When the various families and minor sects heard this news, they all cursed inwardly.
'An outstanding disciple from a First-class Sect like you, coming to our backwater to fleece us? Have you no shame?'
'It's said that you Guardian Envoys normally cultivate on Tier Two Upper Grade Spirit Veins.'
'The cave residences for rent here only have a single, pathetic Tier One Upper Grade Spirit Vein. You're going to build your Guardian Envoy's Mansion here? Don't you find it beneath you?'
And so, the various families were less than cooperative.
Later, seeing that Du Youqian didn't have any drastic reaction, their attitude shifted from merely uncooperative to staunchly resistant.
'What a joke. If the Guardian Envoy really established a mansion in the Marketplace, how could they possibly continue doing business?'
'From now on, they'd have to be on pins and needles every time they wanted to pull a shady deal, worried they'd end up dying mysteriously like Feng Siyong.'
