No wonder... no wonder he's no match for you. Even a hundred of you wouldn't be a match for him.
"It seems that the crow has already sent you a letter."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Feng Chu broke out in a cold sweat: "Your Majesty, how do you intend to deal with this blind fool?"
"Yue'er, what do you want to do?" Yin Ming looked at Liu Yue beside him, his attitude gentle, as if he would let her have her way.
Feng Chu was stunned. The legendary Venerable One was ruthless, decisive in killing, and indifferent to women.
But this is not the same as the legend.
"Madam, I will never dare to do it again. Please give me a chance." He was as arrogant as he was just now, and now he was as pathetic as he was now.
"Who are those three people who were following me? Are they from your Ghost City?"
Yun Kun was taken aback. "I truly do not know who is following Madam! However... I can send someone to investigate."
Yun Kun immediately sent people to thoroughly investigate the matter. Soon, the guards returned, saying, "It was Miss Shiyun from the Medicine Pavilion who sent people to follow us."
Shi Yun? Liu Yue's mind conjured up the image of Shi Yun. So it was her?
Just then.
A guard's voice rang out from outside the hall.
"Miss Shiyun from the Medicine Pavilion requests an audience."
“Shiyun?” Liuyue glanced at Yinming, then turned and walked behind the screen.
Soon, Shiyun hurriedly entered the main hall.
Yun Kun was in so much pain he felt like he was about to die.
The main hall was dimly lit, and Shi Yun did not notice Yun Kun's pale face: "Lord Ghost King, where is that girl now?"
"Which girl are you talking about?" Yun Kun asked, feigning nonchalance.
"The girl who killed someone in the Ghost Market," Shi Yun said anxiously, "I beg the Ghost King to spare her life; it's all a misunderstanding."
If that girl dies, the hard-won clues will be lost again, and this is the only hope of finding the young lady.
"Miss Shiyun."
Upon hearing the voice, Shi Yun looked in surprise, "You..."
"We have no past grievances or recent feuds, and our transaction was a simple exchange of money and goods. Isn't it rather unethical of you to send someone to follow me?"
Liu Yue stepped out from behind the screen. If Shi Yun hadn't sent people to follow her, none of this trouble would have happened.
Shiyun was stunned. She had thought that Liuyue must have been captured by the people of Ghost City. The scenes in Ghost City just now flashed through her mind. She had left in a hurry and hadn't paid attention to them.
But now that I think about it, when has the ghost town ever been this chaotic?
The hall was filled with the stench of blood.
Shi Yun, being from the Xiahou family, was a worldly person, and only lost her composure in her panic.
“Young lady, it is true that I sent someone to follow you, but I meant no harm. I just wanted to know why you have the Spirit Gathering Elixir.”
Shi Yun's sincere demeanor seemed genuine. Before Jun Liuyue's bottle of Spirit Gathering Elixir appeared, only the Xiahou family possessed two bottles, and they were the only two bottles in the entire Canglan Continent.
In the entire Canglan, only Xiahou Ya is capable of refining the Spirit Gathering Elixir.
Shi Yun explained, "I don't suspect you of stealing this medicine. It's just that only my young lady knows how to make this medicine. My young lady has been missing for five years. So when I saw a medicine that looked exactly like the one my young lady made, I was very surprised."
"I was convinced you knew my young lady, so I sent someone to follow you. I apologize for this abruptness."
A hint of anticipation appeared in Shiyun's eyes.
"Your young lady?" Liu Yue raised an eyebrow. This Spirit Gathering Elixir was her original creation from her previous life, using the simplest medicinal materials to refine the most effective elixir.
In its previous life, it sold out immediately upon its release in the Nine Provinces.
“Not bad.” Shiyun looked at Liuyue expectantly.
Unfortunately, Liu Yue simply shook her head: "I don't know who your young lady is."
"But the recipe for the Spirit Gathering Elixir..."
"I don't need to tell Miss Shiyun about this, do I?"
Shi Yun's face froze. "Miss, I know there must be something you can't say, but if you know where my young lady is, please tell me."
As she spoke, Shiyun took out a portrait. "This is my young lady! She has been missing for five years and is exactly twenty years old this year."
The woman in the portrait is wearing a green dress, has a baby face, and a mole at the corner of her eye.
When Liu Yue saw the portrait, a scene flashed through her mind like lightning, but it disappeared before she could see it clearly.
She shook her head: "I have never seen it."
"Could it be... that my young lady is truly gone forever?" Shiyun lowered her eyes and sighed. Five years have passed.
Five years! How many five-year periods does a person have? If we can't find it now... I'm afraid we'll never find it again.
"Madam, the truth has come out. Can you spare my life?" Yun Kun said weakly. Before he fainted from the pain each time, he would pinch himself hard.
If he faints at this moment, he may never wake up again!
"Um."
Liu Yue gave a soft "hmm": "Also, don't call me Madam."
Just as Yun Kun was about to speak, a chill enveloped him.
Yun Kun: "Yes, madam."
Jun Liuyue: ...
Is this person mentally unstable?
She glanced at Yin Ming.
Yin Ming looked completely innocent, as if to say, "I didn't do it."
Liu Yue was amused by Yin Ming's appearance. Who could connect this seemingly harmless and innocent young man with the devilishly handsome man chained up when they first met?
"The smell of blood here is too strong; I don't like it."
“Let’s go.” Yin Ming naturally took the girl’s hand.
When Liu Yue felt her hand being held in the man's palm, she paused. If a man had dared to touch her hand in her past life, she would have definitely beaten him up.
But ever since Yin Ming came to her side, he has held her hand countless times.
He even squeezed in to sleep with her at night. Although he didn't do anything, it was because Yin Ming was around and there was a gathering of spiritual energy that Liu Yue turned a blind eye.
But now Liu Yue suddenly realized that she didn't actually dislike this man's touch.
Has she been bewitched? Or has she been blinded by lust?
After Yin Ming and Liu Yue left, Shi Yun finally figured out what had happened. To her surprise, this little girl's identity was something that even the mighty Ghost King feared.
Behind the Ghost Market lies the Ghost Palace, a legendary palace that maintains neutrality regardless of which power it faces.
Even the powerful families dare not openly provoke the Ghost Palace.
Even though she was a member of the Xiahou family, she still had to follow the rules in the Ghost Market. Yet, in front of that little girl, the Ghost King acted like a mouse before a cat.
Shiyun dared not imagine her identity. If her young lady were hidden or imprisoned by such a person, even if the Xiahou family intervened, they might not be able to rescue her safely.
