Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Manager Qiao certainly didn't think that someone who could casually take out tens of millions of spirit stones to bid on things would be someone easy to bully.

After careful consideration, Steward Qiao said:

"Well, since Mr. Zhou has put it that way, I have nothing more to say."

"How about this, as long as you can provide us with information about Elder Wu, we can help you deliver the message, but in your name."

Yu Changsheng sneered inwardly. This guy knew perfectly well that Elder Wu's whereabouts were extremely secretive, yet he didn't say anything, clearly indicating that he didn't want to send a message.

However, Yu Changsheng would not give him another chance to back out.

"It can't be in my name; it has to be in the auction house's name. This is something your auction house owes me!"

"Besides, this matter has not caused any loss to your auction house. As long as you send this letter, I will not mention the previous matter again."

"Otherwise, the fact that your auction house leaked my information will become common knowledge in Sanling Town, and I'll let the entire town of Sanling judge the matter."

Manager Qiao took a deep breath, not expecting Yu Changsheng's attitude to be so firm.

However, sending a letter was enough to quell the incident.

It doesn't seem to be anything too troublesome.

"Alright, in that case, please tell us Elder Wu's location, Mr. Zhou."

Yu Changsheng smiled and said, "It's a deal!"

"Elder Wu is inside the City Lord's Mansion. I saw him in the city with my own eyes. This letter is for you."

Manager Qiao's face immediately darkened. He had wondered why Yu Changsheng insisted on using their auction to send a message; now he knew it was for this reason.

The city lord's mansion is indeed not a place that just anyone can enter.

"Alright, I'll try to find a way to help you with this."

Manager Qiao took the letter and left without saying a word.

Yu Changsheng also breathed a sigh of relief. He was also worried that these few managers Qiao were determined not to get involved, and he didn't have a good solution.

Fortunately, Manager Qiao was not an inflexible person, which saved him a lot of trouble.

Outside the city lord's mansion.

Manager Qiao arrived at the door and said to the guard:

"Please inform the city lord that there is something at the auction house that needs to be given to Elder Wu."

"Okay, just a moment."

The guard turned and went into the courtyard to report the matter to Wang Haitang.

Wang Haite was also slightly puzzled after learning about this.

"Does the auction house have something to give to Elder Wu? Did they say what it is?"

The guard shook his head, indicating that he did not know.

Wang Haitang said, "In that case, let him go in and talk to Elder Wu himself."

Wang Haitang didn't suspect anything and casually gave the order.

Soon, Steward Qiao arrived at Elder Wu's residence.

Elder Wu's residence was located within the city lord's mansion, in a very secluded and quiet courtyard with pleasant scenery, where almost no one could be seen.

However, this kind of place is just right for Elder Wu and others to cultivate in seclusion.

Manager Qiao had been keeping a close eye on his surroundings. He never expected that there would be such a place inside the City Lord's Mansion. Even people who had been to the City Lord's Mansion in person might not know about this place.

I don't know how Zhou Wangzhi found out about this place.

At this moment, Manager Qiao was even more curious about Zhou Wangzhi's identity, and was also glad that things hadn't gotten too awkward before.

Otherwise, things might get out of control. Once the auction house realizes Zhou Wangzhi's influence, they'll probably give up themselves in exchange for Zhou Wangzhi's forgiveness.

By then, it would be too late for regrets.

When Steward Qiao arrived at the door, the guard who had led the way knocked gently.

A short while later, a young Taoist boy came over and asked, "What is it? Elder Wu is currently in meditation and does not wish to be disturbed."

The guard immediately explained his purpose. Seeing that it was Elder Wu's matter, the young Taoist asked the two to wait a moment while he went in to inform him.

When the door opened again, Elder Wu had already walked out slowly.

"Manager Qiao, what brings you here?"

Elder Wu had naturally met him at the auction, but it was quite unexpected that Manager Qiao would come again now, saying that he had something to give him.

Manager Qiao glanced at the guard beside him and said with a smile, "Elder Wu, there's one item from the auction that we haven't had a chance to give to you yet. We need you to go and check it yourself."

As he spoke, Steward Qiao handed over Yu Changsheng's letter.

"The letter contains information about that thing; Elder Wu will know what it is once he reads it."

Elder Wu noticed the unusual expression on Steward Qiao's face and quickly realized that there must be some things that were inconvenient to say directly, which was why he asked him to go to the auction to discuss them in person.

Although he didn't understand what Manager Qiao wanted to do, he had nothing else to do at the moment, so he agreed.

"Okay, you can go back now. I'll come pick it up later."

Manager Qiao nodded. "This item must be inspected by Elder Wu personally. I shall take my leave now."

The guards immediately took Steward Qiao away.

Elder Wu watched the two figures disappear into the distance, lost in thought.

Upon opening the letter, Elder Wu was even more puzzled by its contents, and then said to the young Taoist beside him:

"I'm going out for a bit. You stay here and keep watch."

As for Wang Haitang, the guards immediately informed him of the matter after seeing Manager Qiao off.

"Is it just sending things?"

The guard said, "I heard from Steward Qiao that Elder Wu is indeed required to retrieve something. However, it seems that Elder Wu must retrieve it in person."

Wang Haitang said, "Alright, you can go now."

After the guard left, Wang Haitang summoned another man and immediately gave the order:

"Go to the auction house in the city, find out what's going on, and see what Manager Qiao is up to. If there's anything unusual, notify me immediately."

"yes!"

During the auction.

Manager Qiao arrived at Yu Changsheng's room. "Mr. Zhou, I have delivered your letter. Elder Wu should arrive here soon."

"real?"

Yu Changsheng clapped his hands, and couldn't help but show an excited expression on his face. It seemed that the plan was going very smoothly.

Yu Changsheng pulled out a bag of spirit stones, which contained at least several thousand spirit stones.

Such a large sum is quite a lot for some cultivators, enough to cover their expenses for several years.

Seeing this, Manager Qiao didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the money directly, since he had indeed done work for Yu Changsheng.

Moreover, while several thousand spirit stones might be a lot for others, it's nothing for someone like Yu Changsheng. Manager Qiao is well aware of this, so why not take advantage of it?

Before long, Elder Wu arrived, and Steward Qiao quickly stepped forward to greet him, but Elder Wu did not waste any more time.

Let's get straight to the point and let Manager Qiao speak frankly.

Manager Qiao then led Elder Wu to Yu Changsheng's room.

Upon entering the room and seeing Yu Changsheng's face, Elder Wu immediately tried to recall if he had seen this person before.

However, after thinking for a long time, I still couldn't figure out who this person was.

Yu Changsheng said, "Thank you for your trouble, Steward Qiao. May I speak with Elder Wu alone?"

"Please go ahead."

Manager Qiao immediately left, knowing that he was out of trouble.

Once only the two of them were left in the room, Yu Changsheng revealed his face.

Elder Wu was even more puzzled when he saw his appearance.

Because he didn't recognize Yu Changsheng's original appearance, but his actions did earn Elder Wu some goodwill, since voluntarily revealing his identity showed that he was indeed sincere.

"Who exactly are you? I don't think I've ever seen you before."

Yu Changsheng said, "This disciple's name is Yu Changsheng. I greet Elder Wu."

Elder Wu's eyes widened immediately. "You're Yu Changsheng?"

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

The way they looked at Yu Changsheng at that moment changed completely.

As the saying goes, a person's fate is determined by the shadow of the tree of life. Although Yu Changsheng's status within the Sea Beast Heavenly Island is not high...

However, he was quite famous, and many elders already knew him.

At the beginning, he became famous for wiping out several pirate forces in the North Sea.

Later, he single-handedly killed the Seventh Holy Son, which made him famous throughout the entire Sea Beast Heavenly Island.

More recently, Yu Changsheng assisted the Sixth Holy Maiden, Chen Xueqing, in successfully enabling her to win the final victory, even surpassing the strongest First Holy Son.

Although Chen Xueqing took the main credit, as the only surviving teammate of Chen Xueqing, he naturally attracted a lot of attention.

How could Elder Wu not take the initiative to pay attention to such an extraordinary person?

What Elder Wu didn't expect was that he would meet him in this way today, which was also beyond his expectations.

"Yu Changsheng, so it's you. Heh, I've heard of you before; you're quite an extraordinary person. But why are you meeting me in this way today?"

Yu Changsheng said, "Elder Wu, the matter is urgent today, and I can only explain the situation as quickly as possible. Please forgive me, Elder Wu."

Elder Wu became much more serious upon seeing this.

"What exactly do you want from me?"

Yu Changsheng said, "Whether the Fifth Elder believes it or not, I will tell the truth."

"The people who kidnapped your granddaughter were from Feng Piao Ge! I saw it with my own eyes that night; it was people from Feng Piao Ge who kidnapped your granddaughter and then handed her over to the Xie family."

"What?"

Elder Wu immediately stepped forward, grabbed Yu Changsheng, and asked:

"Are you telling the truth?"

Yu Changsheng said earnestly, "I would absolutely not dare to deceive Elder Wu about this matter!"

"The Xie family was actually killed by a joint operation of two major families, Fengpiao Pavilion, and the City Lord's Mansion. Now they can only flee and scatter to various places."

"Given this situation, how could they possibly dare to kidnap Elder Wu's granddaughter? Wouldn't that just create more enemies?"

Elder Wu frowned, carefully considering the veracity of Yu Changsheng's words.

At this moment, he really couldn't be sure who was telling the truth.

Neither the City Lord's Mansion nor this Yu Changsheng seemed to have any reason to deceive themselves.

However, Yu Changsheng was willing to risk being discovered by the people of the City Lord's Mansion to tell him this matter, which forced Elder Wu to carefully consider its authenticity.

Why did you tell me this? Is it because you have a grudge against the Wang family?

Yu Changsheng nodded and said, "The Wang family has been targeting me at every turn, so naturally I must retaliate!"

"However, I have no intention of using Elder Wu. Even if I had ten times the courage, I would not dare to disrespect Elder Wu!"

"However, I simply cannot stand by and watch Wang Haitang deceive Elder Wu."

Elder Wu suddenly thought of something and immediately asked:

"Wait, how did you know that Wang Haitang had fulfilled his promise to me? Do you have an inside agent in the City Lord's Mansion?"

Yu Changsheng explained, "That's not the case. I just know that Elder Wu's granddaughter was kidnapped by the people from Feng Piao Pavilion."

"But Elder Wu has always lived in the city lord's mansion. This strange situation is really puzzling to me. Therefore, I can only suspect that Wang Haitang has deceived Elder Wu."

Elder Wu nodded in agreement; Yu Changsheng's suspicions were indeed valid.

However, he still couldn't completely trust Yu Changsheng, but deep down he was beginning to have doubts about Wang Haitang.

After all, with Wang Haitang's immense influence, it's impossible that he still hasn't heard any news about his granddaughter for so long.

Besides, the Xie family had no grudge against him, and it was impossible for them to kidnap his granddaughter without any reason.

He hadn't really thought about it carefully before.

But now, reminded by Yu Changsheng, he belatedly realized that the demise of the Xie family was indeed quite strange.

Everything seemed suspicious, especially the Xie family. Their attempt to rob a private auction resulted in their own destruction and death, which was truly bizarre.

In particular, the two major families and the city lord's mansion seemed to have been prepared in advance, as if they had received word of it beforehand.

Looking back now, it's more likely that they were the ones who started the trouble.

Elder Wu said, "Since that's the case, what do you want to do? Now that my granddaughter is in Wang Haitang's hands, I can't easily make trouble for him."

"Otherwise, my granddaughter's life would certainly be in danger."

Yu Changsheng said, "Of course I know that."

"Therefore, I will help Elder Wu to save your granddaughter! However, I myself am not strong enough and also need Elder Wu's help."

Elder Wu said, "As long as you can bring me back that girl Wu Qianqian, I will grant you any help you ask for."

At this moment, Elder Wu felt the same way. Regardless of whether what Yu Changsheng said was true or false, he decided to let him try it. The truth would naturally come out in time.

Yu Changsheng was overjoyed and said, "In that case, I have more confidence! With Elder Wu's support, I can definitely help you bring Miss Wu back!"

Elder Wu nodded and handed him a communication jade slip.

"With this, you can contact me anytime."

"No!"

Yu Changsheng refused outright, but still accepted the communication jade slip in case of emergency.

"If the number of communication jade slips in Elder Wu's courtyard increases, it will surely arouse Wang Haitang's suspicion."

"Therefore, we cannot communicate directly and can only use other methods."

Elder Wu also thought it made sense.

But if they can't communicate via the jade slip, how can they do so? He can't keep meeting with Yu Changsheng alone all the time; that would only arouse more suspicion.

And it would be impossible for Yu Changsheng to easily enter the city lord's mansion.

As for Elder Wu leaving the City Lord's Mansion, that's even more impossible. After all, Elder Wu's sudden departure from the City Lord's Mansion would very likely arouse Wang Haitang's suspicion.

Therefore, the best approach is to remain unchanged in the face of all changes and refrain from making any rash moves for the time being.

As for how to contact them, Yu Changsheng also had a way.

"Elder Wu only needs to send your disciple out once a year. For urgent matters, send a message via jade slip." (End of Chapter)
