Hearing the fat man's exaggerated claim, Gu Liyan rolled her eyes and said irritably, "How many gold leaves did you spend to rent this place?"
Upon hearing Gu Liyan's question, the fat man switched to a lewd expression and looked at Gu Liyan with a sneaky grin as he spoke:
"Guess, sir!"
Gu Liyan's face darkened, and he kicked out without any hesitation:
"Screw you! You're still trying to bluff me at a time like this? Are you kidding me?"
The fat man looked aggrieved and cried out in pain.
"Sir, I was wrong! I... I'll tell you! I didn't spend a single penny! They'll even give us money after we stay a few days!"
Hearing the fat man's words, Gu Liyan pulled her leg back and looked at him with surprise. "What's going on? Have you met an idiot?"
"I must have met a fool! She treated me like a feng shui master, flattering me non-stop. I offered to change her feng shui, and she was overjoyed! She even said she'd pay me afterwards!" the fat man boasted smugly.
Gu Liyan glared at the fat man and said irritably, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!"
Gu Liyan was genuinely starting to look forward to it, and her gaze towards the fat man changed. She hadn't expected the fat man to be so clever; she wondered what trick he had up his sleeve to fool people...
Led by the fat man, Gu Liyan and the other arrived at the huge mansion.
Before me lay desolate land, a cold wind blowing, its biting chill making me shiver.
Gu Liyan's lips twitched involuntarily. "This, this is the house you rented?"
Gu Liyan's voice trembled slightly, but the fat man didn't notice Gu Liyan's expression. Instead, he nodded obsequiously, "Yes, how is it? Not bad, right?"
good?
Gu Liyan's lips twitched and his eyelids twitched. Even without the Soul Painting Eye, he could still see the gloomy aura of this mansion!
Is this a place where a person can stay?
Gu Liyan thought that this fat man must have gone mad, or he was just obsessed with money!
Otherwise, he's just asking for it!
"Sir, what do you think?" the fat man asked, still basking in his own pride, seeking praise.
"Heh, it's really not good! If you want to stay here, you can stay here yourself!" Gu Liyan said expressionlessly: I want to live a few more years!
The fat man looked puzzled. "Sir, isn't this place nice?"
"I know you're blind!" Gu Liyan glared at the fat man, then said nothing more and prepared to return to the small woodshed.
The fat man scurried up to him, "Sir, how big is this place? Aren't you satisfied? If it were any bigger, it would have to be like the Zhi family mansion, which isn't something you can just rent out!"
Gu Liyan stopped in her tracks upon hearing the fat man's words. "Where is the Zhi Mansion you mentioned?"
The fat man blinked and pointed in a direction, "It's at the end of East Alley, at the entrance of the East Alley city gate."
Gu Liyan thought for a moment and then nodded. "I'm going to pay a visit to Elder Tianzhi. You wait here for me!"
If Gu Liyan could receive guidance from Elder Tianzhi and understand the basic energy source of the world's driving array, she would be able to unleash her own array techniques. At that time, it would be uncertain whether anyone in this world would be able to attack her at close range.
With that in mind, Gu Liyan walked directly towards the East Alley without hesitation.
The fat man standing behind him was puzzled. "When did you get to know the number three person in Central City, sir?"
Gu Liyan had no idea how powerful Tianzhi was in the Central City. In his eyes, everyone was nothing more than an ant in this world!
Arriving at the end of East Alley, the Zhi Mansion occupies the entire East Gate. The mansion's gate resembles a city gate, with two pillars in front, upon which two dragons coil, creating an imposing and majestic atmosphere.
At this moment, the gate was wide open, facing Gu Liyan. Looking at the dragons on the twin pillars, their lifelike appearance filled Gu Liyan with a sense of awe.
Gu Liyan took a deep breath, lifted her foot, and prepared to walk towards the Zhi residence.
Suddenly, a strange phenomenon occurred. Just as Gu Liyan stepped onto the stone steps before the door, the two dragons seemed to come alive, their eyes turning red as they turned their heads towards Gu Liyan—
At that moment, Tianzhi's study in the tallest building of the Zhi Mansion suddenly shook.
Tianzhi looked up, his gaze momentarily frozen, and immediately shouted, "Someone! Take me to the front hall!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the guards rushed over and, without saying a word, followed Tianzhi straight to the gate.
The two dragons at the gate came to life. One was black and the other was white, and they circled around Gu Liyan. They didn't seem to have any intention of attacking, but just wanted to stop Gu Liyan.
Gu Liyan, masked, remained expressionless as he stared at the wide-open door. He heard hurried footsteps approaching him, which grew closer until they reached him directly.
Gu Liyan watched as Tianzhi arrived at the door with a group of guards to greet him. He smiled slightly and calmly said, "Old sir, it's been a while since we last met. I wonder how you are doing?"
Upon seeing that the person in front of him was Gu Liyan, Tianzhi was slightly taken aback. He had not expected that the person who had touched the Yin-Yang Twin Dragons Formation would be Gu Liyan!
The gate is always open, and anyone who enters or leaves through it must be someone from the East City. As a native sage of the East City, Tianzhi would never allow the East City to have another wicked person with ill intentions. Therefore, he opened a gate in the Central City connecting to the East City and set up this Yin-Yang Twin Dragon Formation. This formation is meant to test the darkness and light in a person's heart.
If a black dragon is circling, it indicates that the person is a great evil person who is at odds with the world; if a white dragon is circling, it indicates that the person is a savior of the world.
However, Tianzhi couldn't understand what kind of omen it was that the Yin-Yang black and white dragons were swirling around Gu Liyan! Not only Tianzhi, but everyone looked at Gu Liyan with increasingly strange eyes.
