Chapter 3780: Contending for the Source Stone, Young Master Su Hong of the Su Family

This source stone was placed in an inconspicuous corner on the ninth layer.

It seemed no one had paid attention to it for a long time, even covered with a layer of dust.

However, Sangyu had a special spiritual awareness and sensed that something might be inside.

"Miss Yunxi, that source stone..."

Sangyu secretly sent a voice transmission to Yunxi via divine sense.

Yunxi's beautiful eyes also turned toward that source stone, and then she was slightly startled.

On this ninth layer, the number of source stones is not many, but each one has its own special quality.

Some are entwined with runes, some are surrounded by blood light, some are shrouded in immortal radiance.

But the source stone in that corner appears somewhat "returning to simplicity and truth."

It looks like an ordinary source stone, with nothing particularly special about it.

However, for experienced source masters, the more ordinary it seems, the more likely it is to have something special.

But this source stone has been studied by many source technique masters before, yet none detected any special aura.

So they were uncertain about what exactly might be inside.

Perhaps it contains something of extremely high value, or perhaps it is just some ordinary object.

Not everyone dares to gamble on it.

Compared to gambling on this source stone whose details are unknown.

Others prefer to cut those source stones that inherently possess extraordinary aura.

Thus, over time, this source stone has remained here, gathering dust.

"This source stone..."

Yunxi naturally could not discern anything either.

But she trusts Sangyu's judgment.

Moreover, even if there is nothing valuable inside, given her status, she wouldn't care too much.

"Alright, let's go take a look." Yunxi said.

The two women came to the side of this source stone.

And the onlookers around, seeing this, also showed expressions of doubt.

"Huh, they actually took interest in that source stone?"

"That source stone has been placed here for a long time; even some source technique masters have studied it, but couldn't determine anything."

"Seeing that young lady's treasure appraisal and stone-cutting skills earlier, I feel she is also quite extraordinary—could she really have sensed something?"

Many people cast interested glances.

And here.

Ye Yu's gaze also shifted to that source stone.

At this moment, the voice of the artifact spirit of the Creation Heavenly Gate resonated in his mind.

"Huh, that source stone is somewhat interesting."

"Artifact spirit, what did you see?" Ye Yu asked in his heart.

"There might be something unusual inside, but I cannot yet make a complete judgment." The artifact spirit of the Creation Heavenly Gate said.

Ye Yu's pupils flickered slightly.

Since even the artifact spirit of the Creation Heavenly Gate says it's unusual, it seems there really is something.

He thought for a moment, then said to Yuan Feng.

"Brother Yuan Feng, that source stone might have something."

Yuan Feng looked over, and was also slightly startled.

That source stone is indeed quite ordinary.

But since it's Ye Yu who said so, he naturally has no objection.

But at this moment.

Yunxi and Sangyu have already decided on this source stone, preparing to have the stone-cutter begin cutting.

Yuan Feng, Ye Yu, and others walked over.

"Miss, may we have this source stone?" Yuan Feng said in a light tone.

These two women both have misty vapor swirling around them, clearly unwilling to let others know their identities.

It can be seen that their origins are not simple.

But Yuan Feng is also a person of the Heavenly Court.

No matter how extraordinary their origins, before the Heavenly Court, it's just like this.

Moreover, wherever Yuan Feng goes, who would dare not give him face.

However, facing Yuan Feng, Yunxi didn't even glance at him.

Sangyu then weakly said: "But, this is the one we selected first and decided on."

Yuan Feng said lightly: "How much did you spend? I can compensate you even more."

However, Yunxi still paid no attention, merely gesturing to the stone-cutter that cutting could begin.

But that stone-cutter was somewhat hesitant.

Although these two young ladies appear to have extraordinary origins.

But Yuan Feng is a person of the Heavenly Court.

Even if he is not a high-ranking, powerful figure.

It can be said that even the gatekeeper beast guarding the Heavenly Court's gate holds a status incomparable to others.

So he also didn't dare to act rashly.

Seeing this, Yuan Feng furrowed his brow and turned to look at the steward of Yaoxing Lou nearby.

The steward of Yaoxing Lou was also somewhat embarrassed at this moment.

According to the rules of Yaoxing Lou, naturally, first come, first served.

Since Sangyu and her party had already reserved it first, it should be given to them.

But the problem is Yuan Feng...

It's not that Yuan Feng is so formidable as to be feared.

Rather, it's the Young Master behind him, who is one of the Twenty-Eight Mansions of the Heavenly Court.

You should know that being able to become one of the Twenty-Eight Mansions of the Heavenly Court...

In the future, becoming a high-ranking official in the Nine Great Palaces of the Heavenly Court is almost a certainty.

This is also why the steward of Yaoxing Lou is in a difficult position.

He looked at Yunxi and Sangyu: "Two Young Ladies, would you be willing to yield?"

Sangyu said nothing, while Yunxi faintly furrowed her beautiful brows.

She is also not someone who relies on her status to act unreasonably.

If Yuan Feng and his party had reserved it first, then Yunxi naturally wouldn't insist on taking it.

But now, the unreasonable one is Yuan Feng.

Seeing that Yunxi showed no sign of yielding, the steward of Yaoxing Lou also felt somewhat troubled.

He slightly clasped his hands and said: "Please wait a moment, I will go consult my Young Master."

Not long after, a young man in fine robes arrived at the scene, and he also bore an elegant and graceful demeanor.

This Yaoxing Lou is actually the property of the Su family.

And the Young Master referred to by the steward of Yaoxing Lou is naturally Su Zhengyan's legitimate son, Su Hong, the head of the Su family.

Su Hong arrived at the scene and glanced over.

In fact, when he arrived, the steward had already explained the situation to him.

And in Su Hong's view, this is not really a matter at all.

"Daoist Yuan Feng." Su Hong clasped his hands toward Yuan Feng.

"So it's Master Su, I didn't expect you to come in person." Yuan Feng also returned the salute.

Su Hong smiled faintly: "I already know about this matter."

"This piece of source stone was actually taken off the shelves a long time ago, but it has just been left here without being moved."

"So strictly speaking, this piece of source stone does not count as merchandise."

"But if Daoist Yuan Feng wants it, then why not sell it to you?"

Upon hearing this, many cultivators watching the spectacle on site all showed strange expressions.

Su Hong saying this is definitely intentional.

In their hearts, they actually felt indignant for Yunxi and Sangyu.

But on the surface, they didn't dare to say anything.

"Haha, Master Su is truly courteous." Yuan Feng also smiled.

"After all, my Su family is going to marry into your family later, so we will then be considered one family."

"By then, we will still need to rely heavily on your family." Su Hong said with a smile.

"You're too polite, actually my Young Master also places great importance on this marriage alliance."

"To be frank, the reason I came today to cut stones is also because my Young Master wants to select a gift to give to the Su family's Young Lady." Yuan Feng said.

Upon hearing this conversation, Ye Yu was also slightly stunned.

This so-called marriage alliance, and the Su family's Young Lady.

Could it be referring to Su Jinli?

Ye Yu was also quite surprised.

However, compared to letting Su Jinli be together with that dangerous person, Jun Xiaoyao...

Marrying into other families might perhaps also be a better choice.

And at this moment, a voice as moving as heavenly music sounded, though tinged with indifference.

"So, is this how your Yaoxing Lou treats guests?"

Yunxi finally spoke.

And on Ye Yu's side, Ye Qinqian's eyes flickered slightly with doubt as she looked toward Yunxi.

How could it feel somewhat like...

Su Hong's eyebrows twitched slightly.

Although he is not stupid, he sensed that the identities of these two women are also not small.

But now, it just so happens to be the time to establish a good relationship with that Young Master, so he naturally won't care about the others.

"My words have already been made very clear; if you are unwilling, you can go elsewhere to cut stones."

"Or are you looking to start a conflict with the Heavenly Court?"

Su Hong also couldn't be bothered to say more, directly invoking the Heavenly Court, hoping to make them know difficulty and retreat.

"Is that so? The Heavenly Court indeed has great prestige."

The immortal mist on Yunxi's body dissipated, instantly revealing that beautiful face capable of toppling nations.

Upon seeing this, everyone present was completely stunned!
