The directors of Dayuan Bank are second only to the head manager. Although they may not seem as prestigious as Qin Mo's personal guards, they have all received personal guidance from Qin Mo, so their status is no lower than Qin Mo's.
"I came to the capital to check on my business, but I heard some rumors that I don't know if they're true or false, so I came to ask you for information!"
"Your Highness, please speak. Qing Ning will not hide anything she knows!"
Qing Ning sat up straight. Although she didn't get along with Qin Mo on the surface, her attitude towards Qin Mo had already changed. There were very few people who dared to stand up for women like her against His Majesty.
"I've heard that the imperial palace is holding a series of selections for female concubines, and they're all female cultivators. Is that true?"
"To be honest, Your Highness, this is indeed the case, but this time it's not the usual 'selection' of young ladies. Instead, an imperial edict was issued to summon them into the palace, which is almost the same as forcibly taking women from the common people!"
"...Why is that? Could it be that he really slept with ten women in one night for the sake of having offspring?"
Qing Ning blushed. As Wang Yushi's confidante, she could glean some inside information from snippets of conversation. Although she didn't know the most crucial details, she knew far more than others.
"He seems to have aged a bit... He seems to be practicing dual cultivation techniques, but that's all I know!"
Qin Mo felt a sense of balance. He had once been very confident in his abilities in a certain area, but he really couldn't kill seven birds with one stone. On that rainy night, Wang Yushi almost overwhelmed him.
It wasn't just his body that was failing, but also his heart. He secretly drank a sip of the Fountain of Life and tried it on Heather and Shia, but the effect wasn't great. He thought he was really no match for that loser, Emperor Zhaowu! Little did he know that Emperor Zhaowu had already ruined his kidneys.
If you take Viagra when you don't have kidney tonic, you deserve to lose money!
"Qing Ning, could you please send a message to your patriarch? I want to see her!"
"You want to see me? I happen to have something to ask you too!"
As soon as Qin Mo finished speaking, she saw another person in the room. Dressed in a red palace gown that accentuated her beautiful figure, it was Wang Yushi who had arrived.
How did you know I had come to Tianxiang Tower?
Wang Yushi waved her hand, and Qing Ning immediately withdrew.
The beautiful woman sat down and, with effortless grace, brewed a pot of tea, poured a cup, and handed it to Qin Mo. Her gentle and considerate manner stirred Qin Mo's heart... Oh, the swoon!
"I left a mark on you, and as long as you're not too far away, you can always sense it."
Qin Mo was immediately startled. He no longer held back from Wang Yushi. He stood up and touched himself all over, trying to figure out what kind of mark it was.
"I can't sense it at all, Yu Shi, this is unfair of you! I have to leave a mark on you too!" Qin Mo couldn't sense anything after trying for a long time, and she immediately became unhappy. Was this some kind of satellite positioning device for catching adulterers installed on her?
"I already had your mark on me, now we're even!"
"That doesn't count. That was left behind to save you. Besides, it's useless!"
When Qin Mo first met her, he was carrying the seriously injured Wang Yushi on his back as they fled. Helpless, he used the Little Nirvana Flame to heal Wang Yushi's shattered dantian, but it burned a palm print mark on the dantian area of her stomach.
The mark left by Little Nirvana was very stubborn. Even after Wang Yushi drank the Fountain of Life, it was not completely removed. The faint pink lines fascinated and excited Qin Mo on that rainy night.
"It didn't work... Hmph!"
Wang Yushi snorted coldly and ignored Qin Mo. Only she knew that ever since that palm print was branded three inches below her navel, the ill-fated relationship between the two of them was destined.
