Ransom Yu Ningsheng, one of the Three Great Beauties of the Imperial City, from her indenture?
This was an earth-shattering event that would blow up the entire Imperial City.
And it was happening right now.
Ru Yizhi had already walked out of Jade Viewing Pavilion when he heard the uproar within. He stopped and saw someone hurrying out, then asked, "What major event has happened in Jade Viewing Pavilion?"
"That's a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering event. Someone wants to pay a sky-high price to ransom Yu Ningsheng, one of the Three Great Beauties of the Imperial City."
"Someone wants to ransom Yu Ningsheng?" Even Ru Yizhi was stunned.
Perhaps every man in the Imperial City had entertained such a thought, but no one had ever truly put it into action.
First, ransoming Yu Ningsheng required a sky-high price, one that ordinary people could not afford. Even someone of Ru Yizhi's status, position, and cultivation would find it exceedingly difficult to produce several hundred million Small Coins all at once.
Second, those with the means to ransom Yu Ningsheng were mostly figures at the rank of kings and marquises. Such people treasured their reputations immensely and would not lightly use their name to buy a woman. Besides, at their level, what woman could they not have? Why spend a sky-high price to buy a courtesan? It was not worth it.
Third, even if someone wished to spend a sky-high price to ransom Yu Ningsheng, it still depended on whether Yu Ningsheng herself agreed. If she did not think highly of that person, she would likely rather remain in Jade Viewing Pavilion.
Ru Yizhi's expression became rather colorful. He suddenly developed an intense interest in the person who wanted to ransom Yu Ningsheng, so he turned and went back into Jade Viewing Pavilion.
