Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 298: Delicacy House
When Gu Xiaoxing walked out of the gate of the Zhu family compound, there was an extra pendant on his body. Who else could it be but Xiao Zhuhuo?
A large group of people came out to see him off, and the leader was a middle-aged man with a solemn face. He glared at Xiao Zhuhuo and said, "Zhuhuo, why don't you get off the lonely master? How can this be disgraceful?"
However, Xiao Zhuhuo didn't listen at all. With red eyes, she just clung to her uncle tightly.
Gu Xiaoxing waved his hand at the middle-aged man and said, "Brother Zhu, it's okay. I will go back to the sect later, and she can go back with me."
The corners of the middle-aged man's mouth twitched. He was none other than Xiao Zhuhuo's father, Zhu Yan.
Logically speaking, Gu Xiaoxing is Xiao Zhuhuo's uncle, and there is nothing wrong with him calling Zhu Yan "Brother Zhu" since they are of the same generation.
But Zhu Yan felt uncomfortable no matter how he heard it. He had recently noticed that something was wrong with Xiao Zhuhuo, and now seeing his daughter acting like this in front of Gu Xiaoxing, how could he not know what was going on.
I treat you as a brother, but you want to kidnap my daughter?
But Zhu Yan was still powerless to stop him, so he bowed deeply and said, "Then I will entrust my daughter to you, Master Gu!"
Gu Xiaoxing was startled, and heard another layer of Zhu Yan's meaning. He thought to himself that this old man was very sensible. He patted his shoulder, coughed dryly, and said, "Brother Zhu , don't worry. With me here, no one can bully Zhu Huo. In addition, if your Zhu family encounters any difficulties in Gucheng, you can also report to the Soul Devouring Sect."
"Thank you, Sect Master!"
Zhu Yan bowed and expressed his gratitude. With Gu Xiaoxing's words, it was enough for their Zhu family to gain a firm foothold in Gucheng.
And Xiao Zhuhuo was still clinging to her uncle like an octopus, not noticing at all that her father had already sold her out.
"Go back, no need to see me off." Gu Xiaoxing waved his hand again, then turned and left.
On a busy street, passers-by looked at Gu Xiaoxing and his partner strangely, which made Gu Xiaoxing speechless. He said, "We've been holding each other for so long, it's time to let go!"
Xiao Zhuhuo seemed to have noticed that there were too many strange looks around her, and she had gradually calmed down, so she got off Gu Xiaoxing reluctantly, but she was still unwilling to let go of the hand that was holding hers.
The two continued walking on the street. Because the people here did not attend the opening ceremony of the city, even though Gu Xiaoxing was the leader of the Soul-Devouring Sect and had a great reputation, not many people knew him here.
"Come to think of it, I also used to go shopping with ." Gu Xiaoxing sighed. He had always regarded Lu Ling'er as his own sister, and for a moment he missed that girl a little.
However, Gu Xiaoxing was not too worried. With Ling'er's mischievous personality, she would not suffer any loss wherever she went. On the contrary, perhaps the one who was having a headache at the moment should be Mo Xuyou.
"Master?" Curiosity flashed in Xiao Zhuhuo's eyes. This cheap master of hers was kidnapped just after she became his disciple, so she didn't know much.
Gu Xiaoxing nodded, then waved his hand and said, "Come on, Xiao Zhuhuo, Uncle Master will take you to a feast!"
Gu Xiaoxing brought a small candle and soon returned to the first ring area of Gucheng, because here was the most luxurious restaurant in the whole Gucheng. The dishes cooked there were all rare treasures, including some spiritual meat of foundation-building monsters, and some extremely delicious spiritual food treasures that could even improve one's cultivation!
The plaque of this restaurant is engraved with three large characters "Zhenxiulou", and in a corner of the plaque are two small characters "Soul Devouring". In this isolated city, anything marked with the words "Soul Devouring" means that it is the property of the Soul Devouring Sect.
This is the case with Zhenxiulou. Its owner, Gu Xiaoxing, is familiar to him. He is the Fatty who used to work in the inner kitchen!
Gu Xiaoxing walked into the Zhenxiu Pavilion and was about to ask Dapang to serve him a table of delicious dishes, but he found that the Zhenxiu Pavilion was in a state of noise.
"Boy, after eating such a large table of food from my Treasure Pavilion, you want to leave just by throwing a broken stone?"
"That's right. You want to eat a free meal? Why don't you look at where you are? Did you see the sign outside? This is the restaurant of the Soul Devouring Sect!"
"If you know what's good for you, give us the spirit stones quickly. Not a cent less. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!"
At this moment, several guests in the Treasure Pavilion were startled and moved aside. In the middle of the table, which was full of empty plates, there were several fat men gathered around and were threatening a middle-aged man with long blond hair at the table.
Gu Xiaoxing was also very curious that someone actually dared to come here to eat and dine for free. Xiao Zhuhuo was even more angry. This was the Soul-Devouring Sect's restaurant, and the Soul-Devouring Sect belonged to his uncle. Wasn't this bullying his uncle?
How could Xiao Zhuhuo bear it? She took a step forward and was about to join the group of fat guys, but her body tilted and was pulled back by her uncle-master. Moreover, she keenly noticed that her uncle-master... was shaking!
This immediately startled Xiao Zhuhuo, and he realized something was wrong, so he didn't dare to say anything more and stood obediently beside his uncle.
"You... are you doing?" Gu Xiaoxing almost trembled. He had to tremble because he discovered that the middle-aged man with long golden hair actually possessed the cultivation level of Nascent Soul!
Moreover, it is not the early stage of Nascent Soul, nor the middle stage, nor the late stage of Nascent Soul, but... the great perfection of Nascent Soul!
If this person gets angry, even if he sneezes, the entire isolated city will be gone!
"metropolitan……!"
The fat men were overjoyed when they saw Gu Xiaoxing, especially the big fat man, who came quickly with a big belly. He bowed first and then said, "Master, you came at the right time. How dare someone come to my Soul Devouring Sect to eat a free meal? You just threw a broken stone like this to get rid of the beggar!?"
"But don't worry, Sect Master. I'm here to make sure he can't run away. If he can't afford the meal, I'll make him vomit even if he has to!"
The other fat guys also came over and shouted to show their loyalty.
The other guests looked at the gray-haired young man with curiosity. Is this the leader of the Soul-Devouring Sect?
It’s a little different from what I imagined !
The blond middle-aged man 's expression had not changed at all, even when he was facing the threats from many fat men before. But at this moment, when he looked at Gu Xiaoxing, he frowned.
Gu Xiaoxing had already set his eyes on the black stone in Dapang's hand. He was very familiar with this stone. The corner of his mouth twitched and he couldn't help it. He jumped up in anger and gave Dapang a big slap on the head.
There was a loud "bang" and everyone in the audience was stunned.
"Master?" The other fat guys were a little confused.
Gu Xiaoxing was dragged over and beaten together, punching and kicking him, cursing at him as he beat him!
"Do you know this broken stone? It's called Xiantian Wujin..."
"Do you know that this palm-sized piece is worth at least one thousand high-grade spirit stones...!"
"You don't have any common sense and yet you dare to imitate others to do business. You are almost bringing shame to our Soul Devouring Sect. And you are even charging us for a free meal. Is this how you treat your guests...?!"
Little Candle Fire stared blankly at his furious uncle with a dazed look in his eyes.
"The uncle who beats people is also very handsome!"
Such a thought emerged in her mind. Obviously, there was no hope.
