"Why?" Yun Jianyue asked curiously, the maid's tone was far too decisive.
"Because our family has to pay a considerable price to use that talisman, he certainly won't use it easily. It's just that the Second Young Master was previously... cough cough, it's just that the Second Young Master admired the two young ladies and forgot about it for a moment." The maid smiled.
Seeing the two women's bewildered expressions, the maid said again, "But you can rest assured. After all, the patriarch is an elder of the Divine Firmament Sect, whose disciples are all over the world. The Wang family members are also scattered all over the country. With the help of these intelligence networks, they should be able to assist you."
Yun Jianyue and Xie Daoyun exchanged a glance, both seeing the worry in each other's eyes. This world was too unpredictable. Every extra day meant more danger. Moreover, the Wang family had no relation to them, so even if they sent people to investigate, they might not be able to do it wholeheartedly.
At this moment, Yun Jianyue suddenly recalled what the maid had just said and asked, "Under what circumstances would your master use that talisman?"
"Let's not even talk about the patriarch using it himself. In the past hundred years, he has only used it three times for others, and each time the other party had to pay a huge price to succeed," the maid replied.
Yun Jianyue's eyes lit up: "That means we can trade now!"
"It's possible, but as the head of the family, Master has seen countless rare treasures. He wouldn't be interested in ordinary things." The maid stared at the two of them suspiciously. They were beautiful, but how could they possibly have anything that would move Master's heart?
Yun Jianyue smiled and didn't argue. As the leader of the Demonic Sect, she naturally had some resources.
The two women kept the maid around to gather more information about the Wang family. At first, the maid was very wary, but after Yun Jianyue took out a beautiful gem, she smiled a lot more. She not only told them about the Wang family, but also gave them a general overview of the gifts given to the three successful people before.
...
The next morning, Wang Neishi excitedly came to invite the two women to breakfast. During the meal, he said that his father had agreed to send people to help find Zu'an and the others, and that the two women should stay here for a while and wait for news.
Based on the information the maid provided last night, the two women naturally knew that it was their father who refused to use the rune. As for sending someone to help search, it was just a nice excuse; ultimately, he wanted to keep them here.
Xie Daoyun had already discussed it with Yun Jianyue last night. Seeing this, she smiled and said, "Thank you, Young Master Wang! We have come from afar and have a gift to give to your father. We hope you can help us make an introduction."
"A gift?" Wang Neishi frowned slightly, but then he remembered that the two of them had mentioned yesterday that they had come specifically to see his father, so they must have heard about the talisman before. So he hesitated for a moment and said, "But my father has been in seclusion for many years. Many years ago, countless people came to ask him for favors. He was so annoyed that he ordered that anyone who disturbed him and failed to satisfy him would have their soul taken as compensation. That's why the situation of his door being so crowded has improved a little."
"I want to remind you that over the years, only three people have succeeded."
Yesterday, seeing the two women was too beautiful, and I was momentarily overcome with lust. So I patted my chest and assured them that it wouldn't be difficult to ask my father to do this, since I was his favorite son. But to my surprise, they didn't give me any face and still stuck to the old rules.
Xie Daoyun felt a chill run down her spine, never expecting that meeting the Wang family head would be so dangerous.
Yun Jianyue remained calm: "Second Young Master, please rest assured, our gift will definitely satisfy your father."
The maid deliberately concealed this fact yesterday, which suggests she had ulterior motives. Could it be that she was afraid we would compete with her for favor? How ridiculous!
Wang Neishi recalled their battle with the countless ghosts that roamed the mountains yesterday; they were indeed extraordinary people, and perhaps they truly had a gift that would win her father's heart.
However, this matter is far too dangerous; what if I really anger my father...
At this moment, Xie Daoyun said pitifully, "Besides, we still have you, Second Young Master. If anything goes wrong, you will definitely protect us, right?"
Seeing the other person's pitiful appearance, and even a hint of admiration in their eyes, Wang Neishi felt a surge of pride: "Of course!"
The price my father paid for using that talisman was indeed quite high, so it would be normal for him to refuse to help the two girls even if I begged him.
But given how much my father dotes on me, protecting these two women shouldn't be a big problem. At worst, I can just say I like them. The old man can't possibly lay a hand on his daughter-in-law, can he?
He even somewhat hoped that the two women's gifts would not satisfy his father, so that he would have a chance to play the hero and save the damsels in distress.
