Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 133

Chapter 133: Inquiring About the Name of the Female Demon

“Right next door?”

Fang Jin was somewhat surprised.

“What exactly happened?”

“It’s said that the Chen family did indeed book the Yunshang Inn, but two days ago, two people arrived,” Bai Qiong organized her thoughts and spoke softly.

“They wanted to stay at the inn, and after finding out that the rooms were booked, they directly attacked and seriously injured all the Chen family members. Then they left two taels of silver, informing them that they wanted to stay. So they started living in the Yunshang Inn.”

“There are indeed many dangerous people like that. The Chen family is relatively lucky. If they had encountered a Demon Sect cultivator who had no scruples, the Chen family would probably have been more than just seriously injured,” Fang Jin remarked.

“But isn’t this person too high-profile? Don’t you all advocate for peace? Isn’t he going to cause trouble sooner or later?” Fairy Lan said from the side.

Fang Jin nodded and said seriously.

“That’s true, so Junior Sister must not learn this kind of behavior.”

“Then what should we do when faced with someone booking the whole place?” Fairy Lan asked curiously.

“You can ask Junior Sister Bai Qiong about that tonight, let’s talk about serious matters,” Fang Jin didn’t dwell on these topics and continued.

“We have news about Zuo Lan, he will appear in the market tomorrow. He has released three locations where he will sell things. One is for selling information, the second is for selling spiritual medicines, and the third is for selling disciples.”

“Selling disciples, what does that mean?” Fairy Lan asked curiously.

“Does it mean he has people to sell?” Bai Qiong frowned.

“Is he the one who has been capturing people recently?”

“Not necessarily,” Fang Jin shook his head and spoke softly.

“It might be related, but it shouldn’t be a direct reference to him, otherwise, he wouldn’t be so bold. Of course, it’s also possible that I’m wrong in my guess. Maybe they are just that bold.”

“Should we split up for those three locations?” Fairy Lan asked.

“No, Zuo Lan is very powerful, and it’s too dangerous for Junior Sister to act alone,” Fang Jin didn’t hesitate and immediately refused to split up.

“I have already refined my spiritual sword, and although my strength is not as good as yours, it’s not bad,” Fairy Lan said earnestly.

“It’s not about strength, Junior Sister hasn’t been down the mountain much and lacks experience,” Bai Qiong said with a smile, shaking her head.

They were worried that this Junior Sister might cause trouble for various reasons and encounter other problems.

“Should we go to the place where they sell information, or to the place where they sell disciples?” Fairy Lan said somewhat dejectedly.

However, after a moment of thought, Fang Jin reached a conclusion:

“Let’s go to the place where they sell disciples, and combine it with Junior Sister’s ability to find people to see if we can learn about more people. Right, the Chen family also brought a piece of news, there’s been some activity near the Heavenly Lake outside the city. Perhaps we’ll discover something. If there are no more clues tomorrow, we’ll head to the Heavenly Lake.”

After talking for a while, Bai Qiong and Lan Jin planned to return to their own rooms.

Before leaving, Fang Jin seemed to remember something and reminded Fairy Lan.

“If Junior Sister sees the people next door, remember to be polite. Rashly making enemies could affect our subsequent actions.”

“I know,” Fairy Lan replied nonchalantly.

After leaving, she began to complain:

“Senior Sister, don’t you think Senior Brother is being too modest? The three of us are Golden Core cultivators. Not to mention you and Senior Brother, I could beat the strongest of the Chen family on my own.”

“Developing good habits is important, so when we go to bigger cities, we won’t have trouble adjusting,” Bai Qiong explained with a smile.

……

Early morning.

Jiang Hao woke up from his contemplation of the nameless secret manual.

Today was the day the western city market opened.

He needed to make a trip there.

While selling items, he would also look for Zuo Lan’s whereabouts.

The ultimate goal was to find the Secret Whisper Slate and see who was behind the scenes.

The person behind the scenes was probably not someone he could handle as a Golden Core completion stage cultivator.

But he hadn’t planned on dealing with it himself; Hong Yuye would likely take action.

Below Nascent Soul, he would naturally be fine.

Anything stronger was beyond his capabilities, and if he had to take action, it would be no different from courting death.

Stepping out of his room, he knocked on Hong Yuye’s door.

Creak!

The door slowly opened.

Jiang Hao saw Hong Yuye sitting by the window, looking outside.

The sun had not yet risen.

It was a good time to watch the sunrise from the window.

While making tea for Hong Yuye, the sun slowly rose, shining upon them.

“Do you need to bring anything, senior?” Jiang Hao offered a cup of tea.

“Is there a courtyard here?” Hong Yuye suddenly asked.

“Yes, there’s a fairly large courtyard in the back,” Jiang Hao nodded.

Although he didn’t know what Hong Yuye intended to do, he would try his best to accommodate.

The other party was simply too strong.

Several times, he had wanted to ask about her cultivation level, so he could have an ultimate goal.

If one day he could escape her clutches, other sects probably wouldn’t be able to do anything to him.

At that time, he would be free.

But it seemed far off.

Even if he kept mining, he didn’t know how many years it would take.

Thinking about this, Jiang Hao sighed softly in his heart.

Not to mention Hong Yuye’s cultivation level, so far she hadn’t even mentioned her name.

He had never asked either.

Hesitating, but in order not to expose himself later, he plucked up the courage to say.

“Recently, we’ve encountered many people, and there will always be those who are curious and ask about senior’s name… I wonder…”

Jiang Hao asked very tactfully, as they had indeed met many people recently who were curious.

Hearing this question, Hong Yuye’s hand, which had just grasped the teacup, paused.

She slightly raised her eyebrows and glanced at Jiang Hao.

Her eyes held a hint of amusement.

Just when Jiang Hao thought she wouldn’t answer, Hong Yuye’s pleasant voice rang out, concise and casual.

“Hong Yuye, but you can’t tell others.”

“Junior Jiang Hao,” Jiang Hao bowed respectfully.

It seemed he hadn’t introduced himself either.

Hong Yuye drank her tea, her expression calm.

“I need to use the courtyard, and by the way, help me plant some spiritual herbs.”

“What kind of spiritual herbs does senior need?” Jiang Hao asked curiously.

As for the courtyard, he understood that it meant no other people should disturb it.

It shouldn’t be difficult to speak with the people at the inn.

The main concern was the other residents.

Nowadays, most of the guests at the Yunshang Inn were cultivators, which made things much easier.

He would just need to visit each room.

A simple show of force, along with one or two spirit stones, should suffice.

If they weren’t interested in spirit stones, then he would take action.

‘After coming out, it seems I can’t keep a low profile.’

After a moment of reflection, he still had to continue helping with tasks.

“Something like the flower you have planted in your courtyard will do,” Hong Yuye said calmly.

Jiang Hao was stunned for a moment, somewhat in disbelief,

“Senior means, the one in your courtyard?”

“Is this troubling for you?”

Hong Yuye asked with a smile that was not quite a smile as she sipped her tea, looking at Jiang Hao.

Behind her smile seemed to lie an endless force, just waiting for Jiang Hao to admit difficulty so it could be unleashed.

“It’s not a problem,” Jiang Hao shook his head.

After that, he left Hong Yuye’s room.

A spiritual medicine similar to the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower?

Jiang Hao lowered his gaze, not in a hurry.

Initially, when Hong Yuye asked him to prepare Azure Red Sky, he used Red Sleeve Fragrance instead, and there was no issue.

PNow, even using Snow After Spring as a substitute, there was still no problem.

This meant that it was possible to use a lesser product in place of the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

Every time Hong Yuye mentioned something, it was always top-grade, but with his capabilities, obtaining top-grade items was impossible.

So, using a substitute that wasn’t too bad wouldn’t be too much of a hardship.

Having found the pattern, Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

He just didn’t know how many more spirit stones it would cost him.

He was going to be poor again.
