Since the Elders wanted to observe the Hunter District for a while longer, Ye Lan sent some medicine, allowing them to disguise themselves and brainwash the kidnapped Hunter District Boss. Currently, all of them have transformed into bodyguards, following the Boss openly, and have also learned a lot of information about the black market.
It turns out that the black market in the Hunter region is not nowhere to be found, but has always been very active and is known as the "ghost market" among the people.
If the black market is to open on a large scale, it must be under the control of those in power in the Hunter District. Except for some buyers with fixed identities, ordinary people are not allowed to enter.
So if Xiao Yunting intervened, the target would be too big and he wouldn't be able to find anything.
On the contrary, Ye Lan's title as an entertainer in the entertainment industry is high-profile but not ostentatious. After learning that this local Northwest tour group has special means of entering the black market, they disguised themselves as a big star and her low-key rich second-generation boyfriend and followed the car halfway.
After paying 500 yuan and successfully obtaining admission, the tour guide led everyone who had been wandering around for a day back to the nearby hotel.
When getting off the car, many people looked at the luxurious hotel in front of them and complimented the two people walking on the side.
"Thanks to Mr. Yun, we were able to stay in a five-star hotel for free. The cost of this night's accommodation is almost as much as the tour group's money."
"Yes, yes, Miss Ye is really beautiful and kind-hearted. She has found such a good boyfriend too. They are a perfect match."
…
Everyone was talking at once, with a certain sincerity on their faces. After all, it was a rare opportunity to stay in such a good hotel during an affordable trip.
Hearing this, Ye Lan tilted her head slightly, showing the good manners of a star, and said with a smile: "Everyone, you're welcome. It's mainly because high-end hotels are more confidential. I also hope that everyone will not spread the news. Let us enjoy our own world."
She has a delicate appearance, and if she is a little more approachable, she will be able to win people's favor.
After he finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement hurriedly. After a day and a night passed, he only excitedly told relatives and friends about meeting a celebrity, and did not post any news about Ye Lan on the social media platforms.
Everyone entered the hotel and returned to their rooms.
As soon as the door was closed, Xiao Yunting went to the bathroom.
Looking at his back, which looked as if he was covered in bacteria and would suffocate if he stayed for another second, Ye Lan couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips slightly, feeling a little amused.
After the person came out of the bathroom, she took her clothes and walked over, saying calmly, "Mysophobia is a mental illness and needs treatment, Mr. Xiao."
Behind the cold voice, there is a strong sense of playfulness.
Xiao Yunting even briefly combed his half-wet hair. Upon hearing this, he grabbed the wrist of the girl who was about to pass by him, pressed her against the bathroom door, and kissed her deeply. Then, in a deep voice, he warned, "Things are different now. There's a price to pay for getting angry with me."
This reminded Ye Lan of the time when they first met. For some reason, she, who was usually cold and distant towards others, found this person interesting and wanted to tease him. Every time she felt the other person's silence over the phone, she couldn't help but feel happy.
Unexpectedly, in just a few months, they had developed into the relationship they are today.
"I haven't taken a shower yet, and I'm covered in dust. How's your mysophobia?" Ye Lan tapped his chest, indicating to him that he had also been walking on the windy and dusty northwest streets for a whole day.
However, Xiao Yunting remained calm, showing no intention of letting her go. Instead, his thin lips lingered on her cheek, kissing her gently while saying, "It doesn't matter to you."
As he said this, he turned back to her lips and even put his arms around her waist to lift her off the ground.
Feeling that after the acupuncture had combed the meridians, the man's qi and blood began to flow downward and became extremely agitated, Ye Lan reached out in time to stop him.
"I didn't expect you to have selective mysophobia." She chuckled and moved his face away with her hand, reminding him, "I'm going to take a shower."
Upon hearing the voice, Xiao Yunting sighed barely audibly in her ear, then put her down and went into the compartment of the presidential suite to handle official business.
Ye Lan looked at the man who was always cold and reserved, and saw a rare hint of anger in his steps, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
This person probably thought he was taking revenge for being rejected in dual cultivation last time.
But in fact, Ye Lan gave up the idea of dual cultivation because she couldn't figure out the problem with the man during the last acupuncture session.
She was unsure about the impact of dual cultivation on Xiao Yunting's practice of the Hun Tian Dao...
At this time, in the partitioned study.
"Well, the black market will be held as usual. Xuanzong's people don't need to worry about it. Just keep an eye on the market tonight."
Xiao Yunting looked down at the company documents sent by Flash while listening to the video report on the progress of the Hunter District meeting.
It is not easy to balance multiple identities and official duties, so changing the hotel address is not entirely due to mysophobia, but also to make it easier for subordinates to deliver documents.
"Boss, we just got the latest news from Peach Blossom Island. Several prisoners confessed that they came to the island because they heard there were elixirs of immortality there, and they wanted to find them. Huang Weiren also admitted that six months ago, someone suggested to him that they create a gimmick to attract outsiders to the island, so as to deal with the Wu family who were waiting in the wings."
Hearing this, Xiao Yunting paused in browsing the paper. His cold brows raised for a moment, and a terrifying sense of oppression came over him.
"Half a year ago? Where are the people who came into contact with Huang Weiren?"
"No, that memory was erased using the methods of the Pharmacist Sect." The assistant said with a slight hesitation, "It's not ruled out that the Wu family did it."
"They don't have the brains." Xiao Yunting commented openly on the Wu family father and son. If they had the intelligence to plan ahead, they wouldn't have been trapped on Feitian Ferry for so many years. "Change the direction of investigation. Someone is trying to divert the blame and target the Wu family."
This is definitely not due to favoritism towards Ye Lan. The whole thing has been targeting the Wu family from beginning to end.
No, perhaps it would be more accurate to say that it was targeting Feitian Ferry.
"Yes, Boss." The assistant, unsuspecting, took note and immediately produced another report. "Also, we've concluded the investigation into the Ji family's blood disease, which you asked us to investigate earlier. There's something fishy about it. As the clan that guards Feitian Ferry, the Ji family doesn't have any records of being weak. Their blood disease began after a major war in the Ancient Martial Realm hundreds of years ago, supposedly due to a further depletion of spiritual energy. But that's just one theory. The conflict with the Ancient Martial Realm at the time was with a clan of witches from ancient Europe, who fled to the vicinity of Feitian Ferry after their defeat."
Because the incident happened a long time ago, no matter how powerful the Xiao Information Network is, it can only investigate to this point, and the further clues are cut off.
"Ancient Europe." Xiao Yunting, a man who never missed a clue, immediately ordered, "Have the royal family investigate the historical archives and look into this dispute."
"Yes." The assistant took the order.
If it were someone else, it would be difficult to investigate this matter. After all, the disappearance of witches in the Middle Ages was due to the execution of witches by order of the royal family at that time. All the archives have been sealed to date, and even other countries cannot borrow these things.
Coincidentally, a few months ago, Xiao Yunting stirred up trouble in ancient Europe and took control of the royal family there for the sake of crude oil pipeline transportation. The people in power now are just puppets who were supported, and the real person in power behind the scenes is Xiao Yunting.
