The woman in white didn't want to be exposed yet, so she asked Luo Qingyun to come forward to handle the matter.
Luo Qingyun sent a message to Wen Zizhen, and not long after, the real master arrived.
"Misunderstanding, huge misunderstanding!"
As soon as Wen Zizhen came in, he cried out: "Fairy Luo, there is another hidden story behind this matter, and it is definitely not what you think."
"City Master Wen, please be patient."
Luo Qingyun stretched out her hand and invited Wen Zizhen to sit down, "Since the city lord is here today, why don't we sit down and talk about what's going on."
"That's exactly what I mean."
Wen Zizhen sat down and then sighed: "It's embarrassing to say that, the Yuan family is quite close to me.
Occasionally when there is a lot of business in the house, I will leave some less important matters to the families below, including the Yuan family.
I have been busy preparing for the auction recently and have no time to take care of other things, so I asked the Yuan family to go to the wild market for me. "
At this point, Wenzi's face showed real anger, "I didn't expect this Yuan family to be so bold as to dare to embezzle it!
After they returned home, they first delayed time on the grounds that the seal of the treasure had not been unlocked.
I have always felt reassured by them, so I just accepted it and didn't pay much attention to the Yuan family's movements.
I never thought... yesterday they bribed a wild steward and fled with their whole family! "
Luo Qingyun's brows relaxed slightly after hearing this. If the facts are as Wen Zizhen said, he should have arrested the only daughter of the Yuan family to get the treasure back, and there was nothing wrong with her.
She thought like this, and when she saw Wen Zhen sighed, she said, "I was a step too slow and only caught the daughter of the head of the Yuan family, trying to negotiate with the Yuan family to get them to hand over the treasure.
It's a pity that Yuan Zhiping is a ruthless person. His affection for his daughter was just a pretense. He fled with his family to the territory of Wanmai Sword Sect without any news.
The auction is coming soon, and I can't spare any time to look for traces of the Yuan family, so I can only lock up the woman temporarily and wait until the burial of Emperor Tianlong is held before I deal with it. "
When Luo Qingyun heard this, her expression softened completely, "I was wrong to blame the city lord."
"It doesn't matter."
Wen Zizhen waved his hand, "I was also impulsive and acted recklessly. There were a lot of rumors from the outside world. It is normal for fairies to misunderstand."
Luo Qingyun smiled, "I would also like to thank City Master Wen for taking the time to come over and explain.
Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, I won’t stay with the city lord any longer. After I finish the auction, I will entertain the city lord again as an apology. "
"Fairy Luo, you're welcome."
Wen Zizhen clasped his fists slightly and said, "I have some important things to do, so I won't bother you anymore and I'll take my leave."
"Walk slowly."
As soon as Wen Zizhen left, the smile on Luo Qingyun's face immediately faded.
Lin Beilan and others walked out of the inner hall.
Tang Yin was young and could not bear it the most. She was the first to speak: "Senior sister, are his words credible?"
Luo Qingyun shook her head, "It's hard to say. What you heard outside is one side of the story, and what he said is also one side of the story. Which one is right and which one is wrong needs to be verified."
"I think it would be too smooth to answer this article."
Bai Miaoyin, who had always been taciturn, suddenly said, "It seems that she has been prepared for a long time and is waiting for us to ask."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the women darkened.
Luo Qingyun thought for a moment and said, "Wenzi's cultivation is not low, so we can't send people to keep an eye on him.
However, he will have to go to the Tomb of Emperor Tianlong sooner or later. Once he leaves, the guards in the mansion will be empty, and we will have plenty of time to contact the only daughter of the Yuan family. "
"Yin'er and I will stay."
Yin Lu took the initiative to stand up.
She was already very old before she came to Xizhou. Although she had made some breakthroughs in her cultivation when she came to Xizhou, she was still old and lacked potential. She had no hope of becoming a god, so she naturally had no interest in the Tomb of the Heavenly Dragon Emperor.
If it hadn't been about Xiang Shen, she wouldn't have come to join in the fun.
Tang Yin knew that her cultivation level was the lowest, she had just formed the Nascent Soul, and her realm was not yet stable, so she was not suitable to go to the Tomb of Emperor Tianlong, so she immediately readily accepted Yin Lu's proposal.
"Then the matter is settled."
Luo Qingyun made her decision, "Senior Sister Yin, you and Yin'er will investigate more. If the facts are different from what Wen Zizhen said, you don't have to wait for us to come out of the tomb and directly take the Yuan family's only daughter back to the clan. .
Come to think of it, no matter how sane Wenzi is, he will not offend our Piaoxue Palace for his own selfish desires. "
Yin Lu smiled and nodded, "Yin'er and I will get to the bottom of this matter, don't worry."
Let’s not talk about the rest of the trivial matters in the city for now.
Time flies by like a white horse passing by.
In the blink of an eye, the day agreed upon by Master Tianlong arrived, and the auction finally started under the spotlight.
There are tens of thousands of monks in the city, and all of them want to enter the auction and see the lineup of Tianlong laymen.
Wen Zizhen had expected this scene a long time ago and invited the owner of Xianchen Inn to take action with a large sum of money.
The origin of the owner of Fairy Dust Inn is very mysterious, and no one knows his specific identity, but one of his subordinates has traveled far and wide in Tu Xing, and is quite famous.
In just one month, the man built a stone tower three hundred feet wide and eighty feet high outside the north city gate.
This morning, as soon as the earth building was opened, monks from all walks of life came to hear the news.
"The entrance fee is three hundred low-grade spiritual stones!"
The guard of the tulou shouted loudly, and the crowd in front of the tulou fell silent at first, and then became excited.
"What? Three hundred spiritual stones! Why don't you go and grab it?!"
"This is too much!"
"A female businessman falsely calls herself a Taoist!"
Everyone yelled and cursed, but there were many people who could curse, and even more people came in with spirit stones.
The earth building is indeed very big, but who knows whether Wenzi will really let everyone in, so it is better to enter early and feel at ease in the morning.
So with just one entry, Wen Zi really made a lot of money and smiled happily.
"The city lord has good tricks."
At the auction venue, in the private room of Tianzi No. 4, a tall and thin middle-aged monk in black said with a smile:
"In this short period of time, the City Lord's Mansion has made tens of millions of spiritual stones, which is even more profitable than our Fairy Dust Inn."
Listening to the other party's praise, Wen Zi really felt very grateful, but on the surface he said modestly:
"Friends from the underworld are ridiculous. I'm just taking advantage of the east wind to make a fortune. It's just a one-off deal. It can't compare to the steady flow of water in the Fairy Dust Inn."
"Why does Lord Wen have to be humble?"
The middle-aged monk in black chuckled, "Even my master has personally praised the city lord's method of collecting wealth."
"really?"
Fumiko really showed a flattered expression, "It's worth dying to be praised by Senior Xianchen."
As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged monk in black twitched his eyes and secretly wiped the goosebumps on his hands.
This article is really as shameless as the rumors say. He can even say such things without being too disgusting.
I heard that this person could grow from a humble beginning to become the current Lord of Xitian City by kneeling and hugging his thighs all the way.
As long as the other party's status and cultivation level are above his, he can use any method of flattery. .z.
Duplicity and seeking glory from the Lord are commonplace.
Unless the master ordered it, he didn't want to have anything to do with it.
nausea.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged monk in black coughed lightly and looked past Wen Zizhen to Yuan Jing who was sitting behind him.
"Who are these two?"
He changed the topic without leaving any trace. When Wenzi heard this, he immediately stopped flattering and said with a smile:
"The Fairy Dust Inn is famous for selling information. I don't believe it. The underworld friends don't know her identity."
The middle-aged monk in black shook his head and smiled: "I just rushed back to Xitian City recently. I really don't know what the city lord said."
"I see."
Wenzi was really surprised, and immediately smiled and said: "It's a long story. This little girl is working in the mansion now. The auction is lively, I brought her to see the world."
Of course he didn't bring Yuan Jing here to let her see the world. He just brought her with him because he was worried about Piaoxue Palace.
The middle-aged monk in black knew when he heard that the other party was perfunctory, so he smiled and asked no more questions.
As for Xiang Shu, who was standing next to Yuan Jing and dressed as an attendant, he was so inconspicuous that no one cared about him.
After many years, Xiang Shen became an attendant again. She stood quietly beside Yuan Jing, looking at the venue below, but she was surprised in her heart.
The middle-aged monk in black clothes did not hide his face in the private room, and she happened to recognize him.
This person is none other than Lu Yushan’s confidant, the protector of the Tianyan Sect, Hei Jue.
Hei Jue has always followed Lu Yushan. Even if Lu Yushan was reincarnated and rebuilt, he did not betray him, and it is even more impossible for him to betray his master now.
So, the owner of Xianchen Inn is Lu Yushan?
No wonder he was robbed of his storage ring by himself in the secret realm of Medicine Garden. Although he was angry, his reaction was not big. It turned out that the Fairy Dust Inn was there to support him.
However, Yuan Jing once mentioned that the Fairy Dust Inn had been built for a long time, and Lu Yushan had just returned to Xizhou for more than sixty years...
Thinking of this, Xiang Shu's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by Hei Jue's surprise.
Wen Zizhen was also curious, "What did the gangster friends discover?"
Hei Jue nodded and pointed at a middle-aged monk in gray robes who had just come in from the entrance.
Xiang Shu raised his slender eyebrows imperceptibly when he saw the man.
"Does City Master Wen recognize this person?" Hei Jue asked.
Wen Zizhen looked at the gray-robed middle-aged man again and again, and finally shook his head, "He looks very handsome. This man looks like he is a casual cultivator. Is there something strange about him that makes the black Taoist friends care about him?"
"How can this person be a casual cultivator?"
Hei Jue shook his head and spoke solemnly: "If I'm not mistaken, he is one of the eight main bloodlines of the Wanmai Sword Sect, the leader of the Wanmai Sword Sect, Wang Chuxiao!"
"What?!"
Wenzi was really shocked and immediately wanted to go down to greet him in person, but was stopped by Hei Jue.
"City Master Wen, look at the way Master Wangmai is dressing, does it look like he wants to act in a high-profile manner?"
Wen Zizhen immediately calmed down, nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, he came here alone, and with this appearance, he probably doesn't want to be disturbed."
Having said this, he pondered for a moment and then ordered: "Wen Yi, you personally invite him to the private room at Tianzi No. 2. If he refuses, come back immediately and don't disturb him."
"Wen Yi" responded respectfully and left in a hurry.
After sending Wen Yi away, Wen Zizhen sat down and just thanked Hei Jue.
Hei Jue waved his hand, indicating that the other party didn't need to care.
On the other side, Xiang Shu controlled "Wen Yi" to quickly go downstairs and headed towards Wang Chuxiao's position.
She had been in seclusion for forty years. After she came out of seclusion, she hurriedly left the sect. She only knew that something had happened to Wanjian Lineage, and all the disciples in the lineage were sealed in the mountain and could not escape.
She had no idea why.
Now that I meet Wang Chuxiao, maybe I can see something from him.
