Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 818 - 817 Shangguan Lingyu
"It really is a coincidence that you’ve come to attend the auction as well, it seems this auction is quite attractive, even the Saintess of the Heavenly Spirit Realm’s Immortal Hall has come in person," Xu Ping’an said smilingly via sound transmission.
"Why aren’t you in the Jade Spirit Realm? How come you’re here? I heard that you just snatched someone’s fiancée from the Myriad Demons Sect in the Jade Spirit Realm, and now you’re showing up here," Shangguan Lingyu communicated through sound transmission.
"Oh, you’re quite interested in me, even knowing about these things," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.
In fact, given the Heavenly Spirit Realm’s intelligence-gathering capabilities, knowing these wasn’t really difficult.
However, what surprised Xu Ping’an was that Shangguan Lingyu was so well-informed about his news.
"You made a name for yourself in a battle, killed Qin Yuan, rose to the tenth rank on the genius list, and even won the heart of the Saintess from the Ancient Sect’s Thundercloud Sect. It would be hard even if I wanted to be oblivious," Shangguan Lingyu responded coldly.
Xu Ping’an let out a light laugh and changed the subject, "I am curious to know which treasure you’re here for today, whether you desire it for yourself or if your master Ling Qingyao sent you."
"Are you truly his reincarnation?" Shangguan Lingyu asked, avoiding the question.
"Whose reincarnation?" Xu Ping’an feigned ignorance.
"Don’t play dumb with me, you know very well who I am talking about," Shangguan Lingyu said.
"If I say no, would you believe me?" Xu Ping’an asked with a smile via sound transmission.
"No, if you really are that person’s reincarnation, I still want you to come back to the Heavenly Spirit Realm with me, my master wishes to see you," Shangguan Lingyu said.
Want to see me?
Xu Ping’an sneered inwardly.
What does Ling Qingyao want to see me for, to kill me again?
There’s nothing worth seeing.
"Tell her I will see her, sooner or later, just not now," Xu Ping’an coldly transmitted.
Given the situation had gotten to this point, there was no need to deliberately conceal things.
Ling Qingyao had long been suspicious of the various indications he had shown.
So, denial was meaningless.
Shangguan Lingyu was also greatly shaken.
Really him!
The reincarnation of that person?
If so, then wouldn’t she be Xu Ping’an’s disciple’s disciple?
"Could it be that if I am that person’s reincarnation, you should call me Grandmaster?" Xu Ping’an said with a smile.
"Even if you really are his reincarnation, that was in a past life, and I will not acknowledge you," Shangguan Lingyu responded with a smile.
Xu Ping’an chuckled lightly, "Such an unfilial disciple, if you don’t acknowledge me, why are you still asking me to go back with you?"
"I am simply asking you to go back and have a proper talk with my master. Past grudges are a matter of the past. Some misunderstandings can be cleared up, and besides, it was you who wronged the Immortal Hall. My master wants to give you a chance to reform," Shangguan Lingyu responded.
"Ha ha, reform? Is this what your master told you, that I wronged the Immortal Hall? Ha ha, do you think when I was the Immortal Emperor, I could have done anything to wrong the Immortal Hall?" Xu Ping’an laughed scornfully.
"Is that not the case?" Shangguan Lingyu asked.
"Go back and ask Ling Qingyao, my wife from a past life, and ask her, who betrayed whom back then," Xu Ping’an sneered.
Shangguan Lingyu’s brow furrowed slightly.
Could it have been her master who betrayed Xu Ping’an?
That’s impossible, her master wasn’t such a person.
But Xu Ping’an had no reason to lie. In those days, he indeed had been the Emperor of the Immortal Hall, so how could he have betrayed it?
"I still want you to come back with me, any misunderstandings can be clarified," Shangguan Lingyu said.
"Misunderstandings? There are no misunderstandings, Shangguan Lingyu, you are truly naive. Do you really think if I go back with you, that I will still have a chance to live?" Xu Ping’an said with a light laugh.
"No, the master won’t kill you, after all you are... you are her..." Shangguan Lingyu continued.
"Enough, there’s no need to say more. Unless you can defeat me, I will not go back with you. Shangguan Lingyu, it’s best you don’t get involved in the grudges between me and your master," Xu Ping’an said coldly.
He didn’t want to continue the conversation any further.
Nor was there a need to.
Shangguan Lingyu’s trust in Ling Qingyao was not something he could shatter with a word or two.
So, there was no point in continuing.
Shangguan Lingyu did not speak again, but at this moment, her feelings were complicated.
Xu Ping’an really was the reincarnation of Qingyun Immortal Emperor, the husband of her master.
To such a legendary figure as Qingyun Immortal Emperor, she had always been curious.
But she had not expected that, after five hundred years, Qingyun Immortal Emperor would indeed be reincarnated.
In that case, it seemed only reasonable that she had been defeated by him.
"This auction has several very important items related to the Source Ground of Dao Principle and Reincarnation God Ruins; I’m here to bid for these items under my master’s orders," Shangguan Lingyu transmitted.
"Why tell me this?" Xu Ping’an asked in surprise.
"I want to remind you that the significance of this auction might be even more important than you imagine, especially the last item. The value within it could be tremendously great, so it’s best for you to be careful. Many powerful forces have come this time," Shangguan Lingyu transmitted.
Hearing this, Xu Ping’an surveyed the surroundings.
As Shangguan Lingyu said, the attendees were mostly Immortal Emperor Realm powerhouses.
At this moment, in the entire building, there were no fewer than forty individuals at the Immortal Emperor Realm.
Seeing so many Immortal Emperor Realm powerhouses was a first for Xu Ping’an.
It seemed that Shangguan Lingyu was indeed correct; the significance of this auction might be even more serious than he had imagined.
Perhaps the Qianji Pagoda was only a less important item among those being auctioned.
This could be an advantage for him in bidding for the Qianji Pagoda.
"Thank you for the reminder, my dear disciple’s disciple," Xu Ping’an replied with a smile.
"You... I’m not your disciple’s disciple," Shangguan Lingyu said somewhat indignantly.
"Is that so? Then what about becoming my dao companion? I’m sure if your master knew, her expression would be priceless," Xu Ping’an said teasingly via sound transmission.
"You... shameless," Shangguan Lingyu said angrily.
She ceased sound transmission with Xu Ping’an immediately.

Seeing Shangguan Lingyu ignoring him, Xu Ping’an showed a trace of a smile on his face.
This young lady was still quite innocent.
He was merely teasing her, and she couldn’t take it.
He never intended to use this method as revenge against Ling Qingyao.
He would settle his grievances with Ling Qingyao in person eventually.
At this moment, Shangguan Lingyu was in turmoil, unable to calm down for reasons unknown to her after Xu Ping’an’s words.
It should be known that many saw her as indifferent to affection, seemingly unflappable, yet now she was perturbed by a single statement from Xu Ping’an.
