Seeing this situation, Elder Wuzhu, who was inspecting the barrier inside, did not dare to be negligent and hurried out.
At first glance, he saw familiar faces, the Seventh Prince and the Ninth Princess. He was sowhat surprised—when did these royal visitors arrive?
Then he turned his gaze towards the distant ship that had just landed.
Looking at the fluttering flag above, he felt a sense of familiarity. After a closer look, Elder Wuzhu’s heart stirred.
This seed to be the emblem of the famous Wanxiang Auction House from Lingyun Mansion.
Just as Elder Wuzhu was full of doubts, a plump figure swiftly leaped down from the ship, moving with surprising agility.
Behind him, a butler-like old man followed closely, his steps steady, exuding an indescribable aura.
Zhang Wanbao, with a face full of excitent, first glanced indifferently at White Crane and the others from a distance, then directed his gaze towards Elder Wuzhu, and imdiately bowed respectfully.
"May I ask, is this the Taiqing Sect?" Zhang Wanbao asked in a clear and loud voice.
At this mont, Elder Wuzhu stared intently at the butler-like old man, his heart trembling. Although the other party did not release any fluctuations of cultivation, he seed to be surrounded by an indescribable aura.
The feeling was akin to facing a dragon that appeared to be asleep but could erupt at any mont, causing great fear.
Elder Wuzhu dared not be careless. He quickly and secretly sent a ssage to the Sect Leader, then composed himself and responded, "Yes, may I ask who you are?"
"Oh, we co from Lingyun Mansion, passing by to visit my two brothers. One is nad Zhou Qing and the other is Yan Xiaohu. Is this where they are?"
Zhang Wanbao spoke quickly, his words full of urgency and anticipation.
Upon hearing they were looking for the two core disciples of Little Spirit Peak, Elder Wuzhu’s highly tense heart finally relaxed a bit.
After all, the world had been quite chaotic recently. Upon hearing news of the Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown, powerful figures from various places couldn’t contain themselves and appeared one after another, causing great unease among various factions.
"They are here!" Elder Wuzhu responded truthfully.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wanbao’s face imdiately lit up with joy. He had been worried about going to the wrong place.
"They have arrived!" Fu Kui whispered.
Zhang Wanbao slightly raised his head, his gaze fleetingly looking at the sky. His heart surged with excitent, but he forced himself to remain calm, and said quietly, "Master Fu, do you think Zhou’s advice on the strategy of feigned retreat has worked?"
Fu Kui couldn’t help but smile wryly at these words and responded, "This strategy is indeed effective. Look, doesn’t Miss Cancan often co to see you intentionally or unintentionally now? Just be careful not to be too distant. Precision in this matter is crucial."
"But I can’t just rush to her every ti she cos to , right? With her sharp wit, she’ll surely see through it." Zhang Wanbao frowned and said.
Fu Kui shook his head helplessly and said no more.
At this mont, Zhang Wanbao stepped forward, bowed, and said loudly, "Could you please inform them that Zhang Wanbao from Wanxiang Auction House has co to visit?"
Before Elder Wuzhu could respond, a hearty laugh echoed around, and then, the figure of Sect Leader Cao Zhengyang slowly appeared, walking towards them.
"I never expected Mr. Zhang from Wanxiang Auction House and Elder Fu to honor us with their presence. My apologies for not welcoming you from afar!"
Cao Zhengyang, his face full of smiles, clasped his hands and bowed, his words full of humility and courtesy.
