Chapter 2332 Taming

The concierge arrived at Guo Nanbei's residence and reported after seeing the other party.

Guo Nanbei waved his hand and said, "Go and bring him here."

Hou Xiaowu is finally coming. Guo Nanbei's mood is a little fluctuating at this moment. When he sees the other party, he will at least question the other party.

The concierge took the order and left. He came to the gate and made a gesture of reaching out to Hou Xiaowu: "Fellow Daoist Hou, congratulations. The real person happened to have time and agreed to meet with the fellow Taoist."

Hou Xiaowu pretended to be very happy and looked flattered: "That's great, I'll go and pay homage to you now! Thank you, fellow Taoist Chen."

As he said that, Hou Xiaowu stepped into the gate.

The doorman's smile froze for a moment. I thought Hou Xiaowu would give him some benefits by saying thank you, but it didn't.

But he looked down on Hou Xiaowu himself, and was too lazy to mock the other party sarcastically. He led the way forward without looking back, nor did he talk to Hou Xiaowu.

When he arrived at Guo Nanbei's residence, the concierge took Hou Xiaowu in and left consciously.

Hou Xiaowu faced Guo Nanbei alone, immediately bent down and bowed, and his voice was pious: "Goured to Master Guo, Master Guo Hong Fu Qitian."

He lowered his head and maintained his respectful posture without changing.

"Sit down." Guo Nanbei shouted lazily. Seeing that the other party was coming with a scroll of calligraphy and paintings, he secretly said that the other party was quite sensible.

"Thank you, real person." Hou Xiaowu sat down at the bottom, only dared to sit half of his butt on the chair, with his back straight, looking restrained.

This is the second time Hou Xiaowu has come here to see the other person. Just like last time, he did not feel uncomfortable in the atmosphere, because Guo Nanbei did not deliberately release his breath to make him look good. However, even when facing Guo Nanbei who was unpretentious, Hou Xiaowu could clearly sense the powerful aura of the Nascent Soul cultivator.

The other party's aura is very strong and will be released unconsciously. When he faces the other party, he feels like the lowest servant who cleans up garbage in the outer door every day facing him.

"Real person, these are two calligraphy and paintings that Xiao specially chose. I don't know if they meet your choice. Please give it a taste."

Hou Xiaowu presented two scrolls and did a lot of effort. Today's one, plus the one he submitted yesterday, seemed to have come back from the past, and would keep his preference for Guo Nanbei every day, and would definitely give him a suitable calligraphy and painting every day.

"Your choice is certainly OK."

Guo Nanbei spoke very plainly. He took the two scrolls and just glanced at him, then put them next to him, and looked at Hou Xiaowu again, "Is there something wrong with fellow Daoist Hou yesterday?"

"It's okay, either..." Hou Xiaowu started acting. He was hesitant and seemed very hesitant, as if he had something to say but didn't dare to say it, and he wanted to say it but stopped.

Guo Nanbei could naturally see this, but pretended not to see it, and said with a slight deep meaning: "I like the calligraphy and paintings given by fellow Taoist Hou very much."

The implication is that since you, Hou Xiaowu, have the ability to send you a free painting every day, you will continue to do this in the future.

However, Guo Nanbei did not mention a word about the desire to speak before that Hou Xiaowu had shown.

"I want me still

Take the initiative to ask, so as to start the topic and get benefits from me?" Guo Nanbei thought in his heart, sneering disdainfully.

He wants to collect gifts, but he doesn't help him. It is best not to bother him without any trouble.

But Hou Xiaowu made full preparations before coming here. After Guo Nanbei finished saying that, he immediately grasped the "flaw" presented in the other party's words. He could be said to have forced the flaws. He stood up and bowed and said, "Thank you to the real person, you can appreciate it. It is a small honor for real person to like the calligraphy and paintings I gave me, but in the future, it will be difficult for me to come here every day. Real person, these are the other two calligraphy and paintings, and the two paintings I just presented, belong to the same series."

As Hou Xiaowu said, he took out two scrolls from the storage ring and handed them respectfully.

After Guo Nanbei took it, he put it next to him. Now there are four paintings next to his seat. For him who likes calligraphy and paintings, there are four calligraphy and paintings waiting for him to open and appreciate. He is really a little excited, especially when he heard from Hou Xiaowu that these four paintings actually belong to the same series.

But there was some content in what Hou Xiaowu said that he didn't like.

"Fellow Daoist will have something else to do in the future, so I will not come to pay homage to Mr. Guo again?"

Guo Nanbei knew that Hou Xiaowu had something to ask him for, but he still pretended not to know. Instead, he was using words to control the other party and raised a question that would make Hou Xiaowu very embarrassed.

But Hou Xiaowu was prepared for a long time, and he was not panicked at this moment. He shook his head very quickly: "Real person, Xiaodi must not mean that. Please explain to you in front of you."

"Okay, you say." Guo Nanbei thought to himself that even if Hou Xiaowu tells him something difficult and asks him for help, he will refuse. In short, Hou Xiaowu has a low status and is not worthy of dating him, and has low strength, so it is not worthy of his recruitment. So people like the other party are counting on getting benefits from him. Why should he pay the corresponding losses and give the benefits to the other party?

"Real person, that's right. Yesterday I had no task, so I went to the major treasure pavilions outside to find suitable calligraphy and paintings. After wandering around for most of the day, I really met a suitable one. The treasure pavilion opened by Songyulou in Baiyin City. The twelve landscape paintings collected in it are very good. It was a series. At that time, the young man thought that the real person would like the twelve paintings and asked to buy them, but the other party asked for a high price. My financial resources were far from meeting the requirements. But I really wanted to buy all the paintings, so I had to take out my cultivation items to mortgage them and let the other party give me some time to raise the spirit stones."

When Hou Xiaowu said this, he had not finished speaking yet, and Guo Nanbei interrupted Hou Xiaowu.

"So fellow Taoist Hou wants to take some of the spirit stones from me?"

Guo Nanbei thought he had finally found the purpose of Hou Xiaowu currying for him. The other party originally wanted spirit stones, and he invested a lot of money first, so the number of spirit stones he wanted to raise from him was definitely not a small amount.

"There is no such idea," Hou Xiaowu shook his head and explained, "The real person misunderstood the little one. Giving calligraphy and paintings to the real person is a very admirable person's style. There is no reason to let the real person invest in spirit stones. At that time, the little one took out the cultivation items and mortgaged them, and then bought four of them with my remaining spirit stones. There are eight of them left in Songyu Building. The other party only gave me three days. Originally, the other party was willing to collect the spirit stones within three days, but something happened to happen to the other party, which changed the other party's mind."

Hou Xiaowu continues to go down

As he said, "At that time, the Pavilion Master received me, a shopkeeper from this treasure pavilion came to report and mentioned that the Songyulou Bao pavilion was going to expand its business. I revealed my identity at that time. Only by telling the Pavilion Master my identity can the other party leave me the remaining eight paintings for four more days. I don't know what the Pavilion Master thought. After listening to the shopkeeper's report, he directly made a request to me."

When Hou Xiaowu said this, he deliberately paused to see if his story had already aroused Guo Nanbei's interest.

But Guo Nanbei was not an ordinary person after all, and his expression was as normal as he did not urged Hou Xiaowu to continue to talk about it.

When Hou Xiaowu arrived at this time, he became calm. After all, success or failure is here. He felt that the content he compiled should be credible and must not reveal his flaws first.

So Hou Xiaowu paused for a moment and immediately continued to talk.

"The Pavilion Master proposed that if I came forward to tell them some information that outsiders in Qizhen Pavilion did not know much, and they would compile a book based on these contents. As long as the quality was qualified, they would be willing to give me all the remaining eight paintings for free. Moreover, the other party's requirements were not too strict. As long as the content I told was enough, it would be fine, and my content did not need to involve the real secrets of Qizhen Pavilion."

"And the real person must also know that the little one is just an ordinary deacon in the outer sect of Qizhen Pavilion, and he is not qualified to master the real secrets of Qizhen Pavilion. So after thinking about it, he felt that when he returned to Qizhen Pavilion, he found more people to learn about the interesting novel content of Qizhen Pavilion. It is entirely possible that the remaining eight paintings can be taken out without having to produce spirit stones and continue to give them to the real person. Xiaoya agreed to the pavilion master."

"Now the other party gave Xiao a two choice. Within three days, either collect the required spirit stones or provide qualified content. However, after Xiao came back yesterday, including until today, before coming to see you, Xiao was asking for help. But Xiao discovered a big problem that could not be solved at all. I am afraid that there would be no way to provide curious content that satisfies Songyulou Bao Pavilion within three days, so Xiao was only talking to the real person before..."

Hou Xiaowu had previously told Guo Nanbei that from tomorrow, he might not be able to come to see Guo Nanbei every day. He had difficulties. Now, Hou Xiaowu told him the difficulties: he no longer had spirit stones, and he could not exchange them for eight paintings from Songyu Tower by selling novel content.

This is his difficulty.

Hou Xiaowu thought that he had already expressed the difficulties very clearly.

The implicit intentions inside are also clearly displayed.

Guo Nanbei will definitely understand.

If Guo Nanbei still wants to get calligraphy and paintings from him for free, Guo Nanbei will definitely at least take the initiative to ask what novel content he needs to collect about Qizhen Pavilion?

Hou Xiaowu estimated that Guo Nanbei should have asked on his own initiative.

It's like taming a spirit beast. The spirit beast was used to getting delicious food from its owner before, but now it suddenly found that the owner did not provide delicious food anymore. But as long as the spirit beast does something for its owner, such as taking advantage of the spirit beast's own characteristics of climbing trees and picking some fruits from the fruit trees on the edge of the cliff, it can continue to obtain delicious food in the future. Then the spirit beast will definitely act according to the owner's instructions.
