Chapter 1899

After the call was connected, both of them went straight to the point and talked about the consecration ceremony.

Ye Xiao informed Wu Guozhang of the requirements of the Dragon Country's high-level officials, and the latter also briefly stated the content of his conversation with Gu Changqing to Ye Xiao.

When Ye Xiao heard the response strategies of Wu Guozhang and Gu Changqing, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Before, he felt quite a headache after receiving the instructions from the second elder. Unexpectedly, the Wu and Gu families coincided with the arrangements of the second elder and planned to ruin the consecration ceremony.

This saved him from wasting brain cells.

Moreover, Ye Xiao was more optimistic about the plan discussed by the two families. If Gao Qimei, the Tianshi Mansion and Penglai War Department used to cause trouble could be persuaded to retreat, then Gao Qimei would be in a difficult situation alone.

There was no need to use any violent means to make Gao Qimei's wishful thinking fall through.

At this time, Ye Xiao thought of the high-level officials of the War Department where the second elder was, who were very concerned about the reasons why the Tianshi Mansion was trying to distance itself from the Inland Taoist Association and cater to Gao Qimei.

So he proposed to Wu Guozhang that he planned to go with Wu Shouzhuo to meet the people of the Tianshi Mansion.

Wu Guozhang did not refuse this. Although he let his son be responsible for contacting the people of the Tianshi Mansion alone, Wu Guozhang was very relieved. After all, in his opinion, there would be no danger and Ye Xiao did not need to help.

But at this moment, he roughly guessed the reason why Ye Xiao took the initiative to ask for participation.

So he promised Ye Xiao that he would contact Ye Xiao after Wu Shouzhuo and the people of the Tianshi Mansion confirmed the meeting time.

An hour later, Ye Xiao received a call from Wu Shouzhuo.

The latter told Ye Xiao that he had agreed with a familiar Taoist priest in the Tianshi Mansion to meet at Jinghua Building tomorrow.

And the other party could also help to make an appointment with a core figure in the Tianshi Mansion, which should be helpful for them to contact the Tianshi Mansion.

Hearing this, Ye Xiao couldn't help but look at Wu Shouzhuo with a new eye.

Although this person can't play a big role in other aspects of the election, Wu Shouzhuo still has advantages that others can't replace in terms of the Grand Consecration Ceremony.

After talking to Wu Shouzhuo on the phone, Ye Xiao said goodbye to Odek and Jin Qishan and left the institute.

He was going to go to Xuanyuan Base to discuss the Grand Consecration Ceremony in detail with Wu Chuannan. After all, he was not fighting alone, but fighting side by side with a team.

Wu Chuannan might be able to supplement some details that he didn't consider, and he could also get more information about the Tianshi Mansion from Xuanyuan.

Time quickly came to the next day.

On this day, Ye Xiao set out early from the Davika Villa and went to Wu Mansion to meet Wu Shouzhuo.

"Mr. Ye, good morning!" After seeing Ye Xiao, Wu Shouzhuo came up with a smile and shook hands with Ye Xiao.

As the cooperation between Ye Xiao and the Wu family gradually deepened, Wu Shouzhuo became more and more appreciative of Ye Xiao. Although he did not personally participate in many things, as the second-generation son of the Wu family, he saw everything Ye Xiao did.

Before, Ye Xiao persuaded the warden to release Situ Zhao, laying the foundation for pacifying the internal strife of Zhonghemen. Later, he saved Wan Guochang and pulled the Wan family to his side from under the noses of the Gu and Gao families.

Wu Shouzhuo had a hunch that the turmoil caused by Gao Qimei this time might also be inseparable from Ye Xiao's efforts.

Sometimes, he couldn't help but wonder, if he accepted the cooperation with Ye Xiao when Ye Xiao first came to the Wu Mansion, could he also cooperate with Ye Xiao as tacitly as his father now.

"Hello, Mr. Wu!" Ye Xiao also stretched out his hand with a smile and shook hands with Wu Shouzhuo gently.

"Mr. Ye, let's talk in the car! I've always wanted to find an opportunity to discuss calligraphy and painting appreciation with you." Wu Shouzhuo made a gesture of invitation, indicating that Ye Xiao should get in his car with him.

Ye Xiao did not hesitate, nodded, and walked with Wu Shouzhuo to a relatively low-key luxury car.

In the car, Ye Xiao asked Wu Shouzhuo about the person they were going to meet today, and Wu Shouzhuo told Ye Xiao everything he knew.

It turned out that Wu Shouzhuo and the Taoist priest of Tianshi Mansion were classmates at Daobei University. They had similar interests when they were in school, and they often discussed academic matters after graduation.

The Taoist priest's surname was Zhang, and he was from the lineage of Tianshi, but he was a collateral disciple, and his status in Tianshi Mansion was not high.

The core figure of Tianshi Mansion introduced by classmate Wu Shouzhuo was the nephew of the current Tianshi. Many reception tasks of Tianshi Mansion were completed by him on behalf of Tianshi.

However, this core figure was arrogant and also loved collecting. Therefore, Wu Shouzhuo brought a Song Dynasty painting with him.Ancient paintings, to get closer to each other.

Soon, the car stopped at Jinghua Building.

After Ye Xiao and Wu Shouzhuo got off the car, they did not go directly to the reserved box, but waited at the door. Wu Shouzhuo just received a message from his classmate that the other party would be here soon.

A minute later, two middle-aged men dressed as Taoist priests appeared in Ye Xiao's sight.

Both of them were wearing loose Taoist robes and Pingding Taoist crowns.

One of them had a warm face and wore a pair of black-framed glasses with a high degree at first glance. He looked a bit like a professor doing research in a university. Ye Xiao guessed that this person should be Wu Shouzhuo's classmate.

The other person was shorter, with two mustaches at the corners of his lips. When he looked at people, his eyes squinted like a spirit rat. Ye Xiao also noticed that the two sides of his forehead were bulging high, and he was a martial artist with not weak strength.

"Shouzhuo, let me introduce you. This is my cousin Zhang Naichao." After the two came forward, the Taoist priest wearing black-framed glasses introduced the people around him to Wu Shouzhuo.

"Master Zhang, I have long admired you!" Wu Shouzhuo smiled and performed a standard Taoist ceremony towards Zhang Naichao.

Although Wu Shouzhuo was not a Taoist priest, he had mastered a lot of Taoist knowledge during the years of interacting with his old classmates. Performing such a ceremony at this time was also an expression of recognition of Zhang Naichao's identity.

However, Zhang Naichao's eyes flashed with a trace of contempt.

In his opinion, Wu Shouzhuo was not a Taoist priest, and he was still performing such a ceremony to him at this time. Wasn't it just a way to please him?

However, because Wu Shouzhuo was a member of the Wu family, Zhang Naichao reluctantly returned the ceremony even though he looked down on Wu Shouzhuo in his heart.

Although Zhang Naichao's contempt was well concealed, it could not escape Ye Xiao's eyes. He shook his head secretly. It seemed that it was not very reliable to get through Zhang Naichao to open up the road to Tianshi!

"Master Zhang, Shuwen, this is my friend Ye Xiong. He has a high level of attainment in antique appreciation. I heard that Master Zhang also likes collecting, so I brought him here to chat."

At this time, Wu Shouzhuo introduced Ye Xiao to his classmates Zhang Shuwen and Zhang Naichao.

Hearing what Wu Shouzhuo said, Zhang Shuwen took the initiative to step forward and shook hands with Ye Xiao, expressing his interest in chatting with Ye Xiao, while Zhang Naichao smiled lightly and was too lazy to hide his disdain for Ye Xiao.

Such a young boy, Wu Shouzhuo actually said that he had some attainments in appreciation, Zhang Naichao did not believe it at all.

He felt that Ye Xiao was probably a junior that Wu Shouzhuo intended to promote, and he was brought here just to get to know him.

After all, those who can interact with me are all dignitaries in Penglai. How can ordinary people get the opportunity to talk to me?
