Chapter 198: Hurry Home for Money
Without much thought, Mask directly applied the Paper Mask to his face. Then, sensing something, he altered his appearance.
He completely missed the fact that Excellent Choice was blushing and shyly looking down.
The change was not complete; it was only partial. For instance, his face was no longer oval-shaped, but his chin had only widened slightly. The contours of his cheeks were also a bit more defined, no longer as soft as before.
Anyone familiar with Lian Yun's family would recognize that this face resembled his father, Lian Cheng.
As Azure Drift observed Lian Yun's transformation, a spark of realization lit up her eyes. "I just noticed that Young Master Yun has the potential to be quite the beauty!"
Lian Yun felt a wave of confusion wash over him as he recalled some embarrassing past events.
Meng Yixuan seemed to be perceptive as well; her eyes brightened with curiosity. "Could it be that the young master once—"
Lian Yun felt a rush of frustration and exclaimed, "It's all Excellent Choice's fault! Let's not talk about it!"
It seemed that the girls had an unusual interest in this topic; Azure Drift, Meng Yixuan, and even the usually indifferent General paused for a moment.
Lian Yun suddenly felt a great sense of crisis and bowed respectfully. "I hope the seniors, Dream Girl, will not make things difficult for me."
The General casually patted Lian Yun's shoulder with little enthusiasm. Azure Drift and Meng Yixuan expressed their disappointment, while Lan Ruoxuan remained lost in thought and continued walking.
Before long, the five of them reached the seventh floor. Azure Drift turned to those below and announced, "Today I will be going out with Leader and Dream together. The entire hall will activate the defensive formation; any matters will be decided by Rong Mama."
"Wait~~ Is Blue Pavilion Master going to take action personally? Hurry home for money."
"Could it be?"
"Even if it's not, it must be Vice Master Qing who took action. Hurry home to get some money."
"The Blue Pavilion Master hasn't made a move in over ten years. Who knows if their skills have improved or declined? Still, this opportunity is rare, so it's best to go home and fetch some money!"
……………………
Some 'old scholars' commented among themselves as they walked out from the fifth, sixth, and seventh floors, quickly descending the stairs to leave.
It seemed that listening to Lan Ruoxuan's music was more important than talking to her.
However, in some rooms, young voices of dissatisfaction could be heard.
"Isn't it Dream Girl playing? What a pity."
"Fading like the setting sun, ultimately not as good~~~"
"With Dream Girl absent, it's hard to enjoy this drink; better not drink at all."
"Pah~~ A bunch of good-for-nothings," the general couldn't help but express his disdain.
Yet Lian Yun noticed that some young people walked out of the loft with confused expressions. They glanced over a few times but quickly descended without greeting anyone.
Perhaps they didn't fully understand the situation, but seeing how anxious the older generation was must have implied something extraordinary, so they decided to follow suit.
Lian Yun thought helplessly about why those old folks were in such a hurry to go home for money.
Shimmering Dream chuckled softly, "Remember that time when Lord performed? Those who wanted to listen in front of Leader had to spend three thousand Diamond Spirit Coins just to secure a seat."
"Is it really that exaggerated?" The general was the first to be shocked. Then, seemingly worried that Lian Yun might not know the value of Diamond Spirit Coins, he explained, "Black Spirit Coin, Gray Spirit Coin, White Spirit Coin, Diamond Spirit Coin. Basically, one Diamond Spirit Coin is worth ten thousand White Spirit Coins, and one White Spirit Coin is worth ten thousand Gray Spirit Coins."
"This is too exaggerated!" Although Lian Yun felt he had some understanding of the situation, he was still shocked.
To Lian Yun, the King used the Gray Spirit Coin, the Monarch used the White Spirit Coin, so the Diamond Spirit Coin was almost equivalent to something used by an Emperor. However, since Emperors were nearly nonexistent, at the very least, the Diamond Spirit Coin was something used by those at the Peak of Sovereignty.
Thus, it was understandable that the Diamond Spirit Coin held great value.
However, according to what the General said, one Diamond Spirit Coin equated to one hundred million Gray Spirit Coins. Moreover, it was evident that even having one hundred million Gray Spirit Coins might not guarantee obtaining a single Diamond Spirit Coin.
No wonder Lan Ruoxuan had previously told Lian Yun not to let anyone see he had a Diamond Spirit Coin.
Thinking of this, Lian Yun suddenly felt a pang of regret; he had wasted twenty-five Diamond Spirit Coins during his challenge in the Hard Dungeon. That was a fortune worth two and a half billion Gray Spirit Coins. In contrast, during his two months as a novice, he had only earned around thirty to forty million.
Lian Yun felt that without special circumstances, it might take him three years to accumulate as much as one hundred Diamond Spirit Coins.
However, he was somewhat relieved that the Spiritual Energy from those Diamond Spirit Coins still remained within his Yin-Yang Stage; it just couldn't be used as currency anymore. Since the Hard Dungeon only took a few hours to complete, the Ghost Slaves hadn't really utilized any of that Spiritual Energy from the Diamond Spirit Coins.
Soon, everyone arrived on the first floor and reached the entrance. Seeing the General still clinging to Lian Yun's back, Rong Mama expressed her dissatisfaction, saying, "Leader, Vice Master, this is becoming increasingly disrespectful. Aren't you going to do something about it?"
Surprisingly, Lan Ruoxuan smiled slightly and replied, "She dares to call me Old Lan now; how can you expect me to intervene, Rong Jie?"
It seemed that although Rong Mama was in charge of reception at Azure Pavilion, her status was not low at all.
Then Azure Drift added, "Please be more forgiving with Rong Jie."
Rong Mama helplessly rubbed her forehead while the General looked pleased with himself.
However, Lian Yun suddenly became puzzled. It was only now that he noticed why the General was referred to as Leader instead of Meng Yixuan.
As if sensing Lian Yun's thoughts, Meng Yixuan smiled gently and said, "As women in this mortal world, aside from our Leader, we possess little combat power and have no desire for fame or fortune; we only seek a place to call home."
"Junior Sister, your strength is extraordinary. If you can achieve the title of Monarch in the future, you will be our protection. It is the collective wish of everyone in Azure Pavilion for you to succeed the position of Leader."
"Rest assured, I will protect all of you," the General replied.
Lian Yun bowed respectfully to Lan Ruoxuan, Azure Drift, Meng Yixuan, Rong Mama, and everyone in the hall before asking, "Are you not planning to leave Yin Yang City?"
"Before coming here, your sister Yin Ruoxue wanted me to inquire about your situation. However, I did not agree because I disapproved of her methods."
"Eh? How do you know about my relationship with my sister?"
"Although I did not agree, Le Yan's letter included your photo, so I learned your real name."
"It's rare for that girl to still remember me."
The General, appearing to be seven or eight years old and speaking in a childish voice, made such mature remarks that it was both amusing and bewildering.
However, no one laughed, including Lian Yun; many people's expressions in the hall turned somber.
