Ch 207: Shangguan Wanwan’s Suspicions
Moreover, he couldn’t win an argument with Li Hanzhou, and if they fought, he wouldn’t win either.
Wouldn’t that be self-humiliating?
At this moment, among the many teahouse patrons, several of Rao San’s men had infiltrated. They were all waiting to see Master Huining make a scene, take Li Hanzhou away, and then report back so that Rao San could prepare for the evening’s matter.
Everyone’s gazes were filled with smugness.
With Master Huining taking action, they felt the matter was certain.
“Master Huining, are you thirsty?” Li Hanzhou picked up the small teapot, poured a cup of tea, and then raised the teacup, saying, “Master, would you like some tea? Our Misty Rain Tower’s tea is quite good.”
Looking at the small teacup in Li Hanzhou’s hand, Master Huining’s heart sank.
“Thank you, benefactor. I am not thirsty.”
Master Huining quickly said.
“Just now, Master was saying I insulted the Buddhist Sect?” Li Hanzhou asked with a dumbfounded expression, like an extremely innocent person.
“Master Huining, our Misty Rain Tower truly did not insult the Buddhist Sect,” Shangguan Wanwan also stepped forward and respectfully said, “If you don’t believe it, you can stay and listen, and judge for yourself.”
“Yes, Master.”
Li Hanzhou also quickly said, “I am the most respectful of Buddhism. I would never say anything that insults the Buddhist Sect. From a young age, my mother taught me to be civilized and polite. I have never even cursed anyone.”
Hearing Li Hanzhou’s words, Master Huining almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
You liar!
The image of himself being scolded with a mouthful of saliva was vividly in his mind.
Rao San’s men, however, listened to Li Hanzhou’s quibbling with a sneer in their hearts.
What good is this quibbling?
Master Huining is the one we hired, and he took our money. Today, even if you were to tear the heavens apart, you wouldn’t be able to stay in Tianlong City!
Just wait to die!
“Then I must have misunderstood.”
Master Huining took a deep breath and said, “I apologize for disturbing everyone’s enjoyment. Please continue the storytelling and your tea. I have something to attend to, so I will take my leave.”
After speaking, Master Huining turned and left with many warrior monks.
He left decisively, as if he had made up his mind.
Shangguan Wanwan was stunned.
He just left like that?
Wasn’t he called here by Rao San to cause trouble?
Even if not, it’s a little strange. I heard that Master Huining isn’t easy to talk to, but today, it doesn’t seem to be the case.
Rao San’s subordinates were dumbfounded.
What’s going on?
What about kicking Li Hanzhou out?
This isn’t how the script was written.
For a moment, they were all a little dazed.
“Tianlong Temple truly lives up to its reputation as a great temple. The high monk truly has the bearing of a high monk, and is quite easy to talk to.” Li Hanzhou glanced at Shangguan Wanwan beside him and said, “Shopkeeper, don’t you think so?”
“Ah?”
Shangguan Wanwan came to her senses. Although she found it strange, she still nodded.
“Alright, let’s continue the story.”
Li Hanzhou called to everyone.
Master Huining left Misty Rain Tower with his men, without looking back, returning to Tianlong Temple.
Rao San’s subordinates hurried to report to Rao San.
At this moment, Rao San was still in his small courtyard waiting for news, waiting for the news of Li Hanzhou being expelled from Tianlong City.
When his subordinate arrived and told him that Master Huining merely showed his face and then left, Rao San could hardly believe it.
Master Huining took so much of his money, yet he did nothing and left?
“Why?”
Rao San said with a shocked expression.
The man beside him also couldn’t understand and couldn’t help but say, “Master Huining always did things for us after receiving money. What happened this time? Third Master, should we go to Tianlong Temple to ask tonight?”
“We absolutely must ask! I gave him so much money!” Rao San was somewhat angry.
“Then tonight’s operation…” the man cautiously asked.
“Stop!”
“Oh, okay!”
Night fell.
Rao San led his men to the outside of Tianlong Temple, gave a young monk some silver, and asked the young monk to inform Master Huining.
As a result, Rao San and his men waited outside for a full half hour before the young monk came out, clasped his hands together, and said, “Benefactor, Master Huining is probably not available today. Please return.”
“Hm?”
Rao San didn’t expect that Master Huining wouldn’t even see him.
“Young Master, please explain properly. I really have urgent business to see Master Huining.” Rao San quickly said.
“Benefactor, Master truly is unavailable. Please come again another day.” After the young monk finished speaking, he closed the door.
Leaving Rao San and the others in disarray in the wind.
“What on earth is going on!” Rao San’s face was extremely ugly. Master Huining took his money, but didn’t do the job, and now he can’t even be seen!
At this moment, inside Misty Rain Tower, Li Hanzhou was preparing to go back to rest.
“Li Hanzhou.”
At this time, Shangguan Wanwan came out. Before Li Hanzhou could speak, Shangguan Wanwan directly locked the door.
“Shopkeeper, what’s this?”
Li Hanzhou saw Shangguan Wanwan locking him inside, and his expression was surprised.
“What’s with that expression?” Shangguan Wanwan said angrily, “Are you afraid I’m going to eat you? Humph, other men, if I locked them up, would be anxiously taking off their pants by now. Look at you, afraid I’ll take advantage of you!”
“Shopkeeper, you’ve misunderstood.” Li Hanzhou smiled.
The next moment, Shangguan Wanwan actually leaned in, coming in front of Li Hanzhou. Her large eyes stared at Li Hanzhou’s face, their distance very close. Li Hanzhou could even clearly smell the rouge on Shangguan Wanwan.
Looking down, the faintly visible cleavage was also so tempting.
In terms of figure, Shangguan Wanwan’s figure was indeed top-notch, and coupled with her outstanding face, any man would not be able to withstand such charm.
“Li Hanzhou, are you hiding something from me?” Shangguan Wanwan looked at Li Hanzhou with a smirk, “Since you came, many things have become very strange. I heard that Rao San’s men had their tongues cut off, then Copper Hammer came to trouble you and was struck by lightning, and even Master Huining from Tianlong Temple left without saying anything after seeing you. Don’t tell me these things have nothing to do with you.”
“And don’t give me any nonsense about karma. I’m not that stupid.”
“Then what do you want me to say?” Li Hanzhou simply sat down.
“Actually, I should be the curious one, shouldn’t I?” Li Hanzhou said calmly, “Just a Misty Rain Tower. This location is indeed good, but it’s not worth Rao San’s attention to this extent. Even after sacrificing a Profound Connection Realm expert, he still spent a fortune to hire Master Huining from Tianlong Temple. You have to understand that Master Huining is at the Heavenly Gang Realm and is the Chief Monk of Tianlong Temple. The price to hire him is far more expensive than Misty Rain Tower.”
