Chapter 148 The Drug 7

"I found nothing... Sigh, where are they..." said Wu Lang. Xie Rong and Wu Lang are out to find their family but have found no news of where they could be.

"It's like they never made it to Feng City," said Xie Rong. "I've asked around and people say slaves are normal here. Maybe they really are not here anymore..."

"They have to be in the area. The slave traders have to be here. It's only been a couple of months. I've talked to some of the guards and they said they notice a large group of people did come here and they have never left. We just have to look in inconspicuous places," said Meiying.

"You asked the guards? Why did you do that?" asked Wei Ru.

"Wouldn't that make us suspicious? You know they are paying really close attention to us," said Peng Ai.

"I just wanted to give it a try. Surprisingly they gave helpful information but I was unable to dig deeper. We could get the Chu Emperor's permission but Chu Yang hasn't made up with him and... It seems they are also trying to find them," said Meiying. "It's something Lin Yu Yan would probably do so I wanted to see maybe if it'll work."

"That's true. I totally see her doing that," said Peng Ai.

"Hahaha! Sister Yu Yan would definitely be doing that," said Wei Ru.

"She does bold things," said Xie Rong.

"Anyway, based on the guards expression, they looked somehow look very happy that someone was finally looking into it, even if it was an outsider," said Meiying.

"That's strange... why don't they do it themselves?" said Wei Ru.

"I don't know either," said Meiying. "I didn't ask."

"It's because the emperor was making deals with some important people," said Quan Su Wen.

They all were in Tang Pharmacy because it was the safest place they can be to discuss their matters between themselves without others hearing.

"The Chu emperor never passed the law of banning slave trade," said Quan Su Wen.

"That's horrible!" said Wei Ru. "The emperor needs to pass that law!"

"No, I also agree with his decision," said Quan Su Wen.

"Why?" said Wu Lang. "Why would the emperor do that?"

Wu Lang is a little angry and confused. He doesn't understand why the emperor made that decision.

But before Quan Su Wen could answer,one of the medical sect. members went over to her and whispered to her some bad news and left to fix it.

"Sorry, I have to take care of something right now," said Quan Su Wen.

"It's fine. You have more important things to deal with," said Xie Rong.

"Here. Wear this," said Lin Yu Yan.

"Okay," said Han Bingwen.

Lin Yu Yan has grabbed dark grey clothing out of her ring and handed it to him to change into. Han Bingwen didn't question it as he knew why she handed it to him. They both had to change clothing before leaving the restaurant due to the crowd.

"Are you done, Yu Yan?" said Han Bingwen on the other side of the door.

"Yep," said Lin Yu Yan. She came out as a boy with her hair in a ponytail. Lin Yu Yan has wrapped her chest and put on the same dark grey men's clothing to disguise herself.

"Come in," said Lin Yu Yan grabbing his hand and dragging him in the bathroom. Han Bingwen has no idea what was happening and just followed her orders.

"Our faces are too recognizable so I'm going to put makeup on us to change out features so sit still as I put makeup of you," said Lin Yu Yan.

Han Bingwen sat on a chair and looked over at Lin Yu Yan grabbing her tools from her ring. Lin Yu Yan changed his face to be more masculine and to look much older. She changed his hair style to a messy bed head kind of look.

"All done," said Lin Yu Yan. "Now it's my turn."

Han Bingwen stands up to look in the mirror to see his reflection was unrecognizable to him but made him remember someone else.

'Wow… I look so different,' he thought. 'Reminds me of my father.'

As he was admiring his new face, Lin Yu Yan went ahead and put makeup on herself. She sharpen her jaw and thicken her eyebrows. She made herself look very masculine and Han Bingwen was surprised how much she changed herself.

"How do I look?" asked Lin Yu Yan.

"You look a lot like your brother now," said Han Bingwen.

"Hahaha, it's perfect then," she said in a chuckle. "Let's go to the auction."

As they were leaving, they notice the Chu Emperor was actually standing by the entrance and heard him talking to an employee mentioning the room they were in.

'So he is one of the people who tried to spy on us…' though Lin Yu Yan as she exited the restaurant. 'Actually... why is he spying us?'

"Let's go," said Lin Yu Yan.

They head to the auction and entered through the front door. The lobby was busy as every employee was trying to get ready for the auction. She watched the employees rush to get their jobs done as she walked to the receptionist.

"Good afternoon, I would like to auction a few items," said Lin Yu Yan.

"Sure, what would you like to enter the auction?" said the man behind the counter.

Lin Yu Yan made it look like she grabbed the items from her bag but she really just place her hand in her bag to disguise herself from grabbing it from her ring.

"I would like to sell these items please," she said.

The man looked at all the items in surprised and couldn't help but yelled out the items in shock.

"What? The Beauty and Longevity pills!? And a level zero sword? Young man, are you sure!?"

"Yes."

"Let me discuss this with our head," said the man as he quickly rushed to the back to inform the head of the auction about these items.

The man yelled so loud that it got the attention of bystanders inside the lobby. Lin Yu Yan smiled in satisfaction at the perfect reaction the receptionist had.

Not even a minute has passed and people rushed out of the place to tell others of the news of the pills and the legendary sword that's going to be sold in the auction.
