Chapter 320 - The Black Box

The item was swiftly delivered to Ah Chun's private room. She did not leave right away. She stayed in the room and looked at the item in front of her. "Junior sister what is this?" 

"I am not too sure myself. When I saw it I felt a strong connection to it." Ah Chun looked over the black box that was not so much a box but more of a rectangle with curved edges. It had two sections that had some kind of weird material on it that could be seen through on one side.

Ah Chun continued to look over the object not sure of what it was. She turned it in her hands when her finger accidentally pressed something causing a part of the rectangle to swing open. A video much like the one she saw in the ancient ruined city started to play. 

---

"Mama, what's that?" A small girl that looked no more than three to four years old that closely resembled Ah Chun, was holding a strange looking toy in her hand. It seemed she was asking a question to the person who was standing outside the images frame.

"This here is a video camera. I am recording my precious Chun'er so when you grow older you will be able to look back on your days when you were just three years old!" The woman who was out of the images frame said.

"When I get older?" The little girl who seemed to be named Chun'er gazed up at the woman who was out of the images frame questioningly.

"Yes, when you get older!" 

After that, the image changed again and this time the little girl from before was now laying in bed sleeping. "Do not blame yourself. The doctor said this is something that happens. We just have to rely on hope and hope we can find a cure for this disease." 

"But the doctors also said that they have yet to be able to find a cure!" 

--

After that, the image went black again. Ah Chun stared at the box not sure what to think of it. Everyone was quiet because they had never seen such a thing before. No one there could sense any spirit power coming from the black box but yet it still played out a sequence of moving images.

Ah Chun who was lost in thought decided to just store it away. In any case, it seemed to have to do with her so it was best to keep it since it might come in handy later on. "Alright, let's get going. With Big Brother Xu's warning, no one should try anything." 

Ah Chun was right, not a single person tried to follow them when they exited the auction house. It seemed that Xu Wei's warning held a lot of weight for the cultivators that were there. The three returned to the inn, but Elder Ming still had yet to return and Dong Yi was nowhere to be found. 

"We will wait for a few days, if they do not return, we will go search for them." Ah Chun did not like Dong Yi but she still couldn't leave him, since he was her new senior brother after all.

"Junior Sister… Do you think something bad happened to them?" Mei Yan asked.

"This I am not sure. But we can only hope that they are okay. For now, just cultivate, we will lock ourselves in for the next few days and see if they return." Ah Chun could only say this to try to appease Mei Yan's worries. 

Unfortunately, three days passed and still no word from either of them. Ah Chun had sent out Xu Wei a few times trying to pick up at least a trace of their whereabouts but was not having any luck. Knowing sitting around would not do them any good, Ah Chun took Xu Wei and Mei Yan with her as she decided to do some digging on her own. The first place she went to was the Blossom Auction House, when she arrived the Manager Chen quickly welcomed her in.

"What brings Fairy Chun to the Blossom Auction House today?" Manager Chen asked as he served Ah Chun a cup of tea.

"Is that old man in?" Ah Chun asked. She did not know his name or who he was exactly so she could only refer to him as, old man.

Manager Chen's eye twitched but still kept a smile on his face. "The Auction Master is in, would you like to meet with him?"

"Yes, tell him I have come requesting for him to look into something for me. I am new here in Black Mountain City so I do not have any connections." Ah Chun explained.

"May I know what the request is Fairy Chun?" Manager Chen figured he could just relay the whole message instead of making the Auction Master come all the way to them. Sadly His actions seemed too nosy causing Ah Chun to begin to get mad. He quickly shut his mouth knowing if he said any more might cause a problem. "I will go get the Auction Master!"

Manager Chen, hurriedly left the room leaving Ah Chun, Mei Yan, and Xu Wei by themselves. Ah Chun came here first because the Auction House Master was the only one she knew so far in the entirety of Black Mountain city. 

"Junior Sister do you think this man will be able to help us?" Mei Yan asked, she was a bit scared and worried at the same time.

"I am not sure. I can only hope that he can. He seems like he might have the connections needed to search for people."

"Oh? Fairy Chun, you need me to look for someone?"
