Ling Wuxia took the scroll that was thrown over. Her eyes lit up almost immediately as she opened it up.
Lu Mingshu took a glance, but she only saw two words written on it –”Sword Tips.”
A Void Realm Grandmaster’s sword tips!
Seeing her looking at Ling Wuxia with envy, Qiu Yu laughed. “Girl, there’s no need to be jealous. The book you got is good too.”
Lu Mingshu blinked and bowed. “As a martial artist, I want to learn as much as I can.” That’s a consolation prize? I would’ve rather not snatched anything and get the consolation prize! I need consolation too!
“Oh yes.” Something came to Qiu Yu suddenly. “You can make a request,” he told Zhou Ruying.
Zhou Ruying stared at him, dumbfounded. She still hadn’t recovered from the pleasant surprise she received today and was at a loss for words.
Qiu Yu smiled at her actions. “It’s going to be written off if you keep quiet!”
“Zhou Ruying, let’s make a deal!” Lu Mingshu seized the chance.
At the same time, Ling Wuxia looked at Zhou Ruying too. “Miss Zhou…”
They exchanged glances and looked at each other in anger.
“I spoke first!” Lu Mingshu yelled into Ling Wuxia’s face and turned to Zhou Ruying. “I’ll compensate you. Give me the chance.”
“Miss Zhou hasn’t agreed to you yet!” Ling Wuxia yelled back. “Give me the chance, I guarantee that I will pay you more.”
“Do you think it’s a freaking auction?” Lu Mingshu snickered.
“It can damn well be one if you want!”
“Let’s do it then!”
“This is a piece of Black Heaven Iron. It can’t be used to forge a sword, but it can improve the quality of a sword.” Ling Wuxia offered a good item as soon as they started.
“Violet Ginseng Fluid.” Lu Mingshu took out a small bottle.
“I will add on an Imperial Jade Blossom Vine!”
“Core of a Seven Son Lotus.”
“Blood Red Snow Lotus!”
“…”
They started to offer more and more.
“Dragon King’s Bloodshed!” Ling Wuxia gritted her teeth and shouted. With Lu Mingshu’s status in Nine Jade Palace, she can’t afford to take out that much!
She turned around to see Lu Mingshu laugh and keep all the things that Ling Wuxia placed out and sneered. “Okay, you win this time around.”
Ling Wuxia stared at her blankly.
Lu Mingshu turned to Zhou Ruying and asked jokingly, “You earned so much in such a short time, don’t forget about me in the future, okay?”
This made Zhou Ruying burst out in laughter. “Sure.”
Ling Wuxia stomped and fumed. “Bitches!”
“I was only fighting for the Bon Voyage Fleet. Why would I be so stupid as to chip in all my assets?” Lu Mingshu replied slowly. “Alright Miss Ling, you can voice your request now.”
Ling Wuxia clenched her fist and said out her request slowly, suppressing the urge to throw the other two into the water.
Qiu Yu watched them bicker with a smile. When Ling Wuxia finished her request and Zhou Ruying agreed, he smiled and nodded. “Sure. Before this old man leaves, I’ll visit Ancient Jade Summit.”
“Thank you so much, Senior.” Ling Wuxia swallowed down the swear words in her throat. She could feel her heart dripping blood.
Nevermind, this exchange is worthy. But I’ll get her one day!
“Senior,” Lu Mingshu asked, “you’re going to leave soon, right?”
“This old man has been here for at least a hundred years. It’s time.” He nodded.
“May I know if you would allow the mountain to be opened to the public after you leave?”
“I don’t really care about anything on the mountain except for my house.”
“Thank you, Senior.” Lu Mingshu smiled thinly. “I was asked to make a request to Senior to borrow the blessed land so someone could breakthrough. Can I take that as a yes to the request?”
Qiu Yu nodded.
Ling Wuxia felt like fainting. She obviously knew about the Bon Voyage Fleet’s situation. Just the thought of Lu Mingshu getting what she wanted without being the chosen one made her feel like vomiting blood!
“Alright. There’s nothing else now, so I’ll send you off.”
Qiu Yu tapped on the stone table twice, and before Lu Mingshu or Ling Wuxia could react, they were now at the entrance of Jasper Sun Mountain.
“…” Lu Mingshu sighed. I didn’t even get to bid Zhou Ruying goodbye? He’s so impatient!
Now, they were at the foot of the mountain.
The loess was all gone and was replaced by various greenery and vegetation.
They were standing in a meadow. The weeds were so full of vitality that they were almost as tall as the two of them.
Before they could do anything, they heard footsteps coming toward them and a girl’s voice. “What is there to even look for here? Even my sect master said that he can’t find them, so what’s the point in searching? Hey! Are you deaf?”
Ling Wuxia smiled in glee. It was Yi Lan’s voice.
As she was about to say something, a guy who sounded extremely cold replied to her; “You can stop looking for them if you don’t want to look. Leave me alone!”
The impulsive Yi Lan obviously flared up. “Ye Mingguang! I’m just being nice by telling you that! Why the heck are you so rude?!”
Ye Mingguang? Why is he here? Lu Mingshu furrowed her eyebrows.
“Did I ask for your opinion?” Ye Mingguang sneered. “Please stop acting so self-righteous!”
“Oh my god!” Yi Lan laughed. “I’m self-righteous? Then what kind of blind fool are you? Why are you even here? I’m here for my senior sister, but you? For Lu Mingshu, who caused you to get kicked out of your family and lose all your cultivation? Please, think about it; why would she care about you? As soon as she went missing, the queen of Zhongzhou sent her foreign minister Xiahou Shan over immediately! No matter how bad the Alioth Star-Lord is, she’s still his wife, so why would she even spare you a damn look?”
Lu Mingshu froze upon hearing this. He’s looking for me? “Kicked out of your family and lost all your cultivation….”?
“So what if it’s one-sided? What does it have to do with you?” Ye Mingguang replied. He sounded so cold that he could create an ice statue. “You aren’t any better anyway. Ling Wuxia’s a fake obsessed with scheming, while you’re a spoiled idiot who only says unkind words! It’s a match made in heaven!”
“You…!” Yi Lan flared up and was about to attack him.
Ye Mingguang was now in the Inner Breath Realm, but Yi Lan was in the Harmonization Realm. How could he take her attack? If she attacked harshly, he would be half-dead.
Suddenly, a sword light shot toward Yi Lan.
“What are you doing!?” Ling Wuxia pulled Yi Lan back in time.
Lu Mingshu suddenly attacked, and Szzz…
“Wah!” Yi Lan felt a sharp pain on her palm. She blinked and saw a very long cut across her palm, nearly slicing it in half.
Ling Wuxia hurried over to her. She took her palm to check and heaved a sigh of relief. It was a big cut, but the injury was actually minor.
“Lu Mingshu!” Ling Wuxia stared at her in anger. “How could you do this to my junior!?”
Lu Mingshu put her sword back and looked at her calmly. “She deserves it. She speaks unkindly and attacks people of lower cultivation. But instead of reprimanding her, you blame others for being unkind to her. I didn’t know Ancient Jade Summit’s teaching was this low-class.”
“You…!” Ling Wuxia gritted her teeth.
“What, not happy? Then let’s fight.” Lu Mingshu sneered. “I don’t mind. I’ve already fought two of the top three Harmonization Realm disciples, and you will be the last.”
