This was Ji Yunshang's second time stepping into a Myriad Treasures Sect stronghold. Unlike before, when they had met in the main hall, this time she had been brought to a secluded little courtyard.
Watching the maidservant leading the way ahead, Ji Yunshang narrowed her eyes, her heart brimming with doubts.
After the auction ended, she had begun contacting Bai Yu, hoping he could help her refine another Great Medicine. Yet every message had vanished like a stone sinking into the sea. Bai Yu had ignored her entirely.
The outcome had enraged Ji Yunshang. To save Ji Hao, she had already prepared to negotiate with the Holy Emperor, even willing to relinquish a great deal of her own authority and power in exchange for a single Demon Soul Spirit Transformation Pill.
But just as she was preparing to act, the Myriad Treasures Sect sent word again. Bai Yu wished to see her and asked her to come in secret, because the Myriad Treasures Sect did not want too many people to know about this meeting.
That was how the present scene had come about.
Bai Yu had never done things by any set rules, so Ji Yunshang felt a faint unease. It was the intuition of a Mahayana Realm expert. Yet for the sake of the Great Medicine, after pondering it for a long time, she still came.
"Where are we going?"
The farther in they went, the stronger Ji Yunshang's doubts grew. Looking at the maidservant leading the way, she spoke directly.
"Reporting to Your Excellency, Master Bai's residence is rather secluded. Moreover, the master has recently been refining medicine, and ordinarily cannot be disturbed. However, this servant received orders that if you came looking for him, you were to be brought directly there."
A professional smile rose on
