Lan Yue lowered her eyelids slightly, the spiritual energy in her body began to fluctuate, and she ford seals with her hands, attempting several arrays, even consuming the gourt pills she carried, hoping to digest or repel this strange tracking. Li Xin could feel the sll of alcohol dissipating, but still couldn't completely eliminate it in a short ti, always leaving a small trace.
After a while, Lan Yue felt helpless. She originally wanted to show off a little; the ability related to alcohol falls within the Gourt Association's domain, yet she truly couldn't solve it at the mont.
Lan Yue opened her beautiful eyes and said with a bitter smile, "Mr. Li, this is a harmless ability. I can eliminate a part of it, but completely removing it will require ti. It becos part of the body upon contact, and spiritual ability cannot activate a defense chanism. It's sowhat similar to our Gourt Association's specialty, but it's not the Gourt Association's power."
Li Xin, of course, knew this wasn't the Gourt Association's power. He was trying to find a solution from similar powers.
"Does the Gourt Association have anyone skilled in this type of spell? I want to know a quick thod to terminate it," Li Xin asked, knowing that finding the thod could lead to clues for the case.
Lan Yue appeared a bit embarrassed; she had been modest just now. In the Li Long Kingdom, she is the highest level spell expert in the Gourt Association. If another person needed to be found, she would have to apply for assistance from the Holy Land.
"It's like this, Mr. Li. This technique is quite unique, using the aroma of wine as the catalyst. The Gourt Association has similar abilities, although rare, they do exist. If you want to find the most direct solution, I can inquire with the headquarters." Lan Yue thought it over and said, suspecting that the solution desired wasn't a slow process, but rather sothing that could completely counteract or resolve it.
"Thank you, President Lan. I'd like to know, hypothetically, if soone were locked onto by this ability without being aware, could they quickly detect and resolve it?" Li Xin asked.
"It depends on the person's ability and level; I apologize, but I can't give you an accurate answer," Lan Yue thought for a mont and opted for a cautious response.
"Let rephrase: assu a high-ranked gourt faces an ambush using this ability—would they be able to detect it and quickly resolve it?" Li Xin inquired.
Lan Yue pondered for a mont, "If it's a high-ranked gourt, they might detect it, but resolving it depends on the gourt's area of expertise. You know, our path as gourts is auxiliary, not specialized in combat."
"Could I trouble President Lan to check with the Gourt Association's headquarters for ? I'd like an accurate answer," Li Xin continued, knowing that understanding the resolution thods could greatly narrow down the suspect's profile.
"Of course, no problem," Lan Yue smiled, "serving you is the Gourt Association's honor."
Looking at Lan Yue's elegant and generous smile, Li Xin paused. "Thank you in advance. How much do I need to pay?"
In the secret world, services and knowledge are equally expensive, so Li Xin wanted to clarify first.
"You're joking. Service for our guests cos with no service fee. You just need to pay for the al, and it's at cost price," Lan Yue was surprised that the guest didn't know about the benefits given to VIPs, but as the server, one should never question the guest.
Cost price?
Li Xin's mind stirred. Next week, Xueyin will have her ntorship ceremony, which requires a banquet. If the Gourt Association could provide a table, it would be wonderful. They certainly couldn't afford to invite everyone, but perhaps a table for seven or eight people. Alas, it's really a stretch; fortunately, Qi Badao is here today to lend a hand.
"For a table of eight or nine, how much would it be?" Li Xin pondered and asked. Three from ho; Kathy can't co; plus Mordo and Grandmaster Philson, leaving a few spots for Aunt Fei and the academy, should be manageable—any more, and he couldn't handle it.
"A table?" Lan Yue's expectant eyes showed slight disappointnt. When a guest cos without ordering, it's undoubtedly a failure on the president's part, especially with such a guest; finally, they ordered, but only a table—perhaps just testing their skill?
"Yes, a table," Li Xin nodded decisively, needing to ask about the price first. If it's too expensive, he'd let it go.
"In that case, I can recomnd you three options: 10 gold for 'Ten Perfections,' 100 gold for 'Hundred Families Battle,' and 1000 gold for 'Irreplaceable,' and there's also 'One in Ten Thousand, Unique.'..." Lan Yue's smile carried satisfaction; the Gourt Association could et Dao Yuan's highest-level needs, and only they could achieve that.
Li Xin felt a tremor in his heart and soul, finding these terms frightening for the first ti. This so-called cost price? I don't believe it!
10 gold, though expensive, is seemingly just within reach.
"Brother Li, there's a promotion of thrift; making it overly grand would be inappropriate. A few tables of 'Ten Perfections' to liven things up would be nice." Qi Badao observed Li Xin's expression and cautiously suggested.
Ten gold, still very expensive, but during such an important occasion, it's worth it. As her brother, he couldn't just stand idly by during Xueyin's significant event.
"Mr. Li, may I know the purpose of your banquet and the guest list? This would help us tailor the nu for you." Lan Yue remained enthusiastic; it's always pleasing to learn when a VIP decides to order.
"It's a ntorship banquet, for the Celestial Principle School's Mordo and Philson, with Grandmaster Philson accepting a last disciple, and possibly a Church Court secretary attending," Li Xin thought it over; even if he doesn't go on the ntorship day, the banquet should be permissible.
Suddenly, Lan Yue's mind buzzed. Hearing the proposal for 10 gold, she had already downgraded expectations to completing a basic service at the lowest standard; how did this suddenly turn into an event of this caliber?
Representatives of the Celestial Principle School accepting disciples, with prominent figures from the Church Court present, ant that this ntorship would gather powerful wish power, which the Gourt Association earnestly sought. This represents another level of demand, incomparable to monetary value; the Celestial Principle School's newfound path is extrely valuable to them, having made no progress previously in Dragon Capital.
The elder was indeed an elder.
"Mr. Li, it's like this: as long as the conditions et the gourt's standards, our Gourt Association provides guests a completely free banquet. You absolutely qualify for this event; would you be willing to use this privilege?" Lan Yue's enchanting eyes gazed at Li Xin, her posture upright, though she tried to contain her emotions, Li Xin still caught a glimpse of her eager anticipation.
No free lunch is truly free; gratis ans the Gourt Association seeks sothing else. The Gourt path depends on other avenues to draw wish power, probably targeting the Celestial Principle School for its newly opened path.
If charging implies a settlent, then free indicates sharing in prosperity, which is not a bad thing for the Celestial Principle School. Good associations and roads can aid in elevating the school, as the current secret paths are intertwined like this.
"Then I shall entrust President Lan with this task." Knowing this, Li Xin naturally welcod the arrangent.
Lan Yue didn't dare to act in front of Li Xin, "It is our honor."
Leaving it to the Gourt Association, Li Xin cared not—they're the true experts. As for resolving the alcohol scent, he'd just await news.
