Jiang Che reached out and stroked Yun Ying's long, flowing hair, blinked, and asked teasingly.
"Bad guy!"
"You always bully me!"
"I've fallen for you; my life is ruined!"
Yun Ying pursed her red lips, gave Jiang Che a charmingly disdainful look, and gently punched Jiang Che's chest with her small pink fist.
Her voice was charming and soft, no longer as forceful as before.
The anger in Yun Ying's heart had long since vanished with Jiang Che's passionate kiss, and now there was no resentment left in her heart.
"I'll go back to the Yun residence with you tonight..."
"But before that, I need to prepare some gifts..."
Does your father have any hobbies?
Jiang Che pondered for a moment, then slowly asked.
Having already seduced someone else's daughter, Jiang Che knew he would have to face Yun Hong sooner or later, so he wasn't flustered.
Since it was his first visit to his future father-in-law's house, he knew he had to bring a gift, and it couldn't be too cheap. So Jiang Che decided to cater to his tastes and first try to find out some information from Yun Ying.
"Hobby?"
"Drinking counts as one thing..."
"My father also enjoys collecting antiques and famous paintings..."
After thinking for a moment, Yun Ying finally answered Jiang Che's question.
"I see……"
"You can go back now. I'll come to visit later..."
Jiang Che seemed to be deep in thought, and reached out to pat Yun Ying's shapely buttocks a few times as a gesture.
"Then I'll wait for you at home..."
After leaving Jiang Che's embrace, Yun Ying glanced deeply at Diao Chan beside her, said nothing more, and quickly disappeared into the vicinity of the martial arts arena.
"Come on, accompany me on a trip!"
After Yun Ying left, Jiang Che gave an instruction to Diao Chan, who was standing to the side, and then turned and left.
Now that we know Yunhong's various preferences, we have a clear idea of what to do with the gift.
Jiang Che wasn't interested in antiques or calligraphy and paintings, so he could only try his luck at auction houses to see if he could buy any valuable antiques.
As for drinks?
He could only try his luck at the auction house for a while. After all, the brewing technology of this era had reached its peak, and all kinds of fine wines and spirits were emerging one after another. They were no less than the so-called fine wines before his transmigration. Therefore, Jiang Che could not follow the example of other transmigrators who had studied distillation technology and thus shocked the world.
"Chan'er understands..."
Diao Chan responded softly, following closely behind Jiang Che's steps, and accompanied him as they left Qingyun Manor.
...........................
Walking along the bustling Zhuque Street, Jiang Che strolled around with Diao Chan for a while before finally arriving at an auction house called Wanbaolou.
This is the largest auction house in Chang'an City. It is said to be an extremely powerful force with numerous branches throughout the entire land of China and the nine provinces of the world, housing countless treasures.
It is said that as long as you have spirit stones, you can buy any rare and precious materials you want.
Jiang Che naturally had no shortage of cultivation resources. After becoming a true disciple of the academy, the cultivation resources he could obtain were far greater than that other cultivators could even imagine.
Each month, I can receive a thousand high-grade spirit stones, and there are countless other resources such as pills and spirit fruits, which is more than enough to supply my daily cultivation needs. Therefore, I have never been to a place like Wanbaoge before.
After entering the lobby on the first floor and confirming Jiang Che's identity, Jiang Che and Diao Chan were led directly to the VIP box on the third floor by a maid.
Although this was Jiang Che's first visit to Wanbaoge, his identity as a true disciple of the academy was no secret and had already spread throughout Chang'an City.
Powerful forces like Wanbaoge had naturally heard the news long ago, and therefore treated Jiang Che with utmost respect, even fawning over him.
After all, this is Chang'an City, and if Wanbaoge wants to continue its business, it will inevitably have to deal with the official level.
The academy is an institution belonging to the Empress alone. Jiang Che's ability to become a true disciple of the academy is obvious to even a fool. He must be the Empress's confidant. In addition, Jiang Che's cultivation is quite impressive, so he is completely worthy of such treatment.
"This servant will take her leave now..."
"If Young Master Jiang has any instructions, please just ring the bell on the table..."
After serving some delicacies, the maid glanced at Diao Chan with some envy, then slowly retreated and closed the door behind her.
After the maid left, Jiang Che glanced at Diao Chan and then pointed to his shoulder.
"Chan'er understands..."
Diao Chan understood immediately. Although she was extremely unwilling, she had to pretend to be obedient and compliant. She stood gracefully behind Jiang Che and began to massage his shoulders with her slender hands.
Seeing Jiang Che's blissful expression, Diao Chan felt a surge of anger.
Although he really wanted to teach this guy a lesson, he was too weak to do so, so he could only sulk in silence.
It's really strange, why doesn't her charm have any effect on Jiang Che at all?
Could it be because the difference in cultivation level between her and Jiang Che is too great?
Enjoying Diao Chan's soft, boneless hands massaging him, Jiang Che spent 500 high-grade spirit stones to bid on two jars of century-old wine, an antique, a painting by a master from a previous dynasty, and several small gifts before leaving Wanbao Pavilion with Diao Chan.
........................
By the time the two left, the sky was gradually darkening, the sun was setting, and there was less than an hour left until sunset.
"What's wrong with you? Are you worried?"
On the way back to Qingyun Manor, seeing that Diao Chan seemed absent-minded, Jiang Che frowned and asked a question with feigned hesitation.
"nothing……"
"I suddenly remembered some things from the past, which is why I feel a little down..."
"I'm sorry to have troubled you, young master..."
Diao Chan shook her head slightly, a smile blooming on her pretty face, and casually made up some nonsense.
"One must always look forward..."
"The past is too painful to recall, so there's no need to look back..."
"You should return to Qingyun Manor first; I need to go to the Yun Residence..."
Jiang Che glanced at Diao Chan meaningfully, but did not expose her lie. He gave a brief instruction and left Wanbaoge first.
Although Diao Chan's cultivation level wasn't high, it was still considerable. Jiang Che wasn't worried about any unexpected events happening when he sent her back to Qingyun Manor alone.
"Please wait, young master..."
Seeing Jiang Che's figure gradually disappear into the crowd, Diao Chan quickly returned to Qingyun Manor.
Returning to her room, Diao Chan set up a simple isolation array and, after confirming that no one else was around, took out a communication spirit stone from her storage bracelet.
While at Wanbaoge, Diaochan had already received Cao Cao's message, but of course she didn't dare to reply to him directly in front of Jiang Che, which is why she delayed until now.
She infused a wisp of spiritual power into the communication stone, and Cao Cao's message resounded in her ears.
"How did things go?"
It was just a very ordinary and brief greeting, nothing special.
After organizing her thoughts, Diao Chan finally replied to Cao Cao.
"Reporting to my lord, I have successfully infiltrated Jiang Che's inner circle..."
"However, we don't have a good plan yet regarding the Hujiaqin..."
"Jiang Che's cultivation has broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, and he has temporarily taken over the Hu Jiaqin..."
After replying, Diao Chan quickly established contact with Cao Cao, whose tone was filled with undisguised excitement.
"You've successfully infiltrated Jiang Che's inner circle, and the Hu Jiaqin is still in his hands?"
"Yes, my lord..."
Diao Chan replied softly, not understanding why Cao Cao was so excited after hearing this news.
"Diao Chan, how have I treated you all these years?"
Cao Cao remained silent for a while before suddenly asking this question.
"Our lord treats his subordinates extremely well..."
"It was our lord who bestowed upon us a new life..."
Although she felt that Cao Cao's question was somewhat inexplicable, Diao Chan suppressed her disgust and spoke respectfully in order not to let this cunning and treacherous man notice anything amiss.
She harbored a deep hatred for Cao Cao, wishing she could kill him, but given his tyrannical power, she could not possibly utter these words aloud.
"very good!"
"You really are a grateful person!"
Cao Cao seemed quite satisfied with Diao Chan's answer. He then changed the subject, his tone carrying an undeniable air of doubt, and gave a deep order.
"Now it's time for you to report back to me, the Prime Minister..."
"Within three months, you must bring the Huqin safely back to Weidu!"
"When necessary, you can give up some things..."
"This mission must succeed; failure is not an option!"
Originally, Cao Cao was not so anxious, but Xu Fu, that old fellow, had been doing something mysterious lately, which made Cao Cao feel an unprecedented sense of urgency.
That's why he couldn't wait to obtain the Huqin, go to the East Wind Altar, acquire that legendary power, and then dominate the entire Three Kingdoms region to complete his grand ambition!
After hearing Cao Cao's words, Diao Chan's pretty face turned pale, her fists clenched, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Although Cao Cao did not say it explicitly, how could someone as intelligent as her not understand the implied meaning of his words?
She was only at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, so her charm techniques were ineffective against Jiang Che, and she had no chance to poison him. What way could she possibly use to get the Hu Jia Qin from Jiang Che?
What else could it be but this innocent body?
The best way to gain Jiang Che's complete trust is undoubtedly to become one of his women, just like Yun Ying and the other women.
