Chapter 27 - Xue Jingyu

"I see," Bai Rouyun was not insulted, nor was she annoyed, she just smiled.

Mo Chu was sure that she was going to use his rank as a Blue Realm pract.i.tioner to pressure them, but the next words from Bai Rouyun shocked everyone present.

"You think that a mere Thousand Treasure Pavilion will stop me? Even Xue Jingyu from s.h.i.+tian Tower would give me some respect if he were here right now."

The eyes of the floor manager turned round in shock and fear. Only the upper echelons of the cultivation world knew that the Thousand Treasure Pavilion belonged to s.h.i.+tian Tower.

Even fewer knew the name of the young master of the s.h.i.+tian Tower. Xue Jingyu preferred to be a low key and casual person. Only a few people outside of their organization knew of his name, while everyone within the entire s.h.i.+tian Tower knew of him.

This woman, however, said that even Xue Jingyu would show her respect. Who was she to say such brazen words?

The reason that Bai Rouyun dared to say such brazen words was because she had some friends.h.i.+p with Xue Jingyu before. She knew that he would not get mad at her for using his name to threaten an annoying floor manager in a small Empire.

Then again, Xue Jingyu was likely sure that she had died that day on top of the mountain. Suddenly she felt a bit sad. He was one of the few people she considered her friends before, but she had died, had he missed her?

Thinking of that, she looked at the floor manager, "fetch some paper and a brush for me," she said.

Hearing that she knew of Xue Jingyu, the manager dared not hesitate and rushed to get a brush and paper. Seeing it, a smile flickered on her attractive face, and she quickly drew a rabbit. Then she wrote on top of it, 'Brother Rabbit, Sister Fox misses you'.

Looking at the drawing and the words, no one knew what it meant, but Bai Rouyun said nothing. "Bring this to Xue Jingyu," she ordered.

Although she and Xue Jingyu were good friends, there was nothing romantic between them. In the beginning, Xue Jingyu had fallen for Bai Rouyun, but because of her personality, he quickly gave up, and they became best friends instead.

The floor manager was somewhat uncertain as to what the relations.h.i.+p between this woman and his master was, but he dared not belittle her any longer.

The Crown Prince also understood a few things from the conversation between the floor manager and this woman. First of all, was the shocking knowledge that the s.h.i.+tian Tower was behind the Thousand Treasure Pavilion.

Secondly, a significant person within the s.h.i.+tian Tower was named Xue Jingyu.

Thirdly, this woman knew of many secrets, so she was worthy of being his backer.

Paying for one slice of the Blood Ginseng was worth it if it could get her backing.

As he came to this conclusion, the Crown Prince looked at the woman with a fervent expression on his face.

"Manager Zhou, please sell her a slice of the thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng."

While all this was happening, Mo Chu was standing behind Bai Rouyun. His eyes were narrowed dangerously. How could a dumb woman know of Xue Jingyu? He knew of him because his master had encountered him a few times.

But this woman, how could she possibly know about it. It seemed that she had many secrets that were still unexposed, but he would explain this to Li Moyun in detail, when they got back home. Then his master could decide what to do with the woman.

After hearing that the Crown Prince agreed to pay, the floor manager had nothing more to say.

He instructed some of the sales a.s.sistants to find the herbs and seeds, while he himself went to pick up a slice of the thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng.

Not long after, the floor manager was back with a jade box in which the slice was placed. He was aware of the price, but when he thought of her att.i.tude, he also knew that it was nothing big for her.

Blood Ginseng was known to be one of the most common herbs in the world. The only reason it was worthy of attention was that it was a thousand-year-old herb.

Even so, it was nothing special to Bai Rouyun. In her previous life, she had once encountered ten-thousand-year-old herbs, it was nothing to see herbs of a thousand years, and she would not have paid it any mind if her little Xiao Bao wouldn't have mentioned it.

After receiving the herbs, seeds, and jade box, a smile adorned her lips, and she seemed much softer than before.

The hearts of everyone started beating rapidly; even Mo Chu was stunned by her at that moment.

"In that case, I will leave the payment to his Royal Highness," Bai Rouyun said with a smile. "I will now excuse myself."

Having said that, Bai Rouyun vanished from their sights. From the beginning, till now, it took a long time for the others to get their minds back, and when they did, Mo Chu was shocked and hurried after her. If something happened to his madam, even if she had a lot of secrets, then he would still be punished!

At the same time, the floor manager excused himself, took the drawing that Bai Rouyun had made, and hurried to the highest floor of the Thousand Treasure Pavilion to speak with the branch head.

He had to announce what had happened, not to mention only the branch head could send the drawing to the s.h.i.+tian Tower's main house and Xue Jingyu.
