Joining the Joyful Union Sect, My Life in the Grip of My Senior Sister

Chapter 277: Youth Doesn’t Know the Value of a Rich Woman, Mistaking a Young Girl for a Treasure

Lin Fengmian and Jun Yunshang arrived at the center of the city, where a huge circular wheel was slowly turning.

The Bloodline Wheel was fixed here by powerful magic, or else it would likely have been taken by another heir to the throne long ago.

Jun Yunshang took out a small knife and carefully pricked her fingertip, allowing a drop of blood to fall into the Bloodline Wheel.

The wheel absorbed the blood and quickly began to spin, releasing a strange wave of energy before settling down.

After the registration was completed, Jun Yunshang asked quietly, “Where shall we go next?

“Let’s find a place to stay first, then we’ll make further plans.”

Lin Fengmian had initially wanted to take Jun Yunshang to find something to eat, but upon seeing the surrounding crowd, he quickly changed his mind.

Although he liked drawing attention, he didn’t want to be treated like a spectacle.

The two of them made their way to the best inn in town, the Shanhai Residence, which according to Jun Yunshang was a renowned and long-standing chain.

When the innkeeper saw Lin Fengmian and Jun Yunshang enter with their entourage, he became worried.

Were they here to cause trouble or rob the place?

With a forced smile, he cautiously asked, “Are you two here to dine or stay?”

“One of your best rooms,” Lin Fengmian replied curtly.

“A room?” Jun Yunshang asked, her eyes wide.

“One room,” Lin Fengmian repeated with certainty.

“Oh…”

Jun Yunshang’s face immediately turned as red as a tomato and she lowered her head, too shy to look anyone in the eye.

The surrounding onlookers gasped, and the whispers only made her want to sink deeper into the ground from embarrassment.

The innkeeper gave a meaningful smile before saying, “Alright, a first-class room, young master. Would you like any additional services?”

“Bring some good wine and food to the room. Otherwise, don’t bother me,” Lin Fengmian instructed.

“Of course! Your Highness, that will be twenty top-grade Spirit Stones. Any balance will be refunded,” the innkeeper said with a flattering smile.

Before Lin Fengmian could respond, Jun Yunshang silently handed over the twenty top-grade Spirit Stones without even lifting her head.

After all, she remembered that Young Master Ye didn’t seem to have any Spirit Stones.

The crowd watching this interaction immediately started whispering.

“No way, Princess Yunshang is so proactive?”

“They were together all the way. They must have already done what they were supposed to do. What’s the big deal?”

“God, Ye Xuefeng actually made Princess Yunshang pay with spirit stones. What a beast!”

…

Hearing the gossip and seeing the innkeeper’s knowing look, Jun Yunshang immediately regretted her actions. She felt like digging a hole and hiding.

This is so embarrassing! This is the death of my reputation!

Lin Fengmian, however, was unperturbed. He took the token given to him by the innkeeper, declined the offer to be shown to the room, and calmly said, “Let’s go.”

Jun Yunshang kept her head down and followed Lin Fengmian, just wanting to escape the situation.

After they left, a crowd of people immediately rushed forward shouting.

“I want to book a room right next to theirs!”

“I can add more spirit stones! Give me the room, give it to me!”

…

Meanwhile, Lin Fengmian couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight of Jun Yunshang, who was practically hiding her face in her chest.

“Are you trying to be an ostrich?”

Jun Yunshang covered her face with her hands and groaned, “This is so embarrassing, Young Master Ye! Why did you have to take a single room?”

Lin Fengmian shrugged his shoulders, “It’s safer this way. Otherwise, if someone kidnapped you, I wouldn’t even know about it.”

“But this is a truce zone! No one is allowed to fight!” Jun Yunshang tried to explain.

“If someone wants your life, even a death soldier can take you,” Lin Fengmian sneered.

Jun Yunshang had no answer to that, then weakly added, “But Shanhai Residence has independent villas…”

Lin Fengmian slapped his forehead. “Why didn’t you say that before?”

Jun Yunshang immediately became slightly upset, voicing her dissatisfaction, “Why do you look at me like I’m a burden?”

“I don’t want to share a room with you,” Lin Fengmian replied.

“Are you afraid that you cannot control yourself?”

“No, I’m afraid that you won’t be able to control yourself and will start to have inappropriate thoughts about me.”

“I wouldn’t do that!” Jun Yunshang retorted, her frustration rising. But when she saw that Lin Fengmian wasn’t joking, she was even more hurt.

Am I really that unattractive?

Lin Fengmian really didn’t want to share a room with Jun Yunshang. After all, with beauty right in front of him, it would be absurd.

With Luo Xue around, he couldn’t take any liberties even if he wanted to.

In such a situation, being in the same room with a beauty like Jun Yunshang felt like a form of torture.

Upon entering the room, Lin Fengmian immediately activated the room’s protective formation to block any outside observation.

Jun Yunshang breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the formation in place.

However, judging from the curious glances outside, they were probably fantasizing about something else entirely.

Lin Fengmian turned around with a slight smile and said, “A single man and a single woman alone in a room, you must be…”

This time, Jun Yunshang quickly nodded, “Yes, yes, Young Master Ye, I understand.”

“Rest assured, I won’t have any inappropriate thoughts. I’ll sleep in the living room tonight, and you can sleep in the bedroom.”

Lin Fengmian, momentarily speechless at being interrupted, sighed, “Fine, since you’re the one paying, you sleep in the bedroom.”

Without further ado, Jun Yunshang grabbed a blanket and handed it to Lin Fengmian, saying irritably, “Here!”

Lin Fengmian, holding the blanket in confusion, thought, “Did she peek at the script?

She’s already predicting my answers. Incredible!

He put down the blanket and asked helplessly, “Has Elder Huang sent any messages?”

Jun Yunshang nodded eagerly, “Yes, I received a message from them yesterday.”

“They are almost in Linyuan City and should be back in Junlin City in a few days.”

Lin Fengmian nodded and tossed a black robe to her, saying, “Let’s sneak out and see if we can find anything useful.”

After a quick change of clothes, the two of them sneaked out using the small teleportation array at the Shanhai Residence.

This was a special customer-only passageway that allowed guests to leave the inn at any time, which was one of the reasons the Shanhai Residence had remained in business for so long.

However, Lin Fengmian felt that someone was tailing them. After all, there weren’t many teleportation exits, and the two of them were dressed entirely in black, making them stand out.

But he hadn’t really intended to hide from Jun Fengya; he just didn’t want to be treated like a monkey.

They purposefully made their way to the Treasure Pavilion in the city, where a beautiful attendant immediately greeted them.

“How can I help you, honored guests? Our Treasure Pavilion has everything you need, just ask.”

“Do you have any top-grade Spirit Fusion Pills?” Lin Fengmian asked.

“Uh, sir, we don’t have any…” The attendant’s expression became slightly uncomfortable.

“Then what about mid-grade Spirit Fusion Pills?” Lin Fengmian pressed.

“We don’t have those either,” she said awkwardly.

“I thought you said you had everything?” Lin Fengmian said somewhat confused. “What do you actually have?”

The attendant’s expression became even more awkward, “I’m sorry, sir, but we haven’t had any Spirit Fusion Pills for sale lately.”

Jun Yunshang was startled and asked, “Why is that?”

The attendant gave a bitter smile, “All of our Spirit Fusion Pills were bought out… every last one of them.”

Lin Fengmian paused for a moment, deep in thought, then silently led Jun Yunshang out of the Treasure Pavilion and headed to another shop in the city.

As expected, he received the same response.

All the Spirit Fusion Pills, regardless of their quality, had been bought up all over the city.

Lin Fengmian immediately thought of Jun Fengya and cursed under his breath.

This woman actually bought up every single Spirit Fusion Pill in the city.

She’s ridiculously wealthy!

Lin Fengmian couldn’t help but glance at Jun Yunshang and silently remembered a saying:

Young people don’t appreciate the value of a wealthy woman, and they mistake a young girl for a treasure.
