Su Chen was somewhat taken aback when he saw Huang Ying's serious expression.
Is she really that straightforward?
He knew what predicament Huang Ying was facing, but the key point was that at a time like this, he still wanted to act as her guide, and he wouldn't say anything about that.
He hadn't expected that they would obediently return the Immortal Crystal to him.
Qingluan City is so big, do you really think I'd have to go looking for trouble with her over a few Immortal Crystal after she runs away?
It was Huang Ying's straightforwardness and sincerity that touched Su Chen's heart.
This girl is indeed quite pitiful; she was stuck with such a father, and in the end, she had to sacrifice herself to clean up his mess.
Su Chen didn't reach out to take it; he simply said, "Since it's already agreed upon, then we have to do it properly."
Huang Ying's face stiffened. Just as she was about to say something, Han Xi was beside her, immediately understood and chimed in, "Miss Huang Ying."
Her voice was somewhat serious, and at the same time, she released an extremely powerful pressure from her body, which immediately made Huang Ying feel a sense of dread.
She had never realized before that the little Maid beside Su Chen possessed such formidable strength. Even a mere wisp of her aura made her feel like an Ant facing a mountain.
So small, so helpless!
Han Xi said in a somewhat cold voice, "Do you think my Family Head is someone I can toy with at will?"
Huang Ying's expression changed immediately. Her interactions with Su Chen and Han Xi were very easy to get along with, but now Han Xi gave her a different impression.
Moreover, she hadn't expected that the two people she was hosting were so exceptionally capable.
The aura emanating from Han Xi was at least at the level of Immortal King, but unfortunately, her strength was too low to see through her true Cultivation Level.
Only then did she realize the seriousness of the problem.
If she left now, she might offend Su Chen, who might then kill her.
Although Qingluan City is more harmonious than other places, the City Lord's Mansion has very loose control over the city. Basically, as long as you are not seen by the Hu Weibing, they will not care.
Moreover, they only care about those with weaker Cultivation Level; they simply ignore those with a bit of background or powerful cultivation.
After all, the immortal Immortal Realm is still dominated by the law of the jungle.
Huang Ying looked somewhat helpless. The reason she left at this time was that she didn't want Su Chen and the other person to see her predicament, and she wanted to save face.
Moreover, she had thought it through, and this evening she would try to find a way to escape.
Since the end result is the same—being taken to Xiangfeng Tower —I might as well struggle and maybe manage to escape.
Huang Ying also felt that it was unlikely that the Wang Family would send someone to specifically watch over her.
After hesitating for a moment, Huang Ying finally said helplessly, "It was my daughter who was presumptuous."
If she continues to act as Su Chen's guide, it means her escape plan for tonight may fail. If they are weak, she will still have a chance to leave.
However, judging from Han Xi's aura just now, it's clear that this isn't the case.
Both of them are quite influential.
On the other side, Han Xi winked at Su Chen subtly.
She was someone who understood Su Chen quite well; after all, among all the women of Wangyun Mountain, Han Xi was the first to follow Su Chen.
Therefore, they knew that Su Chen's actions were intended to protect Huang Ying.
Su Chen smiled and shook his head. He didn't say anything more, but simply asked, "Are there any other interesting things in Qingluan City?"
Huang Ying quickly composed herself and began to think about the more interesting things in the city.
There's no way to resist the Wang Family's actions, and I guess I can't refuse the guide job either.
She quickly looked up.
"There really is one. The Hundred Birds Tower in the west of the city is holding a grand gathering these days."
Huang Ying knew that Su Chen didn't know about the White Bird Tower, so she explained, "The White Bird Tower is a grand event that Qingluan City has been holding for a long time. At that time, beauties from the entire Qingluan City, and even the surrounding cities and forces, will come, so it is always a very lively event."
"This conference doesn't restrict anyone; anyone who is confident in their appearance can participate."
"The process of the competition is that everyone votes for the woman they like. Of course, voting also consumes Immortal Crystal, which we call 'Stone Hanging.' The person with the most Stone Hanging at the end wins."
"The organizers behind the event are the City Lord's Mansion of Qingluan City. They offer generous rewards, so many people attend each time. Almost Top Ten Beauties of Kaiming County also come."
Huang Ying gave a detailed introduction, explaining the ins and outs of the White Bird Tower to Su Chen.
Because this convention was held many years ago and has attracted many people, many women have come to regard it as a source of pride.
Therefore, there are always a lot of people coming.
With beautiful women around, it's no wonder they attract so many people.
Su Chen showed interest after hearing Huang Ying's words. He might not have been interested in other things.
But when it comes to beautiful women, he's wide awake!
Su Chen no longer has much interest in power. His current Cultivation Level is too high, and he can easily obtain even the highest level of power.
Therefore, his desires are not strong now.
In contrast, Su Chen was quite interested in looking at beautiful women.
He hopes he can maintain this level and still find things that interest him, which is already quite remarkable.
"Alright, let's go check out the Hundred Birds Tower and see what's going on."
Su Chen headed towards the White Bird Tower, a place that was usually in the suburbs and rarely visited, but today it was packed with people.
As far as the eye could see, there were heads everywhere, densely packed together.
In the distance, a huge pavilion stood there, with colorful flags fluttering and the words "Hundred Birds" written on it in a flamboyant and elegant style, extremely eye-catching.
Upon closer inspection, it even seemed to come alive, with faint fluctuations of an Immortal Emperor emanating from within.
The person who carved these words must be the Lord of Qingluan City.
Huang Ying continued, "My lord, this is the outer perimeter of the White Bird Tower. There are places available in the inner perimeter, but they all require Immortal Crystal, and the prices are extremely high, even much higher than those of the Nine Phoenix Pavilion."
"Oh? Tell me about it."
Su Chen asked curiously, wanting to see just how expensive it could be.
Having interacted with Su Chen for the past few days, Huang Ying knew he was a wealthy man, so she immediately began to explain, "These seats are divided into many grades. The first three rows alone cost at least 100,000 top-grade Immortal Crystal."
"From the third row onwards, up to the tenth row, that's 70,000 top-grade Immortal Crystal."
"And then..."
Her voice continued, and Su Chen understood what she meant.
There are a total of 100 levels of positions. The first three levels are more sparse, with only 20 positions on each level, and the number of positions Yuelai as you go on.
