Dear Lingshi

Chapter 159 City-wide Bounty

"Oh? Is it Li Heng?" Ye Huan also knew that his son Ye Hongming and his cousin Li Heng had a good relationship, and the two often traveled together.

"Yes, it was Young Master Li Heng! Last night, Young Master Li and a guest had a small conflict over a spiritual weapon. Later, after Young Master Ye came, the two of them have been together. I don't know what happened afterwards." The waiter told everything.

Hearing this, Ye Huan handed over a bag of spirit stones and continued to ask: "Can you give me a detailed description of the guest's appearance?"

The waiter was very excited when he received the Qiankun bag containing 20,000 low-grade spirit stones. After listening to Ye Huan's question, he thought for a moment and said immediately: "The guest looks very ordinary, and the two people who followed him, one old and one young, are also very ordinary. That's right! They came to Yu Baochang twice last night. The first time they came, there were three people, and they bought a top-grade spirit tool, the Pei Ling bracelet. It was because of this Pei Ling bracelet that Li Shao had a little unpleasantness with him. The second time the three came to Yu Baochang was to participate in the auction, but the second time they came, the three of them became five people, with two more monks, one man and one woman. The female monk was very burly and left a deep impression on people."

Hearing the waiter's description, Ye Huan raised his eyebrows, and then asked everyone, "Has anyone else seen these five people? Those who tell the truth will also be rewarded!"

"I... have seen it!" A sweet voice suddenly sounded among the crowd.

Seeing this person, Ye Huan's serious face also showed a rare smile: "Lian Yue, can you tell me where these five people came from?"

"Second Master, I don't know where these five people came from, but I have had close contact with them and found that three of them had their faces disguised by some kind of martial arts. Although I cannot see through their true faces, the cultivator who looks like an old man should be a sword cultivator."

Since Lu Yunsheng's soul realm was very high and he always wrapped himself in spiritual consciousness, Lian Yue did not realize that Lu Yunsheng was also a sword cultivator.

"Did they have any conflict with Ye Hongming at the auction?" Ye Huan asked.

"I don't know about this. At that time, the bidding for each treasure was fierce. I was concentrating on hosting the auction and didn't pay attention to these things."

As soon as Lian Yue finished speaking, a maid beside her stood up and said to Ye Huan, "Sir, I know a little bit."

"Oh? Say it quickly!"

"Young Master Ye bought a Jinxia Pill on the way. When I delivered the Jinxia Pill to Young Master Ye's private room, Young Master Ye was very angry and threw the jade box containing the Jinxia Pill directly to the ground, saying that he wanted to kill someone."

After hearing this, Ye Huan took two bags of spirit stones and handed them to Lian Yue and the maid respectively, then turned to Yu Ge and said, "Bring me the record of last night's quotation."

"Second Master, please wait a moment. I will go get it."

In order to prevent unnecessary trouble, Yu Baochang has a dedicated person to record every bid at every auction.

Not long after, last night's records were retrieved.

Ye Huan opened it directly and turned to the auction record of Jinxiadan, only to see that the last few bids came from two private rooms.

Needless to say, one of the private rooms was the one where Ye Shao was, because the Jinxiadan was bought by him.

The cultivator in the other private room was naturally the person that Ye Shao wanted to kill.

As Ye Huan continued to check, he discovered that in the auction of several other treasures, it was the monks in this private room who were bidding against Ye Hongming. Now he understood why Ye Hongming was furious.

"Who was in this private room last night?" Ye Huan asked everyone.

Lian Yue took a look and realized that this was the private room where the five people were. She was the one who personally delivered the VIP tokens last night.

She immediately stood up again and said, "Second Master, the people in this private room are those five people."

She would not miss the opportunity to curry favor with the second master of the Ye family.

"Are you sure?" Ye Huan asked loudly after hearing it.

Lian Yue was startled by Ye Huan's suddenly raised voice, but still said firmly: "I am absolutely sure!"

"Good! Very good!" Ye Huan grinned.

"Acong!" Ye Huan shouted to the group of Jindan cultivators behind him.

"Here!" Someone among the Jindan cultivators responded and hurriedly walked behind Ye Huan.

"Lian Yue, describe the appearance of those five people! Acong, you will be responsible for drawing them." Ye Huan said to the two of them at the same time.

"But Second Master, three of those five people don't have their original faces." Lian Yue asked puzzledly.

"It's okay, just describe it!" Ye Huan gave an order and handed Lian Yue a bag of spirit stones.

"Thank you, Second Master!" Lian Yue smiled happily.

While the two were drawing the portrait, Ye Huan took out the voice stone and asked the Li family about Li Heng. If he could find Li Heng, he would be able to get more clues.

Unfortunately, after Ye Huan asked, the Li family also didn't know where Li Heng was now.

Since the Li family did not have a Nascent Soul ancestor, they did not have a life plate. The news of Li Heng’s death was still unknown to the Li family. After some conversation, Ye Huan had already guessed that Li Heng was most likely killed.

Not long after, the appearance of Lu Yunsheng and his group of five was quickly described in Lian Yue's description.

Even though it was not the real appearance, the moment it was drawn, Lian Yue patted her chest and guaranteed that it was 80% to 90% similar.

Ye Huan left Yu Baochang with the portrait in satisfaction, and walked to other places in Ledaofang, where he began to ask the merchants door to door whether they had seen these people last night.

In this way, Ye Huan and his group quickly arrived at Jie Nu Fang, and the portraits of the siblings Zhuo Yan and Zhuo Miao were recognized by a shopkeeper.

Under Ye Huan's questioning and the high reward, the shop owner quickly told the story of Lu Yunsheng and the other two buying slaves from him.

Afterwards, not long after, Ye Huan and his companions visited places such as the Rare Beast House and Wanji Xianwei Ju, and Lu Yunsheng and his companions' actions last night were investigated clearly.

But unfortunately, Ye Huan did not find out the true origins and appearances of Lu Yunsheng and the other two. He could only confirm the real appearances of Zhuo Yan and Zhuo Miao.

Although the investigation hit a bottleneck for a while, Ye Huan posted the portraits of the five people all over the streets and alleys of Xianyou City and offered a sky-high reward.

Anyone who proactively provides information about these five people can receive 100,000 low-grade spirit stones.

Anyone who can capture these five people and send them to Ye Mansion regardless of whether they are dead or alive will receive two million low-grade spirit stones.

Three days passed in a flash.

This incident became known to everyone in Xianyou City. After seeing the reward posted, Uncle Hu and Yao Bing felt relieved. After all, the reward would not be able to find them just based on the few portraits that had nothing to do with them.

Although the portraits of Zhuo Yan and Zhuo Miao are 80% similar to the real people, the two siblings had already been taken away to other places by Lu Yunsheng.
