Chapter 40 The Scale Gu Clan

"What do you mean!" Cui Gui stared at Jia Xingshang with a murderous look on his face.

"Brother Cui, don't worry. I don't have any other intentions. I just know that you were born in southern Xinjiang and know the customs and habits of the people in southern Xinjiang very well. That's why I want to ask you for help."

Cui Gui was not from the Central Plains.

He was born in the Southern Xinjiang Gu clan, because he broke with the clan.

This was later added to the six doors.

Therefore, southern Xinjiang is the place he least wants to go; the people of southern Xinjiang also make him afraid to avoid the existence of them.

Now that Jia Xingshang actually proposed to let him take care of a person from southern Xinjiang, this was obviously intentional to make things difficult for him.

"I haven't been back to Southern Xinjiang for many years. Boss Jia has found the wrong person. Let me go!"

Cui Gui stood up, turned around and was about to leave.

At this time, Jia Xingshang said leisurely.

"That person is the daughter of the patriarch of the Lin Gu Clan!"

Cui Gui stopped abruptly and turned his head.

"What did you say?"

Seeing Cui Gui's cannibalistic expression, Jia Xingshang smiled slightly, and took a sip from his wine glass.

"I said this person's name is Mo Caiyun, and he is the daughter of Mo Shan."

"Mo Caiyun, Mo Shan."

Cui Gui repeated the two names in his mouth, and stood there blankly.

Although he had never heard of Mo Caiyun's name, he was very familiar with Mo Shan.

Cui Gui is from the scale Gu clan in southern Xinjiang, and Mo Shan is his brother-in-law.

To be precise, Mo Shan used to be his brother-in-law.

Back then Mo Shan married Cui Gui's sister, and the couple lived happily ever after.

Later, because Mo Shan wanted to compete for the position of patriarch.

In order to help her husband refine the most precious treasure of the scale Gu clan—Jade Gu, Cui Gui's sister spared no effort to feed it.

But the Jasper Gu has a huge appetite, and needs a lot of hard work every day.

As a result, the day when the Gu was completed was also the time when she died.

Later, Mo Shan fulfilled his wish and became the patriarch of the Lin Gu Clan.

But Cui Gui has not yet recovered from the grief of losing his sister.

Then Mo Shan turned around and married someone else.

This made Cui Gui resentful, and after a quarrel with Mo Shan, he left Southern Border, changed his name and surname to join the Six Doors.

I never thought that today, Jia Xingshang would let him take care of Mo Shan's daughter, it's ridiculous!
"How about it, brother Cui has changed his mind now?"

"No!" Cui Gui still refused.

"Since Boss Jia found me, he must know about my relationship with Mo Shan. Do you think I will be so kind to take care of his daughter?"

"Brother Cui, don't you want to know why Mo Shan's daughter is in my hands now?" Jia Xingshang showed an intriguing smile.

"I'm not interested in knowing!"

Although Cui Gui kept saying no, he didn't move, obviously he was very concerned about this matter.

Jia Xingshang also saw this, so he continued to seduce him.

"Then you don't want to meet this fellow clansman? You have to know, because of the language barrier, the servant I arranged couldn't take care of this Mo Caiyun at all."

"She hasn't eaten for three days!"

"This..." Cui Gui hesitated.

Yes, he hesitated.

He thought that he would not care about Mo Shan's daughter, so what does life or death have to do with him?

But so many years of experience in the six doors have made him mature.

He is no longer the Cui Gui he was back then.

To be honest, he didn't resent Mo Shan so much anymore.

"Then I'll go and have a look." Cui Gui hesitated for a while, and finally changed his tone.

"Brother Cui is so righteous! I admire you." Jia Xingshang bowed his hands to Cui Gui.

"I just said to go and see, I didn't promise you to take care of her."

"Yes Yes."

Jia Xingshang stopped drinking, got up quickly and led Cui Gui out of Youranju, and came to his mansion.

"Oh, this is Brother Cui's first visit to the humble house, it's really an honor for me!"

Jia Xingshang is worthy of being a businessman, and he kept saying good things along the way.

In normal times, Cui Gui could still make false claims with him.

But now he wasn't in the mood at all.

"Let's go see people first."

"Hahaha, alright, this way please." Jia Xingshang didn't care about Cui Gui's attitude, instead the smile on his face became bigger.

The two soon came to a small courtyard.

Before Cui Gui entered the courtyard, he saw a little girl wearing Nanjiang costumes running out of the house, followed by two maids.

"Miss Caiyun, don't run away!"

"Jin Xiao, 瓕潒梥盧素." Mo Caiyun babbled a lot, except for Cui Gui, no one else could understand the meaning of these words.

"Brother Cui, what is she talking about?" Jia Xingshang asked curiously.

"She means that she wants to go home, she wants to find her father." Cui Gui simply translated.

Then he walked up to Mo Caiyun and stopped her.

"懤抮斸朄棥櫇歠洅." Cui Gui also communicated with Mo Caiyun in the Miao language.

Seeing this, Jia Xingshang waved to the two maids, signaling them to back off.

After a while, seeing that Cui Gui and Mo Caiyun had finished communicating, Jia Xingshang hurried forward.

"How is brother Cui?"

"She said that her father asked you to take her away, but she wants to go back now."

"Hey, of course Mo Shan handed her over to me, otherwise I wouldn't dare to kidnap the daughter of the Lin Gu clan's patriarch."

"Didn't you always do business with the Qiang people in the north? When did you reach out to the southern border?" Cui Gui looked at Jia Xingshang with a scrutiny.

"Then the business must not grow bigger and bigger. I am planning to open up a trade route to the southern border, so I came into contact with the Scale Gu clan."

Cui Gui did not continue to question, no matter what Jia Xingshang's reason was, the Mo Caiyun in front of him should indeed be Mo Shan's daughter.

It's strange to say that Cui Gui has a natural affection for Mo Caiyun, probably because he hasn't seen anyone from his clan for a long time.

In short, since the first time he saw Mo Caiyun, Cui Gui decided to agree to Jia Xingshang.

"She's hungry, prepare her something to eat."

"Okay, as long as you can eat, I will send someone to pass the food right away." Jia Xingshang was about to call the servant over when he suddenly realized something.

Turning her head, she approached Cui Gui and whispered, "Does she have any special dietary requirements, such as bugs or raw meat?"

Cui Gui: "..."

"I'm also from southern Xinjiang, do you think I eat those things? Just normal food!" Cui Gui said angrily.

"Then I prepared a lot of meals for her before but didn't eat a bite. I thought the ingredients were wrong."

"If you didn't agree to come here today, I really plan to try this."

"Then she is not familiar with you, and she is afraid that you will poison her in food."

"Oh, this child is really guarded. I would have eaten with her if I knew it earlier, so she would trust me."

After Cui Gui's explanation, Jia Xingshang understood the reason, so he hurriedly called his servants to prepare a large table of food.

Mo Caiyun has been hungry for three full days.

She hasn't eaten since she finished eating the food she carried with her.

Now that Cui Gui was with her, she dared to eat the food provided by Jia Xingshang.

Because when she was about to leave, Dad had specifically explained to her.
