58: Mysterious Man

"Ling Di!"

Suddenly, Ling Feng seemed to have thought of something and called out.

"Swish..."

As Ling Feng's words fell, Ling Di's figure instantly appeared before Ling Feng and respectfully responded to him.

"Patriarch."

"How long have I Cultivated? How much time is left until the Flying Cloud Commerce Guild's auction?"

Looking at Ling Di in front of him, he asked in a deep voice.

"Replying to Patriarch, you have Cultivated for about two days. The Flying Cloud Commerce Guild's auction is being held today, and it will start in approximately three hours."

Hearing Ling Feng's question, Ling Di respectfully replied.

"Good, good, I didn't miss the auction. Otherwise, wouldn't this trip have been in vain?"

"If I really missed this annual auction of the Flying Cloud Commerce Guild, it would be too unfair to all my rushing around."

Upon hearing this, Ling Feng couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, thinking to himself.

Afterward, Ling Feng spoke again, giving instructions to Ling Di.

"Ling Di, tell the servant to prepare hot water for me. I'm all sticky, I need to bathe."

"Yes, Patriarch."

A quarter of an hour later, Ling Feng, having bathed and changed, walked out of his room fully dressed and stretched with a big yawn, muttering.

"A bath is just so comfortable."

At this moment, Ling Di quickly came forward and spoke directly.

"Patriarch, time is almost up. The Flying Cloud Commerce Guild's auction is about to begin. Do you think we should go now..."

"Yes, let's go now. We came specifically for this auction, we absolutely cannot miss it."

...Flying Cloud Commerce Guild.

Ling Feng led Ling Di and quickly arrived at the entrance of the Flying Cloud Commerce Guild. At this time, the Flying Cloud Commerce Guild was extremely lively, with an endless stream of people at the main entrance, and people from various major forces constantly entering the Flying Cloud Commerce Guild.

"It seems I underestimated the influence of this auction before."

Subsequently, Ling Feng led Ling Di directly towards the main entrance of the Flying Cloud Commerce Guild. After showing the invitation at the door, he entered the Flying Cloud Commerce Guild's interior.

Suddenly, just as Ling Feng stepped into the Flying Cloud Commerce Guild's interior, his body trembled involuntarily, and his gaze, like lightning, shot directly towards a certain direction upstairs. His entire Aura became incredibly sharp.

Noticing Ling Feng's abnormality, Ling Di also couldn't help but vigilantly scan his surroundings with his eyes.

However, Ling Feng's sharp Aura quickly vanished without a trace, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.

"Patriarch, what just happened? Why did you..."

Seeing Ling Feng's change, Ling Di couldn't help but ask. But his vigilance towards the surroundings remained unchanged.

"Nothing, let's keep going."

However, he couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, this Flying Cloud Commerce Guild is truly terrifying. Even in a branch like this in the Great Chu Dynasty, there is actually a Imperial Martial Realm Early Stage expert presiding over it.

From this, one can see just how powerful the Flying Cloud Commerce Guild's influence truly is.

Soon, after the two had walked a few steps, a maid from the Flying Cloud Commerce Guild came forward and proactively led the way for them.

Before long, Ling Feng and Ling Di, led by the maid, arrived directly at a private room on the third floor.

Ling Feng then casually told Ling Di to find a seat for himself and not to be so reserved.

After speaking, Ling Feng immediately went to a chair in front and sat down, looking at the noisy and constantly discussing hall below. Ling Feng then indifferently closed his eyes to rest.

At the same time.

In a secret room on the top floor of the Flying Cloud Commerce Guild, a middle-aged man in a black robe couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.

"How is this possible? How could he have discovered my presence?"

"I have the strength of a Imperial Martial Realm Early Stage Cultivation. To be able to detect my prying, his Cultivation must at least be King Warrior Realm Late Stage or above. Could it be that his Divine Sense is just extremely keen? Otherwise, an ordinary King Warrior Realm would simply be unable to detect my prying."

This person was precisely the Imperial Martial Realm Early Stage Martial Artist that Ling Feng had just detected. He could only attribute it to Ling Feng's extremely keen Divine Sense and simply couldn't believe that Ling Feng was a genuine King Warrior Realm Late Stage or above Martial Artist, after all, Ling Feng was simply too young.

"No, this matter is of great importance. It's necessary to inform Young Miss in advance as a reminder."

Subsequently, the middle-aged man seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but murmur in a low voice.

He then got up and quickly walked towards a room on the fourth floor.

"Thump thump thump... thump thump..."

The middle-aged man quickly arrived in front of a room on the fourth floor and knocked rhythmically.

"Who is it?"

As the middle-aged man's knocking stopped, a woman's questioning voice came directly from inside the room.

"It's me. Your subordinate has an important matter to report to Young Miss."

Hearing the woman's questioning voice from inside the room, the middle-aged man, being a Imperial Martial Realm, did not show any dissatisfaction, but responded respectfully.

From this, one could see how noble the identity of the person inside the room was.

As the middle-aged man's words fell, the woman's voice from inside the room came out again.

"Come in."

"Creak..."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man pushed open the door and entered the room.

Inside the room, a beautiful woman in white was seen at a desk, looking down at an ancient book. Standing beside her were a woman in green holding a long sword and a gray-robed old man.

The middle-aged man entered the room and immediately bowed respectfully to the woman and the other two.

"Your subordinate greets Young Miss."

"Greetings, Xuan Zi, and Elder Ding!"

"You came to see me in such a hurry, is there something important?"

Seeing this, the beautiful woman in white put down the ancient book in her hand, looked up at the middle-aged man, and asked directly.

"Replying to Young Miss, your subordinate just discovered that Marquis of Peerless Glory, Ling Feng, the Patriarch of the Ling Family in Qingyun Town, who has been causing a stir in the Great Chu Dynasty, actually discovered my prying just now."

Seeing this, the middle-aged man slowly spoke.

"Is there a problem with that? Perhaps he is hiding his Cultivation and is not just a Heaven Martial Realm Martial Artist?"

Upon hearing this, the woman in green holding a long sword spoke first.

"Xuan Zi, the point is not whether he is hiding his Cultivation, but that he is barely under twenty years old! From this, one can see how terrifying his talent is. You must know that those Prodigies in the Commerce Guild headquarters are at most only at the mere Heaven Martial Realm at this age."

"Hmm, I understand this matter. You may go down first."

Upon hearing this, the beautiful woman in white couldn't help but frown slightly. A ripple appeared on her originally calm face, and then she spoke softly to the middle-aged man.

"Yes, Young Miss."

Seeing this, the middle-aged man then respectfully turned and exited the room...
