"Hah?" A sense of foreboding welled up in An Lin's heart upon seeing Yi Xi's expression.
Could it be … that this really was just an empty promise?!
At the same time, within the Peach Blossom Pavilion within the territory of the Celestial Court.
A woman in a simple daoist robe propped her chin in her hands as she gazed out the window at the peach blossoms outside, and she heaved a faint sigh.
Her slender fingers twirled her hair around her temples as her eyes glazed over, as if she were thinking about something.
"Xiao Zi, what's bothering you again?"
A warm and gentle voice suddenly sounded behind her, drawing her attention back to the present.
"Father! Don't keep calling me by my nickname, it's making me think of that bastard again! "The woman turned to look at the scholarly man behind her with a displeased expression.
The man was the ruler of the Kingdom of the Nine States, but he was not enraged in the slightest by his daughter's scolding. Instead, he teased, "This shows that I and that An Lin fellow think alike. Isn't his beast pet Xiao Hong, which is the name of Dabai? What a nice name!"
"Ha, so you're referring to me as a beast pet?" The woman immediately retorted with displeasure.
The man's words faltered upon hearing this.
He felt like his daughter was becoming more and more fond of talking back to him. He had clearly raised her in the direction of a graceful and elegant woman, but why was her temper getting worse and worse recently …
This woman was none other than An Lin, Lin Junjun, who had been infuriated by him countless times. The scholarly man in front of her was naturally the most powerful being in the Kingdom of the Nine States, the ruler of the Celestial Court — the Celestial Thearch.
The Celestial Thearch had initially wanted to name his seven daughters red, orange, yellow, green, azure, blue, and purple. Unfortunately, this idea was firmly rejected by the Queen Mother, and she named them Tian Shou, Tian Yang, Tian Rong, Tian Chang, Tian Xian, Tian Qing, and Tian Yu.
The seven daughters naturally preferred the normal style of names given by the Queen Mother of the West, so the color system of names gradually faded from the sight of the immortals. Only the Celestial Emperor still stubbornly called out the original color system of names.
When the Celestial Emperor found out that Xiuxian United University's An Lin also liked to name his pet beast after its color, he exclaimed that he had met a soulmate. If it weren't for the fact that the Celestial Emperor wanted to let him develop freely for a few more years, he would have met him long ago.
The Celestial Thearch smiled as he asked, "Is this because of that bastard An Lin again?"
"Exactly … You're bullying me because I don't have money again …" Lin Junjun pursed her lips in displeasure.
The Heavenly Emperor became even happier when he heard this, "We should be happy about this. Being able to dig up so much information about Purple Star will play a huge role in the development of the Celestial Court, you and I both know that. This little friend An Lin is truly a genius. We admire him more and more now … "
The Celestial Thearch paused momentarily before continuing, "How about this, we should be able to extract another five hundred vital stones from the Ingot Pavilion in a few days. Little Zi, you can go find the God of Fortune and use that money to knock that little bastard out!"
Lin Junjun rolled her eyes. "Father, I'm not trying to discourage you, but even a thousand vital stones may not be enough."
"That much?!" The Celestial Thearch faltered slightly before exclaiming in surprise.
Tian Yu had always been responsible for collecting information about Purple Star, and the Celestial Thearch usually didn't ask about it.
Only now did he realize just how much information an insignificant cultivator like An Lin possessed.
"Good, good!" After a brief moment of silence, the Celestial Thearch said, "This is the fortune of the Heavenly Court, heroes really do emerge from the young! With this much information, we should be able to proceed to the third step of the experiment, right? "
A hint of a smile appeared on Lin Junjun's face as she nodded. "The third step has already begun, and I was just about to report it to you."
The Celestial Thearch was feeling quite elated, and he laughed heartily. "This An Lin is capable of doing many unexpected things. This is a manifestation of his strength, as well as his luck. It's not a bad idea for you to interact with him more, Little Zi …"
Lin Junjun naturally understood what her father was implying, and a blush instantly appeared on her face. Just as she was about to reply, she discovered that the voice transmission talisman in her storage ring suddenly flashed.
She pulled out her voice transmission talisman to contact Yi Xi the Enlightened.
"Hmm? Why is Yi Xi the Enlightened looking for me? "She was a little confused, but she still chose to accept the call.
A voice sounded from the other side of the voice transmission talisman, but it was not Yi Xi's voice. Instead, it was a voice that had left a deep impression on her …
"Hey, Lin Junjun, you've gone too far! What are you trying to do by giving me a blank check?!"
The voice on the other end belonged to none other than An Lin, and he was clearly in a very foul mood as he immediately lashed out at Lin Junjun.
Lin Junjun was given a fright, but she was quite quick-witted and quickly figured out what was going on. "Do you want to exchange for an immortal pill now?"
"That's right! How can you bully an honest person like this?!
"Aren't you afraid of retribution for doing this? Do you think you can bully people like us just because you have a good father? Exchanging an immortal pill for a dozen or so talismans is already a bargain for you, but it's still a f * cking fake! Doesn't your conscience hurt … "
An Lin was still spewing verbal abuse to vent his displeasure.
It didn't feel good to be looked at like an idiot by Yi Xi. He really felt like he had been tricked by Tian Yu, but he couldn't really do anything to Tian Yu, so he could only use his words to try and make Tian Yu realize her conscience …
"Ahem … Little Zi, did you really do this?" The Celestial Thearch looked at Lin Junjun with a curious expression after hearing the voice transmission talisman.
Lin Junjun's chest constricted. At this moment, she really wanted to hang up the voice transmission talisman!
That's right, she hadn't told Yi Xi in advance when she wrote the "Yu" message for An Lin.
That was because after she returned to the Dou Shuai Palace, she suddenly had an idea. She wanted to prank this man who had bullied her in the past and make him dumbfounded at the Dou Shuai Palace. After that, she would just tell Yi Xi about it.
Initially, this wasn't a problem, but now that her father had overheard everything, the nature of the situation was completely different. How was she going to explain this to her father? She wasn't the type to make empty promises, but the truth was right before her eyes … Even if she explained that she wanted to prank An Lin first, that would still be an act of abusing her position to avenge a personal grudge …
An Lin's enraged voice continued to ring out from the voice transmission talisman. Lin Junjun's body trembled slightly, and her face was bright red. She was on the verge of tears from An Lin's words.
It's him again … It's him again … He only knows how to bully me!
The Celestial Thearch could roughly guess what was going on from Lin Junjun's expression. He patted her shoulder and shook his head with a smile. "You two are destined to be enemies …"
The Celestial Thearch didn't mind Lin Junjun doing this. However, Lin Junjun had always been a shy girl, and now that he had discovered this, she felt a little embarrassed, which was why she was in such a difficult situation.
"You take care of this yourself and pacify this little b * stard's rage, haha." The Celestial Thearch knew that his presence here would only make things more difficult for his daughter, so he took the initiative to leave.
Meanwhile, An Lin's verbal attack was still continuing …
"That's enough! Don't you want the immortal pill? Pass the voice transmission talisman to Yi Xi! "
Lin Junjun finally exploded with rage after the Celestial Thearch left.
"Huh?"
"Yes, Master Tianyu!"
After a brief silence, the man realized that his verbal attack had finally worked, and he excitedly passed the voice transmission talisman to Yi Xi.
Lin Junjun made all sorts of explanations and promises to Yi Xi with a cold expression before settling the matter.
She hung up the voice transmission talisman in a huff, and her chest rose and fell slightly as she harrumphed lightly. The image of that man laughing heartily appeared in her mind again, and she involuntarily clenched her fists.
"An Lin … I'll remember this!"
