, they would share information like this.
"Wu Du...which Wu Du?" Lu Xiaofeng asked again.
"The crow's crow, the ferry's ferry."
Leng Xue said.
