Ch 198: Presenting Treasures

“Uncle Mingyi!”, Lin Yu and Hua Kong pushed open the door and entered the study. After passing through the small reception hall, Zhao Mingyi was sitting behind the desk in the study. Lin Yu and Hua Kong hurried forward to greet him.

However, the two did not see the temperamental girl, presumably she had gone into the innermost small room. This kind of study usually has a small reception hall, a bookshelf room for placing books, and a side hall for reading. There is usually a hidden small room for quiet cultivation inside.

“Xiao Yu, Xiao Kong are here! Sit down!”, Zhao Mingyi said lightly, pointing to the two chairs next to the desk.

“Okay! Okay!”, Lin Yu and Hua Kong pulled up chairs and sat down.

“Xiao Yu, Xiao Kong, what brings you to me?”, Zhao Mingyi asked with a smile that was not a smile.

“Hehe… Uncle Mingyi, I’m sorry! I didn’t know your daughter also wanted this treasure, otherwise we wouldn’t have participated in the auction!”, Lin Yu said, taking out the imitation Immortal King Golden Staff he had just bid for and handing it to Zhao Mingyi.

“Haha… It’s okay! Yuan Duo, that little girl, is just making trouble! You can keep this! You are the closest person to Xiangzi, and this can be used to protect her!”, Zhao Mingyi waved his hand and refused.

“This…”, Lin Yu was embarrassed, he and Hua Kong decided to bid for this treasure to increase their ability to protect themselves.

“Why don’t we let Yun Duo sister play with it for a while!”, Hua Kong suggested.

“Well… alright! alright!”, Zhao Mingyi agreed after thinking for a while.

Yun Duo is one of the children he had with women he found privately, and she is the youngest. Zhao Mingyi has always been very fond of her. As he doted on her, this girl grew up and became the willful girl she is now.

In fact, what this girl has always wanted to play with is the real Immortal King Golden Staff. How could he give it to her? But she kept pestering him, so Zhao Mingyi gave her a large sum of Light Stones and asked her to bid for the imitation, but Lin Yu intercepted it.

“Uncle Mingyi! Here!”, Lin Yu held the imitation Immortal King Golden Staff in his hands and presented it to Zhao Mingyi.

“Okay! Thank you! I’ll return it to you when that girl is done playing!”, Zhao Mingyi said gratefully.

“It’s okay! It’s okay!”, Lin Yu said, but his heart was bleeding. This is not a pot of wine, nor a pound of meat!

“Why don’t you sit for a while, and we’ll all have a drink later!”, Zhao Mingyi said politely.

“No! No! Xiao Kong and I promised Brother Jin Tong that we would go to Drunken Fragrance Pavilion to pick him up later!”, Remembering the agreement before Bai Jintong left, Lin Yu could only refuse.

“Jin Tong!? He really took Miao Zi!?”, Zhao Mingyi was a little shocked. How could he not know anything about what happened on his own territory? He just thought someone had made a mistake.

“Yes! Brother Jin Tong is so lucky! Miss Miao Zi is both beautiful and talented!”, Lin Yu praised.

“Indeed not bad! Then you guys are busy!”, Zhao Mingyi no longer tried to keep them.

“Uncle Mingyi! Farewell!”, Lin Yu and Hua Kong bid farewell and left. In fact, Lin Yu had already made up his mind that even if there was nothing to do, he would find an excuse to come out. He could feel that the Zhao family didn’t really look up to him, they just thought he wasn’t too embarrassing. But Lin Yu didn’t have time to worry about these things. It’s good enough to have someone to rely on to shield him from the wind and rain!

However, Bai Jintong did ask them to pick him up at Drunken Fragrance Pavilion in the evening before he left. Bai Jintong wanted to have a drink with a few people, after all, it was a happy thing to take in a beauty like Miao Zi, so Lin Yu didn’t need to lie. Lin Yu and Hua Kong left the City Lord’s Mansion and came to the street of Drunken Fragrance Pavilion again.

It was already late, but the street was still lively. The two sat in the rented carriage, silent all the way. They were still a little unwilling in their hearts. Such a large sum of Light Stones was spent, but it ended up being nothing. Who knew when that little girl would be done playing? What if she never got tired of it?

It’s just that the situation is stronger than people. Zhao Mingyi is considered to be relatively shrewd and capable in the Zhao family, and is deeply valued by the clan. There is a reason why the Zhao family let Zhao Mingyi control such a treasure as the Immortal King Golden Staff, so even if he is an illegitimate son without a title in the clan, Lin Yu doesn’t want to provoke him.

What’s more, Zhao Mingyi has taken good care of him and Zhao Xiangzi along the way. He doesn’t want to do such selfish things that make him unhappy.

And Hua Kong felt even more uncomfortable. An important reason why he agreed to auction this imitation Immortal King Golden Staff was that he hoped to study this treasure to see if he had any possibility of imitating it. Now it has become a pipe dream.

The two quickly arrived at the entrance of Drunken Fragrance Pavilion in a carriage, but they did not go in. They just asked the shop assistant at the door to pass a message to Bai Jintong, telling him that the two had arrived.

Bai Jintong took the message and glanced at it. He didn’t invite the two up. He had been flirting with the Yingying Yanyan who came out of these brothels all night. Most of these women were quite good-looking, but their style was really a bit unrestrained. Miao Zi was still here, and these women came to seduce him.

If Lin Yu and Hua Kong were called up, who knows how they would act up. If Lin Yu and Hua Kong appeared with these people now, it would definitely be spread out with embellishments, so Bai Jintong decided to let the two wait for a while.

Finally, after another half an hour, they finally made enough noise and walked out of Drunken Fragrance Pavilion, staggering. After they all left, Bai Jintong took Miao Zi to the carriage rented by Lin Yu and Hua Kong.

“Brother Jintong! Sister Miaozi!”, Lin Yu and Hua Kong greeted as they approached.

“Hehe! Xiao Yu, Xiao Kong!”, People are refreshed when they are in a good mood, Bai Jintong’s fat face is flushed with alcohol.

“Brother Yu! Brother Kong!”, Miao Zi bowed her body as a greeting. At this time, she had changed into light clothes, her figure was tall and slender, and she looked especially charming on the dimly lit street.

“Let’s go! Find a clean little shop! Let’s have a drink!”, Bai Jintong put his arm around Miao Zi’s waist and said with a grin.

“Okay! Let’s get in the car!”, Lin Yu said, and the four quickly entered the car.

“Master, find a small, elegant and quiet tavern nearby!”, Hua Kong pulled open the car curtain and said to the man driving the car.

“Okay! Masters and Madams, sit tight!”, The man drove the car, thinking about which store would be better to go to.

Along the way, Miao Zi whispered to Bai Jintong, while Lin Yu and Hua Kong pretended to close their eyes and rest. Fortunately, the carriage only drove for the time it takes to burn an incense stick before stopping in front of a small tavern. It didn’t have the lively luxury of Drunken Fragrance Pavilion, but from the delicate potted flowers in front of the door, it did meet Bai Jintong’s requirements.

“Here you are!”, Hua Kong took out a Light Stone and paid it to the man driving the car.

“Master! This is too much! I don’t have so many Broken Light Stones to give you! Do you have some cheaper Moyu Stones or Golden Light Stones?”, the coachman said embarrassedly.

“No need to look for it! The rest is a reward for you!”, Hua Kong said.

“Ah!? Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!”, the coachman was grateful and thanked him non-stop.

“Xiao Kong is so generous today!?”, Bai Jintong asked suspiciously. Hiring these big cars for a day only costs five Moyu Stones or Golden Light Stones. Hua Kong has a lot of mined Golden Light Stones, how could he not have Golden Light Stones?

“Haha! I’m just spending money to hear a sound!”, Hua Kong said with a wry smile.

“What’s wrong?”, Bai Jintong then realized that Lin Yu and Hua Kong were not in high spirits.

“Let’s go in and talk!”, Lin Yu didn’t want to say more, so he walked into the small tavern.

The shop assistant greeted them, and the four asked for a private room. The shop assistant led the two to the private room on the second floor.

It was late, and there were not many customers in the small shop. The four ordered some side dishes to drink with, and Lin Yu told Bai Jintong about what happened at the auction today.

When Lin Yu said that he had returned the imitation Immortal King Golden Staff, which he had bought at a high price, to Zhao Mingyi, not only did Miao Zi’s eyes widen, but even Bai Jintong stared blankly without saying a word.

“Are you crazy!? What do you care about that stinky girl? What is she?”, Bai Jintong said speechlessly.

“Hey! We just don’t want to make Uncle Mingyi embarrassed!”, Hua Kong said.

“So you gave a treasure worth nearly 100 million Light Stones to that stinky girl!?”, Bai Jintong was speechless. He, who had climbed up from the bottom of a big family, always knew that resources had to be snatched, how could anyone give them away like this?

“Hey~~ It’s all my fault!”, Lin Yu said self-reproachfully.

“No! I also think we shouldn’t owe Uncle Mingyi any favors!”, Hua Kong explained.

“That’s what you auctioned for! You don’t owe anyone!”, Bai Jintong was speechless.

“Next time there is such a thing, you still have to discuss it with Brother Tong!”, Miao Zi said to the two, pulling Bai Jintong.

“No way… I have to get that treasure back tomorrow!”, Bai Jintong stood up angrily.

“Brother Jintong! Isn’t that good!”, Lin Yu, who had always been brave and bold, now had some hesitation.

“Don’t worry about it, I’m not as reckless as you!”, Bai Jintong was rarely a little angry.

Knowing this, Bai Jintong completely lost his interest in drinking. He hurriedly paid the bill and took the three back to the City Lord’s Mansion. It was late, and most of the people in the City Lord’s Mansion had gone to sleep, leaving only the patrolling soldiers walking back and forth. Seeing Bai Jintong and the others, they naturally did not stop them.

Lin Yu and Hua Kong returned to the guest room. Zhao Xiangzi and Bai Jinzhu had already fallen asleep, so the two did not disturb them and went to the meditation room to meditate all night.

And Bai Jintong, who had just obtained a beauty, naturally wanted to taste it. He pulled Miao Zi and made love, tossing and turning until late at night before stopping.

The next morning, Bai Jintong got up early. Seeing that Miao Zi was still resting, he got up and asked the servants about the residence of Zhao Yunduo, that little girl, and ran over immediately.

But Zhao Yunduo lived in the backyard of the City Lord’s Mansion, which belonged to the inner courtyard, and outsiders were not allowed to enter. But Bai Jintong didn’t care about this. He stopped a maid at the entrance of the courtyard and asked about Zhao Mingyi’s whereabouts.

“Where is Uncle Mingyi? Has he gotten up yet!?”, Zhao Mingyi asked.

“Who are you?”, the maid was startled by Bai Jintong, but she still asked calmly.

“I am Bai Jintong, I have something to talk to Uncle Mingyi!”, Bai Jintong replied.

“So it’s Young Master Bai! The Master is meditating in the quiet room! He will come out for breakfast later!”, the maid had never heard of Bai Jintong’s name, but she knew Bai Jinzhu. Hearing that the two names were so similar, she thought they were guests of Miss Zhao Xiangzi.

“Okay! I’ll wait here!”, Bai Jintong didn’t say anything more and honestly guarded the gate of the inner courtyard.

Taking advantage of this effort, Bai Jintong took out some gold used by mortals from the Storage Ring, put it in his hand, and in a flash, a wisp of Realm Lord True Fire was spit out from his mouth, softening the gold. He rubbed it into the shape of the Immortal King Golden Staff for a while, and a pure gold fake Immortal King Golden Staff was made. At this time, Zhao Mingyi’s voice happened to come from the courtyard gate.

“Jintong! So early!”, Zhao Mingyi was a little dumbfounded and pulled open the courtyard door from the inside.

“How can I not be early? Those two boys are too childish! They took such a treasure out as a toy! I was almost pissed off!”, Bai Jintong said, gritting his teeth.

“It’s not their fault, everyone is a family, so naturally they have to take care of each other. Unlike you, you only know treasures!”, Zhao Mingyi walked out of the door, and with a flip of his hand, the imitation Immortal King Golden Staff that Lin Yu and Hua Kong had just bought yesterday was taken out.

“What’s wrong? Didn’t you give it to Yunduo, that girl?”, Bai Jintong was about to hand over the golden “Immortal King Golden Staff” in his hand.

“I let her play with it for a while! She just started cultivating, how could she understand it! She returned it to me!”, Zhao Mingyi said with a smile.

“Then do you still want this?”, Bai Jintong said, holding up the pure gold Immortal King Golden Staff he had made by hand.

“Give it to me! One thing for another!”, Zhao Mingyi thought that if that girl thought of this matter again one day, he would take this Immortal King Golden Staff made by Bai Jintong to deal with her.
