Chapter 32: Treasure Seer Physique
As the sixteen boxes of riches were unloaded in full view of everyone at the pier, the entire dock was abuzz.
You see, the last time a fleet had such a huge harvest was... no, it was just a few months ago!
When did salvaging treasure from the depths of the sea become so easy?
Or perhaps, had the waters near Liuli Island become so rich that treasures were abundant everywhere? The people on the island were deeply skeptical.
Soon, the excitement intensified.
Who wouldn't want to become rich overnight?
Countless excited individuals rushed back home to share what they had witnessed at the pier.
They too wanted to set sail; they too wanted to salvage the treasures from the sea floor! Thus, the news of the enormous treasure gained by the Cangyuan sailed like wildfire and quickly spread across the entire Liuli Island.
Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.
The woman in yellow was meticulously appraising a new batch of items when she suddenly heard hurried footsteps.
"Innkeeper, innkeeper!"
Sun Zhang burst in without a greeting.
"What's going on?" The woman in yellow was somewhat puzzled.
"Treasure... more than a dozen boxes... Cangyuan..." Sun Zhang gasped, his words disjointed.
The woman in yellow was unimpressed. "It's just a dozen or so boxes of treasures. Is it necessary to make such a fuss? To digest these things on the island, they'll have to go through our Heavenly Treasure Pavilion's channels..."
While the woman was speaking, her expression suddenly changed. "Wait, did you say Cangyuan? The ship that uncle named Li Fan is staying on?"
Sun Zhang nodded repeatedly.
The woman in yellow was stunned for a while before she regained her senses. "No wonder that guy was so confident in convincing Steward Zhao. He was absolutely certain that he could find treasure as long as he set sail..."
"That's right, that's right. This ability of his is just like our Heavenly Treasure Pavilion's manager!" Sun Zhang said with envy and admiration, "Luckily, you, the manager, had the foresight and gave him a small courtyard before. You've established a relationship with him. When he returns from this sea voyage, he will surely become famous. If we want to win him over again, it will probably cost us a lot."
The woman in yellow interrupted Sun Zhang and instructed, "Go arrange it immediately, see when you can arrange a meal with him. Also, send someone to deliver the land deed to him."
Sun Zhang was taken aback, but this time he didn't say anything and hurriedly went downstairs to handle it.
After spending some more time with Steward Zhao, Li Fan took his leave.
As soon as he returned to the courtyard, Sun Zhang arrived, apparently waiting for a long time.
"Is your manager inviting me to dinner?"
It was indeed a coincidence.
Li Fan was just thinking of meeting her again, so he readily agreed.
As for the land deed that Sun Zhang brought, Li Fan didn't accept it.
He planned to meet the woman in yellow again in the evening.
As night fell, the lights began to glow.
Li Fan arrived at the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.
There was only one person in the room.
However, she had changed into a purple robe and was not wearing a veil anymore.
"Allow me to formally introduce myself. I am the manager of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion on Liuli Island, Yin Yuzhen."
"Li Fan."
Yin Yuzhen chuckled. "You are indeed straightforward."
"I'm just a mere mortal, there's really nothing worth mentioning," Li Fan said frankly.
"Is the Treasure Seer Physique also insignificant in your eyes?" Yin Yuzhen looked at Li Fan with a wry smile.
"Oh? I don't know about the Treasure Seer Physique," Li Fan said calmly, though he was intrigued.
"You mean the Treasure Seer Physique isn't worth mentioning to you?" Yin Yuzhen furrowed her brows, gritting her teeth.
But when she saw that Li Fan really seemed to not know, she reluctantly explained the matter of the Treasure Seer Physique to him.
"In that case, your sister also possesses a Treasure Seer Physique?" Li Fan squinted his eyes.
"How old is she this year? What does she look like? Where was she twenty years ago? And where is she now?"N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapter's release on N0v3l--B1n.
