Ever since Luo Fu landed in prison, he had experienced what was a life worse than death! Because of Lin Yating"s and his actions, the host for the compet.i.tion was also changed to Hu Po[1], a disciple of another elder.
Hu Po, who was currently cultivating, was disturbed by the sound of footsteps. He lightly furrowed his brows and turned to look at the woman pus.h.i.+ng open the door.
"Lin Yating, why did you come here?" Hu Po coldly asked as impatience slowly crawled onto his face.
Lin Yating overlooked it and gracefully smiled, stepping into the room. "I heard that you will be going outside the city to welcome the Ghost Emperor tomorrow?"
"That"s right," Hu Po had a slight frown, "but what does this have to do with you? Don"t forget, you currently don"t have any status inside the Physician a.s.sociation."
The light in Lin Yating"s eyes flickered before she faintly smiled, "Hu Po, I came here to seek a favor from you! I have a junior sister who really reveres the Ghost Emperor, so tomorrow, I want to let her go with you to meet the Ghost Emperor."
"Lin Yating, I"m afraid I can"t help you. After all, if I helped you, and Master finds out, he definitely won"t spare you!" Hu Po coldly rejected her.
She did not get angry though and continued to say with a smile, "Hu Po, I heard that recently, Elder Ding Ling favors Xuan Feng more? I have a way to help you."
"What way?" asked Hu Po as his heart slightly sunk.
"I possess a five-hundred-year-old ice ginseng. If you gave this ice ginseng to Elder Ding Ling, then he will definitely favor you more from now on. As for me, you only need to do a small favor for me."
Hu Po grew silent. Lin Yating"s words were too enticing, making him unable to reject her as decisively as before.
"Are you certain you only need me to help you with a small favor?"
There was a trace of suspicion in his words. He understood Lin Yating"s personality too much. This woman was very cunning, and he only needed to be slightly careless to fall into her trap.
"I swear that you only need to let my junior sister catch a glimpse of the Ghost Emperor! Because with my junior sister"s strength, she doesn"t have the right to go to the compet.i.tion! I guarantee that she won"t do anything improper, don"t worry," Lin Yating solemnly vowed with a smile on her lips.
Hu Po ground his teeth. "Alright! I"ll believe you once!"
"Senior Brother Hu Po, I will thank you for my junior sister." Lin Yating"s smile deepened, but the moment that she cast her eyes downward, a cold glint flickered in her eyes.
Yun Luofeng, did you think that I wouldn"t have a chance to meet the Ghost Emperor simply because you had the people of the Physician a.s.sociation keep a tight watch on me? You are wrong! As long as I want to leave here, I have thousands of methods!
Thinking of this, Lin Yating turned to leave the room and helped Hu Po close the door as well.
Inside a simple and elegant room, the censer released an intoxicating scent.
Yun Luofeng languidly sat on the wooden chair. Her brows were raised as she looked at Milk Tea, who was squeezing itself inside through the gap of the door. "Are there any movements from Lin Yating?"
"Squeak, squeak," Milk Tea called out twice before saying, "Master, I visited Lin Yating"s room just now and discovered that she was disguising herself."
Disguising herself?
Yun Luofeng started briefly and asked, "Why is she disguising herself? Could it be that she wants to escape?"
No!
According to her personality, Lin Yating would not easily leave the Physician a.s.sociation! After all, the Physician a.s.sociation did not punish her, so why would she be willing to leave?
"I don"t know," Milk Tea"s big, glittering eyes looked up. "After she disguised herself, she removed her make-up and then left the room. Because I wanted to report to Master, I didn"t continue following her."
