Chapter 194 Shopkeeper

Zi Zhu deliberately turned his body like a cat, and his steps were extremely light when walking, so the man who was settled in front of the counter did not notice his approach at all.

It was not until Zi Zhu walked behind the person who was settled the accounts, showed the prototype, and said, "Don't act rashly", that the man discovered that an uninvited guest had entered the store.

The man was not slow yet. He could hear the voice of the person who had just knocked on the door without slacking off. He asked calmly: "Who are you? What are you going to do?" He sneered, "Is it because he was angry because he didn't let you stay in a hotel?"

He is not afraid of danger and can still say such ridiculous words, which shows that the shopkeeper is also a personal character.

Zi Zhu also sighed at the man's calmness and chuckled: "I'm not hiding it. I'm not here to stay in a hotel."

"That's just curious about what happened in Long Town." The man said lightly, it seemed that it was not surprising, and it seemed that he had guessed Zizhu's purpose long ago.

When the man said this, Zi Zhu couldn't help but raise her brows slightly, looking a little surprised, and then asked, "The shopkeeper has guessed well, and he has no malice. He has let the shopkeeper go, but he still has to trouble the shopkeeper to see what happened in Long Town. How about it?"

The shopkeeper knew that Zi Zhu had no malicious intentions, otherwise he would not have told him that he would not have called someone to help him for the past half day. This is his territory, and there are many immortals in the restaurant. Just shout and they will come out to guard to save him immediately. Moreover, the shopkeeper's own cultivation is not low.

After Zi Zhu said that, she let go of the shopkeeper, slowly moved aside, and looked at the shopkeeper.

After the shopkeeper got his freedom, he sorted out his slightly wrinkled clothes as if nothing had happened, and then looked at Zizhu, not seeming to regard Zizhu as a threat.

Zi Zhu looked at the shopkeeper who seemed to be innocent and couldn't help but sigh in her heart that the people in Wanhua Palace really pay great attention to their appearance no matter what time.

In his Tingzhu Inn, he often receives some guests from Wanhua Palace. Those guests are more requested than others, and the hospitality is quite complicated. For this reason, Zizhu also sent his own little demon to some etiquette schools run by Wanhua Palace to learn etiquette.

Although it is very complicated to receive the people in Wanhua Palace, the rewards given by the people in Wanhua Palace are also very generous. After the little demons received the reward, they also felt that their hard work was worth it.

Of course, because Tingzhu Inn receives prominent figures from all sects, they will not encounter those rascals and vulgar and unkind people who deliberately make things difficult for others. This is also the reason why the little demons are hard, tired and cumbersome.

After the shopkeeper finished tidying up his clothes, he looked at Zi Zhu and said quietly: "Looking at your appearance, you are not a demon clan with shallow cultivation. When you knocked on the door, I reminded you to leave Jilong Town quickly and not cause trouble. But since you don't bother, I won't persuade you more."

As he said that, the shopkeeper called the shopkeeper and asked the shopkeeper to prepare a pot of good tea and invited Zi Zhu to sit down. Then he was about to talk about the experience of seeing Long Town.

"As you can see, the Long Town is now in a bleak situation, and the townspeople are living together. I don't know when tomorrow will be. All of these are caused by the Demon Cult."

"But I heard that the Demon Cult has always taken great care of the residents on its territory? People on the Demon Cult sometimes encounter trouble and do not even go to the Supervisory Office for help.

He directly asked the patrol guards of the Demon Cult to solve the problem, and the results obtained were very satisfactory." Zi Zhu asked.

The shopkeeper held the tea, glanced at Zi Zhu sideways, and chuckled, "What you said is true, but that's what happened before." After siping the tea, he said:

"Half a year ago, the Demon Cult suddenly announced that it would reclaim all the arable land distributed to humans and all the ports distributed to humans. Because this is the territory of the Demon Cult, and all towns, cities and even villages were designed and planned by the Demon Cult and were all the industries of the Demon Cult, so Longmen could not speak at all, and could not control it, and could only obey the arrangements of the Demon Cult."

"After this news was released, the villagers in Long Town and even many places around him had completely cut off their lives, so they became what you see now."

"Aren't you Wanhua Palace doing business here? Why don't you intervene? After all, this also involves your business, right?" Zi Zhu asked in confusion.

But after hearing this, the shopkeeper felt as if he had heard something very funny joke. He couldn't help laughing and looked at Zi Zhu, "You are really naive. Although we are doing business here, and the Demon Cult's move has indeed affected our business, Wanhua Palace has always been an immortal clan and cannot interfere with anything about the demon clan."

"Also, this is the territory of the Demon Cult. We must also obtain approval from the Demon Cult to do business here. Now the landlord has issued an ultimatum, so we can only let it go. How can we intervene?"

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, Zizhu lowered her head in depression and said, "So you can only close your business in order to protect yourself."

"This is also the only thing we can do," the shopkeeper added.

As an inn, Zizhu has a deep understanding. Fortunately, the place where Zizhu Inn is located is a homeless place, and no one or force can control it, so it is not subject to any restrictions. Of course, this is thanks to the very difficult conditions in his place, and no human or immortals are willing to live there, so there is no force willing to spend energy and financial resources to manage that place.

"By the way, isn't there an industry here in the Demon Emperor Palace? Then they must have known the changes here. Didn't they send anyone?" Zi Zhu looked at the shopkeeper and asked again.

The shopkeeper sighed faintly, covered the tea bowl with his hands, looked at the front with his eyes open, and knocked the tea bowl rhythmically with the bowl cover, saying, "So what if you know? Although the Demon Sect is managed by the Demon Emperor Palace, the Demon Sect is always the largest sect of the Demon Clan. Besides, all this belongs to the internal affairs of the Demon Clan, and the Demon Emperor Palace has no right to interfere, but just sending people to learn about the situation."

After hearing this, Zi Zhu lowered her head and thought in her heart: "It has been half a year since the incident happened. The Demon Emperor Palace has only sent people to understand the situation, but there has been no change. It seems that the Demon Emperor Palace does not know the changes that happened to the Demon Cult. It seems that Li Linggu successfully perfunctorily sent people in the Demon Emperor Palace who came to investigate."

Thinking of this, Zi Zhu couldn't help but sigh helplessly, "Junior brother, your strict teaching has taught a conspirator who is insidious and smart!"

That's right? He deceived the Demon Emperor Palace and allowed the Longmen Supervision Office to ignore it, and made other sects unable to interfere. If Li Linggu was not smart, even Zi Zhu himself would not believe it.

It seems that when he went to the Demon Sect to rescue Ling'er, it is necessary to meet Li Linggu in person, so as to collect some information.

So that Li Yao could see the current situation of the Demon Sect.

It is said that knowing oneself and one’s enemy will never be defeated by a hundred battles.

After thanking the shopkeeper, Zi Zhu prepared to say goodbye. The shopkeeper had been a shopkeeper in Jianlong Town for hundreds of years. He had seen many passers-by and had learned the ability to see people he met.

From Zi Zhu’s question to his expression when talking about the Demon Sect, the shopkeeper guessed a rough idea of ​​his purpose and asked: “Are you going to the Demon Sect?”

Zi Zhu turned around and looked at the shopkeeper, unable to help but show an admiration, saying, "The shopkeeper's observation is really meticulous."

Although I know that others don’t need to ask too much about other people’s affairs, the shopkeeper still couldn’t help asking Zizhu: “You are not from Mingyuezhou. How dare you ask, why did you go to the Demon Sect?”

"For a promise, save people!" Zizhu replied concisely.

"Do you dare to ask, who promised?" the shopkeeper asked again.

Zi Zhu looked at the shopkeeper for a long time. He knew about Li Yao and Lin Zhengfei's relationship with the young master of Wanhua Palace. Li Yao had already told him about this.

It also said that the young palace master has notified all the restaurants under his sect and will do his best to help whenever they encounter them.

Now the shopkeeper asked this, but wanted to ask if he was going to help Li Yao. He asked tentatively: "What news did the shopkeeper receive from the young palace master of your school?"

The shopkeeper did not hide it, nodded, and said, "I'm not sure about it. I've noticed a trace of the old friend's aura on the young master. The old friend is also a member of the Demon Sect, so I guess that the young master's trip may be related to the old friend."

"The old friend in the shopkeeper's words is Li Yao, the second son of the Demon Sect?" Zi Zhu asked.

The shopkeeper nodded.

When Li Yao and Lin Zhengfei were in Mingyuezhou, they were regular guests in this restaurant. As the shopkeeper, he often received these two distinguished guests. After a while, he gradually became familiar with them. It is not an exaggeration to say "old friends" at this moment.

Seeing the shopkeeper nodding, Zizhu then said, "It was because of your old friend's promise that I came here."

"Even if that..." The shopkeeper took out a bead that emitted the light of a blooming golden lotus from his arms and handed it to Zi Zhu, saying, "This is the hidden breath of our Wanhua Palace. It can hide the young master's aura. It will not be discovered by the masters of the Demon Sect. I hope I can help you."

Zi Zhu held the Hidden Xi Pill in her hand and looked at the shopkeeper in confusion. The shopkeeper smiled and said, "First, this is the order of our young palace master. We must do our best to help the Immortal Lord Yueqing and the Second Young Master. Second, I have a friendship with the Second Young Master, so I can't watch him suffer. Since the young master is doing the second young master, although I cannot come forward to help the young master, I can do my best."

Hearing this, Zi Zhu put the Yinxi Pill in her arms, bowed to the shopkeeper and said, "Thank you for your help. When the matter is done, I will definitely come back to return the treasure."

After the two of them said goodbye, Zi Zhu followed the route mentioned by the shopkeeper and walked towards the Demon Sect.

What I saw along the way made Zizhu feel very moved.

He knew that the Queen of the Snake was vicious by nature, but he didn't expect to give birth to Li Linggu, a descendant with his junior brother Li An. What he couldn't understand was that Li Linggu did not inherit Li An's character at all, but inherited his mother's character completely.
