When I woke up, I wanted to go home.

Chapter 175 Meeting with Murong Yu

Oh?

I wonder why your Chairman Murong wants to see me?

Well… we don’t know.

Young Master, please go to the inner cabinet and meet my guild master, and you will know.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Chongjiu was about to leave with the waiter.

Just then, Xiao Rou suddenly transmitted her voice from behind, "Ninth Brother, will...?"

Don't worry, if we go out now, we will definitely suffer retaliation from that Immortal King called Guang Shen Zhenren.

At this critical juncture, Murong Xue's decision to keep us here is most likely an attempt to establish a friendly relationship.

Otherwise, Murong Yu wouldn't have helped us during our confrontation with Master Guang Shen just now.

Please wait here for a moment.

After Zhu Chongjiu finished speaking, he followed the waiter away.

A moment later, the staff member led Zhu Chongjiu to a large hall inside the auction venue, then bowed and left.

Zhu Chongjiu stood still, observing the magnificent decorations of the hall, which was filled with jade-colored stone. Wisps of green smoke rose and green waves flowed. Compared to the auction venue, this was more like a legendary celestial pavilion.

Just as Zhu Chongjiu was admiring the scenery in the main hall, a clear voice rang out from behind him: "How is it? Isn't the scenery of my palace quite nice?"

Zhu Chongjiu didn't turn around, but squatted down and teased the fearless golden koi in the pond in front of him, replying, "It's not bad, but with President Murong's cultivation and status, isn't it a bit unbecoming of a celestial being to keep a few koi with only a little bit of spirituality in this celestial palace?"

After he finished speaking, Zhu Chongjiu stood up, shook the water droplets off his fingers, and slowly turned his head to look at Murong Yu.

When Murong Yu heard Zhu Chongjiu's words, just as she was about to speak, Zhu Chongjiu, following his previous actions, did not stop but walked slowly towards her, asking as he walked, "President Murong, you are also a smart person."

Since you summoned me here, there must be something you need. Why don't you just say it? After all, given your position, your time is very valuable.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Chongjiu stood in front of Murong Yu.

Murong Yu looked at Zhu Chongjiu, who was about the same age as her, and asked with a smile, "Don't you want to stay here a little longer?"

Do you know what Master Guangshen will do to you if you go out now?

President Murong, since you've put it that way, let me ask you a question. If you make an enemy, would you rather give them enough time to plot against you, or would you rather catch them off guard and find a way to survive?

Murong Yu was stunned for a moment when she heard Zhu Chongjiu's answer!

A faint, bitter smile appeared on her exquisite face as she said to Zhu Chongjiu, "It seems I've actually done you a disservice!"

Since transmigrating, Zhu Chongjiu, who hadn't touched a woman for nearly a thousand years, experienced a surge of hormones upon seeing Murong Yu's expression, causing a certain part of him to suddenly become erect.

Startled, Zhu Chongjiu immediately turned around, his back to Murong Yu, his face turning from white to red.

However, no matter how Zhu Chongjiu demonstrates, how could he possibly escape the perception of a Heavenly King-level expert at such close range?

Upon seeing this, Murong Xue blushed slightly and thought to herself, "So she's just like everyone else!"

However, to Murong Yu's surprise, just after she finished looking down on Zhu Chongjiu, she found that his demeanor had returned to normal. If it weren't for the fact that his figure had changed from facing her to having his back to her, Murong Yu would have thought that what had just happened was her imagination.

The last sentence of the Heart-Cleansing Mantra ended in Zhu Chongjiu's mind. Zhu Chongjiu opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and turned back to Murong Yu, maintaining the same posture as before.

However, this time it was Zhu Chongjiu's turn to be surprised, because after Zhu Chongjiu turned around, he saw that the other party's face was becoming more and more gloomy.

Zhu Chongjiu thought to himself, "Could it be that my rude behavior just now angered the other party?"

Indeed, I heard it during the auction: this President Murong Yu, despite having reached the initial Heavenly King realm, is still a virgin who hasn't married yet.

A young woman like her would definitely be angry in this situation, especially since the other person is a Celestial King!

Thinking of this, Zhu Chongjiu quickly cupped his hands and apologized, saying, "I was momentarily distracted just now, and I ask President Murong for forgiveness if I acted inappropriately."

Upon hearing Zhu Chongjiu's apology, Murong Yu's already gloomy expression turned even more serious.

Just now, when she was angry, Murong Yu's inner monologue was, "What does this mean? Am I not attractive enough? Can I only make you stand there for a second or two?"

Now even angrier, Murong Yu's inner monologue was: "My mind is wandering? Wasn't what just happened because of me? What did I do wrong? Anyone who wants to pursue me could practically stretch from the South Heavenly Gate to the East Sea! Tell me, who is that woman who made your mind wander?"

Zhu Chongjiu, of course, had no idea what the woman opposite him was thinking. Looking at the still angry Murong Xue, Zhu Chongjiu thought to himself, "What is she doing?"

I have apologized and offered a gift.

Whether or not any substantial contact has occurred, I don't care anymore.

After that, Zhu Chongjiu put on an indifferent expression, walked towards the pond, and then went to tease the golden koi.

A few minutes later, Zhu Chongjiu stood up impatiently, ready to take his leave, as several of his brothers were waiting for him outside.

Just after Zhu Chongjiu stood up, Murong Yu, who was behind him, finally calmed himself down and looked at the other party who had stood up. Her tone was not as good as before as she said, "I asked my subordinate to call you here earlier because I wanted to see you."

After hearing this, Zhu Chongjiu replied with some doubt, "Want to see me?"

What happens after you've seen it?

"It can't be that simple, can it?"

After meeting you, young master, I have confirmed one thing.

As soon as Murong Yu finished speaking, Zhu Chongjiu's aura suddenly erupted, and his eyes turned cold as he said, "I wonder what President Murong has confirmed?"

Seeing Zhu Chongjiu's current behavior, Murong Yu put on a smile again and replied, "Young master, please don't be agitated. I have no ill intentions towards you, or rather, towards you all."

I am just a businessman, and our Jiutian Chamber of Commerce will not get involved in any disputes; we only do business.

If you want to ask, what do you want to do after confirming something?

"Then I will tell you now, young master, that I have some information I wish to sell you."

what news?

Young master, since we're doing business, why should I tell you the details first? Shouldn't we agree on the price first, and then discuss other things?

Hearing this, Zhu Chongjiu withdrew his imposing aura, but his expression became more solemn than before, and he said, "Since we're doing business, let's put aside the price for now. Shouldn't Chairman Murong also tell us about the items?"

Even a single low-grade immortal crystal is meaningless to me if it's not something I need.

Murong Yu paused for a moment, then chuckled twice and replied, "What you say is true, young master. No wonder you are capable of doing such a great thing."

Putting aside his abilities, he is first-rate in both intellect and eloquence.

So let me briefly explain the cause of this news.

After saying that, Murong Yu put away her somewhat mischievous expression and slowly said, "Nearly six hundred years ago, one of Zhu Rong Immortal Lord's Light Guards went missing."

The Purple Thunder Immortal Lord's Thunder Reflection Array and Golden Thunder Stone were stolen.

Most importantly, Immortal King Duomu, a subordinate of Immortal Lord Zilei, was also assassinated on his way back from collecting tribute. Not only did the tribute disappear without a trace, but even his corpse…

"Alright, that's enough. Let's talk about the price of the information!" Zhu Chongjiu said to Murong Yu, his face ashen.
