Chapter 601 Inquiry
Wanbao Pavilion in Licheng of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
As soon as Huang Bing arrived in Licheng, he went directly to Wanbao Pavilion.
Led by the servants, they came to Chu Xuan Ji's cave. As soon as they entered the cave, they found a strange young man sitting next to Qian'er.
Huang Bing knew Chu Xuan Ji, but he had never met Pan Chengfeng.
However, being able to sit with Qian'er like this, Huang Bing knew who this young man was even with his butt.
He immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Huang Bing greets the head of the family, Master Pan, and Pavilion Master Chu, I hope you are well~"
The priorities are clear. You have to listen to whoever you eat at. First, you greet the head of the family, Li Qianer, then Pan Chengfeng, and finally just greet Chu Xuanji~
Chu Xuanji didn't care. He had had several business dealings with Huang Bing and they were not very familiar with each other, but he still had an impression of this person.
Chu Xuanji smiled and stretched out her hand to signal: "Master Huang, you are welcome, please take a seat~"
Huang Bing sat down somewhat awkwardly. It was the first time for him to sit at the same table with the head of the family. Qian'er had a very high prestige in the hearts of these worshippers.
Seeing that Huang Bing was a little reserved, Pan Chengfeng decided to liven up the atmosphere, so he said with a smile: "Mr. Huang actually knows me? I don't remember ever having met Mr. Huang~"
Huang Bing hurriedly replied, "In the Zhong family, I have long heard that the family master's Taoist companion is a young and promising cultivator, the first in the Yu Lei Sect, who destroyed the Nian family with one move. How could I not know?"
Pan Chengfeng laughed and said, "Mr. Huang is really good at talking. I heard that it was Mr. Huang who completed the task of protecting the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty last time.
Qian'er also kept praising you for being efficient and effective~ Now it seems that Qian'er was quite conservative~"
Qian'er immediately understood what Pan Chengfeng meant, and quickly said, "Mr. Huang is indeed very efficient. I am planning to invite Mr. Huang to be a guest elder of the Zhong family. I just wonder if Mr. Huang is willing to do so?"
Huang Bing was overjoyed. He had wanted to join the Zhong family for a long time, but he just didn't know where to find the way. Then this good thing fell on his head. He quickly stood up, bowed and said, "Thanks to the head of the family, Master Pan, for thinking highly of me. How can Huang Bing not know what is good for me? I am willing to die for the Zhong family!"
"Okay~" Pan Chengfeng also stood up, patted Huang Bing's hand and said: "The Zhong family will have one more elder from now on. Elder Huang, we are one of us now, no need to be polite, sit down, sit down~"
Give benefits first, then ask questions. The Zhong family is now considered a powerful family, and Huang Bing wishes he could hold them tighter. Then, in the following questions, there is no need to worry that Huang Bing will hide anything.
Pan Chengfeng and Qian'er looked at each other, and the couple understood each other tacitly. Pan Chengfeng picked up the teacup and drank the tea.
Qian'er asked, "Elder Huang, I came to you this time mainly to ask you about the 'Loose Cultivator Alliance' and Alliance Leader Wang. I hope Elder Huang can tell you the truth."
Huang Bing was secretly shocked and said, "So that's what it is?" Huang Bing had thought about it a lot before coming here, and had guessed a little bit, but now that Qian'er asked him in person, Huang Bing still had some instinctive resistance.
After all, he was born as a casual cultivator, and Wang Lisheng had done him some favors. If he was asked to do something that would let down the casual cultivator alliance, he really couldn't do it.
Qian'er saw Huang Bing's expression and knew that he had misunderstood. She hurriedly explained, "Don't worry, Elder Huang. The Zhong family has no intention of making things difficult for the Loose Cultivator Alliance. We just want to ask you about something. If you think you can talk about it, then go ahead. If you can't, then I won't force you~"
Huang Bing heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Master, please ask, I will not lie~"
Qian'er smiled and said, "I think Elder Huang also knows something about the Zhong family. The Zhong family wants to develop in Licheng now, but they have no land available for development.
I have known for a long time that Alliance Leader Wang of the Loose Cultivators Alliance has a piece of land of about 10,000 mu, and I wanted to discuss it with Alliance Leader Wang, but Alliance Leader Wang seemed very reluctant and didn't even want to talk. Elder Huang, do you know the reason?"
"So that's what happened?" Huang Bing muttered to himself and said, "I also know about this piece of land.
It was bought by Alliance Leader Wang at an auction a hundred years ago. He borrowed crystal beads from many people at that time. I heard that he paid off his foreign debts only a few years ago. The owner of the family wants to buy this piece of land?"
Qian'er nodded and said, "There is no suitable land in Licheng right now. Only the land in the hands of Alliance Leader Wang is ready-made. I want to buy it. Does Elder Huang have any solution?"
Huang Bing smiled bitterly and said, "This is really a difficult matter. Wang Lisheng has wanted to build his alliance headquarters in Licheng for many years. He owes many people favors for this piece of land. If we want to buy it like this, Wang Lisheng will definitely not agree."
"How many years is a lot?" Pan Chengfeng interrupted and asked, "I heard that Alliance Leader Wang has had this long-cherished wish for more than 2,000 years. Is that true?"
Huang Bing was stunned, then thought for a moment and said, "Two thousand years? How is that possible! Two thousand years ago, Alliance Leader Wang was only a Nascent Soul cultivator, right?"
Pan Chengfeng's eyes lit up and he asked, "How many years is that?" Huang Bing didn't know why Pan Chengfeng was so entangled in this number of years, but he still replied, "Only one or two hundred years, at most three hundred years~"
Pan Chengfeng looked at Chu Xuanji, and Chu Xuanji hurriedly said: "Brother, don't look at me like that. I also heard it. Three hundred years ago, I hadn't come to the Great Zhou yet~"
Pan Chengfeng stroked his chin and said, "Then who spread the news of 'Thousands of Years of Long-cherished Wish'? And why did they say so?"
Pan Chengfeng looked at Huang Bing and asked, "When did Elder Huang join the Loose Cultivator Alliance?"
Huang Bing estimated and replied, "About five hundred years ago, I met Alliance Leader Wang in a secret place.
At that time, Alliance Leader Wang was accompanied by many independent cultivators, and he led everyone to search for opportunities in the secret realm. At that time, we found many spiritual medicines, magic tools, and even spiritual treasures and formation diagrams.
Alliance Leader Wang did not take anything for himself and distributed them all fairly to everyone.
He was such a generous and fair person, so everyone trusted him. It was also at that time that Alliance Leader Wang invited me to join the Loose Cultivator Alliance."
Why does Pan Chengfeng feel that this wave of operations is somewhat familiar~ It seems like the "Five Brothers".
Pan Chengfeng didn't believe that there were such selfless people in the world of immortal cultivation. Even if there were, they definitely had a purpose.
Moreover, he felt that Wang Lisheng had achieved his goal, which was to become the leader of the Loose Cultivator Alliance.
Pan Chengfeng stroked his chin and continued to ask, "You have been together for so many years, don't you feel that there is anything wrong with Alliance Leader Wang?"
"'Abnormalities'?" Huang Bing asked in confusion, "What does Master Pan mean?"
Pan Chengfeng asked, "For example, they are doing something mysterious or discussing something, or someone in the alliance suddenly disappears or dies?"
Huang Bing thought for a moment and said, "It seems that there is nothing wrong with it. Oh, by the way, more than two hundred years ago, people from the Aristocratic Family Alliance came to see Alliance Leader Wang.
Logically speaking, the Aristocratic Family Alliance and the Loose Cultivator Alliance should never have any dealings with each other.
But it seems that he came to discuss business with Alliance Leader Wang. No one knows what they discussed specifically. Alliance Leader Wang just said "business matters" in the end, and that was it. "
Chu Xuanji muttered: "The Loose Cultivator Alliance and the Aristocratic Family Alliance are competitors, how can they have any business dealings with each other?"
Pan Chengfeng continued to ask: "Do you remember who came to discuss business with Alliance Leader Wang?"
Huang Bing thought for a moment and said, "It's someone from the Miao family, the third master of the Miao family, Miao Yongqing!"
"Miao Yongqing?" Chu Xuanji asked doubtfully, "How could he be from the Miao family?"
Pan Chengfeng looked at Chu Xuanji and asked, "What happened to the Miao family? Is there anything wrong?"
Chu Xuanji said: "The leader of the Loose Cultivator Alliance is Wang Lisheng, and the leader of the Aristocratic Family Alliance is the Miao family, which is also a famous aristocratic family in Licheng."
