This obnoxious triangular-eyed man is precisely Gosee, the high-seen of Qingxi Square's public order team, a door disciple of Red Lantern Dao and a teacher for the stationed Xiongxiu called Jiang Baoqian - merely currying favor.
Named Gao Jian, he is actually of short stature, with a deformed and stingy appearance, and it's truly degenerate.
Why would there be a reason to open the door with your feet?
It means that he dared to be so arrogant only because his master is a guardian spirit in Qingxi Pavilion.
As Yu Lou was startled and looked over, the elder with red eyebrows sitting in front of him spoke up.
"Gao Dao friend, I don't know why you suddenly visited, what do you want?"
The elder with red eyebrows is the master of Huafeng Residence, and even more, he is a distinguished guest at the table of the founder of Jingxi Pavilion - Red Lantern Dao, a practicing base foundation teacher. When he asked the question, Gao Jian naturally dared not be too insolent.
The Mr. Gao stepped forward, first making a bow to Wang Rongyuan and Zhong Tianshuo, then smiled and said.
"The Red Eyebrows Dao Friend does not know that the Merit Hall of Red Lantern Dao is about to move to Qingxi Pavilion for garrison."
My master intends to make the most of this grand event, to have a good time and bring all the solitary cultivators within a few hundred miles to Qingxi Pavilion for some shopping.
In this way, it can both increase the profits of Qingxi Pavilion this year and boost everyone's business.
In fact, it's a great benefit for your Huafeng Workshop and Zhiwei Workshop belonging to Rongyuan Dao friend, haha!
Although Gao Jian's face was full of smiles, no matter how Yu Lou looked at it, it seemed to her that his smile was sinister and eerie.
"Oh, this plan of Mr. Jiang is not bad."
Wang Rongyuan stroked his beard, lightly nodding.
Gao Jian, beside him, narrowed his eyes and supplemented with his unpleasant voice.
"My master also said that as the grand event is approaching, the public order of Qingxi Pavilion needs to be strengthened, the fair needs to be prosperous, and it will also be costly to notify nearby solitary cultivators to attend the meeting. "
The cost is naturally not low, so it is necessary to raise a 'united effort fee'.
With everyone pulling together, every store in Qingxi Pavilion should contribute some spirit stones to make sure the event is handled firmly and properly!"
United effort fee?
Why does it sound so much like a voluntary donation?
Just by changing the name of 'taking and extorting,' is it so fearless?
People around Yulou were stunned.
Those who know it understand that this is the Daoist world. Those who don't know it, he almost mistook himself for not having crossed over!
You Red Lanterns truly have grasped the essence of management!
"United effort fee? Say, how much do I need to contribute for unity?"
The elder with red eyebrows stared at Gao Jian unpleasantly, raised his hand to indicate his daughter to be quiet first, and then slowly began to speak.
That guardian cultivator always behaves this way. On the surface, he is very polite and friendly to everyone, even willing to act shamelessly with Qi Practicing cultivators as brothers and sisters.
But...
Never mind, he is indeed the offspring of a major clan within Red Lantern Dao. Suffer in silence.
"Huafeng Residence can open a store beside Qinyun Qingxi, and with Red Eyebrows Daoist as my teacher's friend, there's no shortage of spirit stones."
Gao Jian once again mentioned his master.
Yu Lou was a bit curious about the base foundation practitioner of Red Lantern Dao. What kind of person is he?
He has the means to make money and has dogs to do his bidding.
Having students like Gao Jian can be seen that his teacher must have a high level of cultivation.
Do you think Gao Jian is a failure?
Wrong, that's exactly what he wants from Gao Jian being a loser!
"Lacking, lacking a lot. That's why, in order to earn some spirit stones, I just took two disciples from Wang's family."
Zhong Tianshuo dared not bear the title of "not lacking in spirit stones," he quickly spoke up to explain.
As he spoke, the elder with red eyebrows pointed at Yu Lou.
Ask Yu An?
Sorry, addendum!
Gao Jian looked towards Yu Lou.
Being stared at by his sinister triangular eyes, Yu Lou subconsciously tensed up his back.
"High Dao Friend, Tian Shuomo has the method of refining the Dao. So we just sent two collateral siblings from our family over. You were about to enter when we had just held a ceremony to make him our teacher."
Wang Rongyuan, sitting at the head of the table, spoke indifferently.
Yu Lou, don't be afraid, there is uncle!
"Of course, it's not easy for you to run around doing things for your master."
Elder Jiang intends to make Qingxi Pavilion lively, and we support that.
How about Zhiwei Shop from Wang's family contributes twenty spirit stones first!"
This remark immediately made Wang Yu Lou have a deep respect for his uncle Rongyuan.
What do you mean by 'level'?
That's what level means!
Little Gao, watch your mouth. Zhang Tianshuo now has the support of the Northern King family of Anbei!
Your master is a base-cultivating cultivator, and the Wang family also has a base-cultivating cultivator!
Your master is a prominent clan within the Red Lantern Dao, and the Wang family also has a true transmission old ancestor who is a teacher of Zifu in the Red Lantern Dao!
Just twenty pieces. Take them or leave them!
And, Wang Rongyuan setting the price himself was actually to save Zhang Tianshuo from embarrassment.
If Zhiwei Shop contributes twenty pieces, you Gao Jian certainly cannot ask for more from Huafeng Residence, right?
The elder with red eyebrows sighed lightly with some sentiment.
What's the use of being strong in a single combat?
Even if you have cultivation and Qi Practicing level completed, in the eyes of major disciples, you are just a beggar on your knees in Qingxi Pavilion!
The Wang Rongyuan has slightly fallen short in cultivation, but first beat the old demon in the herb shop, then suppressed the disciple of a base foundation cultivator, Gao Jian, fully showing the spirit of Daoist realm.
Bold!
"Twenty spirit stones?"
But Gao Jian did not recognize Wang's reputation. He stretched his throat and spoke in a tone that was sarcastic and weird, repeating Wang Rongyuan's words.
Then, raising his hand, he bowed towards the residence of the guardian cultivator of Qingxi Pavilion, pretending to use the authority of others to intimidate.
"My teacher is going to be transferred back to the Hall of Spiritual Symbols in Red Lantern Dao. After years in Qingxi Pavilion, he also has feelings for it."
He wants to do some tangible things for Qingxi Pavilion during his final year as the guardian cultivator.
As a local official, to benefit the local people—my master's good intentions, everyone should be able to understand.
Twenty spirit stones are not much of a support, is that right, Rongyuan Dao Friend?"
Yu Lou's eyebrows drooped, and her heart was full of helplessness.
To cultivate the Dao, to cultivate the Dao. Everyone is a cultivator. Without achieving immortality, there's no real freedom and ease.
The Wang family can't achieve freedom, and even the Red Eyebrows Elder is not exempt from being greedy. Even Jiang Baoqian shows his true colors.
The guardian cultivator of Qingxi Pavilion, at the foundation level, clearly wants to make a final splash before his promotion.
Volunteering has reached your face, what can you do about it?
Rongyuan Uncle, you cannot be careless!
"So you say, how much should Zhiwei Shop contribute?"
After a long silence, Wang Rongyuan finally spoke.
Accepted!
With only one year left, screw Jiang, and send him away. You can't cause trouble with Jiang Baoqian over dozens of spirit stones.
After all, the reasons and excuses he gave were very appropriate, and his approach was quite dignified.
Upon hearing this, Gao Jian immediately smiled broadly.
"Not much, not much. Fifty pieces will do, fifty pieces will do."
The out-door disciple of Red Lantern Dao looked at the elder with red eyebrows and continued.
"While Huafeng Residence's business is much better than Zhiwei Shop, it's also unnecessary to pay more. Alms-collecting Red Eyebrows Daoist, if you can contribute a hundred and twenty spirit stones for unity, that should be enough."
《but no need to pay more》
Gao Jian, not to be outdone by his master's base behavior, truly is a disciple of a foundation cultivator's son. A scoundrel's master will have a scoundrel's disciple; he redefined what is more and less with just one word.
"One hundred and twenty spirit stones, you..."
Seeing Gao Jian so black-hearted, the close friend of Red Eyebrows Daoist, the head of Wu family of Exercise Dao, Wu Jin Yan, couldn't hold back and spoke out halfway in a righteous manner.
Finally, someone dared to give him an opportunity to show off. Gao Jian naturally wouldn't let it go.
He waved his left hand, and the lock chain on his waist was immediately in his hand.
