The concierge was still there. After Hou Xiaowu greeted the other party, he took out the scroll of calligraphy and paintings and handed it over to the other party, without mentioning a word about visiting Guo Nanbei.

Instead, the concierge spoke first, "Fellow Daoist, today the real person is in the mansion, let me report it."

"It's a blessing for fellow Taoist Chen," Hou Xiaowu stuffed the scroll into the other party's arms. "I'd like to hand over this calligraphy and painting to Master Guo first."

The concierge collected the money in a straightforward way, but it was a bit like taking money from others but not guaranteeing that it would be for him. He gave a vaccination first: "It's easy to say, I will definitely deliver calligraphy and paintings, but I can't guarantee whether Master Guo will meet fellow Taoists. I can only try my best to speak for fellow Taoists."

"It's easy to say," Hou Xiaowu said with a smile, "I admire Master Guo, and these calligraphy and paintings are also voluntarily respecting the real person. I don't want to use these things to submit a copy with the real person so that the real person can meet me."

Hou Xiaowu said all the beautiful words, but he doesn't have any money to talk about, as long as he can see Guo Nanbei.

The doorman left with the scroll of calligraphy and paintings, and Hou Xiaowu was waiting outside. Even if he couldn't see the other party today, it didn't matter. His plan was to spend a lot of money first, and he was even mentally prepared to give the other party ten paintings for free first!

Fortunately, the types of calligraphy and paintings that Guo Nanbei likes are not particularly niche. As long as he searches for more people in the outside world, he can always find one that suits the other party's appetite. Therefore, as long as he has enough spirit stones, it will not be a problem to give away ten calligraphy and paintings.

Soon, Xiaowu saw the concierge come back. The other party’s expression was not very good, and he felt a little apologized when he was pretending.

When he arrived in front of him, the other party said, "I'm so sorry, Fellow Daoist, Master Guo is practicing at the critical moment, and I can't see anyone today."

"It's okay," Hou Xiaowu looked completely understandable. "Minister Guo is a busy person. It's normal that he doesn't have as much time as you and me when he has free time."

Seeing that Hou Xiaowu had no objection, the concierge secretly said that if he didn't see the real person after giving the gift, and showed impatience or unwillingness to come out, he would not have such a good attitude towards the other party next time.

"I have placed the calligraphy and paintings given by fellow Taoist Hou outside the cave of Zhenren. After the practice is over, I will definitely see them as soon as possible. At that time, I will also report to Zhenren. The person who gave this calligraphy and painting is Fellow Hou."

Hou Xiaowu bowed and bent down slightly: "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Chen, and Hou dared not waste fellow Taoist time, so I will say goodbye first."

The concierge also bowed his hand and asked, "Will fellow Taoist come tomorrow?"

The meaning of coming is that tomorrow I will come with a scroll of calligraphy and paintings and give the calligraphy and paintings to his real person for free.

Hou Xiaowu nodded and said, "I should come. After all, I'd better have a glimpse of the style of Master Guo first."

At this time, the concierge started to practice Tai Chi again: "I just asked casually just now. I saw fellow Taoists coming every day before, and I asked this out of curiosity. But fellow Taoists don't worry, as long as I have the chance, I will definitely help fellow Taoists fight for the opportunity to meet Mr. Guo."

Hou Xiaowu secretly said that the gatekeeper was also a clever man, and he could not offend people without any leakage, but he had no promises. This was the same as the owner of the gatekeeper. Guo Nanbei was also a person like this. He could still accept the things and promises, but he didn't have them.

Fortunately, so far, Hou Xiaowu judged that Guo Nanbei's greed had been stretched out.

Guo Nanbei is definitely not an ordinary person. Even if his daily hobby is to like calligraphy and paintings, and others give calligraphy and paintings to their preferences, Guo Nanbei will not lose his mind. Hou Xiaowu is very clear that even if he gives Guo Nanbei a hundred free calligraphy and paintings, Guo Nanbei will not really treat him as a guest of honor, and it is even more impossible to take the initiative to recruit him or promise to help him and accomplish one or several things for him.

But Hou Xiaowu still tamed the spirit beasts and "tamed" Guo Nanbei.

This looks incredible. Doing so is humiliating the IQ of a new sect. Guo Nanbei could not have touched Hou Xiaowu's way.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Guo Nanbei will definitely not be blinded by this little benefit just because of a few paintings or dozens of paintings.

The reason why Hou Xiaowu believes that his method can be effective is actually because he does not want Guo Nanbei to help him a lot, nor will he make excessive demands on Guo Nanbei!

This is the key!

Hou Xiaowu would only ask Guo Nanbei to tell me about the secret placement point. Even if I can’t find out the specific location of the placement point, just figure out what the secret placement point is, such as someone guarding it and what the guarding process is, that’s enough.

For Guo Nanbei, it does not require psychological burden on his back and does not have to worry about causing trouble in the future.

Therefore, after Guo Nanbei's greed was stretched out, even if Guo Nanbei was very vigilant, Hou Xiaowu's purpose was not to make Guo Nanbei embarrassed or to bring out any benefits, so Guo Nanbei would not be strictly guarding him.

Hou Xiaowu estimated that tomorrow would be the day to meet the other party. After all, Guo Nanbei would want to understand why he had to give away calligraphy and paintings for several days without compensation.

"If you just show it well tomorrow, then continue to give away calligraphy and paintings the day after tomorrow. In a few days, you can get the information I want from the other party."

Hou Xiaowu felt that the breakthrough seemed to be able to be opened...

After these five or six days of rest, Wang Lun's deep fatigue has been relieved a little, and he has not delayed his cultivation these days, just consumed more spirit stones.

The agreed day with Changsun Wuyang is coming soon. Wang Lun is on the way to Fansun Prefecture now. There is no need to rush to rush. Wang Lun basically stopped flying. In this way, it took only three days to enter Fansun Prefecture.

Longqing Mountain has not changed, nor has Changsun family at the foot of the mountain. After Wang Lun arrived, he successfully arrived at the fake Breaking Divine Stone.

Changsun Wuyang has very good skills in refining weapons. The large piece of the Sky-breaking Divine Stone he made is a suitable imitation in Wang Lun's mind.

Holding it in your hand, the touch of this imitation is very unusual. When you look at the surface, you can indeed see strange patterns under the surface of the imitation, which seems to be flowing. Of course, as long as you look closely, you can see that those patterns are out of touch with the entire "Divine Stone of Breaking the Sky" and are not perfectly integrated.

Wang Lun only needs imitations as replacements to use them, not to trade them directly with people. Now imitations are no different from genuine ones on the surface, which is enough.

When this imitation is large in size and needs to be replaced, Wang Lun can cut it with a simple flying sword in a very short time, and then the imitation can be cut and polished into something exactly the same as the real one.

Even if you can't refine weapons, Wang Lun can do this level of cutting and polishing without a teacher.

Wang Lun stayed in the Changsun family for a long time and used this time to specifically guide the cultivation of the monks in this family. It was also a kind of rebate. Then he said goodbye and left and quietly set off.

Without going back directly, Wang Lun first contacted Zhou Yuan and rushed to the place where he met. The base camp of the Wendou force was in Fansanzhou, and Zhou Yuan had been hiding here for more than half a year.

When we met again, Zhou Yuan looked similar to before and was in good condition. Wang Lun asked about the other party’s recent situation and then talked about the main business.

Before this meeting, the Wendou forces had almost no action, and together with the other two rebel forces, they were in a state of disappearance, so the matter had nothing to do with the next action. After all, there was actually no major action in the future.

Wang Lun will now give them some cultivation resources, but does not require the three forces to do anything. The significance of the three forces to Wang Lun is that he can pretend to be a person who suppresses the rebels in the future and let the three forces cooperate with him to act.

What we are talking about now is actually what he has to let Zhou Yuan know about his arrangements and plans in the future, which will also allow the other party to know part of his plans so that he will not feel that he is completely hidden in the fog.

After all, the two parties have a cooperative relationship, and he knows the other party’s trump card completely. If the other party thinks he is surrounded by clouds, if it is him, he will feel that he is unsure and will feel a little emotional.

In the past one or two years, in addition to working in the Time and Space City and striving to discover the secrets of the magic circles in the Time and Space City, he also wanted to go to the ghost world to find opportunities.

All these things can only be accomplished by him, and the three resistance forces of the three families cannot help for the time being.

This time, Wang Lun only met Zhou Yuan and did not meet the leaders of the other two forces. This was also agreed by Zhou Yuan. Even if the three forces are integrated now, it is best not to let others know about Wang Lun's existence.

After leaving Fansunzhou, Wang Lun returned to Yezhou and continued to practice next to the black box. He gave Hou Xiaowu twenty-five days, and it was not time to contact the other party to find the other party for the result.

...

On the sixth day, Hou Xiaowu met Guo Nanbei and only said a few words to the other side why he gave calligraphy and paintings, and did not talk to Guo Nanbei about any serious matters.

Through a brief exchange, Hou Xiaowu realized that Guo Nanbei did not take him seriously, and his attitude was: if he continued to give calligraphy and paintings, Guo Nanbei would accept it without any psychological burden. If he had to ask for any conditions, he would go wherever he loved, and Guo Nanbei would not pay attention to him.

This was not beyond Hou Xiaowu's expectations. Hou Xiaowu guessed that Guo Nanbei would do this.

On the seventh and eighth day, Hou Xiaowu gave a painting to the concierge for two consecutive days. He did not meet Guo Nanbei. On the eighth day, he asked the concierge to witness Guo Zhenren's style again.

Of course, the concierge's attitude is ambiguous, and it is still the same as before. If you accept things and make promises, there is no such thing.

However, on the ninth day, Hou Xiaowu took a painting to visit Guo Nanbei's mansion again. The concierge told him: Guo Zhenren is practicing and cannot arrange for him to meet with Zhenren today.

Then, the concierge calmly accepted the painting.

Hou Xiaowu also advanced his plan, and after receiving calligraphy and paintings in the doorman, he said to the other party: "Fellow Daoist Chen, I will be at the outer door in the next few days and there is no task to go out, so I have a lot of time. I also ask fellow Daoist to help me and arrange for me to meet with the real person. I can do it anytime, and I will be ready at any time for twelve hours a day."

The concierge felt that Hou Xiaowu was really humble, and he didn't take Hou Xiaowu seriously. He responded with a few perfunctory words.

Hou Xiaowu seemed to take it seriously and thanked him repeatedly before leaving.

"This man even gave calligraphy and paintings to the real person. Every time he came, he was humble. But he didn't know that being kind was useless. The real person didn't look at this person with a direct look."

After Hou Xiaowu left, the concierge secretly complained, thinking that Hou Xiaowu was making a fool.

The tenth day came, and the concierge continued to be on duty. At some point on that day, the concierge suddenly became energetic and would look forward from time to time.

It was almost time for Hou Xiaowu to come to deliver calligraphy and paintings. In the past, Hou Xiaowu almost came at this time for so many days, and the difference between the time before and after was no more than half a stick of incense.

However, this time, the gatekeeper had been waiting for an incense stick, but he had not seen Hou Xiaowu appear yet.

At first, the concierge thought that Hou Xiaowu had delayed something and would come soon, so he didn't think about other aspects. But half an hour later, the concierge began to guess whether Hou Xiaowu would not come today?

“

It doesn't make sense. He has been here so many days ago and is still very punctual. There is no reason not to come today?"

"Yesterday he told me that he would stay in Qizhen Pavilion General Pavilion these days, and there was no task to do business outside. He had to be free for twelve hours a day."

The concierge was not very concerned about this, but just thought it was strange, so after a while, Hou Xiaowu did not appear, and the concierge was too lazy to think about it.

If you don’t come, don’t come. Anyway, whether it’s him or Mr. Guo, it’s not that I can’t leave that Hou Xiaowu.

Soon, the guard gate mission that day was about to end. When it was dark, the gatekeeper said a few words to the person who was coming to change shifts, and officially ended the guard gate mission during the day and walked inside.

This mansion is the residence of Master Guo. In order to serve Master Guo, he, a chef and two servants, he lives in the side room of the mansion. As for the guards who switched to him, there was another residence. To put it bluntly, his status is not as high as him. He is a person that Master Guo can trust, and is equivalent to the housekeeper of this house, so the real man will let him live in the side room.

Before entering his side room, the concierge walked towards the place where Guo Nanbei lived as usual. If the other party was there and had not practiced, he would tell the other party what happened today. Even if nothing happened, he would have to pay a visit to Mr. Guo first before returning to his residence.

When he walked in, the doorman saw the lights on the side hall of Master Guo’s residence. Master Guo should be using dinner.

When I walked into the side hall, the doorman was waiting aside and reported to Mr. Guo who was having a meal: "Zhengren, there are three people who want to come in during the day to pay homage to the man, and they are... I have all declined, so there is nothing special about anything else."

He always tells long stories in daily reports. After all, he knows that Guo Nanbei doesn't like him and reports are useless.

"Didn't that Hou Xiaowu come?" Guo Nanbei asked.

The concierge noticed that the real person who was originally moving his chopsticks had stopped picking up food at this moment and was looking at him, as if he was quite concerned about the answer to this question.

"Qi Bi Zhenren, Hou Xiaowu didn't come today, and he told his subordinates yesterday that he hoped to witness the style of real people again. He should really want to see real people."

Guo Nanbei started to move his chopsticks again, picked up a dish with chopsticks, and before putting it into his mouth, he said: "If you haven't come, you haven't come, it's normal."

The concierge thought that the real person really didn't care about that Hou Xiaowu, so he said that it was normal for Hou Xiaowu to not come today. However, the concierge remembered that Hou Xiaowu had said something else to him yesterday.

"Real person, that Hou Xiaowu may just say beautiful words on his mouth. His heart is not sincere enough to meet the real person, because yesterday he told his subordinates that he would be in the General Pavilion these days and would not go out to perform tasks. He would wait any day. He was ready to come to see the real person at any time, but he did not come today."

The concierge thought that after he explained this, the real person would only sneer at Hou Xiaowu even more. After all, in his opinion, Hou Xiaowu is indeed like a clown and does something unrealistic. If he were Hou Xiaowu, he would have known for his long time that he would not be able to reach the real person's eyes and would not beg for the real person again and again.

"Well, I understand, you go back." Guo Nanbei waved his hand.

After the doorman left, Guo Nanbei's chopsticks did not move. Thinking about the doorman's words, it was still a bit strange that Hou Xiaowu did not come to give gifts today. Hou Xiaowu obviously had time but did not come. Could it be that he really chose to give up after asking for a visit to him several times but failed?
