Dynasty of Dayu.
Imperial City, Ruyi Inn.
Lin Chen and Liu Qingfeng were staying at the inn, waiting for the Alchemist Association's assessment tomorrow.
After a day's journey, it was already evening when we arrived at Ruyi Inn.
The first floor of the inn was a restaurant, and there were private rooms on the second and third floors. Lin Chen took Liu Qingfeng to get a room, and then went downstairs for dinner.
Liu Qingfeng wanted to pay, but found that he was short of money. Ruyi Inn was very expensive, and one night's stay cost two gold coins.
Liu Qingfeng suddenly felt embarrassed. When he was in Qingzhou, he only used silver notes and rarely used gold coins.
Prices in Qingzhou are incomparable to those in the Imperial City.
"Qingfeng, don't be formal, this little thing is nothing."
Lin Chen paid Liu Qingfeng's rent and invited him to dinner. Liu Qingfeng blushed and kept saying thanks.
Ruyi Inn is very lively. The first floor is crowded with people. People from all over the world gather together to chat and chat.
Lin Chen deliberately chose a corner seat by the window, which was relatively quiet.
"Have you heard that Miss Liu Yanran of the Liu family is getting married to Li Daoyuan, the genius of the Li family!"
At the wine table next to me, someone started a topic.
Hearing this, Lin Chen's face darkened.
"I heard that Li Daoyuan is extremely talented. He is ranked ninth on the Billboard. It is said that he is a genius that is rare to see in a hundred years in the Li family."
"The Liu family has become increasingly weak in recent years, so marrying into the Li family is a helpless move."
"Think about Li Daoyuan. He already has six concubines. The Liu family will marry a direct family member as a concubine. It is simply an insult to his status."
"You don't understand. Today's Liu family can't compare with the Li family at all. It would be great if they could get married. Who cares about Li Daoyuan's character? The Liu family is probably eager to marry Liu Yanran as soon as possible to promote cooperation between the two families."
Various noisy discussions came, and Lin Chen's face became even more ugly after hearing the words.
Liu Yanran grew up in Qingzhou and studied at Wu Jizong. Not long after she returned to the Liu family, the Liu family arranged a marriage for her.
This marriage is obviously just a combination of interests, and there is no emotion involved.
While Lin Chen was thinking, suddenly, the joy bell on his body made a strange movement.
Lin Chen took out the Happy Bell and received a message from Liu Yanran.
"Brother Chen, farewell to Qianlong Mountain. How have you been lately?"
The familiar gentle woman's voice was Liu Yanran's contact with him through Huanxin Bell.
Liu Yanran's tone was low, as if she was in a bad mood.
"The Alchemist Association will have its assessment tomorrow. I'm in the Imperial City and will bring a junior brother here to participate." Lin Chen replied briefly.
"Do you have time? I want to meet you." Liu Yanran whispered softly.
"Yanran, it's getting late. If you have anything to do, just say it." Lin Chen said slowly.
"It's nothing serious, I just thought that since you come to the Imperial City, I'd like to meet you."
"Are you in any trouble?"
"No...no." Liu Yanran hesitated.
"The Liu family forces you to do things you don't want to do?"
"You know everything?"
"Well, I will come to you after the Alchemist Association's assessment is over. Don't worry, no one can force you to do anything you don't want to do."
Lin Chen left a sentence and then closed the chat.
"Qingfeng, you go back to your room first. You have nothing to do at night, so don't go out."
Lin Chen gave an order, and then walked out under the cover of night.
Liu Qingfeng nodded and did not dare to ask Lin Chen what he was going to do.
…
Tianji Tower.
The major forces in the imperial city are intertwined and include various wealthy families.
There are also Dayu College and Canglan College, where elites gather and the strong ones are like clouds.
In addition, there is a special force called Tianji Tower.
Tianjilou mainly engages in information and chamber of commerce business.
Lin Chen, wearing a black robe and covering his face with a black cloth, came to Tianji Tower to inquire about information.
On the first floor of the Tianji Building, a slim female steward with a white jade ribbon tied around her waist and a short skirt with exposed thighs received Lin Chen.
Lin Chen was brought to the private room.
The private room was quiet, with only her and Lin Chen present.
People who come to buy information often need to be secretive and not reveal their identity. Tianji Tower can completely do this.
"Sir, what information do you want to consult?" The female steward was very polite, with a smile on her face.
People who can come to Tianji Tower to buy information are not ordinary people.
The information in Tianji Tower is very expensive, and ordinary people simply cannot afford it.
"I want information about Li Daoyuan, including his strength, background, and character." Lin Chen said calmly.
Hearing this, the female steward showed a look of surprise in her eyes.
The information Lin Chen consulted was actually easy to find out in the Imperial City.
Li Daoyuan is the genius of the Li family and a monster at the top of the list. His strength and background are not secret.
"Is this all the young master needs?" the female steward asked.
"Um."
"Thirty gold coins."
Lin Chen didn't say much and took out thirty gold coins.
He collected a lot of wealth in Qianlong Mountain, and now he still has more than 2,300 gold coins, so he is considered rich.
Soon, the female steward brought the relevant information.
Lin Chen read it quickly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Li Daoyuan, the second son of the head of the Li family, is sixteen years old, in the first level of creation, and has a six-star iron-blooded silver wolf spirit.
At such a young age, he has broken through to the realm of creation. Li Daoyuan's talent is truly amazing.
Li Daoyuan acts domineeringly and is known as the Little Devil. He bullies men and dominates women. He runs rampant in the imperial city and no one dares to control him.
There was once a young lady from a small family who was attracted by Li Daoyuan and wanted to take her as a concubine.
The family refused, which led to the disaster of annihilation.
After reading all the information, Lin Chen's face became increasingly gloomy.
What a Liu family, in order to cooperate with the Li family, they want to marry Liu Yanran to such a scumbag.
Liu Yanran is Lin Chen's fiancée. She has been through life and death with him several times and has a deep relationship with him.
Lin Chen couldn't just watch the Liu family push Liu Yanran into the fire pit. He had to do something!
Li Daoyuan was in the first level of creation, and Lin Chen was completely confident in dealing with him.
However, one needs to beware of the masters around Li Daoyuan. With his status, if he goes out, there is a high probability that there will be strong men following him.
Lin Chen found the female steward: "I want more information about Li Daoyuan. When does he usually go out and who does he bring with him?"
The female steward's eyes narrowed slightly, and she couldn't help but be extremely surprised when she guessed that Lin Chen wanted to attack Li Daoyuan.
You know, Li Daoyuan has a profound background and is still a top talent on the charts.
Lin Chen was only in the Linghai realm, and if he wanted to deal with Li Daoyuan, he would probably die.
However, the female steward didn't say much. Tianjilou is responsible for selling information and will not ask about guests' privacy.
"Five hundred gold coins."
The female steward quoted the price directly, five hundred gold coins, which was considered a high price.
What Lin Chen had previously consulted was only basic information about Li Daoyuan, and it was easy to find out.
However, if you want to know when Li Daoyuan will go out and what the strong people around him are like, this is confidential information, and the price will naturally be higher.
"Can."
Lin Chen took out five hundred gold coins without saying a word.
The stewardess leaves.
After about a stick of incense, the female steward came to the private room again.
"Sir, the information you want."
The female steward took out an envelope, handed it to Lin Chen, then turned and left.
Lin Chen opened the envelope and his eyes suddenly turned cold.
