Chapter 537: 484 Do you call this a normal person?! [1 more]_2 Chapter 537: 484 Do you call this a normal person?! [1 more]_2 What puzzled An Roujin was that Lin Shao’s ancient martial talent was rather mediocre, especially compared to Lin Qingjia.

If he hadn’t been a direct lineage family member, his poor ancient martial talent would have seen him sent to a branch family long ago.

But according to genetics, this didn’t make sense.

Lin Jinyun had become the Lin Family Head because his ancient martial talent was the strongest of his generation.

How could the son she had with Lin Jinyun have a lower ancient martial talent than the one born with Wen Fengmian?

Yet when she later returned to Qingshui County for a look, Wen Fengmian indeed had no ancient martial talent either.

Truly strange.

Nevertheless, An Roujin was relieved that Lin Shao hadn’t ended up like the young master of the Ling Family who took his mother’s surname–Jiang Ran–who at birth had uncontrollable inner strength and nearly lost his life.

“It does make sense,” Ji Tianhao’s wariness in his eyes slightly faded, “Thank you, Madam, for the insight. I know what to do now.”

“My health isn’t good, so I won’t stay long,” An Roujin coughed twice, “Your Uncle Lin is about to arrive, I should go back and keep him company.”

Ji Tianhao bowed again, “Madam, take care.”

An Roujin then covered half of her face with a handkerchief, resembling an ancient sick beauty, as she slowly walked away.

A hint of a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth.

She no longer needed Wen Fengmian now that she had a better husband.

If Wen Fengmian insisted on appearing, there was nothing she could do.

The auction was officially scheduled to start at seven.

But when six-thirty came around, personnel from the Judicial Hall had not yet arrived.

This was not uncommon and suggested that preparations were not yet complete.

Three-quarters of the people on the first floor had arrived, and the private rooms were also full.

The auction had also prepared exquisite food for the guests, including a dish called Phoenix Fish.

Phoenix Fish had no relation to phoenixes; it was named so because its tail resembled that of a bird.

Ancient martial artists could gain a slight increase in their cultivation after eating it, but they couldn’t consume too much, as it could cause overheating.

Phoenix Fish was exclusive to the Ancient Martial World, and the Judicial Hall had even opened several large reservoirs specifically for breeding them.

No ancient martial arts family was as extravagant as the Judicial Hall.

Ying Zijin slightly parted the curtains and looked down, “It seems the auction will be delayed.”

After pondering for a moment, she stood up, “Dad, stay here. I’ll be back in a bit.”

Wen Fengmian nodded, “Go ahead, be careful, and don’t worry about dad.”

With Ying Zijin’s help, he had practiced the most basic ancient martial arts.

Ying Zijin had also enhanced his ancient martial cultivation to that of ten years by unblocking his acupoints. He was more than capable of protecting himself now.

He wouldn’t ask why Ying Zijin suddenly knew so much.

The world is so vast, and it holds countless wonders.

He understood his daughter.

Ying Zijin entered the private room’s en-suite restroom and began her face-changing process.

At times, she did indeed enjoy the Ancient Martial World, as it gave her a sense of being transported back to several hundred years ago.

No cameras, no high-tech surveillance–it made her movements much more convenient.

Ten minutes later, she left the Auction House and headed to the meeting place she had agreed upon with Fu Yunshen.

Yun Shan and Yun Wu were also present.

All three were wearing masks.

The masks were black, outlined with intricate dark gold patterns, ancient and elegant.

Fu Yunshen leaned against the wall, his posture relaxed and casual.

Upon seeing her, he straightened up and gestured for her to come over, his eyes curving into a smile, “Yaoyao, come here.”

Ying Zijin raised an eyebrow slightly, “I’ve disguised myself like this, and you still recognize me?”

She had not only changed her face but also her body shape.

Even Wen Fengmian hadn’t recognized her.

“How could I not recognize the person I like?” Fu Yunshen took a mask from Yun Shan and bent down, gently pinching her face, “Even if you were a baby, I would recognize you.”

Ying Zijin glanced at him, “You shouldn’t have that chance anymore.”

Fu Yunshen’s eyebrows lifted slightly as he began to put the mask on her.

A second before the mask was in place, his eyelashes quivered, he tilted his head, and planted a kiss on her lips.

Although it was a light touch, it was tender and the sensation was strong.

Caught off guard by the sudden kiss, Ying Zijin slowly looked up.

“Sorry,” Fu Yunshen touched her head and held her tight, feeling the soft warmth of her in his arms, “I couldn’t resist. You can hit me if you want.”

Ying Zijin turned her head away, “Never mind, I wouldn’t want to.”

Yun Shan hissed and quickly covered his eyes.

He just couldn’t bear to watch.

Yun Wu still had an expressionless face, but his muscles twitched slightly.

After letting him hug her, Ying Zijin stepped back, “Commander, in broad daylight, mind the impact.”
