Chapter 286 (1/2)
An ordinary person couldn't tell what sort of monster was pulling the carriage to a halt in front of the entrance of the sect. The thing pulling the carriage looked somewhat similar to a rhinoceros, but it was larger and more robust.
The outer layer of s.h.i.+ny black skin was as tough as armor.
This thing didn't have a horn on its head, but there was a black hole on its forehead, which seemed to go straight into its brain.
The car stopped in front of the Martial Arts Academy. The curious people wanted to take a closer look, but when they saw the sign on the carriage, everyone chose to leave quickly and silently.

After the Gao Family fell, the biggest gang power in Fang Gu City was the Wind and Rain Tower.
In the eyes of the common folk, the so-called difference between a sect and a gang didn't seem to make much difference. The latter might just have a better reputation.
However, judging from the inheritance, the difference was huge.
The gangs were a gathering of people, and there was only a hierarchy between them. There was no master-disciple relations.h.i.+p at all.
In most people's view, the sect's structure was more durable than the gang's.
However, that didn't necessarily mean that gangs would gather for benefits. If there were no fluctuations in the distribution of benefits, then the benefits would tend to be more stable.
The Wind and Rain Tower had almost completely taken over the Gao Family's business. This was considered an important gift from the Wind and Rain Tower.
Therefore, he had successfully succeeded Xiao Qidao in his succession.
The first was to be in the interests of those people, and the second was to fight for a favor.
Now that both sides were on their honeymoon after Empress Dowager Su's death, neither was willing to quickly break this balance.
A middle-aged man with a scholarly aura came down from the car. His name was Ning Muye.
After the battle with the Gao Clan, the Great Master of the Fine Rain Tower personally paid a visit to the Heavenly Awakening Sect to express his grat.i.tude to the Heavenly Awakening Sect for letting the Gao Clan casino in West City go.
Since then, the two families did not have much interaction with each other.
Ning Muye did not have a clear position in the Drizzle Court. He was not one of the seven heads of the Drizzle Court.
However, no one in the Fine Rain House dared to underestimate this scholar. They all knew that if there really was a ranking, the Great Master's reputation would come first, and Ning Muye would be second.
On many occasions, Open Heart had said that if he was unable to deal with matters that he was unable to deal with, he would leave them to Ning Muye to decide.
From the Second Manager down, when he saw Ning Muye, he would obediently call him Mister Ning.
Madman Qu knew that Ning Muye was coming and was already waiting at the entrance.
After going through countless scenes and interactions with countless dignitaries, Madman Qu's current bearing and bearing was naturally different from when he lived in the long-lived city of the Ancient Barbarian Mountains.
Even if he saw Ning Muye, he wouldn't feel the slightest bit nervous.
After all, those with a higher status than Ning Muye, Madman Qu also came to welcome him.
Especially after Empress Dowager Su had fallen, batch after batch of important figures came to visit.
Madman Qu welcomed Ning Muye through the door. The monster pulling the carriage glanced at the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect, its eyes somewhat cloudy and somewhat confused.
At the same time, the cat sleeping in An Zeng's arms suddenly raised its head. It seemed to sense something and its eyes were hostile.
The magic binding cloth beneath it stirred.
An Zeng frowned slightly. ””Let's go take a look outside and see what's going on.””
Soon, someone reported, ””Mister Ning from the Fine Rain House has arrived.””
””Be on your guard, it seems unusual.””
When he stood up, the good sir jumped out of his arms, slipped out, and ran towards the door.
An Zaiyue made Du skinny follow the good lord to see Ning Muye on his own.
At the door, the good lord strode out with the gait of a king.
Although he was small, he was full of momentum.
Upon seeing the kind master, the four-faced demonic beast actually took a few steps back, fear and enmity appearing in its eyes.
When the good sir saw the demon beast, he stared into its eyes and let out a meow.
The demonic beast took another step back, black suns and moons appearing in its eyes.
The stars in the good sir's eyes continued to circulate as he continued to stare straight into the eyes of the demon beast.
The demonic beast took a step back for the third time. Then, it lowered its head and did not dare to look at him in the eye anymore.
The Kindness made a disdainful meow, then turned and went back.
Old Huo, who was sitting in a daze in his room, got alert after seeing this scene. He got up and started rummaging through the many ancient books he had collected.
In the living room, An Zeng and Ning Muye met and the guest hosts sat down.
Ning Muye was a middle-aged man who looked to be around 37 years old. At his age, he could no longer be described as handsome.
He had a very light temperament. No matter what, it would not affect his state of mind. He had a disposition to remain confident in everything.
Not strong, not aggressive.
If someone's temperament was as sharp as a saber, his temperament would be as stable as Mt. Tai.
””Mr. Ning, just say it, I'm not a person who knows how to interact.””
An Zhan smiled and said, ””The more you talk, the more likely you are to offend people, so it's better to be simple.””
Ning Muye replied with a smile, ””I've long heard that the Imperial Duke is a straightforward person. Seeing him today is indeed the case.””
Since that's the case, I'll be straightforward … When the Gao Family was just annihilated, the Wind and Rain Tower did not express any grat.i.tude towards the gifts that the Duke of Gao gave to the Fine Rain House.
Thus, the Great Master had always felt guilty, but the State Lord did not seem to lack anything.
Speaking of silver, although the Fine Rain House had a lot of silver, they were still inferior to the state officials.
””Speaking of status, the Duke of the Kingdom is already above ten thousand people, and the Fine Rain House really cannot compare … I've been waiting for this moment to see if there is anything that can express the grat.i.tude of our Fine Rain House.””
””Fortunately, the Emperor did not disappoint those with ulterior motives. Finally, we found something for us.””
Ning Muye pointed towards the outside, ””The demon beast that's pulling the carriage is called the Blue Eyed Golden Eyed Panther.””
I know that the Crown Prince has a special interest in finding treasures, so I intend to give this to him.
