Chapter 67: Do you know that she is actually your granddaughter?
He looked at the girl, obviously hoping she would leave.
There were things that ordinary people shouldn’t overhear.
It wasn’t just a matter of understanding, hearing them could very likely lead to a fatal disaster.
However, Ying Zijin just sat on the stone, eating her lollipop without a care.
She gazed at the sky, leisurely basking in the sunset.
The young man moved his lips, somewhat displeased, and had no choice but to look at the man: “Isn’t she…”
Fu Yunshen glanced at him indifferently, uttering the same two words: “Continue.”
The young man’s expression tensed, and he lowered his head, quickly resuming his previous report: “The estimate is that it will arrive within a month, and the locations for the other three types of medicinal ingredients have been disclosed, though no one has taken them.”
“One plant is under the deep sea, the other two in the center of the desert, the danger is too great, I’m afraid it would require the top twenty on the list to take the job.”
“Hmm.” Fu Yunshen smiled cynically, “So, is it that the bounty reward is too low?”
The young man nodded: “Those on the list aren’t short of money, and the rewards for the medicinal ingredients are lower than for assassination, so naturally, they won’t be tempted.”
“Then increase it tenfold,” Fu Yunshen said calmly, “I want to see all six medicinal ingredients within a month.”
The young man was greatly shaken: “Yes.”
After a pause, he hesitated: “But these six medicinal ingredients, four of them are extremely poisonous, even many of the Poison Masters on the list wouldn’t dare to touch them lightly, can they really save lives?”
They aren’t for killing people?
Hearing this, Ying Zijin turned her head.
Fu Yunshen did not respond but simply said: “You can go now.”
Knowing his temper well, the young man did not press further, gave the girl another glance, and then left.
“Yaoyao.” Fu Yunshen walked over and extended a hand to pull her up, “Let’s go too.”
Ying Zijin didn’t move; she looked at him, her gaze faint: “Aren’t you afraid I’m deceiving you?”
Indeed, more than half of the six medicinal ingredients she had provided were highly toxic.
Just a touch of it could kill ancient martial artists in an instant.
Fu Yunshen was taken aback for a moment but then laughed: “Hm? Deceiving me? Little friend, if you say you’re deceiving me, what’s in it for you?”
He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, seemingly quite regretful: “Except for money, I’ve only got my face left.”
“For—” Ying Zijin squinted her eyes, thought for a moment, “my own amusement.”
“…”
Fu Yunshen raised an eyebrow: “Yaoyao, that’s a bit too much.”
“Oh, then let me console you.” The girl took a lollipop out of her pocket and handed it over, “What is NOK?”
“A forum.” Fu Yunshen did not hide anything, speaking lazily, “You can post bounty information there to trade with other users.”
“There are many extraordinary people there, but also a lot of bad ones, a mixed bag. Brother doesn’t recommend you play around there.”
Ying Zijin didn’t ask further, just nodded and continued eating her lollipop.
Right, she would check it out herself when she got back.

Ying Luwei made sure that the photos had not leaked out and that the milk tea shop had no surveillance before she finally felt somewhat relieved.
The last surveillance footage was too strange, she had to be cautious.
By now, Ying Luwei truly didn’t dare to seek Ying Zijin out anymore, afraid that the girl would say something else and damage her reputation further.
As she wasn’t the defendant for the court session on the 17th, there was no need for her to appear, and she wouldn’t lose anything.
With more time passing, nobody would remember it.
Now, she just needed to focus on practicing the piano and working on her music.
Ying Luwei opened a folder which contained a dozen or so musical scores.
This was a piano piece originally composed by Vera Hall—
“Sun and Moon”.
Its difficulty ranked among the top piano pieces in the world, and she had yet to master even eight bars.
And she had already promised her fans that the next time she held a concert, she would play “Sun and Moon”.
Ying Luwei furrowed her brows, feeling incredibly frustrated.
Was this piece actually playable by humans?
