Bai Rouyun was seated in the classroom and sighed as she looked out the window.

It had been a few days since Li Moyun had left Canglan City to handle the threat that Xiao Long had brought upon them, and she could not help but worry about him.

She knew that he was strong and that there were certain limitations on the prison continent, but that did not mean that she was able to calm her restless heart.

Dongfang Yu was seated on her side, while Mo Chu, somehow, had managed to become a student of the institute and was sitting behind her.

Many were looking at her with mixed emotions. Some looked at her with envy and jealousy, while others looked at her with inquiry and doubt.

Not many believed in her personal strength. Most felt that she was nothing more than a beautiful face who had enchanted the Eternal Shadow Lord, and that he would grow tired of her soon, but no one dared to mention it.

Bai Rouyun was not bothered by their thoughts. She knew that she was unable to do anything that could change their opinion on her as things were now, but when she managed to get her hands on a horn that came from a beast with a Qilin bloodline, then she would show them just how strong she was.

The class slowly came to an end, and many had already left the classroom.

"Little Chu, have you found any leads on the Qilin Horn?"

Although Bai Rouyun was aware of the answer, she could not help but ask anyway. She was hopeful, but did not know what exactly she could do to advance. Even the Gravity Tower was starting to have no effect on her body.

After considering her situation, Bai Rouyun rose to her feet and went for the Thousand Treasure Pavilion branch that was in Canglan City.

She had not been too eager to do this in the past, but knowing that things were turning rather critical, it seemed that she had to leave some loose ends, but even if she was unwilling, she still had to do this.

Dongfang Yu and Mo Chu did not ask her what was happening. Instead, they just followed her to the store. As they arrived, an assistant came to greet them.

"I am looking for the manager."

Bai Rouyun felt that the fewer who knew of this transaction, the better it would be. Hence she directly asked for the manager.

The assistant was somewhat stumped by her words. One has to know that the manager was a very important figure. Even if someone wanted to meet him, it was not certain he wanted to meet them.

"Who may I say it is?" Although the assistant was feeling uncertain, he felt that he needed at least to inform the manager of this guest's request, so he politely asked for a name.

"Bai Rouyun."

This time, Bai Rouyun did not hide her identity. She knew that these people would realize who she was anyway, so it was better to just be upright from the very beginning.

The assistant could not help but frown upon hearing the name. It seemed somewhat familiar, but he could not remember where he had heard it before.

Even so, he still treated the young woman very respectfully, and then went to inform the manager of the woman's request.

"What did you say her name was?!" The shock within the voice of the manager was overwhelming, and the waiter could not help but feel confused. Was it such a big deal?

"She introduced herself as Bai Rouyun."

The assistant was straightforward and a reasonable man. He did not think too much about useless things but focused solely on his career and family. He knew he would never become a peerless genius cultivator, so he accepted what life gave him.

The manager did not move right away after hearing the words of the assistant. Strange emotions flashed past his eyes as he considered how to handle the woman who was waiting for him in the hall of their store.

The assistant might not have remembered the name, but the manager knew that this little woman was the heart of the Eternal Shadow Lord.

He had no ulterior motives towards her, nor did he want to use her as a means to deal with the Eternal Shadow Lord, but he was genuinely worried that he would cause an unprofitable disaster.

After sighing for the umpteenth time, the manager finally rose from his seat and slowly walked downstairs.

He did not need to look around, as his eyes instantly were drawn to a group of three experts. One was simply like a fairy, while the other two were also very handsome. Even so, the manager could tell that the Eternal Shadow Lord was not present today.

Even so, he dared not show the slightest amount of impoliteness, and a smile appeared on his face as he confidently walked towards the group. Only he himself knew how nervous he really was.

"Miss, it is our honor to have you at our store; how can I help you?"

The manager humbled himself, but he was also aware that the Thousand Treasure Pavilion was a part of the Shitian Tower, so he was not in need to be too humble. Had it not been for the excellent relationship between the Eternal Shadow Palace and the Young Master of the Shitian Tower, this manager would also not have been so humble.

"Manager, it is our honor to be here today. I was wondering if you have a private room to discuss a business deal?" Bai Rouyun frowned as she spoke. She did want to make this deal, but she was not willing to let others other than her, the manager, Dongfang Yu, and Mo Chu know of the content of their discussion.
