Chapter 470 Keeping the Benefit for Himself Is Hard
"Old Geng, is there really a grandmaster here?"
Outside the door, behind the Taoist, a group of people dressed in Taoist robes walked over. The Taoist priest's name was Geng Dun.
At the moment, he nodded solemnly, chin slightly raised, pinching his beard with a haughty air as he spoke, "When have I ever deceived you? The person inside is indeed a super powerful grandmaster. When you see her later, remember to show some respect. Otherwise, if you see something you shouldn't, don't blame me for not warning you."
"And," he lowered his voice, whispering, "As agreed, once you receive the grandmaster's talisman, each of you must give me one every month. Otherwise, if there are any good opportunities in the future, I won't introduce them to you anymore."
Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou's eyes widened in disbelief, glaring at him.
How dare he, compete for business with her, the well-known intermediary Qin Caicai! Hmph!
Sensing her gaze, Geng Dun stiffened his neck and turned to look at her.
Upon seeing her, his neck shrunk, awkwardly smiling, then walked over respectfully, saying, "Little Celestial Master, I've brought the people."@@@@
At her words, Zhouzhou nodded, her chubby paws behind her back.
Taking a step forward with her short legs, she walked up to them, carefully inspecting them, and asked two questions.
None of them answered correctly, and even if they did, it was only partial knowledge.
Geng Dun stood by with his hands folded, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes. This was exactly the effect he wanted.
He deliberately brought people who were inferior to him, so they wouldn't overshadow him.
Otherwise, how could he make Little Celestial Master favor him more and give him more talismans?
Little did he expect that Zhouzhou would be so pleased. She clapped her paws and said, "Not bad, not bad. The people you've brought are good."
Geng Dun's smile froze on his face, looking at her bewilderedly, vaguely doubting whether he had misheard.
He whispered, "Little Celestial Master, these people's skills are not that great."
Upon hearing this, the other Taoists glared at him angrily, saying who's not good? Where could he excel? Weren't they all just playing with psychology? A few days of absence and he looked down on people again?
Huh.
But Zhouzhou was even happier. "They have to be not good."
As the Ancestral Master said, they were all pests harming the sect. The worse they were, the greater the harm to the sect, the more room for improvement they had after repenting, the more merits they would gain.
Yes, yes, yes, she hadn't misjudged him. He was good at finding people!
After listening to her explanation, Geng Dun's heart sank. He never expected things to turn out like this. He regretted it immediately.
But if he had found a group of talented people, it wouldn't be his problem.
Anyway, no matter what, the result would be the same.
With this in mind, Geng Dun felt relieved.
He rubbed his hands together and smiled pleasingly, "Little Celestial Master, how about the reward this time..."
Seeing this, the others felt that Zhouzhou was just fooling around. Rolling their eyes, they couldn't be bothered to play with her and walked out directly.
Zhouzhou wasn't in a hurry either. She sat down on the steps, took out some melon seeds from her bag, and even invited Geng Dun to join her.
After all, they would have to wait a long time for them to come out.
Geng Dun had never seen this move of hers before, standing outside, he could see more clearly.
Clearly, it was just a courtyard, even if it was a bit big, it wasn't outrageous.
Time passed by second by second, and it was almost fifteen minutes, but these people were still circling in place, unable to walk out.
He couldn't help but be curious, "Little Celestial Master, is this also ghosting?"
Zhouzhou shook her head, "No, this is a trapped formation."
A formation? She even knew this.
Suddenly, Geng Dun's admiration for her deepened, and looking at the fools still spinning in place, he couldn't help but smile.
Let them not believe his words, see, they're suffering now.
He was straightforward, why didn't anyone believe him?
Sigh.
Half an hour later, the people in the formation couldn't move anymore. Looking at Zhouzhou anxiously, they asked, "Little girl, what did you do?"
Zhouzhou didn't answer but asked back, "Are you willing to work for me? I pay for your work, don't let you work for free."
At her words, Geng Dun stood behind her, vigorously shaking his head at them, indicating that they shouldn't agree.
That way, all the money would be his.
His mind was calculating frantically, but they weren't fools. Looking at his expression, they might have not believed him before, but now, this little girl obviously had extraordinary abilities.
If she were really a scammer, Geng Dun wouldn't have needed to find her; he was quite good at cheating around.
Something wasn't right, there was a catch.
Those with quick minds immediately realized that there must be something beneficial for Geng Dun here, she probably did have some real abilities.
Immediately, one of them said, "I agree!"
After one agreed, the others followed suit one after another.
In the end, there were still two who wanted to consider it a bit longer. Zhouzhou didn't mind.
With a flick of her finger, a pebble fell in a certain direction, and the people in the formation finally took a step forward. This time, they finally stopped spinning in place.
She really was a master!
Suddenly, some people reacted to Geng Dun's demeanor just now and realized that he probably wanted to monopolize the benefits.
This guy!
