"Hey, where's Wu Liang?"

The other girls turned around and frowned as well.

"This fat Taoist priest is rather mysterious." Yu Yanluo's brows furrowed with worry. "I wonder if he's friend or foe."

"He seems to possess some kind of magical artifact that conceals his aura, making it impossible to discern his true cultivation level," Yun Jianyue said.

Yan Xuehen nodded: "It's hard to tell whether what he said is true or false, so we should be careful tonight."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Zu'an. While the rumors about his sons and daughters couldn't be verified in a short time, the claim that he would face a romantic calamity tonight was easy to confirm.

Zuan was a little embarrassed: "I think we shouldn't let him lead us by the nose. Let's go find the Qinghuang Flower first, and leave before dark if we find it."

With three beautiful women by his side, how could he possibly have any desire for a romantic encounter?

Even if she's pretty, can she compare to these three next to her?

Moreover, the phrase "bloodshed" sounds terrifying.

The other women didn't object; they were all lost in their own thoughts, pondering the divination results from earlier, some of them quite absent-minded.

Next, the group arrived at the Fox Chamber of Commerce. Looking at the fox symbol on the Chamber's emblem, Zuan thought to himself, "No wonder it's called that."

Upon entering, the staff noticed their distinguished bearing, and soon the shopkeeper came out to greet them. After learning their purpose, he apologized and said, "I'm really sorry, we did receive a batch of Qingzhao flowers recently, but they have already been pre-ordered."

Zuan said in a deep voice, "I can pay double."

The Qinghuang flower is very important to him; Daji is only missing this material to break through to the seventh rank.

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "Please don't make things difficult for us, sir. In business, integrity is paramount. This customer is our long-term partner, and they specifically requested this item."

At this moment, Yu Yanluo said, "We'll pay ten times the price. The shopkeeper should know that this price is enough for you to buy several more batches."

Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue looked surprised. Although their sects held high status, they needed money in many areas and could hardly be as extravagant as she was.

That guy from Zuan really knows how to live off a woman.

The shopkeeper smiled wryly and said, "To be honest, I'm also very tempted by this price, but they are our long-term partners. If we offend them with this order, our chamber of commerce will suffer even greater long-term losses. If you gentlemen really want to get the Qinghuo Flower, you can try your luck at the Qingqiu Royal Palace. They should still have a small amount in stock there."

The group looked at each other in bewilderment. They had entered the city secretly to avoid dealing with the Qingqiu Kingdom's officials, but they hadn't expected to be unable to avoid it after all this time.

Yu Yanluo's eyes suddenly sharpened: "In such a vast Qingqiu Kingdom, why is it that besides your place, only the royal palace has Qinghuo flowers?"
