74 Chapter 74: Small Harvest
Back in the study, Nangong Jiang was furious!
Boom!!
He smacked his table in anger, 'Nothing went as planned!!'
At this time, the light green robed Shen Cao Tei rushed into the study in a disheveled manner.
"My Lord!"
Upon hearing this sound, Nangong Jiang squinted at the young man dangerously.
Shen Cao Tei shivered like a willow leaf, feeling cold sweat on his back, he fell on his back with so much force that anyone could hear his bones creaking loudly, "Master, this little one didn't say a word to him, I ne..."
Without letting Shen Cao Tei finish, Nangong Jiang snorted dismissively while saying, "Hmph, I know, you don't have the guts".
He looked at the brocade box for a second before adding, "But It seems we have a rat in my City Lord mansion, prepare to head back"
"Yes!"
______________
At the same time, all sorts of speculations were going on and the members of the Lu and Wu family followed after the Huang family patriarch, no one knows what they were thinking.
Cui Shu Lan on the other hand looked towards the direction Nangong Jiang left before turning towards Patriarch Bai who was laughing and gossiping with the other members of the dark clans.
"Master" a yellow robed warrior quickly approached Cui Shu Lan and whispered, "Young Master Sun is dead..."
This news changed his complexion, he looked at the warrior and asked, "who?"
"We don't know, but the deacon is furious!!, There's no news from our people, so I'm guessing they're already dead... the Gu family are really dangerous" the warrior's voice ended up croaking at the end of his sentence, obviously stunned.
Cui Shu Lan frowned before glaring at the man, "Get out of my sight, find out what really happened there... I don't have you here to tell me who's dangerous and who's not.... Hmph".
He flicked his sleeves aggressively before heading towards the boathouse.
Unaware of the sneers he was getting from behind.

Tianmu Inn,
It was already deep in the evening since the explosion earlier, accompanied with the giant roaring snake, the Sun Desert Yanmen officers have been busy setting up some equipments in the Northern square of the City, and it looked like they were going to have some kind of celebration banquet.
Obviously an attempt to distract people's attention on the matter.
In the tea house, a young man chugged down a cup of wine, seated on his right side, a woman was sipping tea indifferently.
Looking at their attire, you could already guess that they were wealthy civilians.
"Well, this Gu family are really getting outrageous, City Lord Jiang is so powerful, why doesn't he just take action directly to suppress this Gu Clan's patriarch." The woman suddenly said with a frown, she placed her tea cup on the table heavily.
bang!
The shopkeeper at the next table accidentally dropped a silver tael she was counting and made a shocked sound.
She quickly cleared her throat while glaring at the lady.
The young man didn't seem to be affected by the lady's actions and said, "I also wonder what the city lord is doing. He's setting up meetings? It would be great if I had half his strength, I'll kick the Gu family out immediately." The young man put some pastries in his mouth on the table and looked up at the woman.
And the people at the side table looked at the two with contempt.
"Hmph, you young people don't know shit, have you even seen the Gu patriarch? Look I happened to have seen him during the previous Changfeng Merchant House auction, let me tell you... You can't even look at his shoes directly."
The shopkeeper was just handing over some snacks at the next table and said, "I heard he's very handsome".
A flat faced monk almost knocked over the meal he just ordered, seeing her expression.
"Amitabha, donor, don't you think you are being strange?"
"Your father is strange, your family ..."
"I need Tea!"
"Yes!, I'm coming... hmph" glaring at the monk, she walked towards the customer who called.
This time, a middle aged man cultivator suddenly said to his companions, "That's right, I heard the Gu Clan has connections with the puppet issue. Do you think we can sell this information? Hehehe."
A shop assistant who just happened to be cleaning up the table next to them, heard this and his eyes flashed with greed.
Naturally, Xin Xing and Lin Huang seated in a corner heard this, they looked at each other before nodding.
They quickly paid and left...
After a few breaths, they began investigation...
. . . . . .
This kind of situation is often seen in {Iron Crow City.}, Different kinds of rumors and discussions were circulating
After all, this was the only form of entertainment they had, unsurprisingly, players in the city also got wind of it and began investigating, hoping to get a quest.
Meanwhile, the people who happen to be objects of their evening discussion had finally retired for the evening.
Upon arrival, Gu Lin Fang walked towards the pavilion, the sound of his knocking on the cobbled floor rang across the tranquil path.
Behind him was the cloaked puppet of Xu Wu Qong, It carried the unconscious patriarchs on its shoulders as they battled the poison in their body.
Gu Lin Fang glanced at their facial expressions and was suddenly in a good mood, perhaps the hatred the previous owner of his body had for this people, had been passed on to him.
"Wei Fan" Gu Lin Fang suddenly called out, the mortal butler hurried his steps from behind 'Xu Wu Qong' and said, "Lord Patriarch".
Wearing a thoughtful expression, he gave Gu Wei Fan an order, "Bring me the chains from the dungeons".
"As you order..." Although he said this, He didn't move, which puzzled Gu Lin Fang.
"If you have something to say, say it, stop dilly-dallying like a child"
"Ah yes... Uhm Young Master Bei He, brought in a few 'guests' and they're presently in the dungeon" As he spoke, he seemed to be thinking of what to say.
But Gu Lin Fang didn't mind, his mind was on another point "How many?"
"Two"
Gu Lin Fang sneered as he continued moving towards his original destination, "Ho? He's quite fast, looks like he's really desperate to live... alright let me know when he has three ready, right, did my son's disciple bring any items for me?".
For some reason, Wei Fan looked confused, "Disciple?".
"The red haired kid... Jiang Qin"
"Yes!, Actually, I have already placed them in your pavilion, right... my Lord, earlier, Lord Ji Hung caught a rat who tried to sneak into your pavilion".
Somewhat surprised, Gu Lin Fang frowned before giving instructions, "Call the Elder and get the chains, we'll take care of the rest later".
"Yes".

Hearing that he received a thousand year old frigid ice toad, Gu Lin Fang couldn't help smiling, because this was an important component for making one of the Gu he had in mind, the Yin-yang Gu.
In this way, the three main materials for refining this Gu are now in hand.
