Chapter 531: Bad luck (1/2)

''Welcome! My name is Ying Gui and this is the head of my guards Zou Qiang. I am very happy that you accepted the mission. Haha, I wasn't sure if someone would really accept it in time!''

Ying Gui didn't lose a single moment as he introduced both himself and the head of his guards with a passionate expression as he looked at Shun Long, while gesturing for him to enter his courtyard at the same time.

Although Ying Gui knew that protection missions like this were popular among the outer disciples of the Holy sect, what he had said was also true.  He had to leave for Yanzhu city right away, and he wasn't certain if an outer disciple of the Holy sect would accept the mission in time.

If he wasn't lucky enough, he could only leave 3 days later with only the power of his normal guards.

Nodding his head, Shun Long looked at the smiling Ying Gui before he took out his golden-colored token that he had placed in his robes and showed it to him, as he introduced himself

''My name is Shun Long, and I am a disciple of the Holy sect.''

After he finished his simple introduction, Shun Long stopped looking at Ying Gui and turned his gaze towards the giant Zou Qiang who was standing behind him and was staring at him with the same frown on his face.

Noticing that Shun Long hadn't entered his courtyard and was looking at his head of guards instead, Ying Gui turned around and stared at the man behind him before he asked with the same professional smile of a merchant that he always used

''Zou Qiang, is everything okay?''

Zou Qiang shook his head after hearing his boss' voice, before answering with a serious look

''No problem boss.''

''Haha, that's good. Young master Shun Long, how about you enter my courtyard for a drink?''

Although Shun Long didn't have a problem having a drink with Yin Gui, he wasn't really in the mood to drink after seeing Zou Qiang's gaze. Despite having said that there was no problem, how could Shun Long not realize that this head of guards was clearly looking at him as if he was staring at an ant?

With just a glance, he quickly realized, that the reason behind this was his cultivation that was at the early rank 3 of the Nascent Soul.

Of course, Shun Long wouldn't hide his cultivation this time, since there was simply no reason to do so.

However, after seeing the frown that turned into a gaze of contempt and utter disregard from the peak rank 5 Nascent Soul cultivator behind Ying Gui a moment later, there was no way that he would simply accept Ying Gui's offer to drink together.

Thus, he shook his head before he responded with his usual cold voice

''No need. Let me know when you plan to leave for Yanzhu city instead.''
