There was an unwritten rule in the Cultivation World, or rather, it was a consensus. Using one's divine sense to spy on another's sphere of influence, be it malicious or unintentional, would be considered an invasion.
That was because all the secrets within one's sphere of influence could be seen by the other party with a sweep of the divine sense.
Therefore, as long as it was a slightly larger force in the Cultivation World, be it a sect or a family, they would basically have a Mountain Guarding Formation or a clan expert.
This could also be considered a moral bottom line. If someone crossed the line, it would be a battle of strength. To put it bluntly, it was a test of one's fighting prowess.
On a grand scale, it was like a country protecting its airspace against foreign enemies. On a small scale, it was like an ordinary family protecting their privacy against thieves.
How could Ye Tianshui not understand this logic? Did he need Ling Yun to say it to his face?
He wasn't here to cause trouble, but to invite Ling Yun to the auction. Now that Ling Yun was treating him like a thief, Ye Tianshui was so angry that his nose was crooked.
In fact, Ye Tianshui was forced to come by Ye Qingfeng. He was very repulsed and unwilling to come, but he was convinced by Ye Qingfeng's words.
"No matter who Ling Yun is or what his character is like, his reputation and achievements were forged by his own hands. This has become a publicly acknowledged fact since last night. Since he has already told you that he wants to attend the Ye Family's auction, it would be impolite of us not to invite him. "
Ye Tianshui once complained, "Then why must I go?"
Ye Qingfeng smiled. "In our Ye Family, the only one who has dealt with him face to face is you. Who else can go if not you?"
"As for the other reason …" Ye Qingfeng glanced at the sword whetstone in his yard and said with a smile, "Tianshui, Ling Yun is your sword whetstone."
"It's difficult for you to cultivate. If you want to completely master the Sword Nurturing Technique, you have to interact with Ling Yun."
Just from Ye Qingfeng's words, it was obvious that Ye Qingfeng was far above Chen Jingxuan in terms of breadth of mind and insight.
That was why Ye Tianshui appeared at the Ling Family's gate this afternoon.
"I don't need you to remind me!" Ye Tianshui said angrily, "Am I that kind of person? Ling Yun, don't measure the heart of a gentleman with your own mean measure. I'm not bragging, but if we were to weigh our morals on a scale, mine would be at least ten kilograms heavier than yours! "
"Hahahahaha …" Ling Yun burst into laughter. He couldn't help but step forward and pat Ye Tianshui's round belly. "There's no need to weigh me. Who would dare to weigh you with your size? I concede defeat. "
"Do you think it's interesting to bicker with me?"
Ye Tianshui realized that there was no way he could beat Ling Yun in a verbal argument, and he couldn't beat him in a fight either, so he just admitted defeat. "Can you be more serious? Do you want this VIP invitation or not?"
"Yes. Why not? " Ling Yun snatched the invitation away and hugged Ye Tianshui's shoulder. "Why? Can't I attend the Ye Family's auction without this invitation?"
Actually, Ling Yun had already understood that anyone could enter as long as they could pay the required deposit of a hundred million yuan. There were no other restrictions.
Originally, Ling Yun was considering if he should disguise himself and see if he could sneak in. However, it was obviously impossible with Ye Tianshui's actions.
Ye Tianshui felt very awkward being hugged by Ling Yun. He struggled to say, "That's not it. Anyone can attend as long as they can pay the deposit. However, if you're not a VIP, your position won't be good. Moreover, the seats you sit in and the tea you drink will definitely not be as good as the service you enjoy. "
"I understand!" Ling Yun asked with a smile, "How many people can I bring in with this invitation?"
"Normally, you can bring four or five people. Any more and it won't be good. One compartment won't be able to fit."
Ye Tianshui was surprisingly patient and explained very clearly now that he could finally communicate with Ling Yun normally.
Ling Yun nodded to show that he understood. He then asked, "Then what are you auctioning tonight? Tell me about it. "
"That's impossible." Ye Tianshui shook his head decisively. "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but I don't pay much attention to this. Won't you know when you get there?"
Ye Tianshui's face was full of wariness. He turned to look at Ling Yun, afraid that he was going to cause trouble again. He asked, "You're not going to ruin the Ye Family's reputation, are you?"
"Hehe, how could I?" Ling Yun smiled innocently and said, "Then I'll go have some fun tonight and experience the Ye family's auction."
Ling Yun agreed just like that.
Actually, his goal tonight was very clear. It was the Golden Black Devilish Silk. He was determined to get it. As for the rest, it depended on whether there were any surprises.
With that, Ling Yun let go of Ye Tianshui and took two steps back. He raised his chin at him.
His meaning couldn't be more obvious. He had taken the invitation and said what needed to be said. Ling Yun directly asked him to leave.
"Uh …"
Ye Tianshui was a little anxious. Actually, Ye Qingfeng wanted him to accompany Ling Yun to the auction site after he delivered the invitation until the Ye Family's auction ended.
Otherwise, Ye Tianshui wouldn't have to personally make a trip just to deliver an invitation.
"Why, what else do you want?"
Seeing Ye Tianshui's hesitation, Ling Yun asked with a smile.
"Uh, Ling Yun, actually, I'm here to invite you to go with me. We'll have a meal together later, then we'll go to the auction site …"
"Thank you for your kind offer, but there's no need. It's inconvenient." Ling Yun rejected him directly and waved his hand at Ye Tianshui. "Get lost."
Ling Yun thought to himself, You don't even know what your family is auctioning, and you still want to be my guide?
It's obvious that the Ye Family specially sent you to keep an eye on me. Look at your treacherous face. The only thing missing is the words "I'm a mole" written on your forehead.
Who knew that Ye Tianshui's reaction would make Ling Yun a little dumbfounded. After hearing it, Ye Tianshui actually turned around and left as if he had been pardoned. He almost used his Qinggong on the streets to get into his super large luxury car and disappeared in an instant.
"So you're not a mole …" Ling Yun raised his hand to his forehead and laughed. "Wrong judgment."
Ling Yun didn't think about how badly he had bullied Ye Tianshui. Ye Tianshui couldn't wait for him to reject him and escape as soon as possible.
A whetstone was a whetstone, but Ye Tianshui was grinding it with his life. He didn't want to stay a second longer.
Moreover, it was just an auction. Even though it was Ling Yun's first time participating, the Ye Family had held it at least two or three times a year for decades. He was already used to it.
After Ye Tianshui left, Ling Yun returned to the house and found Tie Xiaohu and Mo Wudao. The three of them had a detailed discussion. Then, Ling Yun gave Xiao Meimei a call. After explaining everything clearly, he transferred five hundred million yuan to Xiao Meimei and asked her to act according to the plan.
…
The VIP invitation clearly stated that the Ye Family's auction would start at eight in the evening. Therefore, after reporting to Ling Lie, Ling Yun brought Tie Xiaohu and Mo Wudao out of the Ling Family's mansion in an inconspicuous but comfortable seven-seater Mercedes-Benz commercial car to pick up Qin Dongxue.
Qin Dongxue lived about six kilometers away from the Ling Family. It wasn't far, and there wasn't much traffic on the road. Therefore, Ling Yun's eyes lit up when he saw Qin Dongxue.
Qin Dongxue was dressed like a city beauty because she lived in a high-class district. She wore a snow-white shirt, dark blue skinny jeans, high heels, and light makeup. Her long hair fluttered in the wind, and her figure was alluring. Her legs were long and slender. She was far better than the female celebrities in the entertainment industry.
Qin Dongxue knew that Ling Yun was coming to pick her up. She was already prepared and waiting at the entrance of the district.
"Aunty, you're so beautiful today!" Ling Yun exclaimed sincerely as he got out of the car and flew to Qin Dongxue's side.
Qin Dongxue originally wanted to teach Ling Yun a lesson, but the moment she saw him, the inexplicable resentment in her heart disappeared. Now that she received Ling Yun's praise, her heart was filled with joy, and the corners of her eyes and brows were filled with joy.
However, she still glared at Ling Yun with her beautiful eyes before bursting into laughter. "I'll let you off this time on account of your sweet mouth."
"Hehe, thank you for your magnanimity, Aunty!" Ling Yun naturally sucked up to her. "I knew it, Aunty dotes on me the most."
"Hmph!" Qin Dongxue snorted coldly. "But I'll remember this debt. If you do it again, I'll teach you a lesson."
"Don't worry, Aunty. There won't be a next time." Ling Yun chuckled and promised.
Ling Yun destroyed the Sun Chen Alliance and defeated the Heavenly Group last night. The Ling Family was in the limelight now. At least in Beijing, no one dared to find trouble with the Ling Family. That was purely looking for trouble.
Not even the Long Family.
Therefore, Ling Yun estimated that he would have a rare period of time before the Demon Subduing Conference. He would be able to cultivate and do things in peace.
"Hmm, that's more like it. Get in the car first. These people are so annoying. "
Qin Dongxue had only been standing at the entrance of the neighborhood for a few minutes, but many men were already attracted by her peerless beauty. Their gazes were passionate and unwilling to leave as they marveled at her beauty.
"Hmph!"
Ling Yun had seen it long ago. He snorted coldly and secretly used the Mystical Dragon Howl to make those people's heads buzz. Their bodies wobbled before he returned to the car with a smug smile.
"Xiaohu, head east. Mo Wudao will tell you the exact direction."
After picking up Qin Dongxue, they had to pick up Ye Xingchen as well. Then, the five of them would attend the auction together.
"Alright, Big Brother Yun."
Tie Xiaohu stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped away.
