When Bai Mengjin met Shang Liancheng in his previous life, Lord Shaoyang had already passed away, and the merchant didn't even have a Nascent Soul. He had to withdraw from the Fengwu City Elders Association, transfer most of the family property, and only retain the Star Building.
In fact, he was afraid of attracting attention, so he didn't even dare to run the Star Building properly.
Bai Mengjin asked him if he still wanted to restore the business to its former glory.
Shang Liancheng's eyes shone and he said without hesitation, "I want to."
Since then, his cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds, the Star Building has risen again, and the Shang family has returned to the Council of Elders.
And the merchants have also become the Jade Demon's spy in the world of immortality.
Just now, Ling Bufei asked how the storyteller learned about their deeds, and Bai Mengjin thought of Shang Liancheng.
People come and go in Zhaixing Tower, and there are many people from all walks of life in the world of cultivating immortals. These people are enough to form a dense news network. Coupled with the caravans that merchants lead to various places, this is the secret that the Jade Demon can keep track of the trends in the world of immortality at all times without appearing in front of people.
After being reborn, Bai Mengjin wanted to take Shang Liancheng back under her control when she first arrived at Fengwu City. However, her cultivation was insufficient at that time and the opportunity was not available.
Now it's finally time.
------------------
As night falls, the moonlight stone lanterns on both sides of the roads in Fengwucheng are lit one after another, decorating a prosperous city that never sleeps.
A carriage decorated with gold and jade was pulled by a white hoofed black horse and accompanied by two guards. It drove slowly along the main road until it stopped at the Star-Zhailing Tower.
However, tonight was really weird. There were no guests at all in the Star-Zhaing Tower, which used to be bustling with people. The door was full of guards, and the room was dimly lit, as if there were many people walking around.
As soon as the carriage approached, someone came up to stop him: "If you come, stay! The Star Reaching Tower is not accepting guests tonight, so please go elsewhere!"
He said please, but his tone did not allow for rejection.
The two guards frowned, and one of them stepped forward to report.
The carriage was quiet for a moment, and suddenly there was a sound of "hum", and then the door opened, and two rows of maids filed out, holding flowers, offering incense, holding fans... everything.
The guard didn't take it seriously at first. The guests who came to Zhaixinglou included many young men from aristocratic families, and many of them spent a lot of money. However, he was suddenly knocked down by a colleague beside him, and he whispered: "Look at these maids, they don't seem to be alive?"
The man glanced at him and took a breath of cold air. These maids all have graceful figures and picturesque features, and they look no different from ordinary people. However, each of them looks the same, their smiles are indescribably stiff, and there is no life in them at all. They are indeed not alive.
"Is it a zombie?" I heard that in the early years, some demon cultivators would turn living people into zombies for themselves to drive. However, after the Demon-Sealing War, the Demon Cultivator disappeared and disappeared. Isn’t it possible that I was so unlucky that I encountered the real one?
"What are you thinking?" His companion couldn't help but roll his eyes, "I mean, they seem to be puppets, look at their necks."
The guard looked closely and found that there was a gap in the necks of these maids, and he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
It's really scary, puppets are nothing, many aristocratic families will use puppets as servants - wait, this kind of puppet that is no different from a real person seems to be very expensive to make, it would be nice to have one or two attendants, the owner of this carriage There are so many, what’s the origin?
The guard had this idea together, but before he could figure it out, the last maid came out.
She has a fair complexion, a beautiful face, and a sense of arrogance in her eyebrows. She is a real person.
She said: "Zhaixing Tower doesn't accept guests? Isn't it right? We clearly sent a message to Boss Shang to reserve a room? Why are we still going back on our word?"
For a maid to be so arrogant, she really is from a wealthy family. The guard couldn't help but be a little polite and replied: "Girl, there is something going on at Zhaixing Tower today, and it is not convenient for guests. Please find another inn."
He thought he was polite enough, but he didn't expect that the maid wouldn't give him any respect. She said coldly: "It's now, where do you want us to go? All major inns have to reserve high-end rooms in advance. When we go out, we have to eat." There are standards for wear and tear, so how can you stay when you go somewhere else temporarily?"
Guard your heart, Feng Wu
As a top fairy city, the city has many luxury inns. It's a temporary move-in. As long as there is still a room in Tianzihao, we can discuss it. It's just that we didn't prepare in advance and the conditions may be a little worse. Why can't we stay?
I didn't agree with it in my heart, and what I said out loud was: "Girl, Zhaixinglou is really not accepting guests today, please!"
"You -" the maid was angry at him, and then she saw a figure walking in the lobby, and she changed to a sneer, "Why don't you treat guests? I clearly saw someone inside, why, others can live in it, but we can't? Do you know that we Who is the young master? We have to stay here today!"
It wasn't long after this new guard was appointed. In the past, when he patrolled the city, others were polite to him. This was the first time I saw him so arrogant, and I couldn't help but look sad. Read the book
"Girl, why are you being unreasonable? If the inn is open, of course you can stay there, but today the door is closed to thank guests, do you still want to force your way in?"
"What's wrong with breaking in? Are you still justified in going back on your word? I want to see which company Boss Shang is clinging to. He would rather let someone occupy the entire building than drive away the scheduled guests. "
After that, she shouted: "Why are you still standing there? Someone is bullying the young master, and you still won't take action?"
The guards heard the sound and were on alert, but saw the puppet maids all responding "yes". The objects they held in their hands flickered, some turned into knives, some turned into swords... There were all kinds of weird weapons, and they came forward. .
"Stop!" the guard yelled and drew his sword, "We are under the orders of the Elder Council. If we dare to take action in Fengwu City, we are not allowed to take another step in the future."
The maid didn't take it seriously at all. She raised her hand and waved, and the two sides started fighting. There was a loud clanging sound, attracting passers-by nearby to watch the excitement.
"What's going on? Someone is actually making trouble in the Star Reaching Tower? How brave!"
"I just heard that this girl said that they had already reserved a room, and it was against the rules for Boss Shang not to let her stay, so she got angry."
"Isn't that right? The Star Reaching Tower has been closed for several days, and the other guests have also found other places to stay. This girl is too overbearing, and it is really difficult for a high-class family to take care of her."
"But what she said is right. She obviously booked a room in advance, but she said she wouldn't let her stay there. How could this make sense?"
"Yes, let's at least give you some compensation..."
"I think it's too late to be kind. Look at how elegant this girl is. She's just a maid! Is the high-class family short of money? All they're fighting for is face!"
Amid the discussion, the fight in front of the Zhaixing Building became more and more intense.
The guards of the fairy city are well-trained, and although their individual cultivation levels are not high, their formation strength is extraordinary, and the puppet maid gradually falls into a disadvantage.
Two guards then joined the battle group. They had alchemy cultivation and instantly reversed the situation. The guards fell to pieces.
This movement finally attracted the attention of the people in the building. On the top floor, someone opened the window to take a look and said to the person next to him: "The car is the emblem of the Yongzhou Mo family. Is his son so flamboyant?"
