Chen Qing listened to Shen Xiuyong's heartfelt lament, his expression calm and unwavering.
'The Wutai Sect's Earth's Milk Eye has been coveted for a long time. Could it be that the recent unrest wasn't baseless!?'
'But was actually a plot!?'
Chen Qing suppressed the thought. "I will remember your teachings, Martial Uncle. There's no use in overthinking it. But speaking of your trip to the Fengle Prefecture auction, I imagine you had quite a haul?"
At the mention of the auction, Shen Xiuyong's spirits lifted. He said excitedly, "Heh! Don't even get me started! The place was on fire! This auction at Fengle Mansion had a ton of good stuff, and the bidding was fierce. Even a few Astral Force masters, who are usually impossible to find, made an appearance. Their auras... you could feel the pressure from a mile away, it was suffocating!"
