Chapter 23: Merely Coincidence
“Really, is it really ok?” her clear eyes filled with eagerness, but she immediately shook her head and said: “Then please give me some time, i’ll consider about it…”
She did not immediately agree, how could she without knowing who Yi Tianyun is, she didn’t even know his name.
An Ling is so surprised, under normal circumstances people would instantly say yes, but she didn’t instantly accept
Yi Tianyun tried to guess, and whispered, “Is it because your little brother?”
“You, how do you know?” Jiu Lingyun eyes widened, she’s surprised.
“You said it yourself earlier you want to give some silver for your brother right?” Yi Tianyun just guessed the reason out of the blue. Judging from her tattered clothes, she is definitely not from very good family, and she can’t come with us because she has to take care her brother.
“That’s… I am sorry young master, I can’t leave my brother.” Jiu Lingyun wanted to go, but she is worried about her brother.
『Quest: Help Jiu Lingyun’s Little Brother.』
『Reward: 1.000 exp, increase favorability of Jiu Lingyun by 50, and increase prestige by 5 points.』
These tasks just keep coming, and the reward was somewhat ordinary. Yi Tianyun kind of understand why, it’s a common task, and it is optional, so naturally the reward is more common.
“System, what is prestige?”
He’s scrolling down his status bar only to realize that there actually is prestige points, how did he miss that this whole time.

Under his investigation, the effect of prestige is shown.
Prestige: More prestige points will increase your luck.
“It seems that doing good deeds can increase prestige as well. It is just that I don’t know how effective it is.”
Yi Tianyun thought about it. If his prestige point is quite high then combined with lucky aura will greatly enhance his luck.
“I accept then!” Yi Tianyun immediately took the task, “We will bring your brother along as well, we can recruit more people in Jade Palace” Yi Tianyun smiled.
An Ling overhear them, but did not say anything. It’s not a problem to bring back another person. There has been several exception anyways.
“Is it really ok?!” Jiu Lingyun surprise.
“Yes, but let’s go buy something first.” Yi Tianyun told her.
“Then, then I will be waiting for you here.” Jiu Lingyun said: “I can’t go in, people from the slums… can’t go in.”
Wind City does not welcome people from the slums. The residents of the slums have no money. And mostly all they do is selling herbs in exchange for a few silver. It doesn’t make sense for them to loiter inside.
So if you want to enter the building you must dress properly. And obviously residents of the slums can’t afford it because it’s too expensive. At most they can only ask somebody else to bring them in and pay a few silver later on as compensation.
“You will be one respected guest if you come with me, I dare anyone to make a move on you!” Yi Tianyun said solemnly.
Jiu Lingyun looked at his gaze and finally nodded slightly, partly because she wanted to go in but never get the chance to.
Yi Tianyun walked into the Wind Building with Jiu Lingyun, until the guard tries to stop him.
“Sorry, we don’t welcome people from the slums here.” The guards are quite strong, they are around 5th Level of Body Refinement Realm. They are the guards here, which proves that this is not your average building.
“She is with me, problem?” Yi Tianyun eyes were cold, and a strong aura is emitted from within him. The two guards unconciously step back from Yi Tianyun. They know he is more powerful than them.
“No, no problem at all, please, please come in…” the guards let them in while breaking into cold sweat .
Of course they dare not stop such powerful cultivator. It’s not that they absolutely forbid people from the slums to enter. They just think that people in slums don’t have enough money to buy anything here.
Now that a strong cultivator bring her along, they can’t interfere. Anyway, she helped bring in a wealthy customer so no problem.
And even though Jiu Lingyun is poor, her clothes is very clean, moreover you can faintly smell a sweet scent coming from her. As if she adds a few wild flowers to her bath water.
“I, i’m really inside Wind Building…” Jiu Ling is very nervous. This is the first time she come in here. she is definitely so nervous. The most important thing is to be cautious not to damage anything in here. Because she doesn’t have any money to compensate.
“What do you want to buy?” Yi Tianyun asked.
“I don’t want anything, i’m happy enough to look around…”
She shook her head, and everything was expensive, even the cheapest one cost 100 silver. She only had a dozen silver at most, yet the price here mostly hundreds silver or even higher. Seeing the price she can’t help but keep it to herself.
Yi Tianyun took her around, he immediately go to the second floor because he didn’t find the materials he needed. After circling around for a while, he found Jiu Lingyun showed interest on a bottle of pill, but when she saw the price, the faint hope in her eyes is gone.
He immediately understood. This pill is called “Expel Poison Pill”. As the name suggests, it is used for detoxification. However, the price is very high, up to 2.000 silver. No wonder she dared not ask, such amount is enough for decades for her.
“Do you want this?” Yi Tianyun pointed at the drug.
“I…” She was about to say yes, but she realize she can’t kept taking advantage from his kindness, “I want this pill, can i borrow some money to buy it?…”
“Why do you want this pill?” Yi Tianyun asked.
“My brother is poisoned, and he can’t move his feet. I heard that it can be cured by using Expel Poison Pilll. I want to buy it for him.” Her clear eyes sparkled with hope, she honestly wanted to cure her brother.
“Then take me to your brother, I will help you curing your brother, if all you need is this Expel Poison Pill then i can do something.” Yi Tianyun smiled.
“You can?!” Jiu Ling is very excited.
The next An Ling and Qin Xue both looked at each other and felt very confused. Can Yi Tianyun heal as well?
“No problem, now while we are at it, we will buy the materials for that as well.” Yi Tianyun nodded.
When he was going to buy the materials, the familiar voice was heard in his ear. “How can there be people from the slums coming here, Wind building has fallen so low!”
When Yi Tianyun turned his head, he saw someone familiar, Master Kong!
He actually met Master Kong, Yi Tianyun wondered before coming here whether he will bump into him somewhere and now here he is, Master Kong!
