Chapter 826 Guarantee
"What do you mean by that, my lord?" An Hua asked suspiciously after hearing the words.
Fang Zhen was also startled, and looked at Shi Mu.
"The Tianhe Starfield has been coveted and encroached by the Heavenly Court for a long time. As one of the three major clans in the Tianhe Starfield today, the Tianfeng Clan has always been the backbone to resist it. The amount of resources it needs is extremely huge, so it naturally needs a lot of replenishment. In addition, this time the Holy Maiden recruits relatives, in essence, to gather manpower, and the selected person must have the support of a huge family behind him, so as to help the Tianfeng clan to a greater extent." Shi Mu explained.
"That is to say, the congratulatory gifts received by the Tianfeng clan are actually funds collected for resisting the heavenly court." Shu Youjin said with a slight twinkle in his eyes.
"In this case, there is nothing wrong with it." An Hua nodded and said.
Fang Zhen frowned, lowered his eyes and nodded, his complexion looked a bit ugly, Shi Mu saw it, and his heart suddenly moved.
"Fang Zhen, you said that someone from your clan might participate in the competition, but do you know who it would be?" Shi Mu asked.
Fang Zhen raised his head, a trace of resentment flashed in his purple eyes, and he said, "It should be my half-brother Fang Ce. He is the grandson of the patriarch just like me. It's just his mother Born in the famous Tianhe family, so he has always been favored by the family, and his strength is not weak, I think if the family arranges to participate in this competition, it should be him."
"How is your clan brother's cultivation? Are you sure you can beat him?" Shi Mu asked after pondering for a while.
"When I left the clan, he had just advanced to the late stage of the holy rank, and his strength was almost the same as mine. However, I was sure to defeat him." Fang Zhen thought for a moment and replied seriously.
"Brother Shu, I have something to discuss with Shi, I wonder if Brother Shu can agree?" Shi Mu nodded, then suddenly turned his head and said to Shu Youjin.
"Brother Shi, I'm afraid this is not a small sum. Although I am a member of the flying mouse family, after all, the family has fallen, and there is not much food left." Shu Youjin seemed to have expected it. Said with a hint of embarrassment.
"You are well aware of Fang Zhen's strength. If he can defeat his clan brother Fang Ce in this competition, then his status in the clan will definitely change drastically. At that time, let him return you with several times the resources. Wouldn't everyone be happy." Shi Mu said with a smile.
When Fang Zhen heard this, his face showed disbelief, and he looked at Shi Mu gratefully.
Hearing this, An Hua looked at Shi Mu a little differently than before.
"If he wins, that's the case, but if he loses, then all my investment will be in vain." Shu Youjin rubbed his palms and said still hesitantly.
"The way of doing business, is there any thing that you can reap the benefits without taking any risks? If you don't help him, won't you be forcing him to do the looting again? Perhaps it would be a good place to go to Shuxing. "Shi Mu frowned slightly, and said with deep meaning.
Hearing this, Shu Youjin's complexion changed immediately, and after a pair of round eyes gurgled in the eye sockets for a few times, he suddenly smiled and said, "Since it's Brother Shi, I can't refuse. It can't compare to Brother Shi's promise, as long as you are willing to guarantee him, Brother Shi, I am willing to support him."
"Okay, I'll vouch for him." Shi Mu replied without hesitation.
Hearing these words, Fang Zhen's expression changed immediately. He looked at Shi Mu and said solemnly, "Young Master, I will never thank you for your kindness. Please rest assured that even if Fang Zhen dies, he will not disappoint your high expectations."
Shi Mu smiled and nodded, without saying anything.
"By the way, Brother Shu, Shi asked you to investigate how many members of the Tianfeng clan have cultivated the Xuanhand golden flame supernatural power. I wonder if there is any result?" Shi Mu looked at Shu Youjin.
"It's easy. I've already found out. Now there are three people who have cultivated the Xuangang Golden Flame. The specific information is here." Shu Youjin took out a jade slip and handed it over.
Shi Mu was overjoyed, thanked him, took it over, and penetrated into it with his spiritual sense.
In the jade slips are the information of the three people, and there are also images. The three people are all powerful in the divine realm.
One was Madam Zhen whom I had seen before, and the other was a middle-aged man. The third was a young woman wearing a phoenix crown and a multicolored robe.
Shi Mu's body trembled, that's right, it was this woman!
When Zhong Xiu was taken away, although he was in a coma, he could only vaguely feel that person's aura, but it was this sacred feeling.
"Brother Shi is investigating this matter, is there any reason?" Shu Youjin asked.
"There are some reasons, thank you brother Shu for helping me with this matter, I will never forget this kindness." Shi Mu laughed.
"Brother Shi, you're being polite. You and I are friends, and we should help each other." Shu Youjin said with a chuckle, a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes.
Allowing someone like Shi Mu to owe a favor might be of great use in the future, and besides, Shi Mu's job is very simple, and this deal is too cost-effective.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps coming down the stairs, and at the same time, an arrogant voice sounded: "Man, drive away everyone on the top floor, my young master is going to entertain guests there, and if you disturb our dinner, your restaurant will come to an end." Already!"
Shi Mu frowned.
"Who is so arrogant? This is Phoenix Wing City." Shu Youjin's expression also sank.
Footsteps quickly reached the top floor, and the first person was a young man, wearing a golden robe with red lace on the side, and a huge phoenix pattern embroidered on it, which was clearly the costume of the Tianfeng clan.
Shi Mu's eyes flashed, it turned out that he was a member of the Tianfeng clan, and he was a direct descendant, no wonder he was so rampant.
After two days in Phoenix Wing City, he also learned a lot about the Tianfeng Clan.
Only the direct descendants of the Tianfeng clan can wear golden costumes, and the general descendants wear red costumes.
This young man in the golden robe is not ugly, but he has an arrogant expression on his face, which makes it difficult for people to have a good impression. His cultivation base is not bad, and he has reached the middle stage of the holy rank.
There are several people behind this person, except for a strong man with red armor and thick eyebrows, the rest of them are all dressed in purple robes, and their eyes are lavender.
Shi Mu raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Fang Zhen.
At this moment, Fang Zhen stared intently at the men in purple robes, his body was stiff, and his hands were tightly clenched into fists.
Those purple-robed people also saw Fang Zhen, and their expressions also changed.
"Dude, didn't you hear what this young master said? Let these people get out of here quickly, this floor is covered by this young master!" The young man in the golden robe looked around a few times and said in a cold voice.
When the people eating upstairs saw the clothes on the young man in the golden robe, their faces changed drastically, and they left in a hurry, and walked cleanly in an instant.
Only Shi Mu and the others sat there quietly, not moving at all, very conspicuous.
"Are you deaf? If you want to live, get out of here. The young master invited you to this meal." The young man in the golden robe looked at Shi Mu and the others with an arrogant and domineering expression.
"I've heard for a long time that the Tianfeng clan is one of the three major clans in the Milky Way Star Region. I and the others are here to congratulate the Tianfeng clan's saintess on her succession ceremony. Your Excellency, as a direct descendant of the Tianfeng clan, treats guests like this. It's really not as famous as meeting them." Shu Youjin waved his hand and took out a folding fan, unfolded it with a "crash", and fanned it lightly.
On the fan is a picture of a golden mouse, holding a big gold ingot in its arms, which looks a little funny and cute.
"That's right, this floor is so big, can't you sit there? Oh, I see, all of you are pigs, and you eat ugly, so you don't dare to eat in front of others, right? " Cai'er giggled.
"What are you talking about, you stupid bird! You want to die!" The young man in the golden robe was furious, and his body flashed red.
"Young Master, calm down." The big man in red armor and thick eyebrows looked at the folding fan in Shu Youjin's hand, his expression changed, and he whispered a few words in the ear of the young man in golden robe.
The golden-robed youth's eyes fell on the folding fan in Shu Youjin's hand, his face changed, and he blurted out: "Golden Rat Chamber of Commerce!"
The men in purple robes also noticed the folding fan in Shu Youjin's hand, and their expressions changed.
The Golden Rat Chamber of Commerce is a huge chamber of commerce run by the Flying Rat Clan. Its business covers half of the Tianhe Star Region, and it also has many business contacts with the Tianfeng Clan. Therefore, although the Flying Rat Clan has declined, it still has a huge influence.
"Brother Zhao Yi, I'm very grateful for your hospitality today, but it's just for a meal, so there's no need to clear the venue." A flashy young man walked out from among several purple-robed people, and laughed.
While speaking, he glanced at Fang Zhen, and a trace of haze flashed across his face.
The complexion of the young man in the golden robe changed, and he snorted coldly after a while, and said, "Okay, for Brother Fang's sake, hum!"
The guy at the side was sweating profusely, and his face finally looked better at this moment, and hurriedly and enthusiastically led the young man in the golden robe and others towards a table.
The flashy young man paused for a while, looked at Fang Zhen, with a strange look in his eyes, and then said, "Fang Zhen, I never imagined that you would come to Phoenix Wing City when you left the family. Could it be that you also came for the grand ceremony."
"If you can come to Phoenix Wing City, why can't I come?" Fang Zhen said with a cold snort.
"Of course, anyone can come, but you want to participate in the competition. You have to prepare a decent gift first." The young man on the other side smiled sarcastically, and then turned to Fang Zhen without looking at Fang Zhen again. The youth and others walked over.
"Is this the Fang Ce you mentioned earlier?" Shi Mu glanced at the young man's back and said.
"That's right, he and I are half-brothers who came here to participate in the grand ceremony on behalf of the purple-eyed demon cow clan." Fang Zhen nodded.
Shi Mu shook his head and smiled. Although the young man's cultivation has reached the late stage of the holy rank, his aura is very strong. It is obvious that he was forcibly promoted recently. If he really did it, he might not be as good as a person in the middle stage of the holy rank.
Shu Youjin narrowed his eyes slightly, and a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes.
No matter how you look at it, Fang Ce looks like a pustule. It seems that he did the right thing by sponsoring Fang Zhen this time.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Shi Mu, and rubbed his hands in front of him.
Shi Mu is really his lucky star. When he met Shi Mu, everything went very smoothly.

Wangyu saw the hand-painted illustrations for Xuanmen by Perfume Daoists in the APP of Xuanjiezhimen. What impressed me the most was the picture of Yan Luo sleeping in the Qibao Miaoshu. It is very artistic, thank you.
