After a bear hug, Du Shaofu did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
Mu Zhenghao looked at Du Shaofu and laughed, "Relax, within the Dark City, there should be a lot of things that I can help you with. Just based on the fact that you saved my life, as long as I can help you, you will not decline."
"Is it convenient to speak here?" Du Shaofu said as he looked around.
Mu Zhenghao looked at the expression on Du Shaofu's face, and then became a bit more serious. He then said, "Come to my courtyard to speak, you can stay with me. Once inside the Dark City, you must make sure I do my duty as a host."
After a while, in a secluded courtyard, three people sat down in a small hall. Under Mu Zhenghao's puzzled gaze, Du Xiaoyao quietly leaned on Du Shaofu's side.
"Now you can relax and speak. I've already said that no one will come here." Mu Zhenghao said to Du Shaofu.
"Is the Trading Company of Mu Family auction tomorrow about the Profound Spirit Connecting Sky Vine?" Du Shaofu did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
"Exactly, could it be that little brother is interested as well?"
Mu Zhenghao smiled and said, "If Little Brother is interested, I'll arrange for you to go to the auction tomorrow. Just leave everything to me."
"Of course I'm interested, and Profound Spirit Connecting Sky Vine have to be retrieved."
Du Shaofu said with a wry smile on his face. "Truth be told, I am a student of Heaven Martial Academy. If that's the case, I think you should understand something." You are also a student of Heaven Martial Academy? " Mu Zhenghao seemed surprised, but his expression wasn't.
"That's right." Du Shaofu then told Mu Zhenghao everything, including the matter regarding the Ghost Claw.
After knowing everything, Mu Zhenghao was surprised, but he was no longer surprised. Instead, his expression became a lot calmer, looking at Du Shaofu who was wearing the red cloak and veil, he revealed a bitter smile and surprise, and said: "So that means, the great battle at Four Seas Inn last night, was rumored to be you two?"
"I'm among them. The other ones are my seniors and seniors."
Du Shaofu nodded his head. This matter was probably known by the entire city, and as the Young Castle Lord of the Castle of Mu Family, he probably knew more than most people.
As expected, Mu Zhenghao was no longer surprised. He asked in doubt, "Then, who is the mysterious force that was fighting against you?"
The Castle of Mu Family of that mysterious force was also continuously investigating, and they were even more concerned about it than they were about the Heaven Martial Academy.
"It's related to the Ghost Claw. It's said that it might have come from a force called Netherworld Religion."
Du Shaofu remembered that the mysterious black-robed youth, Ye Lingling, had mentioned that those experts who wore masks were most likely from a power called Netherworld Religion, which was not a person of Stone Dragon Empire.
"Netherworld Religion."
Hearing that, Mu Zhenghao's face became serious, as if he had heard of the Netherworld Religion, his expression was calm, but his eyes looked straight at Du Shaofu, and he said: "Little brother, I think I already know the purpose of your visit, you are a student of Heaven Martial Academy, for the Profound Spirit Connecting Sky Vine, your goal should be to capture the Profound Spirit Connecting Sky Vine, to capture the Ghost Claw, right?"
"Exactly." This was the first time Gu Xinyan spoke to Mu Zhenghao.
Mu Zhenghao looked at Gu Xinyan, and could faintly see that under the red veil, there was a moving face, and said: "I already know the purpose of your visit, but I do not know if you know how Trading Company of Mu Family is able to be established within the Dark City, so, I think I should tell you about it."
After pausing for a moment, Mu Zhenghao's gaze landed on Du Shaofu as he said, "Castle of Mu Family was able to become one of the four great powers in the Inside The Dark Forest today, and Trading Company of Mu Family was able to become one of the top trading companies in the Dark City. In a special place like the Dark City, other than relying on strength, one also needs to rely on integrity and rules.
As long as someone places the item in the Trading Company of Mu Family for auction, we won't even ask about who or where it comes from. We will only prepare the auction and only be responsible for collecting the commission.
This is not only the rules of the Trading Company of Mu Family, but the entire rules of the Dark City as well. If you want to buy Profound Spirit Connecting Sky Vine s, I can do my best to help.
But as for other things, it's indeed difficult for me to help. If I give you the Profound Spirit Connecting Sky Vine, then in the future, my Trading Company of Mu Family, and my entire Castle of Mu Family, will no longer be able to stand firm in the Dark City.
Furthermore, even if I wanted to help, most likely all of the elders and my father would not agree with it. "
With that, Mu Zhenghao looked at Du Shaofu with a bitter smile and apology, and said: "Little brother, logically speaking, I should not reject your request, but this matter is not something I can help with."
What Mu Zhenghao said, Du Shaofu naturally understood in his heart. Castle of Mu Family was the power of the Four Major Forces, and once he reached the Trading Company of Mu Family, giving the Profound Spirit Connecting Sky Vine to him and the Ghost Claw to him with a single sentence, was also impossible.
Du Shaofu knew in his heart that the Castle of Mu Family did not owe him anything.
As for the matter of saving Mu Zhenghao at Inside The Dark Forest, to Du Shaofu, it was purely because he took the opportunity to deal with the Black Fiend School.
When he first saved her, he did not do it on purpose. This time, coming to Castle of Mu Family, Du Shaofu had only come here to try his luck, hoping to get some help.
"I understand, I'm the one who's making things difficult for you."
Du Shaofu nodded and took a deep breath. He smiled bitterly and looked at Mu Zhenghao as he said, "But I still hope that you can help me or help Heaven Martial Academy once. Of course, I won't force you. If you help me, I will take it to heart. If you don't help me, I can understand why.
"I'm afraid I'm not strong enough." Mu Zhenghao smiled bitterly.
"If my guess is correct, during this period of time, there will definitely be strong practitioners guarding Castle of Mu Family, and most likely, it will be the master of Castle of Mu Family. In other words, your father, the master of castle Mu, is there. Du Shaofu thought for a while, then looked at Mu Zhenghao and said.
Mu Zhenghao was quiet for a moment, he looked at Du Shaofu, then at Gu Xinyan, and finally at Du Shaofu. He was a little surprised and asked: "How do you know my father is in the business district?"
"The Profound Spirit Connecting Sky Vine have already attracted a lot of attention, who knows how many people want to obtain it. I think that it is not only Fort Master Mu, but most of the experts in the Castle of Mu Family should be in the store." Du Shaofu laughed.
Mu Zhenghao's gaze wavered slightly as he said to Du Shaofu, "You two wait for me here first, I'll go speak with my father, and I'll do my best to help, but I can't guarantee what the result will be."
"No matter what the result is, I will still thank you." Du Shaofu said.
"You're too polite."
Mu Zhenghao laughed bitterly as he looked at Du Shaofu and said, "I still don't know who little brother is. I have to tell my father who it is that wants to meet him."
Du Shaofu smiled slightly and said: "Du Shaofu."
Mu Zhenghao nodded. His gaze changed again as he left the courtyard.
"If we meet the owner of the Castle of Mu Family, are you sure you can get Castle of Mu Family to help? I don't think we have anything." Watching Mu Zhenghao's disappearing figure, Gu Xinyan turned to look at him and said.
"If I don't give it a try, how would I know if I'll get the chance to? Besides, I don't have any other methods right now." Du Shaofu said.
"You are still on the Academy's wanted list, killing the older students, arresting the Law Enforcement Troop, stealing the spirit medicine, and destroying the medicinal field. Why are you contributing to the Academy now?"
Gu Xinyan's red veil covered the pretty face's face, puzzled and confused. The past two days of interaction, seemed to have made her feel that the teenager in front of her was different from the savage teenager that was rumored to be.
Du Shaofu smiled lightly, looked slightly bitter, and said: "Those elders in the Academy, let me snatch back the Profound Spirit Connecting Sky Vine and capture the Ghost Claw. At that time, let's forget about the matters from before, so I have no other choice, is this reason enough?"
"This reason is indeed enough."
Gu Xinyan was startled for a moment before revealing a smile. In the end, she also laughed lightly, "Those bunch of elders really know how to order you around, but this proves that their eyes are not bad."
In the quiet study room, several figures stood respectfully, including Mu Zhenghao.
A man in his forties and fifties with a similar appearance to Mu Zhenghao sat upright. Although he wasn't handsome, he had a heroic spirit and a strong build. His eyes shined brightly, giving off an imposing aura.
This burly man was the current master of the castle, Mu Mingqing. He was one of the strongest practitioners in the entire Inside The Dark Forest and had roamed the Inside The Dark Forest for decades with one hand, which was why he brought the Castle of Mu Family back to his current status and power.
Controlling a power and becoming a powerhouse wasn't something that could be done with absolute power.
Apart from absolute strength, an extraordinary courage, insight, and strategy were indispensable.
"Netherworld Religion, why would they come here?"
Then, he looked at Mu Zhenghao and said: "Zhenghao, the youth that you mentioned was called Du Shaofu. Was he also the youth that had saved you at Inside The Dark Forest back then?"
"That's right, I think father has heard of him before." Mu Zhenghao said.
