“How much do you need this time?” Zhao Qingya inquired, raising an eyebrow at Lu Yu.
Lu Yu furrowed his brow, contemplating for a moment before offering casually, “One million. Just a casual allowance for now. I’ll ask for more if it’s not enough.’

Zhao Qingya chuckled. “Alright, a million isn’t a huge sum for me. Spend it as you please, but avoid such lopsided deals in the future. My money isn’t exactly printed.”
Lu Yu flashed a grin and nodded. “Absolutely. By the way, will the transfer be made to my card?”
“Of course. You can relax and head back. The money will be in your account soon. ”
Lu Yu offered a curt nod. “Sounds good. I’ll return and wait for the transfer. Then, I can head out for some shopping.”
Just as Lu Yu was about to leave, his phone rang. Zhao Qingya answered the call, her voice adopting a professional tone.
“City Lord Yuan? What brings you on the line at this hour?”
A brief pause followed.
“Someone offended you? Who is it?”
Another pause.
“Then handle it yourself. Why involve me?”
A hint of exasperation crept into her voice.
(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})
“The other party is a minor power, but not insignificant. You don’t have the energy to deal with them right now?”
Understanding dawned on her.
“Alright, I see you’re still recovering from your injuries. In that case, let me handle it. But remember, I’m leaving in a few days. Don’t come crying to me for help if you can’t settle things yourself then.”
Zhao Qingya sighed and hung up the phone.
“Yuan Huan will be here shortly,” she explained to Lu Yu. “He needs my help dealing with someone. Apparently, his injuries are still bothering him, so he wants me to step in.”
“Seriously. It sounds like the guy’s just plain lazy. His injuries probably aren’t that bad; he just doesn’t want to be bothered. Typical.”
“So, why help him?” Lu Yu questioned.
“Just a favor,” she shrugged. “Since he’s leaving soon and I have nothing pressing on my plate at the moment, I might as well. Besides, if I ever find myself back in Skyplume City, I owe him one.”
Lu Yu nodded in understanding. He pulled a chair closer and settled in.
“Then I’ll stick around and see who this troublesome person is. Someone bold enough to ruffle feathers in Skyplume City definitely isn’t a nobody.” “Indeed,” Zhao Qingya agreed. “They’re likely no pushover. Will you lend a hand?”
Lu Yu shook his head. “Not unless…” he paused, a mischievous glint in his eyes,
(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})
“…they pay me.”
“And the pay is substantial, of course.”
“Knew it,” Zhao Qingya chuckled. “I doubt Yuan Huan can whet your appetite.
He probably can’t afford your rates.”
“No potential reward, no show,” Lu Yu declared with a playful shrug. “Guess I’ll just be a spectator then.”
A short while later, Yuan Huan shuffled into the office, leaning heavily on a walking stick. The sight of Zhao Qingya brought a wide smile to his face. “Mayor Zhao, you’re a lifesaver! Please help me with this. If it works out, I’ll forever be in your debt.”
“Cut to the chase, Yuan Huan,” Zhao Qingya said, her tone laced with impatience. “Tell me what’s going on. Why do you need me?”
“A friend of mine is in a bit of a bind,” Yuan Huan explained. “Someone’s been giving them a hard time. Now, this friend is a distinguished individual but lacks influence in the local area. So, they came to me for help. If you could intervene and settle this matter, I’d be eternally grateful.”
Zhao Qingya frowned, her gaze turning serious. “Your friend’s name? Surely you can share that much? Don’t you have a shred of sincerity in this request?”
“Well, you see,” Yuan Huan stammered, his entire demeanor shifting nervously, “they’re quite private about it. They wouldn’t let me disclose their name.”
“Is that so, or are you simply afraid I’ll take credit for resolving the issue?”
(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})
Zhao Qingya’s pointed question sent shivers down Yuan Huan’s spine. He fidgeted in his seat, his carefully constructed facade crumbling.
“Mayor Zhao, please don’t misunderstand,” Yuan Huan pleaded, his voice laced with desperation. “That’s not what I meant at all.”
“This person’s identity is truly sensitive,” he continued, his expression troubled.
Zhao Qingya tapped her fingers impatiently against the desk. “Yuan Huan, I’m willing to help, but I need more details. How strong is this person? What does he look like? Where is he now? Without any information, it’ll be impossible for me to do anything.”
Yuan Huan sighed helplessly. “Truth be told, I don’t have many details myself.
When this person entrusted me with the task, he was rather tight-lipped. However, from what I gathered, their strength is likely average. As for appearance… well, according to his description, they’re quite unattractive.” “Is that all you have?” Zhao Qingya pressed.
“There’s one more thing. This person apparently purchased a bottle of evolutionary potion for a whopping 250,000 Dragon Coins at the auction.
Seems like they have money to burn, or maybe they were just trying to outbid someone.”
A flicker of surprise crossed Zhao Qingya’s face as she listened to Yuan Huan’s description. Her gaze darted towards Lu Yu.
Wasn’t this a clear case of mistaken identity? Lu Yu had mentioned buying an evolutionary potion at the auction earlier. It had to be him!
“Is there any truth to what this person said?” Zhao Qingya cleared her throat and asked. “Specifically, the description of the person’s appearance. If it’s inaccurate, locating them will be a challenge.”
Yuan Huan furrowed his brow in thought. “There might be a slight discrepancy. He asked me about the target’s appearance, and his response was that the target wasn’t as good-looking as him. Now, considering him…” He trailed off, gesturing vaguely towards himself. “If he wasn’t as good-looking as him, then yes, they must be quite unattractive.”
“Perhaps he simply can’t accept his own looks and has resorted to putting down the other person’s appearance?” Zhao Qingya offered a skeptical look. Yuan Huan frowned. “That’s a possibility… But does appearance really matter?”
“Then what does matter?”She countered.
“Strength, of course!” Yuan Huan declared with a puff of his chest. “With enough power, who dares to call you ugly? Certainly not me. Even if you were the ugliest person in the world, nobody would have the guts to say otherwise!”
Lu Yu coughed lightly, interrupting their exchange. “Speaking of looks, am I considered unattractive in your esteemed opinion?”
“Absolutely not!” Yuan Huan spun around, a servile smile plastered on his face.
“Young Master Lu, your strength speaks volumes. And let’s not forget your appearance—truly handsome!” He chuckled awkwardly.
Lu Yu leaned back in his chair, his voice turning cold. “Yuan Huan, is the person who approached you Yi Tianheng?”
A jolt of surprise ran through Yuan Huan. “What? You know him? Yi Tianheng?
You’re acquainted with Yi Tianheng?” His voice grew increasingly frantic. “Could it be…”
He narrowed his eyes, suspicion coloring his features. “Are you from the Yi family? Is Lu Yu a fake name?”
Lu Yu shook his head slightly. “The only thing between Yi Tianheng and me is what transpired at the auction.”
Realization dawned on Yuan Huan’s face. He gulped nervously.
“About the auction…” he stammered. “Did the two of you… have a disagreement?”
“I think you already know the answer,” Lu Yu replied coolly.
Yuan Huan acknowledged his statement with a defeated sigh. “Yes…”
He took a deep breath, his voice barely a whisper. “Could it be… the person Yi
Tianheng wants me to eliminate is you?”
Lu Yu offered a curt nod. “You’ve finally figured it out. That’s right, it’s me.”
A yelp of surprise escaped Yuan Huan’s lips…
