...
Nanming Street.
The Lee Mansion.
"Hello, could you please inform them inside that a friend with the surna Lin is looking for soone?"
Lin Zheyu arrived at the Lee Mansion in passing and took out Lee ngxi’s token to hand over.
Last ti he left the Martial Dao Exchange, he deposited the elixirs with Lee ngxi, asking them to auction them off.
He couldn’t use so many elixirs himself, leaving only 10 Strengthening Elixirs and 200 Spirit Elixirs for future use.
"Yes, please wait a mont."
The servant outside the Lee Mansion said respectfully.
Before long, Lee Wensi’s voice ca from inside.
"Mr. Lin, you’ve arrived. Please co in."
"ng Xi isn’t here today, so ngqi and I will be welcoming you." Lee Wensi said cheerfully.
Upon seeing Lin Zheyu again, she seed quite happy.
Lin Zheyu nodded and entered the Lee Mansion.
He was quite familiar with the two ladies, and although Lee ngqi appeared very cold, with Lee Wensi’s talkative presence, the atmosphere was still pleasant.
"Has that Lee Shuqin been targeting you recently?" Lin Zheyu asked.
Lee ngqi and Lee ngxi had a hard ti in the Lee Mansion due to lacking senior support while occupying family resources, facing exclusion in many areas.
"Yes, that wicked woman."
"But it’s okay; with Uncle Six and the others helping, that wicked woman Lee Shuqin doesn’t dare to act rashly." Lee Wensi nodded, a look of anger appearing on her face.
Due to that woman’s interference, Lee Yanming even betrayed directly, nearly disrupting Lee ngqi’s state of mind.
"If there’s anything I can help with within my capabilities, feel free to let know quietly."
"ng Xi and ngqi are too shy to speak up; you don’t have to worry so much." Lin Zheyu said with a smile.
"No way, ng Xi is not shy at all; that guy has a very thick skin, utterly shaless." Lee Wensi retorted.
While chatting, they arrived at Lee ngqi’s courtyard.
Upon hearing of Lin Zheyu’s arrival, Lee ngqi had already instructed the servants to prepare food and drink, sitting quietly in the courtyard waiting for him.
Her beautiful face, cold deanor, bathed in the moonlight, appeared otherworldly and ethereal, like a fairy ignoring worldly affairs.
"Please sit, Mr. Lin."
Lee ngqi spoke softly, her voice crisp with a hint of ethereal quality.
"It’s been a few days, and Miss ngqi seems even more captivatingly cold." Lin Zheyu complinted with a smile, "Visiting at night, pardon my intrusion."
"You’re too kind, Mr. Lin."
"ng Xi has recently started dealing with family matters; he’s not been around these days, so I hope you won’t mind hosting tonight." Lee ngqi smiled.
Since cultivating the True Intent of Ice, deeply affected by the true intent’s influence, she rarely smiled, and her laughter appeared quite unnatural now.
After chatting casually about recent affairs, Lee ngqi requested the silver notes from a servant.
"Sir, here are the silver taels from the auction."
"The auction total reached 4.3 million silver taels; however, the family will charge a fifteen percent commission, which is the lowest I could negotiate using my family privileges."
"After deducting the commission, there are 3.65 million left."
Lee ngqi handed the silver notes over and explained.
She belonged to the Lee Mansion, but the Lee Mansion did not belong to her.
Though the entire Lee family was vast, Lee ngqi was simply one among many direct descendants with so talent.
"Thank you, Miss ngqi."
Lin Zheyu accepted the silver taels gratefully.
He was already quite satisfied with being able to auction for so much silver.
If other outsiders entrusted the Lee Mansion auction house with auctions, the commission would likely reach an astounding two or three tis.
However, the genuine profits of the Lee Mansion don’t take all; conducting auction business here required nurous dealings before obtaining such qualifications.
Most of the commission collected was spent on these dealings.
Lin Zheyu didn’t linger long at the Lee Mansion.
With the night deepening, after reminiscing with Lee ngqi, he decided to leave.
"ngqi, what do you think of Mr. Lin?"
"Mr. Lin is quite charming and strong. Now that the Infinite Sect has noticed him, making him a True Disciple, even his background concerns have been resolved."
"You’re so beautiful; if you were with him, it would be truly fitting."
Lee Wensi smiled as she watched Lin Zheyu’s departing figure.
"I’m not interested in that."
"Mr. Lin’s status is not what it once was, and even if I’m willing, my talent and perception aren’t worthy of him." Lee ngqi replied lightly.
"Oh!"
"ngqi, you’re not seriously considering not marrying, are you?"
"Even our third aunt from the Lee Mansion, who cultivated the True Intent of Ice, wasn’t as cold as you are!" Lee Wensi exclaid.
She felt Lee ngqi was different from others who practiced the True Intent of Ice, being overly cold, exuding an icy chill from inside out.
"Third Aunt has achieved mastery and escaped the true intent’s influence."
"I, however, focus fully on the True Intent of Ice, with a much stronger influence than others."
"But it’s not too concerning; once I advance to Transforming Force, I can begin trying to shake off the true intent’s influence." Lee ngqi responded quietly.
Her cultivation yields great results, progressing rapidly, yet it also carries considerable risk.
Any mistake could result in losing herself, with ntal and spiritual self being assimilated by the true intent, drastically altering her personality.
Lin Zheyu had previously experienced a significant impact from the true intent during his cultivation of Turtle Breath True Intent and Tyrannical True Intent, not to ntion Lee ngqi.
In the War God Sect, many disciples followed the sa extre path as Lee ngqi.
Engrossed entirely in Mad War True Intent, every one of them was a battle fanatic.
...
Returning to the sect.
The guarding disciple had seen Lin Zheyu earlier today, checked his identity, and then allowed passage.
