Chapter 509: Chapter 509: Chairman Qian
Upon arriving at the small courtyard where Bai Ling lived, a maid announced them. Lin Yun and Li Tian walked into the yard, where Bai Ling and Mo Qingshui were sitting on bamboo chairs. Shi Wu, meanwhile, was pacing back and forth anxiously to the side."Brother Lin Yun, what are we going to do? Who could’ve known the Second Miss would get into this much trouble?" Shi Wu said regretfully as Lin Yun approached.
’If I had known that man was Chairman Qian’s son, I would have dragged Mo Qingliu away even if it killed me. The Celestial Spirit Auction House is a behemoth; the Mo Family is no match for them at all.’
"Brother Shi Wu, don’t worry." Hearing Shi Wu’s words, Lin Yun reassured him.
At this, Mo Qingshui, who was at her wit’s end, looked over at Lin Yun. Noticing his relaxed expression, she asked in a low, serious voice, "Lin Yun, have you figured out a way to rescue my sister?"
Hearing Mo Qingshui’s question, Lin Yun didn’t beat around the bush. He nodded directly and said, "Yes. You two needn’t worry. I’m confident I can bring Qingliu back safely."
Lin Yun’s voice was brimming with confidence. For some reason, just looking at him made Bai Ling and Mo Qingshui’s anxious hearts settle. They had originally been planning to go find Luo Feng.
He told them not to worry and that he was heading to the Celestial Spirit Auction House right away. Shi Wu wanted to tag along, but Lin Yun refused, saying that Li Tian was all the company he needed.
Having a servant prepare a horse-drawn carriage, Lin Yun took Li Tian with him, and the two headed directly to the Celestial Spirit Auction House.
In truth, Chairman Qian’s position within the Celestial Spirit Auction House wasn’t particularly high; he was merely the director for Wind City. Regardless, he was still a representative of the Celestial Spirit Auction House, so the people of Flawless Palace would still give him some face.
After alighting from the carriage at the entrance to the Celestial Spirit Auction House, Lin Yun immediately sensed that the atmosphere was off. The maids who normally welcomed guests had all been replaced by the auction house’s guards.
As he reached the entrance of the Celestial Spirit Auction House, a guard blocked Lin Yun’s path. In response, Lin Yun smiled and said, "Would you please inform Chairman Qian that Lin Yun of Flawless Palace has come to call?"
Upon hearing the name Lin Yun, the guard’s expression visibly softened. The news that Lin Yun was the head disciple of Flawless Palace had already spread throughout the Eastern Heart Domain.
After asking Lin Yun to wait a moment, one of the guards turned and left to inform Chairman Qian.
Standing at the entrance with Li Tian, he didn’t have to wait long before the guard who had gone to announce him returned. The guard bowed respectfully to Lin Yun. "Young Master Lin, my apologies for the wait. The Chairman has asked me to bring you in."
