She subconsciously said, "My family is considered quite influential in the Central Plains. If they make things difficult for you..."
Before she could finish speaking, Li Qingrong froze.
Why is she worrying about this?
Even if it's difficult, it's Jiang Yuetong who's making things difficult for others.
Hearing her righteous words, Jiang Yuetong gave Li Qingrong a deep look and smiled, "Don't worry, I'll need your help sometimes."
The two exchanged a glance, then walked out of the room and headed towards the Central Plains. Lü Jingliang, who was leaning against the railing outside the door, slowly turned around when he heard the noise.
He raised a thick eyebrow slightly: "All done?"
Jiang Yuetong turned her face away and snorted.
Li Qingrong, who was following closely behind, looked back and forth between the two of them with a scrutinizing gaze. When she saw that Jiang Yuetong ignored her and turned to go downstairs, Li Qingrong quickly followed after her.
"What's wrong? You've only been together for a short time and you're already arguing?" Li Qingrong leaned closer and asked in a low voice.
Jiang Yuetong shook her head slightly and said casually, "No, I just don't want to talk to him yet."
Li Qingrong: "..."
Isn't that just arguing?
Jiang Yuetong didn't care what she thought. She secretly sent a message to Qingfeng, who was still in the Central Plains, telling him not to contact the people from the General's Mansion anymore. If they needed anything, they could just send someone over.
And investigate what's on the auction list.
Upon receiving the news, Qingfeng immediately led the elites who had followed him away.
...
Seven days later, in the imperial city of the Wu Tian Empire.
The bustling street was crowded with people, almost causing Jiang Yuetong and her companions to get separated. All they could hear was the noise around them, and Li Qingrong couldn't hear anything she was trying to say.
Finally, Li Qingrong used a talisman to send a message.
"I heard that this auction not only has Ghost Roots, but also monster cubs captured in the Wanchuan Forest, as well as mysterious and powerful mermaids, which is why it has attracted so many people to come and see it."
Jiang Yuetong raised her pretty eyebrows. She had received the message from Qingfeng several days ago.
There are indeed mermaids on the auction list.
"Perfect, we can see for ourselves." Jiang Yuetong used a talisman to send a message back.
Li Qingrong, who was standing next to her, smiled and nodded.
Following closely behind them, Lu Jingliang watched their interaction and was so jealous he almost ground his teeth to powder.
Since the auction wouldn't start for another two days, Jiang Yuetong and her companions needed to find an inn to stay in first. After searching for an entire afternoon, they discovered that many inns were already fully booked.
Just when Li Qingrong thought they would have to sleep on the streets, Jiang Yuetong gritted her teeth and led her to a lavishly decorated, brightly lit inn.
From the outside, there are relatively few people inside, and the decoration is more in the style of the Western Regions. Inside, people are singing and dancing, having a great time.
It was different from other inns.
Jiang Yuetong glanced at the room, stepped inside, and said in a calm voice, "Three rooms."
The man dressed as a shopkeeper, with his legs crossed and without looking up, said, "Ten thousand per person per night!"
Upon hearing this, Li Qingrong was almost speechless with shock.
As the legitimate daughter of a marquis, she considered herself to be well-off and worldly-wise, but she was truly shocked by this price.
"Why don't you just rob it?!"
The innkeeper stretched and yawned, saying, "We offer services here. If you think it's too expensive, then don't stay here. It's much better to live a simple life outside, where you can fill your stomach with a sip of the northwest wind when you're hungry."
Li Qingrong: "..."
I've never seen such an arrogant shopkeeper.
She had lived here for so many years and had no idea that there was such a shady inn in the Martial Heaven Empire.
A pale purple spiritual energy flew out and slapped the shopkeeper hard across the mouth.
