Chapter 264: Yun Mansion, A Change in the Banquet

Returning to Meilong Town under the cover of night, no accidents occurred, and they arrived at the next day without any waves.

Chu Danqing, who had been reading books all night, went out on time and looked up to see the plump Sun Dashou clumsily sweeping the floor with a broom.

"Your injuries haven't healed yet, why are you working on the ground?" Chu Danqing asked.

Sun Dashou said with a smile: "I drank the medicine yesterday, and I feel much better."

"I owe Shopkeeper Li so much money; the sooner I work, the sooner I can pay it back."

Hearing this, Chu Danqing said: "If you don't mind, I can treat you; maybe there will be a turning point."

The other party was conscious and had no intersection with him, so treatment must be clearly asked for the other party's willingness.

"No need, I know my own situation." Sun Dashou refused; he didn't think Chu Danqing could cure him.

"Try it, it doesn't cost money anyway." Chu Danqing persuaded him again; saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.

He didn't know who this Sun Dashou was before, but his current performance was very steady and diligent.

"Thank you, but no need to trouble yourself; I know what I'm doing." Sun Dashou felt exceptionally relaxed in this Dragon-Phoenix Inn at this moment.

Even though he was now reduced to someone who swept the floor and did odd jobs, he was much happier than before.

The people around him weren't showing hypocritical respect, but genuine kindness.

"Fine." Chu Danqing had already said it twice; since the other party didn't want it, then forget it.

He respected the other party's choice.

Afterwards, he chatted with Sun Dashou for a few words; the running assistant's face turned green when he saw Sun Dashou sweeping the floor.

He naturally knew Sun Dashou's true situation, so he ran over and snatched the broom away.

"Your injuries haven't healed yet, why are you on the ground?" The running assistant was furious: "If the shopkeeper sees you, it will be another round of scolding."

The reason he was angry was naturally because Sun Dashou didn't know what was good for him; what if something happened and he died in the lobby?

After some lecturing, he sent Sun Dashou back to the back guest room to rest.

"Assistant, help me deliver a visiting card to the Yun Mansion on the next street." Chu Danqing said, taking a card and writing on it.

"Don't worry, I will definitely deliver this card." The running assistant had never done this before, but he knew where the Yun Mansion was.

"Don't be in such a hurry; you haven't taken the errand fee yet." Chu Danqing grabbed the assistant who was running out and gave him a tip.

It wasn't much money, but it was relatively generous for a running assistant.

If you want the horse to run, you have to let the horse eat grass; how can you do a good job otherwise?

The assistant was naturally happy, and his mood looked different.

Before long, he returned, panting.

"Master, I have delivered the card for you." The assistant took the money and specifically instructed the gatekeeper when delivering the card, indicating that Chu Danqing and Yang Qianyuan were not simple people and must be taken seriously.

"Fine, thank you for the trouble." Chu Danqing replied politely.

By around nine in the morning, Chu Danqing received a reply from the Yun Mansion.

It stated that they would host a banquet for Chu Danqing in the evening.

It was mainly because the process was correct, and the overall appearance and style of the visiting card were not something an ordinary person could possess, so the Yun Mansion took it seriously.

Chu Danqing had different ways of dealing with people at different levels.

He couldn't just copy it rigidly, not to mention he was asking for help.

The necessary etiquette couldn't be missing.

Time flew by until the afternoon; he told Li Fengjie that they were going to the Yun Mansion for a banquet and asked if she wanted to go.

The Yun Mansion was a wealthy family, so the food and drink must be extraordinary; sponging a meal didn't count for much.

Li Fengjie was also surprised; she didn't expect Chu Danqing to become a guest of honor at the Yun Mansion after only one day.

However, she also knew her situation and refused directly.

Chu Danqing and the others were definitely going to the Yun Mansion to handle matters; if she went and ruined things, that wouldn't be good.

Since Li Fengjie wasn't going, Chu Danqing didn't force it.

He took some gifts from his storage space that looked very precious but were actually modern industrial art pieces and went to visit.

The head of the Yun Mansion, Yun Shan, received them personally; after self-introduction and pleasantries, they entered the banquet.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about right, Chu Danqing thought about asking to purchase the spirit beast Concentric Lotus Seed.

However, he saw a Yun Mansion servant run in hurriedly and whisper something in Yun Shan's ear.

Yun Shan's face immediately turned gloomy.

"Excuse me, two gentlemen, the old man has something to deal with." After hearing this, Yun Shan apologized and left the banquet.

Chu Danqing didn't even have time to ask if there was anything he could help with before the person went out.

"What's the situation?" Chu Danqing asked Yang Qianyuan, who was sitting beside him.

"I just performed a slight heavenly calculation; it seems to be some minor disaster, and the Yun Mansion can solve it themselves." Just as Yang Qianyuan finished speaking.

Noisy sounds came from outside.

And these sounds had a trend of intensifying.

"Let's go, let's take a look." Chu Danqing stood up decisively, took Yang Qianyuan, and headed toward the source of the sound.

Their speed wasn't slow, and they soon arrived at the scene.

The first thing they saw were the servants scattered around and Yun Shan, who was injured and fell to the ground.

A middle-aged man with a fair face and no beard was fighting with a person dressed as a servant.

"It's the Blood Handprint and the Heaven-Reaching White Python." Yang Qianyuan recognized the spirit beasts used by both sides.

The middle-aged man's spirit beast was relatively special, a spirit beast with dual attributes of the soldier-armor system and the blood system.

Therefore, the middle-aged man's hands were covered with ferocious hand armor, and the battle was filled with blood energy.

The other person dressed as a servant was cooperating with a large, snow-white python, but in the end, he was still inferior to the other party and was beaten back steadily.

"Are you alright, Mr. Yun?" Chu Danqing helped Yun Shan up and let Bai Bai treat him.

Bai Bai stared intently at the Heaven-Reaching White Python; after all, it was a white snake, and it looked like its own kind.

After the middle-aged man repelled the youth dressed as a servant with one strike, disdain appeared in his expression.

"Tang Ziwei, Prince Ning has summoned you, but you pretend to be crazy and stupid and hide here as a servant, heh." The middle-aged man sneered.

It was clear he recognized this servant youth.

"Black-Print Old Monster, you can walk on the street swaggeringly under Prince Ning's summons; I, as a servant, am far better than going to be a staff member for Prince Ning." Tang Ziwei retreated several steps before stabilizing his figure.

At the same time, Chu Danqing discovered that he had actually activated a side mission.

【Side Mission: Kill Black-Print Old Monster within 1 hour】

【Trial Difficulty: B-Rank (Warrior)】

【Trial Reward: Paradise Points ×5000, Attribute Points +3】

【Trial Failure: Paradise Points -10000】

The difficulty wasn't high, just B-Rank; Da Bao could solve it.

Now that it wasn't A-Rank, he didn't even need Guo Ming and Xiong Zhigang to take action.

And Yun Shan, as the person in charge, had shock appear in his expression.

What shocked him wasn't the Black-Print Old Monster, but Tang Ziwei.

"Yun Shan, I'll say it again: Prince Ning asking your daughter to go to the 'Qunfang Pu' is a blessing for your Yun family."

"I'll only give you one day to consider, otherwise... heh, Prince Ning is benevolent, but I, Black-Print, will not show mercy." After Black-Print Old Monster finished speaking, he spat and planned to leave.

But Chu Danqing had already accepted the mission; you say you want to leave, then who is he supposed to ask for his 10,000 Paradise Points?

"Since you've come, you might as well stay." While Chu Danqing spoke, Da Bao activated its Sharp Claws, turned into a blood shadow, and lunged toward Black-Print Old Monster.

Black-Print Old Monster's strength was similar to the Blood-Evil Yaksha King from before.

But because Black-Print Old Monster had no Yaksha Soldiers or Yaksha Generals to help, and was just one person, the mission difficulty was only B-Rank.

If he had only dealt with the monk Fei and the Blood-Evil Yaksha King back then, the difficulty wouldn't have reached A-Rank.

"A mere..." Black-Print Old Monster also sensed Da Bao's offensive and turned to respond immediately.

The hand armor formed by the Blood Handprint clashed with Da Bao's sharp claws.

The next moment, the claws sank into his hand armor; if he hadn't reacted quickly and activated the Blood Handprint's ability to stop it, the sharp claws would have pierced his skin and gone deep into his flesh and bones.

However, even so, it left obvious claw marks on his skin.

"You..." Black-Print Old Monster still wanted to say something, but Da Bao didn't care.

Although Da Bao's five claws were stuck on the Blood Handprint's hand armor, it had feet.

There were actually claws on its feet, but it didn't usually use them.

It directly learned from a kangaroo and did a jump-kick.

Black-Print Old Monster's scalp went numb, and he retreated without hesitation, letting go of the Blood Handprint's obstruction.

But he was a step too slow. The clothes on his chest were torn open by Da Bao's foot claws, leaving ten large holes.

However, Black-Print Old Monster had no time to care about these now and turned to run.

It was because he retreated quickly just now; otherwise, if the foot claws had landed on him, he would have been disemboweled on the spot.

The Da Bao of now was not the Da Bao at the back mountain of Xuanyuan Temple back then.

With 30 attributes and skill levels, plus a bloodline concentration that reached 3%, its strength wasn't earth-shattering, but it was far from what it was back then.

Black-Print Old Monster didn't even have time to run two steps before Da Bao caught up and pierced through the other party with its claws.

As for his hand armor, the Blood Handprint, it was grabbed by Da Bao and kneaded into a ball.

An excellent-tier treasure chest appeared on the corpse.

This made Chu Danqing feel a bit melancholy; why was it settled again?

If it could be accumulated, how good would that be?

As for the mission, it was also completed simultaneously.

【Mission complete, you have obtained: Paradise Points ×5000, Attribute Points +3】

A combat-type B-Rank mission had no difficulty for him anymore, and he didn't even need his allies to help.

The battle ended so quickly that Yun Shan and Tang Ziwei were filled with shock.

After all, one was directly injured, and the other was beaten back; neither of them was a match for Black-Print Old Monster.

And here at Chu Danqing's, Black-Print Old Monster didn't even have the power to fight back.

It was just that Chu Danqing felt that Tang Ziwei's shock seemed to be faked?

His expression and performance looked a bit strange; could it be that he was hiding his strength?

After all, from Black-Print Old Monster's mouth, he learned that Tang Ziwei, in order to refuse Prince Ning's summons, not only pretended to be crazy and stupid but also hid his identity to work as a servant.

Someone who could be summoned by a powerful vassal king, could they be an ordinary person?
