So They Were Planning to Hunt for Treasure!

Cheng Chao looked outside, and after a while said, "Why do these people look so familiar? They look like those wealthy merchants from Jiangnan."

Shen Wanjun went outside and looked around, saying, "Hey! It's them! They've come too?"

Not only did they come, but wealthy businessmen from all over the country also gathered outside.

These people, seeing the wealthy merchants from Jiangnan, said, "Oh! You don't have any seats either?"

The wealthy merchant from Jiangnan couldn't help but shake his head and say, "That's right, there are no seats. That group of people took all the seats, so we can't get in and can only wait here."

The Fujianese businessman frowned and said, "Such a thing actually happened?"

The wealthy merchant from Jiangnan nodded and said:

"A six-year-old child has actually taken over the most luxurious room here."

I've already sent someone to inquire; I plan to buy this room today for 10 times the price.

The Hui merchant smiled and said, "In that case, we don't need to wait here any longer. We can sit together then."

The madam came out from inside and said:

"Sir, the people inside are willing to give you this room."

"Ten thousand taels of silver tonight, if multiplied tenfold, would be one hundred thousand taels of silver."

The wealthy merchant from Jiangnan's face immediately darkened. "Do you think I'm a sucker? 100,000 taels of silver, why don't you just rob me?"

The madam smiled faintly and said, "If you're not willing, that's fine too. That's their price, and there's nothing I can do about it."

The wealthy merchant from Jiangnan gritted his teeth and said, "It's just 100,000 taels of silver? I'll pay it."

He pulled out 100,000 taels of silver and threw it at the madam, saying, "Tell that little girl to get out here. I want to see whose little girl is so arrogant."

Zhou Wanwan walked out and smiled slightly at the wealthy merchant from Jiangnan:

"Oh! Isn't this Young Master Jiang from Jiangnan? What are you doing here?"

Young Master Jiang is incredibly generous! He just threw out 100,000 taels of silver.

Young Master Jiang was visibly surprised when he saw Zhou Wanwan and said, "I knew it! It was you!"

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "Yes! We've known each other for a long time."

The wealthy merchant from Jiangnan was followed by several friends, all of whom were wealthy merchants from the border regions.

These were all places Zhou Wanwan was familiar with, but brothels had always been the favorite places of these wealthy businessmen.

The wealthy merchants from the border region looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "Oh, it's this little girl! She won quite a bit of money from us last time!"

Zhou Wanwan waved to them and said, "Hello everyone! Uncles, you've come to the brothel too?"

Upon hearing themselves addressed as "uncle," everyone's faces darkened.

Soon Zhao Rui also walked in from outside, followed by Zhou Yi.

Zhao Rui looked at Young Master Jiang and said, "You're here so early? Oh! Zhou Wanwan, what are you doing here?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said, "You live by the sea? Why are you being so nosy?"

Zhao Rui snorted coldly and said, "This is not a place for you. A girl should stay at home and study music, chess, calligraphy, and painting."

Zhou Wanwan rolled her eyes and said, "Are you my mother? Why are you so nosy? I'm your great-aunt, watch your attitude."

Upon hearing this form of address, Zhao Rui's expression changed, and he said:

I don't acknowledge you as my great-aunt at all!

Who do you think you are? You dare to put on airs in front of me.

The wealthy merchant from Jiangnan wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "Gentlemen, stop arguing and calm down. We're all here to have fun. I'll take this private room. Let's go in now!"

Someone nearby muttered, "A private room costing 100,000 taels of silver is indeed quite luxurious."

Zhao Rui was shocked when he heard "100,000 taels": "What? A private room costs 100,000 taels? You've been ripped off!"

Young Master Jiang shook his head and said, "This private room was previously booked by Zhou Wanwan, and I bought it back for 100,000 taels of silver."

Zhao Rui looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "Are you really obsessed with money? Is money all you care about?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said, "What's it to you? I'm doing what I want, it's none of your business!"

"A profiteer."

Zhou Wanwan received the money and, too lazy to bother with them, looked at the madam and said, "I remember I have one more room, right?"

The madam smiled and said, "Your private room has been reserved for you!"

Zhou Wanwan turned and went into the private room inside.

Zhao Rui was furious. "What kind of logic is this? A private room costs 100,000 taels of silver, why doesn't she just rob people?"

Young Master Jiang waved his hand and said, "Forget it, there's nothing to be angry about. Let's go into the private room and discuss this matter properly."

All the wealthy businessmen went into the private room.

Zhou Wanwan was quite curious about what these people were discussing.

The roots of the Old Scholar Tree slowly extended in, and soon it relayed its feedback to Zhou Wanwan:

"Oh! I thought it was something serious! Turns out you're just planning a treasure hunt!"

This group of people planned to search for treasure at the tomb of the Old War God of the Northern Frontier.

Zhou Wanwan laughed, "That's quite interesting!"

The Old Scholar Tree said silently:

"Rumors are not to be believed! These days, everyone is saying that the tomb of the Old War God of the Northern Frontier contains more than just gold and silver treasures."

There are also many divine weapons and powerful artifacts; whoever obtains the tomb of the old war god will gain control of the world.

Some people say that the old war god left behind unparalleled martial arts manuals and an elixir of immortality.

The entire martial arts world is in an uproar.

Zhou Wanwan chuckled. She'd brought something from fantasy to reality; how many people wouldn't go crazy?

Most importantly, Zhou Wanwan's bookstore has just published several very popular novels.

"Ghost Blows Out the Light," "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles," "The Tomb of Gods," "Shrouding the Heavens"—basically, any novel that Zhou Wanwan thought was particularly good before, she turned into a serialized novel.

This was incredible; it went viral instantly.

The entire martial arts world is in a state of frenzy right now.

Zhao Rui said:

Have you read those books lately?

What is Shrouding the Heavens "Tomb of Gods"? Who wrote all this stuff?

I watch it every day, I just can't stop.

So now that a tomb of the War God of the Northern Frontier has suddenly appeared, do you think it's real or fake?

Young Master Jiang, standing beside him, looked at him and said:

"I think it's most likely true, because we've heard about it a long time ago, and it's not just a rumor."

I'm telling you, I've already obtained information from the Jianghu Alliance; that tomb truly exists.

Moreover, I've heard that it contains a large amount of gold and silver jewelry.

However, the mechanisms inside are not something an ordinary person can solve, so to descend into the tomb of the War God of the Northern Frontier, one must find some reliable people.

Zhao Rui's heart swelled with anticipation. "Then what kind of talent would be useful?"

"I heard that in the Jianghu Alliance, there is a master ranked 55th on the Earth Ranking, known as Mr. Ghost Hand, who started his career by tomb raiding."

But getting him to come will take a lot of effort.

How much money do you need?

"It would cost 500,000 taels of silver, and even then, we might not be able to persuade him."

But he can keep us safe.

All the wealthy merchants' sons laughed, "Oh dear! Only 500,000 taels of silver! This is nothing!"

Soon, several more groups of people arrived at the brothel, and they all immediately asked for private rooms.

These people don't look like people to be messed with.
