The Fallen Consort

After two weeks on foot, The three finally arrived at the closest Mid-rank Kingdom. The Xiang Kingdom.

The Xiang Kingdom at the edge of the Mid-Rank Kingdoms. One can sense a bit more abundance in spiritual energy compared to Low-rank Kingdoms. They may not be as prosperous as the other Mid-rank Kingdoms but still much better than the Low-rank Kingdoms.

The three musketeers arrived at sunset. All dashing and mysterious, they caught the attention of everyone. Especially the ladies. Yi Ling acting as the leader was walking on the front, while Linyu and The Green Viridis was walking behind her. Yi Ling was the shortest of the three, but she stand out the most. She was like a young noble master, guarded by the two.The Ladies swoon at them and the men were envious. They all wanted to know the newcomers.

The three decided to get room at an inn first , then eat. Mostly for Yi Ling's needs. She felt dirty and starving. The journey was quite far.

--------

After two hours, they walked out from a restaurant. Yi Ling was full but still wanted to roam the night before going to rest. She still have some money left from the last auction but she knows it wasn't going to be enough. She needed to earn more.

Instead of going to the Auction House this time, She went to the Medicine Pavilion. She wanted to see if they have spiritual herbs or regular herbs that she haven't have yet. She can always turn them into spiritual herbs, she thought.

Inside the Medicine Pavilion, It wasn't crowded like the streets. When the three of them came in, everyone looked at their way. They didn't know that they emitted so much audience impact.

Yi Ling walked to the reception. With her manly voice, she asked politely.

"Can you give me a list of all the herbs that you keep in stock? I would like to see if you have anything that I need."

The poor maiden who had the task of being the receptionist for tonight was starstruck. She had never seen any man can be this attractive and he was wearing a mask!. Even his companions were handsome too on their masks. They had the aura of novelty and justice.

She gave him a list and couldn't help but kept glancing at Yi Ling. She blushed. The most handsome man in the kingdom was the crown prince and he was untouchable.

While Yi Ling was reading, Linyu and The Green Viridis was quiet. Before coming into the Kingdom, Linyu commanded the other to only talk if his opinion was needed. Or else Linyu will dump his *ss. The Green Viridis tree didn't like being left behind, so acted like a cute little puppy (more of like a big bad wolf pretending like a puppy) in front of Linyu. He was literally Linyu's tail.

Out of nowhere, an servant came in running and yelling.

"Where's Elder Bai? I need to see Elder Bai! The crown prince needs him!" He was running out of breath. He ran too fast and the distance was quite far as well.

"Elder Bai left earlier this afternoon, He didn't mentioned were he was heading." The starstruck reception replied.

" $(%#@&! what am I supposed to do? The crown prince needs him!" The servant was now sweating hard. He'll be punished real bad if he can't bring Elder Bai with him.

Yi Ling who was standing by the side, was smiling behind her mask. Her eyes lit up when she heard what the servant had said. It seems like she just found her new source of income. She knew how status can make a big difference. She formulated her plan instantly and walked towards the servant.

"Hello, I am Yi Jin. A Doctor from the High-Rank Kingdom, May I know why the crown prince needs Elder Bai?" She cupped her fist as sign of respect.

She was a liar and a fraud. She acted like she knew Elder Bai! Linyu's eyes went wide. He knew her master well, But he didn't know that she can act like this! On the other hand , The Green Viridis didn't really cared. The only thing that mattered to him was his King.

The servant could believe his luck! A Doctor from the High-Rank Kingdom! That was much better than Elder Bai!

Yi Ling smirked behind her mask. She smiled at the thought of her made up name. Yi was her last name and Jin for Brother Jin.

~ Brother Jin, wait for me. I will find you! ~

She promised it inside her heart.
