Chapter 357 Taking Advantage of the Situation
The Heiress’ Return & Revenge
Steven wasted no time and immediately took Aaron to the ancient city.
He had wanted to ask for Baileyâs help before, but the other party didnât seem very willing.
So, he sent people everywhere to search for rare medicinal herbs that were past their expiration date.
He heard that the geomancy master was very interested in these things.
Coincidentally, he had just brought them from Cebros, and now he was going to give them
away.
Steven knew a master from the geomancy association, so he inquired and found the courtyard
where Bailey lived.
-As they approached the door, they were about to knock.
Suddenly, the courtyard door opened, startling the two of them.
Especially since there was no one in front of them before, they had no idea how the door opened. Then
they heard Baileyâs voice.
âYou can come directly to the second courtyard to find me.â
The two of them were shocked again.
Could this be the legendary telepathy? They were even more amazed at how powerful Master Bailey
was.
They walked in with several wooden boxes.
They saw Bailey sitting leisurely in a chair, flipping through an ancient book,
After they entered, Bailey put down the book.
He looked at Steven and spoke first, âAre you here to see me about that matter?â He thought that girl
was really persistent.
She had already come up with a plan so quickly, making the Gray Family come knocking on the door
again.
Otherwise, according to his calculations, the Gray Family would have returned to Cebros

first.
They would have found some masters to help Andrew.
Only after all that failed would they come to the ancient city to invite him.
It would have taken at least a month.
Now, Simone wanted to make things even worse for Jodie.
But since he had promised her, he wouldnât refuse anymore.
Steven smiled and said, âNothing can escape Master Baileyâs notice.â
âThe reason we are disturbing you now is because we received some news.â
âWe thought that maybe using a counterattack spell might be useful, so we came to ask.â
Then he explained the incident where Jodie was harmed by a witch doctor.
And he informed Bailey that they had obtained Jodieâs hair and blood.
After returning to the city, Steven learned that his son had bought Jodieâs hair and blood.
To be on the safe side, he had someone take a strand of hair and do a DNA test with the witch doctor.
The result showed a mother-daughter relationship, so he felt relieved and informed Bailey.
Then he asked, âDo you think the timing is right now?â Bailey looked at him with a smile that wasnât
really a smile, âYou guys are quite clever.â
Steven felt a bit embarrassed and was about to explain.
But Bailey spoke again, âWell, for the sake of Simone, Iâll help your son. Tonight, I will the hospital, so
you should prepare something.â
Steven was delighted and said, âAlright, just tell me what I need to prepare.â
While he was happy, there was also a hint of bitterness.
go to
It was clear that Master Bailey wouldnât have helped his son if it werenât for his daughter. Bailey wrote a
list on a piece of paper and gave it to Steven.
âBuy everything on the list in the ancient city.â
Steven took the list and said, âAlright!â Then, he pushed a few wooden boxes in front of

Bailey.
âMaster Bailey, this is a small token of our appreciation. We hope you wonât dislike it.â
Bailey casually glanced at it and knew what was inside. He simply said, âOkay.â
Originally, Steven wanted to chat with Bailey to build a closer relationship.
But seeing that he picked up the ancient book again and seemed uninterested in them, they had no
choice but to stand up with Aaron. â Master Bailey, weâll take our leave now. Weâll come to pick you up
later!â
Baileyâs gaze remained on the book as he coldly said, âYou may leave.â
He was very protective of his own.
Having acknowledged Simone, he naturally had a strong aversion to the Gray Family.
If it werenât for Simoneâs mischief, he wouldnât have bothered with this family.
So, his attitude wouldnât be particularly friendly
After the Gray Family father and son left, he thought for a moment and sent a message to Simone.
âShall I go to the hospital tonight to perform the ritual? Do you want to come and see?â
Simone knew from the message that the Gray Family father and son had gone to find him.
âIâll go,
Iâll go.
Bailey was very powerful, and she wanted to see what he would do.
Bailey looked at the things on the table and asked, âThe Gray Family gave me some medicinal herbs
that have aged. Do you want them?â
Simone was interested as she practiced a lot of medicine but lacked good medicinal herbs.
She asked back, âYou donât want them?â
Bailey replied, âIâm not interestedâ
Simone: ââ¦â So he just threw them to her because he didnât want them! But it was normal; this guy had
lived for over 800 years.
Although he couldnât leave the ancient city, he could still have people find good things for him to collect
over the years.

âAlright, if you donât want them, then give them all to me. I donât mind.â
Steven was a clever person, and the medicinal herbs he brought for Bailey would definitely be useful
for her alchemy.
She asked again, âBailey, you must have a lot of good things, right?â
Bailey chuckled, âWhatâs this? Are you trying to take advantage of me?â Simone didnât hide it either, âI
have that intention.
Nowadays, itâs difficult to find things that have aged. Even if you have money, itâs hard.
If thereâs an opportunity to take advantage, of course, she would take it.
And she wouldnât just ask for his good things for free.
That cultivation method that could free him from his constraints and help him achieve the state of unity
between man and heaven was also very valuable to him.
It was like an exchange with Bailey
Bailey thought to himself, this girl really isnât polite.
However, he really liked this straightforward personality.
He was most annoyed by those who pretended to want something in their hearts but acted differently
with their mouths.
âThe jade button in your hand is already very eye-catching.â
âIf you bring out some other good things, it will only attract others to snatch them from you.â
âWhen you come to the ancient city next time, I will open the warehouse for you to see.â
He couldnât leave the ancient city; otherwise, he would accompany her on a trip to Cebros.
Also, take a look at what the current imperial city looks like.
With him around, no one dares to act recklessly.
Itâs a shame⦠âAlright, thank you, Bailey!â Simone pondered and realized that if she carried valuable
items with her, she would surely attract the attention of numerous individuals. On her next visit to the
ancient city, she would ensure to capitalize on the circumstances.
Following the recent investigations and confrontations, she discovered that this âBaileyâ was adept at
handling such situations.
