The imperial concubine is charming and coquettish, she crazily criticizes the tyrant for spoiling he

Chapter 568 Yunhe
To dare to run a shady business, and have run it for so long, attracting so many scoundrels, this owner is no ordinary person. Having been bound all night and witnessed so many deaths, Yinglai, though on the verge of death, hadn't mentally collapsed. Hearing Qing Sang's words, knowing he was still useful, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He immediately admitted defeat to save his life: "My lords, I was blind and ignorant, and offended you all. I know I was wrong, please spare my life! I will tell you everything I know. The Star-Picking Tower is in the easternmost part of Zhongzhou, and this is the westernmost part, a long distance away. To get there quickly, you need to go to Wugui City first, then teleport to the nearby Mingyue City, and then take a flying boat from there. I have connections, and I can take you there directly without waiting." As if afraid that he would lose the opportunity if he spoke too late, he quickly gave Qing Sang the answer he wanted.

"Hmm." Qing Sang nodded. She knew that the owner of the shady shop who could run it safely here must have a lot of connections.

After breakfast, Qing Sang released his grip on the boss, but the boss dared not escape. He had just watched as the alluring woman released an insect that crawled into his mouth, and he didn't dare harbor even the slightest disrespectful thought. He had long heard of the renowned Gu Clan of Blue Creek Continent, and had witnessed the terrifying power of their Gu techniques firsthand last night. So, he obediently led them to a camel caravan and immediately set off across the desert to No Return City.

Xi City was a small border town, and it took them two days of non-stop travel with the caravan to reach Wugui City. Wugui City was the largest city in western Zhongzhou, so its teleportation array was constantly bustling with people. To travel to other cities via the teleportation array, one even needed to queue for three days in advance to obtain a number. Therefore, walking the streets of Wugui City, one could see all sorts of people: merchants, cultivators, and ordinary citizens.

However, this was not difficult for Yinglai. He led Qing Sang and the others directly to the gate of the post station where the tokens were distributed, bowing and scraping with a fawning expression, saying, "Please wait a moment, sirs!" He then immediately turned and went inside, returning shortly with a token. Without any waiting, he led them directly through the teleportation array. Upon arriving in Mingyue City, he used the same method to immediately help them obtain tickets for the next flying boat. These flying boat tickets were not easy to obtain; they required not only expensive spirit stones but also connections. Yinglai did his utmost to help Qing Sang and the others, hoping only to save his own life, and dared not relax for a moment. Only when he saw Qing Sang and the others board the flying boat did he wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, thinking he had escaped a calamity. He was just about to hide and start over when, unexpectedly, the moment the flying boat took off, he suddenly froze on the spot, and a moment later, only a pile of clothes remained on the ground. He seemed to have forgotten that Qing Sang had never said he would let him go, but only that he could live a little longer. Now that he had been allowed to live for two more days, that was long enough.

Upon boarding the flying boat, Qing Sang realized that the welcoming boss had been hiding something. The flying boat didn't actually reach the Star-Picking Tower; it only reached the area where it was located. No one knew the exact location of the Star-Picking Tower. Anyone seeking help could simply hang a request sign at the Star-Picking Pavilion, and if someone accepted the request, they would receive a response. The Star-Picking Pavilions were scattered throughout the major cities of Zhongzhou, essentially their properties. To enter the Star-Picking Tower, there was no other way than for someone from within the Star-Picking Pavilion to greet you.

Upon arriving in Mingyue City, Qing Sang sent a message to her master, Yun He. So, when their flying boat landed, they saw a handsome, refined middle-aged man in a white robe, his hair tied up high, standing there smiling at them. The starlight on his white robe shimmered faintly in the sunlight—the attire of the Zhaixing Tower members. Everyone around him stood respectfully behind him, making room for him. They were even curious about who this person was that warranted a leader from the Zhaixing Tower personally coming to the ferry to greet him.

"Master!" Recognizing the figure from afar, Qing Sang jumped off the flying boat and ran towards Yun He without waiting for it to land and come to a complete stop. "Long time no see!"

"Long time no see! My dear disciple, your master has been waiting for you for a long time!" Yunhe was very pleased to see Qingsang again, which is why she had been waiting outside for a long time.

After introducing the others who arrived later, Qing Sang couldn't wait to say, "Master!" But before she could finish speaking, Yun He took out a jade token, wiped it with her hand, and a door appeared out of thin air in front of them: "We'll talk about it when we get back!" This door was the one leading to the Star-Picking Tower.

Once they had all gone inside, the door vanished from its spot, leaving the onlookers still buzzing with discussion.
