255: Chapter 255 The whole city mobilized

They looked upward.

Watching the group walk down.

The next moment, pair after pair of eyes widened in shock, unable to believe what they were seeing.

These young women were so beautiful; were these really Ye Qing's artifact spirits?!

They then recalled the rumors they had heard before about Ye Qing's artifact spirits being very beautiful. They had originally wondered just how beautiful they could be, but now that they saw them, they were truly stunned—they were like Heavenly Immortals!

They were absolutely stunning!

Furthermore, these beauties were all high-Rank, powerful artifact spirits!

This, this, this!

Is there any justice in this world?!

In an instant, the hearts of the gathered Family heads were filled with turbulent waves of shock.

However, one Family head was the first to react and walked toward them.

"Ladies, I am Liu He, the head of the Liu Family..."

Subsequently, the other Family heads also crowded around.

Zhou Lingxue and the others did not avoid them; instead, they began to converse with them, taking the opportunity to learn more about the situation in the Modu Barrier.

The gathered Family heads felt satisfied; after all, they could only be turned away at the Ye residence, but here, they could actually interact with Ye Qing's artifact spirits.

After a while.

Jing Yao stood up and said, "Sisters, we've been walking around for half a day now. You must be tired, right? Shall we head back to the villa first?"

"Sure."

"Indeed, we have been out for quite some time."

"Let's head back."

Everyone agreed with Jing Yao. Having learned what they needed, they had no interest in continuing to converse with these Family heads. Since Jing Yao had brought it up first, they naturally echoed her sentiment.

"Then we shall take our leave."

Jing Yao and Jing Yue looked at the Family heads.

The Family heads were prepared to ask them to stay, but the words died on their lips.

They then saw them off.

Once they had left.

The Family heads could no longer suppress the shock in their hearts.

"My god! The rumors said that Lord Ye's artifact spirits were beautiful, but I was skeptical. Now that I've seen them, they are more than just beautiful—they are like Heavenly Immortals! And to think such artifact spirits are also this powerful... there is simply no justice in this world!"

"Your information is outdated."

One Family head, hearing the lamentations of the person beside him, added, "These young women, according to rumors, were beautiful but were all Wasted Artifact Spirits before contracting with Lord Ye. It was only after contracting with Lord Ye and undergoing Ancestral Return that they became such powerful artifact spirits. Do you understand now? It is actually all thanks to Lord Ye."

"Gasp."

At these words, those nearby all gasped in shock.

So that was the case; they hadn't known this before.

In an instant, they began to ponder.

"What do you think? If I were to go back to my Family and look for some beautiful, Wasted Artifact Spirits that haven't been contracted yet, and then offer them to Lord Ye..." one Family head said, and everyone turned to look at him.

Hey, you guy, you really are a clever one!

You really dare to think big!

"Forget it, the people in your Family look just like you—not very good," someone beside him muttered.

The previous Family head: "..." Why are you insulting me!

And insulting me so crudely at that!

Can you not!

"Nonsense! I have a distant niece who is extremely beautiful and proficient in all sorts of talents."

Boom!

That one sentence was like a thunderclap on a clear day.

Everyone looked at him. This guy, in broad daylight and in public, what was he saying?

"Damn, you're courting death! Even if it's not her first time, you dare to offer her to Lord Ye?"

"That's right, I advise you not to court death."

"This 'proficient in talents' of yours... is it legitimate?"

The Family head: "..." You bunch of old lechers, my talk of talents is perfectly legitimate, alright!

What on earth is going through your heads!

"Go away! I'm speaking perfectly seriously!"

"Get lost, get lost! It's your minds that are twisted!"

That Family head made up his mind and then headed home.

The other Family heads were left standing there, watching his back, each of them lost in deep thought.

Gasp.

What this guy said didn't seem like a bad idea.

If someone in the Family could become an artifact spirit for Lord Ye Qing, not only would they be able to undergo Ancestral Return and become a powerful artifact spirit, but the boost to the Family would also be immense!

After all, the families in the Jiangcheng Barrier did not have such a bond with Lord Ye, yet they were already agents for the Ore business and were making a fortune.

"I'm leaving."

"I'm heading out too."

One after another, the Family heads made up their minds and headed toward their respective homes.

Only a few Family heads remained, watching them with expressions of helplessness and envy.

After all, their families didn't have such promising candidates—both beautiful and Wasted Artifact Spirits.

"Sigh, I'm envious."

"Others might have such promising candidates in their families, but the ones in mine look just like me—big and coarse."

"I'm afraid they're going to take off in the future."

As they spoke, a Family head listening nearby snorted coldly, "If there aren't any in your Family, can't you look for outside help?"

Outside help?

In an instant, they understood what he meant—looking outside the Family?

That works!

"Let's go, let's go!"

"We can go to other Barriers to look for them."

"Let's go!"

As if they had found a goal, the crowd scattered in all directions.

After a while.

In one of the families.

"Niece, have you heard of the deeds of Lord Ye Qing..."

The Family head began to recount Ye Qing's deeds to a Young Woman. As she listened, she was left stunned, as if she were hearing a legend. She herself was a Wasted Artifact Spirit and a member of a collateral branch of the Family; she had never interacted with such a figure before.

After the Family head finished speaking, she was left dumbfounded.

"Second Uncle, you called me over and told me all this—there must be a reason, right?"

"Is there something you want me to do?"

"There is one thing."

The Family head then began to explain it to the Young Woman.

After a while.

The Young Woman's face flushed with shyness.

This, this, this!

He wanted her to enter into a Contract with such a powerful expert?

Isn't this just messing around?!

How could that be possible!

How could he possibly take a fancy to her!

Besides, hadn't the Family already arranged for her to enter into a Contract with a Family disciple?

"Second Uncle, you've forgotten. You previously arranged for me to enter into a Contract with a disciple from the Wang Family. If we do this now, don't we need to inform the Wang Family? Would they agree?"

Oh.

Right, there was that matter.

"It's fine. I'll go talk to them in a moment. As for whether they agree or not... humph, that won't be up to them."

The Family head said, then looked at the shy Young Woman. This matter should be settled on this end.

The rest would depend on whether Lord Ye agreed.
