Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 2391: Chapter 2392: Bribery and Winning Over

This time, these young men truly became frightened.

To say nothing else, as long as Ye Luo put their names on the list, they would immediately become Guards, and not even the Patrol Envoy could do anything about it!

These young men were indulgent, but they weren’t fools. What they’d said to Ye Luo before was just their way of venting their feelings of imbalance.

”Uh, Ye Luo, we were just joking with you earlier. No matter what, we’re old acquaintances. If you’re not busy, why not join us for some fun? After all, we’re old friends!” another heir said with a smile.

In actuality, Ye Luo didn’t intend to really turn them into Guards, since he still needed to cooperate with the Patrol Envoy.

”That sounds good!” Ye Luo nodded slightly. Although the others were unwilling, they didn’t dare offend Ye Luo now.

However, Ye Luo wasn’t planning to eat, drink, and play with them. He didn’t have time to waste.

Building a good relationship with them, at least with the Patrol Envoy, could provide some advantages.

The tiger does not eat its own cubs; no matter how incompetent these guys are, they are still the Patrol Envoy’s heirs.

”Ye Luo, we’re curious, how did you become the vice captain? If I remember correctly, you haven’t been a Guard for long!” Inquired one heir named Tianhai. In the Holy City, there weren’t any surnames, and names were pretty much at will without many restrictions.

”I’m just working under the captain. The captain has reached a critical stage in his cultivation, and it just so happens that I’ve earned his trust, so I took a trip on his behalf!” Ye Luo said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, the other heirs sneered, thinking, ”You still know you’re just a temporary captain. Once you lose that authority, you’re as good as dead!”

Even Tianhai showed a change in his expression.

But Ye Luo didn’t mind. If he wanted to deal with these guys, it would be a simple task.

”Meeting is fate; consider this a meeting gift!” With that said, Ye Luo handed him a small bottle.

Originally, Tianhai didn’t intend to accept anything from him, thinking Ye Luo was just a small Guard. What good things could he offer? And these young lords didn’t lack other treasures.

However, when Tianhai saw what was inside the bottle, his eyes widened immediately.

It was the Essence of the Spirit Pool, not only enhancing a cultivator’s strength but also, for cultivators, mostly valued for its potential to advance their cultivation.

But these young lords weren’t interested in cultivation; the realm was inconsequential to them since no one bothered them with the Patrol Envoy’s presence.

Thus, the other purpose of the Spirit Pool’s Essence was something they couldn’t resist!

It could replenish one’s Origin Source, extending the cultivator’s lifespan!

These guys, indulging daily in revelries, had already affected their lifespan significantly. Furthermore, their body’s Origin Source had reached a depleted state, which was the fundamental reason for their shortened lifespans.

But the Spirit Pool’s Essence could precisely replenish these! Resources were already scarce in the Holy City, mostly related to cultivation. Items supplementing the Origin Source were especially rare!

”Sir, such a precious item, I won’t refuse it!” Once it landed in Tianhai’s hands, he naturally wouldn’t hand it over casually!

Ye Luo smiled. His goal was to build good relations with these young lords. Besides, this amount of Spirit Pool Essence was a mere drop in the ocean for him!

Seeing Tianhai obtain such a treasure, the others couldn’t sit still and gathered around.

After all, this item concerned their lives, and even if it required them to please Ye Luo, it was justified, as life was most important.

”What? Why are you all coming over?” Ye Luo asked with a smile.

The young men immediately felt embarrassed, not knowing what to say!

”Since we’re all old friends, I naturally prepared something for you as well!” With that, Ye Luo took out more bottles. While these bottles weren’t quite as potent as Tianhai’s, they weren’t far off.

Of course, Ye Luo had already planned all this out beforehand.

The heirs were elated, eagerly stepping up to receive their gifts.

”In a way, we’re like family now. After all, I’ve been living with your third sister for quite a while now!” Ye Luo said with a smile.

Instantly, the heirs gave knowing smiles.

”That being the case, we won’t consider ourselves outsiders; after all, we’re family now!”

Immediately, the heirs started getting chummy with Ye Luo.

Of course, they were still eyeing the Essence Ye Luo held; nobody thought they had too much of it.

”Come on, Ye Luo, let’s go drink some wine!” Tianhai enthusiastically took Ye Luo’s hand and headed toward the hall.

Inside the grand hall, dancers had long been waiting. Seeing these young lords enter, they immediately gathered around, starting to dance.

Indeed, these young lords knew how to enjoy life, living a life akin to that of immortals compared to the outside world.

Ye Luo, however, didn’t care for such things; he preferred quietness. And the wine they mentioned simply couldn’t satisfy Ye Luo’s taste or, in truth, wasn’t even true wine.

Leaving the hall, Ye Luo headed toward the Third Princess’s room.

Those heirs would surely listen to Ye Luo in the future. If he casually gave them some benefits, they would naturally behave.

But upon reaching the Third Princess’s room, she wasn’t there, and even her maids said she hadn’t returned.

This puzzled Ye Luo; where had the Third Princess gone? Of course, nothing dangerous was likely to happen on the Patrol Envoy’s turf.

Could it be she was summoned by the Patrol Envoy? That seemed plausible.

However, not far away, Ye Luo caught sight of the Third Princess!

She was actually in a thatched cottage, sitting cross-legged in cultivation.

”Sir!”

Upon seeing Ye Luo, the Third Princess immediately approached, a smile finally appearing on her face.

”Why are you here?” Ye Luo asked, puzzled.

”Sir, this place won’t be my home anymore. I intend to follow you and walk my own path!”

She was extremely wise and naturally understood Ye Luo’s intentions. Moreover, she was filled with longing for the outside world.
