Three days later, at noon.

In the lobby of *Jiang Mansion*, Ye Anping was standing in front of a slightly longer table, holding a brush and using a ruler to draw on a blank piece of paper. Beside him, Pei Lianxue was helping to grind the ink and sort out the *Shifting Eye* talismans that Ye Anping had asked the *Jiang Mansion* servants to buy from the market early in the morning.

Thud-thud---

Angry footsteps came from the door. Liang Zhu walked quickly into the house with '*Erotic Pictures of the Immortal Palace*' in his hand and threw the book in front of him.

Ye Anping glanced at the book, put the brush on the rack, looked at the resentful eyes of Liang Zhu, and asked with a sigh, "What's wrong?"

Liang Zhu's eyes twitched, as he said resentfully, "Put away this damn book of yours."

"I didn't give this book, my wife did."

?

Startled, Liang Zhu turned to look at Pei Lianxue. The shocked expression on his face seemed to say, *Good Lord, a woman with such a clean and pure appearance has this kind of book, not to mention that she actually gave it to a twelve-year-old girl to read?*

Pei Lianxue, with a bewildered look, stepped forward, put the book into her storage bag, and asked, "What's wrong with this book?"

Ye Anping smiled faintly and repeated his sister's question, "Yeah, what's wrong with this book?"

Looking at the "couple", Liang Zhu couldn't squeeze out a word for a long time. Finally, he gave them each a glare, and then said, "Nothing's wrong. I found the seller of the Shocking pills. Two thousand pills, is it enough?"

Ye Anping frowned, feeling that it was not enough.

"Just two thousand?"

"It's not a common item. There are a total of two thousand circulating on the black market."

Ye Anping thought for a moment. Then, he asked, "How much is the purchase price?"

"Twenty."

"A bit pricey... Let's keep the price down to 15. After that, if we sell it in the ***Dragon House***, we will sell it for 50."

"How to keep it down?"

"I'm not familiar with **Duchun City**'s black market. You figure it out."

Liang Zhu took a deep breath. *Do you think it's easy to talk to people on the black market?*

But he didn't say the words out loud, and after sighing, he nodded in agreement.

"I'll try."

"Good."

Liang Zhu looked at the drawing in front of Ye Anping.

Although it wasn't finished yet, but...

He narrowed his eyes and asked, "A map of the ***Dragon House***?"

"What? Is there something wrong with the drawing?"

"I don't know."

The markings were roughly distributed at some crossroads within the ***Dragon House***, or outside the compound in the restaurants, greenhouses, theater halls, and inns.

He didn't figure out what these markings meant but didn't ask.

At this time, a scar-faced man strode inside the house.

Seeing that Liang Zhu was there, he first nodded slightly in greeting, then cupped his hands to Ye Anping. "Young Master, I have found the sixty-four people you asked for. They are all old members of the ***Dragon Slayer Society***, and their cultivation levels are around the seventh or eighth level of *Qi Refining*.

"Alright, thank you for your hard work, Master Chen."

"It's no big deal." Master Chen smiled and shook his head. "Young Master, do you want to go out and take a look at them? I asked them to wait in the yard."

"Brother Liang, hold the map for me."

*Do you think I am your servant*?... Liang Zhu rolled his eyes at him, but he still raised his hand arrogantly, making the map on the table float.

The four of them walked out of the lobby together. The originally noisy ***Dragon Slayer*** congregation in the courtyard immediately fell silent and quickly formed eight rows and eight columns.

"Greetings, Young Master!!!"

Ye Anping glanced over them and took from Pei Lianxue the 128 *Shifting Eye* charms he had prepared.

With a slight wave of his sleeves, all the talismans rose into the air and landed in front of those people.

He compressed his throat, and in the voice he used to guide his sister to practice, he said solemnly, "Each of you, take two talismans and keep them with you. When the Dragons' Convention opens, place one on your chest and one on your back."

Everyone was a little confused, but they took the talismans. When they saw that it was a *Shifting Eye* talisman, they also understood that they were supposed to be standing guard.

"People in the first four rows, come and look at the map. Everyone, write down a location in order. My requirement for you is to stay in this place as long as you have nothing to do. Whether you are pretending to be an ordinary cultivator or a passerby drinking tea, you can do whatever you want. Try not to expose the existence of the *Shifting Eye* talisman."

Ye Anping looked at the people in the four back rows and continued. "As for the people in the last four rows, after the opening of the Dragons' Convention, you can just wander around the ***Dragon House*** in teams of two, no other requirements."

"Yes, sir."

"Don't you have any energy? Speak louder!"

"Yes, sir!!!"

Ye Anping relaxed his throat, then looked at Master Chen and said, "Master Chen, give these people three times the monthly salary, and also prepare some ordinary-looking clothes for them."

"Understood." Master Chen cupped his hand in response, but after hesitating for a moment, he asked, "May I ask, Young Master, what is this for?"

"It's just a small business to make some money for the ***Dragon Slayer Society***."

"But..." Master Chen looked at the map floating next to him and asked, "Young Master, this map looks like the map of the ***Dragon House***, and our people can't enter. We're talking about the ***Dragon House***..."

"We can get in."

"Young Master... you can't get in." Master Chen shook his head and explained stubbornly, "The Dragons' Convention is only open to inner disciples, and only those who have received the invitation can enter the inner palace. This..."

"Believe me, we can get in." Ye Anping patted him on the shoulder and said, "You should also be prepared. The ***Dragon House*** will invite the seven chambers of commerce in **Duchun City**, including the ***Dragon Slayer Society*** and ***Green Peak Society***, to take care of some behind-the-scenes work, such as portering and the like. At the same time, they will arrange for us to set up a store. That's a big business."

Master Chen was skeptical, but also a little surprised, and asked, "Really? The previous Conventions were..."

"Why would I lie to you... I got some inside information."

As Ye Anping said this, suddenly, two servants came over from the direction of the *Jiang Mansion* gate, restraining a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl in ragged clothes.

They made the girl kneel in front of Ye Anping, then cupped their hands and saluted the four people present.

Master Chen sized up the beggar girl and asked, "What's up with her?"

"Well..." One of the servants pointed at the woman. "This girl just suddenly came to the gate and said that she was the Young Master of the *Jiang Mansion*..."

Ye Anping slowly turned his head and looked at Liang Zhu, his eyes twitching slightly. *Really, you have found a girl?*

Liang Zhu shrugged slightly. *What difference does it make?*

"..."

After the servant spoke, there was silence in the courtyard.

Not only Master Chen was confused, but also the sixty-four people standing in rows were shocked.

Everyone thought that if you wanted to pretend to be the Young Master of their *Jiang Mansion*, you should at least check if you could be the 'young master'. After all, 'something' was missing, and two 'spheres' were added.

Ye Anping squatted down in front of the girl and asked, "Girl, you said you are the Young Master of the *Jiang Mansion*?"

The girl thought for a while and nodded desperately. "Right! I was robbed on the road and my token was taken away. I am the Young Master of the *Jiang Mansion*!"

Ye Anping turned to look at Master Chen and asked, playing dumb. "Master Chen, although it's a little disrespectful to ask this, but... During the seven years I was away practicing, is it possible that my father has strayed..."

"How could it be?!" Master Chen was stunned and quickly shook his head. "Young Master, it's clear that this person is trying to impersonate you. This kind of thing is quite common. I remember that something like this happened to the *Zhou Mansion* in **Duchun City** last year, and the scammer took away many valuable porcelain vases."

"Well..."

Ye Anping looked her up and down. Her clothes were in tatters, and there was a lot of dirt in her hair, so he said to the two servants, "Give her some steamed buns and send her away."

"Ah... yes, Young Master."

"Don't hurt her, be gentle."

The two servants looked at the woman kneeling next to them with confused expressions, and then they took her by the arms and sent her out of the *Jiang Mansion*.

After receiving the steamed buns from the servants, the woman bowed and thanked them, then turned around and ran away.
