Chapter 172
Seeing this, Gao Songyang hurriedly caught it carefully, but did not immediately check it.
The white-clothed man nodded, and then said, "The news you reported to the sect is already known, since this Hanhai Auction House has the strength and does not deal with those first-class sects, it is worth our wooing." Now that the situation is tense, any force that can be co-opted should not be missed. β
Gao Songyang hesitated for a moment and then spoke: "But, the one surnamed Li..."
"It doesn't matter, according to the information you have gotten, that person can fight with an old first-layer powerhouse in the Mortal Realm and destroy a medium-grade spirit stone mine, thinking about it, it is just the peak of the first layer of the Mortal Realm at most to the second layer. The man in white said confidently.
No one would suspect that Li Shenzhou deliberately destroyed a medium-grade spirit stone mine, after all, the value was not small.
"But if you make a move, will you be recognized, I am afraid that this stronghold will be exposed, and at that time, Hanhai Auction House may not continue to marry us..."Gao Songyang then reminded.
This question made the man in white fall silent, but it was just a moment before the man in white spoke again: "When the time comes, as long as you cover up your appearance, with my cultivation at the fifth level of the Mortal Realm, even if I don't need to major in martial arts, it is not something that a martial artist at the first or second level of the Mortal Realm can resist, so it will not be exposed." β
"Yes, family master!" Gao Songyang replied respectfully when he saw that the person who came had made up his mind.
"Okay, you guys go out, I'll meditate here, and if that person comes, come back to me!" said the man in white lightly.
"Yes, family master, subordinates retire!" After Gao Songyang finished speaking, he and Gao Shijie bowed all the way to the door before turning around and leaving.
The door closed slowly, and the secret room of the head of the door became a little dim again, only the faint candlelight flickered, and the faces of the people who came were blurry and distorted, but if Li Shenzhou was here, he would definitely recognize the identity of the person.
This person turned out to be the leader of the famous Sword Mountain when the Hidden Treasure Secret Realm opened that day, the elder Gao Han, and judging from the surnames of him and Gao Songyang's father and son, it was obviously a family.
This Iron Sword Gate turned out to be the shadow son of Mingjian Mountain placed in Dongping County.
After sending Lu Xiaoman and Xiaoxiao away, Li Shenzhou returned to the cultivation room again to guide the cultivation of Zhu Xiaoyue and Qingmei.
It's just that Zhu Xiaoyue now doesn't have the same energetic energy as before, and she doesn't know what she's thinking when she is absent-minded all day long, and her moves are messy.
"Okay, the more you practice absentmindedly, the more you go back, you better go back and rest!" Li Shenzhou finally couldn't help but say, he naturally saw that Zhu Xiaoyue had something on his mind, but since she didn't say it, he didn't bother to ask, after all, he was just responsible for cultivating Zhu Xiaoyue into a good martial artist.
Hearing Li Shenzhou's words, Zhu Xiaoyue couldn't help but tremble, her steps were unsteady and she fell directly to the ground, and it seemed that she had sprained her ankle directly.
"Xiaoyue, are you okay?" Seeing this, the two Qingmei hurriedly ran to Zhu Xiaoyue's side and said with concern.
Maybe because of the women at the same time, they still have a good impression of Zhu Xiaoyue, a little girl, and after running to her, they planned to use Bimu Longevity Technique to help her treat her ankle injury, which is nothing in this world.
However, Zhu Xiaoyue broke away and ran towards Li Shenzhou without waiting for them to treat herself, but she fell down again after taking a step due to the inconvenience of her legs and feet, but she still endured the severe pain and crawled in front of Li Shenzhou without stopping, struggling to kneel up and said, "Master, please save my sister!"
Li Shenzhou, who was blocked from going way, looked at her with a little impatience in his eyes, but before he could speak, the two Qingmei had already rushed over to help her up, and at the same time couldn't help asking: "Xiaoyue, you get up first, what's wrong with Steward Zhu?"
However, Zhu Xiaoyue refused their support, and still knelt there and said urgently: "The family doesn't let my sister continue to be the steward, and they want to marry her to that Gao Shijie!"
Li Shenzhou thought for a while before recalling who Gao Shijie was, and said strangely: "The young head of the Iron Sword Gate? Isn't that good." β
Li Shenzhou naturally had a good interest in this guy who gave him a hundred high-grade spirit stones, although he had actually only met him once, but this Gao Shijie actually didn't leave a bad impression on him.
And this is obviously a family marriage, a very normal thing, a woman born in the family, enjoys the treatment given by the family, and is arranged to marry, which is also the price she should pay.
"It's not good, then Gao Shijie is a bastard! my sister won't be happy if she marries him!" Zhu Xiaoyue said anxiously.
"Then you go to your family to theorize, what are you looking for me to do?" Li Shenzhou couldn't help but roll his eyes, could he still let him rob people? That would be ridiculous.
Li Shenzhou had a different opinion of Zhu Yuzhen before, but he was just someone he knew and could talk to, especially knowing that the other party was trying to please himself, and pushing Zhu Xiaoyue, who he didn't like, to his side, which had already greatly reduced Li Shenzhou's impression of her, and then just regarded their relationship as a transaction, Li Shenzhou helped her teach Zhu Xiaoyue to become a talent, and she helped Li Shenzhou sell treasures as soon as possible in exchange for high-grade spirit stones, that's all.
"I, I... The family will not agree, the people in the family have always looked down on me and my sister, and they have made things difficult for us everywhere, if it wasn't for my sister's efforts, we might have starved to death..."Zhu Xiaoyue said, tears couldn't help but roll in her eyes.
"Oh, what is the origin of your family?" asked Li Shenzhou with some curiosity.
Zhu Xiaoyue hesitated for a moment when she heard this, but then said: "Actually, my sister and I are from the Eastern Regions, and our family is the Zhu family, one of the five major families of the Qin State in the Eastern Regions, and this Hanhai Auction House is actually the intelligence agency set up here by the Qin State, which is jointly run by the Zhu family and another martial artist of the five major families. β
Li Shenzhou couldn't help but show a hint of surprise, he didn't expect Zhu Yuzhen and Hanhai Auction House to come from like this, but then he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Each of the seven countries in the Eastern Regions has a peerless master of the True Realm, and although the strength is not as good as the top sects, it is not far behind, as for the five major families, although Li Shenzhou does not know the specific situation, he will not be worse than the first-class sects, just this Zhu Xiaoyue still wants him to make a move? This is to kill himself.
Zhu Xiaoyue also seemed to see Li Shenzhou's dissatisfied look and hurriedly said: "Master, I'm not asking you to make a move against the auction house, as long as you can destroy the Iron Sword Gate, then my sister doesn't have to marry that Gao Shijie!"
Li Shenzhou couldn't help but smile, and secretly said Zhu Xiaoyue was really naΓ―ve, wouldn't destroying the Iron Sword Gate by himself destroy the plan of the Hanhai Auction House? Even if they didn't pursue it, what if Zhu Yuzhen was married to someone else?
