Only then did Ling Chuxi understand why Pavilion master Meng had given up so easily. Facing the mysterious six great royal families, and the daughter of the family head at that, even the descendants of those aristocratic families with deep heritage would lose the courage to pursue them. Pavilion master Meng was no exception.
“Back then, I was so engrossed in cultivation that I didn’t want to stay in the pillheart Pavilion. It was only because of her words that I finally stayed. It’s already been a few decades.” Recalling the past, Pavilion master Meng sighed with emotion.
Ling Chuxi could tell that she had long been deeply in love with that woman. Otherwise, she would not have stayed in the Dan Xin Pavilion because of her persuasion. She only knew that she was not worthy of her, so she had hidden these feelings deep in her heart.
“Pavilion master Meng, so you know where the eastern clan is?” Ling Chuxi asked curiously.
“What, you want to go to the eastern clan?” Pavilion master Meng asked.
“Not really. I used to have a friend who was from the eastern clan.” As she said this, Ling Chuxi looked at Huangfu qingjue. He didn’t have many friends, but Dongfang Yi was one of them. Strictly speaking, he was probably his only friend other than himself.
“If you want to see the people of the eastern clan, it’s not difficult. You will have the opportunity.” Pavilion master Meng’s lips curled into an enigmatic smile.
This person just couldn’t stand being praised. Ling Chuxi had just been secretly praising Pavilion master Meng in her heart for being straightforward this time. Who knew that he would return to his old ways so quickly and start to act mysterious? she couldn’t help but secretly pout.
She knew the bad habit of such people. If they did not want to speak, even if you used a steel pry, you would not be able to pry open their mouths. Ling Chuxi was too lazy to even ask and followed him forward.
Ling Chuxi suddenly stopped in her tracks. On a long table in front of her, there was a withered tree root. Because the tree was too old, traces of insects and ants could be seen everywhere on the grayish-white withered root.
Seeing Ling Chuxi stop in her tracks, Pavilion master Meng and the others also stopped and looked towards the withered branch.
Zhou Shilong walked past them and noticed their gazes. He laughed coldly and mocked them in his heart. If you can see anything, what’s the point of having us appraisers?”
“Master, please hold on. I have a heavenly treasure that I would like you to appraise.” At this moment, a middle-aged man behind the long table said to Zhou Shilong with a sincere expression.
“Oh, are you talking about this root?” Zhou Shilong had seen this kind of scene many times, so he asked with the air of a master.
“Master Zhou is right. I would like to ask your family to help me appraise this treasure.” The middle-aged man quickly said.
“You should know the rules of our appraisers, right?” Zhou Shilong glanced at Pavilion master Meng proudly and asked. He was prepared to put on a show and show off.
“I know, I know. The other appraisers charge five hundred spirit stones each time, and Master Zhou, the price is one thousand five-colored spirit stones each time.” The middle-aged man took out his storage bag and poured out 1000 five-colored spirit stones for Zhou Shilong. He added,”I’ve already asked a few other appraisers to appraise it. They all said that this is just an ordinary tree root. It’s just contaminated with a little spirit energy from a spirit herb, so it looks a little different. However, I didn’t believe it. I risked my life to snatch it from a vicious spirit beast. How can it be an ordinary tree root? Master Zhou, please help me appraise it.”
