Chu Liuyue stopped in her tracks.

Ming Shu smiled and replied, “Yeah. Ms. Mu, you received the news so quickly. Second Boss just came back, and you found out.”

Mu Yafeng smiled gently. “Second Boss left for many years, and we can’t help but miss him. May I know if Second Boss is upstairs? I have something to discuss with him.”

Ming Shu immediately said, “He’s here. Ms. Mu, hold on for a while. I’ll ask for permission.”

“Sorry for the trouble, Lord Ming.”

“It’s just a small matter. Don’t mind too much about it.” Then, Ming Shu went upstairs.

The entire Zhen Bao Pavilion was in their control, so he wasn’t worried that anything would happen if he left for a while.

But after Ming Shu went upstairs, the people on the first floor looked shocked and discussed softly.

“Second Boss actually came back? When did this happen? Why didn’t I hear of it?”

“I think it was a few days ago… We don’t know the specifics either. It was just a small piece of news that spread in private. However, I don’t think Second Boss revealed himself after he came back.”

“He did leave for quite some time, right? I wonder what he was doing. Some people guessed that he left Fantasy Divine Palace…”

“Shh! You can’t casually say such things. Besides, that’s not important. What’s important is that the Second Boss is back, which means Zhen Bao Pavilion’s main inventory can finally be opened, right? Ever since he left, Zhen Bao Pavilion only had two tiny side inventories operating, and there were very few good items.”

“That’s true. But speaking of which, Ms. Mu has quite a lot of face. Once she came, she directly asked to see Second Boss. If it were me, I wouldn’t have such confidence. Hah!”

“After all, she’s the one with the most hope to finish the Star Path, and Seventh Deity thinks very highly of her. She’s different from us.”

…

Mu Yafeng stood there with her hands on top of each other on her stomach, looking calm. Only the slight ripples in her eyes showed some faint nobility.

After a moment, Ming Shu came down.

She looked up and smiled brightly again. “Lord Ming, can I go up now?”

However, Ming Shu had a strange expression. He hesitated for a moment and politely rejected her. “Ms. Mu, Second Boss said that he’s not feeling well today, so he won’t see any customers. You can just let me know if you have any issues. It’s the same.”

Once this was said, the entire first floor instantly fell silent.

The smile on Mu Yafeng’s immediately froze. “Lord Ming, what does this mean?”
Ming Shu was also in a difficult spot, but he did not dare to go against Second Boss’s words. “Second Boss has been having quite a hard time recently. Please forgive him.”

He was determined to not let her go up.

Mu Yafeng pressed her lips against each other. When I came in the past, Second Boss would never refuse to see me. As for not feeling well… It is just an excuse. He just doesn’t want to see me. However, I haven’t seemed to offend that person?

Mu Yafeng thought for a while and had no clue, so she could only temporarily suppress these thoughts. “Actually, I came today mainly because I felt that I haven’t seen Second Boss in a few years, so I specifically came to visit him. But since it’s still inconvenient for Second Boss now… forget it then.”

Ming Shu heaved a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face became more genuine. “Thank you for your understanding, Ms. Mu. You can just look around then. If you have anything you like, you can just say it.”

Mu Yafeng smiled faintly. “You’re too kind. May I know if the second verse of the ‘Li Fire Xuan Painting’ is still on the second floor?”

Ming Shu said, “Oh this? It’s still there.”

‘Li Fire Xuan Painting’ was split into two verses, and it recorded thousands of Grandmaster-level Xuan formations. It had detailed explanations, and it was very beneficial to a Xuan Master’s cultivation.

In comparison, the first verse was simpler, and the second one was much harder. That was also why the price of the second verse was a few times higher than the first one.

Even for the people in Fantasy Divine Palace, it was also an astronomical price.

Previously, Mu Yafeng bought the first verse and relied on it to greatly reduce the time she needed to study the Xuan formations on the Star Path.

A few days ago, she was stuck again and helplessly gave up. Thus, she had to leave the Star Path once again.

She had studied it on her own for a few days but had no clue at all. At this time, she then realized whatever Seventh Deity previously said was not an exaggeration.

If she really did it herself, she might not succeed in the next few years. However, she really didn’t want to wait so long, so she thought of the second verse of Li Fire Xuan Painting.’

Even though this item was very, very expensive, and buying it would bankrupt her and even leave her with debts… She had made up her mind.

Today, she was coming for this.

Hearing that the item was still around, she revealed a smile. “Since it’s here, I would like to go to the second floor to buy it.”

As she spoke, she lifted her legs and wanted to go up to the second floor.

However, Ming Shu suddenly stretched out his hand and stopped her. “Ms. Mu, hold on. You can’t go up to the second floor.”

Mu Yafeng never expected her to be stopped here, and she was stunned for a moment. “Why… is that so?”

Indeed not everybody could go up to Zhen Bao Pavilion’s second floor. However, she wasn’t one of them.

In the past, I have come to Zhen Bao Pavilion many times, and I could enter and leave the second floor freely. However, why can’t I go there all of a sudden?

“Lord Ming, are you worried that I can’t afford the second verse of ‘Li Fire Xuan Painting?’”

“That’s not true.” Ming Shu rubbed his hands, as if he were picking his words. “But… I’m afraid we can’t sell the second verse to you.”

Mu Yafeng was stunned.

Ming Shu paused and explained, “Second Boss said that… From today onward, only the first floor will be open. The second floor and the third floor will be closed for now. The items inside are similarly not for sale. The second verse of ‘Li Fire Xuan Painting’ is on the second floor, so it’s naturally included. Please head back.”

Mu Yafeng had never experienced such treatment. Not only did they not let me up to the second floor, but they don’t plan to sell the item?

Her face turned cold. “Lord Ming, Zhen Bao Pavilion is open for business. I’m afraid it’s inappropriate for you to reject people like this, right?”

Even though the people at the side did not speak, their expressions showed that they agreed with what Mu Yafeng said very much.

Even though the first floor had quite a lot of good items, everyone knew that the better ones were on the second floor and the third floor.

Now, they didn’t allow them to go up nor did they sell the items. What did this count for?

Ming Shu curled his lips, and his tone was so polite but did not allow for rebuttal. “Ms. Mu, you’re still not in the position to question how my Zhen Bao Pavilion does business.”

“But Sister Yafeng is not wrong. Who opens their store and does not sell items? It’s not that we can’t afford it!” The woman standing beside Mu Yafeng couldn’t hold herself back and softly whined.

However, the room was currently very quiet, so the crowd present could hear her clearly.

The last bit of smile disappeared from Ming Shu’s face. He stood with one hand behind his back, and his voice became cold. “This is Master’s orders.”

Mu Yafeng was instantly stunned, and cold intent rose from her feet and shot up to her head!
