Noble Consort Liang Zhi?
Lu An naturally hadn't heard of this woman's name, but he'd already basically guessed her objective, and he asked coldly. "Why?"
"Because she's blocking my path!" Ya Qing didn't conceal her objective in the slightest and said, "Even though she isn't the woman the Young Master likes the most, she's been with the Young Master for the longest time. They grew up together since they were young, and this woman is the daughter of a general. It's very likely that she'll be the first wife in the end, and once the first wife is established, then I won't have any chance! But so long as she's dead, my chance will surely be the greatest! So I want you to help me kill her! "
"…"
Lu An didn't really understand the disputes within the imperial family or the imperial harem. After all, he wasn't able to come into contact with this level before the age of 12. But from the start of his cultivation until now, all the members of the imperial family he'd encountered seemed to be a place of mutual deception, and it was normal.
Every time he noticed this, Lu An would think of his wife. Fortunately, they didn't act like this, otherwise … he would have a headache to death.
"Isn't your Gao Clan very powerful?" Lu An's voice was extremely fierce as he asked. "Why do you want me to make a move?"
"What else could it be? Because they're cowardly! " When she spoke up to here, Ya Qing immediately said angrily, "After all, Liang Zhi is the Young Master's woman and the daughter of a general. Her father is at the Heavenly Realm, yet our merchant group doesn't have a Heavenly Realm expert, and even my father isn't one. They usually can't wait to curry favor with her, so how could they dare go against her? Even if I told them that so long as they killed this woman, then the clan would rely on me in the future, they weren't willing to do it! "
Lu An understood the clan's actions even more after he heard this. After all, once they failed or were found out, then the entire merchant group would be doomed eternally. Most importantly, the possibility of being exposed was too great, which meant that the risk was extremely high, but the gains in exchange weren't so great, so there was indeed no need.
But …
"I can help you kill someone." Lu An spoke indifferently, yet he seemed to be extremely fierce. "I usually accept orders to kill as well, but what can you take out that can interest me?"
"I …" Ya Qing was speechless. Even though her strength was equivalent to a level seven Heavenly Master and possessed a certain level of natural talent in cultivation, she was mostly stacked up with treasures of heaven and earth. She had no idea what a Celestial Tier elite needed, but she still said immediately, "Name your price! As long as it's on the Cloud Riding Planet, I can get you anything you want! "
Here it comes!
Lu An's heart trembled, but his expression did not change as he said, "Then I'll take it as a reward for helping me find someone. How about that?"
"This won't do!" Ya Qing hurriedly spoke out when she heard this.
Lu An frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Why? Didn't you say anything would do? Are you toying with me? "
"No no no!" When she saw the madman before her suddenly become even more ferocious, Ya Qing was instantly terrified to the point her countenance went pale, and she immediately took two steps back before hurriedly explaining. "It's because I can't allow my clan to find out about this matter, otherwise, they would surely not agree to me doing this, and they would stop our transaction as well!"
"…"
Lu An went silent when he heard this, and he pondered seriously, whereas, Ya Qing waited at the side with slight terror.
Finally, after a few breaths of time, Lu An raised his eyes once more to look at Ya Qing and said, "I heard … your Cloud Riding Race has a treasure called the Coldlight Pearl, right?"
When she heard the words Coldlight Pearl, it instantly caused Ya Qing's figure to shake, and she immediately stared her eyes wide open at the madman before her!
Never had she imagined that this madman would actually target the Coldlight Pearl!
"Yes …" Ya Qing was slightly hesitant as she said, "But this Coldlight Pearl is … in the possession of the Young Master, and it's a precious treasure of the Cloud Riding Race."
Yes, Ya Qing wasn't stupid, and it was impossible for her to not know the significance of the Coldlight Pearl. It was even to the extent that her ability to become a Heavenly King Realm expert was greatly related to this Coldlight Pearl. If she didn't have this Coldlight Pearl, it was very likely that the future of the Cloud Riding Race would be affected.
"So?" Lu An didn't care and said indifferently, "Besides the Coldlight Pearl, your Cloud Riding Star doesn't have any other treasure that's worthy of my attention. I've only come to look for someone, and I'm not interested in anything else. If you're unable to obtain the Coldlight Pearl, then this matter will end. Don't continue wasting my time. "
"…"
Ya Qing looked at the ferocious appearance of the madman before her. Actually, even standing here required courage. Perhaps it didn't match her vanity, but she was indeed a woman with courage and knowledge. Actually, she'd thought about the problem of the Coldlight Pearl many times. One was even unable to rely on external help to advance from the Normal Realm to the Heaven Realm, and one could only rely on one's own comprehension. So how could the Coldlight Pearl possibly help one advance from the Heaven Realm to the Heavenly King Realm?
This was something that she'd always been puzzled about. If it was really like this, then why didn't the clans of the other stars come to seize it? If the Coldlight Pearl was able to greatly increase the probability of breaking through, then the great clans of the universe would have come to seize it long ago. After all, no one would dislike having more Heavenly King Realm experts, even if it was the Hachiko clan. In the eyes of the Hachiko clan, the Cloud Riding Race was nothing, so why didn't they seize it?
Ya Qing didn't think that the Coldlight Pearl was really as helpful as the rumors said. If her inference was correct, then when comparing a treasure that was only slightly better with her lifetime status, truthfully speaking … she was still more willing to choose the latter!
She didn't believe that the strength of the Cloud Riding Race would change because of a Coldlight Pearl, but her entire life would change because of it. Her life had just begun, and she still had a very long time in her life. She didn't want to spend the rest of her life regretting the decision she made today after the Madman Race left!
Thus, Ya Qing gritted her teeth and suddenly raised her head to look at Lu An. "Alright! I'll get the Coldlight Pearl for you! "
Success!
Lu An was delighted in his heart, yet his expression remained unchanged as he asked. "Are you sure you've thought it through?"
"I'll naturally think it through!" Ya Qing's voice was slightly ruthless as she said, "But I'll say it in advance. I might not be able to obtain this Coldlight Pearl by myself, and it's very likely that I'll need your help!"
"Me?" Lu An said, "The Cloud Riding Race's patriarch is in the Imperial Capital, so wouldn't I be courting death if I were to make a move?"
"The Cloud Riding Race's patriarch often goes out, so I'll find a suitable opportunity!" Ya Qing said immediately.
Lu An pondered for two breaths of time before nodding when he heard this, and then he said coldly, "But you have to be quick. I'll leave after your merchant group helps me find the person, and you only have this period of time."
"Alright!" Ya Qing said immediately, "I'll be quick!"
"Since it's like this, I'll wait here for your news." Lu An walked to the side and sat down as he said, "You can leave if there's nothing else."
Lu An asked her to leave once more, causing Ya Qing's heart to constrict. Even if she had other things to say in her heart, she didn't dare say anything and could only turn around and leave.
Ya Qing vanished from Lu An's perception. Within the Imperial Capital, Lu An didn't dare release his perception too much, otherwise, it would draw the attention and suspicion of others. Moreover, as the woman that the Young Lord doted on the most, it was indeed very easy for this woman to obtain information related to the Coldlight Pearl. So long as this woman was able to confirm where the Coldlight Pearl was hidden, then everything after this would be much easier.

In the Heavenly Star River, on an extremely remote star that was extremely far away from the Immortal Star.
This star was extremely inconspicuous and didn't have any signs of life, but there were a few buildings there. In one of the buildings, some people were sitting there and discussing something, and especially when one of them said something.
"Demon Calamity Water?" One of them asked Fierce Tiger. "You said someone wants to buy Demon Calamity Water today?"
"Yes." Fierce Tiger nodded and said, "This person was asking around and was later introduced to me. I was very surprised as well."
"Who is he?" This person asked again, "Why does he want Demon Calamity Water?"
"It's the Madman Tribe." Fierce Tiger said, "He didn't say, and according to the rules, I can't ask too much. I sold it to him as well. According to your conditions, I asked him to bring the Coldlight Pearl or Lonemoon's head. "
The reason Fierce Tiger proposed these two choices was precisely because these two choices were arranged by the person who spoke. The reason he listened to this person's arrangement was because this person was the one who discovered the Demon Calamity Water.
The Dark Fiend Group was very fair. Whoever discovered something, obtained it, and sold it at a price was completely determined by that person, and no one else would interfere.
"This Madman Tribe should have gone to get the Coldlight Pearl." Fierce Tiger continued, "After all, Lonemoon can teleport and can appear and disappear unpredictably. In comparison, the Coldlight Pearl is on the Cloud Riding Planet, so it's much easier. If this Madman Tribe can really bring the Coldlight Pearl … it can be considered as fulfilling your wish. "
