Iron Egg's Suggestion
Looking at Qin Yu's departing figure, the group of people muttered, "Where did this lunatic come from..."1
"That person looks familiar. I think I've seen him somewhere before."
"I have the same feeling. He... He is Qin Yu!"
...
After Qin Yu walked out of the restaurant, he rushed toward the Tianyun Sect.
"What are you doing?" Iron Egg's voice sounded in his mind.
Qin Yu said coolly, "Going to the Tianyun Sect, I can't implicate others."
"What are you afraid of? There are Guardian on Earth. Would the Tianyun Sect dare to cause trouble? Unless they are tired of living." Iron Egg mocked.
Hearing this, Qin Yu froze.
That's right. Back when Yan Ruoxue went to Earth, even she was warned by the Guardians, let alone a small Tianyun Sect?
Qin Yu froze on the spot. He frowned and said, "But... My friend is still in the Tianyun Sect."
"Your friend? Why do you care? You can't even protect yourself." Iron Egg sneered.
"When you are strong enough, you can go and avenge them."
"No." Qin Yu refused without thinking.
"I can't let others take the blame for me."
"Fool." Iron Egg laughed coldly.
"Let me tell you. The Holy Region is an extremely cruel place. The cultivation world is cruel by nature. The people at the top of the pyramid are always a small group. If you want to climb up, you must do whatever it takes. No one will help you out."
Iron Egg's words weren't false. Unfortunately, Qin Yu didn't want to live this way.
Qin Yu could show no mercy to strangers, but he could not do that to the people he loved.
"How about this?" Iron Egg seemed to see through Qin Yu's thoughts.
"You can go hide near the Tianyun Sect. If the Tianyun Sect wants to harm your friend, you can decide what to do."
Qin Yu was silent for a moment, then said, "There must be pictures of me everywhere near the Tianyun Sect."
"Isn't that simple? Just buy a human skin mask and conceal your face," said Iron Egg.
"There's such a thing?" Qin Yu was surprised.
Iron Egg sneered, "Of course there is. Don't forget, this is the Holy Region! Even your Earth has it, let alone the Holy Region."
Qin Yu thought for a moment and agreed.
Thus, he immediately set off.
His destination was Gu City.
The only person he could ask for help now was probably Sister Lin.
Without stopping, Qin Yu returned to Gu City.
The entire Gu City was full of Qin Yu's wanted posters.
Fortunately, the entrance wasn't guarded heavily as before, so it wasn't difficult to sneak in.
"Are you sure the person you are looking for won't betray you?" Iron Egg asked in his mind.
Qin Yu shook her head and said, "I don't know. I can only try."
At the auction house.
Sister Lin had finished her day's work and looked a little tired.
In addition to hosting the auction, she had to put away all kinds of treasures.
Therefore, it was quite late when she walked out of the auction house.
She brushed some straying hair from her forehead and let out a long sigh of relief.
At this moment, a hand suddenly reached out from the dark and covered her mouth.
Panicked, she struggled with all her might, but could not break free.
Qin Yu pulled her into a dark corner and whispered into her ear, "Shh, Sister Lin, it's me, Qin Yu."
Hearing this, sister Lin immediately quieted down.
Qin Yu eased his grip. After making sure that she wouldn't shout, he completely let go.
Sister Lin quickly turned around. She looked at Qin Yu in front of her and exclaimed, "Qin Yu, why are you here? Don't you know that people from the Tianyun Sect are looking for you?"
Qin Yu smiled bitterly and said, "I know. That's why I came to look for you."
Sister Lin was silent for a moment, and then said, "You want my help, right?"
Qin Yu nodded and said, "I can't find anyone else now. You're my only hope."
"What do you want me to do?" Sister Lin didn't waste any time and asked directly.
Qin Yu quickly said, "Two things. First, I need you to help me find a human skin mask or a magical artifact that can change my appearance. I want the best kind you can find."
When sister Lin heard this, a trace of surprise flashed across her face.
"Second is the Life Aura. Sister Lin, please think of a way to help me find the Life Aura." Qin Yu cupped his hands and said.
Sister Lin said in a deep voice, "The first thing is not difficult, but the Life Aura... is not something that I can find just because I want it."
"That's why I ask you. If you can find it, I will truly appreciate it." Qin Yu bowed deeply.
Sister Lin had been working in the auction for many years and had interacted with people who had treasures. She was probably the most suitable person for this task.
"Okay." Sister Lin thought for a moment and agreed.
"When do you need it?" She asked.
"The sooner the better," Qin Yu said.
Sister Lin nodded and said, "Give me an address. I'll have it delivered to you in three days."
"Okay." Qin Yu nodded and said, "In three days, I'll wait for you at the Three Stars outside the East Gate of Gu City."
