The Story How I Kept Stealing The Xianxia Yuri Protagonist Harem - Chapter 128: You Got Lucky

“Uh— Ahahaha— Brother Luo, you’ve been so busy these days. Why do you have the time to visit the Pavilion today?” Long Dahai forced a smile and nonchalantly folded the paper in his hand and tucked them into his sleeve.

“My matter has been taken care of, Since I’m still the Pavilion Head, I need to drop by from time to time.” Luo Wusheng patted his shoulder. “No need to hide it, I’ve read it all, and I overheard what you guys were saying just now.”

Both of the scattered cultivators turned a shade paler.

The fake Diviner Gao Shi tremblingly cupped his fisted hand into a palm and bowed. “This humble one greets Pavilion Head Luo. It’s been two days, and your presence is even more remarkable than before. You truly live up to your reputation as the foremost genius of our generation, the future pillar of the Demon Sect— Ah, this humble one suddenly remembered that he left his divination flag at the Red Blossom Pavilion last night. He really shouldn’t stay any longer. I hope Pavilion Head Luo won’t take offense—”

He spoke rapidly, as if his mouth was on fire, and he seemed ready to retreat. But with a slight tremor, he found himself unable to move.

“Hold on a moment, you can’t leave just yet.”

Luo Wusheng narrowed his eyes, enveloping Gao Shi using his spiritual energy. “There are a few things I’d like to ask you.”

He wasn’t particularly concerned about those minor rumors.

In a world where information dissemination wasn’t very efficient, these kinds of rumors concocted by one or two people would hardly have a chance to spread far.

Long Dahai was able to get such information purely because he liked to inquire about such matters. He had a few connections among the city’s pleasure establishments and received all sorts of mixed and often unreliable information. He enjoyed looking into these things in his leisure time.

Perhaps this was one of his few hobbies in this world where entertainment was scarce.

However, to have gossip actually involve him, the Demon Sect’s Holy Saint, was quite something.

After hearing Luo Wusheng’s words, Long Dahai and Gao Shi exchanged a glance, their expressions somewhat bitter.

Could they refuse?

Probably not.

They could only hope that their current boss wouldn’t pursue this matter any further. They had no desire to experience the dangers of the martial world again.

Seeming to cover up the awkwardness, Long Dahai slapped his chest with enthusiasm. “Feel free to ask, Brother Luo. As long as it’s something I know, I’ll tell you everything!”

“Cough, while I may not be knowledgeable about things outside of Calculation Province, if it’s something I know and can speak of, I definitely won’t hide it.”

Seeing his companions acting this way, Gao Shi quickly followed suit.

. . . . . .

Half an hour later, Luo Wusheng left the Demon Artifact Pavilion.

First, after confirming it, he verified that the seed of luck in his dantian wouldn’t react when talking to others.

For the sake of sample consistency, he even went to find the Su family’s young lady who was currently flirting with Old Wang. After chatting briefly with Su Susu, he confirmed that it wasn’t a gender-related issue.

This meant that, at present, the seed of luck’s reaction was exclusive to Lu Yuliu and Bai Xiaoyao.

As for the commonality between the two… both of them were named characters in the original work?

Luo Wusheng decided that he would test if speaking with the Empress or the little pink fox would produce the same results. After all, the Empress had granted him an audience two days later, and the little pink fox would awaken tomorrow.

However, for now, even if the seed of luck displayed some movement, it would ultimately revert to its initial silent state.

‘But if face-to-face conversations only result in a slight reaction to the seed, then to have it progressing further… wouldn’t I need to have a more direct contact?’

Quietly tucking away his daring thoughts, Luo Wusheng recalled some information he had gotten from Long Dahai.

As for why he didn’t ask Gao Shi… Well, that guy was just too useless.

He initially thought that since he was one of the direct disciples of Yue Xuanji, he might have more insight into the [Art of Divination], and maybe even provide him with some information about the ancient loli.

However, that guy shook his head in terror.

It seemed Yue Xuanji had already seen what he wanted to ask in advance and already ordered Gao Shi to not speak of it.

Long Dahai did provide him with some valuable insights.

For example, when he asked about the “Wandering Immortal Inn.”

Luo Wusheng wasn’t very familiar with the Royal City. Most of what he knew came from the original story, where he followed the footsteps of the main character to explore the locations she visited. Other than that, he had some knowledge about major forces like the Immortal Nation and the various major Artifact Pavilions, which were his business competitors.

The thing he knew about the Wandering Immortal Inn is not many, from what he had gathered, the inn was specifically established for disciples from various Sects who came to Royal City to compete in the Human Immortal List. In the original story, Lu Yuliu stayed there after arriving in the Royal City, which led to her discovering the secret plan of the hiding Netherkin Nation soldiers.

He also knew that it was an establishment that had close connections with the Martial Alliance in the Green Province.

So, he took a chance by asking Long Dahai, who hailed from Green Province.

And he did get the information he wanted.

Unlike other provinces which are ruled by a single Sect, the Martial Alliance in the Green Province consisted of a collection of major Sects and independent cultivators from Green Province. As long as a Sect or an independent cultivator met the Martial Alliance’s mission objectives, they could bear the title of a Martial Alliance cultivator, receive protection from the Alliance, and enjoy the benefits of the alliance.

The current head of the Wandering Immortal Inn is actually one of the Martial Alliance cultivators, and from what Long Dahai had heard, the cultivator are currently looking for potential buyers.

‘…In other words, it’s available for purchase.’

Luo Wusheng felt relieved.

The current situation was in line with his intentions.

However, he was a bit disappointed that while Long Dahai knew some information, he had no clue about what made this inn special.

But why did his so-called good luck seem to be related to this inn?

Well, no matter what, he would stick to his original plan: purchase the inn and renovate it in the next two days.

The plan was well thought-out; he was determined to secure this good fortune!

However…

“Ara~ You want to buy my inn? Of course you can~ The price isn’t high~ just twenty Star-Moon Jade will do~”

The white-haired mesugaki sat on top of a wooden platform, looking at the bewildered Luo Wusheng with a mischievous smile on her face.

“It should be a bargain for you~”
