Chapter 4163 Finding Out More
“We’ll talk about it later,” the Guild Master said as he quickly walked out of the room.
Du Fan sat outside until he saw the woman and the old man coming quickly.
“Young Master, this is our Guild Master,” the woman said, thinking that she was telling the Guild Master that this was the Young Master, but she was pushed aside by the Guild Master.
“Young Master, let’s talk inside!” The Guild Master made a gesture of invitation and invited him to come in.
“Alright,” Du Fan nodded slightly and smiled at the woman, “Thank you, young lady.” Then he walked inside.
The woman’s face turned red, and she walked back to the counter in a daze and sat down, lost in thought…
Inside, in the hall, several elders had not yet left. When they saw the Guild Master return, and also with a young man holding a fan, they could not help but stare at each other.
“Why are you still here? Go back first!” The Guild Master saw that they were stunned for a moment and asked them to leave first.
When they heard his words, the elders stood up and wanted to ask, but looking at the Guild Master’s expression, they finally did not speak the words in their hearts but said, “Then we will go down first, and we will talk about what happened just now later.” With that, they left.
After inviting Du Fan to sit down, serving tea, and dismissing the servants, only the Guild Master and Du Fan were left in the hall. At this time, Du Fan said, “I’m sorry to bother you.”
“No, no. Not at all.” The Guild Master said, looked at him, and took out the paper and asked, “Young Master, what do these four characters mean, the Sovereign Ruler?” In fact, he had a guess in his heart, but he just wanted to be sure.
Du Fan smiled and said, “I haven’t introduced myself yet. My surname is Du, and my given name is Fan. My Master is the Ghost Doctor Feng Jiu, and this continent, which was only recently named the Sovereign Ruler, is now called Qi Kang, one of the eight guards under my Master.
Hearing this, the Guild Master’s heart began to beat wildly. His hand holding the tea trembled slightly. He quickly drank some tea to calm himself down, then put the tea down, took a deep breath, and then asked, “I wonder what Young Master Du is here for?”
“Guild Master, don’t be alarmed. I came here today to ask you about something.” Du Fan smiled, his words gentle, and the Guild Master’s heart gradually calmed down.
“Oh, I see! Then what would Young Master Du like to know? I will tell you everything I know.” He said quickly.
“I want to ask, you are in the Verdant Enchanted City, which is closer to the Verdant Enchanted Forest, and the Mercenary Guild should have more knowledge with regards to the forest. Have you heard of the news about the Ancient Nine Tails Spirit Fox?”
On hearing this, the Guild Master paused for a moment: “The Ancient Nine Tails Spirit Fox?”
He paused for a moment and said, “I have heard of it, but I have never seen it. The mercenaries of the Guild also go on missions into the Verdant Enchanted Forest, but the hiding place of the Ancient Nine Tails Spirit Fox must be deep in the Verdant Enchanted Forest, the most dangerous place. That kind of place is not accessible to ordinary people, so we have only heard that the Ancient Nine Tails Spirit Fox has appeared in the Verdant Enchanted Forest, but we don’t know where it appeared or whether it is still there.
“However, I do know that the w.a.n.g Family, one of the eight great families in the city, once took a team of their clan into the Verdant Enchanted Forest to look for medicine. I heard that the Old Predecessor of the w.a.n.g Family had seen the Ancient Nine Tails Spirit Fox, but I’m not sure if that’s true.”
