Chapter 828 Encountering Zhu Xinrou Again

"Do you know what kind of restriction it is?" Ye Tian asked.

"It should be located on the mountaintop. If there's a chance later, we'll go take a look," Li Xuangui replied.

Ye Tian then asked, "Old Wu, what did your friend do before?"

Wu Zongnian chuckled, "Him? He was a ginseng hunter. After digging up a three-hundred-year-old ginseng, he struck it rich and started various businesses. With his savings, he came here to build this villa and open a martial arts school."

The car drove towards the mountaintop, entering a flat area where an ancient-style building had been constructed. Their cars parked in the courtyard.

A bald, burly man in his forties greeted them with a smile, "Mr. Wu, I'm so happy to know you're coming!"

Wu Zongnian smiled, "Old Pi, it's been two years since we last met. Let me introduce my good brother, Ye Tian. My brother Ye Tian is the big boss of Baozhi Company, a trillion-level magnate."

"Brother, this is Pi Kun, my good friend," he quickly introduced both parties.

Pi Kun's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "So it's Boss Ye, I've heard your name for a long time!" He then stepped forward to shake Ye Tian's hand.

"Boss Pi, I'll be bothering you today," Ye Tian said.

Pi Kun smiled, "I know about the matter. It's just about picking a few people, a small thing. Let's eat first. I've prepared some local aged wine and wild game."

The group entered the house. The interior was decorated in an antique style. Even the maids serving water were dressed in ancient attire, making the guests feel as if they had stepped back in time.

Before they could exchange many words, a voice suddenly came from the courtyard, "Pi Kun, come out."

Upon hearing this voice, Pi Kun trembled all over and quickly clasped his hands in greeting to Ye Tian and Wu Zongnian, "Excuse me, I need to step out for a moment."

"Go ahead, don't mind us," Wu Zongnian said.

Pi Kun hurried out. Faint voices of a man and a woman could be heard from outside. The woman's voice sounded somewhat familiar, and Ye Tian couldn't help but wonder if it was someone he knew.

At this moment, a young man and woman stood outside the door. The man wore a green Daoist robe, while the woman was dressed in a grey-green leather outfit, with a shapely figure and her long hair neatly tied back, giving her a concise and heroic air.

"Are there guests?" the man asked.

Pi Kun smiled, "Fourth Master, two old acquaintances have come to visit, and I was just about to entertain them."

The young Daoist, around thirty years old, had thick eyebrows, large eyes, a broad face, and slightly dark skin. He said, "Perfect, we haven't eaten yet. Let's eat together."

Pi Kun actually didn't want to keep them, but he didn't dare offend them, so he could only force a dry laugh, "Of course, let's eat together."

After inviting them into the main hall, Ye Tian's heart stirred upon seeing the woman. The last time he went to Qingling Blessed Land, he had met a woman, and it was the very Zhu Xinrou standing before him.

Pi Kun smiled, "My dear sirs, this is Fourth Master Guo, and this is Miss Zhu. Both are from cultivation families. Please get acquainted."

Fourth Master Guo's gaze swept over them and landed on Duan Hai. "Oh, there's a Martial King here."

Duan Hai remained expressionless and said nothing. His duty was to protect Wu Zongnian, and nothing else mattered.

Pi Kun said, "This is Master Duan, Mr. Wu's bodyguard."

The so-called Fourth Master Guo swaggered to the main seat, showing no regard for anyone present. The woman sat to the side, her beautiful eyes darting around, eventually settling on Ye Tian.

Ye Tian had not revealed himself when he had intervened before, so this woman, Zhu Xinrou, did not recognize him.

However, upon seeing Ye Tian, Zhu Xinrou felt a sense of familiarity and looked at him closely a few times.

Pi Kun then introduced Ye Tian, "This is Ye Tian, the owner of Baozhi Company."

Fourth Master Guo did not seem to be listening. In his eyes, Ye Tian and Wu Zongnian were mere mortals, not worth his attention. He immediately said, "Serve the food. After eating, we still have to go to the Great Zen Temple."

Pi Kun looked a bit awkward, glancing at Ye Tian and Wu Zongnian.

Wu Zongnian disliked dining with strangers, especially with this arrogant Guo fellow. He said indifferently, "Old Pi, please let them eat first. Ye and I will take a walk around."

With that, the two of them got up to leave.

Fourth Master Guo's expression darkened, and he said, "What do you mean? Do you think Fourth Master and I are not worthy of sitting and eating with you?"
