76. Trading Cooperation

"You can drink tea if you want, or ask for help if you want, but you have to defeat me first!"

Ye Li looked at the romantic gentleman who was staring at her with a provocative look, and she felt amused in her heart. She knew that Han Mingyue was not in Jiangnan now, and she even knew where Han Mingyue had gone. Although Han Mingyue and Han Mingxi were brothers, Han Mingxi was obviously much easier to deal with than Han Mingyue. For various reasons, Ye Li did not want to meet Han Mingyue, "What does Mr. Han want to bet on?"

Han Mingxi raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I won't take advantage of you. Weren't you very powerful just now? Let's roll the dice and compare the size."

Ye Li raised her eyebrows and did not object, "Okay."

Han Mingxi smiled with satisfaction and said, "Okay, that's straightforward. If you can beat me, I will help you with whatever you ask for." Ye Li smiled and said, "That's not necessary. I'm not the type of person who likes to ask for too much. Even if I ask for something, I won't let you suffer. After all... business can only last long if it's mutually beneficial, don't you think?"

"Interesting." Han Mingxi smiled, "What if you lose?"

Ye Li said: "If I lose today's event, just pretend I never mentioned it. Besides, I just won 210,000 taels of silver in the noble building as a bet."

"One game determines the outcome?" Han asked clearly.

"Please." Ye Li raised her hand to signal.

Han Mingxi flicked his sleeves, and the guqin on the table flew out and landed on a cabinet at the side. Han Mingyue took out a set of dice from the side and put them on the table and said proudly: "You can check the dice first." Ye Li shook her head, pushed the dice cup back and said with a smile: "I believe in the reputation of Qingfeng Mingyue Tower and Mr. Han. Mr. Han, please go first."

Han Mingxi curled his lips and asked, "Bigger or smaller?"

Ye Li hesitated for a moment and said, "Big."

Han Mingxi snorted softly, picked up the dice cup on the table and put it away along with the dice, then began to shake it slowly. Ye Li leisurely admired Han Mingxi's shaking of the dice, which was very pleasing to the eye. The dice cup in his hands performed various tricks like magic, and was finally slammed heavily on the table. Raising an eyebrow at Ye Li, Han Mingxi opened the dice cup without even looking at it. Ye Li looked at the dice on the table calmly. The original three dice had become six, and three and a half dice were cut diagonally in the middle. Six pyramids were formed neatly and fell on the table, "Mr. Han has great internal strength, thirty-three points."

Han Mingxi was obviously in a good mood, and looked at Ye Li with a smile, "It seems that this one is unusable. Master Chu can use a new one. I believe Master Chu will not repeat what others have said, right?"

Ye Li looked calm as he calmly took a new set of ivory dice from Han Mingxi and threw them into the dice cup. Unlike Han Mingxi's various shaking methods, Ye Li just shook the dice cup in a proper manner, and his speed was not fast. The water pavilion was quiet, and only the sound of the dice being shaken and collided could be heard. However, Han Mingxi's originally relaxed and carefree smile gradually became solemn. Even his lazy body, which was leaning sideways, sat up straight, staring at Ye Li's calm face. He could not even tell what the dice might come out of! But he was not too worried about winning or losing. Thirty-three points was already the highest number he could get. Unless the boy in front of him imitated his approach, there was no way he could beat him.

Bang! Ye Li put the dice cup back on the table, looked at Han Mingxi with a smile and said, "Mr. Han, do you want to guess what the score is?"

Han Mingxi gave her a disdainful look and said, "No matter how many points you have, you can't beat me. Open it. Let me see how powerful Master Chu is."

Ye Li raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Mr. Han is right."

Slowly opened the dice cup. The three dice were intact on the table. But... the three dice were standing on the table with one corner point, and one slope was leaning against each other. Two sides of each dice were facing up, and these two sides happened to be five and six, which means that Ye Li also had thirty-three points. Ye Li smiled and said, "Thirty-three points, it's a tie. What do you think, Mr. Han?"

Han Mingxi stared at her for a long while before he spoke in a deep voice, "You win. If you have anything to say, just say it." With a wave of his hand, the dice cup with three dice was sent to the treasure chest on the side. Han Mingxi said loudly, "Bring the tea."

In the water pavilion, Ye Li was tasting the exquisite tea that had just been served with satisfaction. Qingfeng Mingyue Pavilion was indeed the best place in the world for enjoyment, and even the tea was almost comparable to the tributes in the palace. Han Mingxi stared at Ye Li with a deep gaze, "Mr. Chu, can you now tell me what you want to see the owner of Tianyi Pavilion about?"

Ye Li put down the teacup and smiled faintly, "It's not a big deal. I'm going to Southern Xinjiang soon, so I need some intelligence. Since Tianyi Pavilion is known as the best intelligence organization in Da Chu, I have no choice but to come and ask for help."

Being flattered by someone who was no less capable than himself, Han Mingxi's expression eased a little, and he snorted softly, saying, "Since you know the relationship between Qingfeng Mingyue Tower and Tianyi Pavilion, you must be well-informed. Why would you still need the help of Tianyi Pavilion?" Ye Li smiled helplessly, "I know this... just by accident. I hope that Mr. Han will not blame me for being presumptuous. Of course, since Tianyi Pavilion makes a living by selling intelligence, I will certainly pay a reward that will satisfy Tianyi Pavilion."

Han Mingyue narrowed her eyes slightly, leaned back and looked at Ye Li leisurely, "Oh? Tianyi Pavilion is satisfied... It seems that Master Chu is very confident in himself."

Ye Li smiled and said, "I believe that since Tianyi Pavilion is open for business, it shouldn't ask for an exorbitant price, right?"

"Huh! Mr. Chu, are you planning to use the money you won from Qingfeng Mingyue Tower to pay the bill for Tianyi Pavilion?"

"How dare I. I happen to have two shops in Guangling City. Although they are newly opened, I believe they will be pleasing to Mr. Han." Ye Li drank tea calmly and smiled at Han Mingxi. Han Mingxi frowned slightly, and his handsome face with a bit of evil inadvertently exuded a fascinating aura. Although Ye Li was not affected by him, she could not help but admire him in her heart. He looked very similar to Han Mingyue, but the temperament was too different.

"Mr. Chu, are you talking about the spice shop called Xun Ya Pavilion that opened on Xuanwu Street half a year ago?" Han Mingxi asked with obvious tentativeness.

Ye Li nodded and said, "That's right. I'm sure Mr. Han knows how much money Xun Ya Pavilion can make. As long as Mr. Han can provide me with satisfactory information, I can give Mr. Han 20% of Xun Ya Pavilion's profits every year."

"Every year?" Han Mingxi raised his eyebrows and said, "Then this young master can understand that what Young Master Chu said is a long-term cooperation? Xun Ya Pavilion is indeed quite profitable, but it seems that it has not yet reached the level of being able to become a long-term partner of Tianyi Pavilion." Of course he knew Xun Ya Pavilion. In fact, the spices he was using on his body now were from Xun Ya Pavilion. And since he used the spices from Xun Ya Pavilion, other spices were no longer in his eyes. Xun Ya Pavilion has only been open for business in Guangling City for less than half a year, but its popularity has already overshadowed all the time-honored cosmetics and spice shops in Guangling City. It's just that because the price is more than three times more expensive than that of ordinary stores, it is not very popular among ordinary families. But Han Mingxi is sure that at least 70% of the ladies and nobles in the entire Guangling City use the spices from Xun Ya Pavilion. If Xun Ya Pavilion is willing to lower its prices, I believe it will be just a matter of time before it dominates the spice industry.

Ye Li smiled and shook her head, "Master Han, do you know who is the easiest person to make money from in this world?"

Han Mingxi frowned, "Of course it's the wealthy businessmen." The amazing annual income of Qingfeng Mingyue Tower is provided by these wealthy businessmen. Ye Li stretched out the hand holding the folding fan and shook it, smiling, "No, it's a woman."

"Women?" Han Mingxi sneered. Women have no source of income and are completely dependent on men. This means they cannot spend money as freely as men. And few women can spend money as generously as men. Ye Li sighed and casually played with the folding fan in her hand, smiling: "In this world... there are more women than men. But... not all men like to eat, drink, gamble and whore, but it is destined that all women like young and beautiful women." Even the female soldiers in their previous lives, even if they were no worse than men on the battlefield, when they went out on the street, their first choice would always be clothing and cosmetics stores.

Han Mingxi's heart moved. He didn't have his brother's amazing talent and sharpness in business, nor did he care too much about money. But that didn't mean he was a fool. Naturally, he understood what was said. Giving Ye Li a look to continue, Han Mingxi reached out to add tea for himself and Ye Li, obviously interested in this topic.

Ye Li didn't care. "The formula of the spices produced by Xun Ya Pavilion is absolutely confidential. Not every cosmetics shop can make it. To be honest, I don't like the quality of cosmetics and spices in Da Chu now. I believe Mr. Han is also dissatisfied, right?" Han Mingxi frowned. He didn't feel anything before. But after Xun Ya Pavilion appeared, he felt that the spices he used before didn't smell that good. Although he also had someone make the best spices in private, the time and energy spent on it definitely far exceeded the value of the spices themselves. Occasionally, he would give Xun Ya Pavilion's things to his confidantes, and those beautiful girls also clearly showed their preference for Xun Ya Pavilion's perfume. Han Mingxi didn't want to admit that he might have indirectly attracted a lot of customers to Xun Ya Pavilion. Ye Li looked at Han Mingxi with satisfaction as he lowered his head in thought, and continued, "Although Xun Ya Pavilion only has this one in Guangling City, from Mr. Han's perspective, it is impossible for me to open such a store in every large and medium-sized city in Da Chu, or... including Xiling, Beirong and Nanjiang, or even further away. After all... where there are women, there is no worry about not being able to sell. What do you think?"

Han Mingxi felt a little scared by the boy who was obviously not even fifteen years old. He believed that if his older brother who loved money was here, he would have a lot to talk about with him. It seemed great to open a Xun Ya Pavilion in every town. Han Mingxi began to imagine that if he opened a Qing Feng Ming Yue Tower in every town, then...

"Haha, I advise Mr. Han not to think like that. Otherwise... Mr. Mingyue will be angry." Seeing Han Mingxi holding his chin with shining eyes and looking outside the water pavilion, Ye Li guessed what he was thinking and quickly stopped him. The reason why Qingfeng Mingyue Tower can become the best building in the world is because of its uniqueness. If it were opened everywhere, it would not be so wonderful. She didn't believe that Han Mingyue didn't open brothels in other places, but they were just not so famous. Moreover, to be honest, the brothel industry does not require much technology. Maybe you can become the best in it, but it is difficult to say that you can completely dominate it.

"Cosmetics and perfumes are consumables, while Qingfeng Mingyue Tower... um, that's entertainment. They are two completely different things, right? However... I think we can definitely cooperate on this point."

Han Mingxi was just being impulsive. If he were to open Qingfeng Mingyue Tower all over Dachu, he would probably run away first. He didn't react much to Ye Li's words and raised his eyebrows to show that he was all ears. Ye Li smiled and said, "For example... the spices and cosmetics used by the girls in Qingfeng Mingyue Tower can be purchased in Xunya Pavilion. What do you think, Mr. Han? As a token of our sincerity for our first cooperation, I can give Mr. Han a special spice, and I will supply it for free indefinitely. How about it?"

Han Mingxi pondered for a moment, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Mr. Chu is so sincere. If I don't agree, wouldn't I be pushing the business away? Very good, Mr. Chu, please tell me what information you need as soon as possible. I think you will feel that it is worth the money." Ye Li nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, then why don't you prepare first, and I will also make some preparations. Let's get together in a few days and sign the contract casually?"

"It's a deal."

After leaving Qingfeng Mingyue Tower, An San heaved a sigh of relief when he returned to an inconspicuous courtyard in Guangling City where the five of them were staying. In front of his brothers who looked at him in surprise, he took out a thick stack of banknotes and threw them on the table. An Er, who was in charge of managing the banknotes, raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Where did you get so many banknotes?" They only brought 20,000 taels from the capital in total. How could the princess bring ten times more just by taking Xiao San out for a walk?

An San glanced at Ye Li, who was sitting on the side waving a folding fan and drinking tea, and said woodenly: "I won it by going to the casino." After saying that, he looked at Ye Li with a lingering fear and said: "Sir, I really didn't expect that we could walk out of there safely today." Ye Li glanced at him and smiled: "Don't worry, if Qingfeng Mingyue Tower would cause trouble for us for a mere 200,000 taels, it would be too embarrassing."

A mere two hundred thousand taels? Even if Qingfeng Mingyue Tower earned two hundred thousand taels a day, it would definitely not be a small amount.

Qingfeng Mingyue Tower?! An Yi, An Er, and An San twitched their lips and decided to forget about it. They were the princess's secret guards, so they would never tell the prince that the princess took An San to visit a brothel.

Ye Li was not in a hurry to find Han Mingxi. She needed the intelligence of Southern Xinjiang to completely cover her whereabouts. In fact, Ye Li did not intend to find Tianyi Pavilion. Although Han Mingxi and Han Mingyue seemed to get along well, Ye Li knew in her heart that Han Mingyue, the gentle man, was more than ten times more difficult to deal with than his flower-picking thief brother. If Ye Li did not know that Han Mingyue was not in Da Chu recently, she would never have contacted Han Mingxi.

Although Han Mingxi seemed unreliable, the intelligence network of Tianyi Pavilion was still quite fast. When Ye Li had just finished touring Guangling City, Han Mingxi came to the door in the morning.

Seeing Han Mingxi, who was dressed in dark red and exuding his evil aura, sitting in the flower hall and flirting with the little girl who brought tea, Ye Li waved her hand to let the blushing little girl go down, and said with a smile: "It's been a few days since we last met, Master Han is still as charming as before." Han Mingxi smiled and said: "No, Master Chu, do you think the spring scenery of Guangling is still pleasing to the eye these days?"

Ye Li didn't expect Han Mingxi to send people to monitor her, nor did she get angry. She smiled calmly and said, "The ancient capital of three dynasties, the scenery is like a painting, how can it not be pleasing to the eyes."

Han Mingxi smiled and said, "Speaking of which, Master Chu forgot some things the other day. It just so happens that I am here today so I can deliver them to you. This will also show my sincerity in cooperation."

Ye Li raised her eyebrows in doubt, looking at Han Mingxi who was smiling with ill intentions. Han Mingxi raised his hands and clapped his hands lightly. Soon, a beautiful woman in purple appeared at the door, "I, Rumei, have seen you, Master Chu." This woman was the Rumei girl who was the banker in the casino a few days ago. Ye Li suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart, "What is this, Master Han?"

Han Mingxi opened his folding fan, his handsome face half hidden behind it, and smiled, "According to the rules of Qingfeng Mingyue Tower, whoever wins the game will be the boss. Master Chu is a great gambler, and Rumei is convinced. From now on, Rumei will no longer be listed in Qingfeng Mingyue Tower, nor will she be a member of Qingfeng Mingyue Tower. She will belong to you, Master Chu. If you like her, you can take her as a concubine, but if not, you can just make her a maid who serves tea, pours water, washes clothes, and cooks."

Seeing Han Mingxi winking at her with an ambiguous smile, Ye Li felt a headache. "Mr. Han, you are too polite. I was just lucky for a while. Besides, I didn't bet with Miss Rumei alone, so I can't say I won Miss Rumei. Therefore, you should take Miss Rumei back."

Han Mingxi closed his fan and tapped his palm nonchalantly, "Does Mr. Chu mean that he doesn't like Rumei?"

After hearing what Han Mingxi said, Miss Rumei's pretty face turned pale. She looked at Ye Li with resentment and stood aside with her head down, crying silently. Ye Li glared at Han Mingxi unhappily and said, "Master Han, since everyone is sincere, why do you have to tease me like this? I have a very strict upbringing, so I can only thank you for your kindness."

Han Mingxi sighed, looked at Ye Li with a face full of complaints and said, "You are so hard-hearted, forget it. Rumei, it seems that Master Chu really doesn't like you anymore, go away." Rumei snorted, stamped her feet, glared at Ye Li angrily and turned away. Ye Li smiled bitterly in her heart. If she really gave her to a brothel girl, not to mention how her grandfather and uncle would react, I'm afraid even Mo Xiuyao would be furious. Mo Xiuyao... Thinking of the sad look in someone's eyes when he left, Ye Li sighed softly in her heart.

"Mr. Chu, who are you thinking about?" Han Mingxi held up his chin and looked at Ye Li curiously. If he was not mistaken, he saw a kind of longing or worry in the eyes of this shrewd and mysterious young man.

"Mr. Han, are you here to discuss such private matters with me?" Ye Li glanced at him and asked calmly.

Han Mingxi shrugged and frowned nonchalantly, "It's okay to talk about it now if you have nothing to do."

"That's perfect. How about Mr. Han also telling us about his... romantic history? I've been quite interested in dialogue books recently. How about writing one called... The Biography of Mr. Fengyue?" Ye Li said with a sidelong smile.

"You are really boring." Han Mingxi muttered. Since Chu Junwei knew the relationship between Qingfeng Mingyue Tower and Tianyi Pavilion, it was not surprising that he, Han Mingxi, was the infamous Fengyue Young Master, knowing Mingyue Young Master's younger brother. However, knowing his reputation, he did not despise him like most people did. Han Mingxi felt that this person seemed to be quite interesting. "We are acquaintances. It's boring to keep calling each other Young Master. How about calling each other by our names? I'll call you Junwei, and you can call me Mingxi."

Ye Li blinked lightly. Jun Wei? Ming Xi? Why did she think this name was a bit strange?

"Brother Han." Ye Li stared at him warningly, reminding him that it was time to get down to business.

"Okay, Jun Wei, are you shy?" Han Mingxi smiled while blinking his charming eyes, and took advantage of Ye Li's outburst to put on a serious look and said, "I have found out what you want. But you also know that we are in Da Chu and most of the people you want to find out are in Southern Xinjiang. So there is only a part of it here, and I will have people deliver the rest to you after you enter Southern Xinjiang. But... I am more curious, Jun Wei, you are still young, why do you want to go to Southern Xinjiang for no reason. Even if you are going to travel... it seems that there is no need to find out about the Nanzhao royal family and the Southern Xinjiang Saint."

Ye Li said calmly, "To be honest, I went to Southern Xinjiang to look for a medicine, and this medicine seems to have something to do with the Nanzhao royal family and Southern Xinjiang."

Han Mingxi raised his eyebrows, jokingly saying, "Jun Wei, you are generous and I am not stingy. Just tell me what medicine you want and I will get it for you. Why bother to travel thousands of miles by yourself? You don't want the Southern Xinjiang treasure, the Netherworld Flower, do you?" Ye Li nodded seriously and said, "That's right."

Han Mingxi's smile froze, and he sighed helplessly, "You... The Netherworld Flower is the treasure of Southern Xinjiang, and is guarded by the Saint of Southern Xinjiang. Not to mention ordinary people, even if the King of Nanzhao wants to get it, he may not be able to get it. Jun Wei, are you sure you want to go?" Ye Li nodded firmly, "If not, why would I spend so much money to buy information from Tianyi Pavilion? The trip to Southern Xinjiang is inevitable, so I would like to trouble Brother Han to help me prepare the information in detail, so that I won't go and never come back, and you will lose a business partner."

"As far as I know, although the Netherworld Flower is said to have the effect of bringing the dead back to life, I don't know if anyone has used it to bring the dead back to life. I do know that those who tried to get it died cleanly. Jun Wei, is there someone you want to save?" Han Mingxi asked with some concern, "Is it some disease or poison? Maybe I can help you find out if there is any other way."

Seeing Han Mingxi so worried, Ye Li felt a little guilty and said quickly: "No need, I'm just trying my best. If it really doesn't work, I won't risk my life." Han Mingxi nodded and said: "You'd better think so. Southern Xinjiang is not like our Central Plains. There are always some evil spirits. Even our Tianyi Pavilion is often restricted in Southern Xinjiang and can't do anything."

"I see. Thank you, Brother Han." Ye Li nodded and took out a small and exquisite glass bottle from a box on the table. It was half filled with light green liquid. "This is what I promised to give to Brother Han. I hope Brother Han is satisfied."

Han Mingxi took it curiously. Once he opened the glass bottle, a delicate floral scent wafted out and filled the hall. Han Mingxi said happily, "This is... the scent of orchids..."

"Although this smell doesn't seem to suit Brother Han's taste, we'll have to put up with it for now." Ye Li actually couldn't quite understand the meaning of a man making himself smell so good, but she decided to respect the personal preferences of her new partner.

Han Mingxi didn't care at all, holding the small glass bottle in his hand, "How could that be? It's really great, thank you Jun Wei. Let's settle the matter of cosmetics and fragrances from Qingfeng Mingyue Tower and Xun Ya Pavilion that Jun Wei mentioned before. From now on, all the spices and cosmetics that Qingfeng Mingyue Tower needs can be ordered from Xun Ya Pavilion." Ye Li nodded and smiled, "Thank you so much, Brother Han."

"You're welcome, we are mutually beneficial. Jun Wei, can you give me something with a stronger flavor next time? This seems to be much better than the spices. If I sell it in Xun Ya Pavilion, I will definitely make more money."

Ye Li twitched her lips and said, "This is not easy to do. Including the bottle of Xun Ya Pavilion in Brother Han's hand, there are only five bottles in total. And... Brother Han, I actually have a question that I have always wanted to ask."

"Ask whatever you want. I will tell you everything I know." Han Mingqing was in a good mood after getting something good. He waved his hand nonchalantly.

Ye Li looked at him and said, "With a job like yours... is it really convenient to create such a fragrant scent to harm people?" If it was an ordinary family, it would be fine. But if you were picking flowers at a heavily guarded house or a house with martial arts skills, you would be able to smell such a fragrance as long as your nose is not damaged, right?

Han Mingxi was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to figure out what Ye Li meant by career. He glared at her and said, "You are still a little kid, you don't understand the elegance of a man. I don't know how much beauties like my scent."

Ye Li was speechless. Did she think she had never seen a man before? The five Xu brothers, Mo Xiuyao, Feng Zhiyuan, and Mo Jingli, at most, only used some light fragrance on their clothes, such as dragon incense, musk, or sandalwood. Mo Xiuyao probably only had a light scent of ink because he stayed in the study for a long time. I have never seen a man who would use such a slutty scent. Why doesn't he make himself a big incense burner?

After sending away Han Mingxi, who looked reluctant, after promising to wait for him to return from Southern Xinjiang to see if he could make better spices for him, Ye Li sat down to look at the things Han Mingxi had brought over.

"Master, when are we leaving for Southern Xinjiang?" An San and An Si were fiddling with the things Ye Li had just bought, while looking at Ye Li who was sitting and reading the files. Ye Li stared at the files in his hand without raising his head and said, "The Guangling matter has been dealt with almost, and we will leave early the day after tomorrow. You can also take a look at these things." He casually threw a few pieces of paper, and An Yi and An Er took them in their hands and sat down to read them attentively.

"Also, I'm leaving the day after tomorrow. Only one of you can go with me."

The four of them stopped what they were doing and looked at Ye Li's calm face in astonishment, "Princess... Young Master, this..." An frowned and said, Southern Xinjiang is not like the Central Plains. They are unfamiliar with the place, and it is too dangerous for the princess to go with only one person. Ye Li looked up and smiled at them and said, "Don't you think the five of us are very eye-catching? People in Southern Xinjiang are very xenophobic. I'm afraid that our group will be targeted as soon as we enter Southern Xinjiang."

"But it's too dangerous for you to bring only one person. What if something happens..." said An San.

"Do you not believe me or yourself?" Ye Li asked with a raised eyebrow.

The four of them looked at each other, unable to say anything in rebuttal. Ye Li smiled and said, "Okay, it's decided. An San, come with me. An Si, you stay and keep an eye on Qing Feng Ming Yue Tower. If Han Ming Yue comes back or there's any movement, send me a message immediately. Be careful not to be discovered by him. An Yi, you go to Sui Xue Pass and try to sneak into the military camp. If I don't send you a message, you don't have to pay attention to anything else. No matter who you see among us or anyone from the palace, just pretend you don't know. Keep an eye on the situation in Lingzhou. An Er, set out tonight and take my token to Nanjiang to find my elder brother. Just follow him after you find him."

Seeing that Ye Li had obviously made plans long ago, the four of them nodded in agreement. Ye Li looked at them with a smile, "Unless it is absolutely necessary, you are not allowed to contact the capital. I think... you all know what it means to be a last resort, right?"

The four of them responded helplessly. An San had a bitter face and drooped his head. The other three also looked at him with sympathy. He would definitely be chopped into pieces by the prince.

Ye Li had no mind to care about the feelings of several subordinates. She stared at the file about the Saint of Southern Xinjiang in her hand and pondered. The Saint of Southern Xinjiang was not just a nominal title without real power as she had thought before. On the contrary, the Saint of Southern Xinjiang had considerable influence on the political affairs of Nanzhao, and in some aspects, even higher than the royal family of Nanzhao. However, the Saint could not have children, and each time a new Saint appeared, the previous Saint had to enter the Holy Land of Southern Xinjiang to guard the Netherworld Flower, and could not step out of the Holy Land of Southern Xinjiang or see outsiders for the rest of her life. Therefore, the threat to the royal power was not so sharp. The current Saint was named Shu Manlin, and she was twenty-three years old this year. According to the rules of Southern Xinjiang, the Saint must abdicate at the latest when she is twenty-eight years old.

Ye Li frowned, secretly wondering if the reason why the Saint of Southern Xinjiang wanted to rebel was because of this. After all, a 28-year-old woman who had enjoyed supreme honor was imprisoned in a holy place of unknown origin, and was not allowed to see outsiders. No matter who it was, it was a very cruel thing.

"Master, are we really going to get the Youluo Minghua?" An San asked curiously when he saw Ye Li staring at the file of the Saint of Southern Xinjiang.

Ye Li answered nonchalantly: "If we can get it, of course we would. But the affairs of Southern Xinjiang still come first." Finally, she asked whether the Netherworld Flower would be useful to Mo Xiuyao's body before deciding whether to take it.
