Chapter 387: Stingy, the character
After Lin Chujiu finished writing the letter, she let it dry and then immediately sealed it.
This was Lin Chujiu’s first time using a wax seal, she didn’t use it correctly. It looks ugly, but at least it was perfectly sealed.
Su Cha almost cries when he saw the seal.
Lin Chujiu and Xiao Tianyao’s approach in sending a letter was the same. Xiao Tianyao’s letter was neatly folded and sealed. Lin Chujiu’s letter was folded uneven, but almost perfectly sealed.
They simply forcing the messenger to die, if he was very curious to know what’s inside.
So sad.
While holding the letter, Su Cha couldn’t help but have an urge to look at the letter. He wanted to know what’s written inside.
Seriously, I wanted to see what’s inside, what should I do?
With resentment, Su Cha left Xiao Wangfu… …

After Demon Lord left Xiao Wangfu, he went to the newly built building of Tiancang Pavilion.
Just like a ghost, a bloody red cloak suddenly appeared in the room of the fat envoy. In order for the fat envoy discover his arrival, Demon Lord tapped the table.
“Who?” The fat envoy was holding a beautiful woman. He was ready to spend a beautiful night with her, but suddenly, he was interrupted. The fat envoy pushed the beauty away in his arms. He picked up his clothes and hurriedly went outside.
A bloody red cloak entered his eyes. The fat envoy hasn’t seen the face of the person, but he immediately showed a charming smile: “It turned out to be Demon Lord. Demon Lord suddenly came to visit, this daren wasn’t able to welcome you well, please forgive this insolence.”
“This lord wants to buy news.” Demon Lord didn’t talk nonsense and just went straight to the point.
“The Tiancang Pavilion’s business is to sell news, what does his lordship want to buy?” For a guest, who came to his door to do business, the fat envoy was naturally very enthusiastic. Of course, Xiao Tianyao was an exception, even if Xiao Tianyao was very generous every time he bought news, he… …
If he will calculate it right, he lost much more money.
“The whereabouts of the southern fifth prince.” When he finished talking, he throws worth of 100,000 silver coins on the table.
When the fat envoy saw it, he wanted to to take it, but… …
“Demon Lord, you know our rules, we don’t sell news about the royal families.” The fat envoy’s face was full of pain.
The Tiancang Pavilion was destroyed before, the reconstruction cost him a lot of money. He needs silvers now.
*Plop* Demon Lord throw another 100,000 silvers.
The fat envoy gnawed his teeth and stared at the money will full of love. He was very reluctant to remove his eyes.
Buying a piece of news for 200,000 silvers, it was obviously too much.
*Plop* Demon Lord throw another 100,000 silvers. To sum it up, it was a total of 300,000 silver coins.
The fat envoy’s eyes brightly shine, but he still clenched his teeth and… …
This time, Demon Lord didn’t throw another money, instead, he grabbed the fat envoy’s neck and said: “This lord’s patience is very limited.” Seriously, he was a son from a rich family, money can flow to his hand just like a gush of wind.
“Cough…” The fat envoy got scared, his legs soften. But before he stumbled, Demon Lord let go of him: “Don’t you really want to sell news about Nannuo Li?”
What he meant to say was that the 300,000 silver coins were his limit.
The fat envoy just escaped, but fear still lingered in his heart. Seeing the 300, 000 silver coins, he swallowed his saliva and said: “Demon Lord, you know the rules of Tiancang Pavilion. We can’t sell news about Nannuo Royal Family.”
The fat envoy said as if he was a righteous person, but when Demon Lord was about to collect the silvers, the fat envoy quickly went to grab it. Then, eagerly said: “However, if you want to ask something else, I will definitely tell you.”
Every man is wise. The fat envoy said it like this, naturally, Demon Lord asked: “Where is the secret entrance of the hidden wind mountain?” The hidden wind mountain is the place where the southern people built the mountain village. Demon Lord changed his question, but the meaning was the same.
The fat envoy knew that the other party was already in there. He smiled and collected the 300,000 silvers: “It is said that there is a deep pond in the hidden wind mountain. No one knows how deep it is. Demon Lord, if you are interested, you can go in there and see. Maybe you will have unexpected gains.”
After taking the silver coins, the fat envoy said straightforwardly. So, how can Demon Lord not understand?
“Tiancang Pavilion really deserved its name.” Demon Lord got what he wanted, so he left. He disappeared in an instant. Just like the usual, he didn’t alarm anyone.

When Demon Lord left, the fat envoy counted the silver coins in his hand again and again. His eyes that were not visible because of his fat face suddenly flashed cold. He leaned in the chair in a daze. No one could tell what he was thinking.
The beauty inside the room, seeing the fat envoy haven’t come inside, sweetly called out loud: “Daren… …”
“What are you yelling for!” The fat envoy said impatiently, “Get out, get out, get out…”
“Yes, yes, yes.” The beauty didn’t dare to act delicate, she grabbed her clothes and went outside.
The fat envoy once again leaned on his chair. After a long while, he called his men: “Go and tell Xue Gongzi, that I have big news for him. Ask him if he is willing to buy it for 300,000 silver coins, alright?”
Young Master Xue Chengwen was the heir of the Xue Family in the Southern Country.
As for the reason why the fat envoy was looking for him, the reason was very simple… …
Xue Chengwen and Nannuo Li’s relationship was good. The fat envoy doesn’t know what Demon Lord wanted to do with Nannuo Li. He cannot control the situation, but he can sell this news to Xue Family and earn a big profit.

As soon as Demon Lord got the news, he met with Su Cha: “The secret entrance to the Hidden Wind Mountain is in the deep pond near the villa. Immediately arrange people to look for it. No delay is allowed so that others cannot look grab the opportunity.”
The character of the fat envoy, Demon Lord knows it very clearly. He never trusted Tiancang Pavilion.
“Well, I will arrange it.” Obviously, Su Cha also knows how shameless the Tiancang Pavilion is. The people of the Tiancang Pavilion has no credibility at all.
Su Cha turned to leave, but then he remembered something at the door: “Right, Wangfei wrote you a reply. Do you want to see it now, or just let me send it to you like an official letter?”
Su Cha asked, but he was obviously playing at him. Demon Lord said with a cold face: “Give it!”
*Pfft* Su Cha smirked, as if to say, he knew he will say that.
Su Cha handed the letter with a seal that looks like got chewed by the dog to Demon Lord. Then, he thickened his face and went to his side. He stretches out his neck and asked while looking at the letter: “What did wangfei write in the letter?”
He’s itchy, he was really itchy to know… …
“Move!” Demon Lord impolitely lifted his foot and kicked Su Cha. He didn’t put too much force, but Su Cha flew and fell three meters away.
*Plop* Su Cha’s butt fell on the ground. He screamed with teary eyes: “You dare to destroy the bridge after crossing the river! Now that you marry a wife, you’re throwing the matchmaker to the wall, be careful to put a hole… …” Or you might destroy the house!
Demon Lord didn’t give Su Cha an opportunity to finish his words. He swept his cold eyes at him and said: “You’re still not going to do what this lord ask you to do?”
His cold eyes looked as sharp as a knife, coupled with his scary mask. Although Su Cha was accustomed to it, he got startled. He busily climbed up and ran outside.
He really doesn’t have to see it. He was just asking. If he doesn’t want to say anything, then don’t, right?
He’s just simply stingy!
