"Well … it's fine after looking at it for a while … You don't have to keep looking at it, do you?"
Yang Qingxuan said awkwardly, "It's an Earth Instrument, after all. It's a little disrespectful to take it out all the time."
"Yes, yes, you're right. I was too infatuated."
Wu Hao said hurriedly with a respectful look on his face.
Yang Qingxuan couldn't bear it. He knew that Wu Hao's entire life depended on the Jiu Xiao Huan Pei, but the guqin wasn't in his hands right now. He didn't want to beg Hua Jieyu for help either, so he could only let Wu Hao suffer.
Qing Buli came back to his senses after a while. He said, "It's hard to believe, and I'm a little disappointed, but isn't it always our wish to conquer the Jiu Xiao Huan Pei? We should be happy right now. "
He saw that Wu Hao was a little down and comforted him.
Wu Hao smiled bitterly. "Wu Of Gojoseon is right."
Yang Qingxuan comforted him as well. "When I master it in the future, I'll drink tea with you and play under a tree."
"Really? That's great! "
Wu Hao was overjoyed and full of anticipation.
Qing Buli said, "We won't be able to guide you in your cultivation from now on. If we do, we'll only harm you. But you'd better stay in the school during this time. That white-robed man will probably come looking for you again. Before you master the Jiu Xiao Huan Pei, you're no match for him. "
Yang Qingxuan asked, "Who is that white-robed man?"
Qing Buli shook his head. "I don't know, but he's probably a terrifying opponent. Maybe he's someone from the other four nations. The other four nations have been eyeing the Jiu Xiao Huan Pei for a long time. "
Wu Hao gripped the guqin so hard that his fingers dug into the ground. He was obviously not calm. Yang Qingxuan saw this and knew that Qing Buli was hiding something. But since he didn't want to say it, he didn't want to force him. He said, "I know. I won't leave the school."
Qing Buli heaved a sigh of relief. "That's good."
Even though the Spiritual Qi in the valley was extremely dense, Yang Qingxuan did not want to stay behind. Qing Buli was also afraid that he would be in danger, so he brought Yang Qingxuan away from Divine Sound Mountain and back to the Institute.
As soon as the three of them entered the courtyard, they were greeted by three people: Prince Jin, a man, and a woman.
The woman had picturesque features and was as beautiful as a flower or the moon. The man was an old man who followed behind the woman like a servant.
When Prince Jin saw the three of them, he immediately came over and said, "Wu Gojoseon, you're finally back. I've brought you two guests. This is the daughter of the president of the Great Luo Chamber of Commerce, Hua Ling. This is the manager of the Great Luo Chamber of Commerce in the Northern Five Nations of the Black Night Continent, Tian Kai. "
Yang Qingxuan recognized that Tian Kai was the Brilliant World Seal that he had bought from him.
Tian Kai smiled and nodded at Qing Buli and Wu Hao in greeting.
Hua Ling also bowed in a dignified manner. However, her gaze was somewhat unfocused, as if she was not concentrating.
Yang Qingxuan felt a bit strange. This woman seemed to be paying special attention to him.
Qing Buli was startled. He naturally knew of the Great Luo Chamber of Commerce's reputation. It was a colossus that spanned across several planes, and its influence spanned the entire Thirty-Three Heavens.
"So it's Miss Hua Ling. Forgive me for not going out to meet you."
Qing Buli quickly cupped his fists in greeting.
Wu Hao and Yang Qingxuan also cupped their fists in greeting.
Hua Ling smiled. "I've long heard that Headmaster Qing Buli is the number one expert of the Northern Five Nations. Today, I finally get to meet you. This trip was not in vain."
Qing Buli smiled. "Miss Hua Ling is too polite."
Qing Buli knew that the young miss of such a large chamber of commerce held great power. There was no way she would come to the Heavenly Consort Academy for no reason.
As expected, Hua Ling smiled. "My Great Luo Chamber of Commerce wishes to expand our business in the Northern Five Nations of the Black Night Continent. We've already established a branch in the Jingyun Nation and plan to set up another in the Cangnan Nation. I've just discussed this with Prince Jin for a long time, and he is very supportive."
Prince Jin hurriedly said, "Since the Great Luo Chamber of Commerce is willing to set up a branch in the Cangnan Nation, I can't ask for anything more. Naturally, I will fully support it!"
The Cangnan Nation was located in the northernmost part of the Cangnan Nation, and its resources were the most scarce. If a branch of the Great Luo Chamber of Commerce were to set up a branch here, it would be a great thing. Su Ze still couldn't believe that a meat pie had fallen into his lap just like that.
Qing Buli naturally understood the key point. He was overjoyed. "That's great!"
Hua Ling smiled and continued, "I heard that the Five Nations Grand Tournament is about to begin, and this year's tournament is hosted by the Heavenly Consort Academy. In order to spread the name of the Great Luo Chamber of Commerce in the Northern Five Nations, I would like to discuss with Headmaster Qing to provide some resources to sponsor this tournament. What do you think? "
"Sponsor?"
Qing Buli was stunned. "Of course, this is good. I just don't know how Miss Hua Ling plans to sponsor this tournament, and what are you sponsoring?"
Prince Jin was also a little confused. He didn't know why Hua Ling wanted to see Qing Buli, but he didn't expect it to be this.
Hua Ling smiled faintly. "I will sponsor the winning academy with five top-grade human-grade origin artifacts."
"What?!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone except Tian Kai was shocked.
Yang Qingxuan was also taken aback, but he quickly understood. If a terrifying ancient treasure like the Brilliant World Seal could be casually auctioned off, it was clear how powerful this chamber of commerce was.
Hua Ling took in everyone's expressions and couldn't help but feel proud of her idea.
After discovering that Yang Qingxuan had the identities of Sword Tomb and Wu Qiyue, she went back and racked her brains on how to build a good relationship with the two. Finally, she came up with this idea of opening a branch and sponsoring the tournament.
As long as she opened a branch in the Cangnan Nation, she would have more opportunities to interact with the two in the future.
Moreover, if she took out five top-grade origin artifacts at once, it would definitely shake the entire Five Nations.
Hua Ling glanced at Yang Qingxuan, intentionally or otherwise, and thought to herself, You idiot, I'm going through all this trouble just to get close to and curry favor with you. What exactly is that terrifying identity of yours? Come, come, let's build a good relationship first. When you become powerful in the future, you have to protect me.
Qing Buli swallowed hard. "Is what Miss Hualing said true? Five top-grade human-grade origin artifacts? "
Hua Ling deliberately put on a stern face. "Principal Qing, do you think I'm joking?"
"No, no, it's too shocking. This old man misspoke, misspoke."
Qing Buli hurriedly apologized.
Hua Ling raised her hand and interrupted. "No matter, the five top-grade origin artifacts will be delivered before the tournament."
Then, she openly looked at Yang Qingxuan with her big watery eyes. "Eh, I think I've seen this little brother somewhere before. He looks somewhat familiar."
Tian Kai hurriedly said, "Miss, he's the one who bought the Brilliant World Seal."
Only then did Qing Buli and the others realize that Yang Qingxuan's Brilliant World Seal came from the Daluo Chamber of Commerce. They had thought it was left behind by Yang Zhao.
Yang Qingxuan cupped his fists and smiled. "Greetings, Miss Hua Ling."
"So it was you who bought the Brilliant World Seal."
Hua Ling blinked her eyes and said with a smile, "That jade seal is my most beloved item. I was just curious and decided to auction it off. I wanted to see who was fated with it. It turns out that it is fated with you. It seems that our fate is not shallow."
