Chapter 454 Distinguished Guests of Liberty City
Although the guards were not friendly when they first appeared, they maintained a professional attitude. Their arrogance was not directed at her, but at everyone.
It wasn't until they went inside to inspect the damage to the restaurant that they found out.
Yu Zhiyi was certain that no suspicious person approached them while they were checking.
The reason that caused them to change their attitude is quite subtle.
What did they find at the scene?
Or is it that someone used a similar telepathic communication technique to make them target her?
If the former is true, what clues did they discover?
If the latter is the case, could it be that the people from the Taixu Sect made them change their attitude at the last minute?
She had a premonition that once she left with these people today, it wouldn't be easy for her to get out again.
Yet, she didn't sense any threat to her life.
On the contrary, in the instant she was attacked for no reason, she felt a suffocating sense that she was doomed to die.
His divine sense had already established a connection with the Blue Lightning Talisman, and he could take out the Blue Lightning Talisman at any time to protect himself.
Before she could decide whether to take action, a familiar, cold voice rang out: "Let's see who dares to take her away!"
Yuan Yajun descended from the sky with Uncle Hong. Yuan Yajun had a cold demeanor, completely different from the slightly sorrowful demeanor that Yu Zhiyi had seen because of her concern for her younger sister.
Uncle Hong became increasingly arrogant.
Before the guard could speak, Uncle Hong said coldly, "This is the eldest daughter of the Yuan family in Freedom City, and that Miss Yu is a distinguished guest of our Yuan family. Is Shoushi City preparing to become enemies with the Yuan family?"
The male guard was taken aback and looked at Yu Zhiyi with some surprise. After a moment, he revealed a fawning smile: "I'm sorry, young lady, I didn't know your identity. Please forgive me if I have offended you."
Yu Zhiyi's expression was cold: "If you want me to forgive you, tell me what you found in the inn?"
The male guard's expression changed slightly, but he hesitated to speak.
Seeing his conflicted expression, Yu Zhiyi activated her Golden Samsara Eye.
According to the records of the Purple Gold Red Eyes, when the owner first awakened the Purple Gold Red Eyes, he was unable to control this power, so his red eyes would appear every time he used it.
However, as long as the owner intends to control it, they can hide their red eyes when using the ability.
Fortunately, the method of hiding was recorded in this incomplete manual.
Although the Golden Reincarnation Eye and the Purple-Gold-Red Eye are not the same innate ability, they have similar effects.
After several attempts and improvements, Yu Zhiyi finally found a way to hide the Golden Reincarnation Eye.
For example, right now, she is staring intently at the man's face, his entire life trajectory laid bare, including what he has just seen and what he has been thinking.
This process may seem lengthy, but it can actually be completed in just a moment.
To others, she merely gave the man a cold glance.
"Forget it." Yu Zhiyi waved her hand, looking listless. "I've been drawing talismans day and night for the past few days, I'm exhausted, I can't be bothered to argue with you."
He then said to the innkeeper, "Your inn claims to be one of the best-protected in the city, but is this all the protection you've got? If I hadn't reacted in time, I'd probably be dead in the inn by now. Aren't you going to give me an explanation?"
The innkeeper wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, smiling apologetically, and decided to give Yu Zhiyi a superior room for free, and compensate her with 100,000 spirit stones as payment for the pills and for her emotional distress.
Yu Zhiyi accepted it with a smile.
The city guards quickly disappeared into the crowd.
After the excitement subsided, the crowd dispersed.
Yu Zhiyi and Yuan Yajun and her servants have arrived at the room that the inn has newly compensated for Yu Zhiyi.
Yuan Yajun gave Uncle Hong a wink, and Uncle Hong quickly created a barrier with his hands, enveloping the three of them inside.
Yuan Yajun got straight to the point: "Miss Yu, I have two things to tell you."
"First, your calculations are accurate. I found out through some special channels that my sister was indeed captured by the Gan family. The reason they captured her is most likely, as you said, because they wanted her lifespan."
"Secondly, the situation of my Yuan family is very complicated. Right now, I am the only one who can rescue my sister. However, the abilities of Uncle Hong and me alone are not enough to take her away from the Gan family. We need to ask Miss Yu for help."
The large family has many factions, which are deeply intertwined.
Although she was the eldest daughter of the Yuan family and her father was the head of the family, her situation became very difficult after her mother passed away.
Everyone hoped that the two sisters would disappear soon so that their father, having no successor, would accept a new woman and give birth to the heir that everyone was hoping for.
Unfortunately, the head of the Yuan family had recently gone into seclusion.
She tried to mobilize the Yuan family's personnel over the past two days, but found that all the people she could use had been transferred elsewhere and couldn't come over in a short time.
The few who were able to get here were neither of high status nor strong enough to snatch the person from the Gan family.
She didn't even dare to directly break ties with the Gan family, because who knew if these despicable guys would kill her out of guilt?
Yu Zhiyi said, "I am just a minor Golden Core cultivator. If even Miss Yuan cannot save people from the Gan family, then what can I do?"
Yuan Yajun quickly said, "Miss Yu, please don't underestimate yourself. You have already broken through to the Golden Core Realm at such a young age, which is already very remarkable. Moreover, those who enter the Dao with their lives are naturally much more powerful than ordinary cultivators."
This is not an exaggeration or flattery, because throughout the history of the Hidden Realm, cultivators who entered the Dao by risking their lives were basically undefeated among experts of the same level.
She wouldn't dare say she's invincible, but at least, no other cultivator could harm her.
What Yuan Yajun needs is Yu Zhiyi's divination ability.
Yu Zhiyi tapped the table lightly: "Let's not even talk about whether I have the ability to rescue the Second Miss. Even if I do... Now everyone in Shoushi City knows that I am on good terms with the eldest daughter of the Yuan family. Once the Second Miss is rescued, the Gan family will definitely know that I helped you."
"At that time, they may not dare to retaliate against you, but they can certainly use me as a scapegoat."
Yuan Yajun understood immediately: "Miss Yu, please rest assured. I was only caught in the trap of a villain and ended up in a helpless situation. My father will be out of seclusion soon, and at that time, I will settle accounts with those audacious fellows from the Gan family and the Yuan family one by one."
She tilted her chin slightly, her arrogant eyes full of confidence: "Moreover, I can help you find out who intends to assassinate you and do everything in my power to hunt him down."
Yu Zhiyi's eyes flickered, and she suddenly asked a completely unrelated question: "If I may ask, what is your father's strength?"
Although she had been cramming on the basics of the Hidden Realm these past few days, the Hidden Realm was too vast, and the various forces were intricately intertwined.
If her master hadn't mentioned Freedom City that day, she wouldn't even have known that such a powerful and extraordinary force existed.
The reason it is described as transcendent is because Liberty City values peace and freedom and does not restrict the identities of its residents.
Whether you are human, demon, or monster, as long as you behave yourself, you can make a living in the city.
A city lord who can lead such a force must be quite powerful.
But Yu Zhiyi still wanted to be reassured.
After all... the identity and strength of the assassin she gleaned from the male guard's face were beyond her current capabilities to handle.
