Dragon's Origin

Who else could create such exquisite gunpowder packaging and intricate mechanisms that even Wang Sheng couldn't detect, other than the Grand Masters of the Linglong Pavilion?

Wang Sheng couldn't think of any other organization besides the Linglong Pavilion that could do it.

The various families and sects each nurtured a group of Grand Master-level artisans, but their numbers were too small to be proficient in all aspects.

To be proficient in both outer packaging and various mechanisms, without using formations, and able to formulate primitive gunpowder from Wang Sheng's procurement list, it could only be the Linglong Pavilion.

In fact, a battle between the Linglong Pavilion and Wang Sheng was inevitable, which was already destined when Wang Sheng started managing the Lizhen Workshop's gold ticket business.

Both controlled the economic foundations of other families, and previously Lizhen Workshop only accepted gold coins and not gold, so the two could barely coexist.

However, as each business grew larger in the future, families would likely not tolerate being exploited by the Linglong Pavilion for a 10% loss. It was inevitable that they would turn to Lizhen Workshop, which charged lower fees.

Those in the same trade were naked enemies, which Wang Sheng had long known.

It was not surprising that the Linglong Pavilion turned against Wang Sheng at this time.

Moreover, the Linglong Pavilion did not hide this point. After Wang Sheng discovered that the diving suits had been copied, he knew that some people in the Linglong Pavilion must have already stood against him.

However, Wang Sheng also believed that the Grand Masters in the capital who had cooperated with him would not become enemies with him.

They were not combat personnel, and their usual interests were not in fighting and killing. Unless they were directly provoked, they would not take action.

These people now could only be the mysterious minting workforce of the Linglong Pavilion that Wang Sheng had never contacted.

Perhaps they were artisans, perhaps guards, but Wang Sheng had never met any of them.

As for those exquisitely crafted items, perhaps they were the works of those Grand Masters in the capital without their knowledge.

Wang Sheng bluntly revealed the other party's identity, and the other party did not seem surprised.

Wang Sheng found that this group of hidden personnel from the Linglong Pavilion was unusually elite, perhaps not inferior to the Shenwei Prison's personnel.

What was even more daunting was that they were far more calm than the Shenwei Prison's personnel.

Perhaps guarding great wealth required different qualities, making them far more disciplined than those assassins, comparable to the Royal Guards in this aspect.

"Duke is indeed extraordinary."

The person who spoke just now sneered, "But Duke doesn't need to try to be friendly with us, nor need to guess our identity.

Duke only needs to know that the Pavilion Master is very dissatisfied with you, but as long as Duke cooperates, the Linglong Pavilion is still Duke's friend."

"Let me guess."

Wang Sheng suddenly laughed and said towards the other side, "The Linglong Pavilion Master has never shown his true face to anyone, but I believe I must have met him."

The people of the Linglong Pavilion did not seem afraid of Wang Sheng taking the opportunity to recover his energy, and did not care about Wang Sheng's obvious delaying tactics.

Instead, they walked forward a distance with interest. Only when both sides could see each other did the person who spoke just now say, "Continue."

"The person who can create the diving suit style that only I know must have seen it with his own eyes."

Wang Sheng followed suit and continued, "But it won't be Master Wang. A Grand Master like her definitely has her own professional ethics and will never steal other people's design results."

"That makes sense."

The other party nodded in agreement.

"He must have a very good relationship with many Grand Masters."

Wang Sheng continued, while not forgetting to be vigilant around him, "Otherwise, he couldn't know what other people made, and he couldn't copy it."

"However, he shouldn't have contacted me from the beginning.

Because he doesn't know the things I made a long time ago."

Wang Sheng stated his basis bit by bit, and then came to the conclusion, "So, he should have contacted me later."

"Well, mostly right."

The person came nodded with interest, as if admiring Wang Sheng's reasoning.

"The imitation style is good, but there are still slight differences."

Wang Sheng continued to deduce according to his own rhythm, "It can only show that that person should be a knowledgeable person.

He can't directly ask those Grand Masters for the exact dimensions and styles, but after seeing the things, he relies on his strong memory and judgment to determine and find another group of Grand Master-level experts to copy.

Don't doubt my eyesight, I am also a Grand Master. I can see the difference between the shots of Grand Master and Grand Master."

"You're right."

The other party still nodded, as if very much looking forward to Wang Sheng being able to say the answer.

"In addition, I found that there are more than twenty legendary experts here, and all of them have just been promoted not long ago."

Wang Sheng said the number of experts on the other side without concealment, "Believe me, without the help of the Grand Master concert, you can never break through on your own."

"So what?"

The other party asked back with a smile, with a look of disapproval, "The result is that we have been promoted.

What's the difference whether someone helps or not?"

"The problem is that the Linglong Pavilion may not be able to grab enough concert places from the hands of various families and sects."

Wang Sheng shook his head with a smile, "Don't look at the Linglong Pavilion can cast gold coins, but which family is willing to accept the 10% loss you charge?

So, you can never grab places from them."

"But the result is that all of our experts who should be promoted have been promoted."

The other party said very proudly.

"So, you must have asked those Grand Masters to perform a separate performance for you."

Wang Sheng said his reasoning without hesitation, "Among those Grand Masters, several of them also have a close relationship with the Linglong Pavilion. It is not surprising that the Linglong Pavilion can invite them."

"At least so far, what you said is basically correct."

Seeing that Wang Sheng was already at the point of drawing the final conclusion, the expert who spoke still answered Wang Sheng in a very cooperative manner.

"Then it's actually easy to guess."

Wang Sheng also said with a smile, "Those who meet these conditions, have only contacted me in recent years, have the opportunity to see the various things I designed, and can openly observe and memorize without arousing the suspicion of those Grand Masters, are knowledgeable, well-informed, have a good relationship with many Grand Masters, and can also trouble those performing Grand Masters to give you a secret performance, there seems to be only one person, right?"

"Tell me, who is it?"

The other party seemed curious about the identity of the Linglong Pavilion Master, reminding Wang Sheng to reveal the answer.

"The chief appraiser of Gansheng Yuan, Master Qian."

Wang Sheng turned to another direction and smiled at someone, "You are the real Linglong Pavilion Master, right?"
