Chapter 518: Chapter 518: Final Ultimatum
After giving the He Family’s old butler some instructions, Guang Xuanji dismissed him. Before he left, she gave him a special reminder not to try persuading Patriarch He or He Yuntian again for the next few days without her direct orders.The He Family’s old butler walked out of the private residence and quickly left under the cover of night. Little did he know that after he departed, Zhou Wen’s figure emerged from the darkness.
Watching the old butler’s retreating back, Zhou Wen smiled faintly. ’Hmph, what an old fox. But all his escape routes are useless.’
Zhou Wen had been secretly following the He Family’s old butler for some time, and the butler remained completely unaware.
The next day, at Chunfeng Tower, Guang Xuanji personally wrote a letter addressed to Young Master Cao.
This Young Master Cao was the only son of Cao Tianxing, the head of the Celestial Spirit Auction House in the Eastern Domain. The purpose of her letter was self-evident—she was almost certainly trying to lure Cao Tianxing to Wind City.
Summoning a member of the Qing Zhu Association, Guang Xuanji instructed, "You must deliver this letter to Young Master Cao in person."
The man left Wind City that same day. Just as he departed with Guang Xuanji’s handwritten letter, Lin Yun received a report.
"He’s gone? Good. Tell Chairman Qian that I will handle the rest," Lin Yun said to the man Chairman Qian had sent.
Guang Xuanji wanted to invite Cao Tianxing to Wind City, little knowing that this played right into Lin Yun’s hands. Cao Tianxing’s arrival was exactly what he wanted.
As the head of the Celestial Spirit Auction House in the Eastern Domain, Cao Tianxing oversaw its branches in the Five Great Cities and was himself a powerhouse at the Limit of the Spirit Realm.
Cao Tianxing was not in any of the Five Great Cities, but at the Eastern Domain headquarters of the Celestial Spirit Auction House: Celestial Spirit Town.
Lin Yun calculated the time. It would take Cao Tianxing five days at the fastest to travel from Celestial Spirit Town to Wind City. For the next few days, he planned to lay low.
Just then, a maid entered, bowed to Lin Yun, and said, "Young Master Lin, Miss Xiaoqing from Chunfeng Tower has sent a message specially inviting you for a visit. She says she has composed a new melody and would be honored if you would come and listen."
Hearing the maid’s words, Lin Yun smiled faintly. He then changed his clothes and walked out of the courtyard.
