His Highness the Crown Prince Always Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 609: Laying an Inescapable Dragnet

Bing Yan City sealed off the city for five days, but still gained absolutely nothing, and was forced to open the gate to the south again.

The auction to be held in a month had spread, and people from all directions were rushing to it. If the gate still wasn’t opened, Bing Yan City wouldn’t be able to withstand the pressure.

In the Bing Yan City Lord’s Mansion, a middle-aged man with a cold expression sat at the main seat, and an elderly man stood below.

“City Lord, the closed city gate has been opened, and the real Ji Qian has also appeared in the city. There’s still no news about the one who impersonated him.” The elderly man said.

The middle-aged man at the head seat looked gloomy, “It seems that it’s impossible to monopolise that person. We can only see whether this person will really appear at the auction as expected.”

“Every time that person goes to a place, he’ll sweep up resources wantonly. The resources to be auctioned at the auction this time can be used by many Spirit Sovereigns. I think that person will definitely come.” The elderly man said confidently.

He had studied the trails of that mysterious person. This decision wasn’t a daring statement, but the result of his divination.

The middle-aged man nodded: “With the news of the auction, he probably wouldn’t delay at other cities. Let’s get ready and go there directly.”

In fact, he didn’t hold much hope to catch the person in Bing Yan City. After all, the person’s hiding method was too clever.

But he was still a little disappointed. If he caught the person, then he could turn him into Bing Yan City’s own exclusive Alchemist, but if he caught the person at the auction, he’d become the exclusive Alchemist of the Eighteen Cities.

“We determined that he would appear, but the problem now is how to keep him.” The elderly man said with a sigh.

The middle-aged man smiled, and a fierce look flashed across his eyes: “Don’t worry about this, the Eighteen Cities will set up an inescapable dragnet, and several Spirit Venerable grand ancestors will take action too. I don’t think he can escape from our hands this time.”

“That’s good.” The elderly man nodded.

Yu Qing Qian didn’t know that the other party was going to set up an inescapable dragnet just to catch her. Right now, she followed Ji Qian and used the teleportation spiritual plants in various cities to arrive at Cang Nan City where the auction was held.

Cang Nan City was also the home of the Ji Clan. Ji Qian took Yu Qing Qian directly back home and settled her in a quiet courtyard.

“Brother Yu, this yard belongs to me. No one dares intrude and disturb me, so you can stay here with a peace of mind.”

Ji Qian paused, then said: “Recently, I need to help the family handle the auction. I’ve already ordered that if you want to go out and wander around, you can come and go as you like. If something happens, just send me a message.”

“Alright, go do what you need to, I’m too lazy to go out and wander around recently. I’ll just refine he potions and inscribe the plant inscription talismans in the courtyard used to trade with you later.”

Yu Qing Qian said with a half-smile: “But you have to send the potion and plant inscription materials I need as soon as possible. I’ll use the potions to offset the material costs.”

“Haha, that’s absolutely no problem. I’ve already ordered people to collect them and will send them to you this afternoon.” Ji Qian laughed heartily.

If it were other spiritual items, it’d be quite troublesome to collect them, but high-level potions and plant inscription materials were much simpler.

There were relatively fewer humans in the Land of Imprisonment, and even fewer people had the talent for potions and plant inscriptions. Demonic plants couldn’t refine potions or engrave plant inscriptions, so the chamber of commerce had a lot of advanced-level materials collected over the years. There was no worry that Yu Qing Qian wouldn’t have enough.

In the next month, a large number of potion and plant inscription materials were deliberated to Yu Qing Qian’s yard, and her potion and plant inscription skills continued to improve.

On this day, the auction finally arrived, and Ji Qian personally came to the yard to invite Yu Qing Qian to go to the auction site together.

Note: Happy New Year everyone! By now, most countries should’ve celebrated the new year right? XD May this year be the year our dreams come true~ Teehee
