Chapter 86: Do You Have the Best Clothes?
Although the branch of the Yunyi Chamber of Commerce in Wolf City was not the most luxurious, it still stood out among the many buildings in Wolf City.
The ornamental cloud pines seemed to grow out of the building, complementing each brick and tile.
From a distance, it didn’t look like a square building, but rather a forest growing on the street.
The stone beasts in front of the door were lifelike, as if they would come to life the moment someone intruded.
The ingots symbolizing wealth were abstractly and subtly carved on the pillars, making everything less vulgar.
Even though there were other chambers of commerce around, none could exude the grandeur of the Yunyi Chamber of Commerce.
Even though the Yunyi Chamber of Commerce only dealt in silk and satin, stepping inside, one would still be amazed by its products.
Rather than being miscellaneous, it was refined; this was the philosophy of the Yunyi Chamber of Commerce.
Even at this time, there were still many young masters and ladies selecting clothes in the chamber of commerce.
These young masters and ladies were generous, and they would take away whatever they fancied.
To entertain these people, the chamber of commerce specially hired various men and women.
At this moment, Cui’er was standing inside the main entrance of the Yunyi Chamber of Commerce, waiting to receive He Youzhou, who was about to arrive.
Usually, it would never be her, the confidant of the president, who received guests in this place, but today the situation had changed, and there was a distinguished guest she needed to personally receive.
Following her master Zhao Linglong’s orders, she had used various methods to delay He Youzhou’s steps.
Now the sparrows had already returned to tell her that He Youzhou was on his way to the Yunyi Chamber of Commerce.
However, Cui’er first encountered not He Youzhou, but a group of uninvited guests.
A group of strange people wearing two-layer hooded cloaks stood in front of the Yunyi Chamber of Commerce.
The moment they arrived, the two stone beasts at the entrance of the chamber of commerce came to life, opening their bloody mouths.
The originally lifeless stone eyes were endowed with spirit.
“Roar! Roar! Roar!!!!” The two stone beasts slowly stood up, facing the cloaked guests.
Facing the two stone beasts, these strange cloaked guests had no reaction and continued to walk towards the chamber of commerce.
The young masters and ladies inside the chamber, who were selecting clothes, noticed the out-of-place strangers and instinctively frowned.
The four legs of the two stone beasts left the stone pedestals and pounced towards the cloaked guests who kept walking.
But before they could bite, they turned back into stone in mid-air and fell heavily to the ground.
“Clang—” The dull sound startled the people around.
The people inside the chamber were also quite frightened, feeling that these cloaked guests were a bit of a buzzkill.
The cloaks of these people looked very old, as if they hadn’t been washed for a year, and a shake would probably produce a cloud of dust.
Their appearance was indescribably eerie, looking more like dried corpses than living people.
Some of the chamber’s staff saw these strange people and immediately came out to drive them away.
However, these staff did not realize what the sudden collapse of the stone beasts at the entrance signified.
These two stone beasts were placed at the entrance of the Yunyi Chamber of Commerce not just for show, but to ward off evil.
“Who exactly are you?” Since these cloaked guests didn’t look like customers from any angle, the staff’s attitude towards them was very poor.
The fact was pretty much as the staff thought; these guys were not here to be customers of the Yunyi Chamber of Commerce.
But soon, the staff member who first stepped forward to question them couldn’t help but start trembling.
Only by getting closer did he understand how terrifyingly strange these cloaked guests were.
Especially the bloated cloaked guest at the front, just standing in front of him made the staff feel a bit dizzy.
He instinctively got goosebumps and took several steps back.
The bloated cloaked guest opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to say something.
At this moment, the staff noticed that the other party didn’t even have a tongue or teeth in his mouth.
“Guest.” As the atmosphere grew increasingly eerie, Cui’er spoke up, “May I ask what business you have at the Yunyi Chamber of Commerce?”
“…” The extremely bloated cloaked guest retracted his sinister aura and stiffly turned to look at Cui’er.
Even Cui’er, who had dealt with all kinds of people, found these cloaked guests excessively strange.
Even the most bizarre demonic cultivators Cui’er had encountered were not as frightening as these guests.
“Are the clothes of the Yunyi Chamber of Commerce the best in the world?” The cloaked guest asked in an unpleasant voice.
To those who didn’t know, it sounded like someone speaking through a wind tunnel.
“We dare not claim to be the best in the world, but we should have the best clothes in Shenzhou.” Cui’er replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, “Are you here to buy clothes?”
“Yes.” The cloaked guest said slowly, “We want a piece of clothing that contains the image of all things.”
His emotionless eyes stared fixedly at Cui’er, “Do you have it?”
“I don’t quite understand what you mean, sir.” A drop of cold sweat inadvertently slid down Cui’er’s forehead to her chin.
“Like this…” The cloaked guest said, preparing to remove his outermost cloak.
“The thing you seek, the ‘Unification of All Forms,’ is not here.” A voice from behind interrupted the cloaked guest’s actions.
He Youzhou stood directly behind the group of cloaked guests, his expression indifferent.
Among those present, only He Youzhou remained so calm after seeing these cloaked guests.
“It’s you, the guide.” The cloaked guest turned around and recognized He Youzhou.
He stared at He Youzhou for a long time, “Do you know where the ‘Unification of All Forms’ is?”
“I don’t know, but it’s definitely not anywhere in this Wolf City.” He Youzhou replied casually, “Besides, the ‘Unification of All Forms’ is not something that can be made by humans.”
Upon hearing He Youzhou’s words, the cloaked guest extended his chubby hand, “You’re lying.”
He Youzhou’s expression did not change, and he didn’t even take his hand out from his sleeve.
But the cloaked guest’s hand hovered in mid-air, not reaching further.
“The Venerable mentioned people like you.” The cloaked guest seemed to sense something and withdrew his hand.
“Let’s go, the ‘Unification of All Forms’ we seek is not here.” He said, leading his group of cloaked guests out of the Yunyi Commerce Guild.
It all seemed like a farce, but He Youzhou knew that if he hadn’t been here, this place would have been in trouble.
“Master… Senior, what exactly is the ‘Unification of All Forms’?” Lin Qingxue asked, still shaken, as she watched the slow-moving cloaked guests.
“Some lunatic who went mad after seeing a true immortal, constantly raving about the ‘Unification of All Forms,’ and then taught these things.” He Youzhou answered lightly.
“Mm…” But Lin Qingxue knew the truth was definitely not as simple as He Youzhou said.
