At this point, her gaze shifted to Jiang Yuan as she quietly observed the expression on his face and continued, “What do you think, Young Master Jiang?”

Jiang Yuan said, “This is a major affair for the Treasure Pavilion, and I have no place to comment. Everything will depend on Pavilion Master Lin’s wishes!”

Having said this, Jiang Yuan once again spoke, “Since the matter here is resolved, I must also prepare to return home!”

“Would the young master not stay a little longer, allowing me to hospitality?” Pavilion Master Lin hurriedly tried to retain him.

Jiang Yuan said, “No need, I have other matters to attend to and cannot stay long!”

“Then, let me see you off, Young Master!” Seeing this, Pavilion Master Lin did not insist further.

…

A moment later,

When Pavilion Master Lin returned after seeing off Jiang Yuan, key personnel were all in the room quietly awaiting her return.

“Pavilion Master, is there an Immortal Soldier within that ring?” The Deputy Pavilion Master, who had come with her, immediately asked the question that everyone there was most concerned about.

Seeing this, Pavilion Master Lin smiled slightly, “Take a look for yourselves!”

With a wave of her hand, the storage ring belonging to Jiang Yuan instantly appeared before everyone.

“This… there really is an Immortal Soldier!!!”

“Hiss! Among Jiang Yuan’s spoils of war, there actually exists an Immortal Soldier!!!”

“No wonder Pavilion Master Lin said those words just now!”

“This is great! With Jiang Yuan’s spoils of war, our Treasure Pavilion will definitely surpass the reputation of Treasure Pavilion, and from now on, Treasure Pavilion could only be second best!”

“…”

Their divine senses brushed over it, and they all began to speak with shock on their faces.

Then excitement flashed across their faces.

Because, as long as the auction proceeded smoothly, the Treasure Pavilion, with the help of this grand auction that could be recorded in the history books, would surely surpass Treasure Pavilion.

Pavilion Master Lin saw this and couldn’t help smiling slightly, “But there’s more. You’ve only seen the Immortal Soldier, but no one knows that the most important among them is that long sword.”

As she spoke, she pointed her finger, and the phantom of the Immortal Venerable’s Sword instantly appeared inside the room, before everyone’s eyes.

Although this was just a phantom she simulated, as the phantom of the Immortal Monarch’s Sword appeared, the entire room was enveloped in sword light, and the terrifying aura permeated the whole room.

“Isn’t this just an Immortal Sword?” the Deputy Pavilion Master who had arrived with her asked.

Pavilion Master Lin immediately shook her head slightly, “You weren’t present at that battle that day and don’t know; this isn’t an ordinary Immortal Soldier, but the Immortal Monarch’s Sword, an Immortal Sword imbued with Time Power!”

Immortal Venerable?

Upon hearing these two words, several people present trembled slightly, showing horror on their faces.

Seeing this, Pavilion Master Lin smiled, waved her hand, and the phantom of the Immortal Sword dispersed.

“In any case, with these spoils of war entrusted to us by Jiang Yuan, my Treasure Pavilion will truly surpass Treasure Pavilion!”

As her words fell, Pavilion Master Lin’s gaze landed on Manager Cui who was standing nearby.

Manager Cui wouldn’t normally qualify to stand here, but because she had consistently been responsible for liaising with Jiang Yuan, she remained here.

At this moment, Manager Cui’s heart filled with excitement when she saw Pavilion Master Lin’s gaze turn toward her.

She had also heard the entire conversation between Pavilion Master Lin and Jiang Yuan earlier, and couldn’t help but feel a surge of anticipation.

Pavilion Master Lin spoke, “Cui Wanru contributed tremendously. She is to be promoted to the master of this branch pavilion. No objections, correct?”

“What about me?” A woman’s voice tentatively spoke up.

Looking at the woman who had previously managed this branch pavilion, Pavilion Master Lin couldn’t help but show a moment of hesitation.

As she had said, how should she handle it?

As the master of this branch pavilion, she may not have distinguished herself, but she had worked hard, and the development of this branch pavilion had always been decent. Being in contact with Jiang Yuan as the former master of this pavilion, naturally, she had also contributed.

Pavilion Master Lin hesitated for a moment.

This brief pause felt incredibly long for the former Pavilion Master of this place.

Because the words Pavilion Master Lin was about to speak would be tantamount to her judgment.

“You’ll follow me for now! I’ll have a new arrangement for you later!” Pavilion Master Lin spoke slowly.

She then added, “Don’t worry, you’ll definitely not be treated unfairly.”

Hearing these words, the former master of the branch pavilion finally breathed a long sigh of relief in her heart.

“Thank you, Pavilion Master!”

She spoke respectfully.

…

Lin’an County.

After leaving the Treasure Pavilion, Jiang Yuan brought Shu Xiaoxiao with him for a nostalgic visit to his old haunts.

Arriving above Lin’an County, Jiang Yuan glanced downwards and immediately saw Old Ma, lying in the courtyard soaking up the sun.

“`

Jiang Yuan couldn’t help but grin, “It seems Uncle Ma is living quite the comfortable life!”

Seeing the relaxed expression on Jiang Yuan’s face, Shu Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but smile slightly as well.

“Young Master, shall we go down?”

“No need,” Jiang Yuan shook his head, “Uncle Ma is in good health now, so let’s not disturb his life. After I’ve completely resolved everything, I’ll come back.”

As his voice fell, Jiang Yuan turned his gaze towards Shu Xiaoxiao.

“Let’s go. Take me to the village where you used to live!”

Upon hearing this, a complex expression appeared in Shu Xiaoxiao’s eyes.

She nodded slightly, “Alright! Follow me, Young Master!”

A moment later.

Jiang Yuan and Shu Xiaoxiao landed at the entrance of a village nestled against the mountains and by the water.

To the left of the village, a river neither too large nor too small flowed gently by.

“Young Master, this is the village where Xiaoxiao was born, Shu Family Village.”

Looking at the picturesque village ahead, Jiang Yuan said slowly, “It’s a nice place, with clear mountains and beautiful waters.”

Shu Xiaoxiao, however, didn’t speak. Gazing ahead at the village, a complex expression involuntarily emerged in her eyes.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan kept silent at her side, not wishing to disturb her.

After more than a dozen breaths.

Suddenly.

Crackling—

From inside the village, the sound of firecrackers could be heard.

Startled by the noise that broke the peace, Shu Xiaoxiao suddenly came back to her senses.

“Strange! It’s not a special day today, why would there be firecrackers?”

In the next moment, the sound of gongs and drums followed.

“From the sound of it, it seems like there’s a wedding!” Jiang Yuan commented.

Hearing the words ‘wedding’, a hint of special interest flickered in Shu Xiaoxiao’s eyes.

“Young Master, let’s go in and take a look!”

“Then let’s go in!” said Jiang Yuan.

…

The two of them entered Shu Family Village and as they walked further in, the sounds of the gongs and drums and firecrackers became clearer to the ear.

“Strangers from another village, what brings you to our Shu Family Village?”

A hoarse elderly voice reached their ears.

Jiang Yuan turned his head and saw an elder with a full head of silver hair walking out from a slowly opening wooden gate.

“Greetings, Uncle!”

Jiang Yuan bowed slightly in greeting.

“You young man, you are quite polite!” the elder said with a kindly smile, as he half-shut the wooden gate behind him.

He didn’t lock it and approached Jiang Yuan.

“Strangers from another village, you have yet to tell me why you’ve come to Shu Family Village,” the elder spoke.

Jiang Yuan replied, “I was traveling with my maidservant for leisure and suddenly heard the sounds of firecrackers and gongs and drums, so out of curiosity, we came in to have a look.”

Upon hearing this, the elder nodded slowly, “I see!”

Jiang Yuan asked, “May I ask the elder to enlighten me as to the reason for the firecracker and gong and drum sounds here?”

The elder replied kindly, “Ah, it’s because there’s a wedding in the village today. I was just about to go to the feast! Would you two like to join me for a free meal?”

“That… wouldn’t be appropriate,” Jiang Yuan said.

The elder chuckled, “There’s nothing inappropriate about it! Now that Dazhuang’s house has successors, and they certainly don’t lack food.”

Shu Xiaoxiao suddenly stiffened.

Jiang Yuan glanced at her and addressed the elder once more, “Then I shall respectfully comply with your invitation!”

“Come with me! I like the cut of your jib, young man. I can’t stand those who fuss with needless formalities!” the elder said.

Jiang Yuan nodded and, along with Shu Xiaoxiao, followed the elder.

“Young Master, my father is Shu Dazhuang!”

Shu Xiaoxiao spoke softly from behind Jiang Yuan.

“I just figured that out,” replied Jiang Yuan, “good timing beats early planning. Let’s go have a look. It’s likely your brother who is getting married today!”

“Mhm!” Shu Xiaoxiao responded.
