Three dayster, at noon.
In the lobby of <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Jiang Mansion</em>, Ye Anping was standing in front of a slightly longer table, holding a brush and using a ruler to draw on a nk piece of paper. Beside him, Pei Lianxue was helping to grind the ink and sort out the <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Shifting Eye</em> talismans that Ye Anping had asked the <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Jiang Mansion</em> servants to buy from the market early in the morning.
Thud-thud---
Angry footsteps came from the door. Liang Zhu walked quickly into the house with ''<em ss="chakra-text css-0">Erotic Pictures of the Immortal Pce</em>'' in his hand and threw the book in front of him.
Ye Anping nced at the book, put the brush on the rack, looked at the resentful eyes of Liang Zhu, and asked with a sigh, "What''s wrong?"
Liang Zhu''s eyes twitched, as he said resentfully, "Put away this damn book of yours."
"I didn''t give this book, my wife did."
?
Startled, Liang Zhu turned to look at Pei Lianxue. The shocked expression on his face seemed to say, <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Good Lord, a woman with such a clean and pure appearance has this kind of book, not to mention that she actually gave it to a twelve-year-old girl to read?</em>
Pei Lianxue, with a bewildered look, stepped forward, put the book into her storage bag, and asked, "What''s wrong with this book?"
Ye Anping smiled faintly and repeated his sister''s question, "Yeah, what''s wrong with this book?"
Looking at the "couple", Liang Zhu couldn''t squeeze out a word for a long time. Finally, he gave them each a re, and then said, "Nothing''s wrong. I found the seller of the Shocking pills. Two thousand pills, is it enough?"
Ye Anping frowned, feeling that it was not enough.
"Just two thousand?"
"It''s not amon item. There are a total of two thousand circting on the ck market."
Ye Anping thought for a moment. Then, he asked, "How much is the purchase price?"
"Twenty."
"A bit pricey... Let''s keep the price down to 15. After that, if we sell it in the <em ss="chakra-text css-0"><strong>Dragon House</strong></em>, we will sell it for 50."
"How to keep it down?"
"I''m not familiar with <strong>Duchun City</strong>''s ck market. You figure it out."
Liang Zhu took a deep breath. <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Do you think it''s easy to talk to people on the ck market?</em>
But he didn''t say the words out loud, and after sighing, he nodded in agreement.
"I''ll try."
"Good."
Liang Zhu looked at the drawing in front of Ye Anping.
Although it wasn''t finished yet, but...
He narrowed his eyes and asked, "A map of the <em ss="chakra-text css-0"><strong>Dragon House</strong></em>?"
"What? Is there something wrong with the drawing?"
"I don''t know."
The markings were roughly distributed at some crossroads within the <em ss="chakra-text css-0"><strong>Dragon House</strong></em>, or outside thepound in the restaurants, greenhouses, theater halls, and inns.
He didn''t figure out what these markings meant but didn''t ask.
At this time, a scar-faced man strode inside the house.
Seeing that Liang Zhu was there, he first nodded slightly in greeting, then cupped his hands to Ye Anping. "Young Master, I have found the sixty-four people you asked for. They are all old members of the <em ss="chakra-text css-0"><strong>Dragon yer Society</strong></em>, and their cultivation levels are around the seventh or eighth level of <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Qi Refining</em>.
"Alright, thank you for your hard work, Master Chen."
"It''s no big deal." Master Chen smiled and shook his head. "Young Master, do you want to go out and take a look at them? I asked them to wait in the yard."
"Brother Liang, hold the map for me."
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">Do you think I am your servant</em>?... Liang Zhu rolled his eyes at him, but he still raised his hand arrogantly, making the map on the table float.
The four of them walked out of the lobby together. The originally noisy <em ss="chakra-text css-0"><strong>Dragon yer</strong></em> congregation in the courtyard immediately fell silent and quickly formed eight rows and eight columns.
"Greetings, Young Master!!!"
Ye Anping nced over them and took from Pei Lianxue the 128 <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Shifting Eye</em> charms he had prepared.
With a slight wave of his sleeves, all the talismans rose into the air andnded in front of those people.
Hepressed his throat, and in the voice he used to guide his sister to practice, he said solemnly, "Each of you, take two talismans and keep them with you. When the Dragons'' Convention opens, ce one on your chest and one on your back."
Everyone was a little confused, but they took the talismans. When they saw that it was a <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Shifting Eye</em> talisman, they also understood that they were supposed to be standing guard.
"People in the first four rows,e and look at the map. Everyone, write down a location in order. My requirement for you is to stay in this ce as long as you have nothing to do. Whether you are pretending to be an ordinary cultivator or a passerby drinking tea, you can do whatever you want. Try not to expose the existence of the <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Shifting Eye</em> talisman."
Ye Anping looked at the people in the four back rows and continued. "As for the people in thest four rows, after the opening of the Dragons'' Convention, you can just wander around the <em ss="chakra-text css-0"><strong>Dragon House</strong></em> in teams of two, no other requirements."
"Yes, sir."
"Don''t you have any energy? Speak louder!"
"Yes, sir!!!"
Ye Anping rxed his throat, then looked at Master Chen and said, "Master Chen, give these people three times the monthly sry, and also prepare some ordinary-looking clothes for them."
"Understood." Master Chen cupped his hand in response, but after hesitating for a moment, he asked, "May I ask, Young Master, what is this for?"
"It''s just a small business to make some money for the <em ss="chakra-text css-0"><strong>Dragon yer Society</strong></em>."
"But..." Master Chen looked at the map floating next to him and asked, "Young Master, this map looks like the map of the <em ss="chakra-text css-0"><strong>Dragon House</strong></em>, and our people can''t enter. We''re talking about the <em ss="chakra-text css-0"><strong>Dragon House</strong></em>..."
"We can get in."
"Young Master... you can''t get in." Master Chen shook his head and exined stubbornly, "The Dragons'' Convention is only open to inner disciples, and only those who have received the invitation can enter the inner pce. This..."
"Believe me, we can get in." Ye Anping patted him on the shoulder and said, "You should also be prepared. The <em ss="chakra-text css-0"><strong>Dragon House</strong></em> will invite the seven chambers ofmerce in <strong>Duchun City</strong>, including the <em ss="chakra-text css-0"><strong>Dragon yer Society</strong></em> and <em ss="chakra-text css-0"><strong>Green Peak Society</strong></em>, to take care of some behind-the-scenes work, such as portering and the like. At the same time, they will arrange for us to set up a store. That''s a big business."
Master Chen was skeptical, but also a little surprised, and asked, "Really? The previous Conventions were..."
"Why would I lie to you... I got some inside information."
As Ye Anping said this, suddenly, two servants came over from the direction of the <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Jiang Mansion</em> gate, restraining a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl in ragged clothes.
They made the girl kneel in front of Ye Anping, then cupped their hands and saluted the four people present.
Master Chen sized up the beggar girl and asked, "What''s up with her?"
"Well..." One of the servants pointed at the woman. "This girl just suddenly came to the gate and said that she was the Young Master of the <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Jiang Mansion</em>..."
Ye Anping slowly turned his head and looked at Liang Zhu, his eyes twitching slightly. <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Really, you have found a girl?</em>
Liang Zhu shrugged slightly. <em ss="chakra-text css-0">What difference does it make?</em>
"..."
After the servant spoke, there was silence in the courtyard.
Not only Master Chen was confused, but also the sixty-four people standing in rows were shocked.
Everyone thought that if you wanted to pretend to be the Young Master of their <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Jiang Mansion</em>, you should at least check if you could be the ''young master''. After all, ''something'' was missing, and two ''spheres'' were added.
Ye Anping squatted down in front of the girl and asked, "Girl, you said you are the Young Master of the <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Jiang Mansion</em>?"
The girl thought for a while and nodded desperately. "Right! I was robbed on the road and my token was taken away. I am the Young Master of the <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Jiang Mansion</em>!"
Ye Anping turned to look at Master Chen and asked, ying dumb. "Master Chen, although it''s a little disrespectful to ask this, but... During the seven years I was away practicing, is it possible that my father has strayed..."
"How could it be?!" Master Chen was stunned and quickly shook his head. "Young Master, it''s clear that this person is trying to impersonate you. This kind of thing is quitemon. I remember that something like this happened to the <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Zhou Mansion</em> in <strong>Duchun City</strong>st year, and the scammer took away many valuable porcin vases."
"Well..."
Ye Anping looked her up and down. Her clothes were in tatters, and there was a lot of dirt in her hair, so he said to the two servants, "Give her some steamed buns and send her away."
"Ah... yes, Young Master."
"Don''t hurt her, be gentle."
The two servants looked at the woman kneeling next to them with confused expressions, and then they took her by the arms and sent her out of the <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Jiang Mansion</em>.
After receiving the steamed buns from the servants, the woman bowed and thanked them, then turned around and ran away.
