Chapter 293 We Should Do This More Often (1/2)
After speaking with a dozen accountants, Tang Lee closed her phone and said to Yu Yong, ”We're ready to bid whenever the auction begins.”
”Good. This is going to be a fierce fight. The other families won't let us obtain the zither easily since whichever family gets it will have a massive advantage over the other families.” Yu Yong nodded.
Meanwhile, similar situations played out in the other musical families.
”We must get our hands on this Frozen Jade Zither! We cannot let the Yu Family get it or our current advantage will instantly disappear!”
”The Yu Family may be rich, but their resources are not unlimited, especially not after what happened to their golden goose!”
Wealthy families around the world prepared their bank for the upcoming auction whilst the common folks waited for the spectacle.
Meanwhile, inside Cultivation Online and the Dragon Essence Temple, Elder Shan knocked on Fei Yuyan's doors.
”Master? Do you need something?” Fei Yuyan greeted her at the door, but she found it unusual that Elder Shan would visit her unannounced.
”Here, Disciple Yuan asked me to give this to you.” Elder Shan extended her hand with a scroll in her grasp.
”What's this?” Fel Yuyan raised her eyebrows as she accepted the scroll.
”It's the Divine-rank technique the two of you had obtained at the zither competition. Apparently, he's done with it.” Elder Shan explained.
”Wait… He's done with it already? How long has it been since the competition? A week?” Feng Yuxiang mumbled in a dazed voice.
”He handed it to me a couple of days ago so it actually took him much shorter than that.”
”Unbelievable… I cannot imagine learning a Divine-rank technique in such a short time. His comprehension abilities are simply god-like.” Fei Yuyan sighed in a defeated voice, realizing that she will never be at Yuan's level.
”By the way, the last spot for the Mystic Realm… It's Disciple Yuan, isn't it?” Fei Yuyan suddenly asked.
”Is it that obvious?” Elder Shan smiled.
”Of course,” she nodded.
”Don't tell anybody about this, though. The Core Disciples won't be happy if they learn that an Inner Court disciple had taken their spot— a new disciple who recently joined, at that.” Elder Shan said.
”Don't worry, Master. I won't tell anybody.” Fei Yuyan promised.
”Anyways, good luck with the technique. I've got a few more things to do before the Mystic Realm.”
”Thank you, Master.”
”Don't thank me— thank Disciple Yuan the next time you see him. Maybe even a kiss.” Elder Shan chuckled.
”M-Master! Don't make such jokes! It's not funny! We… The two of us live in different worlds. I don't qualify to be with someone like him.” Fei Yuyan sighed in a dejected manner.
”...”
Elder Shan didn't expect Fei Yuyan to respond so seriously, leaving her speechless.
After a moment of awkward silence, Elder Shan said, ”If you really like him, I don't think it's impossible. You never know— he might even make you his Dao Companion.”
”Dao Companion…?” Fei Yuyan stared at Elder Shan with wide eyes filled with surprise.
