Chapter 211 I hope to take him with me.
After Huan Yan woke up, she really didn't dare to cause any trouble. She stayed in the space to cultivate her ice lotus and began to cultivate in seclusion, ignoring all outside affairs.
She was truly terrified by Bai Yan. She was already a Nascent Soul cultivator, yet he treated her like nothing. One could imagine how powerful he was.
It was indeed a true dragon, something that shouldn't exist in the human realm. Since it appeared, there must be a cause and effect. These were things that Huan Yan dared not even dream of, so she naturally pretended not to see anything.
Bai Yan continued to slumber in the spiritual spring, slowly recovering his cultivation. However, his body was like a bottomless pit; no matter how much spiritual energy entered, it was like a mud ox sinking into the sea, completely unusable for him. He could only wait and see if there was any opportunity.
After everything was arranged, Tao Tao returned to the Lu family home, wanting to find out about Bogulou. Actually, she was mainly interested in the owner and wanted to see if he was worth cooperating with.
Lu Bai was very surprised when Tao Tao, who had disappeared for several days, suddenly reappeared. He thought that Tao Tao had been caught in the crisis at Bogu Tower and had unfortunately perished.
"Miss Le has finally appeared! You've been gone for so long, I thought you had left Gu Ning City and gone to Rong City on your own." Lu Bai hurriedly invited Tao Tao into the mansion, excitedly entertaining her and telling her about the recent events.
Upon learning that Tao Tao had returned to inquire about Bogu Tower, Lu Bai was slightly taken aback and asked in surprise, "Didn't you already go there? Why do you still want to ask?"
"I want to know about their boss."
Tao Tao was quite frank, directly stating that it was related to the boss. This left Lu Bai with no way to answer her, so he could only say, "Perhaps my father can answer your questions about that boss."
"Good work."
Lu Zhengxing had just returned from the Chamber of Commerce. Recently, there had been undercurrents in Gu Ning City, and it seemed that something big was about to happen. The incident at Bogu Tower seemed to be just the beginning, making many people in the Chamber of Commerce uneasy.
When Lu Zhengxing returned and learned that Tao Tao had something to ask him, he was very surprised. However, Tao Tao was someone they wanted to win over, and the fact that he had participated in the Bogulou auction unscathed made him very curious. He quickly asked Lu Bai to clear the person away.
Soon, Tao Tao followed Lu Bai to the study, where Lu Zhengxing had been waiting for a long time. As soon as he saw Tao Tao, he greeted him warmly and tried to get information out of him by asking about what had happened at Bogu Tower.
Tao Tao wasn't stupid, so he wouldn't tell the truth. He deliberately made excuses, saying, "It was a mess at the time, and I didn't know what happened. I just followed the others and somehow ended up out of Bogu Building."
"Really? Miss Le is quite lucky. I heard that a lot of people died at Bogu Tower that day. Bai'er and I were very worried about you. Luckily you are alright."
"Ah, I heard about that too. Luckily I got away quickly." Tao Tao smiled innocently, scratching his head. He looked so pure and harmless that it was impossible to find any fault with him.
Don't be fooled by Tao Tao's seemingly innocent and naive appearance; she's actually quite cunning. Lu Zhengxing initially thought Tao Tao was easy to talk to, but after spending time with her, he realized that she was much more stubborn than others and he couldn't get anything out of her, so he had to give up.
"I heard that you wish to inquire about the owner of Bogulou Restaurant? May I ask what your purpose is?"
Seeing that Tao Tao was unwilling to talk much about Bogulou, Lu Zhengxing immediately changed the subject. Since she wanted to inquire about the owner of Bogulou, there were some things that couldn't be avoided.
Tao Tao became interested at the mention of this, immediately sat up straight, and said with a smile, "Yes, because he invited me to go to some Sunset Palace. I don't know his character, so I didn't dare to agree easily. I wanted to ask you if you know anything about him, Uncle."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhengxing fell silent. He never expected that Tao Tao would be invited by Bogulou, and that the boss would personally come forward. This showed how much influence she had. But was she really naive or was she doing it on purpose, casually revealing such things to others?
If she's naive, she's not unaware of Tao Tao's temperament; after spending time with her, she understands him quite well. She doesn't seem like a naive person at all. But if she's not naive, shouldn't this kind of thing be kept secret? Or does she trust them enough?
Unable to understand Tao Tao's intentions, Lu Zhengxing frowned slightly. Lu Bai, standing beside him, was also greatly shocked and asked in a low voice, "Are you sure it was the owner of Bogulou who invited you?"
"Yes, that's what he said himself. I'm not sure if it's true, but he also gave me this." Tao Tao obediently took out the jade pendant and handed it to Lu Bai. The father and son were both surprised when they saw it. It really was a jade pendant unique to Bogulou, which ordinary people could not obtain. It seemed that Tao Tao was telling the truth.
The reason Tao Tao was so open with everything was simply because he didn't care if others found out. Besides, even if the father and son knew, they wouldn't reveal it. They would definitely try their best to gain something from it. Tao Tao was unfamiliar with the place, so of course he had to find someone he could trust. In case anything happened, at least he would have a backup plan.
After his initial shock subsided, Lu Zhengxing calmed down and said, "You should put this away carefully. Many people in Gu Ning City covet the power of Bo Gu Lou and want to befriend them, but they can't find a way. Once others find out, your situation will be very dangerous."
"Really?" Tao Tao tilted her head in surprise, then carefully put the jade pendant away, looking as if she really didn't understand anything.
"But I've already told you."
Then, Tao Tao grinned, and whether it was unintentional or not, his words commanded the respect of the father and son.
You can't afford to mess with them, you really can't afford to mess with them.
"Don't worry, we will absolutely not tell anyone. But you should also be careful. Bogu Tower is a very deep place, and it's not something you or I can explore."
"I understand. Please tell me about the owner of Bogulou, sir."
"The owner of Bogulou is named Qi Jingfei. He was once a young master from a prominent family, but for some unknown reason, he suddenly left home and founded Bogulou here. Behind him are a group of high-level cultivators, making it the most powerful and complex entity in Gu Ning City..."
After listening to Qi Jingfei's information, Tao Tao nodded thoughtfully. So he was born into a prominent family, no wonder he had such a wide network of connections.
Dealing with powerful families requires caution; you might easily find yourself in trouble.
“Miss Yue, since Boss Qi has invited you to come along, you will naturally receive some benefits. I have heard that the Sunset Palace is filled with countless treasures and is constantly surrounded by spiritual energy, making it the best place for cultivation. I have a favor to ask, and I hope you will agree.”
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhengxing suddenly stood up, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Tao Tao, and his attitude was very sincere.
Without even thinking, Tao Tao knew what he wanted to do. She pretended not to understand, tilted her head and smiled, "Uncle, you can just say what's going on between us, there's no need for this."
“You’re a straightforward person, so I’ll be frank. I hope you can take my son with you when you go to Sunset Palace. Although his cultivation level isn’t high, he has some ability to scout. Once you’re there, you can’t easily trust others, so having someone accompany you won’t hurt.”
"Father, you want me to go?"
Before Tao Tao could speak, Lu Bai exclaimed in alarm, "Sunset Palace is no ordinary place. It is fraught with dangers. Although it is full of treasures, it is not certain whether we can get out safely."
Besides, Lu Bai knew his cultivation level was low, and he would only be a hindrance if he went to such a place, so he was too embarrassed to ask Tao Tao to take him there.
“I know that your cultivation has not improved. It’s not because you lack talent, but because you haven’t had any fortuitous encounters. Going out and trying might bring you great opportunities. Miss Le, if you agree, I can give you the Twilight Spring Pill.”
Late Spring Pill?
Tao Tao was puzzled, wondering what grade of pill it was, when Huan Yan in the space suddenly transmitted her voice to her: "A grade four pill, he is really something else. Little one, take it, it will be of great benefit to you and can help you improve your cultivation."
To enhance cultivation? Couldn't Ayan use that too?
"Okay, it's settled then!" Tao Tao immediately nodded in agreement, agreeing with remarkable decisiveness. Only Lu Bai had some doubts. It was a fourth-grade pill, was it really worth it? The entire Lu Zhang Merchant Guild only had this one treasure.
While he was wondering, Lu Zhengxing transmitted his voice to him and said, "Although fourth-grade pills are extremely precious, the treasures in Sunset Palace are far superior to the Twilight Spring Pill. Bai'er, I need you to help me find something. This item is very important to us."
