Chapter 829: A ’Guest’ In City Lord’s Mansion (Part 2)

While the Jade Fang Stone was hard to find, it wasn’t impossible, or Lake Heart Pavilion wouldn’t have built such a strong reputation.

This time, her mistress had used her status as the City Lord’s daughter to buy the Jade Fang Stone from the Lake Heart Pavilion.

That matter would need to be smoothed over afterward to avoid damaging relations.

"Yuri?" Sehyun Wang pressed her.

Yuru sighed in defeat. "Phoenix Feathers, no. Even Lake Heart Pavilion can’t acquire them. As for the millennium-aged Snow Pine Wood, there may be some."

"Yes! Thank you, Amalia!" Sehyun Wang cheered in her mind and immediately said to Amalia, "The millennium-aged Snow Pine Wood you want is available."

Yuri couldn’t help but pinch the bridge of her nose.

Who reveals their trump card so quickly?

But it was also the first time she had seen her mistress like this—Sehyun Wang seemed to have genuinely fallen for the man in white robes this time.

Amalia frowned.

This was troublesome.

She couldn’t detect any hint that these two people had feelings for her mistress.

Was it going to come down to force in the end?

Maybe she should investigate these two first.

If they didn’t have an impressive background, perhaps there was room to maneuver.

"And what if your father doesn’t agree?" Amalia asked with a smile.

Sehyun Wang swallowed her saliva nervously, admiring how beautiful Amalia was when she smiled.

But she knew she couldn’t have both.

If she was too greedy, she might end up with neither of them.

"What are you staring at?" Kenny Lin noticed Sehyun Wang’s dazed expression and his anger flared.

"No, no! My heart and soul are only for you!" Sehyun Wang hurriedly declared, thinking Kenny Lin had misunderstood her, worried that he might think she was being unfaithful.

Amalia found the City Lord’s daughter amusing and tried to calm him down. "Let it go, she doesn’t mean any harm."

"Yes, yes, don’t take it seriously. Just let it slide," Sehyun Wang nodded quickly.

Amalia shook her head. "You still haven’t answered my question."

"Oh, right!" Sehyun Wang finally realized, patting her chest to assure them. "My father adores very me—he spoils me rotten. I’m his only precious daughter, and there’s nothing he won’t give me. You can rest assured, if you agree to be my guests for just five days—just five days—I’ll hand over the Jade Fang Stone and the millenium-aged Snow Pine Wood. And if my father refuses, I’ll threaten him with my life!"

Five days should be enough time to figure out the identities of the man in white robes and the woman in black robes.

Once she knew who they were, she could take her time.

"Then, my lady, please put that in writing. After all, we’ve only just met, so it would ease both our minds," Amalia suggested.

Instead of being offended by the suggestion that her character might be doubted, Sehyun Wang found Amalia’s reasoning fair.

They had only just met, so it was understandable that he’d be cautious.

She readily agreed.

Yuri, after a long internal struggle, half-heartedly attempted to dissuade her mistress.

Unsurprisingly, she was refused.

She glanced at Amalia, thinking to herself.

This woman certainly had a way with words.

Her mistress hated people who broke their promises or doubted her word.

Yet, despite questioning her multiple times, Amalia hadn’t once made Sehyun Wang angry.

Appearance really had such a significant effect on the mistress.

After this experience, Yuri became more vigilant, adding one more thing to be mindful of in the future.

Sehyun Wang, afraid her handwriting wasn’t pretty enough, had her maid write two copies of the agreement, one for each party, and then both signed and sealed them.

"Five days is way too long," Kenny Lin grumbled.

Amalia smiled softly and whispered, "It’s not that bad. Time flies when you’re cultivating."

Kenny Lin was quiet for a moment. "Have I wronged you in the past?"

"Oh, plenty of times," Amalia sighed.

Kenny Lin’s back stiffened.

He realized he would have to be extra cautious in the future—one misstep and he might lose his chance to do dual cultivation sessions again in The future.

Even though he had to remain still during those sessions, the spiritual and environmental harmony afterward made him anticipate each one eagerly.

With the agreements exchanged, Sehyun Wang held her copy with joy, noticing Amalia’s name written in elegant calligraphy.

Though it wasn’t the name of the man in the white robes she desired to marry, she now knew his companion’s name, so she felt confident the man in the white robes’s name would be hers soon.

"Amalia, do you mind if I call you ’Sister Amalia’? And what should I call this handsome fellow?" Sehyun Wang’s curiosity got the best of her, and she immediately sought to learn the other’s name.

"You’re older than me, so maybe don’t call me ’Sister Amalia,’" Amalia replied with a smile.

The crowd began to laugh.

Sehyun Wang’s age had long been a topic of idle gossip for them.

Sehyun Wang wasn’t embarrassed.

She knew her own aptitude wasn’t great and was well aware of her age—older than many people.

In the mortal world, she could probably be their great-great-grandmother, but so what?

For cultivators, a century passes in the blink of an eye, and age is no issue.

It wasn’t uncommon for a thousand-year-old elder to marry a hundred-year-old female cultivator.

She was merely two hundred years old, so why shouldn’t she marry a man in his prime, a few decades younger?

"In that case, I’ll just call you Amalia," she said cheerfully.

Then, her gaze shifted longingly to Kenny Lin.

"His surname is Lin," Amalia answered for him, keeping it simple.

Learning the surname of the handsome man in white robes was enough to satisfy Sehyun Wang.

"Brother Lin... What a handsome name! Well then, let’s head back to my manor," she said, her voice full of joy, her plain face glowing with excitement.

As it turned out, rumors could only be half-believed.
