Chapter 813: Chapter 22: Heir of Immortal Moon Mountain

The Purple-clothed Young Master is called Song Ziliu, a direct lineage young master of the Song Family, one of the Five Great Families in Heavenly Saint City.

Song Ziliu has been pursuing Murong Xue, but Murong Xue doesn’t really favor him.

However, considering the allied relationship between the Murong Family and the Song Family, Murong Xue can’t give him a cold shoulder.

“I wonder who this friend of Xue’er is?” Song Ziliu asked with a smile, as these noble family’s young masters are usually deep thinkers.

Just like Song Ziliu.

Even if he’s jealous of Lin Feng, he wouldn’t show it; instead, he appears quite friendly.

Lin Feng smiled slightly and said, “I came from another domain.”

Song Ziliu forced a smile and said, “A domain is so vast, yet a friend comes from another domain. Is there something in the East County Divine Land?”

Lin Feng replied calmly, “There is indeed something, but it’s not convenient to elaborate.”

Song Ziliu didn’t press further. He said, “If you’re looking to buy something at the auction house, I can introduce you to a steward.”

“I would appreciate that.” Lin Feng cupped his hands.

“I am Song Ziliu. May I ask how to address my friend?”

“Lin Feng.”

…

Song Ziliu murmured the surname “Lin,” but had never heard of any large family with the surname “Lin,” and he couldn’t help but breathe a slight sigh of relief.

As long as he’s not from a noble family, what right does he have to compete with me for Murong Xue?

Song Ziliu became a bit more enthusiastic and said, “Brother Lin, come with me.”

Then the group headed towards the auction house.

The auction house was bustling with activity.

Lin Feng looked at Murong Xue with a smile and said, “This person is clearly very jealous of me, yet he acts so warmly. It seems he wants to show off his capabilities in front of you.”

Murong Xue glared at Lin Feng, annoyed, and said, “If you already know, why do you still associate with him?”

“To let him back off.” Lin Feng looked at Murong Xue with a smile that wasn’t a smile.

Murong Xue’s pretty face turned slightly red, and she snorted softly. She said, “Actually, Song Ziliu is considered quite good among the noble family’s young masters, and our Murong Family has always been allied with the Song Family. So when we were kids, Song Ziliu and I got along well. But as we grew older, this guy dares to pursue me. Thinking of the guy who used to follow me around as a kid now daring to court me, my primordial main force can’t help but want to explode. I really want to beat this lad to death.”

“Ahem, what are Xue’er and Brother Lin talking about? Could it be something that can’t be said to others?”

Seeing Lin Feng and Murong Xue talking in whispers, Song Ziliu felt a bit jealous.

At this point, Lin Feng looked at Song Ziliu with a faint look of pity.

This guy, Song Ziliu, is destined never to win Murong Xue’s affection.

Feelings are the most complicated of things.

So no matter how much effort Song Ziliu puts in, it is destined to be futile.

“We were talking about Brother Song. I heard Murong Xue say that Brother Song was clever and adorable as a child, and grew into a handsome and talented man.”

Lin Feng said with a smile that wasn’t a smile.

“Really?” As soon as Song Ziliu heard this, his eyes brightened instantly.

His goodwill towards Lin Feng skyrocketed immediately.

He consoled himself in his heart.

It seems this Lin Feng is indeed just an ordinary friend of Xue’er. I was perhaps overthinking things earlier.

This Brother Lin is really a good person.

If not for him, I wouldn’t have known how high my status is in Xue’er’s heart.

Murong Xue couldn’t help but pinch Lin Feng’s waist, making him grimace in pain, while Murong Xue snorted through her nose, seemingly telling Lin Feng that this was the punishment for his reckless words.

Lin Feng took the opportunity when no one was watching to give Murong Xue a quick kiss on the cheek.

Murong Xue’s pretty face immediately blushed crimson, and she gritted her teeth, wanting to give Lin Feng a good beating, but Lin Feng quickened his pace to walk alongside Song Ziliu.

Murong Xue’s plan for revenge failed. When she looked at Lin Feng, she wore a gritting expression, but then she couldn’t help but break into a smile.

A woman’s mind is truly as hard to fathom as a needle at the bottom of the sea.

With Song Ziliu’s introduction, Lin Feng and his group met the steward in the VIP room.

“Steward Li, this is my friend, Lin Feng, who wants to purchase some items,” Song Ziliu said.

The steward, named Li Yuan, was quite courteous, cupping his hands, he said, “I wonder what Young Master Lin wishes to buy?”

“Do you have any Golden Giant bones?” Lin Feng asked.

“Ah? Golden Giant bones?” Steward Li was abruptly shocked.

He naturally knew of the Golden Giant.

This was a major business opportunity.

Recently, an elder from the auction house was transferred, and they were just about to promote a new elder.

The new elder would be selected from among the stewards with the best performance.

So these stewards hoped to secure a big deal to boost their performance.

If they could become an elder of the auction house in the future, their status would rise significantly.

It could be described as a phoenix rising upon a branch.

Steward Li was eager to secure this big deal, but he was powerless. He said with regret, “Young Master, you’ve come at a bad time. To my knowledge, twenty years ago, the auction house still had a piece of Golden Giant bone, but it was bought. Since then, no Golden Giant bone has appeared.”

Lin Feng couldn’t help but slightly shake his head, although he had anticipated such a situation before.

Lin Feng was just about to discuss the auction of the Tao Artifact with Steward Li.

At that time, more than a dozen people came in from outside, led by another steward.

That steward was named Wang Shen and had an arrogant demeanor, looking sideways at Steward Li, he said, “Steward Li, I have matters to discuss with Young Master Ouyang, hurry up and take your people out.”

Steward Li’s face suddenly became somewhat unsightly.

This Wang Shen had no respect for him.

He was here first discussing matters with Lin Feng, and now he was being kicked out.

If word got out, he would lose face.

Steward Li said, “Steward Wang, I’m still discussing business with a guest here. If you need to talk, you can find another VIP room.”

“I, as a steward, prefer to talk in this VIP room. Do I need to repeat myself, Steward Li?” Wang Shen said with a cold smile.

Steward Li’s expression was unsettled.

Seeing Steward Li not taking Lin Feng and the others out, Steward Wang continued with a cold smile, “The assessment period is approaching, and when I am promoted to elder, I hope Steward Li will maintain such a firm attitude.”

Steward Li couldn’t help but sigh slightly. Recently, Wang Shen had secured a few big deals, making him the top-performing steward among many, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, the vacant elder position would naturally fall to him.

Steward Li looked apologetically towards Lin Feng and said, “Young Master Lin, perhaps we should find another place to talk?”

At this point, Steward Wang showed a trace of smugness.

Lin Feng slightly furrowed his brow, which displeased him greatly. Anything has to adhere to the principle of first come, first served, and Steward Wang’s domineering behavior in driving out Steward Li not only showed no respect to Steward Li but also disrespected them, the guests.

Song Ziliu sneered and said, “And what if we don’t leave? What about the rules? This auction house seems to bear the surname Jiang, not Wang, right? A mere steward dares to act so arrogantly? Ridiculous.”

Wang Shen’s face slightly darkened, he was just about to harshly reprimand Song Ziliu when a white-clothed young master beside him motioned with his hand for Steward Wang not to speak.

He voiced, “I am Immortal Moon Mountain’s Ouyang Qian, and I have matters to discuss with Steward Li in this VIP room. Do you have any objections?”

“Immortal Moon Mountain?” Song Ziliu and the others’ expressions abruptly changed.

Immortal Moon Mountain, ranking second among the Righteous Forces in the Northern Seventy-two States.

Seeing the synchronized change in expression among the crowd, Ouyang Qian’s face showed a smug expression.

The status of Immortal Moon Mountain was enough to let him receive envious looks anywhere in the Northern Seventy-two States.

And he, Ouyang Qian, very much enjoyed the shocked or fearful expressions others showed upon learning of his identity.

“We’re currently using this VIP room for discussions. If you wish to discuss matters, find another VIP room.”

At this moment, a calm voice was heard.

“Kid, what did you say?” Ouyang Qian almost thought he misheard, he coldly glared at Lin Feng who had spoken.

Both Song Ziliu, Steward Li, Murong Xue and others’ faces changed drastically.

A heir of Immortal Moon Mountain is simply not someone they can afford to offend.

They couldn’t help but worry for Lin Feng. If the big figure from Immortal Moon Mountain got angry, Lin Feng might face a great calamity.

Even if they wanted to save Lin Feng at that time, they would probably be powerless.
