Fairy, help me practice

　Chen Yao smiled and said, "If you don't explain so much, you might scare me, Bai Lin."

　The beautiful woman pouted in frustration and gently pushed Chen Yao: "How boring!"

　She is indeed Jiang Bailin.

　Jiang Bailin rolled his eyes and suddenly frowned: "Who told you to call me Bailin? Either call me Auntie or Master!"

　Chen Yao didn't bother to pay attention to her and said sternly, "If what you just said is true, then your family must be quite large, right? And you're the legitimate daughter who will inherit the family business. How did you manage to pretend so flawlessly?"

　"The Fang family is almost the most powerful family in Jinchang City besides the Pang family. It would be difficult to get important inside information without doing this. However, the person I'm pretending to be is just a puppet at best. If I want to hear the real news, I still need to take my time."

　"I didn't expect you to be so resourceful..."

　Halfway through his words, Chen Yao thought of the last time he went to the Li family. The originally tough Li Huonan changed his attitude overnight. That was also Jiang Bailin's credit, so he changed his words and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

　Jiang Bailin snorted proudly: "If you really want to respect me, just call me auntie and let me hear it!"

　"It's a beautiful thought."

　At this time, several women in formal attire came over and pulled Jiang Bailin away. These people were genuine aristocrats, and they looked at Chen Yao with deep contempt.

　There is a large chain of contempt among the nobles in Jinchang City. The most despised ones are the nouveau riche and the outsiders with connections.

　This won't work. How can we infiltrate them and get information?

　Thinking about this, Chen Yao tried to release his spiritual sense, but found that this building actually naturally restrained his spiritual sense.

　It’s really weird.

　"This young man."

　A servant dressed in gold and silver came over politely and bowed to Chen Yao.

　"how?"

　"Sir, my lady invites you."

　"Who is your young lady?"

　"Jin Changlu is a prominent family second only to the Fang family, and is a close friend of Fang's daughter."

　Chen Yao thought this was at least a breakthrough, but he couldn't show too much enthusiasm: "Oh, but I don't know your lady."

　The attendant straightened his back and said, "It's alright, my lady just wants to meet the young master. Come this way!"

　His attitude was humble, but his movements and tone left no room for doubt.

　Chen Yao could no longer show any attitude and could only follow this breakthrough.

　Following the attendant, we came to a corner where we could observe the entire watchtower, where there was a square table inlaid with gold and jade.

　Three gorgeously dressed women were sitting at the square table.

　One of them was facing Chen Yao, but did not even glance at him. Instead, he was whispering with the other two.

　"Please wait a moment, sir."

　The attendant and Chen Yao stood there.

　The three women chatted for a while before the other two humbly took their leave.

　The only person left at the square table was the woman facing Chen Yao. She was plump, but her eyes were as cold as ice. She was just drinking a cup of tea in front of her without even looking at Chen Yao.

　After a while, the servant tactfully withdrew.

　"Are you a distant relative of the Lei family?"

　The woman refused to give up her seat and asked directly.

　Chen Yao sat directly next to her: "Are you the legitimate daughter of the Fang family? What's your name?"

　"You don't deserve to know my name."

　"Then we have nothing to talk about."

　Chen Yao stood up.

　The woman thought for a moment and said, "Wait! My name is Lu Ke."

　"Karena..."

　Chen Yao said this with a look of disapproval on his face.

　Fang Ke finally looked directly at Chen Yao, his eyes as cold as ice.

Chapter 263 Women's Transaction

　However, her skills in cultivating her Qi seemed to be quite good. After glancing at Chen Yao, she looked back at the teacup in her hand.

　"What's your relationship with Fang Xiang?"

　Needless to say, Jiang Bailin was pretending to be Fang Xiang.

　Chen Yao looked at her, trying to find out more information from her expression.

　But unfortunately, the man's expression didn't reveal much information.

　"meet by chance."

　Lu Ke looked up at him, a sarcastic smile on his lips: "I don't think so."

　Chen Yao calmed down and said, "Whatever you say."

　"People like you who come from a small place, like your Lei family, a country family, want to gain a foothold in Jinchang City, so it's inevitable that they want to curry favor with the rich and powerful. Am I right?"

　Looking at Lu Ke's smug and self-satisfied face, Chen Yao wanted to laugh out loud. It turned out that she had thought of this, which might as well deepen her impression.

　Then his face turned pale: "I... I don't understand what you are talking about!"

　Seeing Chen Yao's expression change, Lu Ke felt that his guess was correct and snorted, "You know it very well. But..."

　She took another sip of tea before saying, "If you're trying to seduce Fang Xiang and make her eat young grass, I'm afraid you're miscalculating."

　"how?"

　Lu Ke smiled and said, "This woman doesn't seem to be interested in men."

　She frowned and added, "He doesn't seem to be interested in women either."

　Chen Yao glanced at her sideways. Lu Ke noticed his gaze and became angry: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

　"You invited me here just to spread rumors?"

　Lu Ke became even angrier, but she glared at Chen Yao for a while and then regained her composure.

　"I invited you here to tell you that if you want to be close to a powerful person, Fang Xiang is not the only one who can choose."

　Chen Yao looked at the chubby woman and said, "I don't see any other options, do you?"

　"How dare you! Even if I were to find a lover in Jinchang City, I wouldn't choose a country bumpkin like you!"

　"Then you are quite casual indeed!"

　"you!"

　Lu Ke's chest heaved for a long time before he let out a long breath. "I'm negotiating a deal with you, not arguing with you. Let me put it this way! Fang Xiang is the legitimate daughter who will inherit the Fang family. There's no way she'd get entangled with a country bumpkin. Give up on this idea."

　"However, Fang Xiang has shown no interest in men or women, but he has shown interest in you. This is a point that I can exploit."

　Chen Yao looked at her and motioned for her to continue.

　"My deal is, you help me get close to Fang Xiang and find out what taboo relationships she has outside of Jinchang City. Then, I can help your Lei family gain a foothold in Jinchang City."

　Beware of fire, theft, and best friends. I'm not kidding! What's wrong with Jiang Bailin? He's only been here for a few days and he's already offended someone like him!

　Chen Yao pretended to be thinking seriously and did not answer for a long time.

　"It's impossible for Fang Xiang to have anything to do with you. But if unfortunately, something does happen between us, the first thing the Fang family will do is not to help you, but to eradicate the Lei family and eliminate their influence. So, if you are a smart person, you will know that cooperating with me is the safest way."

　"How do I know that what you say will count?"

　Lu Ke smiled and said, "I'm just giving you a choice out of pity. You can leave now."

　After saying this, she really acted as if Chen Yao didn't exist.

　The servant came over, as humble and polite as ever, but with a sense of arrogance.

　"Sir, please. If you have any news, you can come here and report to me at future dinners."

　Chen Yao got up and left.

　"What did that smug pig ask you to do?"

　Jiang Bailin finally got rid of the flattery of other women and returned to Chen Yao.

　Chen Yao glanced at the corner where Lu Ke was and said, "Let me be her undercover agent and find out what taboo relationships you have outside Jinchang City."

　Jiang Bailin sneered: "It's all about family struggle again, so annoying."

　She looked around the vast courtyard and said, "This building was built by the Fang family. Although it is nominally the facade of the City Lord's Mansion, it is now occupied by members of the Fang family. This is also one of the reasons why I chose to pretend to be Fang Xiang."

　"Have you found anything?"

　Jiang Bailin shook his head: "Although there are banquets here every day, the city lord Pang Xi never shows up. His... well, the banquet is in the deep palace behind."

　"So, we still have to find a way to enter the palace? Is there any way?"

　Jiang Bailin shook his head again: "The materials and formations of this City Lord's Mansion are very special. I can't sneak in."

　If she couldn't sneak in, Chen Yao knew that there was really no way to get in.

　"Then we've come here for nothing? I don't think these nobles even know anything about the technique, let alone Jiu Luo's whereabouts."

　Jiang Bailin nodded: "However, they can cause chaos. Once Jinchang City is in chaos, we will have a chance to sneak into the deep palace."

　Chen Yao heard her say this and knew that Jin Long and she had already figured it out: "How do we create chaos?"

　"All common tyrants and despots are caused by the people being forced to rebel by their officials."

　"You mean to instigate a rebellion among the people in the city?"

　Jiang Bailin said nothing more: "It's almost time, go back and talk to the ancestor! I'm leaving first."

　"and many more."

　"Ok?"

　Chen Yao suddenly reached out and touched the corner of Jiang Bailin's lips.

　Jiang Bailin was stunned for a moment, then his eyes turned shy and feigned anger: "You're touching me!"

　Chen Yao smiled and said, "The corner of your mouth is crooked. Be more careful next time and smile more reservedly."

　Jiang Bailin said angrily, "It's all your fault! I didn't smile a while ago!"

　After the banquet, Chen Yao followed Jin Long into the carriage and chatted

　Recalling the experience at the banquet.

　"My plan is to incite a war among the nobles, while at the same time instigating the common people to serve as a surprise attack on the City Lord's Mansion."

　Jinlong told about his plan and said that he had won over some reliable people and that the plan had achieved initial results.

　"This way, we won't make a big fuss and attract Ponzi's attention, which would make us vulnerable to being exposed."

　Chen Yao expressed his doubts.

　Jin Long shook his head. "No, Pang Xi rules Jinchang City and excels at maintaining balance. Every ten years, he instigates a civil war among the nobles to eliminate troublemakers. Now is the perfect time."

　"Is there anything I can do?"

　Jin Long thought for a moment and said, "I will attend the banquet well, spread the news that will lead to misunderstanding among the nobles, and use Lu Ke to instigate a fight between the Lu and Fang clans."

　Chen Yao nodded: "Will it be a hindrance to Bai Lin?"

　"No, don't underestimate Bai Lin's methods."

　"it is good."

　Chen Yao discovered that the carriage did not return along the original route.

　"Grandfather, where are we going?"

　The Golden Dragon Patriarch smiled, a rare glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes: "Go and bring hope to the people."

　Chen Yao was stunned. He really didn't expect that this Jiang family's killing god actually had such a pure heart.

　The carriage stopped.
