Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1412 Mystic Auction House (1)



“Master, master! Big news!” Inside a luxury palace, a young woman hurriedly ran over while shouting excitingly.

Sitting in a beautiful garden, Zhou Ling’er looked at the young woman and reprimanded her gently. “Tong’er, how many times have I told you to restrain your manner?”

The young woman, Chu Tong’er, arrived at the pavilion while panting heavily. She didn’t seem to care about her master’s reprimand, as she said. “Master, I just got the news that the Mystic Auction House will put the Soul Rejuvenating Pill on auction tomorrow.”

“What!? Is it true?” Zhou Ling’er immediately lost her composure.

Chu Tong’er nodded firmly. “Yes. I have already checked it multiple times. It’s absolutely true!”

Zhou Ling’er was elated but soon calmed down. She couldn’t help thinking of Yun Lintian… Could it be him?

After returning to the palace, except for her maid, Zhou Ling’er had never told anyone about the Soul Rejuvenating Pill as well as Yun Lintian’s strength. However, she believed anyone could guess it must have something related to Yun Lintian.

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt guilty inwardly. Yun Lintian actually risked his life to help her, a stranger.

“Master?” Chu Tong’er asked in confusion upon seeing her master remain silent.

Zhou Ling’er looked at her maid and said. “Bring my phoenix hairpin and ruyi jade to the pawnshop and get as much money as possible.”

“Ah? That’s not good, master.” Chu Tong’er hurriedly said.

“Do as I said.” Zhou Ling’er said calmly.

“Alright.” Chu Tong’er had no choice but to obey. .

Zhou Ling’er thought momentarily and got up, heading toward the eastern wing palace where her mother resided.

However, when she stepped out of her palace, a young man clad in a brocade robe happened to pass by and said playfully. “Second Sister? Are you in a hurry to see Second Mother?”

A hint of coldness emerged in Zhou Ling’er’s eyes when she saw this man. This person was the third prince, Zhou Junyi.

The relationship between the two could be described as water and fire. They would crash into a verbal battle whenever they met.

Zhou Ling’er paid no heed to Zhou Junyi and continued to move forward.

Seeing this, Zhou Junyi said further. “Hehe. I heard that there will be the Divine King rank pill for auction tomorrow. I think I will have to take a look at it. Anyway, I haven’t spent my new year money yet.”

Zhou Ling’er halted her track and turned to look at him. She asked coldly. “It seems you know a lot, huh?”

Zhou Junyi chuckled. “What are you on about, Second Sister?”

Zhou Ling’er stared at him coldly and said. “Don’t think you are the only one who can use an underhanded method. If you don’t believe me, you can try.”

As she finished her sentence, she turned around and left directly.

The smile on Zhou Junyi’s slowly disappeared and was replaced with a cold sneer. “Threatening me? Hehe. You’re too na?ve.”

He glanced at a middle-aged man behind him and said. “Find a chance to capture that man surnamed Lin.”

The middle-aged man frowned slightly and said. “He has now become the vice president of the association. It’s not a good idea to touch him.”

“If you didn’t speak, who would know about it?” Zhou Junyi said coldly.

The middle-aged man went silent for a while before saying. “Understood.”

Inside the study, Ximen Shun listened to the report from Mu Qing thoughtfully.

“Are you sure it was him?” Ximen Shun asked with a serious expression.

Mu Qing replied calmly. “I’ve witnessed his strength with my own eyes. Except for him, I can’t think of anyone who can refine a Divine King rank pill here. Moreover, he had spent a lot of time discussing President Zhi in private, and the pill appeared after he left.”

Ximen Shun leaned backward slightly and asked. “Do you think why he wanted to help us?”

The status of his younger sister, Ximen Yuxi, was extremely important to the Ximen Clan. Once she died, the Zhou Royal Clan would undoubtedly do everything to suppress the Ximen Clan. This wasn’t something Ximen Shun wanted to see.

At least, it must wait until his father successfully stepped into the Divine King Realm first.

Mu Qing thought for a moment and said. “Although the time I spent with him is short, I can tell he’s a kind person deep down. Of course, he won’t be foolish enough to risk his life just to help our Ximen Clan. My opinion is that he simply wanted to form a good relationship with us to gain a layer of protection.”

Ximen Shun nodded in agreement. “I have the same idea.”

From the investigations, Yun Lintian seemed to pop up out of nowhere without a trace prior to this. Coupled with the fact that he didn’t seem to know much about this place, it was obvious that he didn’t belong to this Heavenhold Realm.

Naturally, Ximen Shun didn’t think that Yun Lintian came from the lower realm as his talent was obvious to all. He could only belong to the upper realm.

As for why he appeared here, Ximen Shun didn’t dare to investigate further.

Mu Qing hesitated briefly and said. “I think it’s a blessing than a curse.”

Ximen Shun motioned with his chin, letting her speak further.

“He has now become a high-rank member of the association that President Zhi attached so much importance to him. The benefits we could obtain from him is without a doubt exceeding the loss.” Mu Qing said solemnly. “Perhaps we can produce a few Divine Kings later with him around.”

Ximen Shun nodded approvingly. “Our Ximen Clan has always been upright. Since he has helped us a lot, we absolutely couldn’t let him down.”

His expression became serious as he spoke further. “Tell everyone in our clan about my intention.”

“Understood.” Mu Qing responded readily and left.

“Are you still going to sell the Scarlet Blood Tribulation Pill?” Inside the living room, Ning Yue asked.

“No,” Yun Lintian shook his head. After obtaining a hefty sum of Divine Stones from Zhi Wei, he no longer needed to sell the pill. “However, we will still visit the auction house. I have a business to do with them.”

“Oh.” Ning Yue didn’t ask about it further.

Yun Lintian looked at her and asked. “Do you want to find a clue about your parents?”

Ning Yue’s petite body trembled slightly upon hearing this.

Yun Lintian patted her head and said. “With me here, you don’t have to worry about anything. Just tell me your thought directly.”

Ning Yue raised her head to look at him and mustered her courage to reply. “I do!”
