29 Pursuit
***Heavenly Treasures Pavillion, Jinan City Branch
An eye-catching group of good-looking and powerful male cultivators burst through the gates. With their wild and manly aura, the abundance of red in their clothing, and that very noticeable jade plates with flame symbol tied at their waists. One look and everyone knew they were from the Yan clan.
The lady at the front desk hurried to lead the newcomers on a private room while many female customers are craning their and giving what they think were subtle glances at the Yan clansmen with blushing faces.
In the Origin Elemental Realm, a lady who is favored by a man from the Yan clan is considered very fortunate.
Well, aside from their superior genes, the men from the Yan clan are known to be monogamous. One lady in a lifetime-- there's no need to worry about things like second wives, third wives or concubines stealing the husband's attention. They are also respectful and affectionate to their women. In short, they are the perfect husband candidates in this power-hungry society where women are viewed lower than men and some powerful men can even have a hundred concubines.
In the private room, the branch manager was already waiting. He was now regretting making a transaction with the little girl and attracting this trouble. Just looking at the grave expressions of the men was making him break in a cold sweat.
"May we look at the goods?" a handsome man in the foremost of the group asked.
"Of course," the manager answered tensely and immediately ushered the group to four large treasure boxes.
Two men circled each box and inspected the contents closely before nodding to each other. This made the manager even more nervous.
"T-that, respected customers, you should know that our merchant group is known for protecting the anonymity of every customer," the manager stated with trembling voice as the handsome man's face was instantly filled with a scowl. The temperature in the room suddenly dropped.
"Uncle Leo, stop scaring the poor man," a calm voice of a youngster suddenly relieved the atmosphere. "Mister Manager, did the person who brought this treasures here a little girl with silver hair and blue eyes?"
The manager did not say anything but from his expression, everyone already knew the answer.
Seeing this, the youngster continued speaking to him while smiling, "Don't worry manager, we are not looking for trouble, that girl is actually our little sister. We are currently on a trip here in the central continent. But who would have guessed she would slip away in the middle of the journey to play around? We just want to know where she's gone to ensure her safety."
Comforted by the youngster's seemingly warm smile. The manager finally spilled every little detail about his conversation with Rinley and even the items she requested from them.
***MINI THEATER***
After coming out of the Heavenly Treasures Pavilion, fifth monkey's (FM) face immediately changed from sunny to frosty. He instructed everyone with an authoritative voice.
FM said with an evil glint in his eyes: "Contact every City Lord of nearby cities! Tell them we're looking for a little kid wearing black clothes and a veiled bamboo hat. Those who will be able to give information will be greatly rewarded."
[Just wait little sister. I will definitely spank your butt after this!!]
