Chapter 1828 - 827: Effective
It’s not that Fang Yu is making a fuss.
But Zhuge Shi’s words make it sound like she planted countless money trees, and she could have as much money as she wanted—it’s just... too false!
Yet Zhuge Shi is so mysterious that even Tianji Pavilion is provoked, and she can recognize the Supreme Golden Petal Flower, leaving Fang Yu with lingering uncertainty.
After thinking for a moment, Fang Yu asked.
"So, Tianji Pavilion is hunting you down because you have the cultivation method for the Supreme Golden Petal Flower?"
Zhuge Shi only laughed, not answering.
Fang Yu frowned.
To be honest, he still didn’t quite believe Zhuge Shi’s nonsense.
Because the court lacks everything except resources.
Although Fang Yu couldn’t find the Supreme Golden Petal Flower in the Capital, whether he sought help from Bo Mansion or spread the word himself, he couldn’t hear anything about the Supreme Golden Petal Flower, only saying it might be sold at that underground auction.
But Fang Yu was clear that the big forces in the Capital and the high-ranking officials on the court have no lack of resources.
Just a mere Supreme Golden Petal Flower, what could it count for?
By the ton, perhaps not.
But taking out a dozen, dozens would still be more than sufficient, it’s just that these people simply wouldn’t sell such good stuff to outsiders.
So the Supreme Golden Petal Flower shouldn’t really count for much to the court, or to Tianji Pavilion.
The cultivation method might really have such value, but Fang Yu always felt Zhuge Shi was hiding something.
After thinking for a while, Fang Yu said.
"Give me the Supreme Golden Petal Flower and I’ll grant you freedom."
"Not enough." Zhuge Shi responded directly.
"Not enough?"
Fang Yu was taken aback.
"How is it not enough? What else do you want?"
"I want you to ensure my safety."
An extra burden?
Just having Ding Hui already made Fang Yu cautious, he didn’t want any more burdens...
Wait!
"Are you saying you can get the Supreme Golden Petal Flower even in the Capital in a short time?"
"Of course!"
Zhuge Shi nodded.
The energy of the organization is beyond ordinary people’s imagination.
If the organization is willing, members distributed all over will gather all the Supreme Golden Petal Flowers needed here.
For time, it would probably be done in less than a month or two.
However, that requires a premise.
Such a precious thing, how could the organization hand it over to outsiders?
Thus, what Zhuge Shi said was false; she had to survive first, then deceive Fang Yu to join the organization, and finally fulfill the promise.
"..."
Zhuge Shi had her schemes, and so did Fang Yu, as he was also thinking.
Despite sensing oddities, Fang Yu decided to agree first for the Supreme Golden Petal Flower.
"Alright, I’ll protect your safety. But in return, I need to see your sincerity."
"No problem, what do you need me to do?"
Zhuge Shi looked indifferent while her heartbeat inexplicably sped up.
"The Supreme Golden Petal Flower. Within a day, get me a hundred Supreme Golden Petal Flowers for inspection."
Fang Yu thought he was making an exorbitant demand, but never expected...
"Seven days, fifty flowers."
What?!
Fang Yu was greatly shocked, thinking he had misheard.
This woman, can she really get them??
In seven days? Fifty flowers?
Fang Yu’s heart raced a bit faster.
He looked at Zhuge Shi as if gazing at a moving Ultimate Golden Petal Tree, its branches full of Supreme Golden Petal Flowers.
To conceal his real thoughts, Fang Yu quickly thought, and without pausing, immediately said.
"Three days, eighty flowers."
"Five days, seventy flowers, no more."
Fang Yu laughed.
"Okay."
He knew negotiations weren’t his strong suit, but this result greatly exceeded his expectations.
One Supreme Golden Petal Flower is about the size of a fingernail, seventy flowers might be... wait! Maybe it’s not that much...
Fang Yu was so thrilled earlier, he overlooked a crucial point: his Golden Finger was diluted and proliferated by Ding Hui, a normal Supreme Golden Petal Flower is enough for only a fingertip, seventy flowers would perhaps... cover a few fingers?
Not enough, not nearly enough!
The ideal situation is complete Golden Bone coverage.
Fang Yu originally wanted more, then thought again...
This is just the beginning, it can only be considered a deposit. If Zhuge Shi really has this ability, then he must get a large amount of Supreme Golden Petal Flowers from her to refine his skeleton to Golden Bone!
"How do you plan to act? You’re still injured and being watched by Tianji Pavilion..."
"That’s where I need Young Master Diao’s help."
Zhuge Shi said with a smile.
Obtaining the Supreme Golden Petal Flower also requires a price.
In three to five days, she needs to gather this number of Supreme Golden Petal Flowers, getting more is not an issue.
Because the organization has quite a reserve.
But the premise is she must first contact the organization to use Floating Dragon’s authority to get the Supreme Golden Petal Flower.
Once she contacts the organization, her safety will no longer be an issue, nor will she be under Fang Yu’s control.
So, the premise of everything is to first contact the organization!
"Young Master Diao, is it convenient now? Accompany me on a trip?"
Fang Yu’s gaze narrowed slightly.
Just as he thought, indeed Zhuge Shi has an organization behind her.
With a slight ponder, Fang Yu said.
"It’s possible, but first I have a few questions I hope you’ll answer truthfully."
Zhuge Shi laughed.
"Young Master Diao, we’re now in the same boat, wouldn’t I deceive you?"
Full of nonsense, should have known to wait until Ding Hui was awake to interrogate her.
