69: Making a beautiful woman angry will bring divine retribution.

Zhao Yunsou seemed to sense Lin Du's gaze, and he happened to look over as well.

Their eyes met, sparking in the air.

Actually!

The target that made Zhao Yunsou's eyes light up was not Lin Du, but Silver King, who possessed top-tier beauty and charisma, standing beside Lin Du.

Zhao Yunsou had been deeply attracted by Silver King's cold demeanor and captivating beauty during his fleeting glance.

Her appearance and temperament were in no way inferior to Ning Fengya's, and a strong possessiveness instantly arose in Zhao Yunsou's heart... "What's wrong, Brother Ye? Encountering difficulties?" Zhao Yunsou walked towards Lin Du.

Lin Du could swear to the heavens!

This time, he didn't intentionally try to trick Zhao Yunsou; Zhao Yunsou had completely walked over to him on his own.

Since Zhao Yunsou had come to him, if Lin Du didn't make some gesture, it would seem like he was looking down on Eldest Young Master Zhao... Lin Du looked at the unsold equipment, a deep look of helplessness on his face.

"It's not really a difficulty, it's just a pity that the equipment I dropped in the Qin Kings Underground Palace Instance yesterday has gone unnoticed."

Hearing this, a look of realization appeared on Zhao Yunsou's face.

"I thought it was something serious; isn't this small matter simple?"

"Package these pieces of equipment. For 3,000 years of lifespan value, I'll take them back for the lower-level players under me!"

Lin Du's face lit up with joy upon hearing this.

Just as he was about to agree, Silver King suddenly leaned into his ear and whispered:

"Boss, isn't 3,000 years of lifespan value too little?"

"Our original lowest marked price was 3,500 years of lifespan value!"

Silver King's voice wasn't loud, but it was clearly heard by the "sharp-eared and sharp-eyed" Zhao Yunsou.

Lin Du's expression sobered, and he glared angrily at Silver King.

"Presumptuous!"

"Young Master Zhao is willing to take this equipment, which is already giving me a lot of face. How dare you haggle?"

Silver King was scolded by Lin Du, and a tearful expression appeared on her beautiful face.

Silver King's divine beauty combined with her pitiable expression instantly broke through Zhao Yunsou's psychological defenses... Zhao Yunsou patted Lin Du's shoulder and laughed, "Brother Ye, it's just a little lifespan value, why get angry?"

"Since this beauty says 3,000 years isn't enough, then how about 5,000 years of lifespan value!"

"Making a beautiful girl angry will incur divine wrath."

Zhao Yunsou then reached out to touch Silver King's hand, but she cleverly avoided him.

Zhao Yunsou didn't mind, seeing this, and instead smiled even more happily.

Lin Du frowned, "Young Master Zhao, wouldn't it be inappropriate to keep letting you spend so much?"

Zhao Yunsou waved his hand grandly, an indifferent expression on his face.

"It's nothing, don't worry about it!"

Lin Du nodded gratefully, then turned to look at Silver King beside him.

"Little Silver, why aren't you thanking Young Master Zhao!"

Silver King gave a pitiful bow to Zhao Yunsou, "Thank you, Young Master Zhao."

This simple sentence instantly made Zhao Yunsou's heart swell with satisfaction.

Isn't this beauty much more fragrant than that ice block Ning Fengya?

Zhao Yunsou tried to make a move again, and Lin Du immediately gave Silver King a look.

"What are you standing there for!"

"Hurry up and pack all of Young Master Zhao's things!"

...At this point, most of the players in the exhibition hall had already left.

Silver King went to get the equipment.

Zhao Yunsou gazed at Silver King's graceful back, unconsciously licking his lips, his eyes full of greed.

"Brother Ye, where did you find this little employee?"

"She's quite good-looking!"

Lin Du smiled, a barely perceptible hint of mockery hidden in his expression.

"Young Master Zhao is interested in Little Silver?"

Zhao Yunsou did not hide his thoughts and desires, "Everyone loves beauty. What man wouldn't be moved upon seeing such a beautiful woman?"

At this moment, Silver King walked over with the items Zhao Yunsou had purchased.

"Young Master Zhao, all the items you purchased are here, totaling 75,000 years of lifespan value."

"Will you be transferring the payment now?"

Zhao Yunsou nodded, "Yes, transfer it now!"

Beep—

Two seconds later, Lin Du received the message: 75,000 years of lifespan value had arrived.

By now, the lifespan value in Lin Du's card had reached 83,946 years!

This rate of wealth growth felt somewhat surreal to Lin Du.

Only half a month had passed, and he had already accumulated a quarter of his external debt.

If this trend continued, it wouldn't be long before he could break free from the Ning Family and regain his freedom!

Of course, the prerequisite was being able to frequently encounter big spenders like Zhao Yunsou... "Brother Ye, I saw that you seemed to have some conflict with Hong Jiu'er from Peak of the Forbidden City just now?"

"Was she here to recruit you?"

Zhao Yunsou brought up the main topic.

Lin Du nodded honestly, "This is Peak of the Forbidden City's second recruitment attempt, but I've rejected them both times. It seems they won't let me off easily..."

Zhao Yunsou was very satisfied with Lin Du's answer, and he smiled proudly.

"You don't need to worry about Peak of the Forbidden City's matters."

"The Zhao Family has some cooperation with Peak of the Forbidden City. As long as you join the Zhao Family, Peak of the Forbidden City will never trouble you again!"

Hearing Zhao Yunsou say he had cooperation with Peak of the Forbidden City, a glint flashed in Lin Du's eyes.

Wasn't Zhao Yunsou here to cooperate with the Ning Family?

How did he get involved with Peak of the Forbidden City again?

Could it be... a terrifying conjecture surfaced in Lin Du's mind.

He subconsciously thought of what Ning Fengya had said to Ning Fengnian earlier.

"Do you think... the Zhao Family is sincerely cooperating with the Ning Family?"

So!

Ning Fengya had discovered something amiss long ago!

Zhao Yunsou also realized he had let something slip, and he quickly changed the subject.

"Brother Ye, joining the Zhao Family is the best choice for you. You've also seen the Zhao Family's financial resources and strength."

"How have you been considering joining the Zhao Family?"

Zhao Yunsou smiled confidently.

He could clearly sense that Lin Du had a special fondness for him.

This fondness was not shown by Lin Du towards any other forces; only he, Zhao Yunsou, possessed it.

This special attitude led Zhao Yunsou to conclude that securing Lin Du was a sure thing.

Zhao Yunsou waited confidently for Lin Du's answer... Time passed minute by minute, but Lin Du still didn't respond.

Zhao Yunsou frowned and asked again, "Brother Ye, what have you decided?"

Lin Du's expression was solemn, and he sincerely cupped his fists towards Zhao Yunsou.

"Young Master Zhao, all the conditions you mentioned are very tempting."

"But time is short, please give me more time, I will consider it carefully!"

...
