Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

Chapter 493 Ink Trace Bookstore Squad

Zhu Wuyao spread his divine sense outwards and roughly figured out the structure of the house.

Contrary to expectations, the surrounding residents were not scattered. There was a street that ran through these households, which may have been a small path created by the passage of many people.

If the courtyard gate is left wide open, passersby will inevitably come by.

"This way please, be careful, there's a big rock here. If you're interested in renting this house, I'll come over and clear these obstacles from your way."

Zhu Wuyao leans on his white cane.

They were helped and led into the courtyard.

Aside from not being as secluded, it's pretty much the same in every other aspect, with a kitchen, bedroom, and even two guest rooms.

"If you need to hire someone, you'll also have a place to stay."

They probably figured Zhu Wuyao was well-off, and the house was more than enough for one person, so supply exceeded demand.

The furniture and such were of poor quality.

However, the structure is good and the area is large. The yard is overgrown with weeds. If it were well-maintained, there would even be room for landscaping. The reason it is so difficult to rent out is mostly due to its location.

That would perfectly suit Zhu Wuyao's needs.

She didn't plan to make too much of a fuss. As for the need to break through to the Nascent Soul stage and undergo tribulation, that was still a long way off. There would be signs beforehand, so it wouldn't involve the people around her.

Is this house for sale?

Zhu Wuyao doesn't want the landlord to come knocking on his door. If he could buy the property, he could make a clean break with the landlord.

Upon hearing this tone, the broker knew the house had been rented out, and with a smile on his face, he said:

"The landlord is a local. He's keeping the property for himself. Judging from his family's financial situation, he doesn't seem to be short of money and probably doesn't plan to sell it yet."

Zhu Wuyao nodded.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

During the days that Zhu Wuyao was looking for a place to stay, Beixuan City was quite lively.

The Canglang Anthology and the Qingzhai Anthology are at odds!

Wuyu's declaration of war has put his new book in the spotlight, and even Mohen Bookstore has been questioned, with everyone wondering if Wuyu's "comeback" is a sham.

It seems someone has used the pseudonym "Speechless" to describe this.

But this matter is difficult to prove.

Let alone the fact that Wuyu is unable to show her face, even if the real Wuyu were to stand up, it would be difficult for people to believe that she is the same person she was back then.

"It's baffling that someone would write a storybook again after twenty years. It's illogical in itself, and it's hard to tell what's true and what's false!"

"Could this speechless fellow really be the speechless disciple?"

"Tsk, Mohen Bookstore may not be a good company, but Wuyuzi is definitely a cunning and scheming person!"

This matter has caused quite a stir.

On the one hand, speechlessness itself is a topic of discussion, and on the other hand, "Qingzhai Anthology" is sparing no effort to fan the flames.

Wuyuzi, under the banner of "respecting teachers and honoring the Way" and "rectifying the name of teachers," is making a big fuss, claiming that he is the true successor of Wuyu.

It was him! He popularized the "speechless storytelling" style!

Over the years, however, the Ink Trace Bookstore has long since strayed from the path of silence.

Instead, they advocated "the way of things".

Even among book lovers, a saying has become popular—

It is said that back then, "Speechless" and "Reliable" were at odds, to the point of being irreconcilable. Ink Trace Bookstore was caught in a dilemma. In order to please the cultivators, the Gu family finally chose Reliable and abandoned Speechless.

Speechless and disheartened, he stopped writing.

As for Wuyuzi, he was taken in as a disciple by the disheartened Wuyu and taught all his knowledge, all so that one day he could take revenge on Mohen Bookstore.

He, Wuyuzi, will prove how big a mistake it was for Mohen Bookstore to abandon Master Wuyu back then!

As for the little Dingdang, it was because Mohen Bookstore wanted both things, so they chose Youdaoshi back then. However, Youdaoshi wrote too few short stories, unlike long novels which could maintain long-term popularity.

That's why I wanted to launch Doraemon to replace the speechless book that was abandoned by Mohen Bookstore.

He was speechless at the defeat he suffered back then.

This time, he's going to risk everything to expose the true face of Mohen Bookstore!

Good guy, really good guy.

Li Fuwei tugged at his beard, saying incredulously, "Back then, I sacrificed silence in order to preserve the Way of Truth?!"

Zhou Fa nodded and smiled:

"As expected of a writer, there's a certain logic even in the absurdity."

"In comparison, the book 'Youdaoshi' is indeed more appreciated by cultivators. It is quite reasonable to say that the Gu family business would abandon 'Wuyu' for the sake of 'Youdaoshi'."

Since "The Fake Heiress," the two have been working on improving the current Beast Taming system, so that this art would not become a mere trifle, and it seems that they have rediscovered a life's work that they can strive for.

The parrot on Zhou Fa's shoulder cried out:

"How many people from the Juque Sect died today! How many people from the Juque Sect died today!"

Li Fuwei already had a headache, and hearing the noisy parrot, he said helplessly:

"Old Zhou, you should also keep an eye on this parrot. You seem like a gentle and steady guy, so why are you saying these things to the parrot behind its back?"

"Don't let anyone hear this! Hey... why is this bird pecking at people?"

Zhou Fa tried to release a burst of spiritual energy to calm the parrot down, and said:

"This is a difficult matter. If it is not handled properly, how can the 'Ten Thousand Book Reviews' published by a bookstore that engages in fraud be trusted?"

In recent years, the influence of "Ten Thousand Book Reviews" has exceeded the expectations of Li Fuwei and Zhou Fa.

The profession of beast taming has also shown some ingenious applications.

Both of them loathed the Juque Sect and were hoping to use these two things to cause trouble for the sect.

“These annoying flies… have really caused trouble… If we kill them now, our Ink Trace Bookstore will be accused of murder to cover up a crime, and our reputation will be completely ruined.”

Unfortunately, for a news outlet or tabloid like "Wan Juan Shu Ping" (Ten Thousand Books Review), reputation is of utmost importance.

Zhou Fa laughed and said, "These kinds of small things are indeed easy to overlook, but they always end up causing big trouble."

"I went to the vicinity of the Juque Sect a few days ago and released some well-trained moles and sparrows. I wonder how the Juque Sect's harvest of spiritual herbs has been in recent years."

"As for Wuyuzi... it would indeed be troublesome if he had to consider the reputation of Wanjuan Book Review, but judging from his actions, it seems he is using his last trump card..."

Zhou Fa's voice stopped abruptly.

They exchanged a glance and stood up together.

They sensed someone acting suspiciously near the Ink Trace Bookstore, with faint fluctuations of spiritual energy, and wondered what they were doing.

Are you feeling better yet?

"Young Master Gu, don't rush me. I'm putting away the cultivation manual right here by this wall, right? You're not mistaken?"

“I didn’t mistake it. Anyone who throws things into the backyard of Mohen Bookstore likes to step on this spot. Ah—ah! I’ve got it, the past is repeating itself!”

"I told you it would work!"

Li Fuwei and Zhou Fa quietly approached the two men from behind.

As Luo Budao unleashed his divine power, scenes from the past began to fluctuate and gradually take shape, and then—

A large, yellow-haired dog came here, raised its leg, and shook its body as a jet of water poured down on it.

It looked around in all directions, its ears perking up alertly.

Seemingly across time and space, he realized that his secret act of marking out territory was being watched by four people.

Then it barked.
