Back at the Inn…
"Anyway, I asked you to meet me here because I made an opportunity for you all tomorrow," said Lin Yu Yan.
"I have something to say as well before you start," said Wang Ping. "My welcoming is pushed back a day. I wasn't told why either. I think something happened," said Wang Ping.
"Perfect start. It's because of the auction tomorrow," said Lin Yu Yan.
"Auction?" said Wang Ping.
"Yes. I will be selling a few items at the auction tomorrow night. I will be selling two beauty pills and 2 longevity pills. The level zero sword is also going to be in the auction," said Lin Yu Yan.
"I forgot those are still considered legendary items," said Wei Ru. Training as a weapon master, Wei Ru has the opportunity to see a lot of enchanted weapons which he is surprised people find the level zero sword a legendary when he uses a higher level weapon.
"Same," said Meiying, who has been working on the third, forth, and fifth pill in the book with Lin Yu Yan.
"I was wondering why everyone was making a fuss all afternoon. So it was your doing," said Gu Xiang.
"Most of the powerful people here will be showing up. Quan Su Wen's sisters somehow got their hands on my beauty pill and the whole town freaked out. Based on their reaction, everyone would want to see them or have them at the auction. I'm sure that Min Fu-Han guy probably will also show up to the auction too," said Lin Yu Yan.
"For sure. He would love to make experiments on that," said Wu Lang.
"He would want to know how to make them as well," said Meiying.
"The slave traders probably won't be at the slave market tomorrow night because of the rare items they would like to purchase," said Peng Ai.
"Wang Ping and Gu Xiang will also be going. The rest of you will have the opportunity to go and save the people in the building," said Lin Yu Yan.
"Where can the people go? Or stay?" asked Wu Lang, who wanted to help those people as soon as possible.
"I actually bought a few houses here already so we can have more privacy. Here is the address," said Lin Yu Yan and handed Meiying the paper of where the address is.
"Peng Ai. I am going to ask you to be in charge due to you have no relation to the issue like Meiying and Wu Lang. Kenzhi will also help you. I would asked Xie Rong, since he is the oldest, but there is a slight chance his family is also in the building. This is a big thing for you but I know you can do it," said Lin Yu Yan.
"Why can't we plan it?" asked Xie Rong.
"Because, once you find your family, you would want to stay by their side and protect only them. I want all the people saved and you three may get to emotional for planning," said Lin Yu Yan.
"Oh, so you need different plans based on Peng Ai's and my abilities because we may be only be the only ones capable to protect all of them?" said Kenzhi.
"Yes."
"I can protect them all!" said Wu Lang, denying Lin Yu Yan's statement.
"I don't know, you probably can. But I'm not risking it," said Lin Yu Yan. "These are peoples lives we are risking, Wu Lang."
Wu Lang couldn't argue against that and became silent thinking how can he prove Lin Yu Yan wrong.
"I don't know if I'm ready…" said Peng Ai, cutting the silence.
"It's okay. You have time to plan it. Tell me once you have finalize it," said Lin Yu Yan.
"Okay," said Peng Ai.
"Han Jingju and Han Mingli, I don't know when you guys are leaving so I didn't include you to the plan," said Lin Yu Yan.
"It's no problem. We are actually leaving tomorrow," said Han Jingju. "We have to go back to my family."
"You too, Bingwen?" said Lin Yu Yan. She didn't hear from Han Bingwen about it but she knew they were going to leave soon.
"No. I won't but the other two will," said Han Bingwen.
"Good thing I planned that. Victoria, Knight, Silver, Bingwen, and Chu Yang will be going with me to the auction. But Victoria and Knight will be with Wang Ping for extra protection while Chu Yang and Bingwen will be with me. This is also great opportunity for you, Chu Yang, to talk with your brother since he will be in his room with no one else but his most trusted people," said Lin Yu Yan.
"How?" said Chu Yang.
"The guards next to the Chu Emperor has been following me and Bingwen, trying to find out where we are staying. I think your brother wants to speak to me about something but I didn't want to until after you resolve your relationship. He probably wanted to talk about my mother so before that, make up with him," said Lin Yu Yan.
"Okay..." said Chu Yang.
"And one more thing, I want you all to stay away from the Medical sect. from now on," said Lin Yu Yan.
"What? But the guys aren't even from the medical sect.?" said Meiying, remembering the 'fight' they previously just had. "Accept for maybe one."
"Good eye. I also notice that person," said Lin Yu Yan.
"Is it my sister?" said Wu Lang.
"I think so. She definitely smells a little like you. But we know she is not in the medical sect.. Anyway, we have to make it look like we aren't friends with the medical sect.. Make the enemy think we fell for their trap," said Lin Yu Yan.
'It's still strange hearing that from a human,' thought Kenzhi. The Han brothers probably have a better smell the the other but Lin Yu Yan nose is probably as strong as Kenzhi.
"I see…" said Wu Lang.
"I also find it strange why Minister Quan still hates Su Wen even though she is appointed as the new master of the so strong Medical Sect.. Minister Quan is like my grandfather, likes to use people who have great value to him.
But Su Wen, who is the master of the Medical sect. branch here is not of any value to him, even though she owns that branch. It probably means he has someone even bigger or someone stronger beside him," said Lin Yu Yan.
Then Meiying said, "Or someone who hates the medical sect...?"
"Exactly," said Lin Yu Yan. "Make it look like we are not together with them. I will let Su Wen know what's going on because I don't want her to be confused as to why we are staying away for the time being."
Everyone in the room nodded their heads in understanding.
"Okay. Then to recap the groups, it's going to be Victoria, Knight, Wang Ping and Gu Xiang. Silver, Chu Yang, Bingwen and me. Peng Ai, Meiying, Kenzhi, Wu Lang, and Xie Rong," said Lin Yu Yan.
"Get a good rest, everyone. It's going to be one busy day tomorrow."
