Yue Hongyu pulled out the spear behind him as if facing a formidable enemy.
Gu Chen was calm and asked: "As long as we give it, let us go? How can I be sure that Xinghaifang will keep its promise and not kill people and silence them?"
The leader showed a disdainful smile, "Xinghaifang always does what it says. If we go back on our word, the business will not be so big."
"Besides, behind Xinghaifang is Tianque Island. There is no need to question the reputation of Tianque Island, right?"
Gu Chen raised his eyebrows when he heard this and asked Yue Hongyu.
"Tianque Island is that behemoth whose business scope covers many industries such as elixirs, talismans, magic weapons, etc., and whose influence spreads across the seventy-two regions?"
Yue Hongyu nodded. It was precisely because Xinghaifang was a gambling house owned by Quedao that day that she took Gu Chen there.
Tianque Island is famous for its good reputation. In the past, in the Demon Realm, one of the seventy-two regions, due to a sudden outbreak of evil spirits and a tense war, Zhu Tian of the Demon Realm once forcibly expropriated the bank on Tianque Island.
It was said to be expropriation, but in fact it was robbery. As a result, the chain reaction caused a serious run on the bank on Tianque Island. All the monks were worried that Tianque Island would go bankrupt if they did not withdraw money.
It stands to reason that being robbed by Zhutian, Tianque Island is excusable, and it is common for them to choose to close the bank and escape.
But Tianque Island did not do this. Instead, it chose to sell a large number of its properties and insisted on exchanging Zhu Jing for every customer, regardless of whether the customer was powerful or powerful, old, weak, sick or disabled.
Even when he was at his most destitute, the owner of Tianque Island mortgaged himself in order to exchange for working capital.
If the money is not paid when it is due, you will have no choice but to be sold into slavery!
This awareness and sincerity finally brought Tianque Island out of danger, and also made Tianque Island famous. From then on, business spread to every corner of the Panyan Ancient World.
"Since it is under the banner of Tianque Island, let me show you some face today."
Gu Chen looked at the monks at Xinghaifang and suddenly narrowed his eyes.
The cultivation level of these five people and four of them are in the Golden Firm Realm, and the leader is around the third level of the Four Seas Realm. With Kunpeng's strength, it is not difficult to kill them all.
What's the point of killing these people? It's more valuable to keep them.
"Then hand over the cheating method!"
The leader sneered, he was obviously relenting, this person is quite angry.
Does Tianque Island need him to give face?
Just a low-class monk who is playing tricks!
"Okay, I don't have the cheating method with me. Please wait a moment."
Gu Chen immediately took out a blank jade slip, and then used his spiritual consciousness to imprint a method on the jade slip.
After the branding was completed, he threw it to the monks of Xinghaifang.
The leader took it and checked it, and saw that what was recorded in the jade slip was a profound method of life. With a little success, you can seek good luck, avoid bad luck, and have prosperous wealth.
He immediately concluded that this method was true, and only if it involved the mysterious destiny, could he avoid the restrictions imposed by Xinghaifang to prevent cheaters!
"You are honest."
The leader was surprised and confused at the same time.
What is gratifying is that in his opinion, the value of this method is far better than the fortune the other party won at the gambling table.
What was puzzling was that the other party showed such a profound method so simply.
Forget it, maybe I was frightened by the name of Tianque Island and feared that I would not be able to get out of this alley, so I took the treasure to save my life!
The leader waved his hand, and the other four people got out of the way.
"You two can go, please remember not to enter Xinghaifang again next time."
Gu Chen pretended to be very concerned and reminded. "This method is a secret that is not passed down in my family. If Xinghaifang is just to prevent others from repeating the same trick, just check it and understand it. Please do not practice it without authorization."
The leader doesn’t take it seriously. I’ve given you all the skills. Do you still care whether others can practice them or not?
"Don't worry, how can I, Xinghaifang, value such a thing like yours?"
The leader said a few words, which was regarded as an agreement.
Gu Chen then left, and Yue Hongyu followed closely. He breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there was no conflict.
"This Xinghaifang abides by the rules. As expected, he didn't ask for his money back, and he didn't kill anyone to silence him."
"I just don't know about the technique. Can they keep their promise?"
On the way back, Gu Chen said with a half-smile.
"Did Senior Gu really give them what they wanted?"
Yue Hongyu had some doubts. In her impression, this senior was not that easy to talk to.
"Tianque Island has many resources. If you can connect with them, you can save a lot of effort in the future. You won't have to run around doing chores every day and have no time to meditate."
Gu Chen said that although Yue Hongyu has done very well in the past two years, the resources he will need for cultivation will become larger and larger in the future, and it will become more and more difficult for her with her cultivation and vision.
Not only would this consume too much of her energy, it would also waste his time.
Therefore, he needs new channels to help him build bridges and pave the way.
Tianque Island is a good choice as long as you know the distance well.
"Senior Gu has received a lot of benefits from doing chores for me, and I am reluctant to give them to others."
Yue Hongyu said, hearing the hidden meaning of Gu Chen's words, his eyes rolled like stars. "Did Senior Gu do anything to that method?"
"You are getting smarter and smarter."
Gu Chen smiled and glanced behind him. Xinghaifang also sent someone to follow them secretly, probably to determine where they lived.
"The place where I live is too crowded. Let's find another place to live."
To be on the safe side, Gu Chen said.
…
Qinglian Shen and Qi Yueshen stayed in the original inn, while Kun Peng Shen and Yue Hongyu found a new inn to stay in.
At night, when the full moon gradually hung high and the dew was the coldest, Gu Chen, who was Kunpeng, was practicing cross-legged when he suddenly felt something.
The palms placed on his knees were turned upwards, and threads of mysterious life and energy were intertwined in Gu Chen's palms.
After a while, a strange scarecrow doll appeared!
Gu Chen held the straw doll, and a large piece of information immediately appeared in his mind.
"Duanmu Qing, a member of the Longwen clan, the deacon of Xinghaifang in Liubo City, an outer disciple of Tianque Island, cultivated to the seventh level of the Four Seas Realm..."
This person's destiny is constantly conveying all kinds of information about him. As long as Gu Chen is willing to investigate, even the deepest secrets in his heart can be known!
Gu Chen couldn't help but shook his head. It only took half a day for the fish to take the bait, much faster than he imagined.
He had warned in advance that the method should not be practiced, but the other party voluntarily entered the jar and did not keep his promise. It was no wonder that he was the one to blame.
"If you want to live, come see me."
Gu Chen spoke without hesitation, and his voice was transmitted directly to the other person's mind through the straw puppet in his hand!
At dawn, led by the monks from Xinghaifang, a foreigner with blue horizontal stripes on his face hurried to the inn with a sad look on his face.
Under the watchful eyes of all his subordinates, the visitor knelt down and saluted outside Gu Chen's room.
"Junior Duanmu Qing was ignorant and blind, and he bumped into the senior master. Please forgive me, senior!"
The door opened with a creak, and Yue Hongyu looked at the man kneeling in front of him, feeling extremely surprised.
What kind of magic did Senior Gu use? He clearly stayed in the room last night. How could he train the people of Xinghaifang to be obedient?!
