At this moment, Long Yu still looked like a middle-aged man. He wasn't good-looking at all, and no one would notice him if he was thrown into a crowd.
There was definitely something fishy about making these two beautiful women follow him.
"I don't know."
Towards Long Yu's question, the purple-robed beauty Zi Su shook her head. However, her eyes were fixated on Long Yu as a sweet smile appeared on her face, "However, I am willing to make a deal with you. I believe you will be interested."
"Speak your mind."
Long Yu pretended to listen attentively.
He didn't need these two beautiful women as followers, and they might even bring him a lot of trouble. However, since Zi Su said it was a deal, she must have something good to offer.
What Long Yu was interested in was naturally what the other party could take out.
"You can easily take out 150,000 shenbi and stay in the Glorious Sun Inn for 15 days. It seems that you're definitely not an ordinary person. If I'm not wrong, your martial realm is far beyond the Five Path Divinity realm?"
Zi Su took a step forward, her eyes shining with wisdom as she looked at Long Yu confidently.
"And then?"
Long Yu's lips curled up as he pretended to be interested and gestured for her to continue.
"So, with your ability, you must have a way to protect me and Ya Shuang."
Zi Su looked straight into Long Yu's eyes and said, "What we need is your protection. As a condition of the deal, we are willing to become your maids for a year. What do you think?"
"I don't know what difficulties you've encountered, nor do I know what kind of opponents you're facing."
Long Yu's expression didn't change. He said indifferently, "If you need my protection, just being my maids is not enough to move me. I'm sorry."
After saying this, Long Yu turned around and left.
Long Yu wouldn't be willing to do something without any practical benefits. As for having two beautiful women as his maids — — he had to be alive to enjoy it!
Putting aside the fact that these two beauties were originally at the Initial Stage of the King Realm, since they wanted to seek protection, then it was definitely not something that the current Long Yu could solve. Long Yu did not have the ability to protect them.
Of course, if things really didn't work out, Long Yu could bring them to the Asura Ancient Palace. That way, their safety would be guaranteed to the greatest extent. However, the conditions they offered were not attractive to Long Yu at all.
Maid?
What was this thing for? Was it edible?
What's more, if Long Yu needed maids, he could just casually offer some shenbi and there would be plenty of beauties willing to become his maids!
Long Yu turned around and left. Zi Su and Qin Yashuang were still standing there. The two women had never expected Long Yu to reject them so decisively!
"Could it be that our beauty is not enough to move him?"
Zi Su and Qin Yashuang looked at each other and saw suspicion and worry in each other's eyes.
That day was about to come, and they didn't have much time left!
…
Long Yu asked around and spent four hours running from the Glorious Sun Inn to the Lin Merchant Firm's auction venue.
The Lin Merchant Firm was one of the three largest firms around the Holy City of the Five Emperors. Its auction venue was naturally very luxurious, not inferior to the Glorious Sun Inn's decorations. It was memorable at first glance.
"Stop, stop. The Lin Merchant Firm's month-end auction is currently being held. Those who have not reached the King Realm are not qualified to enter!"
Long Yu wanted to step in, but he was stopped by a King Realm youth at the door. The youth looked at Long Yu with disdain.
"A mere Five Daos Realm fellow wants to enter our Lin Merchant Firm? Dream on, hurry up and scram! "
The other King Realm guard waved his hand impatiently. "If you don't leave now, then I won't be polite anymore!"
"The Lin Merchant Firm is really arrogant, bullying a martial cultivator like this, hehe!"
Before Long Yu could say anything, a seductive voice came from behind him. It was obvious that she was mocking the two youths guarding the door of the Lin Merchant Guild.
"Witch Su of the Su Medicine Shop has come in person. Could it be that the Lin Merchant Firm is auctioning something good this time?"
"Yeah, the Su Medicine Shop and the Lin Merchant Firm have always been on bad terms. There must be something fishy about Witch Su coming to the Lin Merchant Firm this time!"
"Hehe, in my opinion, Witch Su is just here to ruin the Lin Merchant Firm's reputation. The month-end auction of the three major firms doesn't allow anyone below the King Realm to enter. Witch Su just opened her mouth and mocked the Lin Merchant Firm. She's definitely here to cause trouble! "
The people around them started whispering to each other and started discussing among themselves.
Long Yu subconsciously turned his head to look and saw a beautiful woman in a bright red dress. She was surrounded by a group of martial arts experts and was walking towards the entrance of the Lin's Trading Firm.
A wave of pleasant and strange fragrance assaulted his nostrils, causing Long Yu to feel rather refreshed. After taking a closer look at the peerlessly beautiful woman, he noticed that there was an embroidered "Su" word on her chest. Her appearance was delicate and beautiful, just like a blooming red rose. Just a glance was enough to cause one to be intoxicated.
"Emperor Realm."
Long Yu calmly retreated a step to the side. He didn't want to get involved in the conflict between the two big firms. The main thing was that he still wanted to go to the Su Medicine Hall to participate in the auction. Therefore, he couldn't afford to offend either side.
However, Witch Su clearly wasn't going to let him go so easily.
Her eyes were filled with temptation as she looked at Long Yu. Then she smiled gently and said, "Brother, why don't you follow me in? I want to see whether or not these two watchdogs dare to stop me, Su Ningan, from entering."
"Quick, call the Head Steward over."
One of the guards immediately said to the other, then turned around and looked at Witch Su. He mustered up his courage and said, "Senior Su, I hope you won't make things difficult for us. You know the rules of the three firms …"
"Of course I know the rules, little guy."
Su Ning 'an smiled faintly. She didn't do anything, but the king realm guard in front of her had a confused look in his eyes.
"Senior, please."
The king realm guard's mind was obviously under her control. He actually let Su Ning 'an in.
"That's more like it. Let's go in."
Su Ningan didn't mind at all. She waved her hand and led the three Emperor Realm experts behind her into the Lin Merchant Guild. Before she entered, she even turned her head around and smiled at Long Yu, "Brother, if you don't come in with us, you won't have another chance."
"Eh, senior, I'm sorry. I just remembered that I have something to do. I have to go first."
Long Yu didn't want to walk together with Su Ning 'an. Otherwise, how could he do business with the Lin Merchant Firm? He could only take a step back and come back later. He could use the jade medallion Lin Ruicai gave him to pass through.
"How dare you!"
Hearing Long Yu's words, a white-haired young man behind Su Ning 'an immediately shouted angrily. He glared at Long Yu and said, "Senior Su invited you to come with us, and you dare to refuse? Are you not giving face?"
This white-haired young man should have just stepped into the emperor realm. He looked to be in his thirties and was definitely a genius!
"The people from the Su Medicine Hall aren't robbers, are they?"
Long Yu's expression didn't change. He looked at the white-haired young man and said indifferently, "I can do whatever I want. Don't tell me you want to restrict my freedom?"
"You!"
The white-haired young man immediately glared at Long Yu. Then, with a clang, he pulled out the Long Sword Combat Weapon from his waist. What was shocking was that it was actually a low-rank ancient rank Combat Weapon!
"Does the Su Medicine Hall want to fight on the street?"
Facing the white-haired young man's Emperor realm aura, Long Yu didn't move at all. He stared at the white-haired young man indifferently, letting the aura cut his face like a sharp blade. He didn't even move a single step.
"Stop."
Su Ning 'an looked over and said indifferently, "Let's go in. Don't cause any unnecessary trouble."
However, after saying this, Su Ning 'an gave Long Yu a deep look. There seemed to be a trace of killing intent in that look. It was obvious that she didn't have a good impression of Long Yu.
This made Long Yu feel a sense of danger.
This was his first time facing an emperor realm expert. The last time was when he faced Emperor Yundun in the North Snow Empire. However, this Witch Su was at least a hundred times stronger than Emperor Yundun. Moreover, there was no Yu Hanxin in front of him.
"It seems that to Su Ning 'an, a human life really isn't a human life. If I'm caught by her, I won't even know how I died. Looks like I can't use this identity anymore …"
Long Yu's expression gradually turned cold.
Right now, Long Yu was quite displeased. He'd been dragged into the conflict between two great forces for no reason. He'd even incurred the killing intent of an emperor realm expert. However, he didn't complain because he'd realized that in this world, martial dao was everything and strength was everything.
If a person was too weak, they would only be bullied by others in the end!
"Looks like I'll have to change my identity when I go to the Su Medicine Hall in the future. Also, I can't participate in the month's end auction without reaching the king realm. This is a bit troublesome …"
Long Yu frowned slightly, but didn't think too much about it. He turned around and left.
Perhaps, he had to go back and look for Zi Su and Qin Yashuang?
"Forget it, forget it. I'll go find Lin Ruicai and sell the divine rune crystals first."
Long Yu shook his head and disappeared from the street in a flash.
After a long while, he swaggered back with a jade tablet in his hand.
The guards at the entrance had already changed two, but they still wanted to stop Long Yu when they saw him. However, they saw the jade token in Long Yu's hand.
"It's the Head Butler's esteemed guest, please come in."
The two guards quickly said respectfully.
Long Yu didn't stay at the entrance for long. After making sure that not too many people noticed him, he stepped into the Lin Merchant Firm's auction room.
One of the guards brought Long Yu to the backstage of the Lin Merchant Firm's auction room. Since Long Yu had the jade token from Lin Ruicai, he had the right to see Lin Ruicai.
Only now did Long Yu know that Lin Ruicai was the Lin Merchant Firm's Head Butler. That meant that Lin Ruicai's Theurgy Realm cultivation was just a disguise, right?
Not long after, Long Yu followed the guard all the way to the backstage of the auction room. He heard Lin Ruicai's voice from afar.
However, what made Long Yu's heart sink was the voice of Su Ning 'an, the witch he met just now.
"I didn't think I could avoid her …"
Long Yu's eyes flickered. The transaction of the divine rune crystals had to be done in private. After all, it was forbidden in the Holy City of the Five Emperors.
