Chapter 2055 A Clan Conflict

The information revealed by Lady Kang was concerning to hear. Lin Mu even wondered if this was fine to be revealed like this.

"Are you sure you want to tell me this?" Lin Mu asked, just in case.

"It's fine." Lady Kang replied. "This hasn't been a secret for a long time." She added.

"I see..." Lin Mu replied, as he thought about the implications of it all.

While he was thinking this though, something obvious became apparent to him.

"Wait... If you need to find the seal, why are you asking me?" Lin Mu questioned. "I'm sure with your clan's resources, finding a much more renowned Spatial Master shouldn't be hard." He was rather doubtful.

"There's another reason why I'm asking you rather than utilizing my clan's connections." Lady Kang said, making Lin Mu look at her with full attention. "My clan cannot know that I am looking for the seal. Or rather... The other Branch Head cannot know." She added.

Lin Mu felt like his hunch was right and there was indeed more to it.

'Some kind of internal conflict perhaps.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

"So why is it that you need the seal?" Lin Mu questioned next, hoping to figure out more things from it.

"The Kang Clan owns several businesses and not just the Auction house. It just so happens that the Auction house is more well known now under my control." Lady Kang started to speak. "But in addition to the Auction house, we also have a Merchant Union, an Alchemy pavilion, a Weapon and Immortal Tool Refinement hall, as well as an Immortal Herb farm. Each of these are run by different branches of the clan, and at the top of them are branch heads." She explained. Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com

"Indeed." Lady Kang nodded. "There's a reason why the original clan seal hasn't been found even after all these years. The branches have a tacit understanding of not finding it if they wish to keep their power. They prevent each other from finding it as well.

As such, using the clan's resources to find a proper Spatial Master to find the Clan seal is simply impossible. The only way left was for me to find someone not affiliated with the clan and its network, which was basically impossible since almost all Spatial masters are well known." She stated.

"So that's why you came after me... Someone who hasn't been known to the others." Lin Mu realized.

"Indeed." Lady Kang nodded. "If you can help me find the original Clan seal, it'll solidify my position as the absolute Clan Head of the Kang Clan, and for that I'll be willing to pay a suitable cost." She said looking directly into Lin Mu's eyes.

Hearing this, an idea appeared in Lin Mu's mind. 'Could that work?' "Hmm... What would be the limitation of the payment?" Lin Mu asked, narrowing his eyes.

"Our clan has vast connections across the Immortal realm along with the Immortal Court. Thus whether it be specific resources, pills, cultivation manuals or Qi skills, we'll be able to find them. If you need rare spatial elemental resources, we can obtain those too... Including Spatial Skills." Lady Kang answered with a slight smile. She knew her offer would tempt Lin Mu, especially the latter parts of it.

'Spatial Skills are the hardest to obtain. Even if one has a natural affinity with the Spatial Element, if they do not have suitable Spatial Skills, it is a waste.' Lady Kang thought, but didn't know that Spatial Skills held the least value in Lin Mu's eyes.

'With Senior Xukong, what spatial skills would I even need that he cannot teach?' Lin Mu laughed in his mind.

"Forget all those." Lin Mu suddenly spoke. "Would you be able to obtain someone from the Immortal Court instead." He turned the conversation in another direction.

"Yeah that is possible." Lady Kang nodded her head. "If you need an entry into the Immortal Court, or wish to become the disciple of an elder, that can be arranged too." She stated.

But both of these things weren't something Lin Mu needed either. Plus they were something he could very easily obtain if he wished to with his own abilities.
