Chapter 488 Infiltrating the Divine Palace
The so-called important matter naturally refers to rescuing Qu Wanwan and obtaining the antidote for the Red Bean Gu.
According to the investigation, Xia Yue knew that this Junior Sacrificial Official Wu Li and Qu Wanwan were childhood sweethearts.
Qu Wanwan is currently imprisoned in the Divine Palace, which is under strict guard and surrounded by special Gu insect traps, making it extremely difficult to sneak in.
If you want to save someone, it's best to go in openly and honestly.
The Junior Sacrificial Official was the best candidate to lead her in.
"Young lady, we've been chatting for so long, and I still don't know how to address you. Where do you live? How old are you? What do your parents do?" Wu Li began to inquire about Xia Yue's background.
Such a beautiful girl must have many suitors in the Witch Kingdom; he must seize the opportunity.
"My name is Dongxing, I'm twenty-one years old, I don't live in Wucheng, I live in the countryside to the west, my parents are farmers." Xia Yue used fabricated information to appease Wuli.
Wu Li kept all of this in mind, and even began to wonder if his priest father would agree to him marrying a farmer's daughter.
They should agree, since his mother's family are just ordinary merchants; as long as they are respectable people, it's fine.
“Little sister Dongxing, you’re younger than me, so just call me Brother Wuli from now on. I’ll take good care of you!” Wuli smiled like a landlord’s silly son.
Xia Yue nodded.
They soon arrived at Qin's Herbal Medicine Shop.
Xia Yue deliberately said that her mother was seriously ill and needed a very precious thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum to treat her, and that she had come to Wucheng specifically to buy the medicine.
Qin's Herbal Medicine Shop responded, "We only have 500-year-old Ganoderma lucidum here, not 1000-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. Please go to other places to buy it."
"How could this be? Isn't your Qin's Pharmacy the largest and most abundant in the country? If even you don't have it, where else could you find it?" Xia Yue's expression was one of panic and grief.
When Wu Li saw this, he felt heartbroken!
He quickly said, "Sister Dongxing, don't worry, I have some at home! I can help you find a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum!"
"Really?"
"Of course it's true."
"Can you take me to your house to get it now? I'll pay! I'll give you all my money!" Xia Yue pretended to be an innocent and naive little girl.
She really felt that she could not only become a miracle doctor in the future, but also make a name for herself in the entertainment industry.
Wu Li couldn't resist such a "honey trap" and quickly said, "We're friends, I don't want your money, come with me, I'll take you to my house!"
Wu Li felt like a hero, saving a beauty from danger, which greatly satisfied his vanity.
Xia Yue smiled slightly, knowing that she had achieved the first step, and calmly followed Wu Li away.
Along the way, Wu Li chatted with Xia Yue for a long time, and finally Wu Li invited Xia Yue to his home as a guest.
Xia Yue readily agreed and even asked Wu Li to accompany her to the hotel to retrieve her luggage.
Her luggage consisted of three enormous suitcases.
The box was so big that it could fit a grown man inside.
Xia Yue immediately called a truck to transport the boxes.
"Actually, you don't need to bring so much luggage in. I will arrange for someone to take care of whatever you need."
"I can't accept that, it's too much trouble for you."
"No trouble at all, we're friends, this is nothing."
"Thank you, thank you so much, Brother Wuli."
"Haha—could you call me that again? I don't know why, but I get really excited when you call me Brother Wuli!"
“Brother Wuli.”
"Eh!!!"
Wu Li was as excited as a silly boy who had just fallen in love.
Hidden in the suitcase, Qin Yeting had keen hearing. Hearing the conversation outside, he really wanted to cut out Wu Li's tongue!
That damn brat deserves another beating.
But he held back; this was the best opportunity to infiltrate the temple, and he couldn't let it slip away.
On the way back to the temple, Wu Li was actually struggling internally.
He feared that the girl he was new to like would only be attracted to the power behind him, not to him as a person, after seeing the palace he lived in.
He was already starting to regret it; how could he have been so stupid? It was just a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum; he could have just sent the guards to get it!
He himself should have used this time to cultivate relationships with the girls he had just met!
But now that we're almost at the shrine, it seems like it's not really possible to change our route or find another excuse.
Wu Li never expected that he would be so cowardly when it came to relationship problems.
He's timid in front of Qu Wanwan, and he's also timid in front of Dongxing. Ah, how is he ever going to find a girlfriend if he keeps going like this?
"Um...it looks like a shrine up ahead. Are you really the junior priest of the shrine?" Xia Yue asked deliberately.
"Of course not. Actually, I was lying to you. I'm not the Junior Sacrificial Official, but I'm a friend of the Junior Sacrificial Official. I'm a minor official, so it's no problem for me to take you in." Wu Li decided to continue lying.
Although this lie will be exposed sooner or later, he hopes that his pure feelings for Dongxing can last a little longer.
And so, thanks to Wu Li's connections, Xia Yue was able to enter the Divine Palace smoothly, which was even smoother than she had imagined.
Someone at the door tried to search her suitcase, but Wu Li scolded the guards and told them that girls' things shouldn't be checked casually.
Those people dared not offend the Junior Sacrificial Official, and they all shut their mouths.
After arriving at the accommodations arranged by Wu Li, Wu Li specially found two maids for Xia Yue to take care of her and make sure she could rest well.
Xia Yue didn't want her secret to be discovered, so she quickly refused.
“I’m from the countryside, I’m not used to being waited on. I can live alone, you can let them go back.”
