Chapter 409: You Are Too Shortsighted!

On one side is the county magistrate's mansion that they can't afford to offend, and on the other side is a stranger of unknown origin. Shopkeeper Tong naturally knows how to choose.

"Oh, what a troublesome thing!"

"You said that when the Sheriff used to entertain guests, he would come here at least three days in advance to give notice. Why is he so eager this time?"

"That's all. Now that things have happened, we at Wanghai Tower can only break our promise once. I'm sorry for the four distinguished guests upstairs!"

"Zhao Liu, go and get three thousand [Divine Origin Stones] from the account, and accompany me up there to apologize to the distinguished guest on the top floor!"

When the guy Zhao Liu heard this, his eyes suddenly widened.

"Three thousand?!"

"You, the shopkeeper, are nothing. They only consumed a thousand [Divine Source Stones] for one meal. Can't we just compensate them according to the cost?"

"Anyway, they have already eaten. They have earned a top-notch spiritual meal for nothing. What else are they dissatisfied with?"

Zhao Liu looked at Shopkeeper Tong with great confusion. He felt that this shopkeeper's brain was simply ridiculous. He actually did such a loss-making business?

"What do you know!"

Tong Tianshou glanced at the young man coldly and said quietly:

"With this triple compensation, I'm still worried that the distinguished guest upstairs won't accept it!"

"Besides, with the county governor's office taking care of everything, why are you feeling so distressed?"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and follow my instructions quickly. The time for a cup of tea is coming soon!"

"If we can't successfully invite those distinguished guests out within the time of a cup of tea, we will offend both ends and both ends will be lucky!"

Seeing the shopkeeper's outburst, Zhao Liu did not dare to say another word. He responded and rushed to the accounting room, took out three thousand [Divine Origin Stones] and flew back.

At this time, Tong Tianshou had been waiting for him at the stairs for a long time. When he saw Zhao Liu coming back, he walked upstairs without saying anything.

Thump thump thump!

A burst of rapid footsteps sounded in the corridor.

After a while, they arrived in front of the VIP room on the top floor of the sixth floor.

Bang bang!

Tong Tianshou stood in front, raising his hand carefully to pat the door.

"who?!"

Liu Zimo, who had not yet entered deep trance, was instantly awakened. He realized that the people standing outside the door were actually the shopkeeper and waiter of the restaurant, so he asked with some dissatisfaction.

"I'm really sorry for disturbing this distinguished guest!"

Hearing the response from someone inside, Tong Tianshou couldn't help but smile and apologize respectfully:

"Originally, I didn't want to come over and disturb you, but the situation forced me to come up and say hello to the distinguished guest."

"Tonight, Sheriff Duanmu of the Sheriff's Mansion will entertain distinguished guests from Shangjing in the store, and he requested the Yingbin Pavilion on the top floor, so I just..."

After explaining the cause and effect to Liu Zimo in a nice way, Tong Tianshou spoke again:

"I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused to our distinguished guest. I have specially prepared three thousand [Divine Source Stones] to compensate for your loss. I also ask that your distinguished guest be able to move to another box for the time being!" "

Liu Zimo was shocked when he heard this.

Duanmu Snow Mountain is going to entertain distinguished guests from the upper capital here?

Among these so-called distinguished guests, could there be a clone of Master Taixuan's soul?

What the hell, do you want it to be such a coincidence?

The four masters and disciples left Qianyuan Hall early to avoid Taixuan Zhen and hid in Wanghai Tower.

As a result, the other party actually wanted to come to Wanghailou to eat, and even wanted to grab the private room they had reserved in advance!

What does this mean, but enemies never get together?

"Shopkeeper Tong, why do you think I am the kind of person who will be short of your three thousand [Divine Origin Stones]?"

Liu Zimo asked Tong Tianshou outside the door in a harsh voice.

As soon as Tong Tianshou looked bitter, he knew that this was an offending job.

But he also knew that if he didn't act like a bad guy today, the Sheriff would seal their Wanghai Tower tomorrow.

Even if the boss behind them has some background, it is impossible to go against Donglin County Sheriff.

Therefore, depending on the person's face, Lao Tong can only do things that offend people.

"Young master is joking, I have no intention of looking down on you!"

“It’s just that we really can’t afford to offend the Sheriff’s Mansion, so please be considerate of me.

If you have any requirements, feel free to put them forward. If they can be met, I will do my best to meet them! "

Tong Tianshou smiled and apologized again, saying good things and letting Liu Zimo come up with conditions.

With all this wrangling, half the time for a cup of tea has passed. If the people inside don't come out, he will have to forcibly evict the guests.

Of course, this is a measure he would only use as a last resort. If possible, he still hopes to resolve the matter peacefully.

After all, he is a businessman. He opens the door to welcome guests. What he pays attention to is being friendly and making money. If he can avoid offending people to death, he should try his best not to offend people to death.

Especially this kind of guest who he doesn't know the details about at all. If he is a dragon crossing the river or has some deep background, he will definitely have endless troubles if he offends him severely.

Squeak~!

The door of the private room opened, and Liu Zimo stood straight in front of the door, looking up at Tong Tianshou who was standing bowed.

When Tong Tianshou saw this, he couldn't help but feel relaxed in his heart.

If you are willing to open the door and do not directly curse, it means that there is still room for discussion.

"Ten times the compensation, plus the box next to the window on the fifth floor!"

Liu Zimo spoke calmly, and directly raised the compensation price from three times to ten times.

It was as if the person who just said that he didn't need [God Source Stone] was someone else.

Tong Tianshou's mouth twitched, but he didn't react too much.

After all, he had seen some of the world, and ten thousand [God Source Stones] couldn't scare him.

However, Zhao Liu, who was following behind him, couldn't help but exclaimed, staring at Liu Zimo with a very unfriendly tone and shouting:

"Boy, what are you doing..."

Pah!

Before Zhao Liu finished speaking, he was slapped on the mouth by Tong Tianshou, and the curse words that he didn't have time to say were directly held back.

"Woo~!"

Zhao Liu also realized that he had overstepped a little, raised his hand to cover his mouth, looked at Tong the shopkeeper with fear, and lowered his head and didn't dare to say another word.

"My subordinates are ignorant, let the young master laugh!"

Tong Tianshou took a deep breath and apologized to Liu Zimo with a smile again.

"Sir, you are willing to give up this reception hall, which is a great honor for me. I will not refuse your request!"

"Ten thousand [God Source Stones] and a private room on the fifth floor with a window. I can prepare it for you right now. I wonder if you can go down with me now?"

"Okay, wait for us, we will pack up and leave!"

Liu Zimo nodded slightly, closed the door again, turned around and looked at his three beloved disciples.

Ye Feihong and Lou Xiaoxiao were still in meditation and had not woken up.

Jiang Suyun had already woken up from meditation when Liu Zimo opened the door, and looked at Liu Zimo at the same time.

"Master, why don't you leave directly, but go to the private room on the fifth floor?"

Jiang Suyun asked Liu Zimo in a puzzled voice.

Unlike the two senior sisters, she knew why the master took them away from Qianyuan Hall.

Since Taixuan Zhenren is very likely to be the distinguished guest that County Magistrate Duanmu Xueshan is going to entertain tonight, wouldn't it be better for them to leave directly? Why do they have to take the risk of staying in the private room on the fifth floor, which is very close to the top floor?

"Master does want to leave, but it's too late!"

Liu Zimo shook his head slightly. Just when Tong the shopkeeper came up and knocked on the door to ask them to give up the top floor reception pavilion, Duanmu Xueshan, Ji Chuan and Taixuan Zhenren's Yuanshen clone had already arrived at the first floor door of Wanghai Tower.

It's just that they all deliberately restrained their breath, even Jiang Suyun didn't sense it in advance.

In fact, if Liu Zimo hadn't completely bound Duanmu Xueshan, Ji Chuan and others, and left some marks on them, he wouldn't have discovered their traces so quickly.

At this time, Duanmu Xueshan and his party had already arrived downstairs. If they went down, they would definitely run into each other.

Otherwise, Liu Zimo would not have accepted Tong the shopkeeper's request and asked for another private room on the fifth floor.

Fortunately, he had already prepared for a rainy day, and used the entire Wanghai Tower's protective formation for his own use, and even set up a complete version of the [Yin Yang Mutual Refusal Locking God Formation].

It was precisely because of these trump cards in hand that Liu Zimo dared to take the risk of transferring three disciples to another formation node on the fifth floor.

"Too late?"

Jiang Suyun's heart was slightly shocked, knowing that the master would never do anything without a purpose.

She wanted to use her spiritual sense to spy on something, but she restrained it in time the moment she released her spiritual sense.

She suddenly thought that a big man of the level of Taixuan Zhenren was not someone she could easily spy on.

At this time, she had better trust her master, and it would be the best policy to restrain her own breath so that Taixuan Zhenren would not discover it.

"Let's go, take your two senior sisters and follow me to the fifth floor!"

Liu Zimo instructed Jiang Suyun, and did not directly wake up Ye Feihong and Lou Xiaoxiao, but let Jiang Suyun use her immortal power to send them downstairs together.

Outside the door, Tong Tianshou had been waiting anxiously. Seeing Liu Zimo and the other four finally come out of the box, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He bowed in front to lead the way for Liu Zimo and the other four, and sent them to the box next to the window on the fifth floor.

He turned back and winked at Zhao Liu, asking him to clean up the leftovers in the reception hall as soon as possible.

There was not much time left for a cup of tea, and if he didn't hurry up, he would really delay things.

A moment.

Under the leadership of Tong the shopkeeper, the four masters and apprentices came to a box next to the west window on the fifth floor.

"Thank you for your understanding, young master!"

After sending people to the box, Tong Tianshou bowed and thanked Liu Zimo again.

"Later, I will ask the waiter in the store to serve a table of wine and food to the distinguished guests as a token of my apology!"

"In addition, the 10,000 [Divine Source Stones] promised to you will also be delivered to you as soon as possible!"

After saying that, Tong Tianshou bowed and said goodbye. After randomly telling a waiter a few words, he went downstairs to personally prepare to welcome the upcoming county magistrate.

At this time.

The lobby on the first floor of Wanghai Tower.

Duanmu Xueshan was greeting Ji Chuan and Taixuan Zhenren with an earnest look.

To be honest, he originally wanted to come to greet His Highness the Fourteenth Prince at this dinner today.

But he didn't expect that Taixuan Zhenren, the old Taoist priest, did not leave directly after investigating Qingyun Xianmen to no avail, but also stayed in the county magistrate's mansion temporarily like His Highness the Fourteenth Prince.

There was no way, they were all big shots from Shangjing, and Duanmu Xueshan couldn't afford to offend anyone, so he could only invite them all together.

"Fourteenth... uh, Mr. Chuan, and Master Taixuan, please come in!"

Duanmu Snow Mountain personally led the way for Ji Chuan and Tai Xuan, and introduced them to them in a very enthusiastic voice:

"This Wanghai Tower is a unique feature of our Donglin County!"

"Not only because the dishes here are all delicious, but also because when this Wanghai Tower was first built, Senior Xinyue, the formation master of Wangyue Sect, was invited to lay the foundation for the entire floor and set up the formation!"

"I can honestly say that there is no safer place in the entire Qinjiang City than this Wanghai Tower. Even my county governor's mansion is far inferior to it!"

oh?

After hearing Duanmu Snow Mountain's introduction, not only Ji Chuan was aroused, but even Master Tai Xuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise.

Wanghai Tower is just a local building in Donglin County, and they had rarely heard of it before.

However, they are all familiar with Xinyue Zhenren mentioned in Duanmu Snow Mountain Pass.

After all, there are only a few people in the Divine Realm who can be called great masters of the formation.

But Xinyue Zhenren of Wangyue Sect is definitely the most famous one among them.

The only regrettable thing is that Master Xinyue is devoted to studying formations and often stays in seclusion, so he has very few opportunities to actually take action.

Master Taixuan did not expect that in this humble restaurant in Donglin County, there would be a formation arranged by Master Xinyue himself.

"In this case, that poor Taoist needs to observe carefully!"

Taixuan Zhenren, who also studied Taoji, was immediately interested. He raised his head with bright eyes to observe the layout of the entire restaurant.

"The top floor of Wanghai Tower is not only the best viewing spot, but also the center of all protective formations. If Mr. Chuan and Master Taixuan are interested, you may wish to follow me to the top floor to take a look!"

Duanmu Snow Mountain opened his mouth at the right moment and stepped forward to guide the two of them.

At this time, Tong Tianshou also happened to come down from upstairs. Seeing that Duanmu Snow Mountain had arrived, he quickly raised a smile and greeted him with his hands.

"I've met the Sheriff!"

After bowing, Tong Tianshou said respectfully:

"The welcome pavilion on the top floor has been prepared. Please, Lord Sheriff and all distinguished guests, follow me upstairs!"

With that said, Tong Tianshou took the place of Duanmu Snow Mountain and walked in the front to lead the way for everyone.

As he walked, he enthusiastically introduced the special dishes of Wanghailou to everyone, delaying time without leaving any trace.

It wasn't until he saw Zhao Liu coming down from upstairs and slightly cupped his hands at him that Tong Tianshou truly felt relieved.

When passing by the fifth floor, he saw that the door to the private room on the west side was closed tightly, and Mr. Liu showed no signs of causing trouble. Tong Tianshou couldn't help but feel more relaxed.

It seemed that Mr. Liu was also afraid of the identity of the county governor or the two distinguished guests accompanying him, so he did not even dare to show his face.

Soon, the group of people successfully climbed to the top floor, and after inviting the Duanmu Snow Mountain people into the Yingbin Pavilion, Tong Tianshou left with an excuse.

After going down to the sixth floor and passing by the west box on the fifth floor, Tong Tianshou whispered to Zhao Liu:

"You go to the accountant and withdraw another seven thousand [Divine Origin Stones], plus the previous three thousand, and send them to Mr. Liu!"

"Remember, you must be respectful and polite, and don't cause me any more trouble!"

When Zhao Liu heard this, he couldn't help but raise his head and look at the shopkeeper:

"Shopkeeper, do you really want to give them 10,000 [Divine Origin Stones]?"

"In my opinion, they are just taking the opportunity to blackmail you, so you just don't have to pay attention to them!"

"If they dare to cause trouble later, the guards in our store will not be idlers!"

Obviously, this Zhao Liu wants to burn bridges and is no longer prepared to fulfill his previous commitments.

The guards in their store, as well as the protective and offensive formations arranged by Master Xinyue, are their greatest confidence in Wanghai Tower.

Hearing this, Tong Tianshou shook his head silently. He didn't expect that this kid didn't remember anything after being slapped before.

The eyelids are too shallow!

Let’s not talk about their Wanghailou’s integrity. It is far beyond what can be compared with just 10,000 [Divine Origin Stones].

Let’s just say that the identities of Young Master Liu and the four of them have not been found out yet, but Zhao Liu dares to offend them so recklessly. This is simply causing trouble for Wanghai Tower!

"Okay, don't do this anymore. I will personally deliver the 10,000 [Divine Source Stones] to Mr. Liu and the others later!"

Tong Tianshou waved his hand to Zhao Liuwei expressionlessly and said quietly:

"Moreover, from now on, you don't have to wait outside. The kitchen is still short of a vegetable chopping boy, so you can go and do it for a while!"

After saying that, regardless of the expression on Zhao Liu's face, Tong Tianshou went straight downstairs to the accounting room to get the [Divine Source Stone]. (End of chapter)
