Chapter 160: A Gray Card

Shu Yue raised her head and glanced at the five-story building in front of her. She paused briefly, then lowered her head and walked toward the entrance.

A male attendant stood by the door. Seeing the Mirror Flower Water Moon Transformation, he stepped forward and greeted her.

“Hello, sir. Do you have an appointment?”

“Charles.”

Shu Yue stopped and looked at the attendant, casually making up a name.

The attendant thought carefully for a moment, but could not recall any guest named Charles with an appointment.

But while he was thinking, Shu Yue had already vanished.

When the attendant realized Shu Yue was gone, he was startled at first, then began looking around.

“Where did he go?”

“Kevin, what are you doing?”

A rough voice came from behind. Kevin’s heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly turned around with a smile.

“Lord Supervisor Victor, just now, just now there was a person here. I asked his appointment name, and he said it was Charles…”

“A person? Where is there a person? And what Charles? What I clearly saw was you talking to yourself here.”

The supervisor named Victor had slicked-back, glossy black hair. He glared at Kevin with an unfriendly expression, clearly dissatisfied with his performance.

Especially when he saw Kevin looking terrified and then trying to explain that he really had seen someone, Victor’s patience had already run out.

A door attendant was not worth much patience to him.

“Do your job well, Kevin. If you can’t, then get lost and crawl back to your slum!”

“Yes, yes, Lord Supervisor…”

Kevin’s face was somewhat pale. He still could hardly believe it.

He had clearly seen a person, so how could that person have disappeared?

Just moments ago, he had clearly seen a person standing right in front of him.

But Victor, who had walked out through the door, could see them at a glance. They were standing beside him, yet they all seemed to have become unable to see her.

“What kind of ability is this?”

Shu Yue watched this scene with great interest.

She really was standing right beside Kevin.

She couldn’t figure it out for the moment, but it seemed she no longer needed an appointment.

Shu Yue seized the gap as Victor closed the door and slipped inside in an instant, stirring only a faint breeze.

Lord Supervisor Victor felt that faint breeze. He paused for a moment, but did not take it seriously.

This was a very high-class tavern. Even the air carried a faint aroma of wine, while a scent of incense also filled the space.

Shu Yue looked at the instrument that no one was playing.

If she went over and pressed a few keys, would Lord Supervisor Victor think the building was haunted?

Shu Yue only thought about it and did not actually do it.

She found the stairs and went up to the third floor.

Shu Yue stood in the broad corridor paved with red carpet.

She passed by a man and a woman.

The woman looked to be in her early twenties. Her bright red dress clung to her figure, and her delicate, well-proportioned face wore vivid makeup. Her looks were quite outstanding.

Combined with her curvaceous figure, she was like a blooming rose, and she gave off a scent of three parts wine and seven parts ambiguous floral fragrance.

The man looked to be around forty or fifty. A few gray strands mixed into the hair at his temples, though his face was quite fair. His gaze was somewhat unfocused, and his lower eyelids were clearly swollen.

The man had little color in his face and not much Magic Power fluctuation. He only had the aura of Tier 0.

Tier 0 was considered an ordinary person who had learned a bit of Spell Arts.

Judging by his clothes, his status did not seem low; he could wear luxurious garments and hold a beautiful lover in his arms.

Could this place be used for illicit affairs?

“Keeping lovers is quite common in Noble circles. Most Noble men keep lovers.”

Shu Yue had no intention of making contact. After dodging aside, she waved her hand to disperse the smell in front of her.

She arrived at the room written on the address and pushed the door open.

The scene inside felt somewhat familiar to Shu Yue. Wasn’t this exactly where she had met the old thing yesterday?

So it was here!

She stepped in boldly, turned back to close the door, and entered the room’s main hall.

In the blink of an eye, she saw the old man walk out from behind the curtain, wearing a kindly smile.

“Young Master Liya, you’ve come.”

“I’ve come.”

Shu Yue followed along with some idle nonsense.

“Should I not have come?”

“Heh heh, no, no. It’s good that Young Master Liya could come.”

The old man clearly did not understand Shu Yue’s meaning.

Shu Yue immediately found it boring. She withdrew her gaze and sat down on the sofa nearby.

“Speak. What do you need me to do?”

The old man was somewhat surprised that Shu Yue was so proactive.

Wasn’t Liya said to be a surly wastrel?

All the information said that Liya was a hopeless waste. Even that match at Baizhenye Academy had been arranged in advance, using some secret method to find someone to fight in his place.

Seeing Shu Yue’s utterly unafraid demeanor, he understood.

She knew she was the Chosen One, so she had developed a sense of superiority and felt she was no longer from the same world as others.

As expected, a wastrel will always be a wastrel. No matter what, he still cannot escape the old rut.

The old man kept the smile on his face and took out that gray card, holding it on his aged palm.

Shu Yue’s attention was drawn over. She looked at the card, and a strange feeling rose in her heart.

It was as if some force had seized her mind, making her involuntarily notice it. Her thoughts also began to dwell on it, and everything was falling toward it.

Such an eerie feeling made Shu Yue sit up straight.

She had a feeling that if she used Spirit World Vision to look at this thing, her eyes would burst and her brain would likely burn up outright.

One look would cost Mirror Flower Water Moon one life!

Shu Yue forcibly pulled her attention back. She raised her eyes and met the old man’s cloudy gaze.

“What is this?”

“A very special treasure. That person needs you to bring this thing before Crown Princess Xiya. After using a secret method to make contact with the Sealing, your work will be done, Young Master Liya.”

“Oh?”

Shu Yue understood. They did not intend to tell her the true function of this thing.

“Fine. I will find a way to get close to that bitch Xiya.”

Those words fit Liya’s persona very well.

Shu Yue looked again at that gray card. This time, it no longer gave her that strange feeling.

Just now, the old man had used some method to let her sense the aura of this thing.

The old man smiled and continued:

“Young Master Liya, it also needs to be outside the castle, and as far away from the castle as possible.”

“This…”

Shu Yue put on a hesitant look.

“This condition of yours is a bit harsh.”

“Indeed. That is why only you can do it.”

The old man gave “Liya” tremendous trust, and this trust surprised even Shu Yue a little.

Shu Yue pondered for a moment, then replied:

“I’ll think of a way. I’ll try to get that bitch as far from the castle as possible.”

Hearing this, the old man also smiled with satisfaction.

“Then I wish you success in advance, Young Master Liya.”
