Chapter 517: With My Own Shop (2/2)
Shen Muqing was not a fool; she immediately knew what was going on. As expected, Mo Wuji was of startling origins, otherwise, Du Ju and Cha Kai wouldn’t have behaved in such a manner. He was even personally sent out by the shopkeeper despite destroying the Treasure Pavilion’s stone lion.
Moreover, there was also that Ao Tiancheng that left first; that guy clearly seemed to suffer some loss. Why would Ao Tiancheng suffer a loss? Even if Shen Muqing used her limbs to think, she could also deduce that it was because Ao Tiancheng was the one to cause Dou Hualong’s injuries.
Shen Muqing inhaled deeply; she had missed the opportunity to befriend Mo Wuji. This incident had also let her understand one principle: if she wanted to befriend a person, she should not worry or fear anything. If she had an attitude that only cared about the benefits and did not want to share hardships, then she would be completely unable to make a true friend. She guessed that Mo Wuji wasn’t ordinary, but when she could contribute to help him, she hesitated.
Fortunately, she was now acquainted with Mo Wuji, so she didn’t waste her previous efforts. Even though she couldn’t become a bosom friend of Mo Wuji’s, she was an acquaintance at the very least, and she even left behind a favour. There was nothing bad about that.
…
Mo Wuji did not immediately return to Riverface Immortal Resthouse, but headed to the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. Dou Hualong told him that Gong Yi had already helped him set up a store; he wanted to see how the store turned out.
”Elder Mo.” Just as Mo Wuji reached the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Sharphorn Branch, Gong Yi received the news and came to welcome him.
Mo Wuji said respectfully, ”Deacon Gong, I will be behind closed doors during this period of time. I will have to trouble you for help.”
Gong Yi grinned to the point where his eyes couldn’t be seen and he said hurriedly, ”There’s no trouble, no trouble at all. We’ve already found a store. It was primarily due to Manager Guo’s help, I was merely a runner.”
As he spoke, Gong Yi brought out a scroll and passed it to Mo Wuji, ”This is the store’s contract deed. In the future, this store would be Elder Mo’s.”
Mo Wuji originally wanted to rent a store; he never expected that Guo Qi would buy him one. He hurriedly said, ”Then I would have to thank Sister Guo. I need to do that personally, and pass her the money at the same time.”
Purchasing a store in Sharphorn Immortal Ruins definitely didn’t cost a small number. Even if Mo Wuji wasn’t able to afford it, he wanted to know the price, then think of how he could repay it.
Gong Yi hurriedly said, ”Manager Guo, President Shang and Pill King Shunan have left Sharphorn Immortal Ruins due to an urgent matter. President Shang even said that he would invite Elder Mo for a banquet when he returns.”
Leave Sharphorn Immortal Ruins for an urgent matter? Something that could get the few important figures of Pill Dao Immortal Ruins to leave at the same time definitely wasn’t a small matter.
”Elder Mo, let me bring you to the store.” Gong Yi was very quick-witted. Mo Wuji was a capable Pill King that even Manager Guo and Second President Shang wanted to befriend. Now that he had the opportunity, he would naturally help and befriend Mo Wuji.
”Alright, then I would have to trouble Deacon Gong.” Mo Wuji nodded.
…
The store that Guo Qi found for Mo Wuji was half an hour away from Pill Dao Immortal Alliance; it could not be considered very far. Even though it wasn’t in the the busiest place in Sharphorn Immortal Ruins, there was a constant and steady flow of people.
What left Mo Wuji most satisfied was that this store wasn’t small. It was hundreds of square meters in area, and it even had three floors.
It was already considered incredibly to have such a store in Sharphorn Immortal Ruins. Even some sizeable sects would not be able to have such a territory.
The moment he entered the store, Mo Wuji saw rows of shiny product cabinets. Even though the cabinets were empty, it showed that the person who decided the layout had been very diligent.
”Many thanks Deacon Gong.” Mo Wuji expressed his gratitude sincerely.
Gong Yi waved his hand slightly awkwardly. He seemed to have something to say but he felt uncomfortable saying it.
Mo Wuji asked curiously, ”Does Deacon Gong want to say something?”
Gong Yi suddenly kneel on the ground, ”Elder Mo, my Pill Dao has been stagnant. I want to plead elder to be my teacher.
Mo Wuji startled; this fella was really something. This Gong Yi was already a Grand Yi Immortal, but he wanted to take a Golden Immortal as a teacher?
”Please stand up and take. I’m also in the process of learning, so I can’t take any disciples,” Mo Wuji said indifferently.
It wasn’t because he didn’t want to take in disciples, but it was because Gong Yi didn’t satisfy his standards for a disciple.
Seeing Gong Yi stand up despondently, Mo Wuji consoled, ”You’re also the Assessment Deacon for Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, so it isn’t convenient for you to come here…”
”Elder Mo, I can come here and work for you. Our Pill Dao Immortal Alliance doesn’t care too much about this. Our pill refiners don’t get restrained by the alliance, they can do anything they want,” Gong Yi said hurriedly.
Mo Wuji sank into contemplation; his pill house was opening, so he would need some help. This Gong Yi was slightly snobbish, but he was an experienced person. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji nodded, ”Since that’s the case, you can work here. I can give you some pointers occasionally, but regarding me being your master, there’s no need to talk about that.”
”Many thanks Elder Mo,” Gong Yi rejoiced and said. What he wanted now was to be by Mo Wuji’s side and study the Pill Dao.
