Chapter 1755: Chapter 1755 Misunderstanding
Ye Liuyun had long obtained information from the divine souls of those ruffians. The indenture contracts of these blue-clad shop attendants were all held in the office of the lord’s mansion on the third floor of the trading center. Without these indenture contracts, they couldn’t leave the trading center at all.
Ye Liuyun had thoroughly investigated the entire trading center this afternoon.
There were over two hundred guards at the second level stationed throughout the center.
The office of the city lord on the third floor was also guarded by two martial practitioners at the third level.
However, the Mystique Mart headquarters on the third floor had another martial practitioner at the quadruple-realm level, whose identity Ye Liuyun was unaware of.
These numbers didn’t include ordinary patrol teams and the high-level martial practitioners within each mart.
He knew there was no way to take advantage of the marts. The strength here was too formidable.
With Lan Xin, a mere first level martial practitioner, it was even less likely for her to escape.
"Then, Mr. Ye, please wait a moment. I’ll be right back!" Lan Xin smiled and agreed, immediately going to procure items for Ye Liuyun.
Her speed this time was quite fast, and she returned in no time. That was because everything on Ye Liuyun’s list was very detailed.
Lan Xin handed over the items and reported to Ye Liuyun, "There are still one hundred and thirty-six thousand, one hundred Alora Crystals remaining. Please check, Mr. Ye!"
Lan Xin looked at Ye Liuyun expectantly, estimating that a knowledgeable person like him would at least reward her with a couple thousand Divine Crystals, not to mention her running around all day.
Now, all the attendants in the center knew that Lan Xin had received a big client. Just by seeing her running around and trading large amounts of resources, they knew she would not make a small profit.
So, if she didn’t earn at least one or two thousand crystals, she would feel incompetent and couldn’t face her sisters.
Unexpectedly, after Ye Liuyun accepted the items, he didn’t reach for the crystals.
"It’s all yours!" Ye Liuyun said indifferently.
"Huh?" Lan Xin was stunned, thinking she had heard wrong.
Giving rewards to attendants was not done like this.
Attendants could already earn commissions from transactions. With Ye Liuyun trading so many items, she could have earned at least tens of thousands of Alora Crystals.
Yet Ye Liuyun was giving her over a hundred thousand Alora Crystals all at once.
She could make as much in commissions today as she would in several months. If these were really for her, she could rest for one or two years!
Ye Liuyun also smiled and said, "Miss Lan, you’ve been so helpful to me, how could I not know? Take them!"
"This..." Lan Xin confirmed that she hadn’t misheard earlier; Ye Liuyun really intended to give her all those Alora Crystals.
"Thank you, Mr. Ye!" Overjoyed, Lan Xin hugged Ye Liuyun and kissed him on the cheek!
Ye Liuyun’s face turned red from her actions. He could only find an excuse to push Lan Xin away and said, "Miss Lan, there’s no need to be so excited. It’s what you deserve! But don’t leave yet, I have something else to discuss!"
Lan Xin was a bit embarrassed now, realizing she had been too excited just now.
But when Ye Liuyun said it was what she "deserved" and asked her not to leave yet, she misunderstood Ye Liuyun’s intentions.
Although she had encountered all sorts of people here, she had always kept herself pure.
She mistakenly thought Ye Liuyun wanted her to stay for intimate purposes.
She looked at Ye Liuyun, who was quite good-looking and capable at a young age. Importantly, he had money!
Lan Xin also knew that those in her profession could never escape this fate.
Although she occasionally had physical contact with customers and sometimes acted coquettishly to attract their attention, it was all to make a living.
"Since it’s going to someone anyway, it’s not bad to give it to him for the first time! Maybe if he’s happy, he’ll give me another big reward. When I have enough money, I can redeem myself and flee far away from this place of troubles!"
Thinking of this, Lan Xin shyly lowered her head and said softly, "I’ll follow your orders, Mr. Ye. Could I... go bathe and change first? It’s my first time... I’m a bit nervous!"
Ye Liuyun was also surprised but saw her expression and immediately realized she had misunderstood him.
So he hurriedly explained, "Miss Lan, please don’t misunderstand! I just have some things to ask you. How could I ask for your body just for that little money?"
"Huh?" Lan Xin blushed with embarrassment, wishing she could find a hole to hide in.
Ye Liuyun was also embarrassed and didn’t know what to say for a moment.
He had been so generous with Lan Xin to make her do her best for him and to have her tell him the detailed situation of the forces here, making it easier for him to find his target.
He hadn’t expected Lan Xin to misunderstand it as something romantic.
Lan Xin quickly calmed down. After all, she had experienced many things.
"Sorry, Mr. Ye, I misunderstood you! Will you look down on me for this? I’m really not that kind of woman, but sometimes, to deal with customers, I have to be more open-minded."
Lan Xin explained to Ye Liuyun, fearing that he would no longer let her follow him.
Ye Liuyun was going to stay here for a month, and she had plenty of opportunities to make money. For her, it was better if Ye Liuyun didn’t have other intentions.
"Well, I understand your difficulties," Ye Liuyun also said.
In fact, he didn’t care much about Lan Xin. Like her, he was just trying to gain more resources.
After the atmosphere between them eased a bit, Lan Xin took the initiative to ask Ye Liuyun, "Mr. Ye, you said you had something to ask me earlier? Feel free to ask, I’ll tell you everything I know!"
Ye Liuyun took out the map of the Golden Gate and began to inquire about the situation of various forces from Lan Xin.
Although Lan Xin had never left the center, she was familiar with the distribution of power here, including which forces were where, how strong they were, and even some specific individuals, all of which she knew well.
She even knew about some bandit forces outside the city, where there were feral beasts, she could detail them one by one to him.
Ye Liuyun also marked the map in detail as he listened.
She also vaguely felt that Ye Liuyun had grand ambitions.
Out of professional habit, she would not inquire about what Ye Liuyun was going to do. Even if Ye Liuyun wanted to overthrow the Golden Gate, it was none of her business.
She would absolutely not reveal Ye Liuyun’s information to others. That would only invite disaster.
After Ye Liuyun had collected all the information, he allowed Lan Xin to leave.
And he didn’t bother to ask Lan Xin to keep it a secret, presuming Lan Xin understood the rules.
