Chapter 49 - Chapter 49: Going to the Imperial Capital and Meeting Ya Fei for the First Time

"Your grandfather?"

Seeing Nalan Yanran like this, Jiang Ping finally remembered.

Isn't Nalan Yanran's grandfather Nalan Jie?

He remembered that Nalan Jie was poisoned to a very serious degree and could not be cured by any medicine. Even the Pill King Gu He was helpless. Only a Heavenly Flame could save his life.

As for whether the Seven Magical Green Spirit Saliva would have any effect, there is no description in the original book, and Jiang Ping is not sure either.

But for the Nalan family, this is probably their last hope.

No wonder they attached so much importance to this auction. It turned out that it was not Yunlan Sect who needed this medicinal herb, but Nalan Jie.

As Nalan Yanran is Yun Yun's direct disciple and the Young Sect Master of Yunlan Sect, Yun Yun naturally cannot sit idly by.

"Senior Apprentice Sister, don't worry, your Grandfather Nalan Jie will definitely get through this and get better." Jiang Ping comforted.

"Well, I also believe that grandpa will definitely get better." Nalan Yanran nodded, forcing a smile on her pretty face.

"Let's go quickly."

The two walked towards the imperial capital.

An hour later, they finally arrived at the imperial capital.

This is not the first time Jiang Ping has come to the capital.

However, the first two times he came to the imperial capital, he was in a hurry to travel away, so he just rode on a flying magic beast and left, and he had not yet had the chance to appreciate the prosperity of the imperial capital.

It was not until now that he was in the mood to appreciate the most prosperous place in Jia Ma Empire.

Compared with the big cities in his previous life, this place is still a little bit inferior.

But there is a different kind of scenery here, which Jiang Ping did not have the opportunity to appreciate in his previous life. It has a unique flavor.

"The auction doesn't start until tomorrow, so why don't we go to my family house and rest for the night." Nalan Yanran suggested.

Jiang Ping nodded and agreed.

The Nalan family is located in the imperial capital and is one of the three major families in the Jia Ma Empire, with an extraordinary status.

There are two main factors that enables Nalan Yanran to have such a status.

One is Nalan Jie, one of the strongest people in the Jia Ma Empire, a genuine Dou King powerhouse.

However, due to being poisoned in recent years, Nalan Jie has been deeply poisoned and is in critical condition.

But even so, not many people dare to look down on the Nalan family.

The second reason is Nalan Yanran's identity as the Young Sect Master of the Yunlan Sect.

With this identity in mind, looking at the entire Jia Ma Empire, no one dares to look down on the Nalan family.

After arriving at Nalan's house, the two walked through the hall and met the current head of the Nalan family, Nalan Yanran's father - Nalan Su!

"Father, I'm back." Nalan Yanran walked quickly to greet him.

"Well, I'm glad you're back." Nalan nodded and noticed Jiang Ping's presence.

"Yanran, this is..."

"Father, he is my junior disciple, the Jiang Ping I told you about... Jiang Ping, this is my father, Nalan Su." Nalan Yanran introduced the two.

"Hello, Master Nalan." Jiang Ping bowed politely.

"So you are Jiang Ping?" After hearing what Nalan Yanran said, Nalan looked at him in surprise.

Nalan Su also knew that Nalan Yanran had lost to a sweeping disciple. (Oh, that is a good Nickname for him…)

At first he couldn't believe it. When did the sweeping disciples of Yunlan Sect become so strong?

Now, the rumored sweeping disciple was right in front of him.

Moreover, why would a sweeper come back with Nalan Yanran?

"I heard that you are still a menial disciple sweeping the floor in Yunlan Sect?"

"Yes, I am currently working as a floor sweeper in the sect." Jiang Ping admitted it openly and proudly, not feeling ashamed at all.

Nalan Su wanted to ask more, but was blocked by Nalan Yanran.

"Okay, father, stop asking questions and let Jiang Ping go and rest first."

After being stopped by Nalan Yanran, Nalan Su finally shut up.

Jiang Ping, led by the household servants, came to the side room and stayed there.

That night, Jiang Ping had dinner at Nalan's house.

However, he could sense that the atmosphere in the entire Nalan Mansion was somewhat heavy.

It was not because of his arrival, but because of Nalan Jie's illness.

The first thing Nalan Yanran did when she came back was to go see Nalan Jie, and Jiang Ping also went to see him.

Nalan Jie's condition was indeed very serious. His forehead was black, his old face was slightly twisted with pain, and he was unconscious.

Even the strong Dou King lost his composure under the torture of the poison.

At this point, Jiang Ping simply said a few words of comfort.

It is not his turn to make a move now. He will have to wait until tomorrow's auction to buy the Seven Magical Green Spirit Saliva. If that does not work for him, it will not be too late for him to make a move later.

Speaking of the auction, after dinner, Jiang Ping made an excuse to go out for a walk alone.

The auction will be held tomorrow. Jiang Ping doesn't have much money now, except for the Seven Magical Green Spirit Saliva, in case he comes across something interesting.

So he had to get some money.

Thus, he went straight to the Miteer auction in the imperial capital.

As the largest auction in Jia Ma Empire, Miteer Auction not only auctions items, but also buys out some rare treasures.

It was already evening, so there were not many people at the auction.

Jiang Ping walked straight over and quickly found the treasure appraisal area in the auction.

Since it was night, there were not many people in the treasure appraisal office.

However, when she saw a guest coming, the maid in charge of reception immediately came forward, showing a professional smile on her pretty face, and asked softly, "Hello, how can I help you?"

"I want to sell some Alchemy Pills. I wonder if you accept them?" Jiang Ping said calmly.

When the maid heard this, she was shocked to find that this young, handsome boy in front of her was probably an alchemist?!

She immediately said respectfully, "Yes, sir, please wait a moment. I will go and ask someone who can make the decision."

The maid bowed very low and retreated respectfully.

Jiang Ping was just looking around idly.

After a while, a charming and tender voice was heard: "Sir, I have kept you waiting for a long time."

This tingling and seductive sound can almost make one's bones go soft.

Jiang Ping also shuddered and turned to look.

He then saw a beautiful woman wearing a red cheongsam, revealing a pair of long white legs and exquisite and plump curves, walking slowly towards him.

The woman's makeup was bright, but it didn't disgust people. On the contrary, combined with her mature and charming face, which looked like a fairy, countless men couldn't help but feel excited when they saw her for the first time.

When the woman saw Jiang Ping for the first time, she was surprised to find that he was so young and yet was an alchemist.

And then when she saw that he was slightly distracted by her appearance, she felt a little more proud.

That's one of her skills!

The woman walked slowly to Jiang Ping, bringing with her a faint aroma, her rosy cherry lips slightly opened and closed, and she said:

"Hello, sir. I am one of the persons in charge of this auction. You can just call me Ya Fei."
