Huh? An Lin had a bad premonition as he looked at Yi Xis expression.

Could it be that this really was a blank cheque?!

Meanwhile, in the Peach Blossom Pavilion of the Heavenly Court.

A woman in a simple Daoist robe supported her cheeks with her hands and stared out at the peach blossoms outside her window as she heaved a light sigh.

Her slender fingers played with strands of her own hair absentmindedly as she stared off into the distance with a vacant expression, seemingly pondering something to herself.

Whats bothering you this time, Xiao Zi? [1. zi = purple in chinese]

A warm and gentle voice sounded behind her, dragging her back to reality.

Father! Stop calling me by my nickname, you just made me think of that bastard again! The woman whined at the graceful, bearded man behind her.

The man was the esteemed monarch of the Kingdom of the Nine States, but he did not get mad at his daughters rebuke. Instead, he chuckled with a doting expression. This shows that heroes like Mr. An and myself think alike. Werent his beast pets named Xiao Hong, Da Bai, and things like that? These names are both practical and pleasing to the ear.

Ha, does that mean father sees me as a beast pet? The woman retorted indignantly.

The mans voice faltered as he came to a loss for words.

He felt like his daughter was beginning to argue with him more and more. He had clearly tried to mold her into an elegant and graceful gentlewoman, but for some reason, her temper seemed to be getting worse and worse recently

The woman was none other than Lin Junjun, who had been enraged countless times by An Lin and the man in front of her that appeared simultaneously graceful and imposing at the same time. He was naturally the most powerful existence in all of the Kingdom of the Nine States, the monarch of the Heavenly Court the Celestial Thearch.

The Celestial Thearch had initially planned to name his seven daughters after the colors of the rainbow, but this idea was firmly rebuked by his wife, who then named their daughters Tian Shou, Tian Yang, Tian Rong, Tian Chang, Tian Xian, Tian Qing, and Tian Yu.

The seven daughters naturally preferred the more ordinary-sounding names proposed by their mother, so the color-based names gradually became a thing of the past with only the Celestial Thearch still stubbornly referring to his daughters as such.

When the Celestial Thearch found out that An Lin of The United University of Cultivation also liked to name his beast pets after colors, he felt as if he had discovered his soul mate. If it wasnt for the fact that he wanted to leave An Lin to progress at his own pace for a few years, he wouldve summoned An Lin for a meeting a long time ago.

Are you fretting about that An Lin b*stard again? The Celestial Thearch smiled lightly.

Uh-huh that b*stard, hes bullying me for being poor again Lin Junjun puckered her lips in displeasure.

The Celestial Thearch was quite happy to hear this. This is good news, to be able to dig up so much information regarding the Purple Star Civilization. You and I both know how monumental that would be for the development of the Heavenly Court. Mr. An truly is a prodigy, Im beginning to like him more and more

The Celestial Thearch paused before continuing, How about this, there should be a spare five hundred vital stones that can be withdrawn from the treasury in a few days. You can withdraw all of that from the God of Wealth and stump the little b*stard with your sheer wealth!

Lin Junjun rolled her eyes. Father, I dont mean to rain on your parade, but even one thousand vital stones might not be enough.

What?! The Celestial Thearch monarch exclaimed in shock.

Collection of information on the Purple Star Civilization was always something Tian Yu had been responsible for, so the Celestial Thearch wouldnt normally enquire about the details.

Only now did he find out that An Lin had such a vast amount of information in his grasp.

Good, great! The Celestial Thearch exclaimed exultantly after a slight pause. This is an extremely fortunate event for the Heavenly Court, Mr. An truly is a young hero! With so much information, we should be able to move on to the third stage of that experiment, right?

A hint of a smile finally appeared on Lin Junjuns face at the mention of this. She nodded and replied, The third stage is already in progress, I was just preparing to present a report to you about this.

The Celestial Thearch was greatly elated and chortled heartily. This An Lin certainly is capable of doing a lot of things others cant. This is both a show of his strength as well as a manifestation of his luck. Xiao Zi, I wouldnt object if you want to get a bit closer to him

Lin Junjun was, of course, able to read between the lines to decipher the implication behind her fathers words. A light blush instantly appeared on her porcelain-like face, and she was just about to reply when she discovered the voice transmission talisman was vibrating in her storage ring.

She retrieved the voice transmission talisman to find that the caller was Yi Xi the Enlightened.

Huh? Why is Yi Xi the Enlightened contacting me? She was quite confused but still chose to accept the call.

A voice sounded through the voice transmission talisman, but it was not Yi Xis voice. It was instead a voice that was, to her, an extremely familiar one

Hey, Lin Junjun, youve gone too far! Whats the meaning behind this blank cheque youve given to me!?

The voice belonged to none other than An Lin, and he was clearly in a sour mood as he immediately unleashed a scathing tirade as soon as the call connected.

Lin Junjun was startled by his tirade, but as smart as she was, she managed to get an idea of what had happened in no time. Are you exchanging for an immortal pill right now?

Thats exactly right! Speaking of which, how could you bully honest people like me!?

Arent you afraid of bad karma for your deceitful actions? Can you bully us, members of the proletariat, just because youve got a powerful father? Youve already lucked out by exchanging one immortal pill for a dozen symbols, but now you gave me a f*cking blank cheque? Do you not have a conscience

An Lin relentlessly ran his mouth to vent his rage.

It was not a good feeling to have Yi Xi stare at him as if he was a retard. He genuinely felt like he had been scammed by Tian Yu, but it wasnt like he could do anything to her, so he could only try to use his words to awaken her conscience

Ahem Xiao Zi, did you really scam him? The Celestial Thearch looked at his daughter curiously.

Lin Junjuns chest tightened at her fathers words. She wanted nothing more than to end the transmission!

Yes, she did not notify Yi Xi in advance about the Yu character she had written for An Lin.

This was because a thought suddenly occurred to her after she returned to the Heavenly Court, and that was that she could screw An Lin around a bit for all the times he had bullied her. She envisioned him getting humiliated in the Dou Shuai Palace, at which time she would swoop in all high and mighty and explain the situation to Yi Xi.

There was no problem with her plan, but now that her father was standing behind her, listening to the conversation, the whole thing was entirely different. How should she explain it to her father? She wasnt someone that would write blank cheques, but the reality had already been presented to him Even if she explained that she only wanted to play a prank on An Lin, it was still a display of pettiness

An Lins enraged voice was still coming through non-stop from the other end of the voice transmission talisman. Lin Junjuns body trembled slightly as her cheeks reddened as she had been forced to the brink of tears by An Lin.

Its him again its always him All he does is bully me!

The Celestial Thearch could already guess roughly what had happened from Lin Junjuns expression. He shook his head and patted her on the shoulder. You two truly are destined to be enemies [2. Chinese term used for the enemy here has a double meaning, which can also refer to two people who are destined to be lovers. The idea is that it reflects a couple who fight all the time and appear as if they were sworn enemies but actually have a very close relationship.]

The Celestial Thearch didnt really care that Lin Junjun was doing these things, but Lin Junjun was very easily embarrassed so she would naturally be feeling quite distraught at the fact that her father had discovered her actions.

Ill leave you to take care of this yourself and quell that little b*stards anger, haha. The Celestial Thearch knew he would only be adding to his daughters stress if he stayed so he voluntarily turned and left.

All the while, An Lin was still running his mouth

Enough! Dont you want an immortal pill? Pass the talisman to Yi Xi!

Lin Junjun finally roared in a rage after the Celestial Thearch left.

Eh?

Yes, Master Tianyu!

After a short pause, An Lin realized that his torrent of coercion seemed to have worked and excitedly passed the voice transmission talisman to Yi Xi.

Lin Junjun explained the situation to Yi Xi with a frosty expression.

She cut off the voice transmission talisman with rage as her chest rose and fell lightly. She humphed lightly and couldnt help but clench her fists as the image of a certain man chortling with mirth appeared in her mind.

An Lin youll pay for this!
