Chapter 2386 - 2386 Reject

2386 Reject

It was a young man in his twenties. His appearance was average and neat at best, but decked in a gray-blue robe, his aura was outstanding. He had broad shoulders but a thin waist, and his entire body exuded a faint scholarly aura.

Hearing Ming Shu’s reply, he laughed. “Master Ming Shu, you don’t seem to welcome me?”

Ming Shu laughed and put away the account book. Then, his lips curled up at a perfect and courteous angle. “Why wouldn’t I? My Zhen Bao Pavilion will definitely welcome the Third Deity’s arrival.”

Even though he said that, he stood behind the table and did not take a step out. His eyes were cold and distant, not seeming to welcome him at all.

However, Fan Yunxiao did not seem to mind. To be more accurate, he did not care.

Zhen Bao Pavilion had always treated him in this manner, so he had long gotten used to it.

Fan Yunxiao walked in and surveyed the surroundings. “I didn’t expect Zhen Bao Pavilion would be so quiet one day.”

Ming Shu was nonchalant. “The Star Path is very crowded. Third Deity, why don’t you go there to take a look?”

Fan Yunxiao laughed. “That’s not necessary. I specifically came for Zhen Bao Pavilion today. May I know if Second Boss is upstairs?”

Ming Shu frowned. “Second Boss isn’t feeling well and is currently recuperating. If you have anything to say, you can tell me as well. It’s the same.”

“Oh…” Fan Yunxiao nodded in understanding. Then, he asked doubtfully, “I recall that Second Boss has always been in good health. Why did he come back and fall ill for so long? If I remember correctly, it has already been half a year, right? Why doesn’t Second Boss seem to be getting better? If this continues, why don’t I invite Eighth Deity over to take a look at him?”

“There’s no need for that.” Ming Shu chose to reject him without thinking.

Shu Jing? If she came, Second Boss would end up ill even if he was not. That person was a troublemaker, and they didn’t like dealing with her.

“Second Boss is just tired. He just has to recuperate and isn’t severely ill. Third Deity, you don’t have to be so worried.” Ming Shu was insistent and did not compromise at all.

Fan Yunxiao’s expression became colder.

Even a fool could tell that Ming Shu did not welcome him at all.

No matter what, he was still the Third Deity. When other people saw him, they still had to be polite. Yet, he was treated coldly every time he came to Zhen Bao Pavilion.

Since Ming Shu had such an attitude, Fan Yunxiao could not be bothered to talk more. He directly said, “I came over to borrow something.”

Ming Shu smiled and said, “Third Deity, you have such a distinguished status. What do you not have? You want to borrow from us?”

Fan Yunxiao ignored his tone and continued, “The item I want to borrow only exists in Zhen Bao Pavilion.”

As if thinking of something, Ming Shu squinted his eyes slightly.

As expected, Fan Yunxiao directly said, “I want to borrow Zhen Bao Pavilion’s account book.”

Ming Shu directly laughed out loud. “Third Deity, I don’t understand what you’re saying. You’re in charge of Fantasy Divine Hall’s internal accounts. That has nothing to do with my Zhen Bao Pavilion, right?”

He asked for the account book once he came. That was too shameless.

Fan Yunxiao said, “The Heaven Gate is about to close, and Fantasy Divine Hall needs to clear all the previous accounts. You and I both know that Zhen Bao Pavilion has the most complete accounts, so I came over. Master Ming Shu, it can’t be that you’re not willing to lend it, right?”

“Why would I?” Ming Shu laughed and patted the account book below his hand. “I won’t dare to not give the item you want, Third Deity. However… this is not something I can decide on. I have to go up and ask Second Boss.”

“Master Ming Shu, go ahead. I’ll just wait here.”

Ming Shu glanced at him and turned to go upstairs.

Fan Yunxiao stood with a hand behind his back and looked calm and certain, as if he was sure that the other party would pass the account book to him.

…

“He wants the account book?”

Yan Ge did not even turn around. “No way!”

What a joke. At such a time, who would want to be related to them?

Burden!

“Tell him that he won’t have to come in the future! If he insists, ask him to look for Master!”

…

Ming Shu came down in satisfaction and conveyed Yan Ge’s message word for word. “…You see, Third Deity, I don’t have a choice either. Second Boss gave his command, so how can I dare to disobey him? You should just go back!”

Fan Yunxiao’s expression turned dark, but the other party directly brought up their master. He really did not dare to cause a scene.

After failing, Fan Yunxiao left with a stomach filled with anger.

Ming Shu grunted and went over to close the door.

At this point, footsteps were heard from upstairs.

Yan Ge came downstairs for once.

Ming Shu hurriedly asked, “Second Boss, why did you come down?”

Yan Ge waved his hand. “Now that Madam is in the Fantasy Divine Hall and all the attention is on the Star Path, it should be fine for me to come down and take a walk.”

He was really bored to death during this period of time!

Ming Shu heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s true. However, I really didn’t expect Third Deity to come over and ask us for the account book.”

Yan Ge clicked his tongue. “He just wants to come and see what kind of trump cards the cultivators of Fantasy Divine Palace have. This way, on the day the Heaven Gate closes, Fantasy Divine Hall will know roughly who can actually break through and become a deity. Following that, they can make adequate preparations. All in all, they just want to know the entire situation.”

Yuan instruments, pills, Xuan formations… Zhen Bao Pavilion recorded every single transaction, and this could clearly show everything. Thus, Fantasy Divine Hall naturally wanted to take a look at it.

Ming Shu nodded in understanding. “I see.”

“However, this Fan Yunxiao is rather interesting. He asked for other people’s items so casually—hah.”

Yan Ge originally did not really like this person. Now that such an incident happened, he was even more frustrated. “If he comes again in the future, we’ll just not see him!”

“Yes!” Ming Shu acknowledged the order and then asked, “Then… What if he insists on going upstairs?”

After all, he was the Third Deity. If Fan Yunxiao insisted, it was not easy for them to handle him.

Yan Ge rolled his eyes and chuckled. “Invite him up then! I want to see if he really dares to throw his temper here!”

Not to mention Fan Yunxiao, even the two above him might not dare to do so!

The corner of Ming Shu’s lips twitched. “Okay.”

Yan Ge came to the table and sat down, stretching in relaxation.

Peng!

Another sound was heard.

Without asking, Qi Han had definitely solved another Grandmaster-level Xuan formation.

“Hey… listen, listen to this noise! See how crowded it is at the Star Path!” Yan Ge had a face filled with envy and emotions.

He also wanted to go out and take a look!

Ming Shu looked at his own Second Boss and pitied him for once. “Second Boss, why don’t you—”

Bang… Dang!

Before Ming Shu could finish his sentence, a figure suddenly fell from the empty air!
