Chapter 323 Nine Girls

"I don't know a word, so I came in to ask for advice."

Chen Xuan spoke quickly.

but--

"If you don't know the words, go ask the teacher for advice. This is not a school!"

Gu Pengyou still walked towards the inside without any intention of paying attention to him.

"It's ancient writing!"

As soon as these words came out.

Gu Pengyou stopped abruptly.

He turned around slowly, not believing what he said.

But she was naturally fond of reading, especially some ancient books, and she had no resistance.

"If you lie to me, you will be thrown out of September City and banned from entering forever!"

Gu Pengyou's words contained a strong threat.

Of course she also has the capital to say such things.

The Gu family is not only the first family in the Jiuyue Mansion, but the Jiuyue Mansion belongs to King Gu, who is her uncle.

Chen Xuan raised his eyebrows.

He looks bookish, but speaks so arrogantly.

"The background is not weak!"

I muttered in my heart.

"The pen and ink serve you, you will know it after you write it!"

For women, especially women who are still suspicious, it is useless to say more.

"Okay! I will be your book boy for a while!"

Gu Pengyou slapped her hand heavily on the book, but she still looked at Chen Xuan with suspicion.

Then he walked to the desk and started grinding.

After a moment, "Pointing to the wolf-hair pen on the side, please?"

"But I warn you in advance, if you write randomly, you won't be able to keep your hands today."

She, Gu Pengyou, grinds it herself, and only his father and her uncle receive this kind of treatment.

She was really dizzy just now.

But now that the words have been spoken, let’s do it reluctantly.

But she also made the consequences clear.

"Then you will be disappointed!"

Chen Xuan said lightly, then picked up the langhao pen and started writing the words in the ancient book.

Gu Pengyou's eyes were fixed on the tip of the pen.

As the words gradually took shape, her expression also changed.

One word!

Chen Xuan put down the langhao pen in his hand and looked at her who was completely shocked.

He asked with a proud look, "How?"

"Ancient characters!"

This time it was Chen Xuan's turn to be surprised. He just gave it a try, but when he came in and saw how young she was, he gave up on his idea.

If it weren't for her arrogant look at the end, I wouldn't have written it to her.

But I didn't expect that she actually knew him.

That's right, this word is exactly the word "ancient".

It was also chosen deliberately by Chen Xuan.

"It's the little girl's misunderstanding. Please don't mind me, sir."

Gu Pengyou bowed slightly, expressing his apology.

"Girl, don't be like this, it's just a misunderstanding."

Chen Xuan also nodded slightly.

But the look in her eyes changed.

She was really different from the women he had seen before. She was arrogant, but she knew she was wrong and could immediately lower her head and admit it.

This is very rare.

He is indeed a scholar, but he is different.

"I wonder if the young master still has these ancient texts? Can you write them for the little girl to read?"

Very little of this ancient writing remains.

Even the Gu family's collection over the years is still very few.

It's enough to show how rare it is.

She is also a person who likes ancient texts, so she quickly asked at this moment.

"Of course, I came in because I didn't know how to read! And if you don't mind, just call me Xuan Er!"

"Gu Pengyou! Thank you very much!"

He also said his name directly, and then picked up the langhao pen and wrote it on the paper.

Chen Xuan took a closer look and thought to himself several times.

Then he praised,

"The word "芃" describes the appearance of lush vegetation, which means strong vitality, and "芃" is a kind of plant. The combination of the two means being knowledgeable and talented!"

"What a name!"

When he said the meaning of his name, Gu Pengyou's eyes lit up.

Genji!

He was really different from the men she had seen before.

Her name is very unfamiliar, and most people don't even know it, let alone tell the meaning of these two words.

"Master Xuan is so knowledgeable!"

Gu Pengyou did not hesitate to praise her at this moment, and the smile on her face came from the heart, without any pretense.

"Miss Gu's words really upset me. She just likes reading and doesn't do much research. Otherwise, she wouldn't even know the words."

Chen Xuan deliberately joked.

"Master Xuan is joking."

Gu Pengyou was a little embarrassed. After all, he had just said seriously that he didn't know the words, but she just thought he was being messy.

"hehe!"

Chen Xuan smiled and did not continue to tease her, but asked, "Then I will write it now?"

"Okay, okay! I'll grind it for you, Master!"

Gu Pengyou nodded repeatedly and immediately started grinding.

Chen Xuan was not polite, picked up the langhao pen on the table, and began to write ancient characters one by one.

Of course there are some he knows and some he doesn't.

I also wanted to test her by doing this.

Otherwise, it is not misleading, but if you understand it wrongly, it will mislead him.

About half an hour.

Chen Xuan wrote nearly hundreds of ancient texts eloquently.

"call--"

He gently put down the Langhao pen in his hand and said, "That's it for now, right? I can't remember the rest. I'll take a look when I get back!"

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Gu Pengyou nodded slightly, then stretched out a hand, pointed at the ancient characters one by one and looked at them carefully.

Chen Xuan walked to the counter and saw the teapot on it.

After looking at Gu Pengyou and seeing that she was completely immersed in those ancient characters, he didn't call her, but poured himself a glass and drank it.

"This word is...empty!"

"Yes, it's Sora, I've seen it before!"

"This...is the word "Jing"!"

Gu Pengyou's voice never stopped from the beginning.

Chen Xuan quietly admired this beauty.

But this quiet scene was broken half an hour later.

"Sister, I'm coming!"

A young man, wearing a blue brocade robe with a white jade pendant hanging on his waist, walked in hurriedly.

"Um?"

When he saw the cup in Chen Xuan's hand, he was stunned.

This is my sister's favorite cup. Let alone outsiders, even when he comes, I have never used it.

Who is this person?

"There's something waiting! Don't talk!"

Gu Pengyou didn't even look at him, she just said something and then looked at him carefully.

"Um?"

The man looked at her and then at Chen Xuan, completely confused.

But due to the pressure from her sister, she walked gently to the counter and leaned against it.

His eyes were fixed on Chen Xuan.

But even though he was as curious as a cat scratching his head, he didn't dare to ask.

"hehe!"

Seeing his uncomfortable look, Chen Xuan smiled unkindly.

Of course, what he got back was the man staring at him fiercely.

Very dissatisfied.

This wait lasted two hours.

Gu Pengyou finally finished reading, but there was a look on his face that he was still unsatisfied.

Holding the paper in his hand, he walked slowly.

The man was about to speak, but was stopped by her gesture.

Instead, he handed the paper into Chen Xuan's hands with an apology on his face, "I'm really sorry, I don't recognize many of them!"

In terms of knowledge, although she is young, there are almost no people in the Jiuyue Mansion who can surpass her!

She still has this confidence.

But these are ancient texts. Even a well-educated person like her doesn't know nearly twenty of the hundreds of characters.

Chen Xuan took it and looked at it carefully.

"It's already very good! Thank you Miss Gu."

He clasped his hands into fists and said thanks.

I wanted to go out and hang out today, but I didn't expect to get such a reward.

It's an unintentional trick.

Then he looked at the sky outside and said, "I've been harassing you for a long time, so Xuan went back first."

"The rest."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Gu Pengyou asked hurriedly.

After all, he still has a lot of ancient texts there, and it would be a pity if he missed them.

"Don't worry, Xuan will come again tomorrow!"

Hearing what he said, Gu Pengyou immediately felt relieved, and then said, "If Mr. Xuan is willing, you can bring the original. This way I will have greater confidence!"

"this"

Chen Xuan hesitated.

"I'm sorry, it's the little girl who took the liberty."

Gu Pengyou quickly said that this kind of ancient book must be very precious. It was indeed inappropriate for her to make such an opinion when the two met by chance.

"Oh, no, this ancient book belongs to the elders of the family. Xuan cannot make the decision. Wait until I ask for permission. Does Miss Gu think this is okay?"

"Master Xuan, thank you for your trouble!"

Gu Pengyou bowed.

"You're welcome!"

After Chen Xuan nodded in return, he left Gu Yuezhai.

It wasn't until he left that Gu Ming finally couldn't hold it in any longer, "Sister, who is this person? You were so polite to him!"

Their Gu family is the first family in the Jiuyue Mansion.

I don’t know how many people want to climb them.

Even a servant of the Gu family walked outside with his head held high.

Unexpectedly, now his sister, the most talented person in this generation of the Gu family, is deeply loved by her father and uncle, and is the most beautiful woman in Yue Yue Mansion.

Now he is so polite to a strange man.

And the look in his eyes was all bright.

How abnormal!

"Didn't I tell you? Don't come to my place unless it's important!"

Gu Pengyou didn't answer him.

And also a little unhappy.

The way he looked at Chen Xuan just now was completely different.

"Oh, dad asked me to call you. Uncle is back from the imperial capital!"

"Uncle is back?"

Gu Pengyou was a little surprised, because last time his uncle said that it would take at least a year and a half to go to the imperial capital, and it was only half a year.

Did something big happen?

"I'll leave this to you, I'll go back first!"

Without giving him any time to speak, he turned into a white light and flew towards the ancient mansion.

"What is this!"

Gu Ming had a sad face and felt helpless.

He came to call for help, but in the end he stayed here. He also wanted to go back.

Maybe his uncle even brought him good things from the imperial capital!

"or."

After looking at the sky, it was almost there.

Just don't do anything else and just close the door.

Leave!

"Nine Immortals Tower!"

Chen Xuan, who left Gu Yuezhai, certainly did not forget today's purpose.

"So high!"

Chen Xuan looked up and saw that it was a building, but in fact it was more like a tower.

"1,2,3"

There are ten floors in total.

Not only that, the colors of the outer fences on each floor are different.

And the styles are also very different.

"It's interesting!"

Chen Xuan couldn't help but say that Goulan could still be like this. It seemed that he was indeed quite capable of attracting the powerful people from outside the government.

Then he walked towards the door.

But before he reached the door, he was stopped by a woman in red.

"how?"

Chen Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at him with some confusion.

The woman didn't say anything and just stretched out her hand.

"What's the meaning!"

Chen Xuan's face looked a little ugly.

He just entered the hook fence, and this stopped him and stretched out his hand.

"Is it your first time?"

The woman couldn't help but care about his expression at all, but instead asked impatiently.

"So what?"

"The first time you pay a thousand taels, this is the rule of Jiuxian Tower! It is also the threshold!"

What?

Chen Xuan thought he heard wrongly!

When did there be a threshold fee for shopping in Goulan?

It is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world.

However, he still suppressed his dissatisfaction and asked again, "What if it's not the first time?"

"It's either the first time or a hundred taels! If you don't give it, go away quickly. Our Jiuxian Tower will cost ten thousand taels in one night!"

She looked at him with contempt in her eyes and looked down upon him in her words.

After all, Chen Xuan was wearing very ordinary clothes today.

He doesn't look like a rich man at first glance.

"hehe!"

Chen Xuan was really annoyed by this woman.

He has a big face and pockmarks, so it’s no wonder he was assigned as a watchdog.

Then a two-dollar bill was thrown out.

He strode in directly.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? I haven't seen the banknote yet. Just wait a minute!"

The woman shouted loudly, very dissatisfied, and then stretched out her thick hands to grab him.

"I'm giving you face!"

Chen Xuan looked at her coldly. Although he did not burst out with any breath, the invisible pressure of a Taoist strongman was not something that an ordinary person could bear.

moment!

The woman was frightened, and her whole body could not stop shaking.

but

"Come here, someone is making trouble, come here quickly"

He shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Shut up!"

Suddenly there was a loud shout, and the next moment a middle-aged man in black with a square face and thick eyebrows appeared in Chen Xuan's sight.

"I'm sorry, it's me, Jiuxianlou, who is rude. All the money spent by our distinguished guest here today will be counted as Jiuxianlou's!"

The middle-aged man in black raised his hands to Chen Xuan and said.

Chen Xuan didn't speak, just glanced at him lightly.

Just one look made the man in black feel great pressure.

"Need not!"

Then he walked directly past him.

It wasn't until Chen Xuan left that the man felt the pressure disappear.

"So strong!"

He is a strong man in the Xuan Realm and the general manager of the Nine Immortals Tower.

To be able to put such great pressure on him, he must be at least in the late stage of the Xuan Realm, maybe even higher!

Thinking of this, he looked at the woman with a cold expression.

"In charge, sir!"

The woman was trembling, her face turned pale with fright, and her previous arrogance was completely gone.

Usually this place is guarded by her concubine, why is it the manager today?

"It's over. If I had known it was over, I wouldn't have shouted!"

The manager is the one who can decide their life or death with just one sentence.

"Somebody come!"

The man shouted angrily.

"Master Steward!"

Two men dressed in black came to him in an instant and responded respectfully.

"Her tongue was cut off by this supervisor, and who arranged it for her? Chop off his hands!"

"When Jiuxian Tower is open for business, customers come first. And next time, you guards will be punished together!"

The man looked at the two of them coldly.

"yes!"

The two replied immediately.

The man's cold tone made the two of them break into cold sweat.

"snort!"

The man snorted coldly and then walked into the Nine Immortals Tower.

"No, sir, please spare your life, spare your life."

Before he finished speaking, one of the men was knocked unconscious with a palm.

"What a risk!"

"Hmm! I didn't expect that the manager would come today. The old dog got involved now!"

Another man said with some regret.

"You deserve it. This woman is so ugly. I really don't know why I like him. I told him a long time ago that this woman can't be a doorkeeper. She can be arranged to do odd jobs in the back!"

"It's okay now, I've lost both hands for this ugly woman!"

"Forget it, forget it! Let's go! Deal with it quickly, it's so dangerous!"

I touched my forehead and my hands were wet.

Chen Xuan entered the Nine Immortals Tower and his eyes were opened.

The decoration of the entire first floor highlights one word, rich!

Magnificent!

And he used his mental power to sweep it slightly.

As far as the eye can see, everything that is yellow is gold.

As for the colorful ones, they are all kinds of precious gems.

And those wooden things, although I don't recognize them, they are not ordinary at first glance.

“They say golden soil, but when it’s earthy to the extreme, it’s elegance!”

Chen Xuan couldn't help but sigh.

At least now he feels that the decoration is very comfortable.

"My boss likes gold, so I used gold all the time. I wish Jiu, I'm so sorry just now!"

"No problem, it's my first time here. If it's convenient, I can introduce you!"

It's just a trivial matter. Chen Xuan will not let an ordinary woman disturb his mood.

And women were also punished.

"Of course, it is our honor for distinguished guests to come to our Nine Immortals Tower, please!"

Zhu Jiu stretched out a hand and led Chen Xuan to the table next to the window.

After the two sat down.

Chen Xuan was the first to express his doubts, "Why are there so many tables on this floor?"

It feels more like a restaurant than a gourmet restaurant.

"Do you still know your brother's last name?"

Zhu Jiu arched his hands and asked with a smile.

"Xuanji!"

Chen Xuan said lightly.

"Then call me Brother Xuan!"

"Brother Zhu!"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Then Zhu Jiu began to introduce, "Brother Xuan, don't underestimate this table. It will cost you a thousand taels to sit down!"

"Look."

Zhu Jiu pointed to the center of the table and carved numbers.

And the table they are sitting on now has eight carved on it!

"What does this mean?"

Chen Xuan asked with some confusion.

"Eight, represents the number eight. Only those with the number are eligible to participate in the bidding!"

"There are only nine girls in our Nine Immortals Tower. You must have seen that there are ten floors in the Nine Immortals Tower. Except for the first floor, each floor represents a girl!"

“The bidding starts every night from the second floor, and the one with the highest price wins!”

"All the way to the tenth floor!"

"I see!"

Chen Xuan nodded slowly. It felt more like an auction than a hook.

Just nine girls!

not much! Or rather too little.

But just nine girls can support a Gou Lan, so if you want to photograph one girl, it will probably cost a sky-high price.

"That's a good move!"

Chen Xuan did not hesitate to praise himself.

Of course, this also requires capital, at least the girl must be unique.

Otherwise, why would this table alone cost a thousand taels?

"This is all what the boss wants!"

Zhu Jiu also admired his boss very much. He founded Jiuxian Tower. In just a few decades, it became famous not only in Jiuyue Mansion, but also in several nearby mansions.

My earnings over the years have been astronomical.

"I'd love to meet your boss if I have the chance!"

Chen Xuan was very interested in this person.

"I will pass it on for you, but whether you see it or not depends on the owner's wishes."

"Thank you!"

Chen Xuan nodded.

While the two were chatting, many people had already come in one after another.

And all of them are either rich or noble. You can tell by looking at the guards who follow them. There are several of them who are in the late stage of Immortal level and Mysterious level.

"This Yue Yue Mansion is several levels better than the Moran Mansion!"

I saw so many masters in just one tick.

It's really a bit outrageous.

You must know that in the Molan Mansion, only those big families have masters of the Mysterious Realm.

And they are all offered as treasures.

As for being a bodyguard for the young master, that is simply a fantasy.

"The bidding will start in a while. Zhu just said that no matter who Brother Xuan likes today, he will come from the Nine Immortals Tower!"

Zhu Jiu mentioned it again, of course to make friends with him.

Because no matter they are in the late stage of Xuan Realm or above, they are all qualified to be friends with Jiuxian Tower.

"What if I like them all?"

Chen Xuan looked at him with a half-smile.

You have to spend money on him, right?

Of course it must be more ruthless.

He would like to see what this person is thinking now?

There is no free lunch in the world.

And doing this again and again, isn't it just to win over him!

But if you want to win over him, it's not a small price to pay.

really!

Zhu Jiu looked embarrassed, "Brother Xuan is joking!"

Asking for nine girls at once is too much.

Although I felt outrageous in my heart, it was hard to fall out on the spot.

"Forget it then!"

Chen Xuan said lightly.

"In that case, I wish you will not apologize to Brother Xuan and have fun in Jiuxian Tower!"

Zhu Jiu stood up and cupped his hands.

Chen Xuan just nodded and had no intention of getting up.

After all, a warrior in the early stage of the Xuan Realm is not enough for him to punch, so there is no need.

After breaking through to the Dao realm, his powerful strength caused subtle changes in his mentality. Of course, this does not mean that he is arrogant.

It's just that I came to Jiuyue Mansion to relax, so of course I have to be more casual.

Besides, even if he can't handle it, isn't there still a princess from Dayu?

It feels like I have some background and feel confident.

A trace of anger flashed in Zhu Jiu's eyes.

But he covered it up in an instant, put a smile on his face, and left here.

After he left, the corners of Chen Xuan's mouth raised slightly.

I just used his telepathy to look at Zhu Jiu. He seemed a little angry, but he had no other ideas for the time being.

After all, he still couldn't figure out Chen Xuan's strength.

In about half an hour, all the tables on the first floor were occupied, and at this time, the door to the first floor was closed.

"Does this mean we won't accept guests anymore?"

Chen Xuan muttered in his heart.

After thinking about it, that's what it meant. After all, the table was full, so it was useless to come.

Not eligible to participate in the auction!

"Weng!"

Just then, a bell rang.
