Taking advantage of Mu Su's good mood, the steward suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, there is another matter to report."
"What is it?" Mu Su inquired.
"A few days ago, the Si family sent someone to deliver a letter, asking me to pass it on to Your Excellency." With that, the steward handed over the letter he had been carrying on him to Mu Su.
"The Si family," Mu Su was somewhat curious. The head of the Si family was one of the few who knew his identity as the master of the Treasure Pavilion.
Mu Su unfolded the letter and glanced through it, his expression becoming increasingly strange as he read the contents.
"Ye Qingtang from the Ye family wants to see me," Mu Su looked surprised, his gaze subconsciously looking towards the inner room of the elegant chamber.
The man sitting in the inner room slightly furrowed his brows.
The steward noticed Mu Su's gaze but did not dare to look into the inner room, instead, he lowered his head even more.
Last night, another person had come with Mu Su, a man whom even someone of Mu Su's status had to treat with utmost respect.
The steward couldn't help but recall that his master was loyal to the primordial Holy Hall, and perhaps that man was the rumored God Emperor. Thinking of this, the steward dared not think any further and only dared to control his own words and actions.
After hesitating for a moment, Mu Su asked, "Who is this Ye Qingtang in the Ye family?"
That day when the master went to see the Ye family's young lady, he seemed not to know her name, and it was unclear whether it was this Ye Qingtang.
The steward quickly replied, "Ye Qingtang is the eldest miss of the Ye family and the heir apparent to the next head of the family."
"Besides Ye Qingtang, how many other young ladies are there in the Ye family's residence now?" Mu Su asked again.
"There are three young ladies in the Ye family. One is the daughter of the Ye family's head, Ye Qingtang. Another is the granddaughter of the eldest elder, Ye You. The last one is an orphan girl named Ye Xun, whom the Ye family's head found. Ye You recently went to the Cloud Sky Sect, and Ye Xun usually lives more in the manor outside the Ye family. At present, the only lady in the Ye family should be Ye Qingtang," the steward reported meticulously.
"It really is her," Mu Su's eyes widened slightly.
The steward continued, "In fact, it was Miss Ye Qingtang who provided the address for the Qucao, which allowed us to find it. Miss Ye is currently inside the Treasure Pavilion."
Mu Su really wanted to laugh now.
He had suffered internal injuries in his early years and needed Qucao for treatment. After waiting for so many years, he never expected that it would be the woman His Highness was looking for who helped him.
"Since she is a guest of my Treasure Pavilion and has helped me find the Qucao, I must express my gratitude properly. In the future, whenever Ye Qingtang visits my Treasure Pavilion, all items will be offered to her at a twenty percent discount," Mu Su spoke generously, glancing at the inner room with a corner of his eye.
"Yes," the steward nodded, inwardly marveling at the twenty percent discount Mu Su was offering, which wasn't just for this branch in Lin City, but for all Treasure Pavilions across the world.
Heaven knows how many invaluable treasures are inside the Treasure Pavilion; this discount could potentially save an astonishing amount.
After receiving the instructions, the steward quietly left.
It was only after the steward had left that the man sitting in the inner room slowly walked out.
Upon seeing the man, Mu Su immediately stood up and knelt on one knee.
"Your Highness."
Han Cangming's handsome face was devoid of any expression, his deep eyes sweeping over the letter from the Si family spread out on the table.
"Agree to her terms," a deep voice resonated.
"Yes, I will inform the Si family immediately," Mu Su replied promptly.
You're the boss, you have the final say.
He knew with certainty that his lord would have him agree, but he was unsure what Ye Qingtang wanted from him.
Ye Qingtang, still searching for treasures in the Treasure Pavilion, was completely unaware that from an unnoticed high-rise building, a pair of deep eyes were quietly observing her every move.
Mu Su stood with Han Cangming in the secret room of the Treasure Pavilion, watching Ye Qingtang, his heart filled with curiosity about this girl with a stunning appearance.
This is the host of the Demon Emperor's Heart.
Mu Su couldn't help but recall the question Han Cangming had asked him last night when they left the Ye family.
Does Your Highness want to have a child with such a woman?
Mu Su stealthily glanced at Han Cangming, whose gaze was firmly locked on Ye Qingtang, completely oblivious to the fluctuating emotions of his subordinate.
Inside the Treasure Pavilion, there were countless treasures. Ye Qingtang had helped the Treasure Pavilion find Qucao and obtained an enviable discount, so she naturally wouldn't be polite.
The steward, due to Mu Su's instructions, was personally accompanying Ye Qingtang in selecting items. The steward had thought that Ye Qingtang would take this opportunity to pick a few valuable treasures. However, he didn't expect Ye Qingtang to suddenly stop in front of a neglected counter.
"Is this the Floating Tower?" Ye Qingtang asked, pointing at the emerald-colored object the size of a pebble displayed in the counter.
The steward glanced at it and nodded.
The Floating Tower is produced by a fifth-order spiritual beast. The fifth-order spiritual beast has extremely strong combat power and requires hundreds of people to successfully subdue it. However, the Floating Tower is quite useless.
The hardness of the Floating Tower is extremely high, and knives and guns cannot damage it at all. Moreover, due to the difficulty of killing a fifth-order spiritual beast, the price of the Floating Tower is also very high. But so far, no one knows what use the Floating Tower can be put to. Even as a decoration, it is not as dazzling as a gem. Apart from some families buying one or two to show off their wealth, the Floating Tower is almost neglected.
However, Ye Qingtang's gaze was truly attracted to those few Floating Towers.
This thing is useless to others, but for her, the use is really too great.
"How many Floating Towers do you have here?" Ye Qingtang asked.
The steward didn't understand why Ye Qingtang was so interested in the accumulated floating towers, thinking she was just curious, "There are probably about a dozen or so."
These items are extremely difficult to sell, and it's rare for the Treasure Pavilion to sell even one in a year, resulting in quite a stockpile.
Ye Qingtang stroked her chin, a flash of delight in her eyes, "I'll take them all."
The steward's eyes nearly popped out.
"All of them?"
"Miss Ye, the price for a single floating tower is a thousand gold, are you sure?"
Ye Qingtang nodded.
The steward was utterly bewildered.
He had thought that Ye Qingtang, who had received a 20% discount, would bring back some good items, but who would have expected that this young lady would want nothing else but these floating towers, which were no different from stones.
A dozen floating towers would amount to tens of thousands of taels of gold.
Buying back a pile of broken stones was simply a huge loss.
The steward was still preparing to persuade her, but Ye Qingtang directly placed ten gold ingots on the counter, leaving the steward speechless.
With no other choice, the steward reluctantly had all the floating towers in the Treasure Pavilion brought out.
In total, there were seventeen floating towers, with a total price of seventeen thousand gold, and with Ye Qingtang's discount, it came to thirteen thousand six hundred. The steward, perhaps feeling that the floating towers were too deceptive, generously rounded down and only charged thirteen thousand.
Even so, he still felt like he was deceiving Ye Qingtang.
However, Ye Qingtang, who had obtained the floating towers, had a smile in her eyes.
Although people are not yet aware of the purpose of this floating tower, in a few years, news will spread that the floating tower nourishes spiritual roots. It is one of the few treasures in the world that can nourish spiritual roots. Don't look at the current price of the floating tower, which is a thousand gold coins, quite high. After the news of nourishing spiritual roots spreads, the price of the floating tower will soar, and it will be difficult to buy even at ten thousand coins per piece.
So, Ye Qingtang is not suffering a huge loss at all; she is actually making a fortune.
"I would like to trouble the manager with one thing. If there are floating towers in other treasure pavilions, I would like to buy them all as well," Ye Qingtang said with a smile. The treasure pavilions are spread all over the world. If she could cooperate with them, would she still have to worry about the supply of floating towers?
The manager, however, looked bewildered.
This Miss Ye from the Ye family might be crazy.
The manager did not dare to agree immediately, only saying that he would look into it, and he paid more attention to Ye Qingtang's obsession with the floating tower. Buying such a large quantity of floating towers, could there be other uses?
Ye Qingtang was not in a hurry. These more than a dozen floating towers would be enough for her to use for a while.
In addition to accumulating floating towers, Ye Qingtang also chose the scales of the Hu Xi beast.
The Hu Xi beast is a spiritual beast that lives in areas full of magma and is extremely ferocious. Its scales have strong fire resistance. However, because the scales of the Hu Xi beast are extremely large and heavy, it is difficult to make armor, so few people buy them.
Ye Qingtang bought two kinds of useless things in a row, which made the manager's heart tremble. He really didn't know why Miss Ye from the Ye family liked to pick up trash.
In order to store the huge scales of the Hu Xi beast, Ye Qingtang even bought a space ring in the treasure pavilion and packed all the things she bought.
Mu Su, who had been watching with Han Cangming in the dark for a long time, watched Ye Qingtang block a pile of trash and still looked happy, and his heart was very subtle.
"Her Highness Ye's taste is truly unique," Mu Su's mouth twitched slightly, cautiously glancing at Han Cangming.
Those shabby items weren't intentionally trapped for Ye Qingtang; it was Ye Qingtang who bought them. This account couldn't be attributed to him.
Han Cangming didn't respond to Mu Su's defense, just thoughtfully looking at Ye Qingtang.
Taking advantage of her rebirth, Ye Qingtang was content after collecting a bunch of treasures. After scanning the treasure pavilion and not seeing anything else she needed, she was about to leave. Just as she reached the door of the treasure pavilion, she suddenly saw Si Bai and a servant also preparing to leave the treasure pavilion.
It happened that Ye Qingtang was planning to go to the Si family to continue adjusting Si Bai's body. Now that she encountered him, it was convenient, so she left the treasure pavilion together and went to the Si family directly.
Mu Su silently watched Ye Qingtang and the handsome young man leave with laughter, turning to look at his own highness.
Han Cangming had a face without expression.
Mu Su secretly wiped his face, Your Highness, you should pay attention.
He immediately decided in his heart that when he saw Ye Qingtang the next day, he must find an opportunity to bring her in front of His Highness.
If you want to have a child, you also need to take action, right?
"I saw you bought the Floating Tower and Hu Xi Beast Scales in the treasure pavilion just now," Si Bai walked back to the Si family with Ye Qingtang, quite curious about Ye Qingtang's shopping momentum in the treasure pavilion.
Si Bai had also heard of the Floating Tower and Hu Xi Beast Scales, but he really didn't know what was special about these two things.
"Hmm." Ye Qingtang didn't plan to deliberately hide it.
