Investigate me, teach his father a lesson.
"Young Master, please sit. Xiao Mei, brew some tea using my private stash."
The steward looked at the thirty Medicinal Pills, his breathing becoming a bit erratic.
Medicinal Pills of the Emperor Sealing Realm wouldn't normally excite him, but these were top-grade pills.
Their research value alone was immense.
"Is the Young Master selling these privately?"
"Just these for now. I've been a bit short on money lately, so I'm auctioning off some small trinkets."
In any case, when one is away from home, one's identity is whatever one claims it to be.
The steward's eyes brightened even further.
"Young Master, how about we auction twenty-five of them, and I will purchase the remaining five at the highest auction price? Would that be acceptable?"
Chu Xinghe nodded.
"Young Master, this is a Silver Membership for our Linglong Pavilion; it is the highest level of authority I can grant."
"With this membership, you can enjoy a twenty percent discount on any purchase within our Linglong Pavilion."
Chu Xinghe accepted the token.
"Young Master, there will be an auction at our Linglong Pavilion in two days. You are welcome to come and see."
Chu Xinghe nodded, stood up, and turned to leave.
From beginning to end, he hadn't spared a single glance at the tea in the cup.
The steward let out a sigh of relief.
"Steward, you seem very nervous?"
"There are many in Yu City who can produce Emperor Sealing Medicinal Pills, but such top-grade ones... I haven't seen many in the entire Wu Prefecture. I need to report this."
"Such a person must not be offended. If my authority weren't so low, I would have wanted to give him a Gold Membership."
Xiao Mei was stunned. A Gold Membership required a cultivation level of at least the King Sealing Realm, which excluded many people.
After Chu Xinghe came out, he marveled at the power of the purple gold gourd.
Having refined so many pills just now, the purple gold gourd had also repaired itself slightly.
This made Chu Xinghe's eyes light up.
It can refine pills and even repair itself.
This gourd is truly a natural-born Alchemist.
Chu Xinghe walked down the street, strolling idly.
[Master, stop looking at legs! Look, there's a Child of Destiny.]
[Let's see if he can help us complete the mission.]
Chu Xinghe shifted his gaze.
Name: Yu Linmo
Age: 21
Identity: Young Master of the Yu City Lord's Mansion, Child of Destiny
Physique: Astral King Body (Crippled, Origin lost)
Strength: Divine General (Crippled)
Cultivation Technique: Jade Heaven Technique
Martial Skill: Soul-Consuming Hand, Pliant Wind Saber Technique... Luck Value: 100,000
Chu Xinghe frowned; he was only a King Body and had already been crippled.
Physiques also had a hierarchy.
Spiritual Body, Treasure Body, King Body, Sacred Body.
This showed the importance of one's Physique.
Yu Linmo sat in a wheelchair, being pushed by a maidservant.
He was curious about his surroundings, but unfortunately, he turned a blind eye to the gloating expressions of others.
Over the past few years, he had heard too much sarcasm.
Even enemies he had once trampled underfoot could now come up and kick him while he was down.
In his mind, a pair of eyes flashed—veiled, with a haughty gaze, radiating noble status.
When his Origin was excavated, it felt more like he was being pitied.
Thinking about it made him want to cough up blood in frustration.
"You dug out my Origin, and yet you still look down on me."
Snapping back to reality, his body couldn't help but sit up a bit straighter.
Approaching him was a figure wearing a mask and silver-moon white clothes, with white hair falling naturally.
The Aura was ethereal, as if completely out of place with the surroundings.
When did such a person appear in Yu City?
The person passed by him without a moment's hesitation.
Yu Linmo had a feeling that even before he was crippled, he would have felt ashamed of his own inferiority upon meeting this person.
However, he was more curious than anything.
"Have someone investigate and see exactly where this person comes from."
Yu Linmo said to the maidservant behind him.
The maidservant nodded.
Chu Xinghe had already arrived at Guanxin Tower and opened a room.
"Young Master Chu, someone is investigating you."
The corners of Chu Xinghe's mouth curled up.
"Go give the Yu City Lord a lesson, give him a warning."
Shadow Six nodded.
"Young Master Chu, the person investigating you—his biological mother is dead, but his stepmother is still alive. Should I kidnap her for you?"
Chu Xinghe: ???
"Wait, when did I ever say I wanted to kidnap his mother?"
Shadow Six scratched his head.
"Tell me about the situation at the City Lord's Mansion."
Shadow Six nodded.
"The Yu City Lord is Yu Mingli, in the Void God Realm. His first wife, Qian Lele, has passed away, and their child is Yu Linmo."
"He later married Chang Xin and had a son named Yu Linkai, who has an Earth Attribute Body and is at the Divine Soul Realm."
"Many suspect that Chang Xin was behind Yu Linmo's accident, but there is no evidence."
"Why didn't your Young Miss just kill him? That would have ended it once and for all."
Shadow Six shook his head.
"Back then, Yu Linmo was protected by a treasure, which also alerted many people."
"At that time, many Sacred Lands wanted to recruit Yu Linmo, including the Taixuan Sacred Land."
Chu Xinghe nodded.
She wasn't stupid; she chose to strike someone whose brothers had a rift and whose Family was in discord.
"You had better investigate that Qian Lele."
Hearing Chu Xinghe's words, Shadow Six nodded.
"Go then."
Shadow Six vanished.
At the City Lord's Mansion, a massive pressure descended.
The entire mansion began to shake.
Yu Mingli, Yu Linmo, Yu Linkai, and Chang Xin all walked out.
Looking at the black-clad figure in the sky, their expressions changed.
"I do not know what business Your Excellency has with the City Lord's Mansion, but Yu City is under the protection of the Taixuan Sacred Land."
Yu Mingli was also uneasy in his heart.
A vast pressure descended, and Yu Mingli spat out a mouthful of blood.
He took several steps back and knelt on one knee on the ground.
Chang Xin stepped forward.
"How presumptuous! We will report today's events to the Taixuan Sacred Land."
The black-clad figure glanced at Chang Xin.
"I know your Chang Family has an Old Ancestor serving as an Elder in the Taixuan Sacred Land. What else?"
Waves of shock surged in Chang Xin's heart.
"Who exactly are you?"
The person in black ignored Chang Xin.
"Who did it?"
"Who dared to investigate my Young Master's affairs?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Yu Linmo's pupils constricted.
He thought of the investigation he had ordered today.
"If there was any offense, I hope for your forbearance."
Yu Linmo sat in his wheelchair and cupped his hands.
"Commit suicide to atone for your crime."
The black-clad person's voice was cold.
Yu Mingli's face looked grim.
His eldest son had once been his pride; after he was crippled, he had placed all his hopes on his younger son.
In this past month, he had lacked discipline over him, and he had actually provoked such a huge trouble.
"I don't want to die yet."
Yu Linmo shook his head.
The black-clad person didn't care to waste words.
He remembered what Young Master Chu had said: never waste words.
Yu Linmo crushed a jade pendant.
A huge vortex appeared in the sky.
A finger emerged from the void.
When Shadow Six saw this, his eyes narrowed.
Interesting, to be able to make someone from the Linglong Pavilion take action.
Shadow Six's Aura exploded, and the pressure of the God Emperor Realm spread out.
He took out a blade and slashed toward the sky.
Rumble...
The finger in the sky shattered.
Shadow Six's body retreated several steps in succession.
He let out a muffled groan and forcibly swallowed a mouthful of blood.
"To be able to make an Elder of the Linglong Pavilion act, kid, you certainly have some means."
"I hope you don't regret this later."
Shadow Six finished speaking and was about to leave.
"Oh? I'd like to see how you'll make my Linglong Pavilion regret it."
A huge vortex appeared in the void.
Gold paved the way, illuminating the entire Yu City.
A flood dragon appeared, pulling a luxurious palace.
The words 'Linglong Pavilion' were carved upon the palace.
It radiated an ancient Dao intent.
After the palace appeared, a sealing array manifested.
Shadow Six's expression shifted repeatedly.
Linglong Yunyou walked out of the palace.
Her figure floated down.
She landed beside Yu Linmo.
"Brother Yu, I'm not too late, am I?"
