538: The prince's daughter

That was a young woman.

Dressed in a moon-white skirt, she had a slender waist, and beneath the hem of her skirt were a pair of long, jade-like legs with skin as white as snow.

At first glance, her exquisite face, paired with her tall, perfect Physique, was like unparalleled beauty in the mortal world.

However, if one looked closely, they would notice a layer of gloom in her beautiful eyes.

This cast a melancholic shade over a woman who should have been bright and sunny.

Her appearance caused the surrounding Cultivators to immediately part and make way.

These Cultivators looked at her brazenly, with varied expressions, whispering amongst themselves.

"Long Ke Yun, are you also here to bid?"

The Shopkeeper in charge of the auction smiled as he looked at her.

"Can I see your Master?"

The woman's voice was very gentle, her fair face extremely calm, making her seem so approachable.

"About that, I'll have to ask." The Shopkeeper didn't agree immediately, even though he knew her identity.

"Okay, I'll wait for you." She nodded slightly.

The Shopkeeper then quickly left and walked upstairs.

In the first-floor hall, other Cultivators looked at her with unrestrained eyes.

Even though they knew she was the Princes Mansion's daughter, no one was afraid.

On the third floor, Zhou Luo was meditating and Cultivating in the room.

The Shopkeeper knocked on the door: "Master, Long Ke Yun requests an audience."

"Who?" Zhou Luo felt this name was a bit unfamiliar.

"It's the Ninth Prince's niece, Long Yu's woman, Dragon Keyun..." The Shopkeeper slowly introduced from outside the door.

"Is it him?"

Hearing these words, Zhou Luo couldn't help but think of the little girl he saw when he first came to Golden Cloud Immortal City to bid for those Golden Core Materials.

What he didn't expect was that, with Long Yu being nationally wanted, his daughter Dragon Keyun was actually able to survive.

Afterward, under the Shopkeeper's introduction, Zhou Luo finally learned.

To appease the people, after Dragon Yunting regained power, he did not harm Long Yu's children; instead, he requested the Dragon Emperor to allow them to stay.

In the end, the Dragon Emperor also showed grace, allowing Long Yu's children to remain in the Princes Mansion.

Although they survived, they were still Long Yu's children after all, so their status in the Princes Mansion was not high, and they had no influence.

This is also why those Cultivators on the first floor dared to look at her so brazenly.

After hearing the Shopkeeper's introduction, Zhou Luo thought for a moment and finally chose to meet her.

After all, she was still the Princes Mansion's daughter, and he was also very curious about her purpose.

After the Shopkeeper left, Zhou Luo rose from the platform, tidied his clothes, and sat upright in a large chair.

Shortly after, there was a knock on the door, and Dragon Keyun, led by the Shopkeeper, moved lightly and entered the room.

The nervous Dragon Keyun unconsciously clutched the hem of her clothes with her right hand. When she saw Zhou Luo, her expression first froze.

In just an instant, she was attracted by Zhou Luo's handsome face. A very special feeling spread in her heart, causing her face to flush slightly, and she quickly lowered her head.

Seeing this, Zhou Luo understood.

It seems the Heavenly Passion Gu has taken effect.

Just ten years ago, he successfully refined the Heavenly Passion Gu.

With the help of this Gu, which could significantly improve the host's Physique, enhance their temperament, and increase their attractiveness to the opposite sex, many Female Cultivators couldn't help but show signs of affection when facing Zhou Luo.

This kind of affection was like encountering something beautiful. Although it hadn't reached the point of love, the mere touch was enough to make some people's hearts flutter.

Obviously, Dragon Keyun was one of them.

She now only felt her face getting a bit hot, and her heart rate had also sped up considerably.

"Long Ke Yun, please have a seat."

Zhou Luo's demeanor was natural, and he spoke calmly.

Dragon Keyun bowed slightly in greeting, then sat opposite him, but no longer dared to look him directly in the eye.

Zhou Luo, on the other hand, looked at her with complete composure.

He still remembered the first time he met her.

At that time, she was still a young girl, naturally innocent, lively, and adorable.

He didn't expect that after experiencing such a change, she would now become so composed and peaceful, showing no trace of the Princes Mansion's daughter's airs.

Indeed, hardship is the best catalyst for growth.

"May I know why Long Ke Yun is looking for me?" Zhou Luo asked.

"Zhou Alchemist, I would like to inquire about that Second Order top-tier Refining Master."

At this point, Dragon Keyun had no choice but to shift her gaze, her small face looking seriously at him.

Before coming, she had already found out who the Master behind this shop was.

And because the shop was promoting high-grade Foundation Establishment Magical Artifacts, it made her realize that the other party must have some connection with a Second Order top-tier Refining Master.

After all, as far as she knew, the original Master of this shop was only a Second Order middle-grade Refining Master.

She came today precisely to inquire about that person's whereabouts.

"May I know what Long Ke Yun wants to find him for?"

Zhou Luo naturally wouldn't admit his identity as a Refining Master, so he asked.

Dragon Keyun didn't hide anything and directly extended her fair and tender right hand. With a flash of spiritual light in her palm, a long sword inlaid with seven-colored gems appeared there.

The long sword was entirely silver-white, smooth and sharp, emitting a fierce aura.

But if one looked closely, they would see tiny cracks on the smooth sword body.

These cracks blocked the transmission of power throughout the magical sword, greatly affecting its strength.

"To be honest, Zhou Alchemist, I would like to ask that Senior to repair this treasured sword." Dragon Keyun said frankly.

Zhou Luo looked at the treasured sword and saw the problem at a glance.

For him, repairing this treasured sword was not a difficult matter.

The key is, what could he get in return?

If it was just simple compensation, the current Zhou Luo would not be satisfied.

He pondered, then suddenly asked: "Long Ke Yun, as far as I know, there should also be other Second Order top-tier Refining Masters in this Immortal City, right?"

The damage to this treasured sword was not too severe; any Second Order top-tier Refining Master could repair it, so he was suddenly curious why she would seek him out.

Dragon Keyun pursed her lips and shook her head: "They are all unable to repair it."

"Unable to repair?" Zhou Luo raised an eyebrow, seeing a hint of helplessness in her expression.

It seems there's another reason behind the matter.

"Could Long Ke Yun please explain clearly? After all, I am responsible for my friend." Zhou Luo continued to ask.

Dragon Keyun knew that if she didn't explain, the other party would definitely not agree.

In order to be able to repair this treasured sword, she then told him the whole story.

It turned out that this treasured sword was given to her by her Mother before her death.

And her Mother died on the road while fleeing with Long Yu.

She wanted to repair this treasured sword, also as a way to commemorate her Mother.

But this matter was found out by one of Dragon Yunting's sons, so he used his identity to force those Second Order top-tier Refining Masters not to repair it for her.

Dragon Keyun was also unable to leave Golden Cloud Immortal City, and coupled with the fact that she was the daughter of a fugitive, she simply couldn't contend with him.

Now that she finally learned that there might be a Second Order top-tier Refining Master in Zhou Luo's shop, she naturally didn't want to miss the opportunity, so she took the initiative to come seeking him out.
