Chapter 455 The Overbearing Elder's Forced Love
Before Yuan Yajun could say anything, Uncle Hong raised his head and said arrogantly, "My city lord is at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul Realm."
Yu Zhiyi felt relieved.
A Nascent Soul cultivator should be able to contend with the guy who just attacked her, right?
"Okay, I'll help you."
Yuan Yajun and his servants both showed joy.
"However, I have one condition."
*
To save lives, the first priority is to ensure that the person is still alive.
Yuan Yajun had already confirmed this point.
Although she couldn't mobilize the Yuan family's resources to rescue people for the time being, it wouldn't be difficult for her to mobilize the city's informants to gather information.
The reason we were able to confirm that Yuan Yaying was in the Gan family was because we used these informants.
Yu Zhiyi expressed doubt about this claim.
Although she had never enjoyed the authority of a young lady from a powerful family, she knew how important informants placed in other factions were to a faction, and they were generally not allowed to be moved.
Yuan Yajun can't even touch the forces on the surface, so how can she mobilize these crucial informants?
However, instead of drawing a conclusion hastily, she directly consulted the oracle.
Strangely, the divination results indicated that Yuan Yaying was indeed still alive, but in a bad situation.
The divination indicated that she was currently in the tallest building in the city, but not on the upper floors; rather, she was underground.
The tallest building in the city is not the 33-story Riverside Tower, but the auction house that symbolizes the Gan family.
The Longevity Pill is sold at auction houses.
Uncle Hong's expression changed, and Yuan Yajun's expression was also not good: "Miss Yu, could it be that the divination result is wrong? Although the Shoushi City Auction House is famous for auctioning longevity pills, it is not actually a property of the Gan family, but belongs to the City Lord's Mansion."
Yu Zhiyi performed the divination again before slowly saying, "How do you know that the City Lord's Mansion and the Gan family have no connection?"
If her divination results are correct, and the production of the Longevity Pill is indeed related to stripping away the lifespan of a normal person, then, how come the City Lord's Mansion has not felt anything after the Gan family has stood in the city for over a thousand years?
The divination results indicate that the city lord's mansion has close ties with the Gan family.
To be honest, this is not good news.
But having already decided to enter the game, Yu Zhiyi naturally wouldn't back down.
She will do everything in her power.
“I have an invisibility talisman, and I am also skilled in divination. As long as there are no other people who are proficient in fortune telling around the Second Miss, I will most likely be able to bring her out. However, you will have to compensate me for the talismans and other items consumed in the process.”
Yuan Yajun will naturally have no problem.
Uncle Hong has a problem, but he can only keep it to himself in this situation.
Yu Zhiyi didn't care about Uncle Hong's opinion.
She only cares about one other thing now.
"Also, I need you to act in a play with me."
Soon after, everyone in the inn heard the arguing coming from Yu Zhiyi's room.
Yu Zhiyi's ethereal voice was filled with disgust: "I know you're in a bad mood right now, but that's no reason for you to take it out on me. I don't owe you anything."
Yuan Yajun sneered, her arrogance undiminished: "You don't owe me anything? Are you kidding me?"
Uncle Hong also said angrily, "If it weren't for the young lady's timely arrival, you would have been arrested by the city guards by now. Not only are you not grateful, but you also dare to disrespect the young lady!"
Yu Zhiyi remained expressionless: "Even if you hadn't come, I would have found a way to leave the city guard. Besides, I was the victim in the incident just now. The city guard just wanted to ask some questions; I could just explain a few things and be released."
“But because of your appearance, I have now made enemies with the city guard. If I plan to settle in Shoushi City in the future, I may face trouble from the city guard.”
Yuan Yajun felt a little guilty, but still refused to back down: "They're just a small city guard team. So what if we offended them? Their squad leader is only at the early stage of the Golden Core Realm. It's not like you can't beat him."
"Besides, if you can't stay here, you can go to other cities, like our Free City, which is quite nice."
Yu Zhiyi laughed in exasperation: "Miss, moving to a different place costs money. As far as I know, houses in Liberty City are several times more expensive than those in Shoushi City."
"Besides, I came to Shoushi City for the Longevity Pill. If I offend someone to death and can't buy the pill, will you take responsibility for that?!"
Most large inns have soundproofing measures, so you shouldn't be able to hear people arguing in their rooms from outside.
Yu Zhiyi was standing at the door of the room, which was slightly ajar, so her voice could be heard intermittently.
Only after she stormed out of the inn did those eavesdroppers reluctantly close the doors and windows.
In the room at the end of the corridor, a beautiful woman curled her red lips into a smile, a hint of disdain flashing in her dark eyes.
I thought the woman Youlin had his eye on was something special, but it turns out she was just an ordinary person.
"I want the Longevity Pill." With a flick of her wrist, a porcelain bottle appeared out of thin air.
She opened the bottle, and a rich medicinal aroma wafted out.
If there were someone knowledgeable here, they would realize that what she took out was no ordinary thing; it was none other than the Longevity Pill.
The Hundred-Year Pill was dark red all over, with strange patterns engraved on it. Although it smelled fragrant, it was mixed with a hint of decay.
It's not that no one has criticized the taste.
The Gan family also made improvements.
However, no matter how much fragrant stuff you add, it has no effect; the smell lingers and cannot be masked.
However, the woman didn't care.
She toyed with the red pill in her hand, a faint, mocking smile playing on her lips.
They are nothing but lowly ants.
What she could easily obtain was commonplace, but for the other party, it required considerable effort and planning.
Seeing how much effort the other party put into getting a single pill, the woman could only laugh.
Yu Zhiyi was unaware that someone was secretly considering her a rival in love and was competing with her in their hearts.
After all, no matter how talented she was, she could never have imagined that Du Ziheng would be able to win the favor of a master at the Nascent Soul Realm and experience the drama of a domineering elder's forced love.
After leaving that inn, she found another inn that was in a more remote area.
The auction is tomorrow, and the city is packed with people today. It's not easy to find an inn with a spare room.
Fortunately, those who attended the auction were all wealthy and powerful, and each had one or two influential friends in the city. They would rather stay at a less desirable place than venture into some remote corner.
Yu Zhiyi entered the room of the new inn, set up a barrier, and left a puppet made of talisman paper that looked exactly like her in the room. Then she used an invisibility talisman to leave the inn.
