Was Ninth Master Jie crazy?
A little.
He boasted that he was one of the few "smart people" in the world.
Look at the hearts of the people, calculate without missing a plan.
Because he was too smart and his brain worked too fast, he had a headache and had to smoke to relieve the pain. Later, he spent a lot of willpower to quit.
Fighting with experts was his special hobby.
This was because it could release enough mental pressure.
For example, now.
Jie Jiuye's face was flushed red and his expression was excited. He had fallen into a state of excitement. His previous refined and calm expression had changed, and his eyes were shining.
Of course.
His probing was not groundless.
The Miao people from Xiangxi (the Gu Masters from Miao territory) had left the mountain. This matter had a huge impact on the people. Ever since Su Ming and the others entered Chang Sha City, they had been noticed by some people.
Everyone was trying to guess their intentions!
Friend or foe?
As one of the few 'smart people' in the Nine Gates, Jie Jiuye continued to tease Su Ming's emotions, stirring up his anger and causing him to hover on the line between life and death.
Soon, he obtained a few pieces of crucial information.
In just a few minutes of conversation.
His understanding of Su Ming was even clearer than what Er Yue Hong had known him for half a day!
"Fierce Dragon Crossing the River!"
This was Jie Jiuye's judgment.
Su Ming was a Miao teenager and the High Priest of the Miao tribe in western Hunan. He might have some sort of extraordinary power in his control and called himself a God. He might have the power to rule over the laws of the world.
This was understandable.
Miao Jiang Gu Masters, who knew what strange abilities they had?
Moreover…
Su Ming paid a lot of attention to the establishment of the Nine Li Chamber of Commerce, and his attitude was very firm. He believed that Xiang Miao leaving the mountain was the general trend, and all those who tried to stop them had to die!
In other words, this force was rooted in Changsha City and might not be able to be stopped.
Since that was the case.
They could only befriend him.
Soon, this thought flashed through Jie Jiuye's mind. His face was flushed with excitement, and he put on a bold and heroic act as he personally led Su Ming, Er Yue Hong, and the others to the manor.
Along the way, they talked loudly, pointed out the mountains and rivers, and introduced the sceneries and people in Eternal Sand City to Su Ming and the others, making them feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze.
Su Ming's expression was cold, and he was incredibly wary.
In just two days, he had gotten to know the two leaders of the Nine Old Sects.
It had to be said.
They were all rare "talents" in the world.
One of them was gentle like jade, while the other was meticulous. They had only interacted with him a few times, but he had left a deep impression on Su Ming and the others, as if it had been etched into their hearts.
A hint of fear rose in his heart.
If Su Ming was not a Rank four Gu Master and did not have the extraordinary power to surpass the laws of the mortal world, he would have been a little afraid of these two people.
The Old Nine Factions truly lived up to their reputation of being able to control Eternal Sand City!
This made Su Ming curious.
How graceful were the other leaders of the Nine Gates?
He was a little curious, but also more vigilant!
The Jiuli Chamber of Commerce had just been established, and there were too few elites. It was not suitable for them to interact with the Old Nine Gates. They just needed to develop quietly.
Su Ming's expression was cold, and his eyes were deep as he secretly decided on his development strategy.
Very quickly.
Su Ming, Er Yue Hong, Ninth Master Jie, and the others walked through the streets and alleys to a manor under the shocked gazes of the people of Chang Sha.
This manor was too big.
"This manor covers an area of 1200 mu. It is located in the prosperous area of Changsha City. It can be said to be worth thousands of gold. Look, it faces the streets on all sides and is filled with prosperous shops. This commercial building is also a part of the manor.”
When he arrived at the gate of the manor, Jie Jiu's face was filled with excitement. A smile bloomed on his face as he pointed at a four-story building and introduced it to Su Ming.
It had to be said that poverty had limited Su Ming's imagination.
Just this building alone was enough to shock Su Ming. It was four stories tall and had upturned eaves. It was filled with a classical style, and it was the most suitable place to build the shop front for the merchant association.
Moreover, there were also the residential facilities in the manor.
It was like a royal residence.
Inside the mansion, there were winding corridors, secluded courtyards, waterside pavilions, artificial mountains, and flower gardens. There was even a lake island in the center with peach blossoms planted on it. Looking out from the railing, the lake scenery reflected in his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel relaxed and happy.
There was no doubt that Su Ming liked it.
Let's not talk about him.
Even Herbalist, Qing Lin, and the others were flabbergasted and fell into shock. When they looked at the scenery of the luxurious mansion, their hearts were slightly shaken.
"The Han people's places are beautiful!”
Herbalist, Qing Lin, and the others were shocked, but they couldn't help but feel excited. This luxurious mansion was very likely to be the residence of the Miao people from Xiangxi in the future?
The High Priest was really too capable!
The glory of Jiuli would be restored in his hands!
However, Su Ming was not as excited as they were. Instead, his expression was cold and aloof. He swept his gaze across the scenery, and the wariness in his heart grew stronger.
"Ninth Master Jie, this manor must have cost a lot of money, right?”
Su Ming said flatly.
"Quite a lot, haha…"
Ninth Master Jie laughed loudly and pushed up his glasses. A brilliant light shone in his eyes as he stared deeply at Su Ming."However, since the High Priest wants it, then take it.”
"You're Second Master's friend, so you're also my friend.”
"I, Jie Jiu, love making friends.”
"It's rare to have a bosom friend in life."
Su Ming's expression was cold, and a brilliant glint appeared in his eyes.
Take it?
Was she giving it to him for free?
Such a huge manor could be said to be worth thousands of gold. How could she give it to him for free?
There was no free gift in this world.
Su Ming's expression was cold as he said flatly," I appreciate Ninth Master Jie's kind intentions. It's also my luck to be able to make friends with Ninth Master Jie.”
"However, business is business."
"Ninth Master Jie, please name a price.”
"Otherwise, this deal is still open to discussion.”
"After all, no matter how good the place is, if someone misses it all day long, it won't be easy to sleep at night.”
Jie Jiuye smiled and said," The High Priest really likes to joke around. Alright, since the High Priest is being honest, I won't be polite. Then, it's a fixed price. One million dollars. Take it, High Priest. I've prepared the title deed. I can transfer it to you now."”
A million dollars?
Su Ming's expression was cold, and a brilliant light shone in his eyes.
Such a big manor, and he wanted to sell it to him for a million dollars?
Without a doubt.
Jie Lao Jiu was determined to befriend him.
Su Ming fell silent for a moment before he suddenly said," I understand Ninth Master Jie's intentions, but I like to be straightforward. Ninth Master Jie is working so hard to befriend me. I wonder what he wants? If you were honest, I would be honest too. Only then would it be easier to talk to each other.”
"Hahaha."
Jie Jiuye smiled and said,"The High Priest is straightforward. I like it!"”
"I won't hide it from you."
" The world is in turmoil. The warlords in the north are fighting, and the revolutionary party in the south is not stable either. This small Changsha City looks like a paradise, but in fact, there are already undercurrents surging.”
"The old nine sects have deep roots, but they can't resist the world's power.”
"Where is the future going?"
"No one knows."
" Today, I happened to learn that the High Priest led Xiang Miao out of the mountain. I want to befriend him and help him in the future. If one day…"
"The Nine Gates or the Jie Family are in a life-and-death crisis.”
"I hope that the High Priest will help out today to prevent the Jie family from being destroyed.”
"What do you think?"
Ninth Master Jie was a smart person. He had already seen through Su Ming's personality from the probing earlier. At that moment, he revealed a part of his true thoughts without any hesitation, causing Su Ming and Er Yue Hong's hearts to tremble. They could not help but sigh with emotion.
As expected of someone who had studied.
The situation was different!
He had actually jumped out of Changsha City to observe the world's situation and find a way out for the clan.
