Chapter 2036 - 22: Not the Decision-Maker
At midnight, Ao Cangsheng finally broke through five aspects of the Celestial realm, stepping into the sixth.
The next morning, after breakfast, Ao Cangsheng and Nangong Shouhong went to Wudang together.
Wudang is located south of Qianfeng City. Although its strength has long been among the top in Qianyuan City, its area is not very large.
As soon as they arrived at the Wudang Sect, they caught the attention of the guards.
"Dear gentlemen, I am here to see your master. Please inform him."
Seeing the two guards, Ao Cangsheng said humbly.
"Who are you? Why do you want to see our hall master?"
The two guards didn’t look at Ao Cangsheng. Suddenly, upon hearing that Ao Cangsheng wanted to see their Hall Master, one of them immediately became alert and intimidating.
"I have something to say to your hall master. Please inform him."
Ao Cangsheng smiled slightly, his tone still modest.
"Do you have an entry permission?"
Another guard glanced at Ao Cangsheng and raised his eyelids.
"No."
Ao Cangsheng replied.
"Without the entry pass, you cannot enter the Five Taoist Hall."
The guard looked at Ao Cangsheng, showing disdain.
"I’m sorry, gentlemen. I have something important to tell your master."
Seeing the two guards refuse to report, Ao Cangsheng frowned slightly.
"No way! Our master has many things to deal with daily. Do you think you can see him just like that?"
"If anyone could casually see our master, then would he be doing anything every day, just waiting to see you?"
One of the guards coldly glanced at Ao Cangsheng without showing any courtesy.
"Dear gentlemen, please inform him. Yuan Jing should invite you for a drink!"
Ao Cangsheng knew high doors had many rules, so he didn’t resent the two guards in front of him.
He raised his right hand and stuffed two third-grade jades into the hands of the guards.
"What are you doing, kid? Do you think you can just bribe us with these two jades?"
"Honestly, without an entry pass, you can’t meet our hall master."
"Before we get angry, you’d better leave, or we won’t be polite!"
The two guards not only refused Ao Cangsheng’s Yuan Jing, but one suddenly cursed Ao Cangsheng.
As the saying goes, dogs nurture people. At this moment, Ao Cangsheng fully understood this truth.
Looking at the arrogant faces of the two guards, Ao Cangsheng couldn’t help but look at Nangong Shouhong and bitterly smile.
At this time, Nangong Shouhong was hiding his face under a cloak and smiling at Ao Cangsheng.
"Little brothers, give me face, please inform your master."
Just as Ao Cangsheng was secretly bitterly smiling, Nangong Shouhong suddenly spoke.
"Who are you? Dare to act in front of us..."
Upon hearing Nangong Shouhong’s words, the guard immediately shouted coldly.
But before he finished speaking, his face suddenly froze.
Just then, Nangong Shouhong suddenly lifted his bamboo hat, revealing an expressionless face.
As soon as the guards saw Nangong Shouhong’s face, they were shocked.
As the head of the Golden Core Hospital, Nangong Shouhong naturally met these two guards.
Therefore, even though Nangong Shouhong only lifted his bamboo hat at this moment, the guards still recognized his identity.
"Master Nangong"
Looking at Nangong Shouhong’s surprised face, the guard stammered.
"Do you recognize me?"
Nangong Shouhong asked with a smile.
"Of course. You are the head of the Golden Core Hospital. Your name is as well-known as thunder."
The guard suddenly appeared very respectful, bowing to Nangong Shouhong.
"Can you inform your hall master now? I have a younger brother who wants to see him."
Nangong Shouhong did not act arrogantly, remaining kind.
"Alright, no problem. I will report to Hall Master right now."
The guard changed his arrogant stance and turned to rush inside the gate.
"Master Nangong, please come inside. I suspected it might be you. Even if given a hundred times the courage, I would not dare to speak to you like that."
"I hope your excellency ignores the past and doesn’t take what happened to heart."
The remaining guard smiled and invited Nangong Shouhong into the Five Taoist Hall.
"No, Wudang is a significant force in Qianye City. Naturally, it has a way to treat guests."
Nangong Shouhong smiled. Although he didn’t mind his words, his words seemed to mock Wudang.
Hearing these words.
Ao Cangsheng stared coldly at the middle-aged man in blue.
Having said that, he turned and walked forward, ignoring the middle-aged man in blue.
"Thief, where do you think you’re going? Now that I’ve personally led you here, let’s stay today."
Just as the middle-aged blue suddenly shouted coldly, his body flickered and slapped Ao Cangsheng.
It seemed he wanted to directly kill Ao Cangsheng here.
"Being rude when guests enter the door, is it the way Wudang entertains guests?"
Before the middle-aged blue clothes could hit, a big hand had already grabbed his wrist.
The middle-aged blue clothes only felt tightness in his wrist. It seemed as though the force of millions was suppressing his muscles and meridians, making it difficult to move.
Suddenly, the young man in blue changed his face.
Surprised, the young man in blue stopped suddenly, wanting to attack again.
However, to his astonishment, his hands were confiscated.
"Who are you?"
In a blink of an eye, the middle-aged blue clothes opened his eyes wide, a look of astonishment and fear staring at the bean-sized man in front of him, causing a shocking surge in his heart.
It is worth noting that in the true Dragon Clan realm, the middle-aged man in blue is one of the four major strongmen. Even if fierce, he wasn’t his match.
But now, his wrist was stiff, unable to move.
This means the person in front is more powerful than him.
Nangong Shouhong did not speak, but raised his hand to remove the top hat.
"Nangong Shouhong?!"
Soon after, he saw the middle-aged blue clothes shockingly speak.
"How is it you?"
After a moment of shock, the middle-aged blue clothes asked again.
"What, are you amazed at my visit to Wudang?"
Nangong Shouhong gave a cold laugh, releasing the middle-aged blue clothes from his grip.
Knowing his words might not be appropriate, the middle-aged blue clothes fell silent.
Actually, he wanted to ask why Nangong Shouhong and Ao Cangsheng came to the Five Taoist Hall.
But because of the confrontation just now, the middle-aged blue clothes felt messy.
As the blue middle-aged man was clearing his mind, the guard appeared in the corridor again.
"Hall Master Nangong, please visit our hall master!"
The guard quickly walked up to Nangong Shouhong, speaking respectfully.
Then he bowed to the middle-aged blue clothing and said, "Greetings, Seventh Elder."
The middle-aged man in blue didn’t look at the guard but turned his gaze to Ao Cangsheng, saying, "Kid, you are lucky today, I’ll let you go this time."
"But you’d better be careful. Don’t bump into me next time."
After saying that, the middle-aged man in blue glared fiercely at Nangong Shouhong before turning to leave with a flick of his wide sleeves.
After the man left, Ao Cangsheng turned to Nangong Shouhong and said, "Who is he?"
"Shouhong said, "Wang Family’s Seventh Elder, Wang Tongke."
"He seems to have a good relationship with the Li Family."
Ao Cangsheng commented.
"Not necessarily. From what I know, the Wang Family usually keeps a distance from other forces and rarely interferes in other affairs."
Nangong Shouhong responded as they walked.
"So, is Wang Tongke intentionally getting close to the Li Family?"
Ao Cangsheng slightly furrowed his brows.
"Not necessarily. Within each faction, there can be multiple subgroups."
"To vie for control, each faction has different ways of conducting themselves."
"Thus, it’s hard to say if Wang Tongke is trying to cozy up to the Li Family!"
Nangong Shouhong explained.
"Seems like that’s true!"
Ao Cangsheng nodded.
As they talked while walking, it wasn’t long before they arrived at the True Martial Hall of Five Taoist Hall.
The True Martial Hall is where Wang Taibei, Hall Master of Five Taoist Hall, cultivates and receives important guests.
