Chapter 932 - 490: Two Scenes on One Street

Once everything was in place, the three went to bed early.

Early the next morning.

Before they even walked out of the inn, they saw several soldiers arrogantly walk in.

"Who’s the boss here?"

One soldier asked.

The innkeeper walked up with a smile on his face, "Sir, I am the owner of this establishment."

"The higher-ups have ordered that the Turquoise Pool Immortal is coming to Sun City to select Source Ores today, and idlers are not allowed to loiter on the streets. Your establishment must close immediately!"

The soldier coldly snapped.

At this moment, Gu Sheng just came downstairs, and upon hearing this, he was stunned.

"Turquoise Pool Immortal?"

Gu Sheng was slightly taken aback.

He didn’t expect the Turquoise Pool Immortal to make such a grand entrance.

Her visit resulted in the closure of the entire Sun City.

While Gu Sheng was in a daze, the innkeeper quickly fetched a few exquisite Source Ores from the counter.

"Sir, I’m just running a small business here, closing down... what do you think..."

The innkeeper said with a smile.

Following this, the soldier handed the Source Ores to his boss, "Boss, look..."

The leading soldier glanced at the ores, seemingly satisfied.

"Fine, keep the shop open, but remember to follow orders, understand?"

The leading soldier said coldly.

"Rest assured, the shop will comply absolutely."

The innkeeper maintained his smiling face.

"Let’s go!"

With that, the leading soldier gave an order, and all his subordinates left with him.

Once they were gone, the innkeeper’s smiling face turned gloomy.

"Damn it! Just know how to extort us common folks! Bah! What nonsense!"

The innkeeper cursed fiercely.

Gu Sheng watched the innkeeper’s shifting expression, becoming privately cautious.

He politely asked, "Boss, the Turquoise Pool Immortal’s arrival is quite the spectacle, why is it such a big deal?"

"Hmph!"

The innkeeper gave Gu Sheng a sideways glance, snorted coldly, then returned to a flattering smile.

"Isn’t it because Yaochi Holy Land holds such a high status, and is rich?"

Saying this, his eyes suddenly turned lecherous, as if recalling something beautiful.

"Let me tell you, the Yaochi Holy Daughter is indeed a beauty beyond compare, beyond us mortals."

After speaking, the innkeeper chuckled slyly.

Seeing him like this, Gu Sheng felt a wave of nausea typical of greasy middle-aged men.

"I understand, thanks for the information."

Though he felt sick, Gu Sheng nodded politely.

"You outsiders better behave, after today, do what you want."

The innkeeper impatiently waved his hand, turning to busy himself with other matters.

Er Gou watched the innkeeper’s departing figure and couldn’t help but tease Gu Sheng, "Brother Sheng, you see, the Yaochi Holy Daughter is so beautiful, how about I find her for you, get the Turquoise Immortal to be your sister-in-law?"

"Uh..."

Gu Sheng looked at Er Gou speechlessly, shaking his head, "What goes through your mind all day? Our priority now is to stay low-key and avoid trouble."

"Exactly, Brother Sheng is right."

Shi Lou agreed, "Our main concern now is safety, not creating any complications."

The three of them exchanged smiles, then began to eat breakfast at the inn.

"We really are fortunate to follow Brother Sheng, getting a chance to cross paths with the Turquoise Pool Immortal."

Er Gou sat at the dining table, winking and nudging.

Gu Sheng could sense the teasing in his words.

Helplessly, Gu Sheng shook his head, knowing Er Gou wasn’t serious, but he was more concerned about Yaochi Holy Land’s movements.

If they too were after the Goblin Source Stone, then there’d be real trouble.

"Enough joking, Er Gou, we need to be careful, the scale of Yaochi Holy Land is probably not just for show."

Gu Sheng cautioned.

"Brother Sheng is right, let’s not act impulsively."

Shi Lou said solemnly.

After breakfast, the three walked out of the inn.

The number of people on the street had noticeably decreased; clearly, Yaochi Holy Land’s arrival caused many to steer clear.

Gu Sheng and the others leisurely strolled along the street, eyes scanning the surroundings occasionally.

If they encountered patrolling soldiers, they’d just take a detour to avoid trouble.

"Look over there."

Er Gou suddenly pointed ahead.

They saw several teams of maids and guards in luxurious clothing busying themselves on the street.

They were making final preparations for the arrival of the Yaochi Holy Daughter.

Colorful lights and silk hung on both sides, decorating the street as if it were a festival.

"Looks like Yaochi Holy Land is really serious this time."

Gu Sheng’s eyes radiated seriousness.

"Brother Sheng, do you think the Yaochi Holy Daughter is as stunning as the legends say?"

Er Gou asked curiously.

Gu Sheng didn’t answer, focusing tightly on the activity ahead.

He understood the Yaochi Holy Daughter’s visit might not be like before.

In a world of the strong preying on the weak, every major power’s action could trigger a series of chain reactions.

"Let’s find somewhere to hide until the Yaochi Holy Daughter’s matters are over."

Shi Lou suggested.

Gu Sheng nodded, and the three quickly turned back.

Soon, they returned to the front of the inn.

Gu Sheng looked up and saw there were more people a few hundred meters away from the inn’s direction.

It was not as strict there as it was where they were, just like two different city scenes.
