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, so 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 and did not 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, Star Building has risen again, and Shang has returned to the Council of Elders.
And merchants have also become the Jade Demon's spy in the world of immortality.
Just now, Ling Bufei asked the storyteller how he learned about their deeds, and Bai Mengjin thought of Shang Liancheng.
People come and go in Zhaixing Tower, gathering the three sects and nine streams in the world of immortality. These people are enough to form a dense news network. Coupled with the caravans of merchants to various places, this is why the Jade Demon almost never appears in front of people, but can always
Master the secrets of the trends in the world of immortality.
After being reborn, when Bai Mengjin first arrived at Fengwu City, she wanted to take Shang Liancheng back under her command, but at that time she was not strong enough and the opportunity was not there.
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 bustling 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-Zhaing Tower.
However, it was really weird tonight. There were no guests at all in the Zhaixing Building, which usually had a constant flow of people. The door was full of guards, and the room was dimly lit. There seemed to be 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" in his mouth, 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 "hum" sound, 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. Many of the guests who came to Zhaixing Tower were young men from aristocratic families, and they spent a lot of money. However, he was suddenly knocked down by a colleague next to him, and he whispered: "Look at these maids, they don't seem to be alive."
people?"
This person glanced at him and took a breath of cold air. These maids all have graceful figures and picturesque eyebrows. They look like ordinary people. However, each of them looks the same, their smiles are indescribably stiff, and their bodies
Without the slightest bit of anger, he is indeed not a living person.
"Could it be a corpse man?" I heard that in the early years, some demonic cultivators would turn living people into zombies for themselves to drive. However, after the Demon Sealing War, the demonic cultivators disappeared and disappeared. I would not have been so unlucky.
Did you encounter it for real?
"What are you thinking?" His companion couldn't help rolling 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 idea of guarding came together, but before I could figure it out, the last maid came out.
She has fair complexion, 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 could not help but be a little polite and replied: "Girl, there is something going on at Zhaixing Tower today, and it is not convenient to entertain guests. Please find another inn."
He thought he was polite enough, but he didn't expect that the maid wouldn't give him any face. 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, the young master, have to eat.
There are standards for wear and tear, so if you go somewhere else temporarily, how can you stay?"
Guard thought, Fengwu City is a top fairy city, and there are many luxury inns. It is a temporary stay, as long as Tianzihao still has a room, it can be discussed, but there is no preparation in advance, the conditions may be a little worse, why can't I stay there?
?
He didn't agree in his heart, so he said harshly: "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, so 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 was patrolling in 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.
"Girl, why are you being unreasonable? If the inn is open, of course you can stay, but today it 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 booked guests.
"
After saying that, she shouted: "Why are you still standing there? Someone is bullying the young master, and you still don'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 shook, 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 exchanged hands. There was a loud clanging sound, which attracted passers-by nearby to watch the fun.
"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 it right? The Zhai Xing Tower has been closed for several days, and other guests have also gone to find other places to live. 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 has clearly booked a room in advance, but she won't let her stay there even if she just says a word. How can this make sense?"
"Yeah, at least give me 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 each individual's cultivation level is not high, the strength of the formation is extraordinary, and the puppet maid gradually falls into a disadvantage.
Two guards then joined the battle group. They had alchemy cultivation and instantly turned the situation around, and 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?"
