Someone Complains About a Bookstore Employee
The man in black, seemingly afraid that Yun Qingyang would attack again after hearing this, added, "But I'm not her biological son."
Yun Qingyang was completely bewildered. Calling someone who isn't her biological child "mother"?
However, the man in black didn't elaborate on the topic. Instead, he asked curiously, "Why did you come back again? Are you going to seek revenge on my mother?"
Yun Qingyang shook her head, glanced at the depths of the Nine Heavens Mountain, and whispered, "I miss home."
"Homesick?" The man in black looked puzzled. What was so good about home? He thought about going out all day long and didn't want to stay in the Nine Heavens Mountain at all.
Yun Qingyang didn't offer any further explanation. Since the man in black wasn't from the Phantom Organization, Yun Qingyang naturally wouldn't attack him. Sheathing her Qingshuang Sword, she walked forward, intending to enter the Nine Heavens Mountain.
"Hey, wait a minute," the man in black called out.
Yun Qingyang stopped, looked at the man in black, and said nothing.
The man in black scratched his head and chuckled awkwardly, "Can I ask you something? You don't know which direction the Zhao State is in?"
"The Zhao State?" Yun Qingyang frowned, recalling a conversation she had with Ma Feifei.
"Central Qin, Northern Yan, Western Qi, Southern Chu, Eastern Zhao."
"Where is north? And where is west?"
"You don't believe me when I say you're stupid. Remember the mantra I taught you: North is up, South is down, West is left, East is right."
Is "up" heaven?
"You can think of it this way: your front is north, your back is south, your left hand is west, and your right hand is east. Do you understand?"
"Knew..."
"Don't you know which direction the Zhao State is in?" The man in black couldn't help but ask when Yun Qingyang didn't answer for a while.
Yun Qingyang tilted his head, looked at what was in front of him, glanced at his right hand, and then pointed to the right.
"Thank you!" The man in black was delighted. He clasped his hands in a proper gesture of thanks to Yun Qingyang, then turned and left in the direction Yun Qingyang pointed.
Yun Qingyang watched the departing figure of the man in black, then looked up at the sun directly overhead, and murmured to herself, "It should be right, right?"
"Of course you're wrong..." The man in black stood at the Zhenbei gate of the town, looking at the gate of Dubian Town, and he looked rather unwell.
"This is really too much! If you don't want to talk, then don't talk. Why lie to me?" The man in black was furious that Yun Qingyang had fooled him.
"Don't think you can get away with lying to me. You're an employee of the Mysterious Bookstore, aren't you? Wait, I'm going to find your boss right now and demand an explanation!" The man in black snarled as he strode into Dubian Town, heading towards the Mysterious Bookstore.
At noon, Ma Feifei was teaching the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey to read "Journey to the West," explaining some of the plot points and stories to help it memorize them, as this was about to be its task. Perhaps it was due to Ma Feifei's temper these past few days, or perhaps it was because the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey was eager to learn, but it was studying very diligently. In addition, possessing the bloodline of the ancient Stone Monkey, it was naturally intelligent, so it learned very quickly. Judging from this progress, it wouldn't be long before the "Journey to the West" listing task could be started.
"Shopkeeper, someone's looking for you outside," Zhang Yunji suddenly said, running into the backyard.
"Who?" Ma Feifei asked curiously.
Zhang Yunji frowned and said, "It seems to be the Phantom Organization; they're masked and dressed in black."
Ma Feifei looked surprised and said, "The Phantom Organization actually came to my door so openly? What do they want? Are they trying to assassinate me while Dragon Girl is away?"
"Uh..." Zhang Yunji didn't know how to answer, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "He came in a bit aggressively, saying he wanted to get an explanation from you, the shop owner, as if he had been wronged."
"Feeling wronged? I'm the one feeling wronged! Let's go see." Ma Feifei sneered. Damn it, he'd only been in this world for almost a year, and the Phantom Organization had been involved in both of his assassination attempts. They were feeling wronged? I'll show them what I'm made of.
The most crucial point is that not only was there an assassination attempt, but now they're coming to demand an explanation—isn't that like a thief crying "stop thief!"?
With that thought in mind, Ma Feifei strode towards the Bookstore. He wanted to see what kind of trouble the Phantom Organization could stir up inside the Mysterious Bookstore.
"So, you're the one who wants an explanation from me?" Ma Feifei asked, standing inside the Bookstore and looking at the masked man in black outside.
For some reason, Ma Feifei felt that this guy was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
"Yes! I'm looking for you. You're the owner of the Mysterious Bookstore, right? I'm here to report your Bookstore employees for deceiving customers," the masked man in black said confidently.
Upon hearing this, Ma Feifei was stunned for a moment, as was Zhang Yunji behind him. Even Luan Feng inside stopped reading "Six Secret Teachings" and stared at the masked man in black.
"This guest, you should speak with solid evidence," Zhang Yunji reminded him with a smile.
The Bookstore currently only has two employees, him and General Luanfeng. This person directly reported the employees, which means he's reporting both of them!
Zhang Yunji believed he had worked diligently at the Mysterious Bookstore, always greeting customers with a smile, and hadn't received a single complaint in over six months. This was a testament to Zhang Yunji hard work and a source of pride. So, when someone suddenly threatened to report the Bookstore's employees, how could Zhang Yunji not be terrified?
"Oh? Come in, come in and let's talk." Ma Feifei became interested. Not to mention Zhang Yunji, even he, Ma Feifei, had never received a customer complaint about Bookstore employee before. This made him particularly curious, so he invited the man in black into the Bookstore, intending to find out the details gradually.
"That's more like it." The man in black raised his head arrogantly, straightened his clothes, and stepped into the Bookstore.
Ma Feifei led the man in black directly into VIP room number one, then closed the door, leaving Zhang Yunji, who had followed them, outside.
Zhang Yunji, who had originally planned to follow and eavesdrop, felt a chill run down his spine upon seeing this.
"General Luanfeng, what do we do now?" Zhang Yunji walked to Luan Feng's side in a daze and asked nervously.
"It shouldn't be you," Luan Feng said hesitantly. No one knew Zhang Yunji's work attitude better than Luan Feng, and Luan Feng felt it was unlikely that Zhang Yunji would be the subject of a complaint.
"But I feel it's me," Zhang Yunji sighed. Because he was a man, he handled more of the business every day. Although there seemed to be no problem on the surface, no one could be sure that someone didn't have a problem deep down. Luan Feng, on the other hand, was quiet and never wasted words on others, so she naturally wouldn't offend customers. After considering all this, Zhang Yunji felt that the chances of him being complained about were extremely high.
"Hmm..." Luan Feng was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say. The Bookstore only had two employees, either her or Zhang Yunji, no doubt about it. As for the first employee, Yun Qingyang, they had automatically ignored her. You should know that Yun Qingyang was a Saint who could even defeat Saint Chu. Anyone who dared to complain about her would probably be in for a world of hurt.
"Oh no, oh no! The shop owner told me a while ago that he would give me a big gift after I've worked at the Bookstore for a full year in a few months. If I get a complaint this time, will the shop owner think I'm not doing my job well? Will I miss out on that big gift? Will he fire me right away?" Zhang Yunji became more and more alarmed as he thought about it, and he completely lost his focus on his work. Luan Feng was speechless.
