Chapter 607: Going Through the Front Door
Five days later, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue received the soul-cleansing pills.
"Two mid-grade and one high grade." Jiang Yue said and nodded in satisfaction.
"Alchemist Gu is quite honest."
"Mmmh." Yu Nianzhen agreed.
"Azhen, I think we should go through the front door."
Originally, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue planned to sneak into the city lord’s residence.
After all, the protective formation was only at the sixth level.
With his illusion eyes and formation mastery, Jiang Yue could easily lead them into the residence without alerting the city lord.
However, when Jiang Yue thought about it, he felt this was not a good idea.
"Fang Ye was targeted and poisoned through someone’s plot. If we secretly cure him, the culprit will likely search for whoever helped Fang Ye. If we are not careful, we may implicate innocent people."
"You are right." Yu Nianzhen agreed.
"You and I are not afraid of the Fang family. Even if we reveal our identity, they can’t do anything to us."
"Exactly." Jiang Yue said.
After that, the two walked to the city lord’s residence and arrived half an hour later.
There were five guards at the entrance.
One guard was at the peak of the qi transformation realm, and the other four were at varying levels of the origin forging realm.
Seeing the two strangers, a fifth-level origin-forging realm guard came forward.
"Two seniors, do you need something at the city lord’s residence?" The guard asked.
"We have the soul-cleansing pill." Jiang Yue bluntly said.
Hearing this, the five guards were shocked.
Before the fifth level origin forging realm guard could react, the qi transformation realm guard rushed over.
"Two seniors, do you really have the soul-cleansing pill?" He asked.
"We have it." Jiang Yue nodded.
"Is the soul-cleansing pill so easy to get? We won’t believe you if you don’t let us examine the pills." One of the other guards suddenly said.
Hearing this, Jiang Yue smiled, looking at the guard.
"Are you also an alchemist?" He asked.
"Do you know what the soul-cleansing pill looks like?"
"I..." The guard started, but the Qi transformation realm cultivator stopped the person.
"It’s not your place to examine the pills." He said, causing the guard to shrink in fear.
"Two seniors, I will report to the housekeeper. Please wait a moment."
"Good." Jiang Yue said, looking at the guards with interest.
[Who do you think will arrive first..., the housekeeper or someone else?] Jiang Yue transmitted to Yu Nianzhen.
[Probably not the housekeeper.] The swordsman said, and Jiang Yue nodded.
When Jiang Yue mentioned the soul-cleansing pill, several guards used their jade pendants to message someone.
Seeing that, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue knew the next scene would be chaotic.
An incense stick later, a male cultivator arrived at the entrance.
The man was middle-aged, and his cultivation was at the core formation realm.
At a glance, his clothes, boots, and accessories were expensive defensive items.
Even thinking with their toes, Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen knew this person was not the housekeeper.
However, Jiang Yue pretended not to know and smiled at the male cultivator.
"You must be the housekeeper." He said and soon continued.
"My Taoist companion and I have the soul-cleansing pill."
When the words fell, the scene became silent.
The guards were frightened, and the middle-aged cultivator looked ready to throw a fit.
However, he controlled himself and forced a smile.
"This Daoist friend is good at joking. I am not the housekeeper." The man spoke through gritted teeth.
"Not the housekeeper?" Jiang Yue was confused and turned to look at the Qi transformation realm guard.
"This..." The guard was embarrassed but he forced himself to continue.
"Two seniors, this is alchemist Fang Zongsheng. He is a fifth-level alchemist and also the second son of the city lord."
Hearing this, Jiang Yue nodded but still had a confused expression.
"If it isn’t second alchemist Fang." He said and quickly continued.
"We are honoured second alchemist Fang came to greet us."
"These Daoist friends brought the soul-cleansing pill?" Fang Zongsheng asked.
"My Taoist companion and I happened to have the soul cleansing grass and the soul fixing grass. On our way here, we found a level five alchemist to refine the soul-cleansing pill." Jiang Yue smiled but Fang Zongsheng wanted to kill the person.
As the guard introduced, Fang Zongsheng was the second son of city lord Fang.
Compared to his elder brother, his alchemy skills were better.
However, his older brother; Fang Zongming, fathered several good children.
As a result, the city lord didn’t exclude Fang Zongming from his list of successors.
That said, Fang Zongsheng also had a few good children and was not inferior to Fang Zongming.
However, after Fang Ye was born, everything changed.
Thinking of Fang Ye, Fang Zongsheng clenched his hands, his eyes cooled, but his lips were still curled in a smile.
’How scary.’ Jiang Yue thought.
"Daoist friends..." Fang Zongsheng started but a voice interrupted his words.
"Second brother-in-law." A female cultivator called as she walked towards the gate.
’Here comes another one.’ Jiang Yue thought.
"Concubine Qiao." Fang Zongsheng narrowed his eyes.
"I heard the good news and immediately rushed to see." Qiao Mu said in a deceptively calm voice.
However, her eyes were colder than ice, and her smile was stiff.
[What a show.] Jiang Yue praised, and Yu Nianzhen smiled in helplessness.
[There is another one.] He said, and Jiang Yue turned to see an elegant woman walking towards them.
"Eldest sister, I am surprised to see you here." Qiao Mu said.
Hearing this, the so-called eldest sister, smiled with a polite expression.
"XiaoYe is my husband’s youngest child. Since the sixth wife is injured and my husband has gone out, I am responsible for XiaoYe." The woman said.
"Is that so?" Qiao Mu sneered.
’Damn woman! Do you think I don’t know what you are thinking? Don’t you just want to take advantage of the situation to make your son the first heir? Don’t even think about it."
