Chapter 89: Could It Be the New Child of Destiny?
“Here’s Yu Ling Long, and over there is the auction house. If you want to buy other stuff, feel free to go to the neighboring room.”
Yu Yao stood at the door of Yu Ling Long, casually explaining to Bai Feng and Bai Yu Mo.
“Let’s go in and take a look,” she said, stepping straight into the auction house.
No sooner had they entered than they spotted an old man rushing over like he’d just run a marathon.
“Miss, why didn’t you tell this old man you were coming?!” The old guy looked old, yes, but he sprinted like a linebacker. He stopped in front of Yu Yao, puffing like he’d just run a hundred miles, then ordered a maid nearby, “Hurry up and prepare some tea snacks! Miss Yu Yao, please follow me this way.”
“I came here with a Heavenly Sword Sect elder, so I didn’t bother to tell my family,” Yu Yao said breezily, showing no airs of being a Young Lady or anything. She was pretty relaxed, trailing behind the old man and asking about the auction house.
Soon, everyone arrived at a private room. The chair looked fancy — made of rich wood and cushioned with soft pads. The table was piled with pastries and even the spiritual energy inside felt thicker here.
“Sit wherever you like,” Yu Yao said, grabbing a chair and plopping down. She reached out, snagged a pastry from the table, and bit into it. “This is Moon-Peak Pastry, very delicious.”
Bai Feng also didn’t hold back. He plopped into a seat and took a bite too.
At the same time, he opened his system interface and glanced around. His mini-map now had a marker indicating a Child of Destiny — but not inside the auction house.
‘When did that appear?’ he wondered.
He remembered waking up this morning — and at that time, the marker wasn’t there. So, the Child of Destiny showed up just today.
Just then, the old man standing beside Yu Yao began reporting, and his words caught Bai Feng’s attention.
“Miss, this morning someone tried to consign a set of spirit tools here. It’s a…” He paused, shooting a glance at the two people who came with Yu Yao.
“Straightforwardly speaking, they’re my junior brothers and sisters — and my business partners,” Yu Yao waved dismissively, emphasizing “business partners” with a serious tone. “You might’ve heard of them — Bai Feng and Bai Yu Mo from the White Family.”
“The ones who made Spirit Sealing Sect disciples suffer because of their array talents — Bai Young Master?” The old man froze slightly, his eyes now full of respect.
This array genius’s future achievements would be limitless — there’s no offending that kind of talent.
He quickly bowed slightly to Bai Feng, apologizing, “Sorry, Young Master Bai, I mistook you for someone else — this old man’s eyes are weak. Please accept my apologies.”
Bai Feng hurriedly raised his hand, stopping the old man from bowing further. “No, no, I don’t like that. Just treat me like a normal guest,” he said casually.
In the rules of survival, when dealing with polite strangers, don’t act like the villain. Otherwise, the Child of Destiny coming to slaughter you might get annoyed.
“White Young Master is so grand,” the old man said, feeling a bit overwhelmed. Then, he continued reporting to Yu Yao: “Miss, this morning a person left a set of combined spirit tools with us; assemblable, and can reach the level of a top five-grade spirit tool. This should make our auction a success.”
‘Huh? Could it be a Child of Destiny?’ Bai Feng’s alertness shot up. Luckily, he came with Yu Yao — otherwise, he’d miss this intel.
Classic plot — wonder if Senior Sister Yu Yao will see him.
For his safety, he sighed internally: Sorry, I’ll need you to hang out with me for the next few days. Let the old guys around you gather talent, and I’ll handle the rest!
Afterwards, he’d give her a few array disks as a thank-you.
“Oh? That’s interesting,” Yu Yao nodded. If she didn’t have Bai Feng’s portable array disks, she’d be pretty excited. She might even sneak a peek at him — this guy had saved her life, and he could casually produce a top five-grade spirit tool. Someone like that needed to be managed well.
But now that she had her little brother Bai Feng, and the chance to woo other talents, she decided to spend time bothering Bai Feng more, making him produce more portable arrays.
Yes, she’d spend the next few days hanging out with this little apprentice, letting him have fun — maybe next auction’s portable array disk would be her reward.
Of course, the person providing the spirit tools—she’d still need to make allies — but she’d let others handle that.
So, she nodded: “Waive about 80% of his commission fee. You know what to do next,” she ordered casually.
“Yes, Miss,” the old man inwardly marveled. Faced with such rare spirit tools and talents, he remained so calm. Truly worthy of being the White Family Young Lady.
“And here, these two array disks are for you. Be careful — don’t break them. They’re the highlight of our auction,” Yu Yao handed over two sturdy wooden boxes. Inside were Bai Feng’s portable array disks (cut-down versions). She carefully set them on the table, reminding the old man to handle with care.
“Understood.”
The old man’s curiosity was piqued — what precious items did the Young Lady treat so cautiously? Could it be seven-grade inheritance array disks?
Yu Yao didn’t rush to explain. Instead, she poured herself some tea slowly, then calmly added, “Inside is a portable array disk that activates with spiritual power. These two are the Xuan Gui Array and the Gathering Spirit Array, both five-grade, although their range is only half that of regular arrays.”
The old man looked thoughtful, then asked hesitantly, “Mistress, I don’t really get it.”
“Simply put, injecting spiritual energy into the array disk can immediately form the array — either your own spiritual energy or using spirit stones like normal arrays,” Yu Yao explained patiently, enjoying the expression of disbelief on his face. She was happy to see him surprised.
Not only her own heart was thrilled.
“Is this, for real? Miss?” The old man, experienced and sharp, immediately understood the value of these portable array disks. He could already imagine the auction scene exploding.
He even wanted to postpone the auction — only two days? That’s not enough time to hype the product!
No wonder Yu Yao didn’t look excited when she saw the combined spirit tools. If it was him, with this kind of item, he’d probably stay calm too… well, maybe a tiny bit excited.
Yu Yao took a sip of tea and continued slowly, “Plus, when you don’t need the array, you can turn it off and take the disk with you. It’s reusable.”
“My heavens!”
The old man’s eyes widened so much he looked like he’d just seen a ghost. These array disks could even be sold at Yu Ling Long’s once-in-ten-years big auction? They’d definitely cause a sensation!
