Chapter 1751: Beauty Misunderstanding

Ye Liuyun had long obtained information from the Souls of those thugs; the servitude contracts of the blue-uniform sales guides are all held at the office of the Chengzhu Fu on the third floor of the Shanghui Zhongxin.

Without those contracts, they could not leave the Shanghui Zhongxin at all.

By this afternoon, Ye Liuyun had already scouted the entire Shanghui Zhongxin.

There are over two hundred guards of the Second Realm alone, stationed throughout the Shanghui.

At the Chengzhu Fu office on the third floor, two Martial Cultivators of the Third Layer Realm are also stationed.

However, at the Shanghui headquarters in the Xuan Yuan Hall on the third floor, there is a Martial Cultivator of the Fourth Realm, whose identity Ye Liuyun does not know.

That does not even include the ordinary patrol units and the Administrators, Martial Cultivators and other elites within each Shanghui.

Therefore he also knows there is simply no way to target these Shanghui.

The forces stationed here are too strong.

A Martial Cultivator like Lan Xin, at the late stage of the First Realm, could not even hope to escape the Shanghui Zhongxin.

"Young Master Ye, please wait a moment; I'll be right back!"

Lan Xin smiled and agreed, then immediately went to procure items for Ye Liuyun.

This time her speed was indeed fast; she returned in no time.

Because Ye Liuyun's list was written in great detail.

Lan Xin handed over the items and reported to Ye Liuyun, "A total of 136,100 Divine Crystals remain; Young Master Ye, please check them!"

Lan Xin stared eagerly at Ye Liuyun, assuming that someone so knowledgeable would at least reward her with one or two thousand Divine Crystals, making her running around worthwhile.

Now all the sales guides in the Shanghui Zhongxin know that Lan Xin has served a major client.

Just by seeing her buying and selling large amounts of resources, one can tell she won't earn little.

Therefore she feels that if she doesn't earn a reward of one or two thousand Crystal Stones, it would be her own incompetence, and she would have no face to face her sisters.

Unexpectedly, after Ye Liuyun received the items, he did not claim the Divine Crystals.

"They're all yours!"

Ye Liuyun said calmly.

"Huh?"

Lan Xin was startled, thinking she had imagined it.

Giving a reward to a sales guide is not done like that.

Sales guides already earn commissions from transactions.

Having transacted so many items, Ye Liuyun could already earn at least tens of thousands of Crystal Stones.

But Ye Liuyun was about to give her over a hundred thousand Crystal Stones all at once.

Just from commissions today, she already earned the equivalent of several months' income.

If these truly belong to her, she could rest for one or two years!

Ye Liuyun smiled and said, "Miss Lan Xin, you worked so hard for my affairs; how could I not know? Take it!"

"...", at this moment Lan Xin realized it wasn't a hallucination; Ye Liuyun truly intended to give her the Crystal Stones.

"Thank you, Young Master Ye!"

Excited, Lan Xin immediately embraced Ye Liuyun and kissed him on the cheek!

Ye Liuyun's face turned bright red from her.

He had to find an excuse to push Miss Lan Xin away, saying, "Miss Lan Xin, no need to be so excited; you deserve it! But don't leave yet, I still have business!"

Miss Lan Xin also blushed a little, realizing she had been too excited.

But Ye Liuyun said it was 'deserved' and told her not to leave, so she misinterpreted his meaning.

Although she met all sorts of people here, she still kept herself chaste.

She mistakenly thought Ye Liuyun wanted her to stay as a concubine.

She glanced at Ye Liuyun; he was good-looking, young, and capable.

The important thing was, he also had money!

Miss Lan Xin also knew that in their line of work, they could not escape this fate.

Although she occasionally had physical contact with clients and sometimes acted coquettishly to attract attention, it was all to earn money to survive.

"Anyway, giving to anyone is the same; giving him the first time is fine! Maybe he'll be pleased and reward me a large sum."

"When I gather enough money to buy my freedom, I can flee far away, away from this place of trouble!"

Blushing, Lan Xin lowered her head and whispered, "I will obey your command, Young Master! May I first go bathe and change? It's still my first time... I'm a bit nervous!"

Ye Liuyun was also taken aback, but seeing her expression, he immediately realized she had misunderstood him.

So he hurried to explain, "Miss Lan Xin, don't misunderstand! I just have some matters to ask you.

Why would that money require your body!"

How could it be that just because of that little money, they want your body!

Lan Xin was so embarrassed her face turned bright red, wishing she could crawl into a crack in the ground.

Ye Liuyun also felt awkward, not knowing what to say.

The reason he was so generous in rewarding Lan Xin was to have her wholeheartedly serve him and to have her detail the local power situation for him, making it easier to find targets.

He didn't expect Lan Xin to misinterpret it as a matter of romance.

Lan Xin quickly calmed down, having experienced many things.

"Sorry, Young Master Ye, I misunderstood you! Would you look down on me because of that? Actually I'm not that easy woman, but sometimes I have to be open to accommodate clients."

Lan Xin explained to Ye Liuyun, fearing he might misunderstand and no longer let her follow Ye Liuyun.

Actually I'm truly not that kind of casual woman; it's just that sometimes, to deal with guests, I have to be a bit more open.

Lan Xin explained to Ye Liuyun, fearing that he might misunderstand, and said she would no longer let her follow Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun is going to stay here for a month; he has plenty of money‑making opportunities.

For Lan Xin, Ye Liuyun has no other thoughts, which is actually better.

"Hmm, I understand how hard it is for you!"

Ye Liuyun also said.

In fact, he isn't particularly concerned about Lan Xin; like Lan Xin, he is only after more resources.

After the atmosphere between the two eased a bit, Lan Xin proactively asked Ye Liuyun: "Young Master Ye, you said earlier you had something to ask me?"

"Ask away; as long as I know it, I'll definitely tell you!"

Ye Liuyun immediately took out the map of Jinmen Guan and began inquiring about each faction's situation.

Although Lan Xin has never been to Shanghui Zhongxin, Lan Xin knows the distribution of forces here like the back of a hand— which factions are where, their strength, and even some specific individuals, Lan Xin can recite them all.

Lan Xin can even detail, one by one, the outlaw groups outside the city and where the ferocious beasts are, telling him.

Ye Liuyun, while listening, also made detailed markings on the map.

Lan Xin also vaguely sensed that Ye Liuyun's plans were not small.

However, due to Lan Xin's professional habit, Lan Xin would not inquire what Ye Liuyun intends to do.

Even if Ye Liuyun were to overturn Jinmen Guan, it wouldn't be Lan Xin's concern.

Lan Xin would absolutely not leak Ye Liuyun's information to anyone.

That would more easily invite a death‑bringing disaster.

After Ye Liuyun gathered all the information, he let Lan Xin leave.

And they also didn't tell Ye Liuyun not to disseminate it; presumably Lan Xin understands the rules.
