This was the voice of the woman named Hongyu from the Crimson Treasury that Ye Feng encountered on his way to the capital!
After a moment of silence, Ye Feng said, "I am not Ge Shuyinglong, I am Luo Tong, the lord of Xinluo City."
"Wow!"
A scream came from the ring.
"What are you yelling about? Speak properly," Ye Feng laughed.
Hongyu asked in shock, "Why...why did Geshu Yinglong's ring end up in His Highness the Prince of Nanling's hands? What happened?"
“I was just about to talk to you. If it’s convenient for you, please come to my city of Silla,” Ye Feng said.
“Yes, I understand. I will head to Silla City as soon as possible,” Hongyu said.
Everywhere in Silla Castle, people were busy at work.
Some people are building houses, some are cultivating fertile fields, and some are building roads... The entire city of Silla is thriving and full of vitality.
A woman dressed in a crimson dress and with a veil covering her face walked here, her bright red eyes wide as she curiously looked at everything around her, as if everything here brought her a strong sense of novelty.
She is Hongyu, a staff member of the Zhu Hongbaoku.
Hongyu was indeed feeling very refreshed, after all, the scenery here was something she had never seen anywhere else.
That must be the blacksmith's workshop, right?
But what on earth is that furnace that's over ten meters tall?
Could it be an iron smelting furnace?
Why is the iron smelting furnace in Silla Castle different from those in other castles?
And what is that noisy machine, and how does it work?
Most importantly, the person operating that device was not a martial artist or a qi cultivator, but merely an ordinary person with no martial arts skills!
When did magical artifacts become something that ordinary people could use at will?
Hongyu stared in disbelief at everything before her, her heart filled with turmoil.
The people around her seemed not to see Hongyu at all; they all passed by her without giving her a second glance.
However, at that moment, a short girl wearing purple leather armor appeared in front of her.
"Who are you? What are you doing trespassing into our Silla City? I warn you, you had better surrender immediately and kneel down to beg for mercy, or I, as the Director of the Surveillance Department, will absolutely not let you go!"
Hongyu turned her head and looked at Zijing curiously, asking, "Can you see me?"
"Nonsense, why can't I see you? Is it strange that I can see you?" Zijing said bluntly.
"To be honest, I actually used a very sophisticated concealment technique, so you shouldn't be able to see me," Hongyu said earnestly.
“Then there must be something wrong with your breath concealment technique,” Zijing said without hesitation.
Hongyu was about to say something more when she suddenly sensed a peculiar aura emanating from Zijing.
She immediately understood and stopped asking questions.
“I’ve come to visit your Silla City Lord, the first King of Nanling. Since you are his guard, please lead the way for me,” Hongyu said with a smile.
Unexpectedly, Zijing raised her right hand and extended it in front of Hongyu, saying in an imposing manner, "One low-grade spirit stone!"
"You want spirit stones from me? Why?" Hongyu asked, completely bewildered.
"Of course it's a guide fee!" Zijing said matter-of-factly.
Hongyu was completely bewildered.
After a long silence, Hongyu finally managed to ask, "Are you interested in working at our Crimson Treasury?"
"You want to poach Old Deng's men? No way, I don't want to be a traitor!" Zijing said, shaking her head.
"What does 'a slave to three masters' mean?" Hongyu was even more puzzled.
"Old Deng told me that people who frequently change masters are traitors and not trustworthy," Zijing said smugly, with an expression that said, "I know more than you and I'm more knowledgeable than you."
Hongyu wanted to ask more questions, but suddenly a voice rang in Zijing and Hongyu's ears.
"Since you're here, hurry up and come over. Stop chatting... Also, don't ask her for directions. She's my guest."
That was clearly the sound of the night wind.
When Zijing heard Yefeng say that she couldn't ask Hongyu for a guide fee, she immediately lost interest and walked ahead dejectedly to lead the way for Hongyu.
Before long, Hongyu was led by Zijing to the spacious tent where the night wind had locked her.
"It's been a long time. I wonder how Your Highness Prince Nanling has been?" Hongyu greeted him with a smile.
Night Wind said, "Let's skip the greetings. I didn't invite you here for idle chatter. Let's speak frankly."
"Skylight?"
As Hongyu spoke, she looked up.
Night Breeze coughed and said, "This is just a metaphor, meaning frank communication, without hiding anything."
"I see! No wonder he's an ancient relic from seven hundred years ago; he knows so much!" Hongyu exclaimed.
Night Wind completely ignored the words "ancient artifact from seven hundred years ago" and took out Ge Shuyinglong's ring, saying, "To be honest, I'm very surprised. Are you sure this ring really belongs to the previous Dragon General of the Divine Sword Empire?"
"I am absolutely certain."
Hongyu walked over, took the ring from Yefeng's hand, and said seriously, "The rings we make for each of our VIP clients in the Crimson Treasury are unique, so this ring truly belongs to Geshu Yinglong, the previous Dragon General of the Divine Sword Empire."
“That’s really strange, because this ring didn’t come from Ge Shuyinglong; it came from an elder of the Flesh and Blood Spirit,” Ye Feng said.
"What? Those lunatics from the Spirit of Flesh and Blood?"
Hongyu was taken aback, her face showing disbelief.
Before Ye Feng could say anything more, Hong Yu shook her head repeatedly: "Forgive my rudeness, Your Highness Prince Nanling, you must be mistaken! Although our Crimson Treasury deals with all sorts of races, such as the Tree Spirit Clan, the Sea Spirit Clan, and even the Beastman Clan, we would never associate with your evil human sects!"
"Your human race is an extremely complex race, and the people of your evil sects are even more incomprehensible madmen. Our Crimson Treasury will never establish any relationship with the people of the three evil sects: the Spirit of Flesh and Blood, the Eternal Dream, and the Storm of Destruction!"
Night Wind frowned and said, "But I did obtain this ring from an elder of the Spirit of Flesh and Blood. Do you think I'm lying to you?"
Hongyu fell silent and didn't utter a sound for a long time.
At this moment, Zijing suddenly said, "Is it possible that this ring originally belonged to Geshu Yinglong, the previous Dragon General of the Divine Sword Empire, but Geshu Yinglong disappeared, so the elder of the Flesh and Blood Spirit picked up his ring and then we took it back?"
