Chapter Six Hundred and Seventeen – Little Landlord

Great Peace Palace

Shi Yue Yi’s expression was stern . It was very rare to see such an expression on the normally gentle city master . The atmosphere inside the hall was tense .

“I know that many people have come to the city for the Great Peace Treasure Pavilion and I do not care in whose hands it ends up . My teacher once said that everything is up to fate . However, I never thought that even the sword xiu of Kun Lun would infiltrate into Great Peace City . This is a shock to me . ”

Shi Yue Yi’s voice echoed in the large hall . Everyone had focused expressions and many showed expressions of shock . Shi Yue Yi was Shi Zi Ming’s student and technically the successor of Great Peace Treasure Pavilion . So, it was a shock to many to hear him be so indifferent about it .

“Great Peace Treasure Pavilion holds the product of my teacher’s life long labor . I believe that no one can accept it ending up in the hands of xiuzhe . I have invited everyone here today to discuss how to eliminate these xiuzhe that have sneaked into Great Peace City . Here, I have to tell everyone that it isn’t just Kun Lun that has come into Great Peace City, but all four great sects!”

When the words came out, there was a furor . Everyone had shocked expressions .

“Great Peace City, it is us mo’s Great Peace City! Great Peace Treasure Pavilion, it is us mo’s Great Peace Treasure Pavilion!”

Shi Yue Yi’s words were like steel .

The people agreed and the crowd was furious .

The decision was quickly made that the large factions would eliminate the xiuzhe led by Kun Lun and the one in command would be Princess Xia .

Shi Yue Yi had recommended her and she received support from everyone else . Princess Xia was intelligent and cunning . She herself also represented the Anwei Family, and was the most suitable commander .

An unprecedented mission quietly started .

———

They still hadn’t received any news about A Wen and the others . This made Zuo Mo very restless .

“Daren, Qi Diao Yu asks for a meeting!” a subordinate reported .

Zuo Mo stilled . Qi Diao Yu? This guy had come to visit him?

He turned to look at Ceng Lian’er . Ceng Lian’er shook her head . “I don’t know . ”

He thought and then said, “Invite him in . ”

Taking this opportunity, Zuo Mo asked Pu Yao in the sea of consciousness, “Pu, what is this guy coming for?”

“Possibly for an alliance,” Pu Yao said gravely . “No matter what, you do not need to worry . ”

Zuo Mo thought and found that the words were right . Even if Qi Diao Yu wanted to use force, Zuo Mo could completely suppress him while in this compound . With A Gui and Ceng Lian’er, the two assistants present, adding on himself, there were three people . Zuo Mo did not believe they could not defeat Qi Diao Yu .

He glanced at Wei . Ever since Wei saw the gravestone armor last time, he had sunk into silence . Zuo Mo speculated that Wei was thinking of past events . Or maybe he felt something after encountering one of his kind?

Zuo Mo did not know how to comfort Wei .

There was something that Pu Yao was right about . He really didn’t have any interest in the gravestone armor . Even though he wasn’t clear about what restraints the gravestone armor would place on him, but he was sure that there would be many restraints .

He disliked being restricted .

He quickly saw Qi Diao Yu . It had to be said that Qi Diao Yu had a very good appearance . With his snowy white robes and extraordinary beauty, his presence was stunning .

“Brother Qi hasn’t changed at all!” Zuo Mo insincerely gave a greeting .

“I want to make a deal . ” Qi Diao Yu did not waste a word and headed for the topic .

“What deal?” Zuo Mo also didn’t mince words and asked straight out .

Qi Diao Yu looked at Zuo Mo with star-like eyes . He said briskly, “I will help you, and you will give me a copy of the stele inside the treasure pavilion . ”

Now Zuo Mo was slightly surprised . He looked at the other and asked amusedly, “How do you know that I can enter the Great Peace Treasure Pavilion . ”

“It is not that you can, but you are the one most likely to,” Qi Diao Yu explained .

Zuo Mo understood a bit . He smiled and said, “Then what can you help me with?”

“I can protect your life,” Qi Diao Yu said .

Zuo Mo stared at Qi Diao Yu for a moment and then roared with laughter . “Are you joking? Protect me? Can you beat her?” He pointed at Ceng Lian’er who was idly drinking tea by the side . Ceng Lian’er focused on her tea and didn’t even blink as though there was only empty air in front of her .

Qi Diao Yu glanced at Ceng Lian’er . “We are evenly matched . ”

Zuo Mo then pointed at A Gui . “Her?”

A Gui was also unaffected . At the side, the black gold seal soldier, that glutton, lazily opened his eyes, examined Qi Diao Yu and then closed his eyes with a relaxed expression .

Qi Diao Yu’s gaze swept the black gold seal soldier . His eyelids flickered . “We will be evenly matched . ”

“That’s it, if you were very powerful, it would be fine if you make such a deal with me . But you don’t even have the confidence to beat either of them . Even if I wanted to do business with you, I won’t be able to get a good price . ” Zuo Mo said with an expression of regret . “I already have two experts . If one more is added, it can increase my strength, but won’t bring me up another level . Also, it is very hard for me to trust you . You are asking for too much, but giving too little . I, Xiao Mo Ge, won’t do such unprofitable business . ”

“I have information . ” Qi Diao Yu forced himself to remain calm .

Zuo Mo spread his hands . “But you are not the only one with that information, while I am the only one . ”

Zuo Mo said the last phrase meaningfully . Originally, he had wanted to take leave of the brewing storm as quickly as possible . He hadn’t expected A Wen and the others to disappear and force him to stay in this storm . Ever since he understood he became a key to entering the Great Peace Treasure Pavilion, he perceptively recognized the business potential here .

What kind of business was the easiest to profit from? Of course it was the business where you had a monopoly!

Zuo Mo did not have any ambitions about the Great Peace Treasure Pavilion . He knew that with so many eyes on them, whoever got the treasures would not be able to live .

But he could take the chance to get rich . For those families, they wouldn’t have any trouble paying a price to gain some advantages in this fight .

So Zuo Mo unhesitatingly refused Qi Diao Yu’s initial offer .

What kind of joke was this!

If his first transaction was so cheap, then the next customers definitely wouldn’t give higher offers .

Zuo Mo seemed to have an instinctive obsession towards the pursuit of profit .

Qi Diao Yu was silent . The reason he had come to find Zuo Mo today was that he detected this fight was becoming more cruel . He was just one person and couldn’t affect the overall situation, so he thought of finding Zuo Mo to work together . He hadn’t thought that Zuo Mo was more clever than he expected .

There was a gentle and harmless smile on Zuo Mo’s face . “When you have a suitable offer, you can come find me . ”

Qi Diao Yu glanced at Zuo Mo and left without a word .

Zuo Mo smiled as he watched Qi Diao Yu leave .

He knew that the news that Qi Diao Yu came here would spread over Great Peace City very soon .

By that time, there would be even more customers .

He really anticipated it .

———

Zuo Mo looked at the beautiful Princess Xia in front of him and grimaced . “How come it is you?”

“Why can’t it be me?” Princess Xia rolled her eyes . The unconscious flirtatious look would cause people’s hearts to speed up .

As Zuo Mo resisted the illusory art, he continued to grimace and said, “I was waiting for the others to come … … and bleed them for a lot . ”

Ha, Princess Xia laughed so hard her shoulders curled . Her finger pointed at Zuo Mo . “You are so bad … … so bad!”

Zuo Mo said with a serious expression . “This is such a good chance . If I miss it, the heavens will strike me with lightning!”

Princess Xia laughed so much her hair dislodged from her hairdo . She panted slightly which added a hint of mature seductiveness . She brushed the hair that had fallen down on her forehead and said with a smile, “Don’t you have any ideas about the Great Peace Treasure Pavilion?”

“That is a matter for the big landlords to play with, I can’t afford to play . ” Zuo Mo said with a matter-of-fact expression . “It is not worth it to lose my little life over that . ”

A strange look flashed through Princess Xia’s eyes . “You see it clearly . ”

Zuo Mo said smugly, “Of course . It would be unprofitable if I don’t take the chance to make some more . ” But then his expression dropped . “But since you came, I cannot do that . I owe you a favor from last time, I can’t do that to you . ”

Princess Xia smiled mischievously . “I can’t bear to use the favor for something like this . ” Then she copied Zuo Mo’s tone . “It would be unprofitable!”

Zuo Mo laughed .

“Why did you recommend me?” Princess Xia suddenly asked something completely unrelated .

“Recommend you?” Zuo Mo stilled .

“Don’t play dumb,” Princess Xia said, “City Master told me that you recommended me to him . ”

“Oh, that!” Zuo Mo realized . “Because you are very strong!”

He added inside: especially in illusory arts … …

“Strong?” Princess Xia smiled . “In your mind, I am such a schemer?”

Zuo Mo scratched . “I just felt that you are relatively smart . ” Then he couldn’t help say, “You definitely have to take those Kun Lun people down, don’t let them escape . ”

“With your personality, you wouldn’t chase after them like this . It seems that they have offended you greatly, there definitely is something else . ” Princess Xia looked smilingly at Zuo Mo .

Zuo Mo’s heart shook . This woman was too smart . He had to be careful!

He could only play dumb .

The two talked about various topics . Princess Xia had extraordinary knowledge . Other than the illusory arts that were automatically cast which made it difficult, it was very pleasurable to talk with her .

However, Zuo Mo didn’t dare to drink this time .

“The Anwei Family is very interested in you . ” Finishing, she took out a mo weapon and placed it in front of Zuo Mo .

This mo weapon was a short dagger-axe . It was completely red and at the horizontal blade, there was a black eye . It caused the entire weapon to seem eerie .

“This Crow Eye Dagger-Axe was forged from the beak of a black fire crow mo through hundreds of years of refining . It is very powerful and a top notch mo weapon . Your mo skill is fire-type and this is suitable for you . How about it, are you satisfied?”

Zuo Mo picked up the Crow Eye Dagger-axe . Immediately, a vicious and vast presence passed from the dagger-axe to his hand . He couldn’t help but exclaim, “A good mo weapon!”

“This is a meeting gift from the Anwei Family, you do not need to return it . ” Princess Xia blinked her eyes at Zuo Mo and giggled . “With it as a good starting point, don’t be kind when you bargain . ”

Finishing, she waved at Zuo Mo and left .

Zuo Mo was speechless .

Translator Ramblings: Monopoly … … Zuo Mo can set whatever price he wants .
