Jun Lan was given a huge shock when she heard the people inform her than Sima You Yue had come to find her. The auction was already over, why had she come here to look for her instead of going back to appreciate the things that she had successfully bidded for?

However, she was just surprised. She still went to look for Sima You Yue.

“You Yue, why have you come to find me?” Jun Lan asked when she saw how anxious Sima You Yue was.

Sima You Yue saw that Jun Lan had entered, and did not beat around the bush either. She asked, “Do you know who the last person who had the divine powder was?”

“You’re interested in that item?” Jun Lan looked at her puzzledly.

Sima You Yue nodded, then looked at Jun Lan, saying with sincerity, “Please do tell me, this item is extremely important to me.”

“That person is a friend of my great-granduncle.” Jun Lan said, “However, I’ve never met that person.”

“You haven’t either?” Sima You Yue was incredibly surprised. Didn’t she saw that she and Jun Tian were the people in charge of the entire auction? She had actually never met such a prestigious guest?

She knew what Sima You Yue was thinking, and said helplessly, “Although the divine powder was already decided upon before the auction, I have never ever seen the item. The reason that item was placed into the list was because of my great-granduncle’s wishes. That item is also one that my great-granduncle brought back before the auction.”

Her great-granduncle was Jun Cang.

Sima You Yue pondered for a moment, then raised her head and asked, “Jun Lan, will you be able to help give me a referral? I want to meet that owner.”

“That item is really that important to you?” Jun Lan was rather hesitant to turn her away when she saw how anxious Sima You Yue was.

“It concerns the life of a family member.” Sima You Yue said.

“Then I will try. But I can’t guarantee that I will succeed.” Jun Lan said, “I’ve heard my great-granduncle say before that the person’s condition isn’t too good, so he may not agree to meet you. However, I will do my best to speak on your behalf.”

Sima You Yue bowed to Jun Lan, saying, “I owe you a debt of grat.i.tude. If you ever need me, I will never hide from you.”

“Why are you speaking this way.” Jun Lan glared at Sima You Yue, “I have yet to thank you for saving my life! Wait here for me first, I’ll have a talk with my great-granduncle.”

“I’ll have to trouble you.” Sima You Yue said.

Jun Lan left the hall and waited behind anxiously for Sima You Yue.

She knew that many people would leave here immediately after the auction ended in order to avoid becoming the target of others. As a result, she dared not a.s.sume that the owner of the divine powder would not have left immediately as well. If the owner had already left, then it might be too difficult for her to find him.

After waiting for half a day, Jun Lan finally returned. She looked at Sima You Yue and said, “The owner has agreed to meet you. However, you are the only one the owner will meet. n.o.body else.”

Sima You Yue glanced at Wu Lingyu and the others, saying, “I will go alone. Senior, Big Bro Qin, Shameless Third, you guys can head back first.”

Wu Lingyu looked at her rather worriedly. n.o.body knew who the owner was. Who knew what would happen to her if he let her go alone.

However, he was already well acquainted with Sima YoU Yue’s personality. Once she had decided on it, nine bulls wouldn’t be able to drag her away.

“We’ll wait here for you.” Third Mo was worried as well.

“My great-granduncle has already said that the person is not in the Xuan Yuan pavilion. As such, You Yue will not be returning here anyway. It’s better for you guys to wait at home.” Jun Lan said, “You Yue, let’s go.”

Sima You Yue nodded her head at them, then followed Jun Lan and left.

They didn’t walk out, and went to the back courtyard of the Xuan Yuan pavilion instead. They used a teleportation array to send them out of the city.

By the time she opened her eyes, Sima You Yue was already in a secluded and unique little courtyard. The huge courtyard was actually completely silent, appearing cold and cheerless.

Even before she had recovered from her giddiness, Jun Lan appeared inside the courtyard at some point.

“This is the person who saved your life?” Jun Can asked while appraising Sima You Yue.

“Yes, great-granduncle.” Jun Lan nodded.

“This junior greets Pavilion Master Jun.” Sima You Yue bowed to Jun Cang.

“I’ve already spoken to her. She will give you a few minutes.” Jun Can said, “Come with me.”

After speaking, he turned around and Sima You Yue rushed to catch up. Jun Lan remained where she was and waited for them.

n.o.body was allowed to enter that courtyard without permission. Jun Lan remembered this rule!

Sima You Yue followed after Jun Cang. She could feel a heavy aura flowing from his body, as if he had something weighing on his mind.

“She doesn’t like it when there are too many people. I will not go with you, you can head inside.” Jun Cang said.

Sima You Yue was rather curious what kind of ident.i.ty this person had. Why did it feel as if Jun Cang was that person’s subordinate?

However, seeing how Jun Lan behaved, the person didn’t seem to be from the Xuan Yuan pavilion.

“Uncle Cang said that someone wanted to see me. It should be you, right? Cough cough… cough cough…”

Sima You Yue heard a sweet sounding voice as she entered the courtyard. However, the person had yet to finish her sentence before she started coughing.

Sick?

Sima You Yue forgot how long it had been since she had met a sick person. It seemed as if cultivators never fell sick. They only got wounded.

She walked past the flowers in the courtyard and saw a chair belonging to a senior concubine in the pavilion. On it sat a beautiful lady. That lady had an abnormal blush on her face. It seemed as if her earlier coughs had caused the blood to rush to her face, tinting it red.

After coughing for quite a while, that lady finally raised her head. She was rather curious when she saw the gaze with which Sima You Yue looked at her. Then, she smiled gently, “Why has a lady like yourself come to find me?”

Sima You Yue was shocked. Her gaze turned rather wary as she looked at her.

She had clearly worn the ring, how could this lady tell that she was female at a single glance?

That lady did not say anything about Sima You Yue’s ring. She said pleasantly, “Don’t be afraid. I mean you no harm. In any case, you still want to meet me. Have you come for the divine powder?”

Sima You Yue looked at the lady and kept having a feeling like the aura on her body was not ordinary. At the very least, she had never met a person like her before even in her past life.

“You’re ill.” She didn’t reveal her motive, and said rather enigmatically.

The lady tidied up her pure white clothes. There were even some wisps of blood on it that seemed to come from her earlier coughing fit. When she heard what Sima You Yue said, she was stunned for a moment before saying with a smile, “Yes, I am sick. Beyond cure.”

“I’ve never heard of a cultivator falling sick before.” Sima You Yue said with puzzlement

“You’ve now seen one.” The lady responded, “If you have come here for the divine powder today, then you may return. Apart from the Divine Scar, I will not exchange it for anything.”

“You want the divine scar in order to treat your illness, right?” Sima You Yue asked.

“That’s right.”

“But you should know that the divine scar is merely a rumor recorded upon ancient books. n.o.body has seen it. The item just doesn’t exist.”

There was a flash of disappointment in the lady’s eyes. Although it was fleeting, Sima You Yue had caught it.
