Chapter 123: Yao Lao Development Guide
Gu Fengchen's test also yielded results, and the other party's reaction confirmed his guess.
Moreover, with Yao Lao's caution, after seeing the conversation between Ling Ying and Gu Xun'er, he probably guessed their identities. In the original novel, Yao Lao actually knew Xiao Xun'er's identity all along, but did not tell him the truth in order to protect Xiao Yan.
Therefore, Yao Lao probably did not expose himself in front of Ling Ying, but chose to continue to hide and develop steadily.
Gu Fengchen has now decided to take the ring back. Whether he uses the Taotie Seal to absorb it directly or takes advantage of Yao Lao, it is better than leaving it with Ling Ying.
Moreover, many pill recipes and alchemy techniques can definitely be obtained faster by asking directly from Yao Lao.
He had no intention of having any deep master-disciple relationship with Yao Lao, and the other party might not trust him either, so it would be better to just have the simplest and purest monetary transaction.
You can even get it for free without having to trade.
People are wandering around the world, either you are having sex for nothing, or I am having sex for nothing.
He had already prepared the "Guide to Developing Yao Lao in Dou Qi Continent" and was just waiting to start developing it as soon as Yao Lao arrived!
There is nothing wrong with what Gu Fengchen said, from motivation to logic.
The black ring was the engagement token from the Nalan family to the Xiao family, and Gu Fengchen happened to be accompanying Nalan Yanran from the Nalan family to cancel the engagement. Moreover, after studying it for a long time, Ling Ying felt that it was just an ordinary ring, so this explanation seemed reasonable no matter how one looked at it.
Ling Ying thought for a moment and nodded, "I did get a black ring from the kid from the Xiao family. Here, since it's a token of the Nalan family, I'll give it to you."
When the cold ring fell into his hand, Gu Fengchen breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he was not afraid of anything else, but he was afraid that Yao Lao would suddenly make trouble and expose what he had just said, which would be really embarrassing.
I just don’t know if Yao Lao is still in a deep sleep.
If this old guy dared to absorb his fighting spirit, he would not mind using the Taotie Seal to absorb it directly!!!
A caravan of dozens of people was traveling on the official road. In front were several horse-drawn carriages pulling goods, and behind were a group of strong men holding machetes in their hands.
The caravan was the Wanyaozhai guard team, led by a middle-aged man named Kagan, who was a newly recruited mercenary by Wanyaozhai, or in other words, he came to join them on his own initiative.
Today they also helped the herb-collecting team go up the mountain to collect herbs. The only difference was that Xiao Yixian did not go out in person.
Kagang's daughter Ling'er has a delicate appearance, a slim figure, bright almond eyes, and her eyes are full of smiles when she looks at people.
Although there is a hint of immaturity between her brows, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that this girl is a very beautiful girl.
When she matures, I am afraid that many men will fall at her feet.
This group of mercenaries was assembled temporarily, and they were not united in purpose. Many of them glanced at Ling'er with fiery eyes.
A mercenary was drooling at Ling'er's back. Her skirt was clinging to her body, and the tight outline of her hips attracted the mercenary's attention.
The mercenary walked up to her and said with a grin, "Beauty, play with me tonight and I'll give you 1000 gold coins. How about that?"
Ling'er didn't say anything. Kagang on the side shouted coldly: "Do you still want to do it? If not, get out!"
The atmosphere suddenly became cold, the mercenary chuckled twice, turned around and left.
But at this moment, Kagan suddenly frowned and made a gesture.
Clang. The sound of blades being unsheathed was uniform. These well-trained mercenaries drew their swords at the same time, and even Ling'er was no exception.
However, Kagan did not take action immediately. Everyone in the underworld is looking for money, and unless there is a huge gap in strength between the two sides, they will not fight to the death.
Moreover, Wanyaozhai's reputation is quite famous, and no one near Qingshan Town dares to ambush and kill them.
The next moment, more than 30 people jumped out from the dense forest on both sides of the path. They held snow-white long swords in their hands, their muscles were strong and their aura was exposed. They were all fighters. Kagang pressed his hand to the mercenary behind him, and said with a bow: "I am Kagang, a mercenary from Wanyaozhai in Qingshan Town. What kind of business are you doing, friends?"
“Mercenaries from Wanyaozhai? We are killing the mercenaries from Wanyaozhai, hahahaha.”
"who are you?"
"My name is Mu Gu, I am Mu She's cousin. If you, Wan Yao Zhai, dare to attack them, you should be prepared for today. You guessed it right, I am coming for you, do it!"
Under the coachman's surprised gaze, Gu Fengchen laughed and said, "I got a big one. Sorry, sorry. I'll give you these gold coins. Use them to drink some wine and listen to music in the brothels."
The coachman's brows, which had been furrowed in displeasure due to waiting for too long, immediately relaxed and he continued to pull the carriage happily.
The official road is long and winding to the horizon, with black soil fields on both sides and rolling hills in the distance.
The clatter of horse hooves was mixed with the rumbling of wheels.
"Little brother, you are so handsome, but you are not married yet?"
"Oh, I haven't met the right person yet." Gu Fengchen said casually.
"If I had a face like yours, I would definitely go back and forth to the Jiaofangsi every day. Those courtesans recognize this face the most." The coachman sighed as he drove.
"Is there any difference between the oiran and other women in brothels?" Gu Fengchen asked casually.
"Of course there is a difference. How can it be the same?"
"Everything looks the same when the lights are off."
The coachman said no more.
However, at this moment, Gu Fengchen's nose moved and he smelled a strong smell of blood. He frowned and asked the coachman beside him to stop the car.
The coachman was a little helpless. You keep stopping and starting, and now it takes more than a day to finish the journey that used to take half a day.
"Give you more money."
After saying this, Gu Fengchen quickly sneaked into the dense forest, and the wind brought a strong smell of blood.
The moment they entered the dense forest, arrows shot from both sides. Gu Fengchen snorted coldly and waved his sleeves. The rain of arrows hit the invisible wall of air and fell down powerlessly.
It was at this moment that Gu Fengchen saw the situation clearly.
It seems like two groups of mercenaries had a conflict for some unknown reason.
Gu Fengchen thought about it and decided not to intervene. There were many grudges in the world, and he didn't want to be involved in too many things.
Although there is a girl who seems quite pretty, is he, Gu Fengchen, that kind of person?
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the beautiful girl suddenly said, "My friend, we are from Wanyaozhai. We are begging you to help us. This matter is of great importance. Please have mercy on us."
Kagan, who was standing by, was covered in blood. He sighed and said, "Well, just admit your defeat. No one else will interfere in this matter."
Gu Fengchen, who was about to turn around and leave, paused, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you from Wanyaozhai?"
"Yes." Ling'er nodded vigorously.
"Do you know Little Doctor Fairy?"
