Chapter 552 Once You Lose Your Shame
Zhang Zhiwen got rid of these people, but he still didn't like being so high-profile. He still liked to be alone. He would naturally accept the kindness of these big guys, but he would not take advantage of others too much.
As a person, you have to know when to advance and retreat. You can't just go to the auction to take things when these big guys asked him to. That's too tasteless. Of course, this Nine Dragons Golden Order is acceptable. He Zhang Zhiwen will not make enemies for no reason. With these big guys looking forward to him, he naturally knows how to advance and retreat. As for Gu Chengfeng and others, he doesn't reject them. It's always better to have more friends than more enemies.
In this way, Zhang Zhiwen returned to Tianshui Fairyland. He could return to Tianshui Fairyland as long as he went through the Daochang portal of Daoyi Mountain.
After returning, Zhang Zhiwen came to Tianshui City. He did not return to Fanyin Sect, at least he didn't plan to go back for the time being. He would probably wait until he formed a pill before returning. He planned to meet Cai Mingji because Zhang Zhiwen agreed to go to the Fairyland with her to attend the auction.
Originally, Zhang Zhiwen could go to the Fairyland alone to attend the auction, and with his current status and the Nine Dragons Golden Order, there was almost no place he couldn't go, but he didn't want to do that, because he didn't want to take advantage of others, and he would rather be self-reliant.
Moreover, Zhang Zhiwen also had the ability to buy Chongshen Pills, as long as he had enough Tianshui Ancient Stones and refined enough Ancient Spirit Gold, that would be all right.
There was no need to worry about these Tianshui Ancient Stones, as they were everywhere in Tianshui City, especially when everyone heard that the Fairyland Auction, which was rare in a century, was about to be held, so they would definitely prepare well, and all these Tianshui Ancient Stones stored in the warehouse would naturally be taken out for sale.
Besides, the auction of Tianshui Xianmeng is actually still some time away. Zhang Zhiwen guessed that Tianshui Xianland planned to hold the auction after the auction of Daxianyu was over. This was reasonable. By then, there must be many people with various treasures, and they would be more willing to auction them. But now they must be a little worse. Everyone is going to participate in the auction of Xianyu, and the good things must be kept.
In this way, Zhang Zhiwen was not in a hurry to purchase Tianshui ancient stones. Anyway, this thing is always available, so he went to see Cai Mingji first, but Zhang Zhiwen naturally went to see Cai Mingji after changing his appearance.
It’s not that Zhang Zhiwen is worried about his identity being exposed now, but he doesn’t want to bother explaining to Cai Mingji. In this case, it’s better to keep everything as it is.
"So it's you, young master. My lady has been waiting for you for a long time. Come on, please come in."
The steward of Qingyue Pavilion came to greet Zhang Zhiwen in person, which surprised Zhang Zhiwen a little. However, it can be seen that Cai Mingji has been waiting for Zhang Zhiwen for some time, but Zhang Zhiwen is in Daoyi Mountain and the outside world can't contact him.
So, Zhang Zhiwen followed the steward of Qingyue Pavilion to the lobby, but what surprised Zhang Zhiwen was that there were other people here. The steward of Qingyue Pavilion seemed a little embarrassed, but he didn't say much, just bowed to Zhang Zhiwen, and then left without telling Zhang Zhiwen what was going on.
Zhang Zhiwen stood at the door and looked inside. There were several people sitting inside.
The leader was an old man who looked quite serious, and Cai Mingji was sitting below him. Then there was a man and a woman sitting opposite Cai Mingji. The man and woman were young, but they obviously didn't look good. They looked like flies smelling shit, showing their self-righteous dignity. Anyway, they looked like villains watching Cai Mingji's show.
Cai Mingji saw Zhang Zhiwen at this time. Her originally gloomy face suddenly changed, like a sunny day after a rainy day, showing a bright smile, and then she quickly stood up and came over.
"Mr. Zhang, you are here?"
Cai Mingji didn't know whether she missed Zhang Zhiwen or for some other reason. Anyway, when she saw Zhang Zhiwen, her expression was happier than seeing a treasure.
Zhang Zhiwen nodded, and then couldn't help asking: "Did I disturb you?"
"No, no, Mr. Zhang, please be polite. I'm afraid I'm not welcoming enough and made you laugh."
Cai Mingji was still as elegant as ever, and her gentle and elegant temperament was fully revealed in her conversation.
Even Zhang Zhiwen felt that Cai Mingji's words were indeed refreshing. If Cai Mingji hadn't done something that made Zhang Zhiwen uncomfortable before, Zhang Zhiwen would still have a very good impression of Cai Mingji.
"Huh, who is this? What are you talking to you about standing at the door? Mingji, you are really something. You are so old, but you don't know how to restrain yourself. Don't you see Elder He is here?"
The young man in the hall spoke, and the tone of his opening was a lecture.
"That's right, we are discussing something here, but you just left us to talk to someone you don't know. Could this person be your lover?"
The young woman was also very rude, and her words made people feel extremely vulgar.
Zhang Zhiwen frowned. In this day and age, there are still such rampant rats? Zhang Zhiwen is not in the same situation as before. It is not easy for him to deal with these two people. Moreover, these two people are not powerful characters at first glance. The man is only at the sixth level of foundation building, and the woman is only at the fifth level of foundation building. I don't know where these people came from.
However, Cai Mingji obviously didn't want to embarrass Zhang Zhiwen, so she quickly comforted him: "Well, Mr. Zhang, please follow me."
After Cai Mingji finished speaking, she took Zhang Zhiwen into the lobby.
"Elder He, this is Mr. Zhang that I told you about. He has ancient spiritual gold that he can use. I have reported this matter to the Chamber of Commerce."
Cai Mingji introduced Zhang Zhiwen to the old man, and when they heard this, they realized that Zhang Zhiwen was the disciple of the master Cai Mingji said. However, the old man and others obviously did not express anything. They only saw the old man lightly humming, and then said : "Then please take a seat, Mr. Zhang."
As for the man and woman, they looked at Zhang Zhiwen jokingly, as if he felt that Zhang Zhiwen was not an expert disciple, but they looked at him with contempt anyway.
When Zhang Zhiwen saw this, he didn't intend to pay attention to it, and he was cooperating with Cai Mingji on this matter. Since both parties had promised before, otherwise Zhang Zhiwen would not need them, but since Zhang Zhiwen promised Cai Mingji, he would definitely have to Keep your word.
But Zhang Zhiwen did not agree to Cai Mingji calling any elders or informing the Chamber of Commerce. Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen did not intend to continue cooperation.
Cai Mingji naturally saw the change in Zhang Zhiwen's expression, and she couldn't help but send a message to Zhang Zhiwen: "Mr. Zhang, please don't be anxious. Listen to me, it's like this. I originally wanted to tell you about this matter, but I couldn't contact you at the moment. …”
Cai Mingji explained to Zhang Zhiwen that it turned out that the cooperation between Cai Mingji and Zhang Zhiwen was originally planned to be decided just like this, but Cai Mingji thought about it later and realized that the matter would eventually be known to the Chamber of Commerce, and this matter seemed to be of great importance. , involving the auction of ancient spiritual gold, it would be very inappropriate for her, Cai Mingji, to make a selfish decision secretly. This is one of the reasons.
Secondly, she was also worried that Zhang Zhiwen would be implicated in this matter. After all, the Chamber of Commerce was too powerful, and she did not want Zhang Zhiwen to be embarrassed by the Chamber of Commerce because of her.
The last point is that Zhang Zhiwen came to Wonderland alone after all. If something happened, she would be worried that the Nascent Soul master behind Zhang Zhiwen would conflict with the Chamber of Commerce. There was no need at all.
Therefore, Cai Mingji thought about it and finally decided to report the matter to the Chamber of Commerce, and she made it clear that Zhang Zhiwen was cooperating with her on this matter and was not intending to rely on the strength of the Chamber of Commerce. She, Cai Mingji, could bear it on her own.
But Cai Mingji still underestimated the tyranny of the Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber of Commerce directly sent Elder He and her cousins to supervise her.
Needless to say, Elder He came here on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce, and her cousins were heads of chambers of commerce in other wonderlands. When they heard about this, they immediately used their connections to come over and get a share of the pie.
Therefore, the current situation has become like this. Cai Mingji naturally regrets reporting the matter, but there is nothing she can do, and she does not dare to make the decision without authorization.
When Zhang Zhiwen heard her explanation, he naturally made a decision, because since it was Cai Mingji who broke the contract first, why should he continue to cooperate with Cai Mingji?
Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen said nothing, turned around and left.
"Wait!"
Elder He stood up and called out to Zhang Zhiwen.
Zhang Zhiwen stopped and turned to look at Elder He. He didn't know what the old man was going to do. Could it be that he planned to keep him? Then this abacus was wrong. With the old man's initial cultivation of Jindan, Zhang Zhiwen wasn't too worried about anything.
"Mr. Zhang, what are you doing? Do you dare to go against this Chamber of Commerce?"
Elder He was aggressive when he opened his mouth.
"That's right, I advise you not to overthink it. Also, Ming Ji said you have some kind of Nascent Soul master as your backer. I don't think you look like it. Why don't you ask your master to come out?"
The young man teased Zhang Zhiwen unscrupulously.
"Haha, forget it. As soon as he heard that the Chamber of Commerce was going to take over the matter, he was so frightened that he turned around and ran away. This is nothing more than a guilty conscience, and he just deceived Mingji. Who believes that he has any ancient spiritual gold! Yes, I didn’t know where I stole it, just to fool Ming Ji!”
The young woman was even more open-minded and directly said that Zhang Zhiwen was a liar.
"No, no, Mr. Zhang, don't misunderstand..."
Cai Mingji became anxious when she saw that everyone was making trouble as soon as they met. She quickly looked at Elder He and said, "Elder He, Mr. Zhang is definitely not a liar. He really has ancient spiritual gold. If you don't believe it, you can let him I gave it to you to take a look at.”
Obviously, Cai Mingji planned to mediate and act as a peacemaker. Unfortunately, this matter was no longer under her control.
Zhang Zhiwen had no patience to talk nonsense with them. He just glanced at Elder He lightly, then turned and left again.
With a whoosh, the young man blocked Zhang Zhiwen's way, and the young woman followed closely and appeared behind Zhang Zhiwen. The two blocked Zhang Zhiwen one after the other.
At this time, Elder He slowly walked down from above and came to Zhang Zhiwen.
He stroked his beard and said, "Master Zhang, right? No matter whether what Ming Ji said is true or not, but since you have an agreement to cooperate, is it inappropriate for you to walk away like this?"
Elder He seemed to be less aggressive in his tone, but it was obvious that he just felt that there was no need to deal with Zhang Zhiwen in a big way, otherwise the Chamber of Commerce would be bullying others if word spread.
"Yes, if you hand over the ancient spiritual gold, I'll let you go!"
"If you don't, then you are deceiving us. Since you deceived us, we are not polite!"
Cai Mingji's cousins are really stupid. They speak in a arrogant manner. They must be used to being domineering. When they saw Zhang Zhiwen coming alone, they thought they were easy to bully.
Logically speaking, they are all the leaders of the Fairyland Chamber of Commerce, so they should have some good sense, but why do they look so domineering and stupid?
Obviously, this should be done on purpose. They deliberately angered Zhang Zhiwen, provoked Zhang Zhiwen, found excuses for Zhang Zhiwen, and then dealt with Zhang Zhiwen.
Otherwise, why have they been reluctant to take action for a long time? Logically speaking, Elder He can take action as soon as he arrives.
Zhang Zhiwen glanced at them, and he felt that this matter was a bit interesting. He originally didn't intend to provoke these people, nor did he intend to have trouble with any chamber of commerce, but now they obviously intend to take advantage of the underworld. How can that be done? Then we must deal with them.
"I definitely have the ancient spiritual gold, but why should I give it to you? Even if I cooperate with Cai Mingji, it should be given to Cai Mingji. Of course, giving it to Cai Mingji is the same as giving it to you, but What price are you going to offer?"
Zhang Zhiwen said leisurely. It was obvious that he was not in a hurry anymore. He was just free to play with these guys.
Elder He and others obviously did not expect Zhang Zhiwen to be so calm, and it was reasonable for Zhang Zhiwen to say these words. Then Elder He and others naturally had nothing to do with Zhang Zhiwen and could not anger him.
"Young Master Zhang seems to be really magnanimous. He is not afraid in the face of danger. There really is a master behind Mr. Zhang. Haha, it was all a misunderstanding just now. It was all a misunderstanding. Come on! Sit down!"
Elder He's face changed as quickly as he turned the page in a book, "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you show Mr. Zhang some tea?"
Elder He scolded Cai Mingji and the others.
Cai Mingji also looked surprised, and then quickly went to pour tea.
"What are you two still standing for? Why don't you come over to see Mr. Zhang?" Elder He shouted at the other two guys again.
The two guys also changed their faces instantly, and they quickly came over to apologize to Zhang Zhiwen.
Sure enough, he was worthy of being a figure from the Chamber of Commerce. He always changed his face. First, they tried to anger Zhang Zhiwen, and then directly took advantage of him. As a result, they immediately found out that Zhang Zhiwen should have an extraordinary background. They immediately changed their faces and hurriedly flattered him.
If not for the fact that this Chamber of Commerce is so powerful and has business all over the Immortal Realm, I have to say that this group of people is not stupid, but shrewd to the point of not knowing how smart they are. They are also ruthless and do things resolutely.
Looking at it this way, Cai Mingji is indeed much inferior. Cai Mingji still talks about benevolence, righteousness and morality. This benevolence, righteousness and morality are certainly very good, but when it comes to business, Old He and the others are still better, and if this person is no longer wanted If you have a good face, you will make more money.
