Madam Yan had always been interested in Lu Li.
The first time they met, she tried to check Lu Li's soul but failed.
At that moment, she knew that Lu Li either had an unusual soul or he had some treasures on him.
Later on, she asked Chief Steward Bai to look into Lu Li's identity, only to find out a big secret.
Back then, she was very suspicious that Lu Li was Lu Renhuang's son. Unfortunately … Lu Li had not awakened the King Kong Bloodline, so she was not sure.
Later, she set up a trap and asked Ming Yu to go and save Lu Li. She wanted to prove that Lu Li was Lu Renhuang's son.
However!
To her disappointment, Lu Li was not the son of Lu Renhuang.
Ming Yu had Lu Renhuang's token in his hand, but it did not light up. She used psychic power to check the jade talisman. It was indeed a jade talisman from a big family.
Lu Renhuang once came to the Thousand-island Lake. Even though she never met him, it was true that Ming Yu was indebted to Lu Renhuang.
Since Ming Yu was sure that Lu Li was not the son of Lu Renhuang, then it must be true.
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment …
Madam Yan was in a bad mood after she came back. When Chief Steward Bai asked her how to deal with Lu Li, she lost her temper.
Therefore, when Liu Yi and the rest went to sell the Blood Caterpillar Fruits, the price dropped and Chief Steward Bai's attitude changed drastically.
From that day on, Madam Yan didn't pay much attention to Lu Li until he came to the Heaven Prison City tonight.
Lu Li walked into the auction house in a fit of pique, which aroused Madam Yan's curiosity. What happened next shocked Madam Yan even more.
The mysterious Ghost Mask had a Space Ring and a treasure that could be used as collateral for 20 million Xuan Crystals. He was spending money like crazy!
Everything made Lu Li more mysterious. Madam Yan was curious and interested in this young man again.
That was why tonight's Bai Emperor Mountain gathering was held.
Twenty million Xuan Crystals was not a big deal, but Lu Li was born in a small tribe. He was bullied since he was little. He was so poor that he had to carry coffins.
When the Liu Family arrived at the Thousand-island Lake, they were poor. Now that the Liu Family had just occupied the Blood Evil Island, there were many things to be done.
Where did Lu Li get the Xuan Crystals to buy an Interspatial Ring? Where did he get the Ghost Mask?
And why did Hunchback Tian suddenly break through?
What treasures did Lu Li rely on to get 20 million Xuan Crystals?
Was he … really Lu Renhuang's son?
Madam Yan wanted to know. She wanted to establish some kind of relationship with this mysterious young man and wanted to help him resolve the resentment between him and Bai Xiashuang. Therefore, she asked if Lu Li would yield.
He didn't expect to get such an answer!
Madam Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This young man was audacious.
He actually dared to tease her again and again?
Was her nickname, the Poisonous Widow, really just used to scare people?
She put away her smile and said seriously, "Lu Li, I have three conditions. If you can agree to them, I will write off all the old scores and you will be a friend of the Bai Family."
Lu Li swirled the cup and said calmly, "I am all ears."
Madam Yan said, "First, the Fire Fairy Lucid Ganoderma and the Netherworld Roots will be sold to us exclusively at twenty thousand each."
Lu Li did some calculations. The price was neither too high nor too low. For example, the 40 Xuan Crystals he brought would be 800,000 Xuan Crystals.
If it was a long-term cooperation, the price would be very good.
Lu Li didn't agree. He asked, "What about the second one?"
"Second, tell me what is the treasure you mortgaged for 20 million Xuan Crystals?
Where did you get it? "
Madam Yan stared at the ring in Lu Li's hand and said with a light smile, "Don't worry. I am just curious. I won't have any designs on your treasure."
Lu Li kept silent for a while and said bluntly, "I came across an opportunity by accident. It is not convenient for me to tell you. But I can tell you what it is. It is a Heaven Serpent Fruit."
"Opportunity?"
Madam Yan kept looking into Lu Li's eyes to make sure that he was not lying. She nodded to herself. So it seemed that the treasures were something that Lu Li came across recently. In other words — they were not left to him by Lu Renhuang.
Madam Yan was a bit disappointed. She thought about it and said, "Lu Li, I have looked into your background. I found that your father's background is very mysterious. Maybe he has a big background. Do you want me to look into it for you?"
While she was talking, Madam Yan kept looking into Lu Li's eyes and face. Lu Li's eyes lit up. He said seriously, "Thank you, Madam. Last time, Lord Ming Yu said that I am his Young Master. I think my identity is not ordinary. Can I really be a disciple of the Lu Family at the Central Plains?
How about … Madam Yan, please send someone to the Central Plains. If I really am a disciple of the Lu Family, I will reward you handsomely in the future. "
Lu Li's words were mixed with lies, but the passion in his eyes could not lie. He really wanted Madam Yan to send someone to the Central Plains.
By then, the Lu Family could send someone to save his father and he could reveal his identity openly.
"You're dreaming …"
Madam Yan rolled her eyes. She was naturally charming, but she was less doubtful. It seemed that Lu Li really was not the son of Lu Renhuang.
Go to the Lu Family at the Central Plains and ask?
She had never thought about it. To go to the Central Plains, she had to take the Teleportation Formations at the three Royal Cities, or take the Ancient Chariot or Iron-armored Ships.
Madam Yan was not qualified enough to use the Teleportation Formations at the three Royal Cities.
Taking the Ancient Chariot or Iron-armored Ships was out of the question. The Central Plains was too far away and the journey would not be peaceful.
The Central Plains was dozens of times larger than the Northern Desert. It would be hard to find the Lu Family at the Central Plains.
At the very least, even if she could find the Lu Family easily, could her people get into the Lu Family's gate?
Madam Yan put this problem aside. She thought about it and said the third condition, "Lu Li, the third condition is that you go to the Tomb of Dragon King with Shuang-er in a month's time.
If you agree to the first condition, I promise you that nobody in the Bai Family will make things difficult for you in the future. "
"Wait!"
Lu Li sensed something was wrong. He waved his hand and said, "A warrior prefers death to humiliation. I have said it. I can bow my head to you, but not to Bai Xiashuang!"
Asking him to go to the Tomb of Dragon King with Bai Xiashuang was clearly sending him to be tortured by Bai Xiashuang.
What could he do with Bai Xiashuang when he was so weak?
Be a servant?
An attendant?
Or a punching bag?
"What's the rush?"
Madam Yan glared at Lu Li and said, "I asked you to go with Shuang-er not to vent her anger for her, but to protect her."
"Are you kidding me?"
Lu Li rolled his eyes. He, a warrior at the later stage of the Spirit Sea Realm, had to protect a warrior at the middle stage of the Soul Pond Realm with Seventh-rank Bloodline?
Was Madam Yan drunk?
What was more, there were so many powerful warriors in the Bai Family. They even had warriors of the Fate Wheel Realm and the Eternal Realm. Why would they need a small fry like him to be a bodyguard?
"I am not kidding."
Madam Yan said seriously, "The Tomb of Dragon King is different from other places. Warriors above the age of 20 cannot go there.
Shuang-er's realm is good and her Bloodline is of a high rank, but she has almost zero practical experience.
Of course, this time, the Family will send a team of disciples below the age of 20. I asked you to go with them, just in case. "
"I will mediate the conflict between you and Shuang-er. I promise that Shuang-er will not make things difficult for you this time.
You only need to go with her and try your best to keep her safe. You don't have to worry about anything else. "
"For the fight at the Tomb of Dragon King, all the young elite disciples of the Fifth-rank Families of the Northern Desert will be sent out.
This is a good chance for you to gain experience. Also … all the treasures you get in there will be yours. "
"Tomb of Dragon King?"
Lu Li found the name familiar. He thought about it and suddenly got an idea. He said, "The purple-gold ancient chariot at the auction seems to be a gift from the Dragon King to his daughter. Is the Tomb of Dragon King the tomb of this Dragon King?"
"Yes!"
