A Talented Man and a Beautiful Woman

Chapter 627 A Perfect Match

At the exit leading to the street, besides a few disciples of the World Commerce Association guarding the entrance, four other people were standing there looking around. This road leading to the God of Wealth Peak was not supposed to be for outsiders, but these four were Niu Youde's subordinates and enjoyed privileges not available to outsiders.

Yue Qianchou stopped behind the four people, and the four of them turned around to look at him. They were all a little puzzled. Judging from his clothes, he didn't seem to be a disciple of the World Commerce Association. Why did he come down from the God of Wealth Peak?

Yue Qianchou smiled at the four of them and said, "I am Yue Qianchou. Senior Niu must have already told you."

The four exchanged glances, their doubts dispelled. Yue Qianchou was the only one who knew the content of their conversation with Niu Youde, so they all bowed and said, "Greetings, Mr. Yue." Then Tian Ye clasped his hands separately and said, "Senior Niu instructed the four of us to wait here for you, and to obey your orders."

"I know, Senior Niu already told me. You four, come with me!" Yue Qianchou instructed, then strolled into the street. The four followed behind.

The disciples of the World Commerce Association guarding the pass exchanged glances, and one of them immediately dashed up the mountain to report the news...

Strolling through the streets, one could hear people talking about Yue Qianchou's arrival, yet surprisingly few recognized Yue Qianchou, completely unaware that Yue Qianchou was walking among them. Yue Qianchou felt comfortable; not being as conspicuous as Niu Youde, and the lack of attention, made him feel much more at ease. However, because of Tian Ye and his group of four, many people still pointed and whispered about him as he walked ahead of them.

"Tian Ye, where do you think we should stay?" Yue Qianchou asked casually. Tian Ye immediately followed and replied, "There's a house on God of Wealth Peak that Senior Niu is coming to. The environment is quite nice. If you'd like, sir, you can stay there with us."

"That place..." Yue Qianchou thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Let's not stay there from today onwards. Let's go to a safer place to stay."

"Yes!" Tian Ye replied. However, the four exchanged glances, all somewhat puzzled, wondering if there was any place safer than the God of Wealth Peak in the Treasure Gathering Basin.

"Hey! Isn't that Yue Qianchou?" someone suddenly shouted from the moving crowd. Everyone's eyes immediately followed.

"So he is Yue Qianchou..." The crowd stopped and started discussing.

This caused an immediate traffic jam. The group of five became a rare sight, everyone eager to see what Yue Qianchou looked like. With their path blocked, Yue Qianchou, without a word, unleashed a burst of blue flames that enveloped him, making his fiery walk quite frightening. The scorching heatwave cleared a path, causing the onlookers to frantically push and shove, instantly clearing the way.

A chorus of curses erupted from both sides of the street, but Yue Qianchou couldn't care less. They were all bad news anyway, and they deserved to be burned alive. He put away the Azure Flame and continued on his way, letting others curse. If anyone went too far with their insults, he wouldn't mind killing one or two. After all, he now had Wen Lanfeng backing him up; such a powerful figurehead was too good to pass up.

The four of Tian Ye exchanged bewildered glances; this butcher of the Cultivation World truly lived up to his reputation. Following Yue Qianchou, they turned several corners and stopped in front of a shop. Upon seeing the shop's emblem—a vibrant green orchid—the four suddenly realized... Ah! Wen Lanfeng had come to the Treasure Gathering Basin, hadn't he? Staying at the Wen Family Shop was definitely safer than staying on the God of Wealth Peak.

The shop assistant greeted the five people who entered with a smile, saying, "Gentlemen..." Noticing a crowd of people outside pointing and whispering, he became puzzled and changed his tone, "Are you five here to buy something?"

Yue Qianchou glanced around the shop and found that the Wen Family Shop was practically a general store, filled with all sorts of random things. It seemed that the Wen family didn't have any particular specialty; without something unique, it would be difficult to make big money. This place was probably just a contact point. He shook his head and said to the shop assistant, "I am Yue Qianchou, here to pay my respects to Senior Wen."

"Yue Qianchou?" The waiter glanced outside and immediately understood. The shopkeeper strode over and asked, "Are you Yue Qianchou?"

"Genuine, guaranteed authentic," Yue Qianchou said with a smile. The shopkeeper's expression turned serious, and he waved his hand, saying, "Please come with me." He then led the group to the backyard, told them to wait a moment, and ran upstairs to report.

A moment later, a head popped out of an upstairs window, a gloomy face on his face, and he yelled down, "Get up here!" It was none other than Nong Zhu.

"Are you out of your mind!" Yue Qianchou retorted immediately without hesitation. Turning back to the four, he instructed, "Wait here, I'll go see what's going on."

The four agreed, but secretly clicked their tongues in amazement. They had all seen that person; it was none other than Mr. Nongzhu, who had sought out Niu Youde last time. Yue Qianchou dared to talk back like that—quite impressive!

Lou Yanqing was upstairs, chuckled when she heard Yue Qianchou's shout and asked Nong Zhu, "Is that Yue Qianchou?"

Nong Zhu nodded with a gloomy face. Wen Lanfeng, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but smile and rubbed his hands together excitedly, saying, "I've heard so much about this kid. Today I'll see what makes him so special."

All three stared expectantly at the door, but instead they heard heavy footsteps echoing down one floor below, followed by someone cursing, "Damn it, we've come to the wrong floor! The fourth floor is the top floor, this is the third floor..."

The three looked at each other in bewilderment. Lou Yanqing's face was hidden by a green veil, so the change in her expression could not be seen, but the suppressed laughter could be heard coming from within. Wen Lanfeng just laughed twice, Nong Zhu's face also darkened. He cursed in a twisted way, "You bastard, you disgraceful thing."

The sound of footsteps echoed outside, and a head poked its way in, muttering as it observed, "Why make so many rooms in a run-down shop! It's like a maze, doesn't it..." Turning its head to the left, it spotted Nong Zhu and the other two standing inside. It swallowed its words and weakly asked, "May I come in?"

Wen Lanfeng smiled and said, "Come in!" He stared at him curiously, wanting to see what was so special about this disciple that Bi Changchun had chosen.

Yue Qianchou became serious, walked up to Wen Lanfeng, bowed and said, "I presume you are the world-renowned Senior Wen."

"No need for such formalities," Wen Lanfeng said with a smile. "You're quite famous too!"

"Ah! Those are just my nicknames, not worth mentioning." Yue Qianchou acted very modestly, but when he saw Lou Yanqing, whose face was covered by a blue veil, he pretended not to recognize her and asked knowingly, "I wonder who this senior lady is? But Senior Wen are such a perfect match, a truly handsome couple! Could she be Madam Wen?"

Nong Zhu's expression twitched. This kid really knew how to flatter; he must have made Wen Lanfeng feel incredibly comfortable. Turning his head, he saw Wen Lanfeng indeed staring at Yue Qianchou with obvious admiration—and it wasn't just ordinary admiration, it was downright adoration.

However, Lou Yanqing did not appreciate his sentiment and asked meaningfully, "You have never even seen my face, how do you know that we are a perfect match? Have you seen me somewhere before?" Her voice was like the tinkling of a clear spring in a deep valley, or like the song of an oriole in the green willow.

Damn! Even her voice is so beautiful, no wonder she's the most beautiful woman in the world! Yue Qianchou was stunned for a moment, then waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, no, this is the first time I've even met Senior Wen, let alone Madam Wen. But the two of you have such an aura, standing there like dragons and phoenixes, with the harmonious charm of a zither and lute. Anyone with eyes can tell at a glance that you are a couple."

He kept addressing her as "Madam Wen," which made Nong Zhu roll her eyes as she stared at the roof beam. Wen Lanfeng, on the other hand, kept glancing between Lou Yanqing and himself, as if he had truly discovered a beautiful woman, and a harmonious, harem-like quality...

"Alright, stop talking nonsense." Lou Yanqing said somewhat unhappily, "I am not some Madam Wen, I am Lou Yanqing from Lingfang Valley." Her eyes behind the green veil stared at Yue Qianchou, scrutinizing him. She just couldn't understand it. Everyone said that a refined and knowledgeable person could be a sycophantic scoundrel. Was this really the talented Yue Qianchou? If Nong Zhu hadn't been there, she would have even suspected that this person was an imposter of Yue Qianchou in any other situation.

"Ah!" Yue Qianchou exclaimed in surprise, "So you are the renowned healer, the divine physician Senior Lou! My apologies! My apologies!" He then bowed to Wen Lanfeng and said, "Senior Wen, please forgive my ignorance. My words just now were too rash. Please don't take offense."

Lou Yanqing was completely speechless, thinking to herself that it was no accident that this guy was able to work in a brothel.

Wen Lanfeng said with a warm smile, "Ignorance is no excuse. We can't blame you for not knowing."

Yue Qianchou immediately seized the opportunity, cupping his hands and saying, "Since senior has forgiven me, I have a request, and I hope senior will grant it."

Nong Zhu glanced at him coldly, thinking to himself... Here it comes! Here it comes! I knew this kid would never be so helpful for no reason; he's definitely up to no good.

Wen Lanfeng had a very good first impression of Yue Qianchou. It had been many years since he had seen such a pleasing junior. No wonder he caught Bi Changchun's eye; there was indeed a reason for it. He immediately nodded and said, "Just say what you need. As long as it's within my power."

"It's like this," Yue Qianchou explained with a wry smile, "Senior Wen, as you know, I've offended quite a few people in the Cultivation World. Now that I've come to the Treasure Gathering Basin, I really can't find a safe place to stay. I wonder if I could stay at your Wen family's shop? I see you have quite a few empty rooms here."

Nong Zhu was full of suspicion. This kid had brought free bodyguards. He was thriving in the Treasure Gathering Basin disguised as Niu Youde. Who would dare to mess with him? But now he had suddenly revealed his true appearance. Could something be going to happen to the Treasure Gathering Basin? Thinking of this, he immediately thought of Ziyi and Furong, who were still on the God of Wealth Peak. He decided to bring them here as soon as possible. It was the right thing to do to follow this cunning kid.

Little did Lou Yanqing know that she also had many doubts about what she was hearing...

"That's all?" Wen Lanfeng asked in surprise, feeling that the request was too simple.

"It's not just me, I have four followers too. Can they all move in with me?" Yue Qianchou asked. Wen Lanfeng laughed, "That's nothing, they can all move in!"
