Over The World, Beyond Heaven

"And here are another two hundred thousand Eternal Coins! With that, we can go in, right?"

Zheng-Fu ignored the guard's expression. He handed over another two hundred thousand Eternal Coins, totaling three hundred thousand Eternal Coins for the entrance fee.

Err…

"Yes…, you can go in, sir!"

The guard's expression immediately changed. He knew that the young man in front of him was not an ordinary person, as he had thought. If he continued to be rude, his head would surely come off his shoulders. Even though it was his manager's order, he would rather be punished than die.

Good!

"Then get out of the way. My time is limited. And if this shop doesn't have anything interesting… huh!"

Zheng-Fu felt angrier and more dissatisfied. He wanted to let the matter go, but since the other party would not let it go and chose to play with him like this, he would not save face for them either.

Ye… yes, sir!

Pheeeew!

'This is bad! I have to quickly report to the manager!'

After Zheng-Fu and the two men in black robes walked into the shop, the guard at the entrance immediately went to report what had happened to his shop manager, informing him that the young man in the Mou Clan's notice was not an ordinary person that they could mess with.

A few minutes later, in an office on the top floor of the building where Heavenly Treasure Clouds Hall was located...

"What did you say? That man's protectors are the utmost Deity Monarch Stage cultivators?"

In the luxurious office of Heavenly Treasure Clouds Hall, a white-haired man exclaimed in shock and worry after hearing the report from the guard at the entrance, whom he had sent to handle Zheng-Fu under Mou Clan's orders.

"Yes, sir, manager. I'm sure that both of his protectors are cultivators of that level. Now, what should we do, sir? Judging from his look, this young man is not ordinary either."

In fact, he was not a guard, but the right-hand man of the Heavenly Treasure Clouds Hall manager, who was ordered to disguise himself as a guard at the entrance to deal with Zheng-Fu.

"I don't know either. I can't decide on such a big matter. Then we should inform Boss to handle it," the manager said anxiously. He had a lot of power in Heavenly Treasure Clouds Hall, but the one with the highest authority was the shop owner, who was not there at that time. However, that matter was too big for the shop manager to decide, so he had to report what happened to the big boss.

But suddenly...

Flap!

"I know everything. You don't have to send anyone to report to me. But what I really want to know is, are you working for Heavenly Treasure Clouds Hall or the Mou Clan?"

Ah!!!

Boss!!!

A woman walked into the office, sat down in the manager's chair in the middle of the room, and spoke in a solemn voice.

Thump!

"I was wrong! Because Mou Clan sent someone to threaten me, I… I had to do what they asked. Moreover… from the data I had obtained, the target seemed to be just an ordinary person. But I didn't expect that he would..."

"Have such an extraordinary background, right?"

Yes, Boss!

"How long have you worked with my clan? You should know that you should send someone to investigate the background of the target first, not choose to act immediately like this. So how is it? This time, you got our Heavenly Treasure Clouds Hall caught in the middle of a conflict between two powerful people. If the other party takes action, do you think our Heavenly Treasure Clouds Hall can still stay in this city?"

The female shop owner spoke in a cold tone, emitting killing intent as she looked at the shop manager. Because what he did had put her Heavenly Treasure Clouds Hall in a difficult situation.

Sigh!

"Well, let it be! By the way, do you know which item that young man is looking for?"

Since it had already happened, Boss Lady, like her, had to let it go and find a way to resolve it. But first, she had to find out what Zheng-Fu wanted so that she could provide it to him and use that opportunity to clear up the misunderstanding that had occurred with her Heavenly Treasure Clouds Hall.

"I don't know either," the shop manager shook his head helplessly, before continuing. "But from the data I got, he has visited dozens of antique shops. I think he must be looking for some antique treasure."

Hmm...

"Never mind! Since you don't know, just welcome him well and make him satisfied with our service. And you mustn't displease him. No, wait! I'll take care of this matter myself. You go to arrange for our staff to collect all the great items we have from our main shop and all the other branches."

The young woman sighed once more. At first, she planned to have the manager prepare the best service for Zheng-Fu to ensure his satisfaction. However, after thinking it over, she decided that she would go to welcome Zheng-Fu herself so that she could be close to him and better understand his needs.

Back to Zheng-Fu…

After Zheng-Fu entered the Heavenly Treasure Clouds Hall and started browsing the goods, Boss Lady, who was the prettiest among the women he had met, suddenly approached him.

"Welcome, sir, Young Master. I'm a sales staff member here. Our manager knew about our guard being rude to you just now, so..."

"You don't have to be so polite. I think you're a person with a position no less than the manager of Heavenly Treasure Clouds Hall. Maybe you're even the owner of this place!"

Hah!

However, before the woman could finish speaking, Zheng-Fu waved his hand lightly and spoke in a serious tone. He knew that the woman in front of him was not an employee of the shop. No salesgirl could be so beautiful and so talented as she was. So, there were only a few possibilities. One of them was that this woman must be in a high position, possibly the manager of Heavenly Treasure Clouds Hall or even its owner.

"Oh, Young Master, you're so smart. You can tell from just one glance that I'm not an employee. So to show my sincerity, I won't hide anything from you. I'm actually the owner of Heavenly Treasure Clouds Hall!" Boss Lady was slightly startled when Zheng-Fu figured her out. But she soon regained her composure. Before she formally introduced herself.

"So, you're Boss Lady of Heavenly Treasure Clouds Hall! Nice to meet you," Zheng-Fu said with a nod of understanding. Then he continued, "What business do you have with me, Boss Lady? Or are you here to charge me an additional entrance fee?" Even though the other party was a woman, it did not change Zheng-Fu's feelings towards what had just happened, so his words were harsh and unfriendly.

"No, not at all! That was Heavenly Treasure Clouds Hall's fault. My people did it without consulting me first, which led to such a disgraceful incident. So… I come to personally welcome you to apologize and compensate you for what happened just now! And you don't have to call me Boss Lady. Just call me Su-Ying-Er, Young Master."

Boss Lady quickly explained and tried to act as intimately as possible with Zheng-Fu. She understood that if it were her, she would feel bad as well. Although money was not a big deal, humiliating and disrespecting was not something that could be easily forgiven.

"Boss Lady, you're too polite. I think it's good that I'm calling you that. I'm just a passerby who thought your shop had some interesting items. Once I get what I want, I'll leave. We probably won't see each other again. So, you don't have to be so polite to me!"

However, Zheng-Fu was still stubborn and did not do as Su-Ying-Er asked at all. He kept his distance even though the other party was sincere and really wanted to apologize to him. That was because he did not want to drag anyone into his problems. If he were close to that Boss Lady, the Mou Clan might target her and her Heavenly Treasure Clouds Hall.

However, as if Su-Ying-Er could read Zheng-Fu's mind, she telepathically said to Zheng-Fu, 'I know what you're thinking. You must be worried that my Heavenly Treasure Clouds Hall and I will be trapped in the conflict between you and the Mou Clan, right?'

"That's right, Boss Lady. You're very good at guessing. I'm worried about that. It's an issue between me and Mou Clan, so I think we shouldn't be too close." Zheng-Fu did not show any surprise or panic at her telepathic message. He simply replied to Su-Ying-Er in the normal way.

"Actually, you're kinder than you look. Then, should we change the place to a more private place to talk? It seems that this place is not very convenient for talking," Su-Ying-Er said with a meaningful smile on the corner of her mouth. Before she glanced at a man to tell him to prepare a special reception room for Zheng-Fu and his two mysterious followers.

In a special reception room of Heavenly Treasure Clouds Hall...

"Please come inside, Young Master..."

"My name is Zheng-Fu, you can call me that."

"Young Master Zheng-Fu and Master Elders, please come in and drink some tea first." Before getting down to business, Su-Ying-Er invited Zheng-Fu and the two mysterious men to drink the tea she had specially prepared to show her sincerity. "This is 'Misty Cloud Blooming Tea', the most exquisite tea in this city. Not only is it fragrant and refreshing, it also has an effect on the energy in the body."

"Thank you, Miss Su-Ying-Er, for the exquisite tea. But the two of them won't drink it because they don't like to drink tea. I have to apologize on their behalf!" Zheng-Fu accepted Boss Lady Su-Ying-Er's good wishes. However, he had to apologize on behalf of his followers for not being able to drink tea. It was because the clone figures were no different from the manipulated spirit dolls, except that they had more intelligence in thinking.

"It's fine, Young Master Zheng-Fu. Just you accepting me is already great!" Su-Ying-Er waved her hands to indicate that she did not think too much. Because, in reality, she did not have any hopes or specific goals. She just did not want to be used as a tool and have conflicts with good people.

"By the way, Miss Su, do you have something to talk to me about?"

After chatting nonsense for a while, Zheng-Fu immediately got straight to the point. He knew that Su-Ying-Er definitely did not invite him in to talk about something ordinary.
