312: Brother Lin is the best in the world!
Xu Sanyan pushed open the door again and entered the room. With the current situation unclear, he decided to observe for a while and not show himself for now.
The girl on the bed was still in a deep sleep, her clothes already disheveled, and her hair soaked with sweat, as if she had just been pulled out of the water.
Xu Sanyan thought for a moment, took out a dozen Spirit Stones from his Storage Pouch, threw them onto the bed, then pushed open the window and flew away, disappearing into the darkness of the night.
Unless absolutely necessary, he generally wouldn't take advantage of such situations for free. To do so would mean his character was too poor, wouldn't it?
As for the last time in Ghost City, that was for a reason; their prices were simply too exorbitant, a clear case of fleecing customers.
Not long after Xu Sanyan left, four people pushed open the door with a loud "bang." The girl instantly woke up, looking at the four people in front of her with a bewildered expression, unaware of what had happened.
Seeing no one in the room, Wang Qingyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. A man next to her questioned the girl, "Where is he?"
"Who?" The girl was still confused.
"The person you just served."
"I don't know..."
The girl's heart skipped a beat. Oh no, he hadn't paid yet. Just as she was about to get up, she saw a dozen Spirit Stones scattered at the corner of the bed. Her surprise immediately turned to joy; at least her efforts weren't in vain.
The man looked at the open window and said with hidden resentment, "Damn it, that kid ran fast. Chase him!"
With that, he flew out the window, followed closely by the other two men.
Wang Qingyu's cold face held a hint of disdain as she looked at the girl, her gaze sweeping up and down. Then she scoffed, curling her lips. Was this kind of goods even worthy of serving the same person as her?
She then stopped looking at her, leaped into the night, and chased after the three men.
The girl silently put on her clothes, feeling her body weak as if it were about to fall apart, and even her lower body ached a little. But fortunately, her earnings were good, bringing her some comfort.
She gathered the Spirit Stones on the bed; there were seventeen in total. Ten of them belonged to the establishment, and only the remaining seven were hers.
With these seven Spirit Stones, her younger brother could buy another bottle of Medicinal Pill, and her mother could live for a few more days.
"Sigh..."
With no one else in the room, the girl no longer had to force a smile for anyone. She finally had time to herself,
even if it was only for a brief moment.
She hadn't lied; she truly had a younger brother who practiced martial arts and a sick mother.
...
Xu Sanyan plunged into the darkness but did not leave the city. With his abilities, if he truly intended to hide, the other party would find it very difficult to locate him with just these few people.
The three men just now were not highly cultivated either: one was at the early stage of Soul Refinement, and two were at Mystic Path Realm Perfection. If it came to a fight, Xu Sanyan was confident he could take their lives.
But he did not act rashly. If he wanted to stay peacefully in Qianqiu City, it was best to avoid provoking the Wang family as much as possible.
The sky brightened.
In the Inner city of the Wang family, Wang Qingyu had chased with the three men all night but still hadn't found any trace of Xu Sanyan.
The woman sat at the head seat, holding a needle and thread, embroidering. Looking at the pattern on the handkerchief, it appeared to be a Phoenix.
The three men knelt on the ground, not daring to speak. Even the Soul Refinement Realm expert knelt on one knee respectfully, head bowed in silence.
Wang Qingyu was also very afraid of this Third Aunt and stood obediently in place, not daring to move.
The woman said without raising her head, "Qingyu, you go find your elder sister first. Comfort her well, do you understand?"
"Yes, Aunt, your niece understands." Wang Qingyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left the oppressive room.
"Didn't find him?" The woman put down her embroidery and looked at the three.
The Soul Refinement Realm man said in a deep voice, "Reporting to Madam, your subordinate found out that the person was in Mingfeng Pavilion, but it was still a step late. When we arrived, he had already run off, and we searched the city all night but couldn't find him. Your subordinate's work was ineffective, please punish me, Madam."
After the man finished speaking, he buried his head even deeper. Drops of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and his pupils were filled with panic, showing his fear of this woman.
The woman pondered for a long time, then slowly spoke, "I'll give you two more days. Don't disappoint me."
"Thank you, Madam. Your subordinate will go at once."
"Go."
The three left, and the woman got up and walked towards her daughter's room.
The Wang family mansion was very large. Walking along the long corridor inwards, pavilions, waterside structures, gardens, and towers were dazzling at every turn.
Wherever the woman passed, everyone respectfully bowed, whether they were maids, servants, or members of the Wang family, all respectfully addressing her as Madam.
Creak—
The door opened, and the woman looked at her daughter leaning against the headboard of the bed, a pang of affection rising in her heart.
Wang Qingyu and Wang Ruixin sensibly left, giving the mother and daughter some space.
Wang Zixuan lay on the headboard with a melancholic expression, tears welling in her eyes. She turned her head to look at her mother and spoke softly in a hoarse voice, "Mother..."
"Mother is here." The woman quickly walked to the bedside and hugged her daughter tenderly.
"Mother, can you please not make things difficult for him...?"
The woman's expression paused. "Qingyu told you?"
Wang Zixuan leaned into her mother's embrace, her eyes slightly red, and said, "Mother, don't blame my sister, I forced her to tell me. Promise me, please don't hurt Mr. Lin, okay? We can sit down and talk if there's anything..."
The woman lowered her head and remained silent.
Seeing this, Wang Zixuan became even more agitated. She suddenly looked up at the woman, her tone pleading, "Mother, you have always loved me the most since I was little. Please promise me, okay?"
The woman frowned tightly and sighed deeply, "Sigh... Mother is doing all this for your own good. You don't understand the intentions of those men outside at all. How can any of them be good people? They approach you with ulterior motives."
Wang Zixuan, influenced by the demonic seed, couldn't listen at all. In her heart, 'Lin Fan' was the best in the world, and there was no other man as perfect as him.
Seeing that her mother still refused to let go of her Mr. Lin, Wang Zixuan couldn't help but flip over and kneel on the ground, her eyes filled with hot tears as she continued to plead,
"Mother, Mr. Lin is really a good person. Please don't hurt him. If anything truly happens to him, your daughter..."
At this point, Wang Zixuan heavily kowtowed and sobbed loudly, "Your daughter would not wish to live alone either."
The woman closed her eyes. She couldn't understand what kind of bewitching soup that man had given her daughter, that she was even resorting to threatening suicide.
"Sigh... Fine, I'll do as you wish."
The woman ultimately couldn't win against her daughter and could only sullenly agree. At the same time, a bitter feeling arose in her heart.
No matter how high her status, how great her power, or how profound her cultivation, she ultimately couldn't use them on her own daughter.
Wang Zixuan's tears turned to laughter as she threw herself into her mother's arms and cooed, "Thank you, Mother, I knew Mother was the best."
"Oh, you... But no matter what, you must meet him. If you can find him, please invite him into the mansion for a meeting."
"Mhm mhm..."
Although the woman agreed to her daughter, she did not stop her subordinates from continuing to search for the man's whereabouts.
...
At this moment, Xu Sanyan was lying in bed, holding a fragrant young girl in his arms.
This girl was the daughter of a certain family in the Outer city, with good talent, already at the Inner Qi Realm cultivation at a young age.
Of course, this bit of cultivation was negligible in his eyes, easily manipulated.
Lately, he particularly liked these sweet-smelling girls, perhaps it was the effect of that undergarment, bringing out some deep-seated preference.
"Young Master, please rest for a while, I can't take it anymore..."
The girl, covered in fragrant sweat, pleaded for mercy.
