ACSP: Chapter 157: This Woman Plays the Double Standard Game Quite Well!
"Luo Yuqing, you were the one who asked the President for this crappy job yourself. The rest of us haven't even complained yet, so why have you started being all gloomy?"
Seeing Luo Yuqing staring blankly while squatting on the steps, Chu Xuan couldn't help but complain.
The others didn't say anything.
But their faces also revealed a look of helpless resentment.
It was only because many rare treasures would appear at this auction.
They had originally wanted to take this opportunity to see them.
In the end, because of Luo Yuqing's actions...
They had lost the chance to participate in this auction.
What was even more ridiculous was...
There were so many tasks within the Chamber of Commerce.
Yet Luo Yuqing had chosen the most boring 'doorman job'.
They were now high-level Contractors of Level 51.
Coming here to grind a low-level task that even newbies would despise.
Wasn't this a complete waste of time?
Hearing Chu Xuan's words, Luo Yuqing finally snapped out of it.
She coughed twice and said, "What do you know? This is the VIP entrance. Those who can enter from here are either powerful high-level Contractors or family disciples and gang backbones with deep backgrounds. This is an opportunity to make connections with them. If you can seize it, doing business in Kang City in the future will definitely be twice as effective with half the effort!"
Chu Xuan looked at Luo Yuqing skeptically. "Are you sure it's for that reason? Nothing else?"
Hearing this, Luo Yuqing's tone suddenly became somewhat flustered. "W-what else? What reason do you think there is?"
Chu Xuan continued to examine her with a scrutinizing gaze. "It's too strange. Ever since we entered that Secret Realm with Jiang Chen last time, you've started acting weird. You were just sitting here in a daze; you couldn't be thinking about him, could you?"
"No way! Don't talk nonsense, why would I be thinking about him?"
Luo Yuqing's face turned red as she quickly explained, "I was just thinking that since we've all successfully unlocked Contract Fusion skills and can be considered high-level Contractors, should we consider going to a High-level Secret Realm to grind?"
Everyone was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.
They didn't expect that Luo Yuqing was actually thinking about this just now.
They were all very much looking forward to High-level Secret Realms.
However, those Secret Realms were different from intermediate ones.
They were places where Kage-level powerhouses would appear.
The danger was extreme.
Even a Secret Realm map on easy difficulty wasn't something an ordinary person could clear.
Although they had all reached Level 51 and met the requirements to enter High-level Secret Realms...
If they wanted to venture into those High-level Secret Realms, it probably wouldn't be easy.
"Excuse me, can we enter early? We'd like to find some better seats inside. We hope you can make an exception."
Just then, several refined-looking young men suddenly approached from nearby. One of them politely asked Luo Yuqing.
As he spoke, he also pulled out a Space Scroll from his robes and handed it to Luo Yuqing.
"There are 20 Silver Chests in here. Consider it a meeting gift for everyone."
—Slap!
Luo Yuqing slapped away the Space Scroll the other party offered without hesitation and snorted coldly. "The auction items are being prepared inside. No one is allowed to enter. I think you'd better stay outside and wait properly."
Seeing that the bribe didn't work, the man immediately frowned and said, "Everyone, we have VIP admission tickets personally gifted by President Xia. Can't you make an exception for that?"
Luo Yuqing gave the man a cold glance, her tone becoming somewhat impatient. "If you don't leave now, I'm going to revoke your eligibility to enter."
As soon as these words came out, the young men immediately backed down, hurriedly picked up the Space Scroll from the ground, and left.
Luo Yuqing rubbed her nose proudly, looked back at Chu Xuan and the others, and instructed, "See? Actually, this task is a lucrative one. Some people who want to peek at the auction items early will try every possible way to enter beforehand. Our duty is to resist temptation and refuse them. As long as I, Luo Yuqing, am here today, no one should even think about any crooked ideas..."
"Excuse me, can we go in to find someone?"
Before Luo Yuqing could finish her sentence, another voice rang out from behind her.
"No, the auction hasn't started yet. Let alone finding someone, even if you want to find..."
Luo Yuqing turned around, just about to lose her temper, when a familiar face suddenly entered her field of vision.
Luo Yuqing's pupils dilated. "Ji-Jiang Chen?"
Li Dala turned to look at Jiang Chen. "Boss, do you know this woman?"
Jiang Chen nodded faintly. "Sort of. We've entered a few Secret Realms together before."
"Is that so? Then it'll be easy."
Li Dala's lips curled up as he looked at Luo Yuqing again. "Little sister, we have some business and want to find your chamber's He Gen. Can you make an exception?"
"No problem. He Gen is currently in the backstage area. After you go in, you just need to..."
At this point, Luo Yuqing suddenly remembered something and changed her tune. "Forget it, I'll take you there personally."
After saying that, she took off her welcoming sash.
Chu Xuan:???
The rest of the welcoming team:???
Seeing that Luo Yuqing was about to lead Jiang Chen's group into the venue, Chu Xuan hurriedly pulled her back and said, "Luo Yuqing, are you crazy? President Xia gave orders before that no one is allowed to enter before the auction starts."
Luo Yuqing lowered her voice. "I know that, but Jiang Chen has a VIP admission ticket personally gifted by my sister. Letting them in should be fine."
Chu Xuan's mouth twitched slightly. "But didn't you just say that even a VIP ticket personally gifted by President Xia is useless?"
Luo Yuqing's cheeks turned slightly red. "Why are you talking so much? Are you the captain or am I the captain? Jiang Chen took us through a Secret Realm before. What's wrong with me returning the favor now? Besides, won't I be following them the whole time? Even if they want to try something crooked, they won't be able to with me around."
"But why do I feel like it's more dangerous with you there?"
"What did you say?"
"No, nothing."
"If it's nothing, then keep a good watch here. I'll be back soon. Also... if my sister finds out about this, I'll hold you responsible."
Luo Yuqing glared fiercely at Chu Xuan, then without further nonsense, she immediately led Jiang Chen and the others into the Chamber of Commerce building.
Li Dala followed behind, intentionally slowing his pace.
Once Jiang Chen and the others had all gone inside...
He immediately went up and patted Chu Xuan's shoulder, chuckling. "You dummy, your captain has obviously taken a liking to our boss. She was clearly opening the back door for our boss just now. Why did you have to go and argue with her? Don't you know that a woman's IQ is negative when she's in front of the person she likes?"
Wood Release Kekkei Genkai can only be used for building houses and as a control skill.
Which genius came up with this idea?
Wood Release is the strongest elemental Bloodline Limit.
Even a Bloodline Selection, which is a combination of three elements, isn't necessarily stronger than it.
Although Yamato's Wood Release is far inferior to the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama's...
If used properly, its combat power can definitely reach the Kage level.
"There's still some time before the auction starts. Let's go find that He Gen first and deal with the matter regarding Brother Cai Kun."
Jiang Chen took out the VIP admission ticket President Xia Qianning had given him last time, and then immediately led Song She and the others to the Chamber of Commerce building.
...
Meanwhile.
Chamber of Commerce building.
VIP entrance.
Luo Yuqing was currently squatting on the steps, resting her chin on one hand. Her gaze was blank as she stared at the surrounding crowd, lost in thought.
She looked like she had a lot on her mind.
The rest of her team was also here.
However, they were all wearing the welcoming sashes reserved for doormen.
Yes.
They were the welcoming team responsible for this passage entrance today.
As the sister of the President, Luo Yuqing originally didn't need to come and watch the door.
But she had previously learned from President Xia Qianning by chance that Jiang Chen had a VIP admission ticket.
Therefore, she had taken the initiative to ask President Xia Qianning for this job of guarding the VIP entrance.
