Chapter 52 The Martial Arts Competition. An Invitation from the Royal Family!
However, this wait lasted for more than half a day. After all, they were from the royal family’s auction house, and it would not be good for Wu Jin to neglect them. It could be said that he was neither standing nor sitting. He wanted to find out what Uncle Zhang was up to.
However, they were very tight-lipped and insisted that they had to see Lin Mo in person.
When Lin Mo returned to the auction house, Wu Jin was so anxious that his mouth almost burst into flames. “Master, you’re finally back. Otherwise, I’d have sent someone to the Huang clan to look for you.”
“What happened?”
Wu Jin lowered his voice. “Someone from the royal family is here. I don’t know what it is, but they’re very tight-lipped. I didn’t manage to find out anything.”
Lin Mo thought it was something big, so he waved his hand and dismissed the rest of the people. “I’m sorry to have kept Butler Zhang waiting for so long.”
Uncle Zhang did not care about this. His eyes were filled with a faint light. He could see that Lin Mo’s aura was stronger than the last time he saw him. Although it was not obvious, he knew that Lin Mo’s strength had increased recently.
“The owner of the auction house is busy. It’s my fault for not handing over the invitation card in advance.”
The two exchanged a few pleasantries before Lin Mo said, “I wonder what business Butler Zhang has with me.”
As the butler of the royal auction house, he was busy with matters. Lin Mo did not believe that Butler Zhang was here just to chat with him. As expected, Butler Zhang said with a smile, “Actually, there’s nothing much. I just want to invite the owner of the auction house to participate in the martial arts competition organized by the royal family.”
After saying that, he handed over an invitation card. The complicated golden patterns were lined with silver, exuding a noble and imposing aura. There were even spiritual energy fluctuations emitting from it, and it was stamped with the seal of the royal family.
Lin Mo received it. This was an invitation letter from the Imperial City, and the participants were young talents from various places. The royal family also controls Qingyang City. It could be said that the royal family’s auction house was their eyes and ears, and they had a grasp of the situation in various places.
Not only Lin Mo, but the younger generation of the big families had also received the invitation. For example, Du Wan, Wang Qing, Huang Zhiyun, Huang Zhirou, and Miao Yan.
Previously, Lin Mo’s name was not included in the royal family’s invitation. After all, their intelligence network was everywhere. After an investigation, they found out that Lin Mo was merely an abandoned child of the Lin family, so he was not worth paying attention to at all.
However, Lin Mo was like a dark horse, making a name for himself in Qingyang City at lightning speed. When the royal family auction house saw the strength Lin Mo displayed, they immediately reported it to the royal family. Only then did this invitation card appear in front of Lin Mo.
“What do you think, Mr. Lin?”
Lin Mo replied with a smile, “Such a grand event naturally cannot be missed.”
To him, it was undoubtedly a great opportunity. The resources in Qingyang City were also limited. Sooner or later, it would not be able to satisfy his needs. It was better to go to a bigger place to take a look. He believed that there would be many opportunities waiting for him there.
Previously, when he had obtained the Xuanming cauldron, Lin Mo could vaguely feel that he still had a lot of things he did not understand about this cauldron. There was more potential of God Devouring Body that he could tap on. He had to go further to discover the world.
Moreover, if he wanted to maximize the use of the auction return system, he also needed to expand his horizons. The items returned now could no longer satisfy his needs.
After sending Butler Zhang and the others away, Wu Jin came over. “Why are they looking for you? Why are you being so mysterious?”
Lin Mo handed over the invitation letter in his hand. “The royal family has invited me to participate in the martial arts competition.”
Wu Jin’s eyes lit up. He picked up the invitation letter and flipped it over. He said excitedly, “This is great! I heard that only the people from the four great families have received the invitation. It seems that Master is so powerful that even the royal family has noticed it. When the time comes, Master will beat everyone and become the winner.”
Faced with Wu Jin’s flattery, Lin Mo shook his head. He could not relax his expression.
“Don’t think that it’s so simple. Do you think that a martial arts competition is a small-scale competition? Moreover, it’s held by the royal family. When the time comes, all the heroes will gather. There will be crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Who knows what experts will appear?”
After all, it was a competition for the younger generation. Even if the older generation could not participate in it, the elites of the family would. Perhaps the Lin family would attend as well.
At that time, if they saw him alive and well, who knew what they would think?
Thinking of this, the corners of Lin Mo’s mouth curled up into a playful smile. He suddenly looked forward to seeing such a scene.
However, he did not dare to be careless. After all, there were so many experts. Who knew what would happen? It was better to be prepared. “I’ll leave the auction house to you for the next few days. I’m going into closed-door cultivation to prepare for the martial arts competition.”
“Don’t worry, Master. Leave the chores to me. Just focus on your cultivation.”
For some reason, Wu Jin had inexplicable confidence in Lin Mo. It was as if nothing was a problem as long as he was around. He would also be able to get first place in the martial arts competition.
After Lin Mo gave his instructions, he prepared to go into seclusion to cultivate. He planned to first learn the first four moves of the Broken Cloud Sword Manual.
As for the latter, he would wait until there was an opportunity to use the auction return system to complete the manual. This would be more beneficial to his cultivation.
