Two young ladies clutched their skirts, their brows and eyes showing a hint of youthful shyness and restraint.
To deal with such inexperienced young men, being too aggressive is not good, only a delicate and innocent young lady can completely captivate them.
However, the young servant didn’t play by the rules. He took the roster, compared them one by one, confirmed the numbers were correct, and nodded, "Alright, we’ll take all these ladies."
"All of them?!"
Not only were the ladies stunned, but even the madam was taken aback.
This young master looks gentle and weak, yet he’s too fiery; taking nine at once, even an iron man wouldn’t dare to play like this!
The madam regained her composure, worried that Xiao Chunan might not know his limits, and any accidents might cause trouble. She kindly advised, "First time here, young master, be careful not to wear yourself out, let’s take it slow and steady..."
"What, worried we can’t pay?" The servant pulled out a stack of silver notes, slapped them on the table, "The more people, the merrier. Our young master likes to challenge himself. As long as he’s pleased, there’s no limit to the silver notes!"
Looking at the stack of notes, the ladies couldn’t take their eyes off them.
Seeing them so generous, the madam couldn’t say more and silently retreated.
"Young master~"
"Haven’t seen such a handsome young master in a long time!"
"Young master looks like my sweetheart~"
This white-clothed young master not only has money, but is also pleasing to the eye. It’s rare to have such premium customers, forget pretending to be pure, the ladies immediately flocked to him like birds.
"Wait." The young servant raised a hand to stop them, picked up the wine jug, filled the cups on the table, and said, "One by one come forth, first each toast a cup to the young master, to lift his spirits."
"Alright."
Such a reasonable request, the ladies naturally wouldn’t refuse, obediently lined up, took the cups one by one, and drank it all down.
As the wine settled, within five breaths they felt dizzy, their heads spinning, and one by one they collapsed to the ground.
The servant stepped forward to check carefully, confirmed they were alright, and said, "The Gu poison worm has been planted in their meridians, now we just wait for the opponent to take the bait."
The "white-clothed young master" nodded, his face blurred, changing into Yu Hongyin’s appearance.
She kept her face tight, appearing slightly nervous, as it was her first time in such a place, inevitably feeling a bit uneasy.
"Saint Daughter, did I act well just now?" Qiao Tong, disguised as the servant, said with a smile.
Yu Hongyin glanced at her and said, "A bit too real, didn’t feel like acting. Have you secretly been to such places before?"
"Of course not, it’s all taught by Mr. Chen. I’m just learning and selling at the same time." Qiao Tong blinked and said, "If we catch the real culprit this time, Mr. Chen will definitely view you differently, might even develop further!"
Yu Hongyin’s ears faintly burned, shaking her head, "Don’t start pairing off randomly here, I’m just repaying his kindness, nothing else."
Qiao Tong pouted, "Come off it, don’t hide from me, who doesn’t see that with a sharp eye? Whenever you see Mr. Chen, you’re just short of wearing ’like’ on your face!"
"Is it that obvious?" Yu Hongyin subconsciously rubbed her cheeks.
Noticing Qiao Tong’s odd look, she finally responded, slightly embarrassed, clearing her throat, "Cough, cough, now’s not the time to discuss this... right, is the madam handled?"
"Don’t worry, I applied the Soul Capturing Potion on that piece of Silver; soon she’ll forget everything that happened." Qiao Tong said.
"Alright, handle this and let’s move quickly, we still have several places to go." Yu Hongyin urged.
This "disappearance case," all victims were girls under twenty, this is definitely no coincidence, the opponent is likely to strike again soon.
To avoid alerting the enemy prematurely, Chen Mo went to the training ground first to prepare for alchemy matters, while Lin Jingzhu continued to patrol the city with his men, deliberately making public appearances, to relax the opponent’s guard.
Yu Hongyin and Qiao Tong disguised as customers, acting in secret.
Since they couldn’t determine the next target, they could only cast a wide net, focusing on reeling in fish, marking all the girls under twenty at Jade Building, if any one of them had an accident, they could follow the clues to find the real culprit.
The two carried the unconscious ladies to the bed, then changed their outfits, and used magic to alter their appearances.
The previous pair of delicate young master and the servant transformed into two burly men, then opened the window and disappeared in a flash.
...
...
North suburb, Capital Camp Training Ground.
This site was originally the drilling and review venue of the Capital Guard Army, vast in area, with high walls and turret buildings all around, heavily guarded.
Under the Empress’s arrangement, it was temporarily requisitioned as an alchemy site for refining the Creation Golden Pill, and a team of Yulin Army was dispatched to guard it throughout, showing the importance placed on Ling Yishan.
Tap tap tap——
In the distance, smoke and dust billowed, the urgent sound of horse hooves approached swiftly.
