Forsaken Immortals

Bai Rouyun was strolling down the streets, her steps very casual, and she seemed unrestrained.

Her peerlessly beautiful face was attracting attention from many people, but while many were ogling at her, no one advanced to her side.

There was a noble and untaintable air around her, keeping everyone at a distance, but a few young scions of noble families were observing her with curiosity.

They were floppy young masters, used to indulge in carnal pleasure, not at all holding back. They were instantly attracted to Bai Rouyun.

"There's a new beauty in town," one of them said with a snicker, his fingers rubbing against each other as they began to sweat in excitement.

"She is indeed high quality," another answered lasciviously.

These floppy scions were all unable to hold back their desire, but when they looked at her, they were slightly hesitant. Not because they had never grabbed a woman on the streets before, but because she seemed so noble. Was she alone?

Bai Rouyun was like a breath of fresh air, her movements fluid like she was floating forward, and she caught everyone's attention. Although she seemed carefree, she had her senses heightened, and everything was under her control.

After strolling down the roads, she headed towards the Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

It was not only the scions who noticed Bai Rouyun, but it was also the people from the Shitian Tower who saw her.

The Thousand Treasure Pavilion had made a drawing of her which had been handed to the other branches of the Shitian Tower.

Now that the woman had appeared again, everyone who belonged to Shitian Tower was observing her too.

Bai Rouyun could sense a lot of people observing her. She was not sure who they were, as she thought that Xue Jingyu would have already canceled his search for her, but he had never gotten around to do so.

When she reached the Thousand Treasure Pavilion, she found that the floor manager instantly went to her side. "Miss!" he called out, shocking Bai Rouyun.

Turning to look at him, she found that he was rushing to her side, his demeanor very humble compared to last time.

The customers on the first floor looked shocked at the floor manager. He was always strutting around full of arrogance, but now he was humbling himself this much.

The scions who had followed her inside the Thousand Treasure Pavilion were also shocked and uncomfortable. Was this woman a big shot?

"Miss, the branch leader in our Thousand Treasure Pavilion, is asking to see you; he has someone he wants to introduce you to."

Hearing this, Bai Rouyun instantly knew that Xue Jingyu had forgotten to tell his men to stop the search for her, so she nodded her head gracefully and accepted the invitation.

Bai Rouyun was led up the stairs to the top floor where the branch leader's office was located.

As they arrived, the floor manager went to knock on the door, and a grunt was heard from within, causing him to open the door and lead Bai Rouyun inside.

"Miss, it is our honor to meet you," the branch leader was immensely polite and went over to greet her.

As they had greeted one another, he went to the wash basin and contacted Xue Jingyu.

As soon as he had contacted Xue Jingyu, the water turned murky before his face appeared in the water.

"My lord, we found the woman who had drawn this before." the branch leader said, and Xue Jingyu was confused. Hadn't he already found her?

Seeing his confusion, the branch leader led Bai Rouyun towards the water basin.

"Your facemask is nice," was the first thing that Xue Jingyu said when he saw her, he was once again proud and arrogant, and Bai Rouyun shook her head and sighed.

"I need some items from the Thousand Treasure Pavilion," she said, "so naturally, I had to disguise myself."

"Why?" Xue Jingyu was curious, but Bai Rouyun shook her head, "My real identity here is not good to use."

Hearing this, Xue Jingyu did not ask any more questions. Instead, he ordered the branch leader, "give her anything she wants, free of charge."

Hearing this, Bai Rouyun's eyes twinkled with excitement. "I can get anything I want?" she asked, and Xue Jingyu suddenly realized that she was a money-grubber. She had always been a money-grubber.

"Don't bankrupt me, but within reason, you can get what you want for free."

"Can I get a slice of the thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng?" Bai Rouyun's eyes were flashing with excitement, and seeing her like this, Xue Jingyue chuckled. "Sure," he said.

"Once upon a time, you even had ten-thousand-year-old Rainbow Glass Lotuses, and now you are so greedy for a single slice of a thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng?"

Hearing their conversation, the Branch Leader was horrified. This woman truly knew Xue Jingyu, and their relationship was so good!

He instantly made a mental note to help her all the time she needed it. This would help him advance in the future.

After knowing that she could be gifted a slice of the blood ginseng, her eyes were sparkling.

"Send her out, I need to talk with you," Xue Jingyu said to the Branch Leader, who quickly let the floor manager take Bai Rouyun away.

"I need you to tell me about Prince Yun's wife," Xue Jingyu said after knowing that Bai Rouyun had left.

Hearing the question, the branch leader was shocked, but he quickly answered as honestly as he could, responding with the exact knowledge he held, including the rumors that had been spread recently.
