462: A helpless transaction

The two people who visited the study late at night were none other than Dragon Cloudfrost and her elder brother, Dragon Yunting.

After Zhou Luo's words fell, the two simultaneously pulled off the hoods of their black robes, revealing their true faces.

Dragon Cloudfrost was as indifferent as she had been back then, like an iceberg, exuding a chilling aura.

The man beside her, however, had a handsome face with sharp features and deep eyes like the sea, but his complexion was also pale, his aura weak, and even a layer of brownish light appeared in his pupils.

The other party was poisoned, and deeply so, which had already severely affected his vision.

No one expected that these two, who were being hunted everywhere by the Ninth Prince Long Yu and even attacked in the Azure Origin Sect, would appear here tonight.

Once this matter gets out, the entire Zhou Residence will likely be thrown into chaos.

This was also the reason why Zhou Luo revealed a bitter smile after seeing the other party.

At this moment, the two were no different from a ticking time bomb. If Long Yu found out, the entire Zhou Residence could be razed to the ground.

"We need to stay for a month."

Without answering Zhou Luo's question, Dragon Cloudfrost said straightforwardly.

She and her elder brother had been hiding here and there, but had never been able to escape the enemy's pursuit. Now, the poison in her elder brother could no longer withstand any more hardship, so they had to find a place to stay and detoxify.

After much thought, she finally took the risk and came here.

As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. Long Yu must have set up many informants in the Immortal City to guard against them, and he probably wouldn't think they would return here again.

As for why they didn't go to Tianxia Tavern, it wasn't that they didn't trust Golden Shopkeeper, but mainly because that place was bound to be under strict surveillance, and the risk of exposure there was too great.

"Manager Long, I really don't have the ability to take you in, let alone aren't you worried that I might turn you in?" Zhou Luo said helplessly.

These two important figures were not someone his small Zhou Residence could accommodate.

Furthermore, how could he possibly gain the other party's trust? If even a hint of wind got out, not to mention himself, even his wives, concubines, and children would be in danger. Therefore, he couldn't take the risk and could only politely refuse.

"I believe you." Dragon Cloudfrost stared at him and said with great seriousness.

Based on her understanding of Zhou Luo, she knew that his character wouldn't do such a risky thing.

Because although they were at the end of their rope, they weren't unarmed, so the other party definitely wouldn't dare to gamble.

What's more, for some unknown reason, when she chose to return to Qingyuan City back then, the first person she thought of was Zhou Luo.

When Zhou Luo heard this, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly wanted to curse in his heart.

Because he knew why the other party was so certain.

It must be because of the influence of the Deep Affection Gu.

Back then, in order to gain the other party's favor, he deliberately had them take the Deep Affection Gu while healing, thereby increasing their favorability.

He didn't expect that now, because of this favorability, the other party would choose to come to him for refuge.

For a moment, Zhou Luo felt endless regret in his heart.

But just as Dragon Cloudfrost understood, he couldn't guarantee that these two siblings didn't have other trump cards. If he easily handed them over, he might be killed by these two before Long Yu's people even arrived.

Even if he had a Golden Core puppet on him, he wasn't very confident.

Especially since Dragon Yunting himself was in the Golden Core Realm, even if poisoned, he still couldn't be underestimated.

After all, being a direct descendant of the Princes Mansion, they must have come here with something to rely on.

After thinking it over, Zhou Luo knew that he really had no choice and could only be forced to accept.

His gaze lingered between the two, and finally he said, "I can provide you with a place to stay, but can you guarantee that Long Yu won't find out?"

The most crucial thing right now was whether the two's whereabouts had been exposed.

Hearing this, Dragon Cloudfrost said with a serious expression, "The robe we are wearing is a High Grade Spiritual Artifact. As long as we don't use Spiritual Power, it can perfectly shield our aura."

"I can only guarantee that absolutely no one discovered us along the way."

It was precisely by relying on these two Spiritual Artifacts that they were able to repeatedly evade the other party's attacks and conceal their whereabouts.

It was just that they couldn't possibly not use any Spiritual Power along the way, especially when healing, they had to use it.

So this thing could only last for a while at most.

This was also the reason why she chose to knock on the door to call Zhou Luo when she entered the Zhou Residence earlier.

Hearing the two words "Spiritual Artifact", Zhou Luo's eyes lit up, and his gaze fell on the black robe, unable to move away.

The Princes Mansion indeed had profound foundations, casually producing two High Grade Spiritual Artifacts.

This was a High Grade Spiritual Artifact; even a Golden Core True Person couldn't probe it.

No wonder he hadn't found anything earlier.

If he could obtain one, his safety would be greatly guaranteed.

Seeing Zhou Luo's subtle change in expression, before Dragon Cloudfrost could speak, Dragon Yunting's weak voice slowly sounded, "After this matter is over, I can give you this robe."

On the way, he heard his sister say that Zhou Luo was very cautious in his actions and also a profit-seeking fellow. As long as the benefits were great enough, he was a trustworthy person.

This kind of person was the easiest to deal with.

Zhou Luo's heart trembled, and a smile appeared on his face: "Then I thank True Person very much."

Since things had come to this, he couldn't drive the two away. He might as well take this opportunity to get some benefits.

If he could really get this High Grade Spiritual Artifact, that would be even better.

He said enthusiastically, "You can tell me what detoxification Materials you need, and I'll help you find them, but you cannot leave this Zhou Residence."

After speaking, he also took out a jade bottle from his embrace, which contained some Second Order healing Pills, and directly handed it to the other party.

Dragon Cloudfrost looked at the jade bottle, her eyes flashed, and she silently put it away.

"I believe you are a smart person. If you really make a wrong choice, don't blame us," she reminded.

If Zhou Luo really were to inform Long Yu of this matter, she would definitely kill the other party at all costs.

Zhou Luo nodded: "Don't worry, I know you still have people at the tavern."

Golden Shopkeeper's earlier reminder let him know that this pair of siblings was far from as weak as he had imagined; at least at the tavern, they definitely had many people.

Immediately, he settled the two in the secret chamber where Lin Xi had previously been in seclusion.

"If you need anything, just contact me through a communication talisman." Zhou Luo prepared some medicinal herbs and Pills for the two.

Immediately, he said to Dragon Cloudfrost, "Manager Long, I have some things I want to ask you. Can you come out for a moment?"

Dragon Cloudfrost did not refuse.

She followed Zhou Luo outside.

Zhou Luo no longer concealed anything and said directly, "Are you planning to hide for the rest of your lives?"

He wanted to know what the two planned to do next. If they were just using this place as a temporary stop and would continue to flee in the future.

Then he would have to consider whether to continue opposing Long Yu, who had already become the Ninth Prince.

Now that the Azure Origin Sect had achieved a great victory, his previous worries were completely gone.

If the other party found out later that he had once taken them in, it would definitely bring disaster again.

This was something he had to consider.

Dragon Cloudfrost looked at his serious expression and said, "I know what you are worried about. We won't just sit and wait for death..."
