Divine Emperor Demon Emperor

Chapter 510: Chapter 510: Developed Feelings?

Gazing at the list of over a hundred types of Spirit Grass that Lin Yun had written down, Chairman Qian didn’t agree immediately. The price of these Spirit Grasses was simply too high. Although Chairman Qian had skimmed off a considerable amount of profit from his position as the person in charge of Wind City, purchasing all the Spirit Grasses on Lin Yun’s list would probably drain his wealth dry.

Seeing the look on Chairman Qian’s face, Lin Yun knew the Spirit Grasses he had listed were just right. ’It doesn’t exceed his limit, but it will still satisfy my needs.’

Lin Yun knew many other prescriptions for enhancing one’s cultivation, but he hadn’t listed most of them. It would have been pointless to write them down. Putting aside whether they could even be found on the Celestial Spirit Continent, even if they existed, Chairman Qian probably couldn’t find them, let alone afford them.

The Spirit Grasses Lin Yun had listed were all for the lowest-level prescriptions from the Divine Realm. Yet even these were enough to make Chairman Qian hesitate, simply because these Spirit Grasses were so incredibly expensive.

Seeing Chairman Qian’s troubled expression, Lin Yun didn’t rush him. After a long moment, Chairman Qian finally suppressed the shock in his heart, set the list aside, and looked at Lin Yun to ask.

”Nephew, are all of these Spirit Grasses required?”

”Yes. And you must follow the quantities I’ve written. Not a single bit can be missing, or I won’t be able to cure Young Master Qian’s injuries,” Lin Yun replied with a nod.

Not a single bit could be missing. Chairman Qian made a rough estimate. Buying all the Spirit Grasses Lin Yun had written down would, if not bankrupt him, at least leave him with less than a tenth of the wealth he had accumulated over so many years.

”Chairman Qian, I’ve already given you the prescription. Why don’t you take some time to consider it? Or perhaps you could think of some other solution,” Lin Yun said, making a motion as if to get up and leave as he spoke.

Seeing this, Chairman Qian quickly spoke up with a laugh, ”Nephew, what are you saying? Your willingness to treat my son is a great kindness to me. You don’t need to worry. I will gather these Spirit Grasses as quickly as possible. It’s just that...”

Some of the Spirit Grasses Lin Yun listed were simply not available in the Eastern Domain; only the Celestial Spirit Auction House Headquarters had them in their collection. Getting them from the Central Domain to the Eastern Heart Domain would take at least half a year, even at the fastest speed. What Chairman Qian meant to ask was whether Lin Yun would still be confident in curing his son’s injuries after such a long time had passed.

Understanding Chairman Qian’s concern, Lin Yun replied with a smile, ”Don’t worry, Chairman Qian. As long as you gather these Spirit Grasses within a year, I am absolutely confident that I can not only cure Young Master Qian’s injuries but also make him stronger than before. I guarantee you’ll have plenty of grandchildren.”

”Good, good, good! Then I will have to trouble you, Nephew. On behalf of my good-for-nothing son, I thank you.” Chairman Qian bowed to Lin Yun, expressing his sincere gratitude.

Compared to money, Chairman Qian would of course choose his son. Money lost could be earned back, but he only had one son. Since Lin Yun had a way to cure his son’s injuries, Chairman Qian was naturally not reluctant to part with the wealth.

Lin Yun hurried forward to help Chairman Qian up. ”Chairman Qian, you honor me too greatly.”

Now that he knew his son could be saved, Chairman Qian’s attitude toward Lin Yun improved significantly. Lin Yun took this opportunity to bring up his need for the Celestial Spirit Auction House’s support. ℯℯ𝑙.

”Chairman Qian, to be honest with you, I have always been aware of the Celestial Spirit Auction House’s strength. Right now, Wind City may seem peaceful on the surface, but dark undercurrents are swirling beneath,” Lin Yun said.

Hearing Lin Yun’s words, Chairman Qian knew what he was getting at and spoke directly.

”You’re referring to that mysterious organization, aren’t you, Nephew?”

”You know about this, Chairman Qian?” Lin Yun asked, feigning a look of surprise.

”I know a little. The Celestial Spirit Auction House has branches all over the Celestial Spirit Continent, so our information network is hardly closed off. As for the mysterious organization, they don’t just have a base in Wind City; they’re in the other four major cities as well. However, even the Celestial Spirit Auction House doesn’t know the full details about this organization.”

”Moreover, the Headquarters has a rule that the heads of our various Celestial Spirit Auction House branches are never allowed to get involved in local conflicts. So, Nephew...”

Chairman Qian’s meaning was obvious. The Celestial Spirit Auction House Headquarters had a rule forbidding its branches from ever participating in the struggles between any factions. The Celestial Spirit Auction House existed for the sole purpose of making money and never interfered in other matters.

Hearing Chairman Qian’s words, Lin Yun understood. He gave a slight nod, then walked over to Chairman Qian’s ear and whispered a few words. After listening to Lin Yun, the look in Chairman Qian’s eyes changed slightly.

”Nephew, it is Luo Feng’s great fortune to have a disciple like you. Very well. Since you’ve put it that way, Nephew, I know what to do,” Chairman Qian said after a moment of shock.

With the matter settled and thanks to Lin Yun’s guarantee, Mo Qingliu was naturally released. When she arrived in the main hall, it was clear she hadn’t been harmed in any way. Her clothes were even clean from top to bottom.

”Brother Lin Yun...” As soon as she entered the main hall, Mo Qingliu ran to Lin Yun’s side, looping her arm through his with a wide smile, showing no sign that she felt she had done anything wrong.

Because the matter with his son had been resolved and he had reached an agreement with Lin Yun, Chairman Qian’s expression softened considerably when he looked at Mo Qingliu.

”Chairman Qian, in that case, I will take my leave. If there is anything you need me to do, please feel free to send someone to find me,” Lin Yun said, bidding farewell to Chairman Qian.

Chairman Qian personally escorted Lin Yun to the entrance of the Celestial Spirit Auction House and only turned to leave after Lin Yun had boarded his carriage.

Having never seen Chairman Qian be so polite to anyone, one of his personal Guards asked, ”Chairman, even though that Lin Yun is the head disciple of the Flawless Palace, is there a need to be so courteous?”

Hearing the man’s question, Chairman Qian said flatly, ”That boy is extraordinary. He and I are in the same boat now.”

The Guard didn’t understand what Chairman Qian meant, but the Chairman had no intention of explaining. By the time his words faded, he was already walking away, leaving the Guard to stare in confusion at his retreating back.

Having successfully rescued Mo Qingliu, Lin Yun didn’t say a word about the other matters he had discussed with Chairman Qian. He took Mo Qingliu back to the Bai Family. Seeing her younger sister was safe, Mo Qingshui could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

After resolving the issue with Mo Qingliu, Lin Yun was about to leave Mo Qingshui’s courtyard when Mo Qingliu suddenly ran to his side, stood on her tiptoes, and gave him a light, fleeting kiss on the cheek.

”Brother Lin Yun, I knew you would come for me!” Having taken the initiative to kiss him, Mo Qingliu’s cheeks were flushed red, but she still smiled as she spoke to Lin Yun.

Lin Yun glanced at Mo Qingliu in surprise, not knowing what to say. He could only quickly walk away from Mo Qingshui’s courtyard.

After Lin Yun left, Mo Qingshui looked at her younger sister. Seeing her still gazing in the direction Lin Yun had gone, Mo Qingshui asked, ”You’ve fallen for him, haven’t you?”

Hearing her sister’s question, Mo Qingliu didn’t deny it. She nodded shyly before looking down and running back to her room.
