Sweet pet: The queen is delicate and soft

Wanyankang didn't let the people waiting for a long time. The day after the housekeeper found Gu Nian to report the incident, Wanyankang went to Lao Zhao's teahouse again.

When Old Zhao saw Wan Yankang, he immediately ordered someone to notify the butler at the headquarters. After all, the person the man was looking for was his mistress, and he had to pay attention.

However, Lao Zhao also knew very well that if he showed too much importance to Wan Yankang, it might arouse the other party's suspicion. Therefore, he maintained a calm attitude and did not show too much enthusiasm. He asked the waiter to lead Wan Yankang upstairs to an elegant box as usual.

"Boy, I want to see your shopkeeper." Wan Yankang's tone was firm, and he directly stated his purpose without beating around the bush.

He came here for no other purpose than to see the teahouse manager. The last trial and the recent investigation made Wan Yankang deeply aware of the difficulty of finding his sister alone. He has made up his mind to leave the important task of finding his sister to Tinglou. And he also firmly believes that with the help of Tinglou's power, he will be able to find his long-lost sister faster.

When the waiter heard Wan Yankang's request, he didn't show the slightest surprise. Although he didn't know Wanyankang's background or who the person he was looking for was, he knew that the people who came here, except for those who knew nothing about Tinglou and just came here for taste, Apart from Ming's guests, everyone else came with their own purposes. In such a complicated world, everyone has their own story and everyone has their own purpose. And the man in front of him who asked for the shopkeeper by name was no exception.

In this teahouse, all kinds of people gather together for different purposes. Some people come here to seek the truth, some come here to look for clues, and some come here just to kill time.

Wanyankang, on the other hand, is looking for his long-lost relatives with a fiery heart. After two days of exploration and testing, he believed that he could get clues about his sister in this teahouse.

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment. I'll ask the shopkeeper to come over."

The waiter nodded slightly and signaled Wanyankang to wait a moment. Because the shopkeeper has already explained it, the waiter will naturally not stop the young man in front of him from meeting the shopkeeper.

Wan Yankang nodded slightly and signaled to the waiter that he already understood. Then he picked up the tea cup and savored the aroma of tea. Wearing gorgeous robes, he has an extraordinary bearing, and his every move reveals the elegance and calmness of a noble.

The shopkeeper did not keep Wanyankang waiting for too long, and soon appeared at the door of Wanyankang's private room.

"Sir, you are looking for me." Lao Zhao walked into the door with steady steps, a calm expression and a calm tone. He had already anticipated Wanyankang's arrival, so he did not show any surprise.

"Shopkeeper, we meet again."

Wan Yankang raised his tea cup and responded, his tone neither humble nor arrogant. Even though he was asking for help from Lao Zhao, as a superior, he did not show any humility of asking for help. He just greeted Lao Zhao with a plain attitude, which not only demonstrated his identity, but also reflected his respect for Lao Zhao.

Lao Zhao stepped through the door and walked straight to Wan Yankang. With firm eyes and a hint of seriousness on his face, he sat directly opposite Wan Yankang without any hesitation or procrastination.

He didn't make any small talk or any extra courtesy. He spoke bluntly: "Young Master Wanyan must have something to give me when you come today."

His tone was full of confidence, as if everything was as expected. Wanyankang was not surprised at all by Lao Zhao's attitude and the direct revelation of his identity.

After all, the Tinglou where Lao Zhao works is famous in the world, and its strength has long been praised by the people of Daliang as miraculous. No emotion could be seen on Lao Zhao's face. He seemed to have seen through the bustle and hustle and bustle of the world. His eyes were like a deep pool, making it impossible to peer into his inner world.

"Exactly."

Wan Yankang also didn't talk much, but his posture didn't mean to be compared to Lao Zhao. The conversation between the two seemed to be about to begin. This is a dialogue between wise men, and it is also a test of strength.

"Young Master, it doesn't matter if you say it." Old Zhao made a gesture of invitation, asking Wan Yankang to tell him his purpose.

"Please forgive me, shopkeeper. I have never dealt with your sect. I wonder what kind of price I have to pay?"

Wan Yankang understood that if he wanted to use this Jianghu power for his own advantage, the price would be high, and he had the ability to bear this price. However, in order to ensure nothing goes wrong, Wan Yankang decided to find out first what price he would have to pay if he wanted Ting Lou to do things for him.

After all, Tinglou was a force in Daliang, and they already knew Wanyankang's identity as the king. In terms of money, no matter how much it is, Wanyankang has enough strength to pay it. However, he is worried that once he expresses his intention, whether the other party will take the opportunity to demand some other price. If that's the case, then he needs to give it some serious thought.

After all, no matter where the Jianghu forces are, they are always known for their mystery and uncertainty. They often put forward some unexpected conditions at critical moments. And these conditions may sometimes even exceed what money can bear. Therefore, Wan Yankang hopes to understand these potential risks in advance so that he can be fully prepared.

Old Zhao also knew Wanyankang's concerns, so he replied with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Wanyan, I am doing things for you. Although I sometimes receive some information as a reward, it is all based on the client." It’s on a voluntary basis. We only accept cash and nothing else.”

With these words from Old Zhao, Wanyankang felt much more relieved, so he took the painting at hand and unfolded it in front of Old Zhao.

"Shopkeeper, the person I'm looking for is the daughter of the woman in this painting. But I only have a portrait of this woman, but I guess her appearance should be somewhat similar."

After receiving Lao Zhao's assurance, Wanyankang showed the portrait to Lao Zhao and expressed his request to find Tinglou.

The moment Old Zhao saw the portrait, he froze on the spot. He had stayed in Tinglou for most of his life, so naturally he had met his previous master, Gu Nian's mother. But he never expected that when he saw his master's face again, he would be in such a form, and he couldn't help but feel a sad emotion in his heart.
