Yun Guiwang said, "They were all given to Guizong. He's in charge of the auction house, but he usually doesn't go back to Fuchen Mountain unless he has something to do."

Shu Jianyue nodded and said, "First, throw those people out of Fuyun Palace, then send people to clean Fuyun Palace thoroughly, and make them return anything that is missing."

"Also, take this person away for questioning. Find out who sent him and where he sent all the spirit beasts on Fuchen Mountain."

She also needs to go to the auction house in the capital of Fengxian Kingdom to see what's going on there.

"Yes." Yun Guiwang agreed and walked over to Lu Yiyang, then grabbed him and headed towards the old courtyard where Shu Jianyue lived before the Floating Cloud Palace was built.

Shu Jianyue looked at Yu Chuan and said, "You and your sister go to the Hunyuan Immortal Sect. Go there after your parents finish their business."

Yu Chuan shook his head and said, "Mother, we'll go with you."

He also wanted to visit Sun Xiuyun.

The family then teleported to the Cloud Auction House in the capital of Fengxian Kingdom.

Yu Chuan took Yan Xi to find Sun Xiu Yun, while Wu Yan was unwilling to go, so she went to the auction house with Shu Jian Yue.

Yunxiao Auction House remained as bustling as ever.

Shu Jianyue did not go in directly, but sat down in the tavern diagonally opposite the auction house.

As soon as I sat down, a waiter came over with a smile, "Sir, what would you like? Bamboo Spirit Immortal Wine is our shop's signature spirit wine, would you like some?"

Shu Jianyue looked away. "Then let's have a pot."

After the waiter brought back the wine, Shu Jianyue took out a spirit stone, placed it on the table, and asked, "How long have you been here, waiter?"

The waiter's eyes widened when he saw the spirit stone. "It's been quite a few years, probably five or six years."

"Oh, that's been quite a while. Are you familiar with the Cloud Sky Auction House?" Shu Jianyue asked, pushing the spirit stone towards him.

Upon seeing this, the waiter immediately put it away. "I wouldn't say I'm an expert, but I can see what's happening over there from here, and I've heard quite a bit of news."

"Oh, what news?"

The waiter looked around and leaned over to whisper, "This auction house suddenly changed owners a while ago. The new owner is very arrogant. Not only are the prices sky-high, but ordinary people aren't allowed in either."

"I heard that only those at the Foundation Establishment stage or lower can enter, and they also have to pay two spirit stones to get in."

Shu Jianyue then looked at the auction house and asked, "If that's the case, why are there so many people at this auction house?"

Yun Guizong had taken over the auction house long before they left, so he got into trouble.

With his strength as a demigod beast, who could possibly outmaneuver him?

With so many Spirit-Nourishing Pills and Spirit Fruits at his disposal, he should be able to save himself even if he gets caught in a trap.

The waiter said helplessly, "Sigh, what can we do when they have Spirit-Nourishing Pills? Everyone needs pills, and we have to bring them in even if it costs spirit stones."

Shu Jianyue glanced at Chong Jiu and told him to continue asking Xiao Er, while she herself used her spiritual power to browse the Cloud Auction House.

The Yunxiao Auction House these days truly embodies the nouveau riche attitude; they're incredibly wealthy and powerful!

The current manager is a man with a pointed face and a monkey-like appearance. He wears a glittering gold outfit as if he's afraid people won't know he's rich.

Shu Jianyue searched the entire Yunxiao Auction House but couldn't find Yun Guizong. It seemed something had really happened to him.

Withdrawing his spiritual power, he looked at Chong Jiu and said, "Let's go to the Hunyuan Immortal Sect first. We'll come back here after we find the person behind this."

The waiter had already left. Chongjiu nodded, picked up Wuyan, put his arm around her, and left the tavern.

When the waiter came over again, he was astonished to see that they hadn't touched a drop of their fine wine.

They're all rich people!

As Shu Jianyue was about to leave the capital of Fengxian Kingdom, she said, "I haven't called Yu'er and Xixi yet."

Chong Jiu said nonchalantly, "It's alright, they'll go back to Fuchen Mountain on their own once they've had their fun."

The three arrived at the Hunyuan Immortal Sect.

Nothing has changed here; it's the same as always.

The disciples who had met Shu Jianyue immediately bowed upon seeing her return, saying, "Welcome back to the sect, Grandmaster Aunt..."

"Welcome back to the sect, Grandmaster Uncle..."

These sounds spread quickly.

A crowd of people gathered around in a flash.

Shu Jianyue could only smile and nod, "Is your sect leader here?"

"Reporting to Grandmaster Uncle, they are here, currently receiving guests in the main hall. Should I inform them?"

"No need, I'll just go directly there." After saying that, Shu Jianyue pulled Zhong Jiu and rushed towards the main hall.

Some of the new disciples had never seen Shu Jianyue before, so they pulled their senior brothers and sisters aside and asked her about her.

As soon as Shu Jianyue arrived in front of the main hall, Yu Yangzi came out of the hall and his eyes lit up when he saw Shu Jianyue.

"Disciple respectfully welcomes Grandmaster Uncle back to the sect."

"Alright, no need for formalities. Has anything happened in the sect recently?" Shu Jianyue walked past him and headed into the main hall.

Yu Yangzi shook his head. "Nothing happened. However, Venerable Yi from Fuchen Mountain came to guard the inner palace before going to the Eight Desolations. He brought some pills and then left."

"Grandmaster Uncle, what brings you back this time?"

Shu Jianyue saw the guests Yu Yangzi had met, narrowed her eyes slightly, and smiled, "Just came back to visit. Nothing much."

Who is this?

Yu Yangzi quickly introduced, "This is a newly established sect, the Qitian Sect, headed by Wen Qitian."

Shu Jianyue walked directly to the main seat and sat down. After Chong Jiu also sat down, she looked at Wen Qitian.

"Sect Leader Wen is truly a promising young man. To establish a sect at such a young age is truly remarkable! However, why does Sect Leader Wen look so familiar to me?"

Wen Qitian froze for a moment, then laughed and said, "Perhaps Grandmaster Shu caught a glimpse of me somewhere; my face is rather ordinary."

Shu Jianyue raised an eyebrow. "The masses? The term used by Master Wen is quite novel."

Upon hearing this, Chong Jiu glanced at her sideways, thinking to himself, 'Can your words be as fresh as theirs?'

Wen Qitian moved his hand hidden in his sleeve, looked at Yu Yangzi and stood up, saying, "Sect Master Yu, since it is the first time Uncle-Master Shu has returned, you must have a lot to say. Then I will take my leave."

Chao Shu bowed to Yue and left in a hurry.

Shu Jianyue looked at Yu Yangzi and asked, "When did he appear, and when did he establish the Qitian Sect?"

Although Yu Yangzi didn't know why she asked this, based on her attitude when she spoke to Wen Qitian earlier, she assumed that Wen Qitian had offended her in the past.

"Wen Qitian came to the Eastern Continent a year ago and established the Qitian Sect only half a year ago, but the number of disciples in the sect has already reached more than a thousand."

"His cultivation level is not low. With such a sect leader, there will be more disciples joining the sect."

Chongjiu asked, "Yueyue, do you know him?"

Shu Jianyue rested her chin on her hand and laughed, "Don't you guys think he looks familiar?"
