Chapter 1549 Guidance
?
To this day, anyone who mentioned Jing Rujiu would feel rueful.
That was Jing Rujiu, the legendary Jing Rujiu who could charm all the men in the world when she smiled and soften their hearts when she cried.
Sect Master Lin rarely saw women as beautiful as Jing Rujiu and he still remembered Jing Rujiu's appearance clearly. After figuring out Yu Huang's true identity and relationship with Jing Rujiu, Sect Master Lin looked at Yu Huang's appearance carefully and suddenly realized that she resembled Jing Rujiu a lot.
It wasn't that their facial features were very similar, but their aura and behavior were extremely similar.
At this moment, Sect Master Lin also belatedly remembered that Yu Huang wasn't a native of the Cang Lang Continent and was only an ascendant who had ascended from a small world. Because she was too famous, people only noticed her strength and excellence and neglected her origins.
From the looks of it, her hometown was probably Jing Rujiu's husband's hometown.
What was their hometown called?
It was just a small world, so Sect Master Lin really couldn't remember the name of that small world.
Yu Huang took out the hairpin from the spiritual energy seal. When she took away the hairpin, the spiritual energy seal disappeared.
"Sect Master Lin." Yu Huang turned around and looked at Sect Master Lin. Seeing that Sect Master Lin was daydreaming and didn't hear her call, she narrowed her eyes and secretly activated her mind-reading skill.
Sect Master Lin was only a Grand Master, so Yu Huang's mind-reading skill was effective on him.
Through her mind-reading skill, Yu Huang eavesdropped on Sect Master Lin's inner thoughts. From Sect Master Lin's inner thoughts, Yu Huang accidentally found out that Jing Jiaren was actually the current owner of the Green Sena Auction House. This discovery shocked Yu Huang.
If Jing Jiaren was the owner of the Green Sena Auction House, then their every move in the cabinet couldn't be hidden from Jing Jiaren…
However, thinking of Jing Jiaren's attitude towards Old Madam Jing, Yu Huang heaved a sigh of relief.
From the current situation, Jing Jiaren and Old Madam Jing weren't on the same side. Jing Jiaren loved Yu Huang's mother as much as she did and desperately wanted to find her mother's whereabouts. In a certain sense, Jing Jiaren was on the same side as her.
"Sect Master Lin." Yu Huang called out to Sect Master Lin in a low voice.
Sect Master Lin came back to his senses and hurriedly looked at Yu Huang.
Seeing that Yu Huang had successfully taken away this hairpin, Sect Master Lin smiled awkwardly and said, "I really didn't expect the truth behind this hairpin to be this." As he spoke, Sect Master Lin took out an invitation and flipped to the last page.
On that page, there was a group photo of the cabinet's treasures. This golden hairpin was also in the group photo.
In fact, this photo wasn't made by Jing Jiaren or Sect Master Lin. His mentor had personally given it to him before he retired. The first time Jing Jiaren saw this photo, she noticed this golden hairpin and recognized at a glance that it was the item Jing Rujiu had stored in the cabinet.
After taking over the Green Senna Auction, Jing Jiaren had entered the cabinet several times to find the whereabouts of this golden hairpin. However, the strange thing was that they couldn't find the golden hairpin even after searching the cabinet.
Unexpectedly, Mentor and Jing Rujiu had actually cast an illusion on the golden hairpin and disguised it as an ordinary silver hairpin. Only Yu Huang could personally break through the illusion and reveal the golden hairpin's true form.
In hindsight, the reason his mentor deliberately printed this golden hairpin on the last page of the invitation letter was to lure Yu Huang to the auction and take away what belonged to her mother.
At the thought of this, Sect Master Lin was shocked by Mentor and Jing Rujiu's detailed plan.
Pointing at the golden hairpin on the beginner's handbook, Sect Master Lin told Yu Huang, "I've been in charge of the cabinet for more than ten years. I've always known that there's a mysterious golden hairpin in the cabinet's treasures, but I've never seen its true appearance. I didn't expect this golden hairpin to have an illusion cast on it. It was right under my nose, but I've never discovered it."
After putting away the invitation, Sect Master Lin cupped his fists and congratulated Yu Huang. "Congratulations, Grand Master Yu Huang, for successfully obtaining a golden hairpin from the cabinet."
"Thank you, Sect Master Lin." Yu Huang held the golden hairpin tightly and asked expectantly, "Sect Master Lin, can I know what the owner of the golden hairpin left me now?"
"Of course." Sect Master Lin glanced at Mo Xiao meaningfully.
Mo Xiao understood and retreated two to three meters while pretending that he couldn't bother to eavesdrop. Seeing this, Sect Master Lin walked to Yu Huang's side in small steps and leaned towards Yu Huang as he said to her in a low voice, "Follow your heart's guidance. You will eventually come to me."
Upon hearing this, Yu Huang trembled slightly.
Following her heart's guidance, she would eventually come to her mother.
Jing Rujiu was telling Yu Huang that she was still alive and that she had been waiting for Yu Huang to look for her!
Jing Rujiu was telling her to trust her intuition.
Yu Huang suddenly raised her head and looked at the lit Spiritual Energy Sealing Light Balls in the cabinet. "Follow your inner guidance…" Yu Huang's red lips curled up slightly and she bowed to Sect Master Lin as she held the golden hairpin. "Sect Master Lin, I've disturbed you today. I've already obtained the item, so Godfather and I will go back first. "
Sect Master Lin also said politely, "It's late, so I won't waste your precious time anymore."
"This way, please."
Sect Master Lin personally sent Yu Huang and Mo Xiao to the ground and into the carriage. Only then did he raise his right arm to wipe the sweat off his forehead.
The secret he accidentally found out tonight shocked Sect Master Lin. After confirming that Yu Huang had left, Sect Master Lin felt a chill down his spine.
He wiped the sweat off his forehead. Just as he turned around, he saw a graceful figure standing in front of the dark forest with her arms crossed.
Sect Master Lin was shocked.
"Boss…" Sect Master Lin called out hesitantly. He felt even more uneasy now.
The person walked out of the darkness.
Jing Jiaren's beautiful face was filled with dismay.
However, it was too dark, so Sect Master Lin couldn't see her current expression clearly. However, from Jing Jiaren's even colder aura than usual, she probably wasn't in a good mood. Sect Master Lin didn't know what Jing Jiaren was thinking, but he told her everything he had seen and heard tonight.
"What she successfully took away was a golden hairpin, but that golden hairpin was disguised as an ordinary silver hairpin. Boss, the golden hairpin you've been searching for so many years is actually that ordinary-looking silver hairpin."
When Sect Master Lin said this, he felt uneasy and was afraid that Jing Jiaren would vent her anger on him.
"The design of that golden hairpin is exactly the same as that of the golden hairpin on my head, but the words are different?" Jing Jiaren's tone was so cold that Sect Master Lin's scalp went numb.
Sect Master Lin braced himself and replied in a low voice, "…Yes."
Upon hearing this, Jing Jiaren didn't say anything else.
