250: Chapter 250 Li Haocang's Initiative

After seeing Lin Ming, a middle-aged man took the initiative to approach him.

"And you are?"

Lin Ming glanced at the middle-aged man and asked.

"I am Gu Chongli of the Gu Family. By the Old Ancestor's order, I have cleared out the inn, leaving only you and your companions, as well as that esteemed guest."

Gu Chongli said with a respectful expression.

The Gu Family Old Ancestor.

Lin Ming finally remembered at this moment.

How could he have forgotten that person?

Although that person didn't share the Gu Family Bloodline, he was no different from a member of the Gu Family now.

The Gu Family of Tianyun, as the overlord of Tianyun City, had two Nirvana Realm powerhouses presiding over it.

It was just that one of those Nirvana Realm cultivators did not have the surname Gu.

Ancestor Li Haocang, City Lord Gu Qinghe's Disciple and a Nirvana Realm cultivator.

At the same time, he was also Revered Master's pursuer.

According to what Lin Ming had heard, when Revered Master was traveling abroad long ago, she might have met Ancestor Li Haocang by chance, and he began to pursue her.

But what kind of person was his Revered Master?

She was someone who pursued the Great Dao.

To her, matters of love and romance were nothing but fleeting clouds. Thus, as expected, Ancestor Li Haocang was rejected outright, just like most of Revered Master's other pursuers.

According to an unnamed Peak Revered Master, Revered Master used to have quite a few pursuers. As for why Lin Ming hadn't seen any now...

After so many years, those who should be in the ground were already in the ground.

Although Ancestor Li Haocang had been rejected many times, he still couldn't forget Revered Master.

He had even personally gone to Yuanxu Mountain to propose to Revered Master after his Breakthrough to the Nirvana Realm.

The result was that he returned without even seeing Revered Master's face.

Because of this person's persistence, Revered Master basically never came to Tianyun City.

Therefore, Lin Ming was still very shocked when he learned that Revered Master was bringing them to Tianyun City.

What on earth could have caused Revered Master, who didn't want to see Ancestor Li Haocang, to take the initiative to come to Tianyun City?

"I understand."

Lin Ming nodded.

Their whereabouts had probably been leaked shortly after they arrived.

Although Revered Master had entered wearing a mask, Lin Ming hadn't. With a little effort, they could likely be tracked down.

This kind of matter was best left for Revered Master to handle herself.

However, Ancestor Li Haocang would most likely be given the cold shoulder once again.

Lin Ming then went upstairs and arrived at Revered Master's door.

Before he could knock, the door opened automatically, and Lin Ming walked inside.

"Revered Master, this pursuer of yours is truly persistent."

Lin Ming teased with a smile.

In response, Master Yun Hua only glanced at Lin Ming before turning her head to look out the window at the deep blue starry sky.

"Revered Master, so what is our purpose for coming here this time?"

Lin Ming asked.

Actually, he didn't care much about Revered Master's goals, but this time it involved her not even minding the possibility of running into someone she disliked.

That made things a bit interesting.

"You will know when the time comes."

Master Yun Hua looked at Lin Ming and said.

Speaking in riddles again.

Lin Ming's lips twitched slightly at this.

He turned around and left immediately; there was no need to spend the afternoon chatting with this bargain Revered Master of his, as he likely wouldn't get any useful information.

He might as well go back and sleep.

Gu Family

"Old Ancestor, they have come looking for us again."

Gu Bo looked at the young man before him, a trace of solemnity appearing on his face.

"A bunch of lunatics. There's no need to pay them any mind."

City Lord Gu Qinghe said with a calm expression.

To set their sights on that thing again, these people have truly gone mad.

If it were in the past, he might have played along with them to gain some benefits.

But things were different now; playing with those fellows might even end up costing him his own life.

City Lord Gu Qinghe naturally wouldn't do something so foolish.

"Yes, Old Ancestor."

Gu Bo nodded.

"By the way, Old Ancestor, Old Ancestor Yun Hua of Yuanxu Mountain has arrived in Tianyun City, and Old Ancestor Li has already gone there."

Gu Bo said.

City Lord Gu Qinghe nodded slightly.

He had always supported Ancestor Li Haocang's pursuit of Old Ancestor Yun Hua.

If the two of them could become Dao Companions, it would be the best possible thing for the Gu Family.

The Gu Family would gain another backer.

However, Old Ancestor Yun Hua had never shown any interest in Ancestor Li Haocang, even though he pursued her relentlessly.

This made City Lord Gu Qinghe feel that the two of them might not work out.

But in Ancestor Li Haocang's eyes, there was only Master Yun Hua.

"Let him be."

City Lord Gu Qinghe shook his head.

If that was what he wanted, then let him be.

"Old Ancestor, these are the auction items for the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce and the Wanfu Chamber of Commerce this time."

Gu Bo then brought out the list of items for the two major auctions.

Normally, there wouldn't be many things at these so-called auctions that would be useful to him; he could also feel the scarcity of cultivation resources in this world.

But those who sought Ascension were never simple people.

Even though City Lord Gu Qinghe was already a cultivator at the Seventh Heaven of Nirvana Realm.

But he found it difficult to see the path ahead.

City Lord Gu Qinghe casually picked up the list, since Gu Bo had presented it to him.

It meant there might be something different in this auction.

City Lord Gu Qinghe's gaze swept over the list.

In the next second, his expression suddenly changed.

...

The sky gradually darkened.

Su Lianxue also returned from outside.

She was a bit confused when she saw the current state of the inn.

It wasn't until she heard it from her Senior Brother that she understood the situation.

"A Simp—that's what you mean, right, Senior Brother?"

Su Lianxue looked at Lin Ming and said.

She had learned this word from Lin Ming and found it quite interesting.

Now she was putting it into practice.

Speaking of which, Su Lianxue remembered that she used to be the same way, pursued by many people.

She had also been uninterested in them.

"Junior Sister, watch your words. Be careful someone doesn't overhear you."

Lin Ming said in a teasing tone.

"With Revered Master here, there won't be any problems."

Su Lianxue said.

"That's true."

Lin Ming then agreed with Su Lianxue.

"Fairy Yun, I wonder if I might have the honor of dining with you?"

Ancestor Li Haocang's voice rang out.

In response, Master Yun Hua acted as if she hadn't heard a thing, leaving Ancestor Li Haocang there all by himself.

As the minutes passed, Ancestor Li Haocang remained standing in the middle of the open space.

He still hadn't seen Master Yun Hua appear, and the atmosphere gradually became awkward.

But Master Yun Hua's image remained in his mind.

Even though she ignored him, it was still the case.

"Then I shall not disturb Fellow Daoist Yun Hua any longer."

Ancestor Li Haocang then turned around and left without the slightest hesitation.

"Such a persistent person. What a pity."

Lin Ming said with feigned regret.

Persistent?

No matter how persistent he was, it was useless. His Revered Master wasn't interested in matters of love at all.
