Jing Jiaren’s analysis was objective and rational.

As a mother, Zhang Zhanyi didn’t feel good when she heard these words from Jing Jiaren.

She would rather her daughter be unreasonable and take the opportunity to throw a tantrum.

Whn Zhang Zhanyi saw her daughter’s pale face, she lowered her head in discomfort and lamented, “You’re so considerate of the Jing family.” However, the Jing family only treated her as a tool and a signboard. If this signboard was glamorous, she would be a high and mighty young master. If the signboard was stained, she would be abandoned.

The ten days of ice lake torture had hardened Zhang Zhanyi. She resented Old Madam Jing for being heartless, but she also resented Jing Ruge and herself for being weak and useless. They watched helplessly as their daughter was punished. As her parents, they were helpless. Zhang Zhanyi actually had the vicious desire that Old Madam Jing would die early.

Even though the old lady was the most powerful one in the Jing family, and if the old lady died, the Jing family’s status in the Divination Continent would be affected, she still hoped that the old lady would die early.

Of course, Zhang Zhanyi naturally wouldn’t reveal such sinister thoughts in front of Jing Jiaren.

After all, the old lady was Jing Jiaren’s grandmother and her family.

After Zhang Zhanyi got up and pulled up Jing Jiaren’s pillow, she helped Jing Jiaren up and sat against the head of the bed. Then, she picked up the medicine bowl and handed it to Jing Jiaren. “Jiaren, drink today’s nourishing medicine first.” Jing Jiaren took the medicine bowl and drank it in one gulp.

Seeing that her daughter had drunk the medicine obediently, Zhang Zhanyi was relieved, but her heart ached.

Zhang Zhanyi said to Jing Jiaren, “When the Jing family is really in your hands, you will definitely be able to reach further heights than now. Compared to your grandmother and father, you have the demeanor of the head of the Jing family.” After Zhang Zhanyi took the empty bowl and placed it on the bedside table, she wiped Jing Jiaren’s mouth gently and smiled proudly. “Jiaren, you are my greatest pride.”

Jing Jiaren smiled too.

Zhang Zhanyi chatted with Jing Jiaren for a while longer before leaving. After she left, Honghong walked to Jing Jiaren’s bed. Then, it laid beside the bed and placed its head on it. Jing Jiaren stroked its red sideburns every now and then. Listening to Honghong’s rhythmic snoring, Jing Jiaren gradually fell asleep.

In her half-asleep state, Jing Jiaren HAD a dream. In the dream, an ethereal male voice pressed against her ear and asked her over and over again, “Why don’t you dare to see the Soul Suppressing Beast?”

Jing Jiaren suddenly opened her eyes.

She suddenly woke up and woke Honghong up.

Honghong stuck out its tongue and licked the back of Jing Jiaren’s hand.

There was a mountain range at the back of the Jing family’s mountain. The ice lake was surrounded by seven steep mountains.

The back mountain was a forbidden area of the Jing family. Only the Patriarch and the old lady could enter freely. The person in charge of the ice lake lived in the back mountain and couldn’t come out unless there was some special circumstance. The demon beast forest at the back mountain was also guarded by the Jing family’s beast tamer, who lived in the back mountain like the ice lake enforcer.

The daily necessities were also directly sent in through spatial teleportation. If the clansmen needed the Monster Cores and fur of any demon beast, the beast tamer would also send them out through spatial teleportation.

Therefore, although Jing Jiaren was almost 40 years old, she had never entered the Demonic Beast Forest.

“Honghong.”

As Jing Jiaren stared at Honghong’s red eyes, she suddenly said, “Have you been to the Demonic Beast Forest behind the ice lake?”

Honghong shook its head vigorously.

“You’re just an ordinary little demon beast and the demon beast forest at the back of the mountain is filled with powerful demon beasts, so how can you dare to see them?” Shaking her head, Jing Jiaren held onto the edge of the bed and got off the bed. Then, she walked barefoot to the balcony outside the bedroom and looked at the Divination Star Tower. Sure enough, she realized that the meteorite that had been floating in the sky above the city for half a year had already disappeared.

Yu Huang.

After Jing Jiaren pondered for a few seconds, she suddenly asked, “When will the next auction be held?”

As soon as her voice fell, the void beside her suddenly distorted. Immediately after, an old woman’s figure appeared beside her out of thin air. The woman glanced at Jing Jiaren and said, “At night three days later.”

Upon hearing this, Jing Jiaren said, “Get ready. I want to participate in the Green Senna Auction in three days.”

The old woman looked worried as she said, “Young Master, you haven’t fully recovered…”

“There’s no need to say anything else.” Jing Jiaren refused to listen to the old lady’s advice and looked in the direction of the Divination Star Tower as she said, “I have a feeling that Yu Huang’s motive for going to the Green Senna Auction isn’t that simple.” There were just a few rare medicinal herbs that weren’t worth her attention.

Back then, as soon as she arrived at the Divination Continent, she was in a hurry to obtain the invitation to the Green Senna Auction House. Clearly, something in the Green Sena Auction House was very important to her, and that thing wasn’t an ordinary auction item, but a special item stored in the Green Sena Auction House.

Otherwise, Yu Huang would have thought of a way to come to the Divination Continent to participate in the auction long ago. Why would she have endured it until now?

Yu Huang wasn’t anxious at all and was certain that that thing wouldn’t be taken away in advance. Jing Jiaren said to the old lady beside her, “Madam Qiang, please help me find an invitation to the Green Sena Auction House. I want to see what she wants so much.”

Auntie Qiang didn’t know what Jing Jiaren was up to, but as Jing Jiaren’s personal guard, she had always agreed to Jing Jiaren’s arrangements. “Wait a moment. I’ll get you one now.”

At noon, Auntie Qiang came with an invitation.

“Young Master, I’ve brought the invitation letter. If you’re sure you want to participate in the Green Senna Auction in three days, I’ll make preparations in advance.”

After thinking for a while, Jing Jiaren said, “Send someone to secretly monitor Yu Huang and see if she will participate in the auction in three days. If she goes, I’ll go too.”

Auntie Qiang looked at Jing Jiaren in surprise and said, “Okay.”

After Auntie Qiang left, Jing Jiaren opened the invitation letter and flipped through it. She searched from the first to the last page, but didn’t find anything worthy of Yu Huang’s attention.

Could it be that her intuition was wrong?

Just like Yu Huang, Jing Jiaren, who was also a powerful prophet, trusted her intuition very much. Her intuition was rarely wrong, besides how she had mistaken Yu Huang for her aunt’s daughter back then.

Unable to discover anything special from the invitation, Jing Jiaren closed the invitation and placed it aside. Then, she closed her eyes to rest.

The next evening, without summoning, Auntie Qiang took the initiative to appear in Jing Jiaren’s room and brought her a piece of news. “Young Master, a spy has reported that the most famous fashion stylists in the capital were invited by Prime Emperor Mo Xiao to the Mo Residence. After asking around, we discovered that they were all going to style Prime Emperor Mo Xiao’s adopted daughter, Yu Huang, for tomorrow’s auction.”

“It can basically be confirmed that Yu Huang will attend the auction tomorrow night.”
