Chapter 531 - Meeting Third Lady Xie Again

Yu Cheng arrived very quickly. Originally, he thought that he could resolve the Yu Family’s affairs after growing up under Gongyi Tianheng’s protection. However, he didn’t expect that his half-brother would be so stupid and crazy that he would pay to have people murdered. Furthermore, this hindered the first mission Tianheng assigned him, which made him feel furious and apprehensive in his heart — Currently, Tianheng was going to the Yu Family to ask for an explanation. It was only natural that he was willing to follow him and cooperate as much as possible.

After reaching the mountain peak, Yu Cheng discovered that Pharmacist Gu, who had been looking at him with a good temperament, now had a facial expression as deep as water. This made Yu Cheng feel a slight pressure.

On the contrary, Tianheng’s expression was the same as usual. He opened his mouth and said: “Accompany me while I get things done. For this trip to the Yu Family, I will use your name to carry out a punitive subjugation.”

Of course, Yu Cheng knew that it wasn’t because of himself. Rather, it was because of the two people he was watching over. He only existed as a shield to prevent those two people from entering the public eye.

However, he was perfectly happy to serve as a shield: “Yes, young master.”

Tianheng was slightly satisfied: “This trip will definitely cause damage to the Yu Family. Your father will be among them. Do you feel it unbearable in your heart because of this?”

Yu Cheng’s gaze sharpened. He spoke resolutely and decisively: “When he caused my mother’s death, and indulged those cheap whores and bastards into pushing me around, this subordinate had long stopped regarding him as this one’s father. Instead, he’s an enemy! If I can take revenge for my mother, this subordinate wouldn’t hesitate to kill his father, severing the blood relationship between him and I. If this can be achieved, even if punishment descends from the heavens, I won’t regret it at all!”

Tianheng nodded his head: “In that case, wait until I give orders to the battle slaves and take you with me.”

Yu Cheng lowered his voice: “As you command, young master.”

After that, Yu Cheng stayed on the side for the time being.

At this moment, Gu Zuo’s figure flashed with a black light. A full-body, pitch-black cloak shrouded his form.

Seeing this, Yu Cheng was slightly puzzled.

Gu Zuo spoke to Tianheng: “Big brother, I’m going to the Dark Tower.”

Tianheng’s expression softened: “Be absolutely careful when you go.”

Gu Zuo nodded: “Big brother, rest assured. I’ll have Ao Hui accompany me.”

That’s right. This time around, Gu Zuo and Tianheng would be acting separately.

Tianheng proceeded to the Yu Family to ask for an explanation. Meanwhile, Gu Zuo went to the Dark Tower to inquire about methods of contacting the Ghost Division for negotiations. If they acted together, the efficiency would be reduced greatly. No matter which side they went to first, they would worry that unexpected situations might occur.

As for Ao Hui, he was a new Celestial Realm mastiff race battle slave. He had been assigned to Gu Zuo to protect him. In addition, there was another Celestial Realm by Tianheng’s side.

After bidding farewell, Gu Zuo put on the cloak’s hood. Passing down familiar roads, he arrived in front of Ten Ultimates City’s Dark Tower.

This appearance of his was quite a common sight. There were many people coming and going in the Dark Tower every day, so no one paid attention to him.

But today, it was somewhat different.

After Gu Zuo came to a manager, he spoke to him directly: “I want to see Third Lady Xie. Is she not here?”

That manager was taken aback.

The service attitude of the Dark Tower had always been very good. If one came looking for a person and could give a name, they wouldn’t neglect anything and would certainly have that person show up.

Merely…

The manager somewhat hesitatingly said: “Manager Xie has already been promoted to second-class manager, and she’s overseeing things inside the tower. She isn’t here like the rest of us…”

Gu Zuo said: “Then, pass this message along.” He pondered for a moment, and continued, “Say that Pill Slaughterer Profound Shadow wants to see her.”

The manager was startled.

The amount of information that passed through the hands of the Dark Tower Managers every day couldn’t be counted, and their knowledge reserves were also extraordinary. They had memorized what kind of person Pill Slaughterer Profound Shadow was and what his past accomplishments were long ago. Hearing this now, he immediately connected the dots in his mind.

Right away, this manager recalled that, when Pill Slaughterer Profound Shadow first arrived, he was served by Third Lady Xie. As for Third Lady Xie, it was because she earned a big score through Pill Slaughterer Profound Shadow, brought a lot of top-notch medicinal pills for the Dark Tower, and established a relationship with such a talented pharmacist in advance that she was able to advance one step further. Her manager rank was directly promoted.

This manager couldn’t help but look at Gu Zuo with some concentration.

As it turned out, this personage was Pill Slaughterer Profound Shadow… Under the prestige of their Dark Tower, no one would have the audacity to pretend to be him.

After that, the manager didn’t dare to neglect anything, and promptly said: “Manager Xie had left word. So long as thou comes here, simply go upstairs straightaway. There’s no need to pass along a message.”

After speaking, he hastily extended a guiding hand, and led Gu Zuo to the entrance of the stairwell, which went to the second floor.

Before long, Gu Zuo followed the manager into a side hall. Someone was already offering fragrant tea and light refreshments. The hospitality was top quality.

Immediately following which, there were the sounds of hurried footsteps. At the same time, a beautiful and sensual woman walked in. She called out to Gu Zuo in greetings: “So it’s Great Master Pill Slaughterer Profound Shadow. This one has arrived late. Please don’t take offense!”

This was precisely Third Lady Xie.

The current Third Lady Xie had a pleasant smile that radiated with happiness. Not only because of the great achievements in her career, but also because she was in contact with this talented pharmacist again. Her joyful mood couldn’t be put into words.

Naturally, just as one doesn’t visit a temple without a cause, so too did she know that this pharmacist didn’t come to her doorstep without a reason. In her heart, she was determined to do whatever he instructed her to do.

Gu Zuo nodded his head to Third Lady Xie: “Manager Xie, I have something to ask of you.”

Third Lady Xie spoke with a warm and soft tone: “Great master, please go on.”

Gu Zuo said: “I want a way to contact the Ghost Division.”

Hearing what was said, Third Lady Xie was slightly startled.

With…the Ghost Division?

The Ghost Division specialized in murder. Could it be that this personage wanted to entrust a mission? No, that wasn’t right. If he was entrusting the Ghost Division with a mission, there was no need to go through the Dark Tower. Moreover, so long as this personage used a few medicinal pills as rewards, was there any worry that no one would help? Nowadays, it wasn’t known how many people were thinking about this generous pharmacist!

These thoughts turning in her mind, but Third Lady Xie’s face remained unaffected. She quickly said: “If this great master doesn’t mind, why don’t you tell me what matter has you searching for the Ghost Division? This one will certainly accomplish whatever this great master requires.”

Gu Zuo knew that the Dark Tower had probably figured out his true identity a long time ago. This matter wasn’t something that needed to be concealed, so he simply said: “Resolving a grudge and rescinding a mission.”

Third Lady Xie was stunned: “Could it be that this great master has been targeted by the Ghost Division?”

Gu Zuo shook his head: “It’s not me, but the people related to me.”

Third Lady Xie tactfully stopped asking any more questions. Instead, she said: “I wonder if this great master wants my Dark Tower to step forward and intervene, or if you want to personally meet with the Ghost Division?”

Gu Zuo paused: “What do you mean?”

Third Lady Xie responded: “My Dark Tower also has some cooperative relations with the Ghost Division and is acquainted with many existence within it. If this great master isn’t willing to meet the Ghost Division in person, this one can represent the Dark Tower and the great master, and go negotiate with the Ghost Division. And if this great master wants to resolve things personally, this one can also find a way to invite people from the Ghost Division who have relevant authority.”

Gu Zuo understood in a flash.

He pondered for a moment, and said: “I’ll have to ask Manager Xie to negotiate on my behalf. The required price can be calculated by Manager Xie first, and I will naturally pay the deposit.”

Third Lady Xie was hardly surprised.

Indeed, many people didn’t like to come into direct contact with the Ghost Division. Instead, their Dark Tower would pull the strings and mediate things from within. It was only natural that they would obtain the corresponding remunerations.

After some thought, she said: “It’s my Dark Tower’s honor to help this great master. There’s no need for a commission. It’s merely what the Ghost Division will ask for, just…”

When Gu Zuo heard this, he understood that Third Lady Xie wanted to further develop a relationship with him, and thus their offer to help out, free of charge. Though, the Dark Tower really was useful. He didn’t mind using it more often to deepen friendly relations. That was a good thing.

He didn’t refuse, and only said: “I would like to ask Manager Xie to directly pass onto me the Ghost Divisions requirements.”

Third Lady Xie smiled sweetly: “In that case, I will have to ask this great master to wait for this one’s good news.”

Shortly thereafter, Gu Zuo tossed over a bottle: “Then, I won’t bother Manager Xie. I hope Manager Xie doesn’t shun this trifling intention. Good bye.”

After that, under Third Lady Xie’s escort, Gu Zuo left the Dark Tower.

Third Lady Xie watched as Gu Zuo walked away. Then, she opened the jade bottle in her hand, and looked inside.

Within this jade bottle was a flawless pill that was perfectly round, pure, and limpid. Its function was for breaking through Third Lady Xie’s current realm, which made it an absolute gem of a medicinal pill.

Third Lady Xie lightly sighed: “Pill Slaughterer Profound Shadow… Pharmacist Gu, Great Master Gu. Ah, he’s still as generous as ever.”

After sighing for a while, she put the medicinal pill away, pulled herself together, and went to find a way to contact the Ghost Division. Her work mentality also became even more enthusiastic.

On the other side of things, Gu Zuo returned to Ten Ultimates Sect.

At this time, his big brother, Gongyi Tianheng, was no longer here.

The Yu Household.

The current generation’s head of the family, Yu Qing, was standing in the study. He abruptly felt anxious and uneasy.

As an Atomic Realm martial artist, his mental state was normally smooth and steady. But now, his heart’s blood was like a rising tide as he was prompted by a sudden impulse. He felt that something was about to happen.

Right away, Yu Qing furrowed his pair of bushy eyebrows. He couldn’t help speaking to the other person in the study: “Wife, where is Ze’er at this moment?”

The other person in the study was a woman with a sweet and charming complexion. Currently, she was unhurriedly grasping a peach blossom. While inserting the flower into the hair at her temples, she said: “Ze’er is always working hard. Right now, he’s probably training at the martial arts practice field.”

Yu Qing still felt some fear and trepidation in the face of disaster: “…Then, send someone to call him over so that his father can test him.”
