Chapter 557 Murong......_1

Soon, upon that yellow paper, there appeared a mysterious and unfathomable pattern that was beyond comprehension.

Yin Tian carefully folded the yellow paper, and even took off a red string from his own wrist to tightly bind the paper.

"Keep this on you at all times, and it should temporarily protect you for a while, but you still need to collect the materials I’ve written down as soon as possible," he said.

When he took the small paper package from Yin Tian’s hand, Bai Zizai seriously put it away.

The moment Bai Zizai stowed the small paper package, he felt his body lighten, the oppressive feeling that had troubled him for a whole half month and made him extremely uncomfortable had vanished without a trace!

This made Bai Zizai even more convinced of Yin Tian’s words.

"Alright, once I’ve collected the materials you need, I’ll find you," Bai Zizai said to Yin Tian with utter seriousness, then let out a wry laugh.

He had originally wanted to help alleviate Yin Tian’s troubles, but in turn, it was Yin Tian who had helped him greatly.

Yin Tian gave Bai Zizai a gentle smile, then turned to look at Doctor Hua and Yuan Weisheng, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll be on my way."

"Where are you staying now? Otherwise, come stay at my place. I have some status in Central City," Bai Zizai said softly to Yin Tian.

Yin Tian, however, shook his head, "No need, I am currently staying in the Sikong Family’s original house."

Bai Zizai was startled.

He did not grasp what Yin Tian’s words truly implied.

Yin Tian did not explain anything and simply walked towards the elevator.

Yin Tian got into his car and drove straight back to Yin Mansion.

Su Qinwei and the other girls were enjoying the moon in the courtyard, while Zhen Songwen, to avoid any impropriety, did not leave his room.

"Such elegant enjoyment," Yin Tian said with a smile as he approached.

Seeing Yin Tian returning, Su Qinwei and the other girls immediately rushed over to show him their oddly shaped mooncakes.

The corners of Yin Tian’s mouth twitched.

What are these bizarre creatures?

"By the way," Chen Yu seemed to remember something and hurriedly walked to the back yard.

She soon returned with an invitation, which she handed to Yin Tian.

"What’s this?" Yin Tian asked, puzzled, as he took the invitation from Chen Yu.

"It was delivered by someone after you left; I don’t know what it’s for," Chen Yu explained.

Yin Tian opened the invitation and glanced at its contents.

"Wanbaozhai?" Yin Tian raised an eyebrow. The invitation was for an auction, "Is Wanbaozhai in Central City?"

"Yes..." a voice came from the back yard.

Yin Tian looked up to see Zhen Songwen approaching, pale-faced.

"Wanbaozhai is an auction house run jointly by several top families in Central City..." Zhen Songwen came closer and said softly, "There’s an auction every month, and although there are items sold ordinarily, the ones sold during the auctions are generally of good quality..."

"Then why did they send me an invitation?"

"Your Yin Family is after all a top-tier family, how could you not receive an invitation?"

Zhen Songwen continued to explain, "Not just you, at that time, all the top-tier families in Central City will receive an invitation, as for the second-rate families and below, if they want to participate in the auction, they’ll need to spend a considerable sum of money to get in."

Yin Tian nodded, not particularly concerned about the auction.

He casually placed the invitation along with the envelope on the table. However, something fell out from it.

It was a booklet.

A thin one.

"And what is this?"

Yin Tian picked up the booklet and flipped through it nonchalantly.

It listed all the items at the upcoming auction. Browsing through it without much interest, he stopped abruptly when he came across a handheld jade.

Su Qinwei and the other girls all looked at Yin Tian with curiosity, not understanding his reaction.

Yin Tian’s arms trembled slightly.

In his mind, the image of an exquisitely made little girl surfaced.

"Murong..." Yin Tian muttered.

When he was five or six years old, it was a time when the leakage of his Vital Energy was at its worst, each day was pain-filled.

Back then, it was a girl named Murong who had always stayed by his side.

"Does it hurt a lot, little Tian Tian?"

"If it hurts, you can bite me; I’ll be in pain with you!"

"It’s okay, you bite hard; I’m not afraid of the pain, and you shouldn’t be afraid anymore..."

The childlike voice still echoed in his ears.

Yin Tian felt as if he could see a tearful little girl in front of his eyes, stubbornly comforting him even though she was almost crying from pain herself.

Murong was his first playmate as far back as he could remember.

But later, Murong’s family came to find her and took her away from Luohuan Mountain.

Before she left, Yin Tian gave the handheld jade to Murong.

But now...

...this handheld jade had appeared among the items at the auction!
