Chapter 65 - Zhou Yun's Guess

“You’ve met Venerable Xunling!” Su Lingyun stopped smiling and asked Zhou Yun in a serious tone.

It was Zhou Yun’s first time seeing such a serious Su Lingyun!

Even when she was facing sect leader Ling Qingyun and surrounded by heretic cultivators, Su Lingyun had never been so serious!

“Quickly say it! When did this happen? Where is he?” Su Lingyun walked forward and grabbed Zhou Yun’s clothes, lifting him up!

Zhou Yun felt like he was being targeted by a ferocious beast! The huge force on his chest made him unable to resist at all!

At this moment, Zhou Yun realized that Su Lingyun didn’t seem to have the dejection that she had when they were alone, and she wasn’t as gentle as she was when facing outsiders.

All that was left was anger! In fact, she was so angry that it made people feel fear!

From Su Lingyun’s petite body, there was a terrifying aura that made Zhou Yun’s heart palpitate!

Zhou Yun used all of his spiritual energy to resist, but he could only block Su Lingyun’s hand!

However, this was only Su Lingyun’s physical strength! She didn’t even use her spiritual power!

Zhou Yun was dumbfounded! Was this still the same Su Lingyun who had been surrounded and injured by the heretic cultivators and had asked him for help?

Why did Su Lingyun, who was so powerful, ask him for help?

Zhou Yun felt that he was not as invincible as he had imagined!

Just as Zhou Yun was using his spiritual energy to defend against Su Lingyun’s attack and was even prepared to use the Setting Sun Sword Intent to defend himself, a cough sounded throughout the entire treasure-hunting area!

“Cough cough!”

This voice was clearly very soft, but it was deafening!

Zhou Yun’s head quivered from the impact!

“Little Su Lingyun, I didn’t expect that after so many years, you still couldn’t hold back when we meet again,” An old man on the pavilion said softly.

He was one of the golden core grand cultivators who guarded the place!

“Hmph!” Su Lingyun came back to her senses and put Zhou Yun down with an apologetic look in her eyes. “Senior He Xian, thank you.”

After saying that, Su Lingyun walked towards the exit of the treasure-hunting area.

Zhou Yun stood still for a few seconds.

“Keep up, the auction is about to start!” Su Lingyun turned her head and shouted, then continued to walk forward.

Zhou Yun picked up his bag and followed Su Lingyun.

He had many questions in his mind!

How powerful was Su Lingyun? Why did she become like this the moment she heard about Venerable Xunling? Moreover, what exactly was the devil in her heart?

Zhou Yun followed Su Lingyun.

The two of them did not speak until they met a servant. The two of them then followed the attendant into the auction house.

When the two of them entered the auction house, Zhou Yun realized that they had already entered a private room.

The concentration of spiritual Qi in this private room was even higher than that of his cave abode!

Furthermore, there were many spiritual fruits to enjoy!

Zhou Yun sat beside Su Lingyun. He didn’t have the chance to speak, nor did he know how to.

The two of them remained silent.

When the auction began, a black-robed man with a veil over his face walked up and began the auction. Zhou Yun was stunned.

“He’s not Venerable Xunling, don’t let your imagination run wild.” Su Lingyun finally spoke. She picked up a spiritual fruit and ate it indifferently.

“There are many people like that in the Treasure Pavilion. They are in charge of running the secret affairs of the Treasure Pavilion in many places.

“It also includes setting up stalls, auctions, and defense.”

Su Lingyun explained the operation of the Treasure Pavilion in detail while Zhou Yun listened to her.

He didn’t interrupt Su Lingyun’s words. He was also very curious about the background of this Venerable Xunling!

“However, even though they’re all dressed the same, there’s only one Venerable Xunling. And only he would call himself Venerable Xunling.” Su Lingyun paused for a moment and looked at Zhou Yun.

Zhou Yun nodded. The black-robed man he had met had indeed called himself Venerable Xunling!

“Do you know why I’m looking for him?” As Su Lingyun spoke, she seemed to recall something. She tilted her head to one side, full of pain.

“…” Zhou Yun chose to remain silent. He could only be a spectator.

“That’s because my fiancé also met Venerable Xunling. Five years after he met Venerable Xunling, he disappeared from this world without a trace. Within the Five Sects, a large amount of manpower was invested to find him again!” Su Lingyun explained in detail, her tone revealing extreme sadness.

“Junior Brother Zhou Yun, you met Venerable Xunling. Did you also disappear?” Su Lingyun smiled faintly, but she was so lonely that it made one’s heart ache.

“Do you know what Venerable Xunling would say?” Zhou Yun recalled that Venerable Xunling had said that he had specially come to find him.

“I don’t know. Back then, my fiancé went into closed-door cultivation after he met Venerable Xunling. After that, he came out to train and disappeared without a trace.” Su Lingyun said.

“He said that he came here to find me. He even said that I’m a heaven’s favorite of the Five Sects, and he wants to give these things to me. ” As Zhou Yun spoke, he pointed at the bag on the table.

He opened the bag.

It was a few magical technique manuals and a defensive spiritual weapon.

These were the items he was currently lacking.

Zhou Yun had already cultivated the spiritual Qi art to the extreme. Moreover, he was waiting for Su Lingyun to help him buy a spiritual sword.

In other words, Venerable Xunling already knew everything about him and had even helped him to make up for the missing cultivation techniques, Dharma spells, and defensive spiritual weapons!

“It’s possible that he really wants me to become stronger! And when facing the powerful me, he must have a purpose!” Zhou Yun guessed as he looked at the bag.

“For example, make me disappear and go to a certain place?” Zhou Yun was trying to guess the reason for Su Lingyun’s fiancé’s disappearance.

Upon hearing this, Su Lingyun’s dead eyes suddenly lit up!

She stared at Zhou Yun with a burning gaze!

“All this information is true!” Su Lingyun was very nervous! She was too afraid that the information was fake! “You’re saying that he might not be dead yet, but was taken to some place!”

Zhou Yun looked into Su Lingyun’s eyes. He knew that it was just his guess, but he didn’t have the heart to break Su Lingyun’s hope, so he could only nod.

“Senior Sister, wait for me to grow stronger. If it’s really as I’ve guessed, I believe that Venerable Xunling will find me very soon.” Zhou Yun still decided to give Su Lingyun some hope.

“After all, you’ve also said that I’m so talented that I make you feel disgusted.” Zhou Yun smiled.

“Argh! That’s right! You bastard Junior Brother!” Su Lingyun seemed to have found hope!

“Then Junior Brother, you have to work harder! After all, my fiancé is a genius!” Su Lingyun said with a smile. She suddenly looked at the auction house.

“In this case, it seems that the spiritual sword I want to buy for Junior Brother must be a peerless good sword!” Su Lingyun rubbed her hands in anticipation!

Zhou Yun’s eyes lit up! He didn’t expect that comforting Su Lingyun would actually bring him benefits!
