Chapter 174 One more small request



Mingdaolou came to Wozhou with full arrogance. Within three days, not only Xunxiang Pavilion, but also all the dozen or so brothels in Wozhou were searched by them.

Tu Nian set up a stall outside Xunxiang Pavilion to inquire. The more he asked, the more convinced he became that the person the other party was looking for was Xu Chi. After receiving the news, Xu Chi also replied, saying that he had left Yicui Tower, changed his appearance, and moved to a mortal village near Tianzhu Mountain.

What was even more coincidental was that the very next day after she moved out, Yicuilou, where she had originally lived, suffered a disaster, and at that time the group of people from Wozhou had not even left.

Tu Nian immediately understood that the number of people sent by Gong Huaisheng this time was far more than what they saw. While marveling at their strong strength, he couldn't help but feel fortunate that the news came in time.

The people in Mingdaolou have always been tyrannical and are wary of Wozhou. That's because Wozhou itself is a hard rock, and the other brothels run by mortals are just soft persimmons, so naturally they can squeeze and trample on them as they please.

Their search even affected some other shops, especially those affiliated with the other three sects and seven schools, which were inevitably damaged to some extent. This behavior made people wonder if the Underworld Tower was just using this as an excuse to suppress the other sects that were about to hold their apprenticeship ceremonies.

This frantic activity continued for nearly ten days. When Tu Nian and the others heard the visitor mention Ming Dao Lou's deeds again, Song Chengming couldn't help but say, "With the apprenticeship ceremony approaching, Ming Dao Lou has made itself so infamous. Isn't that harmful to others and not benefiting itself?"

However, after he expressed his opposition to this kind of behavior that hurt the enemy by a thousand and hurt himself by eight hundred, Tu Nian and Bo Qiu looked at each other and laughed in tacit understanding.

Song Chengming didn't know why they were laughing, but he knew they were mocking him, so he stiffened his neck and asked, "What are you laughing at? Am I wrong?"

As he spoke, he looked at Bo Qiu. Bo Qiu shrugged without answering. He then looked at Tu Nian.

Tu Nian's smile continued, his hands still moving as he pointed at him lightly, "Do you remember when the Underworld Tower became famous?"

Song Chengming was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Oh no, it seems to be true."

Mingdaolou has never cared about reputation, because from the day they founded their sect, they have never taken the right path. Everyone has their own preferences; some prefer the air of an immortal, while others prefer the unbridled and unrestrained. When a cultivator chooses a sect, they choose not only the techniques but also their personal style.

In the world of cultivating immortals, there is never a shortage of people who are fond of the Mingdao Tower.

The moon rose in the east, and Tu Nian and his companions packed up their stall and returned to Xunxiang Pavilion.

They went to the private room as usual, without even being invited. When the three of them entered, the tea on the table was eight-tenths hot, just the right temperature for them to drink. After two sips, the water temperature had just dropped to seven-tenths hot when the waiter had already served them the wine and food.

These days, Tu Nian and the other two have been following the same routine: getting up in the morning to work and returning home at sunset. The people in Xunxiang Pavilion have figured out their habits and can take better care of them.

I hadn’t taken a few bites of the food when there was a knock on the door. It was Dujuan.

"I heard from the people down there that the three gentlemen are leaving tomorrow?"

After entering the house, Dujuan did not stop and filled the three people's glasses with wine. His rosy face showed that he had made a lot of money.

Tu Nian took the wine cup she handed him and said with a smile, "You may say it's a bit hasty, but there's nothing we can do. Business waits for no one. Making money is extremely urgent."

It was clearly Nie Yanchen urging the three to return to the sect, but Tu Nian made it sound like a true story. Song Chengming listened silently and was completely impressed.

"Master Liu is right."

This time, Du Juan didn't wait for her to call, and sat down while talking. Seeing her happy face, Tu Nian smiled, "Sister, you seem to be in a good mood. I guess there must be something good going on."

"Master Liu, you are so perceptive!"

Touching Tu Nian's hand, Du Juan said happily, "With your new business supporting the store, Xunxiang Pavilion has really made a lot of money these past two days!"

Tu Nian patted her tender hands and said, "Now you can trust me, sister."

"Believe, believe!"

Du Juan nodded repeatedly and said flatteringly, "Then what about the business that Master Liu mentioned at the beginning..."

Tu Nian said leisurely, "Of course it counts."

"Master Liu, you are so generous..."

"But I would like to add a small request."

Before Du Juan could finish her words of gratitude, Tu Nian interrupted her again.

As a businessman, Du Juan knew that the longer a price was raised, the higher it would go. Doubt came at a price. After all, once someone had proven their worth, they had the capital to demand an exorbitant price.

Therefore, the current situation was within expectations, and Du Juan responded with particular enthusiasm, "Master Liu, you decide! I agree to everything!"

"Actually, my request has nothing to do with business."

As Tu Nian spoke, he took out the price list of talismans that he and Song Chengming had compiled over the past two days from the mustard seed and handed it to Du Juan.

Du Juan took it, glanced at the price on it, which was almost a huge profit for her, and then looked up with a look of surprise. Then she heard Tu Nian say, "I want to ask my sister to help me find a piece of land in Wozhou."

"A piece of land?" Du Juan asked in surprise, "Is Master Liu planning to open a shop in Wozhou?"

Tu Nian nodded, "I just have such a plan. But I haven't made any plans yet, so I just asked my sister to help me look for someone."

"Master!"

After hearing this, Du Juan called out with resentment in her eyes. Her bones softened and half of her body leaned against Tu Nian. "Why do you gentlemen look down on my business? You insist on setting up your own business and letting the wealth go to outsiders."

"Good boy..."

Song Chengming watched as the two lumps of soft flesh on the opponent's chest rubbed against him. While forcing his eyes back, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It turns out that not everyone can do business! The opponent's firepower was really strong. If it were him, he would have been confused by the sugar-coated bullets countless times.

Du Juan was indeed a natural at using the honey trap, but unfortunately, she didn't realize she was dealing with a woman of the same sex. Pulling his arm away discreetly, Tu Nian smiled at her, "It's just a plan. If you could help keep a closer eye on it, I'd be very grateful."

The meaning of this statement is very clear. If Dujuan continues to pester him, it would seem that she is being ungrateful.

She had no choice but to straighten her body in dismay and put the price list on her body. "Alright, since Master Liu has said so, I will do my best to serve you."

The deal was done, Dujuan left, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became relaxed.

"Finally, I've reached an agreement with this sister."

After Song Chengming finished speaking, he raised his glass and drank a gulp, then let out a sigh of relief.

"puff."

Tu Nian and Bo Qiu laughed one after another, which made Song Chengming laugh so hard that he was stunned.

Although many days had passed, every time the two of them saw his exaggerated look, they couldn't help but want to say something.

This child is so honest.
