Si Lei Zhenjun

After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Chu Xing first took Wan Shankong to the Yuhuang Tower.

I asked the poster about Li Qinghe's whereabouts, but was told that Li Qinghe had not been here since he left that day.

Afterwards, Chu Xing did not continue searching with Wan Shankong, but planned to ask acquaintances in the city for help in finding out some information.

Because Caiyun Pavilion is relatively close to Yuhuang Tower, Chu Xing came straight here.

In fact, he didn't know many people in the city, only Pei Sanniang from Caiyun Pavilion and Elder Du from Jubao Chamber of Commerce.

However, these two have been operating in the Huntian Immortal City for many years, and I think they have accumulated a lot of connections, so they should be able to help.

"Ah, Mr. Chu!" Behind the counter, Pei Sanniang was wearing a plain white dress, with a graceful and elegant figure, just like a lotus emerging from the water, pure and elegant.

Her hair is lightly tied up, with a few strands falling on her shoulders, adding a touch of softness and gentleness.

A faint smile appeared on Pei Sanniang's face, which was as white as cream and as rosy as a peach. "Sir, you haven't been to my place for a while. This time, please take good care of my business."

Her voice was ethereal and clear, with a barely perceptible hint of coquettishness.

Chu Xing smiled politely, but did not continue the conversation. He shook his head and said:

"I'm not here to buy clothes. I want to ask Madam for help with something."

Hearing this, the enthusiasm on Pei Sanniang's face suddenly faded a lot, but there was still a faint smile on the corner of her mouth:

"Okay, okay. I wonder what it is that Master Chu needs my help with?"

Chu Xing hesitated for a moment and said:

"I would like to ask Madam to use her connections to help find the whereabouts of these two people."

"Oh?" Pei Sanniang frowned slightly, her beautiful eyes moving as she gazed at Chu Xing with a half-smile. She asked leisurely, "Sir, you won't let me help you for nothing, will you?"

Chu Xing said sincerely:

"I won't hide it from you, Madam. One of these two is a disciple of our Third Elder of the Yunxiao Sect, and the other is a disciple of the Zen Buddhist Temple. If you can help find them, I believe our Third Elder will not be stingy, and your reward will naturally be substantial."

Pei Sanniang's beautiful eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam, but she quickly restrained it and put on a delicate and angry look:

"Mr. Chu, this is too formal. You once did me a great favor. Now I am just doing you a small favor by finding two people. Why should I discuss any reward?"

Chu Xing curled his lips, bowed and said:

"Then there's Madam Lao. One of them is called Li Qinghe, and he looks..."

He described Li Qinghe and Pushe's appearance in detail, and then continued:

"If you have any news, please send someone to the City Lord's Mansion to inform me. I am anxious to find someone. I will take my leave now."

"Please do as you wish, sir!" Pei Sanniang nodded slightly.

"Huh?" Chu Xing turned around and was about to leave, but he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a few white stockings hanging on the clothesline beside him, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

At this time, Pei Sanniang laughed out loud, as clear and sweet as a silver bell, and teased:

"Hahaha... Sir, are you interested in these socks? If you like this style, why not buy a few more and take them back as gifts for your beautiful ladies?"

Pei Sanniang walked lightly to the clothes rack, took a pair of socks and came to Chu Xing, smiling and said:

"This is something I brought back from Huanhua City a few days ago. The women there all love to wear this kind of thing. I found it novel, so I bought a batch and put it on sale in my shop. Take a look, my lord. The texture and feel of this thing are truly top-notch."

Chu Xing subconsciously took it in his hand, stroked it, and pulled it.

Soft, silky and elastic.

"Do you like it, sir?" Pei Sanniang looked at him with a smile.

"Ahem... no thanks. It's not right for a man like me to buy socks for a woman."

Chu Xing refused sternly and handed the socks back.

……

Half a minute later, Chu Xing walked out of Caiyun Pavilion, and inexplicably found more than a dozen pairs of socks in his storage bag.

He really didn't want to buy it. He had already said that he had no spirit stones left, but Pei Sanniang forced them on him, saying that it was okay to give them to him next time he came.

Then Chu Xing summoned his flying sword and headed straight for the Jubao Chamber of Commerce.

When he arrived at the door of the Chamber of Commerce, he found that the place where people were queuing to get number plates, which was bustling with people a few days ago, now had only a few people waiting in line.

"Oh, Young Master Chu! I've been waiting for you to come."

As soon as he entered the room, Elder Du strode towards him and shook his hand tightly.

Chu Xing looked at the enthusiastic smile on Elder Du's face, but he felt uneasy in his heart.

Logically speaking, this old man should dislike me because I had just cheated him out of 500,000 spirit stones last time.

You are so attentive today, I'm afraid you have something to ask for again.

"Elder Du, if you have anything to say, please speak directly. We are old acquaintances, so there is really no need to be like this."

Chu Xing gently broke free from Elder Du's hand with a look of disgust on his face, his tone filled with a hint of ridicule and helplessness.

"Haha, then I'll just say it straight."

Elder Du suddenly laughed heartily. His laughter was hearty and bold, as if trying to dispel the awkward atmosphere in the air. "Young Master Chu, I would like to ask you for a small favor."

"What help?" Chu Xing raised his eyebrows.

Elder Du sighed softly, his tone filled with helplessness and indignation:

"Recently, fewer and fewer people have come to our Chamber of Commerce to comprehend the ancient stone tablets. At first, we thought it was because people's novelty about your magical power had worn off."

"But after some inquiries, I learned that several other large chambers of commerce in the city were jealous of our recent booming business, so they spread the word that the ancient stone tablet in our chamber of commerce was fake and could not help people comprehend supernatural powers."

Chu Xing nodded in understanding, looked at him strangely and said:

"So you want me to cooperate with your Chamber of Commerce in putting on a show to prove the authenticity of this ancient photographic stele."

"Haha, Young Master Chu is indeed a smart man. I don't even need to explain everything." Elder Du said with a flattering smile on his face.

"One million spirit stones! Plus you do me a small favor." Chu Xing glanced at him.

Elder Du's expression changed slightly, with a hint of surprise and displeasure flashing in his eyes:

"Young Master Chu, you're asking for too much. The price of your last Shadow Recording ability was only 100,000 Spirit Stones, and this time I'm just asking you to help perform two scenes, which is much easier than that."

Chu Xing rolled his eyes unhappily:

"Let me give you an analogy. You find someone to shoot a movie, and the movie becomes a big hit. You want to find the male lead to shoot a second season. Can you still pay him the original salary?"

"What movie? What season two? What exactly do you mean, young man?" Elder Du was confused.

"The original price doesn't work anymore, we have to pay more!"
