Chapter 465: Chapter 181: The Power of Top-Tier True Arts

...

Nanming Street.

The Lee Mansion.

"Hello, could you please inform them inside that a friend with the surname Lin is looking for someone?"

Lin Zheyu arrived at the Lee Mansion in passing and took out Lee Mengxi’s token to hand over.

Last time he left the Martial Dao Exchange, he deposited the elixirs with Lee Mengxi, asking them to auction them off.

He couldn’t use so many elixirs himself, leaving only 10 Strengthening Elixirs and 200 Spirit Elixirs for future use.

"Yes, please wait a moment."

The servant outside the Lee Mansion said respectfully.

Before long, Lee Wensi’s voice came from inside.

"Mr. Lin, you’ve arrived. Please come in."

"Meng Xi isn’t here today, so Mengqi and I will be welcoming you." Lee Wensi said cheerfully.

Upon seeing Lin Zheyu again, she seemed quite happy.

Lin Zheyu nodded and entered the Lee Mansion.

He was quite familiar with the two ladies, and although Lee Mengqi appeared very cold, with Lee Wensi’s talkative presence, the atmosphere was still pleasant.

"Has that Lee Shuqin been targeting you recently?" Lin Zheyu asked.

Lee Mengqi and Lee Mengxi had a hard time in the Lee Mansion due to lacking senior support while occupying family resources, facing exclusion in many areas.

"Yes, that wicked woman."

"But it’s okay; with Uncle Six and the others helping, that wicked woman Lee Shuqin doesn’t dare to act rashly." Lee Wensi nodded, a look of anger appearing on her face.

Due to that woman’s interference, Lee Yanming even betrayed directly, nearly disrupting Lee Mengqi’s state of mind.

"If there’s anything I can help with within my capabilities, feel free to let me know quietly."

"Meng Xi and Mengqi are too shy to speak up; you don’t have to worry so much." Lin Zheyu said with a smile.

"No way, Meng Xi is not shy at all; that guy has a very thick skin, utterly shameless." Lee Wensi retorted.

While chatting, they arrived at Lee Mengqi’s courtyard.

Upon hearing of Lin Zheyu’s arrival, Lee Mengqi had already instructed the servants to prepare food and drink, sitting quietly in the courtyard waiting for him.

Her beautiful face, cold demeanor, bathed in the moonlight, appeared otherworldly and ethereal, like a fairy ignoring worldly affairs.

"Please sit, Mr. Lin."

Lee Mengqi spoke softly, her voice crisp with a hint of ethereal quality.

"It’s been a few days, and Miss Mengqi seems even more captivatingly cold." Lin Zheyu complimented with a smile, "Visiting at night, pardon my intrusion."

"You’re too kind, Mr. Lin."

"Meng Xi has recently started dealing with family matters; he’s not been around these days, so I hope you won’t mind me hosting tonight." Lee Mengqi smiled.

Since cultivating the True Intent of Ice, deeply affected by the true intent’s influence, she rarely smiled, and her laughter appeared quite unnatural now.

After chatting casually about recent affairs, Lee Mengqi requested the silver notes from a servant.

"Sir, here are the silver taels from the auction."

"The auction total reached 4.3 million silver taels; however, the family will charge a fifteen percent commission, which is the lowest I could negotiate using my family privileges."

"After deducting the commission, there are 3.65 million left."

Lee Mengqi handed the silver notes over and explained.

She belonged to the Lee Mansion, but the Lee Mansion did not belong to her.

Though the entire Lee family was vast, Lee Mengqi was simply one among many direct descendants with some talent.

"Thank you, Miss Mengqi."

Lin Zheyu accepted the silver taels gratefully.

He was already quite satisfied with being able to auction for so much silver.

If other outsiders entrusted the Lee Mansion auction house with auctions, the commission would likely reach an astounding two or three times.

However, the genuine profits of the Lee Mansion don’t take all; conducting auction business here required numerous dealings before obtaining such qualifications.

Most of the commission collected was spent on these dealings.

Lin Zheyu didn’t linger long at the Lee Mansion.

With the night deepening, after reminiscing with Lee Mengqi, he decided to leave.

"Mengqi, what do you think of Mr. Lin?"

"Mr. Lin is quite charming and strong. Now that the Infinite Sect has noticed him, making him a True Disciple, even his background concerns have been resolved."

"You’re so beautiful; if you were with him, it would be truly fitting."

Lee Wensi smiled as she watched Lin Zheyu’s departing figure.

"I’m not interested in that."

"Mr. Lin’s status is not what it once was, and even if I’m willing, my talent and perception aren’t worthy of him." Lee Mengqi replied lightly.

"Oh!"

"Mengqi, you’re not seriously considering not marrying, are you?"

"Even our third aunt from the Lee Mansion, who cultivated the True Intent of Ice, wasn’t as cold as you are!" Lee Wensi exclaimed.

She felt Lee Mengqi was different from others who practiced the True Intent of Ice, being overly cold, exuding an icy chill from inside out.

"Third Aunt has achieved mastery and escaped the true intent’s influence."

"I, however, focus fully on the True Intent of Ice, with a much stronger influence than others."

"But it’s not too concerning; once I advance to Transforming Force, I can begin trying to shake off the true intent’s influence." Lee Mengqi responded quietly.

Her cultivation yields great results, progressing rapidly, yet it also carries considerable risk.

Any mistake could result in losing herself, with mental and spiritual self being assimilated by the true intent, drastically altering her personality.

Lin Zheyu had previously experienced a significant impact from the true intent during his cultivation of Turtle Breath True Intent and Tyrannical True Intent, not to mention Lee Mengqi.

In the War God Sect, many disciples followed the same extreme path as Lee Mengqi.

Engrossed entirely in Mad War True Intent, every one of them was a battle fanatic.

...

Returning to the sect.

The guarding disciple had seen Lin Zheyu earlier today, checked his identity, and then allowed passage.
