“Humph, who told someone to keep wanting to see me draw my bow?” Yu Yao huffed, shooting a glare at Bai Feng. Then she turned to Gu Yueqing, her tone tinged with dissatisfaction. “And you! Why didn’t you say anything last night? You just kept fanning the flames.”

“Well, it’s just that you looked so cool when you drew your bow before!” Gu Yueqing replied with a smile. “But I admit, it was my fault. After training, let me treat you all to a meal at Songhe Tower.”

“Sorry, but today they’re both mine,” Yu Yao shook her head. “I’m planning to invite them to visit Yu Linglong later. We can have dinner another day.”

“Is it for the auction in three days?” Gu Yueqing suddenly thought of something. “Then I’ll wish you a successful auction in advance.”

“Thank you for your good wishes.”

…

“What is this…” The old man at the Yu Linglong auction house widened his eyes, pulling out a magnifying glass-like spirit tool to examine closely. “This is actually a rare combination spirit tool! Although each piece barely qualifies as a fifth-grade spirit tool and has serious flaws—some even worse than a fourth-grade top-tier spirit tool—when combined, those flaws will no longer matter.”

He carefully picked up one of the spirit tools, holding it up to his eyes. “These five pieces combined could even unleash the power of a top-tier fifth-grade spirit tool. If sold, they could fetch a sixth-grade spirit tool’s price. Whoever forged this set must be a master!”

He then set the spirit tool down, excitement radiating from him as he turned to the guest whose face was obscured by a straw hat. “Are you really going to auction this set with us?”

“Mm.” The guest nodded, their voice deep and resonant.

“Great! I can waive half of the handling fee for you,” the old man said, stroking his beard with enthusiasm. He then handed a black card to the guest. “The auction starts in three days. If you’re interested, you must come and see.”

“I will.”

The guest nodded, extending a gloved hand to take the black card. The old man’s keen eyes noticed that the gloves were also a spirit tool.

Thinking further, he realized that someone capable of presenting such a precious spirit tool for auction must have a formidable master craftsman backing them.

After the guest left, the old man looked eagerly at the spirit tools on the table—just when the Yu Linglong branch in Xuan Guang City was being obstructed by local bullies and lacked quality auction items, this spirit tool was a timely solution.

He had heard that the young lady of Yu Linglong, the true owner of the Xuan Guang City branch, was coming soon. This was a perfect opportunity for him to earn some merit.

**Chapter 89: Could It Be a New Child of Fortune?**

“This is Yu Linglong, and over there is the auction house. If you want to buy other things, you can go to the next room,” Yu Yao said, standing at the entrance of Yu Linglong, introducing it to Bai Feng and Bai Yumo.

“Let’s go in and sit for a while,” she said, stepping through the auction house’s grand doors. Just as they entered, an old man hurried over.

“Miss, why didn’t you let this old man know you were coming?” Although the old man looked aged, he moved quickly, stopping in front of Yu Yao, panting as he instructed the nearby maidservants, “Hurry and prepare some tea and snacks! Miss, please follow me this way.”

“I came with an elder from the Tianjian Sect, so I didn’t inform my family,” Yu Yao replied casually, following the old man and asking about the auction house.

Soon, they arrived in a guest room, where expensive wooden chairs were cushioned with soft pads, and the table was already filled with various pastries. The air felt richer with spiritual energy as they entered.

“Make yourselves comfortable,” Yu Yao said, casually choosing a chair and grabbing a pastry. “This is a mooncake pastry; it tastes really good.”

Bai Feng also relaxed, sitting down and sampling a piece.

At the same time, he opened the system to take a look and noticed a new marker for a child of fortune on the mini-map, but it wasn’t in the auction house.

‘When did this appear?’

He remembered that it wasn’t there when he woke up this morning, meaning this child of fortune must have arrived today.

Just then, a remark from the old man standing beside Yu Yao caught his attention.

“Miss, someone came this morning to consign a set of combination spirit tools. It’s a very…” He suddenly paused, glancing at the two people who had come with Yu Yao.

“Just say it. They’re my junior brothers and sisters, and my partners,” Yu Yao waved her hand, emphasizing the words “my partners.” “You must have heard of Bai Feng and Bai Yumo from the Bai family.”

“Is he the genius array master who made the disciples of the Feng Ling Sect suffer?”

The old man was momentarily taken aback, looking at Bai Feng with newfound respect.

A genius in array formation like him would undoubtedly have limitless potential; he was someone they could never afford to offend!

He quickly turned to Bai Feng and apologized, “I’m sorry, Young Master Bai. It was my oversight not to recognize you. I sincerely apologize.”

He was about to bow, but Bai Feng quickly raised his hand, using spiritual energy to stop him. “No, no, no, I don’t like that. Just treat me like a regular guest.”

One of the many rules of survival: when faced with a polite and normal person, don’t act like a villain to avoid being taken down by the approaching child of fortune.

“Young Master Bai is magnanimous.”

After praising him a few times, the old man continued reporting to Yu Yao, “Miss, this morning someone brought in a set of combination spirit tools. When fully assembled, they can reach the level of a top-tier fifth-grade spirit tool. This means our upcoming auction should go smoothly.”

‘Hmm? Could it be the child of fortune?’

Bai Feng instantly became alert. Thankfully, he had come with Yu Yao; otherwise, he would have missed this news.

This plot was too classic. He just didn’t know if Senior Sister Yu Yao would meet him.

For his own safety, he could only apologize to Yu Yao—please stick with me for the next few days. As for recruiting talents, let the old man beside you handle that!

Once everything was over, he would compensate her with a few array plates.

“Oh? This is getting interesting.”

Yu Yao nodded. If it weren’t for Bai Feng’s portable array, she might have been excited enough to seek out the child of fortune herself. After all, this person had solved her urgent problem and could casually produce a top-tier fifth-grade spirit tool. Such a person was someone she needed to build a good relationship with.

But now, she had her junior brother Bai Feng and the time to recruit other talents. It would be better to spend this time with Bai Feng, encouraging him to produce more portable arrays.

Yes, it’s decided. I’ll spend more time with my junior brother these days. If he enjoys himself, maybe the next auction will feature a portable array plate.

Of course, the person who provided the spirit tools still needed to be recruited, but she planned to let others handle that.

So she nodded, “Waive 80% of the handling fee for him. The rest, you should know what to do.”

“Yes, Miss.”

The old man was secretly astonished. Faced with such a rare spirit tool and talent, she remained so calm. Truly, she was the young lady of the Yu family.

“By the way, here are two array plates for you. Be careful not to damage them; they are the highlights of our auction this time.”

Yu Yao took out two sturdy wooden boxes, inside which were Bai Feng’s portable array plates (modified versions). She carefully placed them on the table and reminded the old man to handle them with care.

“Yes.”

The old man looked curious. What treasure could be so carefully treated by the young lady? Could it be a seventh-grade inheritance array plate?

Yu Yao didn’t rush to explain. Instead, she took a sip of tea, savoring it before leisurely saying, “Inside is a portable array plate. Just infuse it with spiritual energy to activate it. These two are the Xuan Gui Array and the Gathering Spirit Array, both fifth-grade, but their range is only half that of a normal array.”

The old man looked thoughtful, then hesitantly asked, “Miss, I’m a bit confused.”

“It means that by infusing spiritual energy into the array plate, the array can be formed immediately. The spiritual energy can be your own or, like a normal array, use spirit stones.”

Yu Yao wasn’t impatient; on the contrary, she enjoyed explaining, especially seeing the disbelief on the old man’s face, which brought her joy.

I can’t be the only one shocked.

“Is this… really true, Miss?”

The well-informed old man instantly recognized the value of the portable array plates. He could already envision the auction’s success.

He even thought about postponing the auction; two days was hardly enough time for promotion!
