After Zhongli said goodbye to Cao Ying, he went directly to his room.

Cao Ying had already said that Zhongli was not a traitor, and everyone watched Zhongli pass by, so they stopped stopping him.

When Zhongli passed by a few people, Granny Li was expressionless, and Mao Kai smiled and nodded in greeting, but Tuoba Ye still had a resentful expression.

Zhongli didn't care about Tuoba Ye's feelings, he and Tuoba Ye had never been of the same class, he had a long-term vision, and his only goal now was to surpass Shangguan Yaowen.

In Fengzhou, only the strength of Shangguan Yaowen can gain a firm foothold. There is no doubt that if he has Shangguan Yaowen's strength now, then the Lu family's support for him will be even greater.

Zhongli now had no worries about cultivation resources, but he still had a lot of things to do.

He needed to find the whereabouts of Chongming Bird, Ma Yun, Mu Yuxuan, Fat Man and others, except for Chongming Bird, he had already told Lu Chen the detailed appearance of the three people, and asked Lu Chen to help find their whereabouts. This is also one of the main reasons why Zhongli agreed to stand with the Lu family, he needs such a force, otherwise just by himself, even if his strength is all over the sky, in the huge Fengzhou, it is still difficult to find their whereabouts.

When Zhongli returned to his room, he stared at the storage ring in his left hand for a long time. He sighed softly and thought to himself, this storage ring is indeed a good thing, but it is Su Luo's thing, although it was given to him by Cao Ying, many people have seen Su Luo wear this ring.

Fortunately, I met Cao Ying today, and if I was seen by someone with a heart, I would inevitably make a big fuss about this storage ring.

Zhongli thought with a headache, he didn't know what to do, it was okay that he hadn't used the storage ring, but after using it, he was used to the convenience of the storage ring, so he didn't want to give up this storage ring so easily.

The Lu family naturally had the financial resources to prepare a storage spiritual weapon for him, but he didn't want to go to the Lu family for help in everything. Although Lu Yuanping and Lu Chen both said that they would support him unconditionally, he understood that the more he took from others now, the more difficult it would be to pay it off in the future. He didn't want to get into the habit of relying on others for everything.

Zhongli suddenly thought that people can be disguised, so can the storage ring be disguised? Thinking of this, Zhongli's eyes lit up, and he immediately experimented. He used the disguise spirit technique taught by the Chongming Bird to cast it on the storage ring, and after testing it a few times, it really had some effect. The original gorgeous and simple storage ring has become dull and colorless, mediocre. Zhongli was overjoyed, and his mind was done!

Early the next morning, after Zhongli inquired about Guo Ye's residence with the innkeeper, he went out early, and went to find Guo Ye and help Lu Rongxuan pay off his debts. What he promised to do, he would naturally do it, and he couldn't get used to Guo Ye's kidnapping of other people's Taoist couples.

The place where Guo Ye lives is relatively remote, far away from the downtown area. But the location is an inch of land, belonging to the rich concentration area, the courtyard where Guo Ye lives is also quite luxurious, Zhongli looked from a distance, two biao-shaped doormen stood in front of the door, blazing.

It was a suburb, and it was still early for Zhongli to come, and there was no one on the road, so Zhongli walked towards Guo's mansion, which was quite eye-catching.

Zhongli walked outside the door of Guo's mansion, and before he could speak, a doorman stepped forward to stop Zhongli and said, "What are you doing?"

"I'm looking for you Guo Ye, please let me know," Zhongli said politely. He didn't want to clash with the guards, at least when he saw Guo Ye.

"Is Guo Ye something you can see if you want to see him?" said a doorman with a sneer.

Zhongli was too young for the two guards to look down on.

"Guo Mansion didn't see any guests before noon, and I want to borrow a spirit stone and come back after noon!" said a doorman who looked at Zhongli with contempt.

People often come to Guo's Mansion to borrow spirit stones, and they have long been accustomed to it, thinking that Zhongli also came to borrow spirit stones.

"I'm not here to borrow the spirit stone, I'm looking for you Guo Ye to have something!" Zhongli still didn't want to conflict with the doorman, and said helplessly. He didn't want his master to see him, he quarreled with his subordinates first, and it was unrealistic to forcibly break in, Qingming City had a clear rule prohibiting martial arts, and he didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

"Why is there so much nonsense? Don't you just want to borrow a spirit stone, and tell you to come back after noon!" said a doorman with a sword at his waist and a threat.

"You!" Zhongli was a little annoyed, but after thinking about it, he decided not to meet the doorman, he was here to solve things, not to stir things up.

Thinking like this, Zhongli saw that it was still early, so he waited outside the gate of Guo's mansion.

The two guards saw that Zhongli did not leave, wandering around outside the gate of Guo's mansion, and they didn't care about him anymore, comparing the road to a public area, as long as Zhongli was not close to Guo's mansion, they didn't bother to care.

Finally, the sun rose in the middle of the day, and noon arrived.

Zhongli looked up at the sky, walked forward again and said, "Can you inform me now?"

A doorman stepped forward and replied: "Have you figured out the rules of the Guo Mansion? If you want to borrow a spirit stone, you have to bear a high interest rate, nine out of thirteen, if you can accept it, I will take you to see Guo Ye!"

Zhongli understands the meaning of nine out and thirteen, that is, if you borrow ten lower-grade spirit stones, then you can only get nine, but when you pay it back, you have to pay back thirteen yuan, and the interest is really high.

But Zhongli didn't come to borrow the spirit stone at all, and he didn't bother to argue with the doorman any more, as long as he saw Guo Ye. So Zhongli nodded, indicating that he understood, and motioned for the doorman to lead the way.

But Zhongli couldn't help but wonder when he saw that the doorman hadn't moved for a long time, but was looking at it arrogantly.

After thinking about it, Zhong Li understood what the doorman meant, this was to receive benefits, helplessly, Zhong Li had no choice but to take out dozens of lower grade spirit stones from his arms and hand them to him.

The doorman took a look and said with a sneer, "What about our two brothers!"

When Zhongli heard this, he held back his anger and took out dozens of lower-grade spirit stones and handed them to another doorman.

The two guards felt that Zhong Li was here to borrow the spirit stone, and it was estimated that they would not receive too many benefits, so they looked at Zhong Li with disdain and motioned for him to follow.

In this way, Zhongli, who had been angry outside the gate of the Guo Mansion all morning, finally entered the Guo Mansion.

When the doorman brought Zhongli to the door of a study in Guo's mansion, he said to him, "You wait here, I'll go and report it." Don't blame me for not reminding you, if you want to borrow a spirit stone, have a better attitude, Guo Ye's spirit stone is not something anyone can borrow. ”

Zhongli didn't speak, he was already here, he didn't bother to say more to the doorman, and asked him to go and report.

"Guo Ye. The doorman shouted softly outside the study and walked straight inside.

Guo Ye was looking at the account book in the study, and when he saw the doorman coming in, he asked dissatisfiedly, "What's the matter?"

Guo Ye gave the doorman the privilege to see him directly, after all, guarding the gate often needs to deal with some borrowers, he is doing this business, and naturally he doesn't want to miss some borrowers, so he doesn't blame the doorman.

The doorman smiled and said, "Yes, Guo Ye." There was a young boy who came to borrow the spirit stone, and I saw that he was dressed gorgeously, and the amount of spirit stone he borrowed must have been quite large, so I brought him in. ”

As soon as Guo Ye saw the appearance of the doorman, he knew that he must have received benefits from others again. Recently, everyone has been brought to Guo's mansion, and they don't know the details clearly, and just as they wanted to teach a few lessons, they saw Zhongli walking in from outside.

"Why did you come in!" The doorman saw Zhongli coming in and was about to get angry, but saw Guo Ye suddenly stand up.

"Is it you kid?" Guo Ye stood up and said when he saw Zhongli.

"Guo Ye, do you know?" the doorman looked at Guo Ye and said cautiously.

He thought that Zhongli said that he had something to do with Guo Ye, but he embarrassed Zhongli for a while in the morning, thinking that it would not be really so coincidental and offend people.

"You go down first!" Guo Ye said to the doorman first, and he was in no mood to criticize the doorman at this time.

After the doorman answered, he walked out, and closed the door by the way, and glanced at Zhongli a few times before leaving, with an apology in his eyes.

Zhongli didn't seem to see it, he knew that the doorman had guessed wrong, but he didn't bother to explain.

After the doorman left, Guo Ye spoke again: "What's the matter?

Zhongli nodded and said, "Yes, the spirit stone is for you, let Lu Rongxuan Daoist go!"

After Zhongli finished speaking, the storage ring spread out in his right hand and left hand slid away, and fifty medium-grade spirit stones suddenly appeared in the study and placed them in front of Zhongli.

Guo Ye was stunned for a moment, looked at the storage ring on Zhongli's left hand, and then saw the fifty medium-grade spirit stones in front of him, he couldn't help but have a headache, he didn't expect Zhongli to really take out so many spirit stones.

In fact, he knows the details of Lu Rongxuan very well, Lu Rongxuan is now a waste, he doesn't think that Lu Rongxuan can take out so many spirit stones to pay back, so he has already sold Lu Rongxuan's Taoist companion to a big family to be a maid. Now that Zhongli had taken out so many spirit stones, it gave him a headache, and he couldn't return Lu Rongxuan's Daoist to Zhao completely.

And Zhongli's spirit stone was taken out of the storage ring, which was also something that made him a little taboo, ordinary monks could not afford such high-end luxuries.

"What is the relationship between Daoyou and Lu Rongxuan, and what is there about him that is worth spending so many spirit stones?" Guo Ye asked the question in his heart.

Lu Rongxuan was just an ordinary casual cultivator, he had already investigated it clearly, otherwise he wouldn't dare to do the matter of selling Lu Rongxuan's Taoist companion before the time came.
