Chapter 521: Chapter 521: Cao Tianxing Arrives
Lu Bingning and the other woman were still in seclusion, so Lin Yun went straight to the small courtyard where the Celestial Bamboo Saint lived. Before Lin Yun could even speak, the Celestial Bamboo Saint’s voice called out, telling him to enter.It was the same simple courtyard. The Celestial Bamboo Saint was seated on a cushion in the center, and he gestured for Lin Yun to sit down before speaking. "Young man, I’ve heard everything. Well done. Your arrangements are excellent."
The Celestial Bamboo Saint looked at Lin Yun, seemingly very pleased. His words and expression were filled with admiration.
Since the Celestial Bamboo Saint already knew, Lin Yun didn’t need to elaborate. The Saint told him that if the Qing Zhu Association dispatched a Saint of their own, he would personally intervene.
Having received the Celestial Bamboo Saint’s assurance, Lin Yun bowed respectfully.
Figures like the Celestial Bamboo Saint were paramount among the Six Great Forces of the Eastern Domain. Under normal circumstances, it was incredibly difficult to persuade them to act. Only when another Saint made a move would they reveal themselves.
After getting his confirmation from the Celestial Bamboo Saint, Lin Yun stayed for a while longer, not leaving the Bamboo Courtyard until dusk.
That night, Lin Yun, Luo Feng, and the Six Supreme Elders arrived secretly in Wind City. However, the group did not go to the Bai Family’s estate; instead, they headed for the Celestial Spirit Auction House.
They didn’t use the main entrance. For experts at the Spirit Realm like Luo Feng and the others, sneaking into the Celestial Spirit Auction House undetected was a simple matter.
In a secret chamber in the rear courtyard of the Celestial Spirit Auction House, Luo Feng and the others met Chairman Qian.
Since Lin Yun had orchestrated the entire affair, Luo Feng and the others said little. After they all exchanged greetings, Lin Yun took the lead and asked, "Chairman Qian, where is Cao Tianxing now?"
Hearing Lin Yun’s question, Chairman Qian replied worriedly, "He will arrive in Wind City tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? It seems he’s rushing over without a moment’s rest," Lin Yun remarked lightly upon hearing Chairman Qian’s response.
"Brother Lin Yun, are you sure about this?" With Cao Tianxing arriving tomorrow, Chairman Qian suddenly felt his nerves fraying.
In truth, Chairman Qian couldn’t be blamed. It was simply that Lin Yun’s plan was too audacious.
Lin Yun had discussed the plan with Chairman Qian during their very first meeting, and it was this discussion that had convinced the chairman to go along with it.
Lin Yun had instructed Chairman Qian to interfere in the conflicts within Wind City. Lin Yun knew that with such a perfect excuse, Guang Xuanji would surely notify Cao Tianxing, the head of the Celestial Spirit Auction House for the Eastern Domain.
