clever?
Keep calm?
After my thoughts returned to normal.
The shopkeeper looked around, then picked up a fan from the table and opened it with understated elegance.
"Whoosh—"
The three large characters "Cheng Gui Ge" (乘归阁) were printed on the fan surface using calligraphy.
"This place is certainly more than just a cloth shop, but as for its specific location, young master, you'll have to think about it carefully." The shopkeeper held a conspicuous fan and solemnly fanned himself against the side.
Zhou Cheng: "........."
Black Rat: "........."
The wisp of smoke hidden in the shadows: "........."
There was a deathly silence for a few seconds.
Finally, as if suddenly awakened from something, Black Rat's expression changed, and he quickly lowered his head and whispered in Zhou Cheng's ear, "Young Master, this is Cheng Gui Pavilion."
"On the way here, I was wondering how the dignified Marquis of Pingyang, accompanied by more than a dozen elite soldiers, could have fallen into the hands of an ordinary shopkeeper and been tied up. Now I understand..."
"This is not an ordinary cloth shop, but a mysterious force entrenched in the Yan Kingdom."
"This force is extremely powerful, with multiple branches not only in Yan State but also throughout the Central Plains. Its members are all ruthless and merciless, and their specialty is piercing the throat with a single blow, which is extremely cruel."
The shopkeeper was only three steps away from Zhou Cheng.
He clearly heard the descriptions Black Rat used for Cheng Gui Pavilion.
Ruthless, merciless, cruel...
I can't even imagine if the leader would chop himself up if he heard such comments.
The shopkeeper blushed and immediately retorted, "You're talking nonsense... Hahaha, don't worry, we at Cheng Gui Pavilion are the most reasonable people. We are not only happy to help others, but also extremely well-mannered. Our Pavilion Master is very easy to talk to."
The shopkeeper was terrified.
I almost blurted out your insults.
He cleared his throat, recalled for a couple of seconds the request Ziyan had given him, and then said with an air of composure, "How about this, Chenggui Pavilion can give you the person, but you need to agree to one request of us."
Zhou Cheng: "What are your requirements?"
As soon as the words fell.
"Whoosh—"
"Whoosh—"
The shopkeeper immediately took out two pieces of paper from his pocket.
Then it was handed to Zhou Cheng.
The moment Zhou Cheng's gaze fell on the paper, his expression immediately turned strange.
The shopkeeper then revealed a toothy smile: "You only need to write a letter to the Pavilion Master in your own handwriting. Just copy the contents of the letter onto this piece of paper. As long as you agree, I will give you the person."
Zhou Cheng: "......."
Zhou Cheng's silence was deafening.
He took the paper and looked at the text again with a complicated expression.
Black Rat also came over to take a look, and this one glance completely shattered his understanding of Cheng Gui Pavilion: "To the Pavilion Master of Cheng Gui Pavilion: Today I had the honor of meeting the person in charge of the branch pavilion. After a conversation, I can no longer look at him in the same light."
"It is evident that beneath the benevolent, kind, courteous, frugal, and righteous exteriors of the members of the cabinet lies a pure and innocent heart."
Are you sure?
Black Rat glanced at the shopkeeper with a complicated expression.
After glancing down a few more times, I felt my entire worldview shatter: "If the members are all so courteous and well-mannered, then the sect leader must be beautiful, kind-hearted, pure, noble, and exceptionally talented..."
