Starting from the equal opportunity to become a saint

On one side is the county magistrate's house 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 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 Source Stones] from the account, and accompany me up there to apologize to the distinguished guests 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 Origin 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, the county magistrate's office is behind the scenes, so why are you feeling so distressed?"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and quickly follow my instructions. 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 sides, and both sides will suffer!"

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.

Deng Deng Deng!

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.

clap clap!

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

"Who?!"

Liu Zimo, who had not yet entered deep trance, was suddenly 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. We have specially prepared three thousand [Divine Source Stones] to compensate our distinguished guest for his loss. We also ask that your distinguished guest please 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 show up to play this bad guy today, the county governor would be able to seal off 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, he can only do things that offend people, Lao Tong.

"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, Master.

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 apologized again with a smile, saying good things and letting Liu Zimo make 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 method he would use only as a last resort. If possible, he still hopes to solve the problem 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 with his head bowed.

Seeing this, Tong Tianshou 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 immediately increased the price of compensation from three times to ten times.

It was as if the person who just said that there was no shortage of [Divine Source Stone] was someone else.

Tong Tianshou's mouth twitched, but he didn't have any extreme reaction.

After all, he has seen some things in the world, and ten thousand [Divine Origin Stones] cannot scare him.

However, Zhao Liu, who was following him, couldn't help but exclaimed, stared at Liu Zimo with an extremely unkind tone and shouted loudly:

"Boy, what are you doing..."

Snapped!

Before Zhao Liu could finish his words, he was slapped on the mouth by Tong Tianshou, and the curse words he had not had time to say were immediately suppressed.

"Woo~!"

Zhao Liu also realized that he had gone too far, raised his hand to cover his mouth, looked at Shopkeeper Tong with a fearful look, lowered his head and did not dare to say another word.

"My subordinates are ignorant and make the young master laugh!"

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

"The young master is willing to give up this welcome pavilion, which is a great honor for the villain. Naturally, the villain will not refuse the young master's request!"

"Ten thousand [Divine Source Stones] and a private room by the window on the fifth floor. The villain can prepare it for the young master. I wonder if the young master can go down with the villain now?"

"Okay, just wait, we'll pack up and leave!"

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

Ye Feihong and Lou Xiaoxiao were still in trance and did not wake up.

Jiang Suyun, on the other hand, had already woken up from trance when Liu Zimo opened the door, and at the same time looked towards Liu Zimo.

"Master, why don't you just leave instead of going to the box on the fifth floor?"

Jiang Suyun asked Liu Zimo in a confused voice.

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

Since there is a great possibility that Master Taixuan is the distinguished guest that County Sheriff Duanmu Snow Mountain is hosting tonight, wouldn't it be better for them to leave directly? Why would they risk staying in the box on the fifth floor, which is very close to the top floor?

"My master wanted to leave, but it's too late!"

Liu Zimo shook his head slightly. Just when shopkeeper Tong knocked on the door and asked them to give up the Yingbin Pavilion on the top floor, Duanmu Xueshan, Ji Chuan and the soul clone of Master Taixuan had already arrived in front of the first floor door of Wanghai Tower. It's just that they all deliberately restrained their auras, and even Jiang Suyun didn't sense it in advance.

In fact, if Liu Zimo had not completely bound Duanmu Snow Mountain, Ji Chuan and others and left some marks on their bodies, he would not have discovered their traces so quickly.

At this time, Duanmu Snow Mountain and his party had already arrived downstairs. If they also went downstairs, they would definitely bump into each other.

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

Fortunately, he had already taken precautions and used the entire Wanghai Tower's protective formations for his own use. He even arranged a complete version of the [Yin-Yang Interlocking Array].

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

"That's too late?"

Jiang Suyun was slightly shaken, knowing that the master would never act aimlessly.

He deliberately wanted to use his spiritual consciousness to take a closer look, but he restrained himself in time the moment his spiritual thoughts were released.

She suddenly thought that a big boss like Taixuan Zhenren was not someone she could easily spy on.

At this time, she'd better trust her master, and the best way is to restrain her aura and avoid being discovered by Master Taixuan.

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

Liu Zimo gave Jiang Suyun instructions and did not directly wake up Ye Feihong and Lou Xiaoxiao. Instead, he asked Jiang Suyun to send them downstairs with his immortal power.

Outside the door, Tong Tianshou could not help but let out a long sigh of relief when he saw Liu Zimo and the others finally coming out of the box.

While bowing in front, he led Liu Zimo and the four of them to the box next to the window on the fifth floor.

While turning around, he winked at Zhao Liu and asked him to clean up the leftovers in the Yingbin Pavilion as soon as possible.

There is not much time left for a cup of tea. If you don't hurry up, you will really be delayed.

moment.

A group of four masters and apprentices, led by shopkeeper Tong, came to a private room on the fifth floor next to the west window sill.

"Thank you for your understanding, sir!"

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

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

"In addition, the ten thousand [Divine Source Stones] promised to the young master will be sent to the young master as soon as possible!"

After saying that, Tong Tianshou bowed to say goodbye, and after talking to a random waiter for a few words, he went downstairs to prepare for the coming Lord Sheriff.

at this time.

The lobby on the first floor of Wanghai Building.

Duanmu Snow Mountain was greeting Ji Chuan and Master Taixuan with an earnest expression.

To be honest, he originally wanted to greet His Highness Fourteenth during today's dinner.

I just didn't expect that Master Taixuan, an old Taoist priest, did not leave directly after searching the Qingyun Immortal Sect to no avail. Instead, he temporarily stayed in the governor's mansion like His Highness the Fourteenth Highness.

There was no way, they were all big shots from Shangjing, and Duanmu Snow Mountain couldn't afford to offend anyone, so they had no choice but to invite them all.

"Fourteen... 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 the 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 were 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 there are very few opportunities to make real moves.

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 had a deep knowledge of 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 at the front to guide everyone.

As they walked, they introduced the special dishes of Wanghailou to everyone with great enthusiasm, 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. 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 had no memory at all 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 Mr. Liu and the four of them have not yet been found out, 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 Origin Stones] to Young Master 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 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 Origin Stone]. (End of chapter)
