"There is, but we have never been to that place before." Qiao Chu said, scratching at his head. They had been to the pawnshop often, but the auction house ….. they had never been to it.
A million taels, was not an easy sum to gather. They had rushed to come in September and the Zephyr Academy was only open for three days. If they missed it, they would have to wait another year.
The Zephyr Academy was filled with experts and even Qiao Chu and his companions did not dare to barge in.
Just as the five of them were discussing where they were going to gather the one million taels, a few youths passing by the trees overheard their conversation and immediately showed disdainful expressions.
"If you don't have the money, don't come to the Zephyr Academy. You can't even afford that little bit of tuition fees and you want to go to the auction house? You bunch of country bumpkins! Let me tell you, even if you go to the auction house, it will be useless. There is only one auction house around here and the auction will only be held in three days. Even if you go there now, it will be useless. " One of the youths dressed in gold and jade jewels said scornfully, and the other youths beside him immediately burst out in laughter.
Everyone who dared to come to the Zephyr Academy had all inquired about the fees beforehand and had brought plenty of money with them. Who would find themselves running out of money when they arrived at the Zephyr Academy?
"Those who don't have the money, stop dreaming. Do you really think the Zephyr Academy is a place that just anyone can enter?" The youths laughed and walked away.
Qiao Chu's face darkened and Hua Yao immediately put a hand on his shoulder and shook his head at him.
"Their words might not be pleasant to the ears, but they have saved us the trouble of making a wasted trip. I'm afraid we will not be able to count on the auction house." Rong Ruo said with a sigh. Compared to the Zephyr Academy, the Phoenix Academy was really poor.
"Then what do we do now?" Fei Yan asked.
Jun Xie narrowed her eyes and suddenly asked Fei Yan: "Where has Mu Chen been all this time?"
After the Qing Yun Clan was annihilated, she had remained within the Phoenix Academy and did not know much about the happenings in the outside world. In the past month, Jun Wu Xie had noticed that Qiao Chu and the others' sources of information were basically all provided by Fei Yan.
Fei Yan paused a moment and said: "Mu Chen announced the dissolution of the Qing Yun Clan two weeks ago and it caused quite a stir. He dismissed the disciples from the Outer House and led the disciples from the Cloud Treading Peak away from the Cloudy Peaks. As to where they went, no one told anyone."
A glint flashed in Jun Wu Xie's eyes. She waved a hand at Hua Yao and whispered a few words into his ear. Hua Yao's face immediately showed a surprised expression, which then turned into a smile.
"That is a good idea, but if no one here has seen Mu Chen before, it will be difficult to do." Hua Yao said cautiously after he considered Jun Xie's suggestion.
Jun Wu Xie handed a token with the character "Yun" engraved on it to Hua Yao. Hua Yao was surprised. He was very familiar with the token, it was the Qing Yun Clan's token.
"Little Xie, why do you have this on you?" Qiao Chu looked at Jun Xie in surprise. When they had been at the Hidden Cloud Peak, they had each been given one. But before they had left the Cloudy Peaks, Qiao Chu had thrown away the token.
"I didn't have time to throw it away." Jun Wu Xie said softly. Everything had happened too suddenly in the Cloudy Peaks and she had not had time to do anything. When she woke up, she was already at the Phoenix Academy and the token had been with her ever since, and she had not had time to throw it away.
She had not thought that she would be able to put it to good use today.
