People in Douluo, the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 191 191. Yin Hongchen’s temptation!

As the door of the banquet hall slowly closed, everyone had anticipated the miserable state of the young man in brocade robe, but no one felt sorry for him.

Is being naturally cold a disease? What does it have to do with you whether someone is sick or not?

She's a flat girl who doesn't even have the courage to wear women's clothes, and you're still here giving her knives. People who know that you like this type of girl will think that you're deliberately making fun of her.

Lin Yue couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so she quickly grasped the hems of her skirt, slowly walked down the platform, and came to Zhu Ningyu, saying apologetically, "Miss, I'm so sorry. To express my apology, I happen to have two skirts that are suitable for you. Take them as an apology."

As she spoke, Lin Yue waved her hand, and two maids came out from the side, holding Zhu Ningyu's arms and walking towards the backstage.

Hong Ling did not step forward to stop her. She had specially checked Zhu Ningyu's body last night and confirmed that she was undoubtedly a woman...

Hong Ling suddenly thought of something, and her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Lin Yue...had figured out something and was using this method to investigate the two of them separately?

As an intelligence officer, Hong Ling naturally would not believe in any coincidences, let alone believe that a disciple from a large soul master family would fail in such an occasion. All of this... could only be a pre-arranged drama.

But... this is also good news. The high-ranking officials of the Sun-Moon Empire used this relatively gentle method to investigate, rather than using force to escort them to the dungeon and torture them. This means that they were just suspicious of their identities and wanted to test them in this way.

In fact... the real situation is not much different from what Hong Ling thought. Bai Yiyi's identity can withstand investigation. The high-level officials of the Sun and Moon Empire do not doubt Hong Ling's identity, but... the time when Zhu Ningyu appeared is a bit coincidental. She arrived at the Jiuyang Pawnshop last night, and the Mingdetang warehouse caught fire at noon today. The specific cause and the arsonist have not been found yet, so it is reasonable to investigate.

Just as Zhu Ningyu arrived backstage, she bumped into a middle-aged woman with long burgundy hair, who looked about 50% similar to Meng Hongchen.

Zhu Ningyu hurried forward to greet her, "You, you must be Elder Yin... right? I heard my cousin mention you last night. She said you are a very career-oriented woman."

This is indeed true. Yin Hongchen is Jing Hongchen's eldest daughter. She manages half of the Hongchen family's industries, often plays the role of auctioneer, and presides over top auctions in Mingdu. Except for her slightly poor cultivation talent and only level 91 soul power, she is considered a relatively versatile woman.

Yin Hongchen pretended to be puzzled and asked: "You are..."

Zhu Ningyu hurriedly explained: "My name is Bai Yu, Bai Yiyi is my cousin, the one whose grandmother is the daughter of the Hongchen family who married out."

Hearing this, Yin Hongchen said "Oh" as if she had suddenly realized something, and quickly grabbed Zhu Ningyu's hands, saying with a smile: "So you are Bai Yu's cousin, if you don't mind, just call me Sister Yin, we are all family, there is no need to be so distant."

Zhu Ningyu: ?????

Is Yin Hongchen sick?
Bai Yu is Bai Yiyi's cousin and has no blood relationship with you, Yin Hongchen. How can you be a family?
Or... is there some other deeper meaning in these words?
Thinking of this, Zhu Ningyu pretended to be terrified and said, "No, no, no, I don't dare. Who am I, and who is Elder Yin? I dare not call you sister. Please don't humiliate me."

Qin Yi has lived for more than two hundred years and has extremely rich life experience. During his school days in his previous life, he was often scolded by his class teacher. It is not difficult for him to reconstruct the behavior of a small person.

However... there was one thing Qin Yi didn't realize. Whether he was playing Zhu Ningyu or Bai Yu, his behavior and even his spirit, if observed carefully, would definitely reveal a lot of Ye Xishui's shadow. Zhu Ningyu's true-to-life performance caught Yin Hongchen off guard. It wasn't that there were flaws in Zhu Ningyu's words, but... it was too perfect, and he portrayed the panic of that little person to the fullest.

Feeling the Soul Saint-level aura emanating from "Bai Yu", Yin Hongchen's gaze became more profound. A Soul Saint, in a small place, is considered a well-known figure. Titled Douluo do not go to the countryside, and the status of a Soul Saint is not that high, but it is not too low either. Bai Yu, who had long escaped from the bottom of society, had just arrived in the imperial capital and had already changed his identity?

It’s not that Yin Hongchen was finding fault with everything, but at this critical juncture, she had reason to suspect everyone.

Oh, by the way, as long as we check "Bai Yu"'s body and confirm that he is not wearing any treasure that can conceal his aura, that should be enough.

An ordinary Soul Saint simply does not have the ability to sneak into Mingde Hall's warehouse and set fire.

Thinking of this, Yin Hongchen pushed Zhu Ningyu onto the chair and began to tear off the brocade robe on her body.

"Yin, Elder Yin, if you want, we can go somewhere else to have fun. The backstage area is too small. If someone finds out, it won't matter to a small person like me, but your reputation will be damaged."

Looking at the movements of Yin Hongchen's hands, Zhu Ningyu not only did not struggle, but a hint of excitement appeared on her face, and she was just short of writing the words "want to make progress" on her forehead.

Ah this...

Seeing that Zhu Ningyu had misunderstood, Yin Hongchen hurriedly explained: "That... cousin Baiyu, there is nothing wrong with my orientation. To tell you the truth, I am here on the orders of my father to investigate whether you have hidden your cultivation. Please... cooperate with me."

"Cooperate? Haha!"

Zhu Ningyu sneered, then took off her clothes and threw the storage ring in her hand at Yin Hongchen's face.

Seeing this scene, Yin Hongchen couldn't help but feel a little guilty. When "Bai Yu" had done nothing wrong, she actually forced a body search. Her behavior at this time was beyond the bottom line of being a human being.

However, the spirit master who can sit in this position may not be too strong, but he is definitely thick-skinned. Yin Hongchen searched Zhu Ningyu's storage ring carefully as if nothing had happened.

After confirming that there was no problem, Yin Hongchen said apologetically, "I'm sorry, cousin Bai Yu, I was... abrupt and shouldn't have doubted you. How about this, I'll find you a job in Mingde Hall as compensation for you."

As she spoke, Yin Hongchen quickly took out a burgundy palace dress from her storage bracelet and put it on Zhu Ningyu personally.

Zhu Ningyu... No, Qin Yi was completely confused. He originally wanted to visit the Sun Moon Empire and drag the Sun Moon Empire into trouble, but how come... he got promoted?
He doesn't want a promotion!
