Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Lu Erhu swallowed hard, seeing Wang Haitang's intense reaction.

One can imagine that the contents of that letter were certainly not pleasant words.

He couldn't figure out what Mr. Zhou wanted to do, and could only hope that Mr. Zhou knew who he was dealing with.

Not to mention, this is Wang Haitang's territory, and even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake.

Wang Haitang asked, "Where did you meet Yu Changsheng?"

Lu Erhu immediately replied, "It's at the Longlai Inn. You can ask the innkeeper there if you don't believe me; he's definitely seen it."

"very good!"

Wang Haitang sneered repeatedly, "You did a good job this time. What reward do you want?"

Lu Erhu took out the jade pendant and said:

"I am already content to serve the city lord; how could I dare to ask for any reward?"

"However, I do have a small wish. If the city lord can grant it, I will follow your lead in the future."

Wang Haitang asked, "Alright, tell me, what is your wish?"

Lu Erhu presented the jade pendant in his hand and said, "I wish to see Elder Wu, so I present this to you."

"If the city lord could grant me a meeting, I would be more than satisfied."

Wang Haitang glanced at the jade pendant in Lu Erhu's hand; it was ordinary and unremarkable.

"Just to meet him once? Why do you want to see him?"

Lu Erhu was already terrified, after all, none of what he said was true.

"I once met Elder Wu's granddaughter, Wu Qianqian, by chance. She wanted to buy this jade pendant from me."

"But I didn't know Ms. Wu Qianqian at the time, and I wasn't satisfied with the price, so I didn't sell it."

"But when I saw her again at the auction, I learned that the young lady was actually Elder Wu's granddaughter."

"I have now understood and am willing to present this jade pendant."

After hearing this, Wang Haitang understood that this guy wanted to use this opportunity to climb the social ladder.

However, due to his lowly status, he didn't even have the chance to meet Elder Wu.

After all, Elder Wu has always lived a secluded life and rarely appears in front of ordinary people.

Within the entire Sanling Town, there are probably no more than five people who know where Elder Wu is.

However, Wang Haitang sneered after hearing this, thinking that such people's ideas were truly laughable.

A mere tattered jade pendant, and he dares to curry favor with a dignified elder of the Sea Beast Heavenly Island?

Do you really think Elder Wu would be interested in such junk?

Moreover, this jade pendant is just an ordinary object; it's just that the design is well-carved, and the craftsman's skill is indeed superb.

But then I thought about it again, and Wu Qianqian is just an ordinary person, so it's understandable that she doesn't understand these things.

Wang Haitang asked, "Do you really want this reward? Let me remind you, I can only let you see Elder Wu, and that's all."

"If you push your luck, don't blame me for not warning you."

Lu Erhu understood that Wang Haitang meant he was willing to meet him, but it was absolutely impossible for him to speak on his behalf.

Lu Erhu nodded repeatedly and said, "Of course, no problem. I just want to see him. I have absolutely no other intentions."

Wang Haitang said, "Alright, you wait here for now. When Elder Wu arrives, I will naturally send someone to teach you."

Lu Erhu was overjoyed and said, "Thank you very much, Lord City Lord. I'll take my leave now."

After Lu Erhu left, Wang Haitang looked at the letter in his hand, and his expression turned grim again.

"Men, immediately gather a group of people and surround the Longlai Inn!"

Lu Erhu went to a secluded spot and casually found a place to sit down.

The main problem was that no one was there to receive him, and he didn't know where to go.

So Lu Erhu simply waited there for a while, and fortunately, he didn't have to wait too long.

Then a maid came over and told Lu Erhu to come along.

Soon Lu Erhu was taken to a pavilion.

Inside the pavilion.

Elder Wu and Wang Haitang, both dressed in white, were among them.

Elder Wu asked:

"Lord Wang, is there news of my granddaughter? Why did you suddenly summon me here?"

Wang Haitang said, "Mr. Wu, I'm doing everything I can to find your granddaughter. Please rest assured!"

Elder Wu also wanted to urge them on this matter, but he knew that it couldn't be rushed, so he didn't say anything more.

If he didn't lack manpower here, and if it weren't for the fact that in Sanling Town, his manpower would certainly be less efficient than the people from the City Lord's Mansion in searching, he wouldn't have needed to send Wang Haitang to search.

"Since that's the case, and it's not my granddaughter's business, then what else could it be?"

Wang Haitang immediately ordered someone to summon Lu Erhu, who was waiting outside.

Upon seeing this person, Elder Wu couldn't help but frown.

"Who is this person?"

Wang Haitang briefly explained the situation.

Elder Wu, growing impatient, retorted, "What kind of scoundrel dares to come looking for me? Throw him out!"

Wang Haitang nodded and said, "Alright, someone come and get him!"

Poor Lu Erhu, he didn't even get to see Elder Wu before being driven out.

Although Lu Erhu wanted to try again, Wang Haitang showed no mercy and drove him away directly.

"Get lost and don't ever come back, you hear me? Or don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The guard at the door kicked Lu Erhu in the buttocks, knocking him to the ground.

Lu Erhu left with a wrinkled face, rubbing his buttocks, and muttering to himself.

Upon leaving the city lord's mansion, Lu Erhu immediately informed Yu Changsheng of the matter, as planned.

To Lu Erhu's surprise, he didn't even get to see Elder Wu this time.

However, Yu Changsheng had already anticipated this, and regardless of whether he met him or not, he instructed Lu Erhu to wait outside to see if Elder Wu would leave.

Meanwhile, inside the Longlai Inn.

Yu Changsheng had been waiting for a long time.

After glancing at the time, Yu Changsheng estimated it and muttered to himself, "Heh, it's about time, isn't it?"

Sure enough, not long after, a commotion was heard downstairs.

Yu Changsheng had already changed into Zhou Wangzhi's appearance and went straight downstairs.

Then they saw a large group of people dressed as cultivators from the city lord's mansion surround and attack them.

Yu Changsheng sat outside and watched as these people quietly went upstairs.

One of them approached the shopkeeper, took out a portrait, and asked:

"Did this person enter your store earlier?"

After examining it carefully for a while, the shopkeeper nodded emphatically and said:

"There is indeed such a person; he is in a guest room on the second floor."

So when he glanced at the portrait, wasn't the person in the painting himself?

Sure enough, these people came immediately after receiving the news.

Soon, those people entered Yu Changsheng's room, only to find that the room was already empty.

The person in charge of the arrest was furious, never expecting that the guy would get away so easily.

They simply ordered a search in other areas.

Yu Changsheng didn't linger there either, and quickly headed towards the City Lord's Mansion to meet up with Lu Erhu.

Seeing him waiting by the roadside, Yu Changsheng immediately went up to him and asked:

"How is the situation?"

Lu Erhu was taken aback when he saw Yu Changsheng walking over so openly.

"Mr. Zhou, aren't you afraid of being watched?"

Yu Changsheng said, "Don't worry, even if someone is watching us, they won't take direct action. Elder Wu, did you see him come out?"

"Not yet, I wonder what Elder Wu is doing."

Yu Changsheng frowned. It had taken him at least fifteen minutes to get here from the inn, and with the time spent getting there and back, it had taken quite a while.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

But Elder Wu didn't come out for a long time. Could it be that Elder Wu has been staying in the city lord's mansion all along?

Yu Changsheng stroked his chin; it wasn't entirely impossible.

Yu Changsheng gave Lu Erhu several dozen spirit stones and said, "Go and ask that guard for me."

Lu Erhu took the spirit stone and asked, "Why?"

A moment later, Lu Erhu arrived in front of the guard.

Upon seeing him, the guard immediately looked impatient and said:

"Get lost, I won't waste my breath on you a second time."

Lu Erhu took out more than a dozen spirit stones and said:

"Sir, I don't want to go back in, but I want to ask a question."

The gatekeeper, seeing the spirit stones in Lu Erhu's hand, accepted them with satisfaction and asked:

"Speak up, don't waste my time."

Lu Erhu thought with disdain, "What a waste of time for a mere gatekeeper like you."

"I wonder if Elder Wu entered through this door earlier?"

The guard said, "So that's what you wanted to ask? Looks like you're still not giving up."

"To tell you the truth, Elder Wu has always lived in the City Lord's Mansion. Otherwise, how could you have seen him?"

Lu Erhu looked disappointed and had no choice but to take his leave.

Seeing Lu Erhu slink away, the guard sneered, "You think you can curry favor with Elder Wu? Bah!"

Lu Erhu immediately informed Yu Changsheng of this news.

Upon hearing this, Yu Changsheng frowned and said:

"This seems to be a bit troublesome. Getting into the City Lord's Mansion isn't so easy."

Lu Erhu was also startled after hearing this.

"You want to go into the City Lord's Mansion? Mr. Zhou, that's absolutely forbidden! The City Lord's Mansion is fraught with danger. If we're discovered, it'll be disastrous!"

Yu Changsheng said, "Of course I know that, and there may be other ways. Now that we've found Elder Wu, we're already halfway there."

"Now that we've come this far, the rest will be much simpler."

Yu Changsheng said, "You should go back first. I'll come find you later."

Although Lu Erhu was worried, he still left.

Yu Changsheng immediately went to the location of the auction house in the city.

In this Sanling Town, the only people Yu Changsheng can talk to besides Lu Erhu are the auction houses.

After all, he still had a platinum card for the auction house, and with that card, the auction house wouldn't refuse to serve him.

Upon arriving at the auction house, Yu Changsheng immediately presented his card.

Although it's not currently the auction time, as long as you have the platinum card for this auction, you can attend any auction, even if there isn't one.

You can also stay in the rooms provided by the auction at any time, for as long as you want, and even food and lodging are free.

The treatment was quite good, but it was something Yu Changsheng had spent tens of millions of spirit stones to obtain.

Upon entering the auction house, a maid quickly came to greet us.

After Yu Changsheng explained his purpose, he was immediately arranged to stay in a specific place.

It wasn't the start of the auction yet, so there weren't many people, and it was quite deserted.

However, this kind of environment is actually quite pleasing.

But Yu Changsheng didn't come here for a vacation; he came with a specific purpose.

After entering his residence, Yu Changsheng asked the maid to arrange a meeting with the manager of the auction house.

The maid had no authority to decide on this request and could only report the situation to higher authorities for the time being.

However, for a distinguished guest like Yu Changsheng, simply requesting a meeting was not a difficult matter.

Soon, the manager came to meet Yu Changsheng in his room.

The steward already knew about Yu Changsheng's information.

Moreover, the steward also had a strong impression of Yu Changsheng.

How could the manager not pay attention to someone who could make the auction house make an exception to allow Miss Xie to meet him?

"Mr. Zhou, I am Qiao Yin, the manager here. May I ask what brings you here specifically?"

Manager Qiao got straight to the point and immediately began asking questions.

Yu Changsheng said, "Hehe, Steward Qiao, I've come this time to ask you for a small favor."

Manager Qiao said, "Since Mr. Zhou has something to ask of you, please feel free to ask. As long as it is within our capabilities, we can help."

Yu Changsheng took out a letter and said:

"I would like to ask your auction house to deliver this letter to Elder Wu."

Manager Qiao immediately frowned. If it were a normal matter, their auction house would definitely help.

But since the matter involves Manager Qiao, it's not something that can be agreed to casually.

"Hehe, I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou. Our auction house has always refrained from interfering in the private affairs of our VIPs."

"If it's anything else, our auction house is happy to help, but if it involves other aspects, we hope Mr. Zhou can understand our auction house's situation."

Yu Changsheng asked, "I just asked you to help deliver a message."

Manager Qiao said with difficulty, "If it were just a message to someone else, it would be fine, but we have no idea where Elder Wu is."

"How can I deliver the letter to you? Please don't make things difficult for me, Mr. Zhou."

Yu Changsheng crossed his arms. "Your auction house exposed my information last time, are you just going to let it go like that?"

Manager Qiao felt a chill in his heart. Why was this guy bringing up this matter again?

Even the Xie family is finished now, and he thought Zhou Wangzhi would never mention this matter again.

However, regardless of the circumstances, the auction house was indeed at fault in this matter.

Manager Qiao was troubled:

"I do feel guilty about this matter, Mr. Zhou, but it's all in the past now. Besides, the Xie family no longer poses any danger to you, so you don't need to worry anymore."

Yu Changsheng snorted, "I don't care about the Xie family. I only care that since your auction house dared to leak my information, why didn't you even dare to send a message to the Fifth Elder? Do you really think I can be bullied at will?" (End of Chapter)
