Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme-Chapter 1479 - 1425: Entering

"To be able to defeat a Star Lake Level Early Stage cultivator with a Galaxy Level Middle cultivation requires more than just luck. Young brother, there is no need to be modest," Meng Chongshan shook his head and said slowly.

Seeing the other person speak thus, Lin Mo remained silent. The opponent's strength was two realms higher than his own, making it easy to see through the subtleties. Relying on luck to kill an enemy of a higher realm is not something luck alone can accomplish.

"Father, I still want to show Mr. Lin and Senior Sister Liu around. Don't interrogate them; they're not criminals," Meng Ziling tugged on the middle-aged man's arm, gently swaying it, her voice carrying a hint of playful reproach.

"Alright, alright, go show your friends around. I have auction matters to attend to as well," Meng Chongshan looked at her, eyes filled with a deep affection, and said with a smile.

"Mr. Lin, Senior Sister Liu, let's continue to stroll around. I'll take you to the guest rooms for some rest," Meng Ziling said happily.

Lin Mo and Liu Yiyi nodded slightly towards Meng Chongshan, then followed Meng Ziling as she led the way to other courtyards within the manor.

"Second Master."

As the three departed, a man standing beside Meng Chongshan, as sharp as a sword blade, slightly bowed and spoke softly.

"Have someone monitor them. As long as they mean no harm to Ziling, it's fine. Also, prepare some gifts for them. Our Meng Family doesn't like to be indebted to others," the gentleness in Meng Chongshan's eyes disappeared instantly, replaced by the imposing aura of one long accustomed to high status.

"Yes, Second Master."

...

Following Meng Ziling's lead, Lin Mo and Liu Yiyi arrived at another charmingly scenic small courtyard.

"Mr. Lin, Senior Sister Liu, if you're not offended, you can stay at my place. After all, the auction will last for half a month. This is the guest annex; if you don't like it, I can show you other places," Meng Ziling halted her steps, smilingly looking at them as she spoke.

"The auction lasts for half a month? I heard your father mention managing the auction just now," Lin Mo directly asked.

Meng Ziling replied, "The auction venue is large, but there are many items and participants involved. It's impossible to complete everything in just a day or two. This auction will last at least half a month, and the items auctioned will become increasingly valuable. Even obtaining a ticket is extremely difficult."

This was something Lin Mo did not know, as Gu Sa hadn't informed him of the detailed auction process. If he couldn't get auction tickets, wouldn't it be a wasted trip?

"Our Meng Family, along with the Duanmu Family and the Great Yan City Chamber of Commerce, manage the auction process together. I'll take care of Mr. Lin and Senior Sister Liu's tickets for each auction; I can take you in every time," Meng Ziling said with a cheerful smile.

"Mr. Lin, it seems we've hit the jackpot this time," Liu Yiyi rarely joked, since obtaining a ticket to such a grand auction requires considerable resources and connections.

Lin Mo smiled, "That is indeed fortunate, saving us a lot of trouble. I just wonder what items will be auctioned each day and whether there will be anything I need."

Attending the auction every day just to watch would indeed be a waste of time.

"Mr. Lin, I'll ask my father to give me a list of the items to be auctioned. Only the families and commerce running the auction have it, though the most precious final items aren't listed," Meng Ziling suddenly suggested.

"That would be great, saving us a lot of time," Lin Mo's face lit up with joy, "Thanks in advance, Miss Ziling."

"There's no need for such formality with me, and besides, you saved my life. This is nothing," Meng Ziling grinned broadly, patting her chest in a carefree manner, her youthful face making it hard not to laugh.

"Mr. Lin, Senior Sister Liu, find a room to rest in the courtyard for now. I'll visit my mother and bring the auction list later," Meng Ziling said and then took her leave, walking in another direction.

Watching Meng Ziling's departing figure, Liu Yiyi smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Lin, could this be an unexpected stroke of luck? Saving the second Miss of the Meng Family sure saved us a lot of trouble."

"Not sure if it's good luck or bad luck," Lin Mo said something that Liu Yiyi didn't quite understand.

While they talked, a middle-aged man, dressed in brocade, quickly approached them from the front.

This middle-aged man they had seen earlier, a guard beside Meng Chongshan, possessing Star Sea Level Early Stage strength.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a token of appreciation from the Second Master. Please kindly accept it," the middle-aged man said, tossing two Space Rings toward Lin Mo and Liu Yiyi. "It's in gratitude for saving the life of the second young miss."

Lin Mo reached out and caught the swiftly flying Space Rings, and as his Divine Thought swept through them, he discovered they contained five thousand soul coins.

Liu Yiyi's face also showed a hint of surprise.

Although Lin Mo had obtained tens of thousands of soul coins in the Netherworld, five thousand soul coins were already a significant amount for a normal cultivator.

For a protector like Ge Chuan, having one or two thousand soul coins was already considered a decent fortune.

"Rest well in the Meng Family's estate, and if there is anything you need help with, just say the word," the middle-aged guard glanced at them before turning to leave again.

"The Meng Family is truly generous," Liu Yiyi squeezed the Space Ring, the corners of her gentle lips curling into a smile. "Typical of a great family, not wanting to be indebted to anyone."

Lin Mo chuckled as he stored the Space Ring, understanding from the start that Meng Chongshan sending soul coins was a message: don't expect to curry favor with the Meng Family.

In comparison, Liu Yiyi's family was an elephant compared to an ant beside the Meng Family. The Meng family, large and well-established, with a top expert holding the position of Supreme Elder in the Mystic Realm Sect, stood among the top five families in the entire Canglan Star Domain.

Such proud families wouldn't look favorably on Lin Mo just because he saved Meng Ziling. Offering soul coins was merely a form of compensation and transaction.

"Senior Sister Liu, I'll go find a room to rest now," Lin Mo said, entering one of the empty houses in the courtyard, which were all unoccupied.

"Okay," Liu Yiyi nodded, then gracefully walked into another empty room.

In the room, Lin Mo rested for about an hour before quietly leaving. He stowed the Xuanyuan Sword and Zhuo Lingxuan back into the Space Ring, for walking the streets with the Xuanyuan Sword on his back was somewhat conspicuous.

Leaving the Meng Family's manor, Lin Mo stepped onto a bustling street, with another matter to attend to: 'dispose of' the items he no longer needed.
