This is clearly an excuse.
No one would go to such lengths to find Mu Tan just based on hearsay.
If not for a deep connection, it wouldn’t make sense.
"Mr. Chang Nian Bu Ju, where did you hear this from? From us? Or from your side?" Luo Yang asked curiously.
"Mr. Luo, I have other matters to attend to, I’ll leave first and talk next ti." Chang Nian Bu Ju stood up to leave.
Luo Yang quickly pulled him back and sat him down.
"Mr. Chang Nian Bu Ju, don’t rush, have a couple of drinks first. You haven’t finished looking at my Mu Tan. I ntioned there’s one piece you want." Luo Yang said.
After hesitating for a mont, Chang Nian Bu Ju reluctantly sat down again.
"Mr. Luo, please bring your Mu Tan so I can have a look." Chang Nian Bu Ju said.
"Mr. Chang Nian Bu Ju, don’t rush. It’s alti; wouldn’t it be better to eat first and then take a look? Is half an hour that important?" Luo Yang said.
Having a al really doesn’t take too long.
Chang Nian Bu Ju had no choice but to accept Luo Yang’s suggestion and said: "Mr. Luo, does your Mu Tan make sounds?"
To keep Chang Nian Bu Ju engaged, Luo Yang had to make sothing up.
As long as Chang Nian Bu Ju swallowed the Master Servant Pill, it would work.
"Mr. Chang Nian Bu Ju, honestly speaking, I’ve found many pieces of Mu Tan, so big, so small, but one piece is most peculiar. When I put my ear up to it, it makes sounds. I dare not say it’s a human voice, but it sounds very similar. After dinner, I’ll let you listen and you’ll understand." Luo Yang said.
In the midst of the conversation, so waiters started bringing in the food.
Once the waiters exited the private room, Luo Yang continued, "Mr. Chang Nian Bu Ju, let tell you. It’s not easy finding a piece of Mu Tan. I spent a lot of money to find it. If it’s the one you’re looking for, you need to offer a good price."
Chang Nian Bu Ju nodded and said, "Mr. Luo, the Mu Tan is what we need, the price will surely be satisfactory for you."
At that mont, Luo Yang opened a bottle of strong alcohol, poured a cup for Chang Nian Bu Ju, and filled another for himself.
You should know, Luo Yang doesn’t get drunk easily.
However, Luo Yang wasn’t aiming to intoxicate Chang Nian Bu Ju; rather, he wanted to slip the Master Servant Pill into the alcohol, hoping Chang Nian Bu Ju would take it.
Chang Nian Bu Ju hastily waved his hand and said, "Mr. Luo, you drink yours; I’m not drinking."
If he refuses to drink, getting him to consu the Master Servant Pill would beco much harder.
One couldn’t just claim the Master Servant Pill is a fish ball, right?
"Mr. Chang Nian Bu Ju, you have a beverage, while I have alcohol, how about that?" Luo Yang said.
"Mr. Luo, that’s unnecessary. Eat yours." Chang Nian Bu Ju responded.
It’s unclear whether he was being cautious, or genuinely doesn’t drink alcohol nor likes beverages.
After a mont of thought, Luo Yang said, "Mr. Chang Nian Bu Ju, what would you like to drink, let know?"
Chang Nian Bu Ju responded, "Mr. Luo, just enjoy yours, don’t mind mine."
The situation was unfavorable for Luo Yang.
If he couldn’t get Chang Nian Bu Ju to drink, there’d be no way to give him the Master Servant Pill.
Normally, Chang Nian Bu Ju wouldn’t divulge the secrets about Mu Tan.
"Mr. Chang Nian Bu Ju, I hear you also need Soul Beads?" Luo Yang asked.
This question confused Chang Nian Bu Ju, evident from his suspicious expression.
This mysterious Japanese collector likely hadn’t instructed Chang Nian Bu Ju to handle the Soul Beads.
Thus, Chang Nian Bu Ju didn’t know how to reply to Luo Yang.
After all, if he nodded, and Luo Yang presented it, but Chang Nian Bu Ju couldn’t discern its authenticity, it’d be troubleso.
As Chang Nian Bu Ju hesitated, Luo Yang said, "You’ve ntioned wanting it, but now you don’t?"
Chang Nian Bu Ju snapped back to reality and said, "Mr. Luo, I need to go to the restroom first."
It’s obvious that Chang Nian Bu Ju intended to call his boss for instructions.
"Mr. Chang Nian Bu Ju, please." Luo Yang said.
Thus, Chang Nian Bu Ju left the private room.
At that mont, Luo Yang quickly took out a Master Servant Pill, crushed it, and mixed it into the alcohol glass.
As long as Chang Nian Bu Ju were still around, Luo Yang would have a chance to get him to drink a cup of alcohol.
Just one cup isn’t much.
Luo Yang had searched the dicinal section of the Shennong Scripture, but couldn’t find Mist Techniques related to the Master Servant Pill.
Otherwise, putting it in the air could make Chang Nian Bu Ju compliant.
This Chang Nian Bu Ju likely didn’t know much.
Luo Yang primarily wanted to use Chang Nian Bu Ju to find that mysterious Japanese collector.
At the very least, finding out the na of the mysterious Japanese collector would make things much easier.
Currently, there’s no ti to find the mysterious Japanese collector, but once free, searching would be more convenient.
Actually, Luo Yang also wanted to confirm if the mysterious Japanese collector might be the leader of 008 and others.
If so, they could find him through 008 and others.
While pondering, footsteps approached.
It wasn’t just one person.
When the door opened, it turned out the Tenth Mu Tan was escorting Yiye Bupo back.
Luo Yang was startled, having just managed to get a Master Servant Pill into the alcohol.
If Yiye Bupo drank it, things would go awry.
With soone present, even if Chang Nian Bu Ju drank the alcohol, Luo Yang wouldn’t be able to ask anything comfortably.
The inquisitive look from the Tenth Mu Tan indicated it wanted to know how things were progressing with Luo Yang.
After all, the Tenth Mu Tan ca looking for the Night Puppet.
Luo Yang hadn’t asked about the Night Puppet, and this Chang Nian Bu Ju likely didn’t know its secrets, asking was futile.
"Mr. Luo, save !" Yiye Bupo looked frightened and pale.
To the Tenth Mu Tan, eliminating Yiye Bupo would be as easy as drinking tea.
"Mr. Yiye Bupo, don’t worry. My bodyguard won’t harm you. Relax." Luo Yang said.
"How’s the questioning going?" The Tenth Mu Tan asked bluntly.
Luo Yang couldn’t say much and signaled to the Tenth Mu Tan.
However, the Tenth Mu Tan refused to leave, evidently wanting to question Chang Nian Bu Ju face-to-face.
In that case, things would beco tricky.
If the Tenth Mu Tan realized Luo Yang wasn’t seeking the Night Puppet, the consequences could be severe.
"Let’s go for a walk, it’ll help ease the tension."
While speaking, he ushered the Tenth Mu Tan and Yiye Bupo out of the private room.
In the hallway, Luo Yang added, "Let Mr. Yiye Bupo use the restroom."
With a push from the Tenth Mu Tan, Yiye Bupo almost stumbled to the floor, staggered a few steps, and dashed towards the restroom as if fleeing.
"Did you find out?" The Tenth Mu Tan stared at Luo Yang.
"Almost! Why did you suddenly co back? Didn’t I say? Only return when I call. Coming back without my approval sses things up; will you take responsibility?" Luo Yang questioned.
With the Tenth Mu Tan present, Luo Yang found it challenging to proceed.
"Then let question him!" The Tenth Mu Tan said coldly.
Luo Yang certainly wouldn’t agree to this approach.
After all, this Chang Nian Bu Ju likely doesn’t know the Night Puppet’s secrets, asking would expose the act.
Luo Yang quickly lowered his voice and advised, "Brother Mu Tan, doing that will ruin things! I’m about to help you find the Night Puppet, yet you co to ss things up. What’s your intention? You should have told earlier! I wouldn’t have wasted so much ti!"
His rational argunt managed to pacify the Tenth Mu Tan.
