Meng Mansion is in the west of the city, and Wanchun Tower is in the east. If you want to get from here to Wanchun Tower as quickly as possible, there is only one direction to go.
However, except for one main road in that direction, there are all streets and alleys, and only two people can pass at a time.
It just so happened that there was that main road not far from Meng Mansion.
Although it is said to be a main road, it is actually about five times wider than the streets and lanes.
Fortunately, there were no hawkers out this morning, and this road allowed more than ten people to pass by side by side.
But such a big road is now crowded with people!
Almost everyone in the West City was crowded on that road, heading towards the east of the city.
Fortunately, the Jade Palace is in the south direction of the city, otherwise Xiao Wu would have been squeezed into a meat pie.
"Yunmiao..."
Ye Linyuan looked at the crowd in a daze: "Do you think these people are all here to see the oiran?"
"Maybe he's going to see the princess."
"Yes!"
After being reminded by Yun Miao, Ye Linyuan remembered that Xiuyun Tower was also in the east of the city. Naturally, this group of people might have gone to see the princess who was not seen yesterday.
However, judging from the fact that Ye Xianyu attracted a lot of people yesterday with the statement "Oiran appears", it is more likely to go to Wanchun Tower.
"Whether we go to Wanchun Tower or Xiuyun Tower, we should still take a look."
Ye Linyuan said and took Tang Yunmiao to Yukong. Like Han Zhuyao, he was a person with Yukong's permission.
In this case, this permission is simply not very useful.
Although he had permission, it was still not good to be seen by the people. Ye Linyuan deliberately flew higher and landed above a thin layer of clouds.
As soon as he climbed into the sky, Ye Linyuan was shocked by the sight in front of him.
Countless monks were flying in the direction where they were, at least tens of thousands of them!
The monks quickly descended as soon as they reached a certain distance. Judging from their location, they should have reached the east gate of Yujing.
"With so many monks, they can't come to see An Zhiruo, right?"
Ye Linyuan's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Although the oiran of Wanchun Tower is famous, it would be too much to attract so many fourth-grade monks!
"To be honest, I'm a little curious about the oiran."
Tang Yunmiao turned to look at Ye Linyuan: "Linyuan, we should be able to go up to the ninth floor today, right?"
"certainly!"
Ye Linyuan patted his chest and promised: "Isn't it just a ticket for tens of thousands of demon cores? I can still afford it!"
Ten thousand first-grade demon cores are only worth one fourth-grade demon core.
Ordinary fourth-grade monks couldn't take it out, but Ye Linyuan didn't know how many he had collected.
After all, that prodigal senior Xuying has a sixth-grade demon core and doesn’t want to eat a fifth-grade one.
Now there are still two of Jade Perry's sixth-grade demon cores that she has not destroyed, let alone the fourth-grade demon cores.
"Hey, boy, if you are so generous, those old men will also give away their tickets."
Han Zhu Yao's voice suddenly appeared behind him, startling the two of them.
He turned to look behind him and couldn't help complaining: "Old Han, you can't even get out a fourth-grade demon core, can you?"
"Huh? A fourth-grade demon core? Hahaha!"
Han Zhu Yao couldn't help but laugh and said: "Boy, you don't think that those ten thousand demon cores are all first-grade, do you?"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Ye Linyuan was stunned for a moment. After hearing what Lao Han said, he remembered that something was wrong.
When he wants to climb from the third floor to the fourth floor, he needs to spend one first-grade elixir, which translates into ten first-grade demon cores.
If it were four to five, it should be a hundred demon cores.
According to this ratio, converted into eight to nine, that is one million demon cores.
The price of this Ten Thousand Demon Core is indeed not reasonable enough.
"I heard from my senior brother that these ten thousand demon cores seem to be judged by the oiran."
"Oiran judgment?"
Ye Linyuan guessed: "Could it be that the oiran decided to give out ten thousand demon cores of what grade when he climbs the building?"
"right!"
Han Zhuyao nodded beside him, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes: "Not long after I climbed Lingtianmu, I came to Wanchun Tower once.
At that time, the oiran pointed me to a third-grade demon core, which was the envy of many monks at that time!
That scene is simply more comfortable than when you climb up to the Lingtian Curtain!"
Ye Linyuan suddenly became curious: "That was eighteen years ago, right? Have you seen the oiran?"
"Yes, I did, but she didn't choose me."
As Han Zhuyao said, his tone suddenly dropped a bit: "No, it should be said that I didn't choose anyone.
It happened to be Wednesday, so she... forget it!
Let's not talk about this anymore. In short, I will not go upstairs again.
If you want to climb the stairs, you'd better show off your strength before climbing the stairs, otherwise the oiran will point out a seventh-grade demon core to you and you won't be able to climb until you die."
After the old Han said this without thinking, he fell from the air. According to today's plan, he had to protect Xiao Wu at all times.
Originally, the protection of Xiao Wu was left to the Meng family ancestor, but he insisted on volunteering, so Ye Linyuan had no choice but to let him.
Now it seems that he must have been emotionally injured at the beginning, otherwise he would not have deliberately avoided the ninth floor of Wanchun Building.
"Now I am more and more interested in the ninth floor of Wanchun Building."
"We'd better go there first."
Tang Yunmiao said from the side: "With so many monks coming, maybe my senior brother is also here.
It’s Wednesday this year, so there’s no way he won’t come.”
"makes sense."
After Ye Linyuan said that, he flew towards the east of the city with her.
Since he was not in a hurry, Ye Linyuan couldn't fly very fast. He turned to her and asked, "Yunmiao, do you think any courtesan has come down from the ninth floor?"
"Yes, at least... I know one."
"who?"
"Twenty-one years ago, my mother."
Ye Linyuan:(°Д°)?!
"Then the person she chose at that time wasn't..."
"Who else could it be?"
Tang Yunmiao rolled her eyes at Ye Linyuan: "I learned about this from my master."
"This is strange. Isn't your mother a disciple of Tianjian Sect? Why did you become the oiran of Wanchun Tower?"
Ye Linyuan still remembers when Tang Yunmiao told her about her mother's identity when she was in Zui Jianyuan.
"She only joined the Tianjian Sect after coming out of the ninth floor."
Tang Yunmiao did not intend to hide it from him, and told everything she knew: "When the Demon Emperor walked the world, he used the identity of a disciple of the Tianjian Sect.
My mother naturally followed him and joined the Tianjian Sect. As for what happened next, I am not very clear about it.
All I know is that after the Demon Emperor’s identity was exposed, my mother also disappeared with him, and later she appeared in the human realm again, in the Demon Slaying Pass.”
"My mother-in-law has had quite a rough experience...wait a minute, what happened next?"
The two of them happened to be in the sky above Xiuyun Tower at this time. Ye Linyuan looked down and saw a scene that made him unbelievable.
"Huh? That's..."
Tang Yunmiao lowered her head, then rubbed her eyes, and looked carefully at the scene in front of Xiuyun Tower with her golden eyes lit up.
