Chapter 75: Volume 1, Chapter 75: This Woman Actually Really Wants to Find Someone Else
Yun Qiyue naturally wouldn't be so stupid as to think that a few pieces of snacks could bribe Jiuyuan, so when Jiuyuan asked her what benefit he would get, she wasn't surprised.
It was just that she couldn't really come up with anything that Jiuyuan would find interesting for a while.
After thinking back and forth, Yun Qiyue couldn't think of a suitable bargaining chip to exchange with Jiuyuan, so she simply threw the question back to Jiuyuan. "What benefit do you want?"
Hearing this, Ye Lanjue raised an eyebrow and looked at Yun Qiyue, his face full of displeasure. "You want this seat to think about it?"
Yun Qiyue choked.
What was wrong with letting him think about it?
As one party in the exchange of conditions, wasn't it expected for him to think about it? Only he knew what he wanted more, didn't he? It would save her from thinking for a long time and doing useless work.
Of course, the premise was that she also had what he wanted.
Seeing what Yun Qiyue was thinking, Ye Lanjue said calmly, "Since you are the one asking this seat for something, this seat naturally wants to see your sincerity."
The meaning was clear: if the sincerity wasn't enough, forget it.
Arrogant enough!
Yet, Yun Qiyue couldn't just flick her sleeves and leave.
Because she wanted to borrow the masters in Jiuyuan's hands to become stronger.
After thinking back and forth, the only thing she could take out now was something related to medicine.
But clearly, Jiuyuan wouldn't be interested.
After all, the only condition he was interested in—detoxification—had already been exchanged.
Then...
"How about this, you lend me someone, and I promise you one condition." Yun Qiyue gritted her teeth and made this promise.
A blank check or something—that was truly a big loss, because you didn't know what kind of condition the other party would propose.
But now, this was the only thing she could take out.
Ye Lanjue looked at Yun Qiyue with deep eyes. "Promise this seat one condition?"
Yun Qiyue nodded. "Yes, as long as you agree to lend me someone, I am willing to do anything for you."
Ye Lanjue frowned upon hearing this.
Anything?
Did this woman know how heavy this promise was? Was this kind of promise something that could be casually made to a man?
Was it that if he didn't agree, this woman would use this condition to find another man?
Thinking of this, Ye Lanjue's face sank even further, and the aura around him turned icy cold.
Yun Qiyue: "..."
Was Jiuyuan dissatisfied with this condition?
But even if he was dissatisfied, he could just say it directly. Why was he getting angry?
Yun Qiyue felt inexplicable, and then stood up, preparing to leave.
"Where are you going?" Ye Lanjue's cold voice sounded.
Yun Qiyue: "Going back."
She would think of another way to find a master. After all, she really couldn't think of any other conditions she could take out.
She hadn't borrowed anyone, but she was going to lose her life because she had angered Jiuyuan.
Ye Lanjue was even more displeased. "Did this seat tell you to go back?"
Damn woman, she was covered in injuries and was thinking about going back—did she not cherish her body at all?
However, just as he had this thought, he froze.
What did Yun Qiyue cherishing her body have to do with him?
When had he, Ye Lanjue, ever cared about someone like this?
Yun Qiyue looked at Jiuyuan silently. "The Pavilion Master might not know the helplessness of a weak person like me when encountering danger. Since the Pavilion Master is unwilling to lend me someone, and I cannot give up the idea of becoming stronger, if the Pavilion Master doesn't agree, I can only find someone else."
Although finding someone else might not have the same effect as finding Ye Lanjue, it was better than waiting around.
"You still want to find someone else?" This woman, she actually really wanted to find someone else?
Find who?
Ouyang Xi?
Could Ouyang Xi have his strength?
"Otherwise?" Yun Qiyue looked at Jiuyuan speechlessly.
He wasn't willing to lend her someone, and she couldn't find someone else? That made no sense.
Since she wanted to become stronger, no one could stop her, not even Jiuyuan.
Looking at Yun Qiyue, Ye Lanjue felt his anger rising again.
But finally, it turned into a sentence: "Did this seat say I wouldn't agree to you?"
Yun Qiyue: "... Uh?"
Then, Yun Qiyue widened her eyes and looked at Jiuyuan in disbelief. "You really want to agree to me? Agree to lend me a master."
Why did she have a feeling that wasn't very real?
Ye Lanjue glanced at Yun Qiyue. "Wait until your injuries are healed before talking about it."
Yun Qiyue was extremely happy, smiling brightly. "No problem."
Healing injuries or something—a day or two would be enough.
Of course, if she wanted to, she could be faster, but it wouldn't be good to appear too monstrous, would it?
No, wait!
After being happy, Yun Qiyue became suspicious again.
Could Jiuyuan be so kind? Could he agree to her conditions so easily?
"I want a master, the kind that is very, very powerful." Don't just find someone to fool her; one of her conditions was also very valuable.
Besides, since she wanted to find a master, she naturally had to find the best one. Why else would she run to the Forbidden Land of the Ghost Night Pavilion?
Ye Lanjue looked deeply at Yun Qiyue and slowly opened his lips. "Rest assured, it's the most powerful one."
Yun Qiyue: "..."
Listening to Jiuyuan's words, she always felt something was not quite right.
However, just as Yun Qiyue wanted to speak again, Jiuyuan started chasing her away. "Alright, this seat is tired."
Then, he closed his eyes, looking like he didn't want to bother with Yun Qiyue anymore.
Seeing this, Yun Qiyue had to walk out.
Anyway, someone as powerful as Jiuyuan shouldn't just find someone to give her.
After going out, Yun Qiyue prepared to walk out of the main hall, but was stopped by a ghost-masked man. "Young Lady Yun, the Pavilion Master said you should leave tomorrow."
Yun Qiyue was stunned upon hearing this and subconsciously asked: "Why?"
Mingfeng: "..." How would he know why? Could he fathom the Pavilion Master's thoughts?
But seeing Yun Qiyue looking at him with that questioning gaze, Mingfeng thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps, the Pavilion Master is worried that Young Lady Yun will encounter danger again if you go back in the middle of the night..."
Yun Qiyue: "..."
Thinking of Jiuyuan's stinky face, Yun Qiyue felt that what Mingfeng said might be nonsense.
But her own injuries were actually very painful, and she had to treat them first, so she said, "Then where do I stay?"
Afterward, Mingfeng took Yun Qiyue out of the main hall and walked to a bamboo forest.
Deep in the bamboo forest, there was a bamboo house. "Young Lady can stay here tonight."
Yun Qiyue looked at the bamboo house and nodded.
Fortunately, he didn't make her sleep on the ground in the bamboo forest.
However, Yun Qiyue, who was busy observing the wooden house, didn't see the complexity in Mingfeng's eyes.
Mingfeng felt that the Master had truly placed Young Lady Yun in his heart; otherwise, why would he let Young Lady Yun come to this bamboo house?
You know, this bamboo house was built by the Master himself, and ordinary people couldn't even get close, let alone live in it.
Sure enough, Young Lady Yun was different in the Master's heart.
Yun Qiyue didn't know Mingfeng's thoughts and stayed in this small bamboo house.
But she didn't know that her staying here had fallen into someone's trap... ===== CHAPTER 76 =====
