"Quick search! Guests have been waiting!"
"Vice chairman, Mr. Yan Jinkong went berserk and damaged the property. He asked to meet with Chairman Jun right now,"
"Vice chief, the heirloom sword and the wind-splitting spear disappeared!"
"Deputy chief, Pixiu's heart is gone!"
The vice-chairman of the Glass Slope massaged his temple when he heard the trouble coming. Right in front of him, the Glass Slope Chief, Jun Mo, sat down while drinking tea with a grim expression.
"Chairman Jun, why is there such a problem when the guest from the Magic Wagon comes?!" said the Vice-chairman subconsciously raising his voice.
The vice-chairman did not ask the reason why there was a problem but instead charged that the guest of the Magic Wagon was the ringleader of all that is happening right now.
The three people who picked up Ling Zizhou and Meng Zhi were the first to suspect that the two caused the trouble that occurred at the auction tonight.
Jun Mo just kept quiet. He waited for the three people to inspect the room that Ling Zizhou and Meng Zhi were occupying.
"Chairman Jun, Vice-chairman, those two people are not in his room!" said the middle-aged man.
"!"
"Chairman Jun, our guess is correct, the Magic Wagon is looking for trouble with the Glass Slope!" the vice-chairman said followed by a nod to the middle-aged man.
"Don't be so, who knows they got lost while going around the auction house," Jun Mo continued
"Find the lost things again. Who knew those items were stolen by a third party who infiltrated in,"
Jun Mo was blatantly unwilling to blame the Magic Wagon. Jun Mo had decided to exert every means to bring the Magic Wagon to his side.
One was not to offend the Magic Wagon party even though they had made Jun Mo lose.
Jun Mo had no idea that anyone had offended the Magic Wagon, such as the middle-aged man.
"Then, what should we auction tonight?" the vice-chairman said with annoyance.
"Take out all the treasures that the Glass Slope has stored for the past year and choose the ones that are the same value as the lost items" Jun Mo said.
It's not good to keep customers waiting. They had already delayed the auction event for thirty minutes, perhaps they would have to take out more valuable items and sell at slightly cheaper prices to compensate the customers.
The vice-chairman and some of the higher-ups of the Glass Slope felt their hearts pierced by a sharp and bloody object.
Precious treasures that are difficult to collect, must simply disappear. These treasures are often distributed as incentives. A tribute to the people who work hard.
The facial expressions of the people around the chairman became sour. They would not have expected, an auction house as big as them, to be subdued with a small name like a Magic Wagon. And they can't do anything!
Somewhere, far away from Jun Mo and his men, Meng Zhi was observing the circumstances around him. In his right hand was an object that the Glass Slope was looking for.
Large glass bottle, inside the lump of meat submerged in liquid completely. Pixiu heart. Meng Zhi divided her attention to the surroundings and the thing in her hand.
Suddenly, Meng Zhi sensed the existence of someone not far near her. Meng Zhi unsheathed her jian towards the person.
"Ah Yi?" said Meng Zhi surprised upon seeing Master Yi standing in front of him.
"Ah Zhi," said Master Yi.
"You don't know what happened to Lian'er and the others?" said Meng Zhi. Isn't Master Yi supposed to be guarding the wagon?
"What's going on?" the master asked back. Meng Zhi just shook her head.
"We look for Ah Zhou first," Meng Zhi said.
"The stinky boy was there," Master Yi said immediately walking towards the direction he pointed to. Meng Zhi followed.
The two went down the stairs and arrived at a room after walking for about fifteen minutes.
Master Yi opened the door with no handles made of mirrors violently, making the person in the room throw a weapon at Master Yi.
"Scented boy, still don't know this is your teacher," said Master Yi grasping the weapon with an unusual aura. It was the heirloom sword that the Glass Slope party was looking for.
"Master!" said Ling Zizhou hurriedly saluting.
"Oh, a pretty good harvest," said Meng Zhi observing the jian in Master Yi's grasp then the huge spear that lay near Ling Zizhou's feet.
"Zhi gege!" ling Zizhou said throwing a questionable look. Why is the teacher here?
Meng Zhi waved her hand, telling Master Yi and Ling Zizhou to sit on the chairs that were in the room.
Meng Zhi told Master Yi everything that happened in the ocean. Rumors circulated afterwards and Meng Zhi's efforts turned the public's attention to her and Ling Zizhou.
"So tell me why you're even here" said Meng Zhi curiously.
"I smell blood and hatred in the air" Master Yi said.
Master Yi was very sensitive to feelings of resentment, blood and other negative feelings because he practiced the Asura school.
"What did you find?" said Meng Zhi. If Meng Zhi stopped asking questions, Master Yi would just stop the story.
"I followed the wind of the stately home being destroyed overnight due to disputes between clans. He said these two clans wanted to cut off each other's necks and ignore the council" Master Yi said.
"Then?"
"I went to that house" said Master Yi.
"Yes, then? What did you find in that house?" said Meng Zhi.
"Blood, a great many. furniture is all broken, but I did not find anything important, except." said Master Yi issued an identification mark made of jade.
The color is black as diamond.There are carvings resembling the scales of fish on the surface of the jade.
"It...Xuanwu?" said Meng Zhi.
"After going here and there I met Master Zhengheng's colleague and after this story he asked me for help" said Master Yi to shorten the story.
Meng Zhi rubbed her face using both hands, frustrated by Master Yi's explanation. Fortunately, Master Yi still conveyed his important points.
"OK, so the mansion turned out to be the temporary headquarters of Master Zhengheng's comrades, then their headquarters was attacked by a cult of heretics, didn't it?" said Meng Zhi then continued after seeing Master Yi nodding,
"Seeing from the blood trail at the headquarters were Master Zhengheng's comrades injured and after convincing them that you knew Master Zhengheng, they asked you for help, for?"
"Save their comrades, here, at the auction house," Master Yi said. Meng Zhi and Ling Zizhou opened their mouths without making a sound.
They were confused because Master Yi missed the explanation of how Master Yi knew that Master Zhengheng's fellow who was either kidnapped or not was on the Glass Slope.
Master Yi took out five pairs of fresh eyeballs from his dimensional pouch. The object rolls when placed on the table.
"You used that style? The Eye of Two Time?" said Meng Zhi. Master Yi nodded then looked at Ling Zizhou with a look 'When will you master this style?'.
The Two Eyes of Time. Eyes that can see the past and the future. Not so, it only looks at the memory stored in the organs or the human body, which Master Yi chose was the eyeball.
The eye was chosen because the eye is the organ that witnesses events that take place at that time and stored memory is the most recent memory.
The brain is the processor, the information processor. And this organ also stores a lot of information, even memory since childhood, is very inefficient.
"One of Master Zhengheng's comrades saw me while he was snatching up a heretic sect person who was hunting them," Master Yi said.
Meng Zhi finally understood how Master Yi easily convinced fellow Master Zhengheng that Master Yi was a comrade.
"Have you met Master Zhengheng's colleague?" said Meng Zhi observing Master Yi's expression.
"Yet. This place is huge, let's use Ah Cun," Master Yi said.
Meng Zhi tightened her lips, so, now Master Yi invited her to use Mu Haocun as a radar.
Ling Zizhou, Meng Zhi and Master Yi also exited the auction house from the street discovered by Master Yi. The road connects them to a secret cave.
They had to walk an hour to come to the surface. It turned out that the structure of the auction house was getting down into the ground, so while climbing the stairs they actually went down.
There was a reality-reversing array that made it so. Glass Slope became very secret and difficult to find.
Thus Master Yi proposed to bring Mu Haocun. The three did not return to the inn but to the designated location if they wanted to return to the cart.
It was early in the morning, the weather was still cool and there was only a quiet stretch of savanna. Ling Zizhou, Meng Zhi and Master Yi stopped under a sizable acacia tree.
Ling Zizhou stumbled onto something, with a pretty loud duking sound. Once held it turns out that what makes him stumble is part of the cart.
Using Ling Zizhou as a reference, Meng Zhi managed to grab the edge of the wagon and uncover the tarp covering the face of the wagon. The three of them immediately disappeared and the silent atmosphere returned.
...
When Meimei entered the control room, Mu Lian could not be found anywhere. Only control was floating silently above the sky mirror.
There were three figures that attracted his attention reflected from the sky mirror, Ling Zizhou, Meng Zhi and Master Yi.
Meimei stared at Master Yi's figure for quite a while. He was unaware that Master Yi had disappeared before Mu Haocun told him to report Master Yi's arrival because Master Yi liked to disappear and appear suddenly.
Confirming Master Yi's arrival with his own eyes, Meimei immediately headed for Mu Haocun's residence, Dan Shen, the building next to Mu Lian's residence.
Meimei was convinced that at this time, Mu Haocun was still taking care of the patient he had just brought along. The young man in critical condition.
Meimei had not expected to meet the Prince of the Xuanwu clan in the underworld. What made him so injured that he was unconscious?
Meimei passes through the front gate and is treated to a garden with a road made of paving blocks.
Tables and chairs made of stone under the roof of the vines are on the right and left of Meimei.
After going through the giant moon gate, Meimei entered the largest building. From there Meimei continued walking to a room. Mu Haocun was standing watching the young man lying down with his eyes open.
Both of them stared in silence. Then Mu Haocun turned to Meimei and said, "There's new news, Mei'er?"
"Master Yi came, along with Ah Zhi and Ah Zhou," Meimei said. Meimei felt the young man's gaze on her.
"Ah, they're back. I'll stay a while, Young Master. Please be patient until I return," Mu Haocun said then followed Meimei out of the room.
Mu Haocun held a meeting at the North Meeting House. Meimei and Ling Zizhou prepared tea and snacks that could help with cultivation.
Meng Zhi recounted her interactions with the Glass Slope over the past three days, including explaining Master Yi's findings regarding Master Zhengheng's comrades.
After a lengthy explanation was completed, Meng Zhi, Ling Zizhou and Master Yi took out their loot that day.
Mu Haocun paid no heed to the three items in front of him, his eyes immediately fixed on the pile of herbs in front of him. Master Yi carried accurately what plants his stock had already run out.
Some fire lotuses were even among the pile of herbs that Master Yi had brought. The fire lotus was used to make heavenly pills.
"Haha, what a great harvest! There are materials to make spell paper and spell ink as well, it just so happens that my spell paper stock runs out," Mu Haocun said with a joyful expression.
"Is there anything so urgent that you want to make your own spell paper?" ask Meng Zhi.
Spell paper can be purchased at auction houses...Meng Zhi shook her head, of course they could not freely go in and out of the auction house as it was being targeted.
Unless Mu Haocun sent one of them who had not shown a face to the people.
However, it seemed like Mu Haocun had decided to make his own. Mu Haocun looked at Meng Zhi then said,
"One thing that's urgent is that Prince Xuanwu's life is under threat,"
"Pfft," Meng Zhi deliberately turned her head towards Ling Zizhou to keep Meimei from spouting.
"..." - ".(Ling Zizhou)
"Why is he here? Wait, does Prince Xuanwu have anything to do with Master Zhengheng's arrival to the underworld?" said Meng Zhi with a muffled voice. Meimei was wiping his mouth.
"Yes. I need a spell strong enough to save Young Master's life. So it's better to make it yourself, well, I need Lian'er's help to carve the spell on the spell paper," Mu Haocun said.
Mini Theater
Mu Haocun: Mei'er, please tell me that Ah Yi is back.
Meimei: Uh?
Mu Lian: Loh? I-I mean where's Grandpa Yi?"
Mu Lian and Meimei only realized that Master Yi was missing!
