“Why?” Chu Liuyue looked at the few people in front who had already paid the money and boarded the transportation formation. “All of them can, but why can’t I?”
That guard grunted lightly and revealed a sarcastic smile. “Then, you’ll have to ask yourselves. You offended soone you shouldn’t have, yet you’re asking why?”
Chu Liuyue knitted her brows and instantly understood.?It seems like Lu Yi did it… I had long expected him not to give up, but I didn’t expect his connections to be so widespread that he could directly prevent us from boarding the transportation formations in such a short amount of ti! Logically speaking, these transportation formations should be the Lin family’s. Who exactly is Lu Yi to have such authority??
Chu Liuyue cald down. “I’ll give double the amount.”
That guard didn’t even look up. “Don’t even think about it. We’ll never let you up, so you should just give up!”
“I…”
“Next!”
“Five tis the amount!” Chu Liuyue stepped forward. “If five tis the amount isn’t enough, I’ll give you ten-fold!”
The surrounding crowd fell silent, and they all looked over with different gazes. “How generous! She’s actually going to give ten tis the amount? Does she know how much it costs to take the transportation formation once? How dare she say such a thing?”
“She seems kind of familiar… Hm? I think they’re the two people that just entered the city today! That child has purple hair and purple eyes. Isn’t that them?”
“That’s right! That’s right! I also heard that it’s them!”
“It seems like they’ve really offended soone… They’re going to have a really hard ti in Grotto-Heaven Cliff now.”
The crowd partook in heated discussions.
Chu Liuyue’s heart sank slightly.
As expected, the guard opposite shrugged his shoulders without much smiling intent. “I said that there’s no use no matter how much money you offer! If you have the ti, you should quickly apologize to him lest you end up in big trouble in the end!”
Then, he waved toward the people at the back. “The people behind, why are you still in a daze? Do you want to take the transportation formation? How slow!”
The people behind Chu Liuyue hurried forward and forcefully pushed her away. “Coming! Coming!”
Chu Liuyue retracted two steps back and instinctively pulled Dugu Mobao behind her to protect him. She stood rooted to the spot for a while before turning around to leave. “Let’s try the other transportation formation.”
…
The outco was as expected—the other transportation formation’s guard persistently rejected Chu Liuyue.
The remaining three third-grade transportation formations were also the sa. This ant that Chu Liuyue and Dugu Mobao had no ans of leaving here to go to another place at all.
It was nightti in the blink of an eye.
Chu Liuyue found an inn to rest, but she couldn’t sleep in peace. “It seems like this Lu Yi has an extraordinary status…”
He has even more thods than I had initially predicted! He can even be considered as the underground boss since he can go to this extent!?
“He must be related to the Lin family.” Dugu Mobao sat on the chair and said lightly, “All the clans are in charge of the transportation formations in their territory. On the one hand, building such a transportation formation requires many warriors to work together. On the other hand, the maintenance cost is also very high, so they send people to guard the transportation formations and collect money from the people coming to and fro. This is to maintain their profits.”
“Normally, they won’t go against money. So since he can command these guards and tell them to persistently stop us from boarding the transportation formation, it ans that he is soone of extraordinary background.”
Chu Liuyue fell silent.
Knock, knock.
Knocks were heard from outside.
Chu Liuyue went to open the door, and the pageboy brought a letter over. “Guest, your letter.”
Whose letter could I receive in such a place??Chu Liuyue already had a guess in her heart as she directly tore it open. Then, she quickly read it: “If you’ve thought it through, you can personally co to the Lu Mansion and kowtow to apologize.”
The handwriting was bold and ssy, and the tone was high and mighty. There was no sign-off, but it wasn’t hard to guess that this was Lu Yi’s letter.
Chu Liuyue’s gaze turned slightly cold as she called the pageboy that was about to leave. “Hold it there.”
That pageboy turned around. “Guest, do you have any other instructions?”
Chu Liuyue waved the letter in her hands. “Who is this Lu Yi?”
Nervousness flashed across the pageboy’s face.
Chu Liuyue directly threw a bag over. “If you can say it clearly, there’s still more.”
Even though the pageboy was scared, he thought about it for a while, and his gaze showed so temptation. “The reason why this person is rather famous in Grotto-Heaven Cliff is due to… his elder sister.”
Chu Liuyue threw another bag over. “Continue.”
…
Money made the world go round.
After Chu Liuyue’s generous offers, she indeed found out quite a bit from the pageboy.
It turned out that Lu Yi’s biological sister, Lu Yu’er, was the current mistress of the Lin family.
Lu Yu’er originally had an average background, but she flew to the sky ever since she got involved with the Lin family. This caused the entire Lu family to be in the spotlight as well.
Lu Yi was her only biological brother, so she always doted on him and allowed him to be so arrogant and unreasonable.
Originally, his cultivation talent wasn’t particularly outstanding. He depended on Lu Yu’er—who went everywhere to find and use up many good things on him—finally pushing him to the demigod realm.
However, Lu Yi was a natural troublemaker; with this backer, he didn’t care about the others. Normally, he would snatch other people’s treasures for fun.
Quite a few people in Grotto-Heaven Cliff had suffered from him, but they didn’t dare to speak even though they were angry. After all, the entire Grotto-Heaven Cliff was the Lin family’s. Who would dare to fight with them?
As for an itinerant cultivator that ca from outside like Chu Liuyue, he bullied them even more harshly.
He was enraged by Chu Liuyue this ti, so he harshly blocked her from all the transportation formations! He was clearly forcing the latter to bow down to him, forcing her to the point of no return!
Before the pageboy left, he didn’t forget to advise Chu Liuyue to beg for rcy earlier. If not, she would have a hard ti during her days in Grotto-Heaven Cliff.
Chu Liuyue didn’t doubt it. When there was nobody in the room, she directly burned that letter.
“He wants to kowtow to him and apologize? He does think he’s sobody!” Chu Liuyue sneered.?At Ancient Phoenix Mountain back then, I didn’t even give in when I t with the Beiming Ancestor, let alone a useless aristocratic child.?
Dugu Mobao looked up slightly, and his pretty, demonic purple eyes glowed with faint light. “Do you want to do sothing?”
Chu Liuyue shook her head. “No need. I have my own ways of taking care of him.”
She knew that Dugu Mobao had his own considerations. Even though she didn’t know exactly what they were, she didn’t wish to trouble him unless she needed to.
“What ways?” Dugu Mobao knitted his brows slightly. “You’re definitely not his match alone.”
Chu Liuyue’s lips curled up. “He has a backer, so won’t us finding a stronger backer do the trick then?”
