Sigh... I can't win them over.
Lin Shanwu couldn't help but wonder if his celestial beauty had failed him, or if Jin Shangyue was blind and heartless.
Regardless of what complaints he might have in his heart, Lin Shanwu maintained a bright and affectionate smile on his face.
"Of course, of course. I wonder if it would be acceptable to use the invitation to the joint auction held by the Nine Divine Abysses as payment for the viewing and learning experience?"
Jin Shangyue paused for a moment, then looked Lin Shanwu up and down.
His features were handsome and aloof, his aura refined and elegant, and his bright, sly smile dispelled any sense of coldness or unapproachability.
Although she was dressed in modern white casual wear, she gave the illusion of wearing an ethereal ancient costume.
His entire demeanor and behavior, emanating from within, resembled that of a noble and elegant prince or nobleman from a fantasy world, who adhered to strict etiquette.
However, the Nine Assemblies of the Divine Abyss are a rising force of interstellar civilization, and their cultivation follows the path of the God of Technology.
Lin Shanwu is a disciple of a cultivation sect who follows the path of fantasy gods.
The two are completely unrelated, so how could he have an invitation to the Divine Abyss Nine Gathering?
Or is it that, besides being the Heavenly Physician of the Immortal Physician Sect, he has another hidden identity?
Lin Shanwu openly allowed Jin Shangyue to look him over, and said with a smile: "The joint auction of the Nine Divine Abysses has always only invited royal families of the world's top countries, military and political nobles with real power, and top families that have formed their own forces."
"As the ruling family of the Fifth Legion of the Dragon Martial Empire, the Yu family can also receive an invitation, but only one person can attend with each invitation."
"It was by chance that I received two invitations. I happened to have done a small favor for someone in charge of the Nine Association."
Lin Shanwu leaned closer and smiled sweetly: "Such an expensive invitation, wouldn't it be very sincere and generous of me to give one to Miss Shangyue? Wouldn't that make me a very suitable good friend for you?"
Meeting Lin Shanwu's expectant gaze, Jin Shangyue didn't think he was overly scheming.
They've blatantly laid out their intention to take a loss, which is far better than those who try to get something for nothing.
Besides, she wouldn't mind having more schemes that would benefit her.
Jin Shangyue smiled and said, "Indeed, having such a generous friend like you is a great deal."
Lin Shanwu's eyes lit up, and her smile became even brighter and sweeter: "Having such a capable friend as Yueyue, I'm not at a loss."
A subtle, unspoken understanding slowly permeated the car.
In the front cockpit, Li Feng witnessed firsthand the entire process of their treacherous collusion and swift, mutually beneficial transaction, and was utterly astonished.
Some found Lin Shanwu's grand gesture incredible.
Some were also amazed by Jin Shangyue's far-sightedness in seizing the opportunity.
Leaving aside why Lin Shanwu would use such significant benefits to befriend Jin Shangyue.
Take Jin Shangyue for example. Not only did she receive an invitation to the Nine Gatherings of the Divine Abyss, but she also became friends with Lin Tianyi, gaining a great help.
It's a sure thing, a huge victory!
The Yu family mansion is a combination of modern interstellar technology and ancient courtyard house.
It possesses both the grandeur of an ancient royal mansion and the powerful convenience of interstellar technology.
Xuguang Courtyard was indeed as the old man had said—large, beautiful, and with stunning scenery. It was also far from the Yu family's residential area, making it a relatively independent area.
Steward Li slowed down the flying car so that Jin Shangyue could get a good look at the entire structure of Xuguang Courtyard below.
After completing the sightseeing tour, Jin Shangyue nodded in satisfaction.
"This place is quite nice. If you change the signboard at the entrance, you can change it to 'Mirror Flower Water Moon'."
Steward Li respectfully replied, "Yes, Miss Yue."
Jin Shangyue had specifically reminded him beforehand to call her Miss Yue, and since the old master and the head of the family did not object, Steward Li naturally complied.
Chief Steward Li is the head steward of the Yu family, and he only obeys and is loyal to the head of the family.
This is why Yu Han arranged for Steward Li to personally manage Jin Shangyue's life, so that no one would make Jin Shangyue unhappy.
Upon arriving at the main courtyard, Jin Shangyue said, "The third floor of the main building will be opened up and transformed into a study and a multi-functional laboratory."
"Use Building No. 2 on the left as an alchemy room. Please arrange all the necessary items for me."
"The flower field behind the main building has been completely demolished and replaced with a medicinal herb garden. The area next to it has been converted into an orchard. It will be left empty for now, and I will plant my own fruit trees."
As Jin Shangyue walked along, she pointed out the areas that needed improvement, and Steward Li listened attentively, taking notes with his personal computer.
Lin Shanwu followed leisurely behind the two, listening with great interest.
After everything was planned out, Steward Li said respectfully.
"Miss Yue must be tired from your journey back. You can rest for a while. I'll have someone set up the pharmacy this afternoon for your use."
"If you have any needs during the development of the antidote, Miss Yue, you can ask me to procure them."
"Okay." Jin Shangyue replied. She also needed time to learn more about the civilization and information of this world.
Seeing that there was nothing else to do with Jin Shangyue, Steward Li looked at Lin Shanwu with a gentle and polite smile on his face.
"Doctor Lin, shall I take you to the VIP lounge to rest?"
Lin Shanwu waved his hand casually: "No need for that trouble. There are guest rooms here, Yueyue. I can rest here as well."
"By the way, could you please help me move my luggage from the VIP courtyard over? I'll be staying here with Yueyue from now on, so I can accompany her to watch her develop the antidote."
“This…” Steward Li looked at Jin Shangyue. It was not impossible, but the owner of the mansion needed to agree.
The Yu family mansion was enormous; each master's residence was equivalent to a huge, independent estate.
The layout and facilities inside are indeed very complete.
It has everything: a lobby for entertaining guests, entertainment venues, guest rooms, and more.
This was also to make it convenient for the Yu family members to entertain their own friends.
Unless someone is a VIP of the entire Yu family, like Lin Shanwu, they will be arranged to stay in the Yu family's exclusive VIP reception building.
Jinshangyue didn't care; the area was so big, with so many buildings, she could stay anywhere.
"Then arrange it for him. The outermost building will be used as a guesthouse from now on."
"Yes, Miss Yue."
"Please wait a moment, Dr. Lin. I will have someone make the arrangements immediately."
Jin Shangyue and Lin Shanwu sat and rested on the viewing platform, while Steward Li led people to tidy up and arrange the rooms.
Seeing that no one was around, Lin Shanwu took out a semi-transparent crystal card and gave it to Jin Shangyue.
"This is the invitation to the Divine Abyss Nine-Gathering Auction. Yueyue, you must keep it safe. Insert it into your personal computer and connect it to your mental sea to view the contents of the invitation."
Jin Shangyue accepted the crystal card. The crystal card was very beautiful, like a shining galaxy, and contained a pure energy. It was clearly made of energy stone.
Based on the energy contained in this crystal card alone, it would be worth at least several billion if sold.
It has to be said that Shenyuan Jiuhui really went all out, even making such an expensive invitation.
