After a quarter of an hour.
Yue Qingzhao showed Ji Changsheng just how ruthless a woman who achieves a high position without relying on her father can be.
Only half of the people on the list came.
Yue Qingzhao emanated a bloody scent even from her hair strands.
"Young Master Ji, everyone on the list who could come has arrived. Those who couldn't won't ever be able to... cough... cough..."
Yue Qingzhao started coughing up blood as soon as she finished speaking.
The people who couldn't come were unable to do so because of the enormous price Yue Qingzhao had paid.
But the result was well worth it.
Ji Changsheng glanced at Yue Qingzhao, then beckoned to Ying Hongye.
Ying Hongye promptly handed Ji Changsheng a small box.
Ji Changsheng opened the box and pushed the Life-Extending Golden Pill inside towards Yue Qingzhao.
"This was originally a Life-Extending Golden Pill that Hong Ye begged from the Master on behalf of Ying the Third. He no longer needs it, so it's yours now."
