Rumors of people destroying places were common in Wozhou. Du Juan didn't panic after hearing this. She simply frowned and asked the servant, "Do you know who this person is?"
The servant shook his head in panic and said, "It looks unfamiliar. I've never seen it in Wozhou."
Dujuan's expression changed immediately.
If this happened to a stranger, it would be unusual.
Du Juan quickly stood up and bowed to Tu Nian and the other two. "With the situation in the building today, I'm afraid I can't enjoy myself with you three."
Tu Nian waved her hand, "Sister will take care of you, don't worry about us."
"Once the matter is settled, I will personally pour wine for the three gentlemen to apologize."
Du Juan bowed to the few people again, then quickly followed the servant downstairs.
Tu Nian put his index finger on the table and looked at Bo Qiu, "What do you mean, go out and take a look?"
Bo Qiu shook his head and used his chopsticks to fiddle with the roast chicken on the table, looking not very interested.
Tu Nian looked at Song Chengming again, and just as he turned his head, without opening his mouth, he met the other's pair of sparkling eyes.
One must say that the soundproofing of this elegant room is really good. The two of them went out together at this moment, and it was already a mess outside. The ash wood tables and chairs in the middle of the downstairs were all in disarray, and most of the guests in the hall had left without even paying.
A lot of pretty girls huddled behind Dujuan, who was standing in front, surrounded by three big men on each side. In the ruins opposite her sat a skinny man in a crow-colored gown, also surrounded by a circle of thugs.
Tu Nian and Song Chengming were just there for the fun, so they didn't go downstairs. Like the spectators on the second floor, they just leaned over the railing and stuck their heads out.
It was a lively scene that was hard to understand until one got in. Tu Nian was shocked when he saw the leader who had come to disrupt the scene. He was stunned. "Isn't that the uniform of the Mingdaolou?"
"What?" Song Chengming was half a step behind her, and was also confused when he looked closely. "Really? What are the people from the Underworld Tower doing here?"
Especially so blatantly.
Tu Nian frowned as he thought, and suddenly his mind changed. He remembered Gong Huaisheng who appeared at Yu Wen Yiyi's birthday party that day.
After much thought, it seems that only the affairs of the Gong family can explain the strange behavior of Gong Huaisheng and Mingdaolou. During this period of time in the original work, what the Gong family encountered was probably the murder of many of their immediate family members.
That day at the Three Emperors Well, Tu Nian had revealed this secret of the Gong family to scare Gong Ruoruo. Who knows, she might just tell the Gong family about it. If the Underworld Tower came after her this time, she would have to be careful.
Thinking of this, Tu Nian looked back down the building without saying a word.
Xunxiang Pavilion has been able to stand firm for many years in the most prosperous low-end area of Wozhou, so it naturally has the capital to be fearless. Just look at the six aggressive monks standing next to Dujuan and you will know that they are also capable of fighting against the Mingdao Tower which is full of masters.
The two sides were in a stalemate, not only testing each other's strength with intimidation, but also considering whether the fight was worth fighting.
After a long silence, Du Juan finally spoke first, "I wonder what brings the Daoists from the Underworld Tower to visit. If you're looking for pleasure, I'll find you a girl. If you're looking for revenge, I'll let you know why, right?"
The thin man said, "Boss, you're straightforward, so I'll be frank. We brothers came to Vaud to look for someone."
Du Juan frowned slightly, "Young Master, if you want to look for someone, you should go to the Hunter's Pavilion. Why are you coming to my Xunxiang Pavilion?"
"The boss doesn't have to worry about that."
The thin man in the underworld uniform raised his lips and sneered sinisterly, "Please tell all your girls to come out so I can examine them one by one. Once I'm done, I'll take my men and leave immediately. Otherwise, there's no need for you to open this shop from now on."
The other party's attitude was unyielding, making it clear that unless Du Juan gave in, there would be no way around it. Although the other party hadn't given Du Juan the slightest bit of face, those who achieve great things don't dwell on trivial matters. In the long run, it's best to be able to reduce a major issue to a minor one.
After all, it was just a matter of checking someone. Even if she really found out who it was, she could just shift the blame with a word and sell the person out to keep herself safe. What she needed to worry about more than a girl was whether Xunxiang Pavilion could open tomorrow.
"Girls, come here!"
Du Juan called the girls in the building and asked them to line up one by one. Her beautiful eyes were half-closed, and the bottom of her eyes was dark and unclear. "Your Excellency, please look at us if you want. But one thing is, these girls of mine are very beautiful and can't stand the hardship. When you look at us, please be gentle."
"It's natural."
The thin man responded casually and waved his hand. Several monks standing behind him immediately went forward and took a closer look at the girls one by one.
Song Chengming saw this from upstairs and whispered in confusion, "Why don't these people use portraits or photo stones when looking for someone? Are they looking for someone from Mingdao Tower?"
Don't you care about appearance?
After being reminded by Song Chengming, Tu Nian suddenly remembered something and his expression darkened. "No, they are recognizing the Wuwang Law!"
After saying that, she suddenly turned around and ran straight into the room.
So stupid!
Tu Nian cursed as she walked. How could she forget that half of the killing of the direct bloodline of the Gong family was done by Yanyu Pavilion, and regardless of whether there were other people lurking in the brothel, wasn't there a ready-made one like Xie Chi!
In the room, not long after Bo Qiu picked up a piece of roast chicken with chopsticks, Tu Nian ran into the room in a hurry.
Seeing her hurried look, Bo Qiu lowered his eyes, looked at the half-eaten, greasy roasted chicken wing, sighed, then put the wing and chopsticks on the plate and looked up at her again, "What's wrong? Why are you so flustered?"
Closing the door, Tu Nian took out Zhang Qianli's sound transmission note from the mustard seed and said, "The Gong family has set their sights on Xu Chi. I have to inform her and tell her to make preparations early."
"Oh?" Bo Qiu had an impression of this person and teased him leisurely, "That little girl almost hurt you during the duel, and you still care about her so much?"
"How can this be the same? That's a competition, there has to be a winner..."
The Thousand Mile Sound Transmission Note glowed faintly, and as Tu Nian moved, beautiful words were printed on it. Bo Qiu watched her busy work with a look of great interest, "Why do you have to win her over?"
He said that if he was interested, it would be better to contact the leader of Yanyu directly.
"What kind of co-optation is this?"
After quickly leaving his message, Tu Nian collected the talisman and looked at Bo Qiu, "Publicly, I saved my senior brother before, privately..."
She paused and curled her lips, saying, "My bastard senior brother used me to deceive other people's feelings. Don't I have to atone for my sins?"
Bo Qiu smiled and said, "That makes sense."
Sitting down at the table, Tu Nian frowned, "But why would the Gong family target Xu Chi? Do you remember when we first met Xu Chi, the dead Gong family member had already been dealt with by her? So, it shouldn't be her fault."
Bo Qiu raised an eyebrow and reminded her, "Didn't the head of the Gong family go to the demon clan?"
