The Magician of Cultivation

Li Yu smiled and said, "We have been friends for a long time."

He paused and said solemnly, "A true friend."

The corners of Yun Yi's mouth slightly raised, outlining a happy smile.

The Gu brothers looked at this one, then looked at that one, and they all sighed, "As the saying goes, heroes appreciate each other. I'm afraid only a genius mage like Li Yu is qualified to be the young master's friend."

Room 309, rd floor.

The airship's captain, Cai Liangyu, and deputy captain, Jiang Jinlin, were standing respectfully behind a pretty figure, not even daring to breathe.

"Divide into four teams?"

The pretty figure turned around and it was the girl named Ling'er on the third floor of the auction house.

"Yes, Lord Zhao."

Cai Liangyu bowed and replied respectfully.

"Li Mu."

"Miss."

"Follow Captain Cai and explore this secret place together."

The woman called Lady Zhao was only fifteen or sixteen years old. However, despite her young age, her face was extremely majestic, and it was obvious that she had the aura of someone who had been in a high position for a long time.

In addition to Li Mu, there was an old man standing next to her. He was none other than Jiang Yanjiang, the top martial artist from the Liaocheng Auction House.

"Yes." Li Mu nodded in response.

"Thank you, sir." Cai Liangyu showed surprise on his face.

He turned to look at the magician named Li Mu, clasped his fists and said with a smile, "Thank you for your help, Brother Li."

Li Mu was about forty years old, wearing a green gown with three gold leaves tattooed on the chest, which was the symbol of a third-level intermediate magician.

"Yeah." Li Mu responded lightly.

Cai Liangyu and Jiang Jinlin did not stay in Room 309 for too long and they left soon.

"Boss, who was that person just now?"

It was not until they returned to Room 305 where Cai Liangyu was that Jiang Jinlin could not help but ask.

The aura of that adult just now was really too strong.

Even though she was just a little girl of fifteen or sixteen, he felt inferior in front of her and didn't even dare to look up at her eyes.

It was as if the little girl could see through his heart at a glance.

"The mysterious president of Liaocheng Auction House." Cai Liangyu said softly.

"So it was her... No wonder she was so powerful." Jiang Jinlin suddenly realized.

A year ago, a new president came to Liaocheng Auction House. It was said that he was a direct descendant of a big family in Huoyan Kingdom who came here to gain experience.

This matter was widely circulated at the time. The "Will" airship flew on the Liaocheng route, so naturally it had heard about this.

They were all very curious about the bank president, but they never had the chance to meet him.

"Before we set off, Marshal Wu Guizhi personally ordered us not to offend that person and to follow her instructions in everything."

"Marshal Wu Guizhi?" Jiang Jinlin was so shocked that he couldn't speak. "What is her background that even the Marshal was alarmed?"

Cai Liangyu glanced at him and sighed, "Brother, this airship is ostensibly managed by us, but from the moment she got on board, the management rights were transferred to her."

"Even the weapon system of the airship has been controlled by them. We can't afford to offend such a big shot, so you better be careful."

"Yes, boss, I understand." Jiang Jinlin nodded in response like a chicken pecking at rice.

Airships are directly managed by the government and are considered strategic resources, and are affiliated with the military's transportation department.

The escort team on the airship is under militarized management, and the captain and deputy captain are both from the military and hold military positions.

However, Jiang Jinlin and Cai Liangyu had known each other for many years, and they did not address each other so formally in private.

"Old Jiang, your group should not participate in the exploration of the secret realm this time."

"Boss, I..." Jiang Jinlin's face changed.

"That lady's safety is the most important thing. Your team will stay and protect her."

"But I don't know what dangers there are in this secret realm. With so few manpower, I'm afraid there will be accidents." Jiang Jinlin said anxiously.

Cai Liangyu frowned and sighed, "It's settled. Organize people as soon as possible to repair the magic circle on the airship."

"Exploring the secret realm is not our main mission. The most urgent task is to find a way to leave the secret realm as soon as possible and report the matter to the higher-ups."

"Okay...okay." Jiang Jinlin had no choice but to agree.

..........................

In room 309, Li Mu and Jiang Yan had already left.

There was a beautiful middle-aged woman with long legs in the room. She was the great martial artist Zhou Sanmei.

"Zhao Linger, why did you call me here, little girl?"

Zhou Sanmei lay sideways opposite the woman and asked in a soft and weak voice.

Zhao Linger couldn't help but frown, not hiding her dislike for the beautiful woman in front of her.

However, the other party is a great martial artist with a relatively high status in the family. She is also a close confidant of his father, so he can't do anything to her.

"Zhou Sanmei, do you remember the person I asked you to protect before we set out? This time, I hope you can follow him to explore the secret realm."

"Ah."

Zhou Sanmei nodded, "However, this is not within my scope. Tell me about your bargaining chips."

Xu Ling'er didn't say much. There was a flash of light in her hand, and a pair of gloves shining with milky white light appeared on the long table in front of her.

"Mu Ling's gauntlets?"

Zhou Sanmei screamed in shock and jumped up from her chair, "Are you crazy? What's your relationship with that guy?"

Then she seemed to understand something and started giggling.

"Oh... I see. Are you in love, little girl?"

"It's up to you whether to do it or not, but don't talk nonsense." Zhao Linger said in a cold tone.

"Why not? I'll take this mission."

Zhou Sanmei grabbed the Mu Ling hand guard on the table and said with a smile, "If your father knew that you gave me the family's Mu Ling hand guard for a kid, he would probably be furious."

Zhao Linger still had no expression on her face. "Mu Ling's gauntlet was given to me as a reward by the family, so it belongs to me. My father has no right to interfere."

Zhou Sanmei smiled and shook her head, "Don't come back crying, just ask me to take you back."

"Hmph!" Zhao Linger snorted and looked at Zhou Sanmei. "Since you have accepted this mission, you must ensure his safety before reaching Xijing City. No matter what kind of enemy you encounter, you must not abandon him."

"Hey, little girl." Zhou Sanmei was a little dissatisfied, "You can doubt my chastity, but please don't doubt my professional ethics."

Zhou Sanmei hates it most when others question her abilities.

Before joining the Zhao family, she worked as a security guard, and protecting her employer's safety was her specialty.

"Don't worry, unless I die, no one can hurt that kid in front of me."

"I hope your ability can match your big words."

"Humph!"
