Chapter 413 Liu Lan's Admonition!
"Elder Liu, this Junior has a matter that is unclear and would like to ask for some guidance."
Jiang Yun's voice was calm, as if it were just a casual question.
Upon hearing this, Elder Liu Lan paused slightly and turned her head to look at Jiang Yun.
Her water-blue hair swayed gently with her movement.
She glanced at Jiang Yun, the corners of her mouth curling slightly, as if she had long anticipated that Jiang Yun would ask this.
"What does Grand Tutor Dongxuan wish to ask?"
Her voice was faint, revealing neither joy nor anger.
Jiang Yun did not beat around the bush and asked directly, "I wonder what exactly the Liu Family invited this Junior to appraise this time? Is it a treasure? An item? Or an unravelling of a Formation?"
He asked very directly, his tone carrying just the right amount of curiosity.
It would not make anyone feel offended.
Upon hearing this, Elder Liu Lan did not answer immediately.
She was silent for a moment, her gaze directed toward the towering Lingyun Pavilion in the distance.
A trace of complex emotion flashed in her eyes.
A moment later, she spoke slowly.
"Grand Tutor Dongxuan."
Her voice was a few degrees deeper than before.
It carried a touch of solemnity that Jiang Yun had never seen in her before.
"This Elder can only tell you that the object you are to appraise tomorrow... concerns the future of the Liu Family."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun's heart was suddenly shaken.
It concerns the future of the Liu Family?
What kind of object could concern the rise and fall of a Hidden Family?
Is it some kind of Legacy treasure?
Is it some secret treasure related to the Liu Family's Luck?
Or...
Countless speculations flashed through Jiang Yun's mind, but his expression remained calm.
He did not show any abnormality.
Elder Liu Lan turned her head, her gaze falling on Jiang Yun with a hint of seriousness.
"Regarding the specifics, it is not convenient for this Elder to say more. Grand Tutor Dongxuan need not ask further. Tomorrow, you will naturally know everything."
She paused, her tone becoming a bit more grave.
"However, this Elder must remind the Grand Tutor of one thing."
"When you appraise tomorrow, the Grand Tutor had best bring out all of your skills. Otherwise..."
Her gaze narrowed slightly.
"I fear there will be some people who will use this to target the Grand Tutor."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun's brows suddenly furrowed.
Bring out all of my skills?
Otherwise I will be targeted?
What does this mean?
He subconsciously pursued, "What does Elder Liu mean by this? Why would anyone target this Junior? This Junior has no grievances with the Liu Family, and this time I came upon the invitation of the Liu Family. Could it be that within the Liu Family..."
Before he could finish speaking.
Elder Liu Lan raised her hand, interrupting his questioning.
"Enough."
Elder Liu Lan's voice returned to its previous indifference.
Yet, her tone carried a hint of unquestionable meaning.
"This Elder has said all that can be said. Grand Tutor Dongxuan is a smart man; you should understand this Elder's meaning."
She turned around, no longer looking at Jiang Yun.
"The Grand Tutor should rest early and conserve energy. Tomorrow morning, this Elder will come to fetch you."
After speaking, she paused and added another sentence.
"By the way, there is one more thing."
"While the Grand Tutor is in the Liu Family, it is best not to walk around everywhere."
Her gaze swept across the Liu Family space outside the courtyard wall, filled with pavilions.
Her voice carried a faint warning.
"My Liu Family has been hidden from the world for many years, and very few outsiders have entered this space. The disciples of the Liu Family... likely do not have much goodwill toward outsiders. If the Grand Tutor walks around at will, it is inevitable that you will encounter some unnecessary trouble."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun nodded slightly.
"Elder Liu, rest assured, this Junior understands."
He was not the type of person to look for trouble.
The Liu Family is a Hidden Family, and it is perfectly normal for the disciples within to have a rejection of outsiders.
Previously, when flying in the sky.
The gazes and discussions of the Liu Family members below had already explained the issue well enough.
He would not seek his own humiliation by running around in someone else's territory.
"That is good."
Elder Liu Lan nodded.
"Then this Elder will take my leave."
After speaking.
She nodded slightly to Jiang Yun, as a gesture of farewell.
Immediately, a water-blue light bloomed beneath her feet, and her figure, like a light feather, floated up and flew toward the direction of Lingyun Pavilion.
In the blink of an eye.
That water-blue figure disappeared into the horizon.
Jiang Yun watched Elder Liu Lan leave.
His brows were still slightly furrowed.
"Concerns the future of the Liu Family... bring out all skills... will be targeted..."
He repeatedly chewed over Elder Liu Lan's words from just now in his heart.
The more he thought, the more he felt something was wrong.
Elder Liu Lan's words were clearly implying something.
Within the Liu Family, it likely wasn't an iron-clad unity.
This appraisal was definitely not just a simple transaction.
Jiang Yun wondered if he wouldn't be dragged into an internal struggle of the Liu Family?
"It seems tomorrow's appraisal will not be peaceful."
Jiang Yun thought to himself.
Just at this moment.
Fox Immortal's voice sounded from the side.
"Jiang Yun."
Her voice was cold and clear.
Jiang Yun turned his head to look and saw that Fox Immortal had already walked into the courtyard, currently examining the surrounding environment.
Her eyes were glowing with a faint five-colored light.
That was the sign of the power of the Five Elements Origin Law at work.
A moment later, she withdrew her gaze and spoke faintly.
"This place is very safe."
Her voice had no extra fluctuations.
"Around this guest courtyard, there is a defensive Formation set up. Although the grade is not too high, it is enough to resist the attacks of a Falling Star Rank beast. Moreover, the core of the Formation is connected to the protective Grand Formation of the Liu Family space. Once someone forcibly breaks the Formation, the entire Liu Family space will sense it."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun nodded slightly.
Fox Immortal's Realm was higher than his.
Her sensory ability was naturally extremely strong.
Plus, she had undergone Fusion with the Five Elements Origin Law, so her sensing of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was far beyond that of ordinary people.
Since she said it was safe, then it was truly safe.
Fox Immortal raised her head again.
She felt the Spiritual Qi permeating the surrounding air.
A moment later.
A look of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.
"The Spiritual Qi in this Liu Family space is several times denser than in the outside world. Cultivating here is twice the result with half the effort for beasts."
She turned her head to look at the few guest rooms in the courtyard.
Her gaze fell on a south-facing room.
"This Empress will continue to absorb the remaining spiritual power of the nine-leaf purple lingzhi. If there is nothing important, do not disturb this Empress."
After speaking.
She strode toward that room.
Her white clothes were like snow, her steps light, and five-colored halos of light faintly flowed around her body.
She pushed open the door and walked in.
Then, the door was closed.
No extra pleasantries, no extra expressions, crisp and neat.
Jiang Yun looked at the tightly closed door, sighed, and shook his head.
He had long been accustomed to Fox Immortal's cold and aloof attitude.
However, compared to her initial threats and indifference.
Fox Immortal's attitude toward him now seemed to be much better.
He withdrew his gaze and glanced at the direction in which Elder Liu Lan had left.
He looked at Fox Immortal's tightly closed door again and muttered to himself.
"Elder Liu Lan is unwilling to disclose, and Fox Immortal has also gone into seclusion. It seems I can only wait until tomorrow to know what exactly the Liu Family wants me to appraise."
He shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
Since he was here, he would be at peace with it.
Since Elder Liu Lan said he would know tomorrow, then he would wait until tomorrow.
As for Elder Liu Lan's warning that someone would target him...
The corners of Jiang Yun's mouth under the mask curled up slightly.
Revealing a cold smile.
Want to target him?
Then come and try.
He, Jiang Yun, was never a soft persimmon that could be easily manipulated.
If the people of the Liu Family really dared to target him, he would not be polite either.
After all, he had the backing of the Appraisers Guild.
From what the Liu Family head had said just now, it could be seen.
The Liu Family would still give the Appraisers Guild some face.
He withdrew his thoughts.
He strode toward another east-facing room in the courtyard.
He pushed open the door, walked in, and casually closed the door.
The room was not big, but it was furnished very elegantly.
In the center of the room was a wide bed, with soft bedding spread on it.
The whole room was simple yet elegant, with a touch of exquisiteness in its plainness.
Jiang Yun scanned it and nodded with satisfaction.
This Liu Family truly did not treat him badly in terms of hospitality.
However, he had no intention of resting now.
Previously, he had plundered the treasuries of the four major forces in Black Rock City and obtained a large amount of Heaven And Earth Treasure and spirit crystals.
Most of them were distributed to Blood Lady and Iron Mountain Liu for the construction and talent cultivation of Black Rock City.
But the most essential parts, he kept for his own beasts.
Now that more than a day had passed, he did not know how Little Fire, Little Skylark, and Nether Abyss were doing with their Cultivation.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yun sat cross-legged on the bed and closed his eyes.
His Divine Sense sank into the Beast Taming Space.
