How to capture the evil villain? I choose to be his mother!

Chapter 517 The Useless Female Supporting Character's Sword Master Mother (20 pages)
Zhu Wen, who became famous overnight.

The Five Continents are in turmoil because of her, and various forces are eager to make their move.

Especially after learning that she was all alone, of unknown origin, and had no one else by her side except for a fake city lord's daughter...

Many sects and factions began to have their own ideas.

They were all thinking about how to recruit this supreme expert to their ranks.

Or even just being on good terms would be fine!
After embarking on the path of cultivation from mortal bones, one can live for eight hundred years starting from the Qi Refining stage.

The stronger you are, the longer you will live.

As for the experts in the Mahayana stage, they were all old monsters who had cultivated for thousands of years.

This also means that the division of interests among all parties has remained unchanged for many years.

Even if new powerful figures emerge, they cannot match the strength of these veterans.

For example, the rulers of the five continents have been in these positions for at least a thousand years.

The most unfathomable and longest-lived ruler of the Central Continent is said to have held this position for five thousand years.

Therefore, now that a peak Mahayana stage cultivator has suddenly emerged who is capable of challenging the Lord of the Central Continent, and who does not belong to any power or sect, who wouldn't be envious and want a share of the pie?
Moreover, after the battle of Bai'an City, Zhu Wen did not leave and chose to stay at the same inn.

However, Lu Zhuangzhuang, who used to live across the street from her, had moved away at some point.

Now the entire top floor... no, I should say the entire inn has become her domain.

The innkeeper, Mr. Wang, was very sensible and cleared the guests out early.

These guests were very sensible and didn't cause any trouble; they simply asked cautiously if they could take their belongings from the room.

Manager Wang was very generous and waved his hand to agree to everything, which could be considered as letting the guests absorb some of Master Zhu Wen's spiritual energy.

However, one of his simple-minded waiters asked:

"Now that we have no customers, how are we supposed to do business?"

Manager Wang was extremely disappointed in the waiter. If it weren't for the fact that this waiter was a descendant of his family from when he was a mortal, he would have kicked him out long ago!
"You short-sighted fool! Look at what's piled up by the door!"

Shopkeeper Wang pointed to the doorway, where gifts were piled up almost like a small mountain.

Countless invitations poured in, overwhelming them like snowflakes.

A large crowd had gathered in front of the inn, jostling and bustling, but strangely, there was no noise.

Some of them simply tried meditating and cultivating nearby to see if the environment near a peak Mahayana stage expert was any different from other places.

Some of them were simply driven by pure gossip, wanting to see what kind of person this Lord Zhu Wen, who could shatter the heavens with a single sword strike, was.

Some of them were simply ordinary people who regarded the stone lions at the entrance of the inn as auspicious beasts and hung sachets on them to express their prayers and gratitude.

...and similar incidents are too numerous to mention.

Everything around Manager Wang, including himself, has undergone tremendous changes.

Those who used to need his flattery and fawning are now the ones fawning over him.

"Brother Wang, we've known each other for so many years. Surely you can pass on a message to this sir for me?"

"Old Wang, I've already sent someone to your house what you wanted before. Why? Haha, isn't it just to keep our relationship going?"

"Back when we were kids running around in open-crotch pants, that was an unbreakable bond, a true friendship that no experience could erase! No, no, no, I'm not trying to make up an old friendship, I'm being sincere!"

"Brother Wang, it's been many years. May I ask if you are one of Lord Zhu Wen's men? I never expected that you would have such an experience after we parted ways at the academy. We would like to ask you to take the time to attend the academy's outstanding student reunion this year."

"..."

Manager Wang was initially quite pleased with himself.

Many of the people he's trying to curry favor with are people he's already tried to please but to no avail.

For example, his old classmate was someone he met at Zhongzhou Academy; his family had been cultivators for generations. As for Manager Wang, he was a genuine peasant.

Before he was fortunate enough to enter Zhongzhou Academy due to his high aptitude for cultivating immortality, his parents were farmers who made a living by digging in the soil.

At that time, his name was Wang Tieniu. He knew nothing but farming, but he was lucky enough to get into Zhongzhou Academy.

He originally thought that with his extraordinary talent for cultivating immortality that shocked the surrounding area, he could make a name for himself at the Central Continent Academy. However, in the Central Continent Academy, which was full of talented people, his talent could only be ranked at the bottom, and he could not even catch up with others.

His time at Zhongzhou Academy was the most glorious period of his life. After graduation, he worked as a bodyguard for several years, relying on the reputation of Zhongzhou Academy. Later, he used his savings to open this inn with a partner.

Over the years, Manager Wang's inn business has been doing quite well, ranking among the top in Bai'an City.

However, his classmates from that college still looked down on him and didn't even bother to invite him to their post-graduation reunion.

Even now, they are trying to curry favor with Lord Zhu Wen because of his reputation.

Not interesting.

This is utterly boring.

Manager Wang immediately deflated and began to sigh.

But he didn't forget to look through the gifts by the door.

"Be careful! These are all for Lord Zhu Wen!"

After scolding the waiter, he began to consider what items could be sent upstairs for Lord Zhu Wen to review.

Strange, I was chatting and laughing with Lord Zhu Wen before, and I didn't feel that Lord Zhu Wen was anything special. He was very approachable.

But after that battle, he would tremble like a mouse before a cat whenever he saw Lord Zhu Wen, even though Lord Zhu Wen's attitude remained unchanged.

Sigh, is this just a matter of mindset? Everything was fine before.

It doesn't seem like that beautiful young lady...

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

"Miss Ming!"

When Manager Wang saw Mingmiao walking down the stairs, he looked at her as if she were his savior.

Mingmiao, not understanding why, was called over by him:

"what happened?"

Shopkeeper Wang quickly inquired about what to do with the pile of gifts at the door.

"It's not that I, Lao Wang, wanted to accept them, but those people just dumped the gifts at the door and didn't care about anything else! I wanted to chase after them to return them, but it was too late!"

Manager Wang complained bitterly, clearly suffering greatly from the situation.

Mingmiao felt sorry for Manager Wang.

She felt intimidated by the mountain of gifts.

In the end, all I can say is:

"I'll go ask Sister Zhu."

Manager Wang felt a surge of respect:
"Amazing."

Mingmiao didn't understand.

Manager Wang then said:
"Now I feel scared whenever I see Lord Zhu Wen, and I always feel a chill down my neck. It's completely different from before! After all, he's a Mahayana stage expert! But Miss Ming, you haven't changed at all! Your mentality is much more stable than mine!"

Mingmiao was momentarily dazed.

Is it really... like this?
In the blink of an eye, Mingmiao was standing at the door of the room again, hesitating.
