At the summit of the Cloud Mountain, peach blossoms were in full bloom and a light breeze blew gently.
After painting for quite a few hours, Lin Junjun stretched lazily.
She stood up and her white robe perfectly encapsulated her body, highlighting her exquisite curves.
At this moment, her voice transmission talisman began to flash again.
“Yes, what’s up?”
She activated the voice transmission talisman and a calm male voice replied. “Master Tian Yu, the trial-takers have returned and on top of that, they all received the inheritance of the ruins!”
Lin Junjun was shocked into silence for a moment before an expression of pleasant surprise surfaced on her face.
She knew what it entailed if all the members of the party received an inheritance.
“Quick, bring them all here!” Lin Junjun urged happily.
“Master Tian Yu, I’m outside the array formation right now.” Jiang Anlan replied.
Lin Junjun opened the array formation without hesitation upon hearing this.
She hesitated for a moment, this setting didn’t seem grand enough for such important guests.
Hence, she waved her hand and the baggy sleeve of her robe flapped through the air.
Instantly, peach blossom petals danced through the air.
It was like an extremely beautiful cloud of red, drifting over the mountain summit.
This was a scene she enjoyed seeing very much and she felt that it was extremely fitting for welcoming the incoming guests.
Yes, she wanted to leave a good first impression on this group of heroes.
Lin Junjun then stood up with a smile on her face in preparation for the arrival of her guests.
The huge dragon roared through the clouds and flew onto the mountain summit.
She saw the guests she had prepared such a grand scene for.
She also saw that extremely familiar face, the face that could trigger her nightmares…
Lin Junjun was stupefied.
She stood there blankly, completely forgetting her duty as a host. Her heart felt as if it had been stomped on by a stampede of ten thousand Divine Beasts.
The huge dragon reverted to its human form and An Lin and the others began to disembark.
Jiang Anlan was a little taken aback upon seeing Lin Junjun’s dazed state but did not think much of it, instead accompanying An Lin to make their way over to her. “Master Tian Yu, Mr. An suddenly began to feel ill after returning from the ruins, I hope I can ask your highness to examine him for any ailments.”
Lin Junjun came to her senses and her bright rippling eyes focused on An Lin, who was trying to smile amiably at her. She seemed to grasp something from his expression and gave him a meaningful glance. “Oh? Mr. An is not feeling well? Of course, I would be happy to examine you.”
She extended a slim white hand toward An Lin as she said this.
An Lin immediately sh*t himself and exclaimed with fear. “No need, no need! I suddenly feel much better now, my back no longer throbs and my legs don’t hurt anymore!”
He performed a set of military katas to provide proof of his claims.
Jiang Anlan’s eyes widened in surprise. “Mr. An, are you sure you’re ok now?”
“Absolutely, I’m as fit as a horse, never been better!”
An Lin put even more effort into his military katas, appearing even more majestic and imposing.
“I feel like there’s something going on between her and team leader.” Zong Yongyan remarked lightly whilst waving his fan.
Miao Tian and the others all nodded solemnly in agreement.
They weren’t idiots. From An Lin’s anxious expression and Celestial Maiden Tian Yu’s barely concealed malicious intent, they could glean that their team leader had most likely stirred up some trouble during his bungee jumping escapade.
A thought suddenly occurred to Miao Tian and she held on tightly to Xiao Chou’s arm. “Big Brother Chou, when we get ejected out of here, make sure to take me with you during your flight, otherwise I’ll die from falling!”
That’s right, with An Lin’s tendency to stir up trouble, there was a great likelihood that they could be ejected soon.
It was ok when Bai Ling ejected them from the ruins, all they did was face plant into some grass.
But if they were ejected by Celestial Maiden Tian Yu…
They’d face a fall of one hundred thousand feet!
Xiao Chou: “…”
Lin Junjun seemed to enjoy An Lin’s terror and once again took the initiative.
“Mr. An, tell me… do you think this is fate?”
Lin Junjun folded her hands behind her back and a cheeky expression appeared on her gentle face.
An Lin forced a smile onto his face. “Yeah, what a coincidence to see you again. Seeing as we appear to be bound by fate, it would be great for us all to sit together and have some tea.”
Lin Junjun looked at An Lin with a hint of a smile on her face but did not say anything.
A shiver ran down An Lin’s spine, he didn’t dare to even move.
F*ck! It would be fine if this was the Lin Junjun from before, if he couldn’t beat her in a fight, he could at least win in a war of words.
But her identity now was Celestial Maiden Tian Yu, the most beloved daughter of the Celestial Thearch.
To have a war of words with her? He’d have to prepare for a terrible death!
He could only be an obliging little bunny now…
Yes, a bunny!
“Master Tian Yu, you and Mr. An have met before? Haha, that makes things much easier then.” Jiang Anlan laughed heartily with a happy expression.
“Yes, we’ve met before, he and I have even discussed art together.” Lin Junjun nodded.
An Lin grimaced and could not even force out a single word.
Discussed art? One person was insulting the other’s artwork like mad, whilst the latter abused the former like mad!
“That’s great, seeing as we all know each other here, let’s sit down and discuss some things.” Jiang Anlan waved his hand and an intricate table appeared along with almost ten chairs.
Lin Junjun smiled slightly and nodded in agreement. “That’s true, let’s all take a seat.”
An Lin was rooted to the spot.
What was going on? When did she become pleasant? Wasn’t she going to attack him?
I am an elegant and graceful maiden, how can I attack you in front of everyone? That would ruin my reputation! Lin Junjun thought to herself upon seeing An Lin’s dumbfounded expression.
Besides, to cultivate in the Dao of Art required one to remain calm and not be quick to anger. Even if someone she had a vendetta against was to appear before her, she still had to remain calm and ensure she acted like a proper gentlewoman.
Even if she was to attack him… she had to wait until there was no one around!
Everyone took a seat around the table and a smile appeared on Lin Junjun’s face. “I trust you all know who I am, please tell me the information you have received from the ruins and I will assign rewards based on the value of the information provided.”
“Alright, I’ll go first!” Miao Tian volunteered.
She carved out a complex and mysterious formation onto the table with her slender finger.
“This is what was engraved into my mind when I received the inheritance,” she said whilst pointing at the formation.
A satisfied expression appeared on Lin Junjun’s face as she looked at the formation. A paintbrush appeared in her hand and she began to replicate the formation on a piece of paper.
A slight smile appeared on her face. “This is an array formation to do with bloodline fusion. Jiang Anlan will accompany you to receive your reward of one elementary rank Spirit Tool from the treasure vault.”
Miao Tian’s eyes lit up at the news. Who would have thought that the inexplicable array formation in her head would be worth an elementary rank Spirit Tool, this was the equivalent of a few tens of thousands of spirit stones materializing out of thin air.
“I’m next.” Luo Ziping’s eyes also lit up upon seeing the reward which was offered and he scribbled down a string of strange symbols onto the table.
Lin Junjun copied the symbols onto a piece of paper and spoke softly. “This is a curse to congeal one’s consciousness, you may receive a second-grade Spirit Pill from the treasure vault.”
A second-grade Spirit Pill was a little lacking in value compared to an elementary rank Spirit Tool, but it was still a fantastic reward which Luo Ziping was very happy with.
Following this, Zong Yongyan received a second-grade Spirit Pill, Sun Shenglian received a third-grade Spirit Pill and an elementary rank Spirit Tool, Xiao Chou received an elementary rank Spirit Tool and Xiao Hong received a second-grade Spirit Pill as well as an elementary rank Spirit Tool.
Everyone was very happy with the rewards that they’d received.
All this information which they felt was useless earned them all these treasures, how could they not be happy?
“Now it’s your turn, Mr. An. You’re the team leader, so you must have some very valuable information, right?” Lin Junjun raised her wispy brows slightly and the corners of her lips curled up in a smile.
An Lin scratched his head and smiled apologetically. “I do, but I’m afraid that I’ll leave you guys bankrupt if I reveal all the information I have.”
Lin Junjun’s eyelids jumped a little. “What do you mean by that?”
