The Hidden Emerald Pavilion was a restaurant.
But it was different.
It was a classical building, luxurious and elegant. Inside, there were young maids with graceful figures. They carried wine and dishes and walked among the wealthy merchants. They were charming and moving.
Upon entering the building, Herbalist, Azure Forest, and the other Miao people were all shocked.
It was an eye-opener.
Perhaps it was because she saw that Su Ming was young, but Er Yue Hong explained helplessly,"This friend of mine is the head of the Jie family of the Nine Sects. He is known as the 'Ninth Master Jie'. He likes to play chess, especially in the mortal world.”
"The manor we want to see is one of his properties.”
Ninth Master Jie?
Su Ming's expression was cold, and he could not help but have his eyes sparkle.
The Ninth Master Xie who had calculated everything?
Unexpectedly, the friend that Er Yuehong mentioned was actually him.
But thinking about it carefully.
In Changsha City, other than the " big shots " on the official level, only the head of the Old Nine Factions had the right to be considered a friend of Eryue Hong.
Was Su Ming curious?
A little, but not much.
Su Ming wanted to befriend Old Nine Factions, but he was not trying to curry favor with them. He was the High Priest of the Miao tribe in western Hunan, and he naturally had the glory of having the blood of Nine Li!
Soon, they entered a private room on the third floor.
The private room was huge.
There were three halls in front and back.
The outer hall was decorated with antiques, while the inner hall had tables and chairs. In the inner hall, there was a chessboard by the window. A young man in a suit, wearing glasses, was in deep thought.
On the chessboard, there were black and white chess pieces. It looked very scholarly.
"Ninth Brother."
After entering the private room, Er Yuehong suddenly smiled and called out. The young man in a suit, who was deep in thought, slowly raised his head.
His face was very ordinary. It was the kind that would not be recognized even if he was thrown into a crowd.
However…
He had a pair of deep eyes, occasionally pushing up his glasses, and a cold glint in his eyes, making people feel that he was a very shrewd person.
In reality.
Jie Jiuye was also the only orthodox intellectual in the Old Nine Sects.
He had also studied in Japan.
He knew a foreign language and was a big shot in the business world.
"Second Master."
Jie Jiuye smiled and stood up. He looked at Su Ming and the others, pushed up his glasses, and a brilliant light shone in his eyes as he smiled.
"There are a lot of people."
There were twenty something Miao Tribe people who had followed Su Ming in. They practically filled up the outer and inner halls, and Jie Jiuye could not help but feel surprised.
He also gained a better understanding of Su Ming's status as the High Priest.
"Ninth Brother."
Er Yue Hong's handsome face bloomed with a smile as he introduced the two of them,"This is the Miao High Priest, my friend.”
After saying that, he pointed at Ninth Master Xie and said,"Ninth Master Xie, the head of the old nine sects, the Xie family."”
"High Priest (Miao language)."
Ninth Master Jie had a smile on his lips. He studied Su Ming seriously with a pair of deep eyes, then he spoke in familiar Miao language and greeted him politely.
Su Ming was shocked. He could not help but ask,"Ninth Master Jie's Miao language is not bad.”
"Haha, thank you for the compliment."
Ninth Master Jie smiled and took the initiative to invite Su Ming to sit down. He then called for a young maid to serve the dishes and asked someone to bring the herb farmer, Qing Lin, and the others to the room next door for a meal.
However, Herbalist, Qing Lin, and the others did not move. Instead, they looked at Su Ming to ask for his opinion.
"No need."
Su Ming's expression was cold and aloof. He refused to understand Ninth Master's good intentions.
"I believe that Ninth Master Jie already knows why I came.”
"This time, I led the Xiangxi Miao people out of the mountain to establish a firm foothold in Changsha City and establish the Jiuli Chamber of Commerce to seek a way out for the Xiangxi Miao people and the Jiuli bloodline in the world.”
"I heard that Ninth Master Xie has a manor in his hands that is very suitable for the location of the Jiuli Chamber of Commerce's guild hall. I hope that Ninth Master can part with it.”
"In short, the price is not a problem.”
Jie Jiuye smiled and pushed up his glasses. His eyes lit up and he suddenly said in a deep voice,"What if I say no?"
The atmosphere at the table suddenly froze.
Er Yue Hong was surprised. She looked up at the 9th master, but the 9th master smiled and gave her a " no worries " look. She immediately quieted down.
Su Ming's expression was cold. He did not care about the exchange between Ninth Master Jie and Er Yue Hong, and he did not care about Ninth Master Jie's 'probing' intentions.
"Forget it if you're unwilling."
"Changsha City is so big. It should be easy for me to find a location for a guild hall.”
"There will always be a place."
Jie Jiuye touched the jade ring on his right thumb. A mysterious smile appeared on his face, and his deep eyes became cold.
"Oh, really?"
"It's the High Priest's first time in Changsha City."
"But you've heard of the Nine Gates 'foundation, right?”
"Let me say something impolite."
"Without the permission of the Nine Gates, the High Priest would not be able to move an inch in Changsha City.”
"What will you do then?”
Jie Jiuye smiled and his deep eyes turned cold. His words were full of threat, and the atmosphere in the private room froze.
"Nothing much."
Su Ming's expression was cold, as if he did not hear Ninth Master Xie's threat. He said flatly,"Xiang Miao leaving the mountain is the general trend, no one can stop it.”
"Buying supplies, reading, anywhere.”
"Of course,"
When he said that, Su Ming's expression turned cold, and a cold killing intent rose in his eyes. A terrifying and shocking mighty pressure of a God rose from his body.
It was as if a tsunami had swept through the entire private room!
No matter who it was.
Their hearts trembled, and they almost couldn't breathe.
It was as if the air had frozen.
Then, Su Ming said coldly with a cold expression,"If someone wants to provoke me, then kill all the so-called Nine Gates.”
"When people die, naturally no one will provoke them.”
"Don't you think so, Jie Jiu Ye?"
At that moment, a terrifying and shocking pressure from a God rose from Su Ming's body and almost filled the entire room. The air seemed to have frozen.
No matter who it was, they all trembled and stopped breathing.
It was as if fear and reverence came from the depths of his life.
It was as if they were in awe of the gods!
Su Ming's cold words and his chilling gaze were like sharp swords that shot into the depths of Jie Jiuye's eyes, shocking his soul.
He could not help but tremble.
Fear rose in his heart!
This was the natural fear of low-level life forms towards high-level life forms!
Xie Jiuye's thoughts flickered. He wanted to say something, but he realized that his body was trembling uncontrollably. The air had frozen, and breathing was difficult.
A long time passed.
A terrifying divine pressure slowly receded like a tide.
No matter who it was.
All of them heaved a sigh of relief, as if they were sweating.
Only Su Ming, the Miao teenager with a cold expression, remained seated at the table as if nothing had happened. His expression was as calm as ever.
The atmosphere in the private room fell silent for a few seconds.
Suddenly.
"The High Priest thinks that he has the ability to destroy the entire Nine Gates?" Jie Jiuye laughed.”
When he said those words, he had a smile on his lips. He looked at Su Ming calmly with a deep gaze, as if a great deal of interest had risen in his eyes.
Su Ming's expression was cold and he could not help but frown.
He had had enough of Ninth Master Xie's constant probing. His cold eyes stared intently into Ninth Master Xie's eyes, and his tone gradually became sharp.
"It's as easy as a god crushing an ant!”
Jie Jiuye became more and more interested. The smile on his face was thick as he kept probing the line of life and death."Oh? The High Priest thinks he's a god?"
"That depends on what you think of God.”
"What do you mean?"
"If one were to say that I am immortal and have boundless magical power, and that I can surpass the laws of the human world, then…I am a god!”
As soon as he said that!
It was as if a heavy hammer had landed on Jie Jiuye's heart.
The knocking shook his mind.
His entire body trembled, and a stream of blood rushed up to his throat.
However, he forced himself to swallow it with a smile and a normal expression.
Su Ming's expression was cold. He stared at Ninth Master Jie with a pair of dark eyes. Killing intent rose in his eyes, and his anger had reached its limit.
Su Ming had had enough of this boring 'probing play'.
He promised!
If Jie Jiuye said another word of nonsense!
Then, he would definitely die!
No one could protect it!
Fortunately, Jie Jiuye was a smart person. He could tell that the killing intent in Su Ming's eyes was thick, and his patience had reached its limit.
In the next second, he could not help but laugh out loud."Joke, joke."
"The High Priest wants that manor?"
"Sure, sure."
"Let's go and take a look at that place.”
"Speaking of which,"
"I haven't been to that manor for a long time.”
"Today, I can bring the High Priest around.”
"It's also a good time to relax."
A simple speech.
It dissolved the murderous atmosphere in the air and the killing intent in Su Ming's eyes. Jie Jiuye laughed heartily as if nothing had happened.
"Madman!"
Both Su Ming and Er Yue Hong cursed in their hearts, and they understood Jie Jiu's 'madness' a little more.
